God’s people have never been perfect. Scripture gives us an honest look at people who struggled with sin, made poor choices, turned away from God, and sometimes struggled to remain faithful. And yet, through it all, God remained faithful to his promises.
In this episode of Faith Footnotes, we talk with Pastor Nate Scharf, one of the four brothers who wrote Faithful God, Flawed Followers, part of the People’s Bible Devotions series. The book takes readers through 1 and 2 Kings, 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, exploring the lives of flawed people and the faithfulness of God. We talk with Nate about our own struggles with sin, why we continue to battle sins we know will be part of our lives in this world, and what we can learn from the people God worked through.
We also consider what happens when the shortcomings of other Christians—or even pastors and church leaders—hurt or disappoint us. How can we acknowledge those shortcomings without becoming cynical or losing sight of God’s promises?
Join us as we look at how the stories of God’s people can help us recognize our own weaknesses, grow in faith, and live faithfully as we follow Christ.

Relationships in a Smartphone World
Smartphones and technology have changed the way we communicate, learn, and spend time together. In this episode of Faith Footnotes, we talk with teacher, mother of four, and author Amy Vannieuwenhoven about Christian parenting, technology, and how families can protect the relationships God has given them in a smartphone world.
Amy is the author of Look Up From Your Phone So I Can Love You, an interactive journal that helps parents and children have meaningful conversations about smartphones, social media, and healthy technology habits. Drawing from her experience as an educator and parent, Amy shares practical encouragement for families navigating screen time, phone boundaries, and the challenge of staying connected.
We discuss how technology has changed since Amy wrote her book, why parents' own smartphone habits matter, and how Christians can use technology as a blessing without allowing it to interfere with their relationships. Listen as we explore how families can look up from their screens and focus on the people God has placed in their lives.
