Pastor and bestselling author Andrew Farley delivers weekly messages and radio shows focused on the grace of God. The podcast explores Christian teachings and practical applications of grace in daily life.
Episodes
Movies, Video Games and Rock Music
What do you think about R-rated movies, M-rated video games, and heavy metal music? At the rapture, will only Christians hear the trumpet? Are we with Jesus immediately upon our death, or do we sleep and awaken at the rapture?
Outer Darkness? No Repentance?
What does the Parable of the Talents mean? Who does the servant thrown into outer darkness represent? Hebrews 6 warns those who have "tasted" that, if they fall away, they can't find repentance. Who is this warning really for?
New Heart. Baptism. Addiction.
What does "obedient from the heart" really mean in Romans 6? Do you think I can baptize my own boys? I still struggle with alcoholism and pornography. Am I missing a truth? Or what's my main problem?
Pets in Heaven?
How can God tell us to "go forth and multiply" when humanity is sinful? Isn't that a contradiction? Why does God seem so different in the Old Testament? Will we see our pets again in Heaven?
How to Forgive Those Who Hurt You Deeply!
My father has a short time to live. How can I effectively share the gospel with him when he doesn't seem open? My mother is in a memory care facility, and this has caused a rift between me and my sister. I wonder what to do! Can you explain the "left behind" concept again from Matthew 24 and Luke 17? How often should we do the Lord's Supper? What about claim we shouldn't do it at all?
Better Than Religion - Part 12
What If Jesus Already Took It All Away? What if forgiveness isn't a payment plan? Religion thrives on repeat performances, but the Gospel announces, "Paid in full." Discover why Christ's better blood, better sacrifice, and better covenant mean your sins aren't merely covered… they're taken away once and for all! Discussion Questions for Hebrews 9-10: What does Hebrews mean when it says Jesus offe
Oneness with Jesus. Christ's Return. Final Judgment.
Can Mormon theology lead to salvation? Is anyone in their church saved? Jesus prayed for our "oneness" with Him in John 17, but does that happen for us now or later in Heaven? How can we die and be "present with the Lord" but then "the dead in Christ will rise first" at His return? When is the Matthew 25 final judgment in relation to the return of Christ?
Broken Off. Grafted In. (Rom. 11)
Why did Paul tell the Corinthians to "examine themselves" before the Lord's Supper? What is "not my will but Your will be done" really mean? Does Romans 11 mean that we Gentile believers have been grafted into Israel?
Forgiveness. Prayer. Spiritual Gifts.
Why did God require the shedding of blood for forgiveness of sins? I told someone Jesus came to serve us, but they didn't get it. What are your thoughts on cessationism? Have the spiritual gifts stopped? I have been experiencing disappointment in my prayer life. Am I praying wrong?
No Tongues = No Holy Spirit?
Our church leadership is telling me that I don't have the Holy Spirit living in me, because I don't speak in tongues. Is that truly the main evidence of salvation? And what about praying in a heavenly tongue? I'm wondering about salvation and in particular, my father, who was raised Catholic. What is the bare minimum that saves a person? What role does water baptism play?
Don't Waste Your Life?
What if Jesus, risen from the dead, were the only reason you behaved? How can we live differently knowing Christ is our life? A popular teaching has me worried that I might waste my life. What are your thoughts on finding purpose? How do we face strongholds or persistent struggles and temptations?
Saved by His Life? Ten Commandments? Out of Fellowship?
What does it mean to enter God's rest? Why is the cross not enough? What role does the resurrection play in our salvation? What purpose do the Ten Commandments serve? What about in the life of a believer? Do Christians "fall out of fellowship" with God when they sin?
Better Than Religion - Part 11
Did You Put the Veil Back Up? Christians believe in Jesus, but many still live like they're standing in the outer court of the Old Testament tabernacle. Always wondering if they're close enough, clean enough, spiritual enough. That's outer court theology. In this powerful message, Andrew Farley explodes this theology with the radical truth of the New Covenant. This New Covenant, which began the mo
Narrow Gate? Christians in Hell?
