About this listen

We all have opinions but it's more important to know what God thinks.

And we have our own but more importantly, we know the One who has all of the answers. And His opinion is really the only one that matters.

Each week Jay and Tom tackle life issues and provide Biblical answers that can strengthen your walk and your talk.

If you're a person of faith, they're here to encourage and equip you to "really believe what you say you believe is really real."

If you're not a person of faith, our podcast can provide some answers to questions you may have about why people of faith believe what they believe.

Jay Scribner was the lead pastor of Branson's First Baptist Church for over 25 years, ministered in many countries overseas, is author of the book "Jesus Follower: Beyond Belief, and heads the ministry Hope For America.

Tom Johnson is the worship minister at his fellowship, was in the entertainment business for over 30 years, and authors the daily blog "Derf Nerfel's Thought of the Day."

Together, they share from both life and ministry experience to bring encouragement and insight through this 30 minute weekly broadcast.

  • Unexplained Phenomena in the Bible - Did the sun really stand still?
    Apr 17 2026

    Skeptics will be skeptics. And it's a bit understandable when you walk through the Bible and encounter these incredible events that happen that defy logic.

    A world-wide flood, donkey speaking, seas and rivers part, ax heads float, hungry lions lose their appetite, flames burn ropes but not skin, quail and manna to feed millions, dead being raised, and a four to six inch thick curtain rips from the top to the bottom: A bit difficult to imagine.

    Yeah, there's a lot of head scratching about Biblical occurrences until you put it all in the perspective that the God of time, space, and matter can do anything He chooses.

    And especially when He wants to reveal Himself.

    These aren't fairy tales or historical fiction but instances where the Father works within His creation in His love and power.

    We can accept the unexplainable when it comes to trusting Him. If He put the stars in their places and knows the number of hairs on your head, we can rely on His Word.

  • Convenient, Casual, Carnal, Compromised Christianity - A contradiction of terms
    Apr 10 2026

    Milk.

    We all start out drinking it. Babies need this great nutrition to eventually grow into mature, healthy adults. However, we can't live on just milk; physically or spiritually. Otherwise we just end up as "fat babies."

    In this podcast, we break down four walks of spiritual life that contradict being a true follower of Jesus Christ. It really does go "Beyond Belief." And it's time we take spiritual inventory to see of any of the following characterize our spiritual lives.

    Convenient, Casual, Carnal, and Compromised.

    These are four words that should never describe our walk with the Lord. W

    Now, we're not here to point fingers or put people's faith under a microscope. But we do want to point out pitfalls of faithlessness that the Holy Spirit can convict us of and lead us into truth.

  • Guarding a Tomb - What could go wrong?
    Apr 3 2026

    Resurrection Sunday is an incredible celebration day for believers. It's even more significant than the Incarnation...and that's a big deal.

    In this podcast, we look at some of the things people might not consider with just a cursory glimpse at the Biblical account of our Savior's rising from teh dead.

    - Were the soldiers at the tomb Roman or Jews?

    - Why didn't Jesus die in the horrendous process of His beatings, trials, and crucifixion?

    - How do we know Jesus didn't just "swoon" and walk out of the tomb? Did He really and truly die?

    - Just how much evidence do we have of the resurrection?

    It's a time of both celebration and humility that Jesus Christ would become sin for us so that we can be reconciled to the Father. This was God's plan all along and, when the time was exactly right, He sent His Son to fulfill everything that was prophesied about Him throughout the Old Testament.

    Guard at a cemetery? No problem...right?
