Truth for Today with Terry Fant

How should followers of Jesus respond when adversity comes?
In this episode of Truth For Today with Terry Fant, Terry continues the Persevering Through Adversity series by exploring the biblical “rules of engagement” found in Nehemiah 4. When opposition arises, our instinct is often to react, defend ourselves, or fight back. But Nehemiah shows us a better way.
Whether you’re facing conflict, criticism, spiritual opposition, or a difficult season of life, this episode will encourage you to respond with faith, prayer, and unwavering trust in God.

The Christian life isn’t a playground. It’s a battlefield. But as believers, we’re not fighting for victory; we’re fighting from the victory Jesus has already won.
In this episode, we explore one of Satan’s greatest strategies: causing believers to doubt who they are in Christ and what God can do through them.
If you’ve ever felt disqualified by your past, overwhelmed by your weaknesses, or discouraged by doubt, this episode will remind you that your confidence is found in Christ alone.
Learn to recognize the enemy’s schemes, stand firm in God’s truth, and walk in the victory that is already yours through Jesus.

In this special episode, filmed from Eagle Rock Camp in the mountains of East Tennessee, we sit down with Madalynne Baxter to discuss one of the most powerful passages in Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:18–21.
As this year’s youth camp focuses on the theme “Ambassadors,” we unpack what it truly means to represent Christ in a world that desperately needs the hope of the gospel.
Whether you’re a student, parent, ministry leader, or simply wanting to grow in your walk with Christ, this conversation will encourage you to embrace your identity as an ambassador for Jesus.

Revival begins when God returns to His rightful place in our lives.
In this message from 2 Chronicles 29:1–17, we look at the example of King Hezekiah and discover that true revival starts when worship becomes our highest priority. It calls us to pursue holiness, honestly evaluate our hearts, turn away from sin, and renew our commitment to the Lord.
Revival isn't simply an emotional moment—it's a work of God that transforms our hearts and is reflected in the way we live. We pray this message challenges and encourages you to put God first and experience the joy of walking closely with Him.

No matter how far we've wandered, God desires for His children to come home.
In this message from Hosea 14, we see God's invitation to return through repentance, confession, and faith in His grace.
While sin leaves us broken and empty, God delights in restoring, healing, and renewing those who turn back to Him.
If you've ever wondered whether God is ready to welcome you back, this message is a beautiful reminder that home is found in His presence—and it's where we were always meant to remain.

God's love never fails—even when we do. In this message from Hosea 1–3, we see a powerful picture of God's unfailing love for His people.
Through Hosea's story, we're reminded that sin is more than breaking rules—it's choosing lesser loves over the One who loves us perfectly. Yet even in our unfaithfulness, God continues to pursue us with grace, offering forgiveness, restoration, and a fresh start.
No matter where you are today, God's invitation is the same: turn away from the things that can never satisfy and return to the only love that never fails.

In this episode, we look at the calling of Matthew in Matthew 9 and discover an incredible truth: Jesus doesn’t define us by our failures, our past, or the labels others place on us. While everyone else saw Matthew as a traitor and a sinner, Jesus saw a man with value, purpose, and kingdom potential.
The same is true for you.
No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve done, Jesus sees you differently than you often see yourself. His invitation is still the same today: “Follow Me.”
 

After a mountaintop victory on Mount Carmel, the prophet Elijah finds himself in one of the lowest valleys of his life.
In this episode, we walk through the powerful story of 1 Kings 18–19, where victory is followed by vulnerability, and calling is tested in the quiet places of despair.
Elijah’s cave becomes a mirror for our own seasons of anxiety, discouragement, and isolation. In these seasons, we can rest knowing that there is still hope. There is still purpose. There is still a future. There is still a next step.
And maybe today, the same question that God asked Elijah is being asked of you: “What are you doing here?”
It is time to come out of that cave!
