Anchored by the Word

Dealing With Conflict (Feat. Diana Likens)

Have you ever been angry at someone that hurt you? Has anyone ever been angry at you for hurting them? Have you ever struggled to figure out how to honor God when you have hurt someone or someone has hurt you? As you strove to forgive them or to plead with them for their forgiveness?

Of course you have.

In this week's episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin is joined once more by his wife, Diana, as they continue our series on relationships with a focus this week on how to deal with conflict in your relationships.

Being Single (Feat. Diana Likens)

In this week's episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin is joined once more by his wife-Diana-to continue the mini series exploring Godly relationships. This week, they take a deep dive into a topic that many in the church only give cursory attention to and even less discussion of: singleness.

This episode is not just for the single Christian though. Even for Christians who have been married for decades, this episode shares essential truths that you can then use to support those younger in the faith or even to share the hope of the gospel to singles in your family.

How does one honor God while single? How can they avoid falling into sin and temptation as they wait? All that and more in this weeks episode of Anchored by the Word!

Knowing God’s Will

Have you ever struggled with God's will for your life? Prayed earnestly, begging God for an answer? If you have, then you are in good company- most believers throughout history have wondered how to know God's plan for their life, and in this week's episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin and Josh discuss how you can know that you are living in God's will. 

Is Failure a Blessing?

In this week's episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin has his oldest son, Andrew Likens, on as a special guest Co-Host. They discuss the question of whether or not failure is a blessing.

In this touching episode, father and son discuss how Andrew's first semester of college and the challenges it brought can be used to learn deep biblical truths, along with addressing the most common modern heresy, that of the Prosperity Gospel.

”Man, God Understands!”

Have you ever heard the phrase "Man, God understands! That's why he sent Jesus!"

Better question: Have you ever considered whether or not that statement is biblical? In this weeks episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin and Josh discuss the heart beneath this lie from Satan, and also share the biblical truth that has been twisted to create this lie.

Can a Christian be Perfect?

On this weeks episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin Likens and co-host Josh Davis tackle the issue of "Christian Perfectionism," which is an old, old belief that Christians can be perfectly sinless in life before Jesus comes back. Of course, this belief does bring about no small amount of frustration for many who hold to it, so this week, Pastor Justin and Josh encourage each other and the listeners by correctly interpreting the biblical truth behind the lie of Christian Perfectionism.

Forgive & Forget?

What does it mean to truly forgive? Does it require that you forget the offense, or that you pretend it didn't happen?

In this weeks episode of Anchored by the Word, Pastor Justin dives into the Lie of Satan that forgiveness requires forgetting that the person who hurt you ever hurt you, and explains the biblical truth of what it means to truly forgive as scripture commands us.