How many returns of Christ are there? How does this fit with the idea of a "secret" rapture? What about the final judgment? Those clothed in white in Revelation 7? And the 144,000? Does "narrow gate" in Matthew 7 mean most Christians are going to Hell? What are your thoughts on "profession versus possession"? How hard is it to be saved? What's the minimum needed?
Saved Forever? Repentance? Dreams?
I'm a new believer and keep hearing mixed messages about our security in Christ. Can we lose our salvation or not? When we sin as believers, do we need to repent? My parents have a friend who is constantly having dreams about people dying. How should we look at those dreams?
Standing on God's Promises? Jesus Gave Us His Glory?
Is suicide an unforgivable sin? What does it mean to stand on the promises of God? What are they? What does Jesus mean by "giving us His glory" in John 17?
Women, AI, and Demon Babies
Why does Paul mention "childbirth" in 1 Timothy 2? And how is that related to being "saved"? Is it okay for pastors to use artificial intelligence to write their sermons? What about as a resource? Were fallen angels having relations with women in Genesis 6? If so, are they still around?
Prayer, Worry, and Communion
What does being a "bondservant" of Christ entail? Should we even pray about physical things? Or is the only comfort that God provides spiritual in nature? What does Matthew 6 really mean about not worrying? I read 1 Corinthians 11 about examining yourself" before communion, and now I'm concerned. What is that passage saying?
Better Than Religion - Part 10
Are You Living Under the Right Covenant? In this message, Andrew Farley unveils the life-changing promises of the New Covenant. What if your relationship with God thrived not on performance, but on the assurance that He has engraved His laws on your heart. Discover the profound truth that you belong first and foremost, freeing you from comparison and the weight of past failures. Embrace the realit
Prayer, Self-Worth, and the Soul
How much should we depend on prayer? How should we pray? I've been struggling with doubt and self-worth for a while now. Can you help me? What is the difference between the soul and the spirit? Is it possible that we lose salvation in the soul, but not in the spirit?
Conscience vs. Holy Spirit Created vs. Begotten
What is the conscience? What role does it play in our lives as believers? Does the conscience sometimes disagree with the Holy Spirit? A transgender person came forward to be saved, and now wants to be baptized soon in our church. Our pastor has no idea, so should I tell him? Did God create Jesus? What is the difference between being created and being the Father's only "begotten"?
Secret Rapture? Drug Addiction?*
When the church is taken to heaven, will unbelievers be aware? How can God love someone like me? I'm an addict! Can you help me with my problem? *Previously aired
Secret Rapture? Drug Addiction?
When the church is taken to heaven, will unbelievers be aware? How can God love someone like me? I'm an addict! Can you help me with my problem?
Ask the Holy Spirit for Access? Just Claim Healing?
Andrew, has God ever inspired you to pray for something in life or ministry and you struggled along the way? I heard a minister say you have to ask the Holy Spirit for access to God in prayer. Is that true? I have some major health issues, and some people tell me that I should just claim healing because of the finished work of Jesus. Am I free to spend money to seek medical advice?
Just discovered my "new self." Am I crazy?!
Do people who reject "once saved, always saved" really believe God might kick us when we're down? What can you say about Christ as the Living Word? How can I share the "Christ in you" message effectively with others? What happens to Jews (and Gentiles) who don't hear and believe the gospel today? And what about Jews in Old Testament times? Suddenly, understand the new self in a deeper and more me
Better Than Religion - Part 9
Why settle for religion when Jesus brought something better? What makes Jesus better? Hebrews answers with one powerful truth: He lives forever. Unlike every priest before Him, Jesus never dies, never retires, never needs a successor, and never abandons His post. As the eternal High Priest, He is the guarantor of a better covenant founded on better promises. His finished work doesn't need repeatin
Appointed to life? Judgment for sins?
