BEYOND WORDS with Dr. William Campbell

Beyond the physical world is the unseen world of the spirit. The Scriptures tell us that spiritual entities, both good and evil, impact everything on earth. We are in a battle, “not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places” (Eph 6:12). Author and expert on spiritual warfare, Francis Frangipane, offers insights to help us discern the pathway to victory in the battle that rages for our souls.

What does it mean to be “seated with Christ” (Ephesians 2:6)? Heather Holleman, a professor in Penn State’s English department, pondered this concept and experienced a dramatic change in her outlook and life. Her new understanding brought her from a life of constant comparisons to a place of great confidence in the Lord. Tune in to understand what it means for you to be “seated with Christ” both Biblically and practically. It can change your life.

If you know God, you are in some manner a teacher. The way you live teaches others about God. Can you supplement your life story with the ability to teach God’s Word? For more than a decade, Glenn Brooke has been training ordinary peoples to become extraordinary teachers. Tune in to glean insights that will help you to “teach to change lives.”

How often are your prayers answered? What explanation do you have for prayers that were never answered? Has God failed you? Is the problem a lack of faith on your part? Perhaps such questions dodge the real issue. Dynamic answers to prayer are the byproduct of an intimate relationship with God. While we look for the big miracle, God is looking for our hearts. Once we surrender all to God, even the small things in our lives become opportunities for God’s glorious interventions.

Why is the Church losing its influence on culture? Is it because we no longer believe the truth enough to proclaim it? Or is the problem that we don’t show enough grace to gain a hearing for the truth? Bestselling author Randy Alcorn argues in favor of neither and both at the same time. Pointing to the example of Jesus and his disciples and lacing logic with stories from his own life, Alcorn speaks convincingly and insightfully to help us move beyond the paradox to become a people who make a difference.
