Jesus spent a lot of time in the Gospels warning about the pitfalls of money and teaching about the proper way to see it. So why is it that most Christians today seem so preoccupied with making, spending and saving money, even at the expense of Jesus’ teachings?
The truth is, how we approach our finances says a lot about how much we trust God, how well we love those around us, and how eternally minded we are. What are the consequences of getting our perspective wrong? And what can we do to make sure we stay on the right track? Most importantly, how can we use our finances as a tool to grow our faith?

“Whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do.” These are Jesus’ words to His disciples before His death and resurrection. Do we believe them? What do they mean for us today?
We often think these words pertain only to Jesus’ miracles; but what about the hard work of serving our neighbors or sharing the good news? Are we able today to surpass what He has achieved? What does it take?

As Christians, how should we approach life’s inevitable troubles and disappointments? From everyday struggles to catastrophic loss, life can definitely be disappointing at times. Do we hope these troubles won’t happen to us, or pretend everything is fine? Or do we let them derail our faith and cast doubt on what we believe?
When it comes to dealing with disappointment, we can learn a lot from the life of Jesus. He Himself faced the rejection of His own people, betrayal by close friends, and an excruciating death. If we can adopt His perspective on disappointment, a whole new life opens up to us.

A quick reading through the New Testament reveals dozens of warnings against false teachers and their “new gospels.” In many places where Jesus’ disciples shared His good news, false teachers were quick to try to get these new believers to trust in something else.
Today is not so different. In present day Christianity, there are a lot of things competing for our trust. We are quick to put our trust in money, education, or the government, and we often save the real good news of Jesus for last. What would it look like to put our trust entirely in Jesus and His true gospel?

It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the meaning of the word, “love.” At least that is what we think. But odds are the word has probably lost its meaning to us. We use the term to refer to vastly different things; how can they all have the same meaning?
The truth is there’s actually a difference between the love for coffee and sunsets and the love that we show our children or parents. So what does it mean when we say we love God? For that matter, what does He mean when He says that He loves us?

Talking about thankfulness around this time of year may feel a little cliché, but in 2020 of all years, it is important to practice gratitude. It certainly has been a difficult year so far, but the practice of thanksgiving can actually unlock a multitude of blessing.
Our enemy the devil certainly does not want followers of Jesus to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised, and that is why giving thanks can sometimes feel like a battle. The act of remembering all that we’ve been blessed with––instead of focusing on what we lack––is the key to victory.

This week Steve & Vicki answer listener questions. How can we become more unified in the Church? How do you forgive yourself when the consequences of your actions are always staring you in the face? If Jesus came today, would He have an iPhone?

As we enter the Christmas season––a season defined by gift giving––we wanted to revisit a popular, and controversial former episode. Back in May of this year (2020), we talked about Jesus’ uncomfortable teachings on sacrifice.
What happens when we decide not to skip over these tough teachings and embrace self-sacrifice? What would our world look life if Christians were more concerned for the welfare of our neighbors than our own comfort and safety?

Here on The Uncommon Truth we’ve spent a lot of time discussing the question of how we follow Jesus. However, for most of the world, the question that matters most has more to do with why we follow Jesus.
As we draw closer to Christmas––a time when the world around pays lip service to Jesus’ birth––it’s a great time to get back to basics. Why do we follow Jesus anyway? Why is Jesus’ birth that first Christmas still important today? And what does it mean for those of us who claim to follow Him?

For the start of our second “season,” we’re discussing what makes The Uncommon Truth so uncommon and taking a look ahead to see what’s on the horizon for 2021.
If you’re new to the show, you’ll hear a message that has become almost unheard of in the modern Christian Church: listen to Jesus and do what He says. It’s refreshing, it’s challenging and it’s Christianity the way Jesus meant it to be.
