How Grief Revealed God's Presence and Strengthened My Faith

My faith has been challenged over the years with the loss of my mother in 2017, and I found that what I thought was a fickle faith and an unstable relationship with God was just my faith being challenged in ways that I hadn't imagined before. I can now say years later, my faith is stronger than ever, and thanks to my mom for that. She left a legacy of love, hope, and light, which she built on her relationship with God and her belief in Heaven.

Red Sea: The Impossible Escape That Built a Nation

Red Sea: The Impossible Escape That Built a Nation Trapped between an impossible situation and an unstoppable enemy, the Israelites faced the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army closing in—but God had a plan. In this episode, Sammy Tippit explores the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea and the timeless lesson it teaches: when we stand still in faith, God fights our battles in ways we can’t imagine. Witness God’s power, provision, and the worship that follows true deliverance, and learn how He can do the same in your life today.

The Exodus Departure: Israel Walks Out of Egypt

When God calls you to step out in faith, are you ready to move? In this episode, Sammy Tippit shares how Israel’s exodus from Egypt—and a personal story of bold faith behind the Iron Curtain—reveal that God always keeps His promises. Though the path may seem uncertain, God’s guidance, provision, and glory become evident when we trust and obey. The same God who delivered Israel with a mighty hand still delivers His people today.

How a Childhood Dream Led Me Straight into the Arms of Jesus

My journey started when I was about seven years old.

My best friend's dad was our pastor, and he talked to us girls and told us that we were lost. Well, I didn't understand what that meant as a seven-year-old, but it got me to thinking because up until that time, I just thought people went to heaven because they were good and the bad people went to, well, you know, that other place that kids aren't supposed to talk about. But then when he told us that, it got me thinking about it.

Why I Follow Jesus Every Day

The Promise That Keeps Me Following Jesus Every Day

Here's why I'm a Christian and always will be. The first time I ever walked into a church, at least that I remember, I was around 11 years old, and it was actually the first time I had ever heard somebody talking about their relationship with Jesus. Believe it or not, the guy speaking at that church that day was somebody named Rick Stanley. I don't know where he is now. I don't know what he's doing with his life now, but at the time, he was Elvis Presley's stepbrother.

Passover: Blood on the Door and Freedom for Israel

One night changed everything. In this episode, Sammy Tippit walks through the final plague and the first Passover—a night that brought both judgment and deliverance. Pharaoh’s heart remains hard, but God’s plan of salvation shines through the blood of the lamb on every Israelite home. This powerful moment foreshadows Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb, whose sacrifice delivers us from spiritual death. Even in the darkest night, God provides light, protection, and freedom for His people.

Michael Jr. Explains Why This One Question Will Transform Your Entire Perspective

Michael Jr. explained why this one question will transform your entire perspective. The funnyman pointed out a simple yet powerful question that most people rarely, if ever, consider. Watch the short but insightful clip to hear Michael Jr. discuss this question and why it can make such a difference.

Life is not a fair experience most of the time. Anyone who says or believes otherwise is incredibly naïve and only fooling themselves. At some point, those people will be in for a rude awakening. Nasty, horrible and heartbreaking situations do occur. To make them even worse, they often happen without a moment’s notice.

During these moments of pain, suffering and heartache, people tend to ask a lot of questions of themselves and others. They seek many answers. Some of those questions will be answered, but most will go unanswered. That can be a hard pill to digest for many, but the fact is that it’s only through this process, of asking questions and seeking answers, that anything ever changes.

In a clip posted on social media, Michael Jr. mentioned a question that most people consider or even think about, but when they do, their entire perspective can and likely will change. Pondering this question will give people a sense of purpose in life and not leave them feeling as if they are going through the emotions.

He mentioned that everyone, especially kids, is asked what they want to do when they grow up. But if you probe a little further and ask, well, why do you want to do this or that, he says it will often come back to money. But that kind of a mindset will leave people unfulfilled.

“Here’s the question you want to ask instead,” he said. “This question is so much better. Ask the question, ‘Who do I want to serve?’ And I’m not saying in some spiritual way, but it just fits that way as well. But when you ask the question, 'Who do I want to serve?' It changes everything.”

Later in the clip, he said he had this revelation while talking to a mechanic who said he does not fix cars but serves and helps people get to their destination.

“So, if you focus on the people, it’ll, it’ll put your alarm clock out of business,” he added.

Philippians 2:3 “Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self, let everyone take others to be better than himself.”

From Hail to Locusts: Crisis That Built Faith

What causes one person to grow stronger in faith while another becomes more resistant to God? In this episode, Sammy Tippit explores the deep contrast between Moses and Pharaoh. As the plagues of hail and locusts strike Egypt, Moses grows in confidence and obedience, while Pharaoh hardens his heart even more. Through their stories, we see how our choices shape our hearts, our character, and our future. God’s power, justice, and mercy are on full display—revealing that every moment of obedience builds strength, and every act of resistance deepens hardness.

Why Pharaoh’s Heart Kept Hardening

Do you ever feel like your spiritual battles never seem to end? In this episode, Sammy Tippit continues the story of Moses and Pharaoh, showing how faith and perseverance are forged in long struggles. As the plagues intensify, Pharaoh’s pride grows harder—but Moses keeps standing firm in obedience to God.

When It’s Not Too Late for God to Use You

Do you ever feel like your best years are behind you? In this episode, Sammy Tippit looks at how God used an 80-year-old Moses to lead one of the greatest spiritual battles in history. As the plagues begin in Egypt, we see God’s unmatched power, Pharaoh’s hardening heart, and a powerful reminder that it’s never too late for God to work through you.

Exodus 5–6 Explained: When Obedience Gets Harder

Ever feel like doing the right thing only makes things worse? In this episode, Sammy Tippit explores Moses’ early struggles as he obeys God’s call to confront Pharaoh. The Israelites’ workload doubles, discouragement spreads, and Moses himself questions God’s plan.

When God’s Call Involves Your Family

When God calls, He often calls more than just us—He calls our families too. In this episode, Sammy Tippit explores Moses’ return to Egypt with his wife and children, the miraculous signs God gave him, and the obstacles he faced from Pharaoh.

When God Calls the Inadequate

When God calls you, He also equips you. In this episode, Sammy Tippit unpacks the moment when Moses, feeling completely inadequate, learns that God’s power is more than enough. From the burning bush to the miraculous signs, God shows Moses—and us—that He uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

The Fire That Wouldn’t Burn Out

Every great leader has a defining moment—and for Moses, it came through a burning bush that refused to burn out.
