We are an on-the-go culture, making quick trips to neighborhood establishments, longer drives to other cities, and even further journeys while on vacation. If conversation ebbs between travelers, or if the driver is alone, music helps the trip fly by with casual entertainment. Podcasts are also very effective if the travelers are interested in current events and other diversions.

Podcasts are not limited to drive time; sticking a pair of ear buds in while relaxing or falling asleep is a common practice. Any and every topic is available. But for Christians who live busy lives (and even those who don’t), the addition of podcasts to help grow their faith as a supplement to Bible reading is a time-redeeming blessing.

A quick glance at just the current list of top-ranked Christian podcasts offers 249 selections. That’s a lot of choices. A Christian must be discerning, however, and not everything listed as Christian is true to the orthodox teachings of God’s Word. Following is a list of 11 best, solidly biblical podcasts to help grow our faith, with an added bonus of three other audio resources. The list is in no particular order of importance.

Have you decided to begin or renew a particular Christian habit? Proverbs 4:7 tells us wisdom is the skillful application of knowledge. There is a moral component to it as well. Know who you are before you embark upon a habit. God may lead you in a direction best suited to your unique person.

How many years is a generation in the Bible? The answer helps us to understand not just how the Bible emphasizes the importance of family, but also why it's important to pass lessons on.

Nicodemus had spent his whole life endeavoring to do something to gain God’s favor, and there he finally sat in His presence, seeking answers. Nicodemus needed spiritual birth, and Jesus pointed him to that prophecy spoken in the two texts from the Old Testament.

We belong to Christ, and we are His bride (2 Corinthians 11:2). How do we get to know the One who saved us from the wrath of God except by spending time in His Word — the Bible? But is it biblical to say we have to read the Bible every day to achieve this?

Christians, share these comforting and strengthening passages with families suffering through miscarriage. We can also comfort unbelievers with the same passages, assuring our beloved ones of the hope we have in Christ. 

A piece of printed paper or cardstock is, in and of itself, harmless. But the use of such an article for sinful intent is therefore evil. Because of their use in a sinful manner, it’s best to have no association with them, no matter how innocent the investigation.

It indeed takes courage to follow Jesus. But if we accept Him as Savior and Lord, how can we not fully devote our lives to Him? To do otherwise is to remain spiritually immature, missing the myriad blessings of His grace. 

As Jesus’ saints, we persevere and we are assured God will complete in us what He began (Philippians 1:16). At the moment of true conversion, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. He is our guarantee.

As you get ready to “do battle,” make your faith active and remember you are an ambassador of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20), called and equipped by God for His good pleasure and glory.

This verse is a pause in the creation process as God explains what He is going to do next — and why. God created the human race in His image and likeness using the pronouns “Us” and “Our” and that man should have dominion over what He created.
