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.

Sanctifying Grace
In this episode of the Biblical Counseling Podcast, Pastor Jeff Christianson speaks to pastors, ministry leaders, and biblical counseling students about sanctifying grace — the grace of God at work in the believer’s daily growth in Christ.
Many Christians understand grace for salvation, but still try to live the Christian life through self-effort, pressure, or performance. Pastor Jeff opens passages such as 2 Peter 3:18, Acts 20:32, Hebrews 13:9, and 2 Timothy 2:1 to show that the same grace that saves us is the grace that strengthens us, establishes the heart, and matures us in Christ.
If you are shepherding others, training in biblical counseling, or learning how to care for souls in a more Christ-centered way, this episode will help you better understand how steady spiritual growth happens.

Do Not Be Taken Captive by Empty PhilosophyÂ
Psychology has had a heavy impact on American culture for decades. Then, through the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, it steadily crept into the church. Today, it has a deep foothold in the church. And I want to say this carefully, but plainly: one of the most subtle forms of heresy to ever hit the American church is psychological theory being absorbed into Christian ministry as if it were neutral, safe, and compatible with the faith.
Not because every observation made by anyone in the field is false. Not because the body doesn’t matter. Not because Christians have never been helped by conversations with professionals. But because the most dangerous part of psychology is the part that claims to explain what man is, why man is the way he is, and how man changes. That’s not lab science. That’s not medicine. That’s a philosophy of life—and very often, a rival religion.
My Journey into Biblical Counseling
Many people know the International Association of Biblical Counselors (IABC), but fewer know the personal story behind how I came to love and serve this ministry. As the current Board President and Executive Director, I wanted to take a moment to share a bit of my journey — not to spotlight myself, but to invite a conversation with those who care deeply about Christ-centered, Scripture-sufficient soul care.Â
If you’ve ever wondered where IABC fits historically, or if you share a desire to “return to the Word,” I invite you to listen and join the conversation.
“Preach the word… fulfill your ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:2–5)

The Whole Counsel of God
In today’s world, many people only hear part of God’s Word, but God has given us the full picture. Why do pastors choose to preach through the entire Bible? Because every part of Scripture is important for our faith and growth.
In this episode, Pastor Jeff explores why it’s so vital to teach the whole Bible. From Paul’s example of faithfully teaching “the whole counsel of God” (Acts 20:27) to Ezra’s careful reading and explaining of Scripture (Nehemiah 8:8), we learn that a healthy church is built on all of God’s truth, not just parts of it.
If you want to grow in your faith and have a deeper understanding of God’s Word, this episode will encourage you to embrace the whole Bible. It’s time for the church to hear the full counsel of God.

Knowing Christ Our Greatest Priority
What’s the #1 priority in your life—and what does your answer reveal about what truly motivates you?
In this two-part teaching through Philippians 3:7–14, Pastor Jeff Christianson calls us back to the highest priority of the Christian life: knowing God. The apostle Paul says everything else becomes “loss” compared to “the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8).
In this episode, we unpack why knowing the Lord is the supreme treasure, how we come to the Father only through the righteousness of Christ, and why real discipleship always flows from abiding—never from anxious busy-ness.
This teaching is a fresh call to count all things loss, lay hold of Christ, forget what lies behind, and press toward the upward call—so we can live a visibly resurrected life in a dead world. Â
