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.
Spiritual Warfare Is Real: Surrender, Purpose & Living an Authentic Faith
What does spiritual warfare actually look like in everyday life—and how do you fight back when worry, fear, and pressure begin stealing your peace? On this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve gets personal about a middle-of-the-night battle with racing thoughts, stress, and anxiety—and the simple biblical truth that helped him regain his peace: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Sometimes spiritual warfare doesn't look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like the thoughts that keep pulling your attention away from God.
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.