What does "appointed to life" mean in Acts 14:38? Why are Gentiles mentioned in that passage and near every teaching in the New Testament on predestination? Why did somebody tell me, "actions speak louder than words"? Why do so many churches have elaborate (and expensive) programs for children? Will God judge believers for their sins?
Babies in Heaven? The Holocaust? Dietary Laws?
What age are we in Heaven? What about babies? Why does God allow bad things (like the Holocaust) to happen? Can Christians eat whatever they want? Why or why not? What about our freedom from the Law: How does that play into the Christian life?
Women in Church? Pride Month?
Can women be active ministers of the gospel? It's such a hot topic in our churches right now, so what's your take? With it being "pride month" right now, what guidance, insights, or passages of Scripture would you use to help those who may be confused about the issue?
Are You Still Sinful? Why Do You Still Sin?
Are believers still sinful by nature? At salvation, what changed? Why do we still sin? Doesn't God appear evil in the book of Job? I think James 2 is just talking about works after you're saved. Why do you say the passage is about being justified (saved) by responding to God with faith?
Saved Without Good Theology?
Is it sinful to follow company policy and use a colleague's preferred pronouns? Did God listen to my prayers before I was saved? If you don't believe in "once saved, always saved," you're not saved at all?
Chose or Chosen? Science or Faith? Taken or Left Behind?*
How do we start conversations with strangers about salvation? Why do Christians say they "chose" to believe in Christ? Aren't we just "persuaded" by God? I don't know how to read well and often don't understand the Bible. Does God still hear me? How can I show someone they must get counseling to fix their marriage? I know someone who doesn't believe in God, because she wants to be a "woman of scie
Better Than Religion - Part 8
Is Moses Fired If Jesus Is Hired? You can't have Jesus as your priest and Moses as your moral compass. When the priesthood changes, the law changes. Plus, Jesus blew up the entire system the moment he showed up in the wrong tribe to be a priest under the law! Discussion Questions for Hebrews 7: Is Hebrews 7:8–10 really about tithing, or is the writer making a deeper point? React to this statement
Filled with the Spirit? Struck dead?
What does it really mean to be filled with the Spirit? I'm getting married next week: Do you have any advice? Why were Ananias and Sapphira struck dead by God? Should I teach my children to be terrified of Hell?
Predestination? Foreknowledge? Suffering?
Should we expect a review of all our sins? What is predestination? What about foreknowledge? How can there be a God if children die of leukemia?
Sabbath? Alcohol? Remarriage?
Are we obligated to keep the Sabbath? What does it mean to rest in Christ? Should I sign a petition allowing the sale of alcohol in my area? Exactly how much faith is necessary at the moment of salvation? What if there was also some doubt? Would a second marriage mean living in perpetual adultery?
License to sin? License plate from God?
Does too much grace make people sin more? I think I'm getting a sign from God that I should move to Texas. Am I correct? Is it ever biblical to reduce or cut contact with a friend?
How Do Righteous People Still Sin?
What was the work Jesus had "finished" in John 17:4 if He hadn't even died yet? How can we no longer be "sinful" (instead, righteous) if we still commit sins? I've had nagging doubts about my salvation for many years. What can I do?
Chose or Chosen? Science or Faith? Taken or Left Behind?
How do we start conversations with strangers about salvation? Why do Christians say they "chose" to believe in Christ? Aren't we just "persuaded" by God? I don't know how to read well and often don't understand the Bible. Does God still hear me? How can I show someone they must get counseling to fix their marriage? I know someone who doesn't believe in God, because she wants to be a "woman of scie
Better Than Religion - Part 7
Is God's promise to Himself anchoring your salvation? Hebrews 6 is about anchoring your confidence in God's promise, not your consistency. Andrew Farley reveals why you're not inching closer to God through quiet times, church attendance, or spiritual effort. In Christ, you are already near, already secure, already anchored. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 6-7: Hebrews 6:11 speaks of "the full as
Tongues? Sinless performance? Obedience?
