When Life Seems Unfair: Asaph, Eternity & Keeping Your Eyes on God
On this Fun Friday edition of The Steve Marston Show, Steve introduces us to one of the most relatable people in the Bible: Asaph, the worship leader who wrote Psalm 73. Asaph loved God, served Him faithfully, and still found himself looking at the lives of the ungodly and wondering, Why am I doing all of this?
Washed in the Blood? What Christians Really Mean — Plus Paul’s Courage in Acts 23
the debut of a brand-new feature: “Explain Yourself, Christian!” Christians sometimes use words and phrases that make perfect sense inside the church but can sound downright strange to everyone else. First up: “Are you washed in the blood?”
Bible, Brews & Christian Liberty: Where Should Believers Draw the Line?
Steve discusses alcohol, personal conviction, Christian freedom, our influence on other believers, and why having the freedom to do something doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the wisest choice. Ultimately, believers must seek God’s direction while also allowing room for other Christians to follow their own convictions.
Can Revival Really Happen Again? Why Prayer and God’s Word Still Matter
Steve also encourages Christians who feel intimidated by Bible study to stop believing that Scripture is too difficult to understand. You don’t need a special degree to know God through His Word—you simply need the willingness to open the Bible, ask God for understanding and begin.
When It Rains, It Pours: Trusting God When Life Piles Up
Steve kicks off this Fun Friday with a very real story from home: just when one expensive car repair was finally behind him, another car problem showed up. It’s the kind of moment that makes you wonder, “God, why is this happening?” But the struggles of everyday life remind us of something important: God never promised an easy life, but He did promise that we wouldn’t face it alone. When circumstances and emotions change, God and His Word remain the anchor.
Deep Water Faith: How to Pursue the Plans God Puts on Your Heart
Steve opens today’s show with a challenging word from Proverbs 20:5: “The purpose in a man’s heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.” Dreams, goals, callings, and plans aren’t always easy to pursue. Sometimes they require prayer, perseverance, wise counsel, hard work, and the willingness to keep going when you encounter roadblocks.
Can Revival Really Happen Again? Finding Faith in the Middle of the Storm
Steve sits down with Pastor Michael Loudermilk for an extraordinarily personal conversation about his 7-year-old daughter, Abigail, who is battling an aggressive brain tumor. Michael shares what it means to trust God's sovereignty while simultaneously experiencing grief, confusion, anger, and lament. Rather than offering easy answers, he talks about discovering the language of the Psalms and learning that genuine faith can include crying out to God when you don't understand what He's doing. Michael also shares encouraging news from Abigail's first post-radiation scan and how his family's battle has deepened the faith and relationships within their church community.
