Pastor Tom Roepke joined Heartfelt Mornings with Mark Zimmerman and Burchon English for what was a cracking conversation.

The focus was from when President Trump quipped on Fox News’ *Fox & Friends* that brokering peace between Russia and Ukraine might just nudge him up the celestial totem pole—his words, “I want to try and get to heaven if possible… really at the bottom of the totem pole!” (August 19, 2025)—he flung the door wide open for a proper theological chinwag.

Sometimes it's easy to sing about God's faithfulness, but much harder to actually trust in it.

In a world that pulls us in a million different directions, how can we truly find rest in Him?

This week, in our series called Book Club, we're diving into that tension and exploring what it means to find peace in God's promises, even when trusting feels like the last thing you want to do.

What if we've been fighting the wrong battles?

In every great story, there's a villain—something or someone standing in the way of the hero. But in our own lives, we often misidentify that villain, blaming people, circumstances, or bad habits.

As we continue our "Book Club" series, Jonathan helps us uncover the real villain in our story and shows us the ultimate power we have to overcome.

Got Rhythms of a Healthy Soul ? It's Week 4 of our "Is That in the Bible?" series.

Today, we're diving into "Rhythms of a Healthy Soul."

Are you facing the pressures of control, anxiety, or the need to constantly perform. Today we'll uncover critical insights from the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10:38-42.

Discover how good intentions can sometimes distract us from what's best, the importance of tending to our own souls while serving others, and why work without worship leads to weariness. We'll examine what happens when we lose our initial "why" and begin to drift off course.

Life can be different with Jesus' gentle invitation to Martha, revealing the singular focus that brings true rest and meaning.

What happens when the miracle you're praying for doesn't come in the way you expect? In this third part of our "Is That in the Bible?" series, filmed at The Chosen set, we're diving into "The Miracle You Never Saw Coming."

This week, we explore a profound conversation between Jesus and Little James from The Chosen Season 3, Episode 2 – “Two by Two.”

If you've ever felt disappointed when a prayer for healing seemed unanswered, you're not alone.

We'll unpack why it's crucial to acknowledge pain, and how to hold onto faith even in suffering. Discover how "pain has a problem," revealing "treasures of darkness" that God unveils in our hardest seasons. Most importantly, we'll learn that "pain is not your problem" when your life belongs to God, and how sometimes, the greatest mountain God moves is within your own heart. Join us to consider how to find sustaining grace when a dramatic miracle isn't the answer, and how God can use your pain to impact others. This message will encourage you to lean into weakness and experience God's strength.

Join us as we uncover crucial steps to overcoming life's obstacles, including how to identify false assumptions, ask challenging questions, discern the right voices to listen to, find the courage to do scary things, and make choices that lead to freedom.

No matter what's holding your heart down, in Jesus' name, you can get off the ground! We'll even tackle some fascinating textual variations in the biblical account, showing how they actually strengthen our trust in the New Testament's historicity.
