Bonus: When God Heals Slowly: Faith, Suffering and Learning to Wait | The Unbound Podcast
bonusIf you have ever felt trapped by your body, your limits or a season you didn’t choose, thisconversation will meet you where you are. In this bonus episode from The Unbound Podcast, Dr. Tony Evans sits down with Dr. Dan Wallace, one of the world’s leading Greek scholars and a lifelong student of the New Testament. Dan is best known for his work in textual criticism and for founding the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, which has helped digitize thousands of ancient biblical manuscriptsaround the world. But this conversation centers on a chapter of his life that few people know. After contracting encephalitis, Dan lost much of his strength, mobility and even his grasp ofGreek, the language he had devoted his life to studying and teaching. He shares what it waslike to relearn Greek from scratch, using the very textbook he had written himself, whilenavigating years of uncertainty, pain and physical limitations. This is not a technical discussion and not a polished testimony. It is an honest conversationabout chronic illness, suffering without clear answers and what faith looks like when progress isslow and control is gone. Together, they talk about what Scripture actually teaches aboutsuffering, how endurance is formed over time and why God’s presence often shows up throughpeople rather than quick solutions. If you are carrying pain, fatigue or unanswered questions, this episode offers clarity withoutclichés and hope without pretending everything is fine.

Lent: When Life Feels Out of Control: Jesus’ Unshakable Kingdom (John 18:36)
Today’s Bible Verse: “Jesus said, ‘My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.’” — John 18:36 John 18:36 records Jesus’ response to Pilate during His trial. While standing before earthly authority, Jesus makes a profound statement about the nature of His kingdom.

Bonus: Plane Hijacked in Africa – Pilot’s Story (Part 1) | On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse
We’re sharing a special bonus episode from the podcast On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse, hosted by Kristy Graham. The show brings listeners close to the front lines of global ministry through stories of faith, courage, and God’s work through Samaritan’s Purse. Today's episode covers Missionary pilot Jim Streit's story. When someone put a gun in his face, Jim had a choice—he could either let fear take over or he could trust Jesus with his life. As Jim’s plane was hijacked in Africa, the Lord brought Scriptures back to his mind and reminded him that there is power in the Name of Jesus. Hear from Jim Streit, who was in the air, and from Matt Olson, who was on the ground in North Carolina, about how God came through in a mighty way. Together, they reflect on how God’s presence and protection were evident in the middle of an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Content Note: This episode includes descriptions of a dangerous situation involving a firearm and may be intense for some listeners.

Lent: When You Have More Questions than Answers (John 14:27)
John 14:27 speaks directly into anxious hearts. As Jesus prepared His disciples for His departure, He didn’t promise easy circumstances—He promised peace. Not temporary relief. Not distraction. His peace. The world offers comfort that fades when pressure rises. Christ offers a steady, internal peace that holds even when circumstances don’t change. This verse invites us to receive peace as a gift, not something we strive to manufacture. When fear competes for space in our hearts, Jesus calls us to trust His presence instead.

Today’s Bible Verse: “He struck the rock, and water gushed out, streams flowed abundantly, but can he also give us bread? Can he supply meat for his people?” — Psalm 78:20 Psalm 78:20 captures a moment of mixed faith.

Today’s Bible Verse: “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” — Matthew 5:44 Matthew 5:44 confronts our natural instincts. Loving enemies and praying for those who hurt us doesn’t come easily—and Jesus knows that. This command isn’t about ignoring harm or pretending wounds don’t exist. It’s about choosing a different response: releasing bitterness and trusting God with justice. “Want to listen without ads?
