This podcast also serves Biblical Counseling students and ministry leaders in the Calvary Chapel family of ministries.
In a world overflowing with voices promising wisdom, healing, and direction, there is only One whose counsel is perfect, eternal, and sufficient — the Lord Jesus Christ, the Wonderful Counselor foretold by the prophet Isaiah centuries before His coming (Isaiah 9:6).
In this episode, Pastor Jeff Christianson talks about one of the most urgent conversations happening in the Body of Christ today: Who is truly counseling God's people? As biblical counselors and shepherds of souls, we must ask ourselves whether we are pointing people to the living Christ and the life-giving truth of His Word — or whether we have quietly allowed the philosophies of this world to creep into the sacred ministry of care and counsel.
This episode is a call to return — to return to the sufficiency of Scripture, to the person and work of the Holy Spirit, and to Jesus Christ Himself, in whom "are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3). Biblical counseling is not a clinical practice. It is a mutual, Spirit-led ministry within the family of God, where believers walk alongside one another, wielding the Word as a lamp, and trusting the Lord to do what only He can do in a broken and hurting soul.
Whether you serve in ministry or simply desire to care for others biblically, these insights will deepen your understanding, strengthen your faith, and remind you that true hope and wisdom are found in Christ and His Word alone.

278: Evil King Manasseh Finds Grace

The Story of King Manasseh
2 Chronicles 33:1-20
The Mighty Grace of God
King Manasseh is one of the clearest pictures in Scripture of how powerful the grace of God really is.
When a man finally humbles himself before the Lord, grace meets him there.
Manasseh had gone far into sin, rebellion, and darkness. But when he was brought low, he looked to God as his only remedy. That is humility. That is faith. And the Lord answered him with mercy.
Where there is true humility before God, wonderful grace flows from the heart of God.
And notice this—God's grace did more than simply rescue him from bondage. Grace began to transform him.
Manasseh didn't just say, "Thank You, Lord."
He started cleaning house.
He removed the idols.
He cast out what dishonored God.
He repaired the altar of the Lord.
He offered peace offerings and thank offerings.
And he called others to serve the Lord God of Israel.
That is what grace does.
Grace restores. Grace changes. Grace cleans up what sin tore down.
This story is not just about a wicked king.
It is about the mighty grace of God poured out on the humble.
"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
— James 4:6 (NKJV)
If you are low today, broken today, or waking up to the damage sin has done—do not run from God.
Humble yourself before Him.
There is still grace.
And His grace is mighty.

277: Resurrection: God Saves
You're invited to listen to a powerful message from Pastor Jeff Christianson:
"Resurrection: God Saves"
Jesus asked a question that still echoes today:
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live… Do you believe this?" (John 11:25–26)
This podcast explores the heart of the Christian faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus is alive, everything changes. Hope is real. Sin is forgiven. Eternal life is possible.
In this message, you'll discover:
• What the resurrection truly means (and what it doesn't)
• The compelling biblical evidence for Jesus' resurrection
• How the resurrection impacts your life today—and your eternity
The resurrection isn't just a historical claim—it's a life-altering truth that demands a response.
Take time to listen, reflect, and consider the question Jesus asks each of us:
Do you believe this?
🎧 Listen now and be encouraged, challenged, and renewed in hope.
