Where does faith really come from? Romans 10:17 gives us the answer: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” In this episode, Stephen unpacks how faith isn’t something we produce on our own—it’s sparked and strengthened as we hear God’s Word. You’ll hear: Why hearing the gospel is the fuel that feeds our faith Biblical examples like the woman with the issue of blood and the Roman centurion, whose faith began with what they heard about Jesus How to guard what you’re listening to so your faith grows instead of weakens A practical challenge to add one more moment of God’s Word into your daily routine this week If you’ve ever wondered how to grow stronger in your faith, this episode will show you the power of keeping your ears and heart tuned to God’s Word.
In this episode of Faith in Five, Stephen unpacks one of the most powerful verses on faith—Hebrews 11:1: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” We’ll explore why faith is the foundation of the Christian life, how the “Hall of Faith” heroes like Abraham, Noah, and Moses lived it out, and why faith is always active—moving us beyond comfort into obedience. If you’re waiting on answers, looking for direction, or struggling with uncertainty, this message will encourage you to walk by faith and not by sight. Be challenged to take one bold step this week that requires you to fully trust God, believing that His promises are sure.
In this episode, Stephen unpacks Proverbs 3:5–6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” We’ll talk about why trust is the foundation of our relationship with God, what it really means to stop leaning on our own wisdom, and how acknowledging Him in every decision brings clarity and direction. Whether you’re facing tough choices about your future, finances, or relationships, this message will encourage you to surrender control and let God lead your path. Tune in and be reminded: trusting God fully isn’t just a verse—it’s a way of life.
In this episode, Stephen unpacks 1 Timothy 4:12 and the call for young believers to live as bold witnesses for Christ. From biblical examples of youth God used powerfully to practical guidance on being an example in word, conduct, love, spirit, faith, and purity—this short devotional will encourage and equip you to share the gospel with confidence, no matter your age.
