PRACTICING GRACE (February 06, 2026)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2026/02/05

And so you’ve got him “dead to rights,” as old books used to say. You’ve caught him in the lie, the theft, with poison pills he slipped into the office water cooler. There’s no way he can wriggle free from how he injured you and hurt your reputation. Now all your moral juices seethe because—for once—you have the power.This is the crucible where what we understand of grace is seen and fully known. If grace has found a home in us, it pries our fingers off the iron mace of moral superiority, of

EARLY GRATITUDE (January 30, 2026)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2026/01/29

Eyelids flutter, and we sense—more than we see—how differently light looks than when we fell exhausted into bed. Awareness jabs at everything—the too-hard pillow; the blanket thin against the chill; the shoulder sore from hours of unmoving. Awake—too soon; too late; too urgently. The undone stuff of yesterday grabs our first thoughts. Oh no! Not that! How much? How soon?And in those fitful moments, the impulse to be grateful for our lives so easily departs—chased out by hot adrenaline. Should

ENVIRONMENTAL TRUTHS (January 23, 2026)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2026/01/22

Below our deepest hurt and darkest shame, there is the grace of God—forgiving us, rebuilding us, repairing all that’s broken.Above our highest joy and most euphoric moments, there is the sheer delight of God—applauding us, encouraging, enlarging celebration. Through every stage of every journey—in trust, in fear; in faith, in doubt; in youth, in gray maturity—we’re never left alone or told to make it on our own. Despite appearances, the road is never empty. Around us each are Jesus’ everlasting

ONE HERO ONLY (January 16, 2026)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2026/01/15

One hundred years ago, the world knew all about ticker-tape parades.Returning war heroes, major politicians, and sometimes even aviators and athletes would be honored by a slow-motion ride in an open-topped limousine through the canyons of New York City’s financial district, showered by literally millions of paper fragments from stock ticker machines. It was the ultimate symbol of popular success. No wonder so many dreamed of that day when they would ride in the convertible, waving slowly to the

COUNTER-INTUITIVE GRACE (January 09, 2026)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2026/01/08

We celebrate achievement in every arena of our daily lives, and rightly so.Parents rejoiced when we first slept through the night; the first time we rolled over in the crib; when we finally tolerated the puréed squash; when we took our first tottering steps. We were congratulated for learning our numbers; mastering the alphabet; riding a bicycle; reading a sentence. People cheered when we scored the soccer goal; sank the jump shot; hit the home run. Accolades flowed if we exceeded our peers in

FORGETTING WHAT LIES BEHIND (January 02, 2026)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/12/31

A famous journalist once wrote, “The true secret of editing is to know what to place in the wastebasket.”That’s good counsel for those who seek to live in grace during 2026 as well. The secret of successful living is knowing what to throw away, what to forget, what to discard. In the desk of life from 2025 there are likely many things you’d do better to be without. Throw away the slights and the insults you received in the old year. Hanging on to them this long has already caused you to be

IRRESISTIBLE JOY (December 26, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/12/23

So here’s the greatest cause for Christmas joy—not that you deck your house with hundreds of lights or fill your home with dozens of gifts—but that the Lord of heaven and earth entered into the commonness of our lives to be our Saviour from sin and self-absorption.He’s the reason why at every Christmas a song rises from millions of redeemed men and women to mingle with the anthem of those long-ago angels—a hymn of gratitude and grace. We discover that life can be something better than a mean little

THE UNFORGETTABLE CHILD (December 19, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/12/18

Had He arrived with fanfare from some royal balcony, with heralds officiously announcing His nativity to thousands massed to hear the news, He might have changed the politics of one small corner of the world for 40, even 50, years.Had He been born in some rich villa spilling down the hillside to the sparkling Aegean, we might find passing mention of His name in annals of the empire. Had He been birthed and raised among the scholars and the gifted, all that He said and all He taught might yield a

THE POWER OF GRACE (December 12. 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/12/11

The story that brings joy and hope to billions every Christmas brings dread to those corrupted by power.The old prophecy—fulfilled in the birth of Jesus—that “unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder” (Isa 9:6)—that prophecy rattles every regime built on force, and shakes the citadels of coercion. All the armies they sent and all the dynasties they built will ultimately surrender to a Child with no earthly authority, an infant born in a shed for

DRENCHED BUT DELIGHTED (December 05, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/12/04

Come stand with me beneath the waterfall of grace.There is no waiting line, no jostling for position. There are no elbows, scornful faces, or murmured whispers of contempt. No one here will keep you from receiving what your withered spirit needs. This is the fellowship of the redeemed. This is the company of those who gladly—daily—open their parched lives to the “washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit” (Titus 3:5). Grace isn’t some scarce resource, guarded by the worthy, requiring

