In today’s episode of my 4-part series, “Letters from Prison” we delve into the book of Philippians. This letter provides a unique glimpse into the heart and mind of the Apostle Paul, who viewed his life as a reflection of Jesus’ journey. His profound connection to Christ filled him with a sense of hope and humility, even in his darkest hours, enabling him to find joy and contentment despite external challenges. The core message of this letter emphasizes the importance of finding joy in the Lord and maintaining a positive attitude regardless of circumstances. Paul encourages believers to cultivate joy and peace through their trust in God, urging them not to succumb to fear during times of persecution but to continue living out the teachings of Jesus amid adversity. As we reflect on Paul’s letter to the Philippian community of believers, we are encouraged not just to endure adversity but to find joy and peace through relationship with God through Christ, embodying the teachings of Jesus in our daily lives. Let this message inspire you to remain steadfast, joyful and grounded in the truth of the gospel.

Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe, a neuroplasticity expert, discusses his journey and the intersection of faith and science. He shares his experience growing up in South Africa and immigrating to the United States, as well as his personal health struggles.

Dr. Lubbe explains the Enneagram as a tool for understanding motivations and behaviors, emphasizing the importance of exploring all aspects of our personality. He also introduces the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to change and adapt. Brooke Waters co-hosts along with Jason as they challenge the idea that we cannot change and highlight the potential for growth and transformation. Dr. Lubbe emphasizes the importance of framing conversations through the lens of a safe and healthy parent or adult. He also explores the idea that change is not about being less broken, but about becoming more whole.

Embracing grace, we realized on the cross Jesus demonstrated His forgiveness of all sin for all time.  And then we come to 1 John 1:9, telling us if we confess our sin we will be forgiven.  Did Jesus single sacrifice release us from all sin for all time or didn’t it?  And this is what this episode, “Confessing Sin,” digs into.  Enjoy.   

In this weeks episode Jason and David are joined by good friend Paul Young to explore how to experience God’s presence even in the midst of life’s storms. This is a profound conversation about trust, love, and finding God “at the bottom of the boat”—a place of stillness, surrender, and clarity amid chaos.

In Part 2 of our conversation with longtime friend Paul Young, we explore what it truly means to trust a God who never leaves. Together, we unpack how faith is more than just belief, it’s learning to rest in the love and presence of Jesus, even when life feels chaotic or overwhelming. From the storms we face to the deep wounds of our past, we reflect on how God’s unchanging goodness and self-giving love can restore trust, bring peace, and transform our hearts.
