Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “This makes no sense”?

Maybe you’ve suffered a deep loss.
Maybe the prayers you’ve prayed seem to echo back in silence.
Maybe you’re in the middle of a storm that just won’t let up—and you’re wondering, “Where is God in all of this?”

If that’s you, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving deep into one of Scripture’s most gripping comeback stories: the story of Job.

From unimaginable loss to extraordinary restoration, Job’s journey teaches us what it means to trust God—not just at the beginning or the end, but right in the messy, confusing middle.

You may only see the tangled threads... But God sees the masterpiece.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

✅ Why your current pain isn’t the final chapter of your story
✅ How Job moved from frustration to faith—and how you can too
✅ Why God's restoration isn’t always about getting back what you lost, but becoming who He called you to be
✅ How to trust God when you can’t trace Him—especially when life makes no sense

If you’re walking through a season of suffering, silence, or confusion—lean in.

This message will help you hold on when you feel like letting go.

Guest Spotlight: Hiram Kemp

Have you ever struggled to share your faith in a world that doesn’t believe?

  • Maybe you’ve wanted to make an impact, but you weren’t sure how.
  • Maybe you’ve been afraid of saying the wrong thing—or saying anything at all.
  • Maybe you’ve felt like blending in was easier than standing out.

Paul understood that struggle.

In Acts 27, he wasn’t in a pulpit or a synagogue—he was on a storm-tossed ship, surrounded by 276 people who didn’t share his faith. Yet, in the chaos, Paul didn’t shrink back. He shined.

  • He remained hopeful when others lost heart.
  • He set the right priorities when fear took over.
  • He refused to hide his faith, even when it was unpopular.

And in doing so, he left behind a powerful example of what it really means to be a light in a dark world.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

✅ How to stand strong in your faith—even when you're the only believer in the room
✅ Why optimism is a gospel witness—and how your attitude in hard times can open doors for Christ
✅ The power of small actions—how something as simple as praying for your meal can spark spiritual conversations
✅ Why compassion is key—and how caring about people’s lives gives you the chance to speak into their souls

If you’ve ever wondered how to live your faith in front of unbelievers without fear, this message is for you.

Have you ever been in deep pain, only to have someone’s words make it worse?

  • Maybe they meant well, but their advice felt more like an accusation.
  • Maybe they came to comfort you, but instead, they left you feeling more alone.
  • Maybe their presence felt more like pressure than peace.

Job knew that feeling.

His life had crumbled—his wealth, his children, and his health, all gone in an instant.

When his friends arrived, they got it right at first.

They sat with him in silence, grieving beside him.

But then they started talking... and their words became another source of suffering.

In this episode, we’re diving into what Job’s friends got wrong—and how we can get it right. Because when someone around us is hurting, we have a choice:

Will we bring healing, or will we make the pain worse?

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

✅ The right and wrong way to comfort someone in pain—and how Job’s friends got it disastrously wrong
✅ Why silence can sometimes be the most powerful support—and when words do more harm than good
✅ How to be a friend who lifts burdens instead of adding to them—practical ways to show up with grace, wisdom, and compassion

If you’ve ever been hurt by someone’s words in your pain—or if you want to learn how to better comfort those who are hurting—this message is for you.

What happens when the place that’s supposed to be your refuge becomes a battleground? When the people closest to you, the ones who should lift you up, instead tear you down?

Job knew this pain all too well. After losing everything—his wealth, his children, his health—the one person who should have stood by him, his wife, told him to curse God and die. Instead of finding support at home, he found discouragement.

So what do you do when there’s no help at home? How do you hold on to faith when even those closest to you don’t understand your suffering?

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

✅ How Job responded when his wife told him to give up on God
✅ What to do when your biggest source of discouragement comes from home
✅ How to stay faithful even when you feel abandoned

If you’ve ever felt alone in your struggles, like no one understands or supports you, this episode is for you.

Have you ever felt like life keeps hitting you wave after wave, leaving you gasping for air? One moment, everything seems fine—then suddenly, trouble knocks, grief crashes in, and you find yourself asking, "What else could possibly go wrong?"

No one understood this better than Job. In a single day, his world collapsed—his wealth, his family, his security, all gone. If anyone had a reason to break, lose faith, or walk away from God, it was Job. And yet, he survived.

How? What did Job know that we need to learn? How do we endure when life feels unbearable? This episode is for you if you’ve ever faced suffering that left you questioning everything.

In This Episode, We’ll Explore:

✅ Job’s immediate response to tragedy—and why it made all the difference.
✅ The power of worship in suffering: how grief can push you toward God, not away from Him.
✅ How to find strength, stability, and healing when everything falls apart.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

✅ Why Jonah is more than just a story about a big fish—it’s a story about God’s relentless love.
✅ How God’s mercy extends to the most undeserving—even when we resist it.

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—serving, praying, standing for truth—but your heart feels distant from Christ? The fire that once burned so brightly has faded into routine.

That’s exactly what happened to the church in Ephesus. Outwardly, they were strong in doctrine and perseverance, but Jesus saw what no one else could: they had abandoned their first love.

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into Revelation 2:4-5, where Jesus not only exposes this spiritual drift but also calls His people back to passionate, wholehearted love for Him.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ The warning signs of a fading love for Christ—and how to recognize them in your own life.
✅ Jesus’ three-step prescription to restore your passion and devotion.
✅ Why faithfulness without love is dangerous—and how to rekindle what’s been lost.

If you’ve been feeling spiritually distant or just going through the motions, this message is for you. Jesus isn’t calling you out—He’s calling you back.

Are you doing all the right things—serving, showing up, and staying committed—but feeling distant from Christ? It’s possible to look faithful on the outside while your heart quietly drifts from Him.

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we dive into Revelation 2:1-4 and unpack Jesus’s message to the church in Ephesus. While they were hard-working and doctrinally sound, they had abandoned the love they once had for Him. If you’ve ever felt like your faith has become a routine or wondered how to restore the passion you once had, this episode is for you.

Together, we’ll explore:
✅ What it means to leave your first love—and how to recognize it.
✅ Why busyness for Christ isn’t the same as intimacy with Him.
✅ Three practical steps to reignite your love for Jesus and revive your faith.

Don’t let your faith grow cold. Jesus doesn’t just call us out—He calls us back. Let this episode inspire you to return to the vibrant, joyful love that started it all.

Can you really trust a book that’s over 2,000 years old to speak to what’s happening in your life today?

In this week’s episode, we dive into the breathtaking power of God’s prophetic word through the book of Isaiah. This isn’t vague fortune-telling or religious guesswork—this is precise, undeniable, and awe-inspiring foreknowledge. Names, nations, events—spoken centuries before they happened, fulfilled exactly as declared.

God doesn’t predict the future. He writes it. And Isaiah proves it.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fear about what’s coming next, or doubted whether God is still in control of a chaotic world, this message will anchor your soul.

In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

✅ What makes biblical prophecy fundamentally different from manmade predictions
✅ How Isaiah reveals the unmatched authority of God’s Word
✅ Why trusting in God’s sovereignty brings peace in uncertain times.

And if God can name kings and kingdoms before they exist, He can handle whatever you face next.
