Should Christians Use Preferred Pronouns? Weekly Q&A
Today's show is pre-recorded - add questions in the live chat to be collected for future live Q&A's! Pastor David's Q&A begins with a question from viewer Jessica Wethers, who asks: "If someone at work or school demands I use their “preferred pronouns,” am I showing Christ’s love by doing so, or am I participating in a lie? How does a Christian balance grace and truth in this situation?"

Romans 1;26–27 clearly calls homosexual practices sin, yet many churches today argue that “love” is more important than truth. How do we stay faithful to Scripture without being labeled hateful, even by other Christians? Or should such labels be irrelevant, should we be eager to be rejected by the fallen world for standing on principle? 12:08 Is it a sin to be gay, or only to act on homosexual desires? 18:51 Will the Antichrist be homosexual, and where does that idea come from? 21:05 How can we help people see the difference between God’s love and the world’s “love is love”? 23:23 Are some sins worse than others in God’s eyes? 29:01 Is staying silent about biblical truth to avoid conflict a form of cowardice? 31:12 Is gender confusion just another temptation, or a deeper denial of God’s created order? 34:25 What is the Gap Theory in Genesis, and do people still teach it today? 38:05 How can someone obey God without loving Him? 40:09 In Revelation 19, who are “those invited” to the marriage supper of the Lamb if the church is the bride? 43:40 Should Christians follow the posted speed limit or the enforced one — what does the Bible say? 48:59 After the rapture, how will people come to faith during the tribulation if the Holy Spirit is “taken away”? 51:16 Why does the Bible say God wrote the Ten Commandments with His finger? 51:29 Is fasting required for Christians, or optional? 51:50 Do angels still guard believers today? 52:09 What are dominionism and the doctrine of the Seven Mountains? 53:11 What does “shake the dust off your feet” mean? 53:35 In 1 John 2:3, which commandments does John mean — the Ten Commandments or all Mosaic law? 54:59 What does Paul mean by being “baptized for the dead” in 1 Corinthians 15;29? 55:57 Can I still pray and worship while struggling to forgive? How can I forgive quickly to restore fellowship with God? 59:38 The Enduring Word 2026 Mediterranean Cruise!

Ulrich Zwingli | Reformation: Swiss-Style | Church History 89
Before Luther’s fame spread across Germany, Ulrich Zwingli was already preaching reform in Zurich—abolishing the Mass, closing monasteries, and publishing the Bible in the Swiss vernacular. His fierce debate with Martin Luther over the Lord’s Supper at the Marburg Colloquy revealed the deep divide between Luther’s consubstantiation and Zwingli’s symbolic view of Communion, a controversy that still shapes Protestant theology today. From Zurich’s city council reforms to the Battle of Kappel where Zwingli fell, the Swiss Reformation’s civic model, political alliances, and eventual union with Calvinism laid the groundwork for Reformed churches across Europe.

Leading The Lord's Supper | A "Virtual" Communion
In this short guide, Pastor David Guzik walks you through how to take communion at home with reverence and reflection. Whether you’re alone or with family, this can be a time to remember Christ’s sacrifice and draw near to Him. However, this practice is not meant to replace sharing communion together within a church family, but instead to help those unable to physically attend a shared communion honor the Lord wherever they are.

Martin Luther: Firebrand to Family Man | Church History 88
After the Diet of Worms, the fiery monk became a husband, father, and professor — yet Martin Luther’s later years were as complex and dramatic as his Reformation beginnings. From his marriage to Katharina von Bora, the runaway nun who became “My Katie,” to his translation of the Bible into German and struggles with illness, politics, and inner conflict, Luther evolved from firebrand to family man and back again. Amid joy, tragedy, and controversy—including his pastoral writings, his reflections on government after the Peasants’ War, and his troubling late attacks on his opponents—Luther’s final years reveal both the humanity and contradictions of the man who changed Christianity forever.
