What changes when you stop defining yourself by your failures and begin seeing yourself as God sees you?

On this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes Tom Anderson, author of From Sinnership to Sonship: The Story of Becoming. Tom shares how God transformed his marriage, deepened his faith, and led him from feelings of inadequacy into the security of biblical sonship.

Drawing from the lives of Adam, Abraham, and Peter, Tom explains why spiritual transformation is a journey. Abraham began as a man who believed in God but struggled to believe what God said about him. Through waiting, testing, surrender, and “hoping against hope,” Abraham grew into his God-given identity.

You will discover:

• What Tom means by the “I am not” mentality of sinnership
• How sonship provides worth, significance, and spiritual security
• Why God often sends a word before meeting a need
• How God used Isaiah 43:18–19 to bring restoration to Tom’s marriage
• What Adam’s garden teaches us about purpose, service, and stewardship
• Why your marriage, family, workplace, and relationships are gardens entrusted to your care
• How Abraham’s journey illustrates believing, hoping, surrendering, and becoming
• Why trials may be part of God’s process of teaching you to trust Him
• How knowing you are loved by the Father changes the way you live and serve

Your identity is not based upon your achievements, possessions, position, or past failures. In Christ, you are called, loved, and kept. God is inviting you to move beyond striving and rest securely in your identity as His beloved son or daughter.

Isaiah 43:18–19; Genesis 1–2; Genesis 15; Genesis 22; Psalm 139; Romans 4; 2 Corinthians 5:20; Jude 1

Waiting is rarely comfortable—but it is often where God accomplishes His deepest work within us.

Joshua Spatha returns to Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast for a timely conversation with host T.S. Wright about navigating seasons of transition, uncertainty, and spiritual preparation. Using the disciples’ journey between Christ’s resurrection and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, they explore what God may be doing when His promises seem delayed.

The disciples moved from questions and doubt to proclaiming Christ with extraordinary power and conviction. What happened during the time between those two spiritual milestones? They waited, prayed, obeyed Christ’s instructions, and allowed God to prepare them for what was coming.

Joshua and T.S. explain why waiting seasons are not wasted seasons. God uses them to deepen our roots, mature our faith, test our motives, and develop the character required to sustain the calling He has placed upon our lives.

In this episode, you will discover:

• Why God frequently prepares His people through seasons of waiting
• How the disciples moved from uncertainty to Pentecostal power
• Why immediate gratification works against patience and spiritual maturity
• How comparison, pride, and selfish ambition create discontentment
• The difference between doing something “for God” and walking obediently with God
• Why believers must surrender their plans, timing, and personal agendas
• How to remain faithful when God appears silent
• Why every breakthrough may lead to another season of preparation

The Christian life is not about forcing doors open and then asking God to bless our decisions. It is about daily surrender—trusting God’s goodness, obeying His direction, and allowing Him to receive all the glory.

Scriptures and biblical themes discussed include Matthew 28, Acts 1–2, Philippians 2, perseverance, contentment, dying to self, the Great Commission, and the Day of Pentecost.

Now go forth in total surrender to the One who owns and reigns over all creation—and let the great harvest begin!

Does the Old Testament foreshadow the coming of Jesus Christ?

In this episode of Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, T.S. Wright welcomes author and Bible teacher Mark Stouffer for a thoughtful examination of the Tanakh, Messianic prophecy, and God’s unfolding plan to rescue humanity.

Mark begins by sharing his personal testimony. While studying engineering at Ohio State, he repeatedly felt God drawing him—but believed he was too busy to respond. After graduation left him without a job and with plenty of time, God met him in a powerful and unmistakable way. That encounter led Mark to the Bible, faith in Jesus Christ, and more than four decades of biblical study and teaching.

Mark also introduces his four-volume series, The Loving-kindness of G-d, written for Jewish readers seeking the truth about Jesus and Christians wanting a deeper understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures.

TS and Mark discuss:

• How the Hebrew word hesed reveals God’s unfailing love, kindness, and grace

• The Day of Atonement and the meaning of sacrificial blood

• How the Torah’s sacrificial system may foreshadow Christ’s death on the cross

• The holiness of God and the seriousness of humanity’s sin

• Why spiritual rebirth is necessary

• God’s rescue plan from Genesis through the return of Christ

• The promise that Eve’s descendant would crush the serpent

• Israel’s calling to reveal the one true God to the nations

• Jonah, Nineveh, and God’s love for the Gentiles

• Messianic prophecy and whether Jesus fulfills the Tanakh’s description of the Messiah

• Lessons from Jewish history and nearly two thousand years of Church history

Mark’s books include:

• Hesed: Does the Tanakh Foreshadow Jesus?

• The Mashiah: A Study of the Messianic Prophecies

• The Esa: G-d’s Rescue Plan for Humanity

• The Tanakh: Its Unusual Ending

How can the words we speak either strengthen or slowly weaken a marriage?

Lori Yarbrough returns to Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to explore the biblical instruction, “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt” (Colossians 4:6). Drawing from more than 40 years of marriage, Lori explains how gracious communication can preserve trust, add warmth, purify conflict, and promote healing between husbands and wives.

Lori and host TS Wright discuss the power of the tongue, the importance of listening before responding, and why speaking truth in love does not require avoiding difficult conversations. They also examine how criticism, sarcasm, public embarrassment, unresolved resentment, and careless words can create wounds that last for years.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why your words carry the power to build, heal, wound, or destroy

• What it means to season your speech with salt

• How gracious words preserve trust, intimacy, and unity

• How to address conflict without attacking your spouse

• Why listening is essential to healthy communication

• How prayer can change the atmosphere of a marriage

• Why forgiveness does not allow hurt to have the final word

• Four questions to ask before speaking

• A practical seven-day challenge for strengthening your marriage

Lori challenges every listener to spend seven days intentionally speaking a blessing, offering a sincere compliment, expressing gratitude, praying for their spouse, and avoiding one unnecessary criticism each day.

Healthy marriages are not built through one dramatic conversation. They are strengthened through thousands of grace-filled conversations shaped by the Holy Spirit.

Scriptures discussed include Colossians 4:6, Proverbs 18:21, Ephesians 4:15 and 4:29, James 1:19 and chapter 3, and Proverbs 15:1.
