  • Thankful for moody radio & Dr Mark Jobe

    I listen to Dr. Mark Jobe everyday on my lunch break via Moody radio. Sometimes I revisit the sermons through this podcast. I am grateful for Mark’s faithful and consistent preaching of God’s Word. It’s often the encouragement I need mid-day to set my mind on things above. I love how clear and straightforward Mark’s teaching is on our new life in Christ!! Dying to the old self, putting on the new. Thank you, Dr. Mark!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Staying Strong When Life Wears You Down -- Part 2
Q: What is psychologists' role in solving life's issues, and how does that fit with a biblical perspective?
The speaker distinguishes between secular psychology, which may conflict with biblical truth, and biblical teaching that emphasizes renewal of the mind through God's truth; psychology can be considered cautiously, but truth from Scripture ultimately transforms thinking.
Taking the Presence of God with Us -- Part 2
Q: You said God does not tempt. Then why does Jesus teach Lead us not into temptation in the Lord's Prayer?
God cannot be tempted, nor does He tempt anyone; temptation is described as a testing or enticement that comes from outside of God, but the prayer asks for deliverance from temptation and for help to resist it, highlighting God's role in providing refuge and strength rather than being the source of temptation.
It’s Not Too Late -- Part 2
Q: I do have a question for Pastor Jobe in reference to being a follower and still full of anxiety and it seems like my direction is not clear as to which way God wants me to go.
The host explains that anxiety often comes from listening to lies, and a practical approach is to bring requests before God with thanksgiving, while focusing on truths and surrounding oneself with faith-filled people who can provide direction and support.
When Life Doesn’t Make Sense -- Part 1
Q: Dean, you identify several groups of cultural Christians. What are some common barriers these groups face in understanding the true gospel?
Dean Inserra explains that many people equate belief in God with genuine faith, but a 'lowercase g' God is often a vague, imaginary figure that doesn't reflect the biblical God revealed in Christ. Barriers include a generic belief in God, moral self-righteousness, and political or cultural loyalties that people mistake for salvation; the book argues the need to see sin, forgiveness, and the call to Christ for true salvation.
Who Am I? -- Part 2
Q: If you ask God to increase your faith, is that when he tests your faith, like when you ask for patience, is that when he tests your patience?
Two main ways God grows faith are hearing His Word to build belief and going through trials that test and refine it, with the latter often strengthening faith when approached with joy and trust.
