We pay attention when people walk through the front doors of the church, but what about the ones who quietly walk out the back? Dr. Tony Evans reminds us that our responsibility doesn’t end when someone drifts away and explains how believers can help restore those who have wandered from the faith.
Patience is easier when you know the finish line is just ahead. But when the struggle seems to have no end, waiting on God can be hard. Dr. Tony Evans explains how to remain faithful when the waiting stretches on and life continues to test our patience.

Money can buy a lot of things, but whatever happiness it brings doesn’t last. Dr. Tony Evans points us toward a deeper kind of fulfillment and explains why putting our confidence in earthly riches can never provide the lasting security that comes from investing our lives in God’s Kingdom.
The old saying goes, “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.” But even good plans can lead to disappointment if they leave God out. Dr. Tony Evans explains how to make plans with the right perspective and why our future ultimately belongs in God’s hands.
We spend a lot of time pursuing the things we think will make us happy, but pursuit alone doesn’t guarantee fulfillment. Dr. Tony Evans explains how drawing closer to God changes our priorities and helps us discover the joy and satisfaction that come from seeking Him first.
You can’t have an intimate relationship with God while giving your heart to the world. Dr. Tony Evans explores the danger of divided loyalties and explains how worldly desires can interfere with our spiritual lives and keep our relationship with God from being where it belongs.
Wisdom is more than knowledge. It’s understanding how to apply what you know to real-life situations. Dr. Tony Evans explores the difference between earthly and godly wisdom and explains how true wisdom gives us a refreshing new perspective on the choices we face.
The words we speak can bring healing, hope and encouragement, but they can also be incredibly destructive. Dr. Tony Evans explains why controlling what we say is so important and how the condition of our hearts can ultimately shape the words that come out of our mouths.
The question is as old as the Bible itself: if we’re saved by faith alone, what difference does it make what we do? Dr. Tony Evans tackles the question of why our actions matter and explains what genuine, growing faith looks like when it’s put into practice.
There’s a problem in the church that can be easy to overlook, especially when we don’t want to admit it’s there. Dr. Tony Evans brings the issue of partiality into the open and challenges us to examine whether we’re treating others with the fairness and love God calls us to show.
Doing the right things doesn’t necessarily mean our hearts are in the right place. Dr. Tony Evans looks beneath our outward actions to examine what should really motivate the way we live and serve, revealing what genuine faith and pure devotion to God should look like.
You can read the Bible from cover to cover and still miss what God wants to say to you. Dr. Tony Evans explains how to move beyond simply reading Scripture and begin putting God’s Word into practice so that its truth comes alive in your everyday life.
Trials and temptations are part of life, but the choices we make in those moments can have lasting consequences. Dr. Tony Evans explains where temptation comes from, the price of giving in, and how we can stand strong when the opportunity to compromise comes our way.
Are the tough times in your life going to take you apart or put you back together better than ever? Dr. Tony Evans explains that even in the midst of painful circumstances, God has a purpose for our trials and can use them to develop stronger, more mature faith.
It can be refreshing to talk to somebody who skips all the small talk, gets straight to the point, and tells the truth. Dr. Tony Evans explains how that describes the apostle James and introduces the practical spiritual truths his letter teaches about growing into mature faith.
When we can’t see where we’re going, we’re forced to trust God for guidance. Dr. Tony Evans explains why some of our greatest lessons of faith are learned in the dark and why we can confidently trust God with both our calling and our future.
Each of us has a custom-designed calling from God. Too often, though, we miss it because we’re busy telling God why we’re not qualified. Dr. Tony Evans uses the experience of Moses to explain how God develops and prepares us for the purpose He has designed for our lives.
The truth is, your calling from God may not always thrill you. Dr. Tony Evans examines the tension between selfishness and submission and explains why obedience is essential to fulfilling God’s purpose, even when His direction takes us somewhere we would rather not go.
Everybody hopes to find their dream job. But if yours feels more like a nightmare, there’s still hope. Dr. Tony Evans explains how turning your career over to Christ can give you a new vision for your vocation and help you see your work as part of a greater calling.
