Question: Dr. Tony, I’m a new Christian, and I have many questions about Jesus. Some of the stuff I’m learning is difficult to understand and believe. Some of my questions are: was Jesus even real, or what was He like on earth? I heard He was a Jewish rabbi. Is that true? Who did Jesus[…]
“How do you do it?” I asked. “Do what?” she replied. “How do you put your foot down sometimes and just say no?” My co-worker, Ms. Anderson, smiled and said, “I just had to learn to say no. I used to feel so guilty when I said it, but I had to learn to be[…]

All the lessons you need for your life are hidden within your experiences, you just have to take the time to examine them. When you look closely, you’ll begin to see that every failure, disappointment, or detour carries the seeds of future success. The key is learning from what life teaches you. I once met[…]
There’s no denying it—our culture has a distorted view of work. Some people see it as a necessary evil, others as a pathway to self-worth, and many as something to simply endure until the weekend arrives. Yet, Scripture calls us to a higher standard—one that transforms how we view every task, every meeting, and every[…]
Yesterday, I allowed someone I love and respect to make me feel like a useless piece of garbage. Because this person means so much to me, their words hit harder than I expected—they pierced through every layer of confidence I had built. Maybe you’ve been there too: hurt by someone who was supposed to be[…]
