  • Are There Other Gods?

    Are There Other Gods?
    2026/08/18

    Are there other gods, or is there only one true God?

    In this episode, Cindy Grasso explores why the Bible frequently mentions other gods, idols, and spiritual powers while clearly teaching that the Lord alone is God. She explains that the “other gods” described in Scripture are not equal divine beings competing with God. They are often human-made idols, false objects of worship, or spiritual forces that distract people from the Creator.

    But idolatry is not only an ancient problem. We may not bow before statues, yet money, success, relationships, comfort, politics, influence, and even ministry can quietly take God’s place in our hearts. Anything we trust to provide the identity, security, or fulfillment that only God can give can become an idol.

    This episode invites us to honestly examine what occupies the throne of our hearts and return to the freedom of worshiping the one true God. Jesus did not merely come to tell us about God; He came to reveal Him and invite us into a personal relationship with the Father.

    What is the Biblical Definition of Gossip?
    2026/07/21

She offers practical wisdom for protecting relationships, honoring others with our words, and becoming people who build others up instead of tearing them down.

    It's one of the most common phrases in the Christian life—and one of the hardest to live out. In this episode, Cindy explores what biblical trust actually looks like, why it's so difficult, and how we can learn to trust God when life doesn't make sense.

    Drawing from passages like Psalm 20, Psalm 56, Isaiah 26, Jeremiah 17, and Isaiah 12, Cindy shares both biblical wisdom and personal experience from more than three decades of walking with Jesus. She explains why trust isn't about having all the answers or controlling the outcome—it's about placing our confidence in God's unchanging character.

    Whether you're facing uncertainty, grief, financial pressure, a difficult relationship, or simply struggling to surrender control, this conversation will encourage you to take your next step of faith and discover the peace that comes from trusting God.

    If you've never placed your trust in Jesus, this episode also includes a simple invitation to begin a relationship with Him.

  • Bitterness & Resentment

    Bitterness & Resentment
    2026/06/30

    Bitterness rarely begins with anger, it usually begins with a wound.

    In this episode, Cindy explores what the Bible says about bitterness, resentment, and forgiveness through passages like 1 John 3, Hebrews 12, and Ephesians 4. Looking at the story of Cain and Abel, she explains how comparison, jealousy, and unresolved hurt can quietly take root in our hearts if left unchecked.

    You'll discover why forgiveness isn't pretending the hurt didn't happen, why only God's love can truly heal our deepest wounds, and how releasing bitterness opens the door to the freedom Christ desires for us.

    If you're carrying disappointment, resentment, or pain from the past, this episode offers biblical wisdom, practical encouragement, and the hope of healing.