ALL IN A MOMENT (November 28, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/11/27

The moments that most change our lives aren’t just the big ones when we say “I do,” or land the great new job, or stand on some breathtaking peak to stare at wondrous landscapes. Quiet moments also have within them the stuff of destiny.That moment—sometimes in a crowd; more often alone—when we trust ourselves to grace—haltingly, even tentatively—becomes the pivot of our everafter. Our looming fear reminds us always of our brokenness and sin: the record of our foolishness tempts us to believe that

FINDING YOUR WINGS (November 21, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/11/20

Is there a greater joy than knowing for even one hour that you are in the center of God’s will—that through some miracle of grace, you are aligned with plans the Father made to win you back and win the hearts of those you love?Is there a better confidence than the one which every Sabbath reminds you that “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein”? Can there be a deeper security than when Christ’s word of certainty penetrates your fears and doubts

BREAKING THE CYCLE OF WORRY (November 14, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/11/13

We worry for the best of reasons, or so we tell ourselves.An unexpected bill arrives. The car won’t start. A three-year old grows feverish. Layoff slips are piling up for even long-time workers. The brooding circle of our fears goes rounding for an answer. In all those moments “in between,” we just can’t break their vast, erosive power. We want control—ours or anyone’s—to hold at bay dark outcomes that we dread. And God’s Word doesn’t chide us when we worry in our helplessness, nor urge us to

THE STRATEGY OF GRACE (November 07, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/11/06

Here’s a good word for all those self-help strategies. The websites and the bookstores are crowded with a million crafted plans for how to lose unwanted weight, get control of personal finances, or marry the person of our dreams. Millions of pounds of body fat have been shed; ten million family budgets have been strengthened and secured—and at least a handful of romances have been kindled by wise tips on what makes us more attractive. These titles tap a human ache for personal improvement, for

LIVING THE GRACE (October 31, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/10/30

You’ve heard the song a thousand times, but have you lived the words? For more than 250 years, believers have cherished the clear simplicity of “Amazing Grace.” Celebrated recordings 50 years ago by bagpipe bands and pop artists catapulted the old song to international prominence as a kind of “hymn for the world.” Millions resonate with the ache it expresses for freedom, redemption and a future. But buried in its timeless lines is a simple summary of an equally timeless Bible truth: “God sent His

GRACE HAS A FACE (October 24, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/10/23

It’s natural to think of the story of our lives as a gradually rising line of progress.We were once toddlers: now we stride—and even race—through professions and relationships. Our minds have grown acute: we’ve mastered subtlety and sarcasm, posturing and self-promotion. We’ve learned the fine art of “faking it until we make it.” But the growling in the basement grows insistent. We sense—and if we read God’s Word, we know—that He’s not deceived by the polished spiritual résumé that a dozen

FORGIVING AND FORGETTING (October 17, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/10/16

Ah, the joys of a clear conscience.Entering a room of jostling colleagues, sure you’ve spoken kindly of each one. Finishing your tax return with certainty you’ve paid each charge the law required. Walking by mouth-watering chocolates for six days straight without even opening the box. This doesn’t sound like your story? You either? The inner voice that calls to mind our secret crossings of the line is rarely ever silent. While waiting for much-needed sleep, we churn on memories we’d love to lose

A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE (October 10, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/10/09

It’s natural enough to prize what benefits me most.Self-interest is the driving force in almost all our culture. Do I like it? Does it taste good? Did it make me laugh? Does it put money in my pocket? We measure almost everything by what we get and gain. And so it’s natural to think of something as extravagant as God’s unprecedented kindness as a kind of fortunate transaction that wipes away our past and entitles us to heaven. But God’s deep kindness in sending Jesus as the bearer of our sins was

DELIGHTED BY THE MUSIC (October 03,2025

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/10/02

Have you ever listened to a dull and tired song—only to be stirred and thrilled when it reprised in some new, higher key? Then you know something of the grace of God, whatever else your story tells. Grace comes to us as unexpected joy when our performance, short or long—had lifted neither us nor anyone around us. We were muddling through the music, vocalizing rote notes and mangling the lyrics. We didn’t know a brighter, higher anthem lay hidden in the lines. But God in kindness teaches us to sing

A LONG AND GRACIOUS STORY (September 26, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/09/25

When most of what we read and see is governed by some soulless algorithm built to anger us or sell us something—it’s hard to know if joy is real, if love is kind, if gentle words are really meant to bless. And yet joy lingers, gentleness persists, and tens of millions of times a day, someone whispers “I love you” to a child, a spouse, a friend, a former enemy. This is true for both those who do not own the name of Jesus and for those who celebrate His power and love: “God’s love has been poured
