Founders Baptist Church

Jealousy and envy are not minor flaws but destructive sins that spring from unbelief, discontentment, and idolatry. In this episode, Dr. Richard Caldwell explains how these heart issues reveal a lack of trust in God's sovereignty and corrupt both worship and relationships. Scripture calls believers to walk by the Spirit, putting away envy and cultivating love, gratitude, and contentment in Christ. True freedom is found when the heart rejoices in God's wisdom, rests in His providence, and treasures Christ above all else.

This episode unpacks what Scripture teaches about true biblical friendship. Dr. Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot explain how Christians are called to walk together in truth, offering gentle correction and encouragement when sin arises. They discuss loving accountability in marriage, the distinction between friendship and fellowship, the importance of humility and contentment in relationships, and how the local church provides the context for healthy, Christ-centered community.

Many believers rely on familiar phrases to express faith, but not all clichés align with biblical truth. This episode examines common sayings like "God works in mysterious ways," "Let go and let God," and "God will not give you more than you can handle." Pastor Caldwell urges listeners to move beyond shallow theology by testing every phrase against Scripture and embracing the richness of God's Word as the foundation of faith.

Patience is essential to the Christian life. In this episode, we see that true patience is not passive but Spirit-produced endurance grounded in humility and trust in God's sovereignty. Scripture calls believers to respond with gentleness, endure trials, and wait on the Lord, knowing His ways are perfect and His timing is always good.
