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?
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.
Don’t Quit: How God Uses Ordinary People Who Stay in the Fight
Steve Teal of Very Bold Ministries joins the show to share the incredible story behind the Peanut Butter Bowl. What began with two Texas high schools in 2016 has grown to involve roughly 120 schools, using the excitement of high school football to collect peanut butter and help feed children and families facing food insecurity. Steve also discusses spiritual warfare, the reality of the unseen battle described in Scripture, and why Christians need to understand what the Bible actually teaches about standing against the enemy. Next, Casey Longing, youth pastor at Union Valley Baptist Church in Beebe, Arkansas, shares how God has opened doors for him inside public schools. Through biblical character lessons and student-led opportunities, Casey has watched participation grow from a simple table at a school club event to hundreds of students hearing what Scripture says about kindness, forgiveness, character, and hope.
