The Sin of Certainty: Lessons from “Conclave” and the Complexity of Faith
It’s not a word-for-word doctrine in Scripture—but could certainty itself be sinful? That’s the bold claim made by Brother Lawrence in the Oscar-winning film Conclave. More than just stunning cinema, this moment from Ralph Fiennes’ character ignites a deep conversation about faith, doubt, and the danger of dogmatism. In this episode, we unpack one of the film’s most provocative scenes and explore what it reveals about the modern Church. We’ll hear from listeners wrestling with theological tension, gray areas in Scripture, and the unsettling (but freeing) idea that not everything is as black-and-white as we’d like it to be. Expect honest dialogue, fresh perspectives, and maybe even a little controversy. Come ready to think.

Rediscovering Jonah: When Pagans Are More Godly than God's People
Lauren and her small group are going through the late great Pastor Tim Keller's book, "Rediscovering Jonah". She guides us through some shocking themes in the book of Jonah that most people miss. Jonah is far from the hero in his own story and, even more unsettling, many of us might have something in common with him. What does Jonah have to say about how believers should behave and treat unbelievers? Is it possible unbelievers do a better job at exhibiting God's love to their neighbors than we do? And why are some Christians hesitant to partner with unbelievers in pursuit of the common good? Join us as Lauren peels back the layers on this supposedly familiar and straightforward story.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wcrfSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

God's Love for His Enemies: Reflections on Holy Week
In this heartfelt Holy Week conversation, Daria shares a personal Bible study moment centered on Romans 5:10:"While we were still God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son." What does it really mean that God loved us even when we were His enemies? And how does that shape the way we treat others? This episode explores the depth of God’s love, the power of Jesus’ sacrifice, and the way Holy Week invites us to live, love, and think differently. We also discuss: The meaning of Hosanna and the surprising history behind Palm Sunday Why Jesus' entrance on a donkey was such a bold statement What makes Good Friday services uniquely powerful The tension and quiet hope of Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday How easily we go from cheering Jesus to turning from Him—and how to stay faithful This reflective episode weaves together Scripture, history, and personal insight to help you engage more deeply with the true meaning of Easter.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wcrfSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should This Be the Christian Headline?
Daria was troubled by a billboard she saw on 77 North near Canton. The billboard issues a bold statement about the teachings of Jesus. Is the statement accurate and is it the message we want to send to a hurting world that is already skeptical of Christians? We'll also reflect on the depths of Jesus's love and His blood's coverage for a multitude of sins. Join us for a deep dive into how the church should approach evangelism, and whether harsh messages are truly effective in sharing the Gospel.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshow/wcrfSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
