• Episode 461: Rise Like the Ant : The Gospel of GRIT - Proverb 6
    Jun 15 2025

    Tune in to learn the gospel of grit, and why king Solomon says you can find wisdom there.

    Proverbs 6:6-11

    New International Version

    6 Go to the ant, you sluggard;

    consider its ways and be wise!

    7 It has no commander,

    no overseer or ruler,

    8 yet it stores its provisions in summer

    and gathers its food at harvest.


    9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard?

    When will you get up from your sleep?

    10 A little sleep, a little slumber,

    a little folding of the hands to rest—

    11 and poverty will come on you like a thief

    and scarcity like an armed man.

  • Episode 458: Why Did God Create Us to Rebel?
    May 20 2025

    Why would a good God create us knowing we'd rebel, and allow so much suffering in the world? Join me, Ruben Cuevas on "Gathering Strength" as we tackle this raw, essential question head-on, moving beyond easy answers to uncover profound biblical truth.

    Here's what you'll learn by tuning in:

    * The profound reason God values freedom over control, even at the cost of pain.

    * How suffering acts as a divine forge, building unbreakable character.

    * Why God entered our pain, rather than remaining distant from it.