Is the gift of tongues for every believer? Does it prove we are truly saved? Do believers still sin? What "laws" do we have written on our hearts? My fellow pastors advise me to teach more on obedience. What are your thoughts?
Perfect Parenting? Die to Self?
I want to be a great mom, but I'm overwhelmed by my mistakes. How can I find freedom? Do we need to die to self? Die daily? I heard some Christians won't go to heaven because they didn't go to church enough. Is this true?
Hurt by a Pastor? Work Out Your Salvation?
I've been so hurt by bad teaching that I don't know how to react when I still hear it. Can you help me process the pain? Is God giving me a sign that I should leave my job because it's so frustrating at times? What does it mean to "work out your salvation"?
Predestined? Left Behind? Generational Curses?
Does God really pre-select some to believe while others can't be saved? Why is "predestined" in Romans and Ephesians, not elsewhere? Does suicide disqualify us from heaven? Can you explain "left behind" in Matthew 24 and Luke 17? You say we should want to be left behind? Why? Do believers need to worry about generational curses?
Moral Law? Wicked Hearts?
Are Christians still under the "moral law" (Ten Commandments)? How do I best share grace with my friends when I've been rejected? I planted seeds of grace in the lives of my friends, and years later, there's a harvest! Do Christians have wicked hearts, or new hearts, or both?
Better Than Religion - Part 6
What If Hebrews' Most Terrifying Passages Are Not About You? Hebrews 6 has terrified Christians for centuries. But what if this warning passage was never written to threaten Christians at all? In this eye-opening message, Andrew Farley reveals the true audience and context behind Hebrews 6. These warnings weren't aimed at believers secure in Christ, but at first-century Hebrews standing at a cross
Are You "Good" or Still "Bad"?
"Well, done, good and faithful servant"- is God talking to us there or to Jesus? Are we believers "good" or "bad"? What is the healthy and humble view? Do we need to confess sins to God daily to be forgiven and cleansed? What is confession and its place in our lives? How can someone find joy again after going through something traumatic?
Do You Need to Serve God More?
I keep hearing about the Ethiopian Bible and missing books in our canon. Is there truth to this? My pastor says we need to serve the Lord more. What does that really look like? After hearing a message on Zephaniah, I'm afraid I might be "stepping on the threshold" or disrespecting God and missing out on His best. Can you help?
Giants, Calvinists & Curse Words
How did giants reappear after the flood? How were stones moved to build the pyramids? What are your thoughts on the Calvinist "tulip"? Is it a sin to say curse words?
Politics, Predestination, and the Church
My pastor goes on long, political rants and often seems distracted from the gospel. What should I do? What is the truth about the doctrine of election? Did Jesus die for everyone? What about Calvinism and Arminianism? Did God predestine some to believe while others have no chance?
Saved Forever: Fact or Fantasy?
I asked some Jehovah's Witnesses if Christ lives in them, and they said "no." Are they saved? What about my child who doesn't want to talk about Christianity very much? What can you do when you feel like you're constantly falling short of God's expectations? Andrew, do you ever worry you're doing mental gymnastics to believe we're eternally secure?
Better Than Religion - Part 5
Hungry for More than Milk? This message reveals a stunning truth: Jesus gets you. He understands. Not from a distance. Not from a throne room. From experience. He stepped into your struggle. He knows your pain. With Him, there is no scorekeeping, no distance, no performance review. Just a High Priest with scars who meets you in your worst moments with mercy, grace, and an unshakable salvation. He
Is following "my desires" sin?
Our church gets a lot of things right, but they still don't teach total forgiveness. What should I do? Do you think Jesus showed up in the Old Testament? If so, where? How should we interpret John 15:13 about giving up one's life for his friends? Is this a good definition of sin: "following my desires instead of God's desires"? What are my true desires?
Beat Your Body? To Be Qualified?
