Depressed? You Matter To God! May 23, 2026 26:29 Where is God when you are depressed?When depression presses in, God can feel distant — as if your pain has carried you beyond His reach. In this study of Psalm 139, Dr. Toby Holt shows the opposite is true: there is no valley dark enough to take you outside the presence and care of God. David confesses that God has searched him and known him completely — his sitting down and rising up, his words b

Why, God? (When We Ask God Why) May 23, 2026 27:15 Why would a good God let this happen to me?When calamity strikes for no reason we can see, the question on our lips is the same one Job asked: why? In this study of Job 10, Dr. Toby Holt walks through the prayer of a broken man — the most righteous man on earth in his day — who has lost nearly everything and now says, "My soul loathes my life." Dr. Holt is candid that Job's cry is close to "I wish

A Towering Yet Tender God May 21, 2026 24:01 If God is so great, why would He care about someone like you?Standing on his rooftop beneath a sky of tens of thousands of stars, King David marveled at the heavens and asked, "What is man that You are mindful of him?" (Psalm 8:4). In this study of Psalm 8, Dr. Toby Holt sets the scale: God is not a little greater than us but infinitely greater — every army and weapon charging His holy hill would

Invitation To The Overwhelmed May 20, 2026 27:29 What does Jesus offer the weary and overwhelmed?Some days the weight of life threatens to drown and defeat us. In this study of Matthew 11:28-30, Dr. Toby Holt opens one of Christ's most tender invitations: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Dr. Holt shows that Jesus does not call the strong and self-sufficient but the burdened — the very people the worl

The Promise (God Keeps His Word) Jan 21, 2026 21:50 Can you trust God's promises when you feel forgotten?The Bible is full of promises — some made by men, and some made by God. In this study of Deuteronomy, Dr. Toby Holt shows the contrast: human promises are notoriously flimsy and often broken, but the promises of God are iron-clad. On the plains of Moab, Moses gathers a new generation of Israel — the children of those who came out of Egypt — to r

God Will Provide (How He Looks After You) Jan 8, 2026 25:28 Will God provide for you even when you cannot see how?God looks after His children — manna from heaven, water from the rock, and, in this study of 1 Kings 17, ravens carrying bread to a hidden prophet. Dr. Toby Holt traces how God cared for Elijah by the Brook Cherith during a famine, then sent him to a widow in Zarephath who was down to her last handful of flour and preparing a final meal for her

The Light And The Darkness Oct 4, 2025 22:54 How do you live in the light when the world feels dark?We live out our earthly days in the shadowlands, surrounded by a mixture of darkness and light. In this study of 1 Thessalonians 5, Dr. Toby Holt addresses a church wrestling with anxiety — about the coming day of the Lord and about believers who had died. Paul answers their fear not with denial but with identity: "You are all sons of light an

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled Mar 21, 2025 26:30 What do you do when your heart is troubled?In the Upper Room, on the night of the Last Supper, Christ's disciples were shaken — a betrayer sat among them, Jesus had spoken of His departure and death, and the men who had followed Him for three years now faced separation and danger. In this study of John 13-14, Dr. Toby Holt shows how Jesus steadies anxious hearts. First He gives a new commandment —