Does more persecution mean more rewards for us in heaven? Is that what Jesus teaches in Matthew 5? Why does Paul say he "beats his body" and makes it his "slave"? And he does it ao he won't be disqualified?
Cheap grace! Easy Believism!
What is the meaning of the parable of the wicked servant? What would you say to those who hurl accusations of cheap grace, hyper-grace, and easy believism? It feels like some worship services are way over the top! What are your thoughts on worship?
"Our hope is not in Washington D.C."
My church allows women to teach a few times a year. What are they thinking? My husband passed away 20 years ago, and I wonder where exactly he is now: in heaven or waiting to see Jesus? How should we view the political world as a believers?
Encouragement for Pastors
Are we Christians teaching "the Devil made me do it" and thereby creating an excuse for crime among unbelievers? How can I encourage my friend who is a pastor and seems like he's burning out? Does the Old Testament justify abandoning your father when you've had a disagreement?
Doubting Salvation. Abuse in Marriage.
I've struggled with porn during my life. I recently relapsed and then started to doubt my salvation. I have OCD, so that makes it even worse. Help! Why was the apostle Paul silent on the matter of abuse in marriage? Why doesn't he mention it in 1 Corinthians 7?
Recognizing "God's Voice"
Why was Cain's sacrifice not acceptable to God? Why did Jesus still offer a morsel of bread dipped in wine to Judas? How can I recognize God's voice in my life? I'm in an abusive family situation and I'm trying to have some healthy boundaries. Can you help me navigate this? Why do I keep making bad decisions in life? Does this mean I'm doing something wrong in my faith? As a believer, should I be
Better Than Religion - Part 4
Are you relaxing with God? Hebrews 4 reveals the one thing religion usually hides: Rest isn't a reward for the elite; it's the current location of the believer. Not someday. Right now. There is no second experience to chase and no level you need to reach. You are not behind. You are not missing something. You are in. This is the gospel of rest and it will change the way you. Discussion Questions f
How to Have Discernment and Joy
So many people take advantage of me and others. It's hard to know when to help people. How can I be more discerning? Why does Paul list people who won't inherit the kingdom? What if we've committed things on that list? I worry, because I don't seem to experience the Christian joy other believers have.
Are You Good, Evil or Both?*
Why do some translations of John 3:16 not say "begotten"? What does "begotten" refer to? Hasn't Jesus always existed? In Genesis 6, God sees evil everywhere. What about now? And does He see believers the same way? What does "I die daily" mean in 1 Corinthians 15? What did Jews in the Old Testament (and now) think of the Holy Spirit? *previously aired
Are You Good, Evil or Both?
Why do some translations of John 3:16 not say "begotten"? What does "begotten" refer to? Hasn't Jesus always existed? In Genesis 6, God sees evil everywhere. What about now? And does He see believers the same way? What does "I die daily" mean in 1 Corinthians 15? What did Jews in the Old Testament (and now) think of the Holy Spirit?
"Jesus doesn't live in me…"
I've believed in God my whole life, but I don't have a relationship with Jesus. What am I doing wrong? How do I explain "count yourselves dead to sin"? What does that mean? Is it wrong for Christians to listen to secular music?
"Should we measure our growth?"
Why doesn't God prioritize the value of marriage in heaven? What is true spiritual growth? Should we measure it somehow? I think God told me to move to Texas, but I don't want to. Will I be forgiven?
The Law: Fulfilled or Being Fulfilled?
How can I encourage my friend who is depressed? Her belief system seems to be the source! What do the five spiritual senses represent in your book, "Heaven is Now"? Who is the antichrist? Who is the man of lawlessness? When was the book of Revelation written? Did Jesus return in A.D. 70? Is there "soul sleep" or are we with God immediately upon our death? My friends tell me we are still under the
Better Than Religion - Part 3
Have you entered the promised land of Jesus? If so, then relax! Hebrews 3 calls us to one simple, life-altering focus: Consider Jesus. In a world full of religious noise, tradition, and performance, it's easy to get distracted and miss the gospel entirely. This message cuts through the confusion, showing the clear contrast between law and grace, servant and Son, striving and rest. It reveals that
Catholics, Jews, and Protestants
How do you reconcile Revelation 7 and 19 with the church being left behind and not "taken away"? At what point were the Jews no longer doing the right thing with their Temple practices? Also, wasn't righteousness always by faith anyway? Did Martin Luther delete certain books from the Bible? A Catholic person told me that Protestantism is a cult and that Catholicism is the only true faith. How do I
The Easy (and Only) Way to Bear Fruit
Does "like a thief in the night" mean Jesus is returning quietly and secretly? In practical terms, what does it mean to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice" (Romans 12)? How does bearing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives actually happen?
"Are households automatically saved?"
Should we look to Israel as our prophetic time clock? What is eternal life in Hell really like? Is it possible that households are automatically saved after one parent believes? Do I have to read the Bible or are there other, more enjoyable ways for me personally to learn more about the gospel?
What If Everything Is Free?
Some people in our Bible study think they have to act perfectly sinless to make it to heaven. Are they right? What about after salvation? Do we have to be broken, or crushed, or experience extreme pressure in order to be used by God or enjoy the anointing of the His Spirit?
Punishment? Discipline? Loss of Salvation?
Might Jesus say "I never knew you" to Christians? What's the difference between God's punishment and His discipline? Can I lose my salvation? Seems like a lot of adult children are abandoning their parents these days!
"I just got saved. Now, they say I need tongues!"*
What does the resurrection mean for us personally? I just got saved recently, and now they say I need the gift of tongues to be truly saved! Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler, "Why do you call me good?"? Are there two final judgments or only one? What will it be like? My son has joined a cult, and I'm asking you to pray for him! *previously aired
Better Than Religion - Part 2
You're a gift from the Father to Jesus… This isn't a gentle introduction to Christianity—it's a full-on courtroom case for why Jesus is better than religion. In this opening message from Hebrews, Andrew dismantles the idea that faith is about balancing law and grace or managing your performance before God. And through His finished work, your sins aren't being managed… they're gone. It's time to qu
Return. Judgment. Tribulation. Reign.
One is taken and another is left behind? But the church meets Jesus in the air? One return of Christ or two? One final judgment or two? Plus, how does all this jive with the tribulation and the millennial reign?
"I'm not in love with my wife!"
Years ago, I felt pressured to marry my wife and now we don't have the romantic relationship I feel we should. What should I do? What are the rules for physical intimacy in dating? My husband has been asked to sponsor a relative for his Catholic confirmation. How should we reply?
The "work" is to believe? Believe more than demons?
Are works required to be saved? If not, then what does James 2 mean about faith and works? Does saving faith produce change? What is the easiest way to start and lead a home group that shares the grace message? Does 1 Timothy 5 mean that I have to financially support parents that have been unhealthy or abusive to me? How do I do the honorable thing without being consumed with bitterness or resentm
War in Iran? Science and Faith?
Did the book of Daniel prophesy about the current war in Iran? And isn't the appearance of the word "fury" in the Old Testament more than a coincidence(Operation Epic Fury)? How do we reconcile science and faith? I grew up believing the gospel but have experienced doubt about the accuracy of Biblical accounts in the Old Testament. Can you help?
You WANT to be left behind!
What happens to those who are left behind at the rapture? One of my family members is currently transitioning his gender. He went to church recently and got saved. So Is his conversion authentic? Did Paul say that getting married is an inferior existence? How can we discern the difference between heartfelt obedience and legalism?
"I just got saved. Now, they say I need tongues!"
What does the resurrection mean for us personally? I just got saved recently, and now they say I need the gift of tongues to be truly saved! Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler, "Why do you call me good?"? Are there two final judgments or only one? What will it be like? My son has joined a cult, and I'm asking you to pray for him!
