What do you do when you diligently pray about something, but God’s answer is no? Chip explores this thought-provoking topic in this program as he studies 2 Corinthians chapter 12. He opens up about his own struggles with accepting a "no" from God, but the valuable lesson he is learning and the unexpected ways God is blessing the work of Living on the Edge anyway.
Main Points
Finding Strength in "No" --- Sometimes, God doesn’t change our circumstances because He’s doing something deeper—perfecting His power in our weakness and drawing us closer to Him through grace.Choosing Joy, Love, Hope, and Peace --- Even when life is painful or uncertain, we’re not victims. We can choose joy, love, hope, and peace—not based on feelings or outcomes, but grounded in God’s truth and Spirit. Living on the Edge: Global Impact --- Chip’s personal suffering didn’t limit his ministry—it expanded it. Living on the Edge is now reaching millions globally, reminding us that when we surrender our pain, God can turn it into purpose.Broadcast Resource

Chip explains why it’s intellectually honest to believe that the God of the Bible is actually the one, true God. As narrow as that may sound, there’s compelling evidence that it’s true and that you can not only confidently believe in God, but explain to others why they don’t have to throw their brains in the trash to believe it too.

If you hold to one of those positions or you’d like some insight about how to respond to those viewpoints, what Chip has to share will be super helpful.

In this program, Chip tells us the integrity of the Christian message hinges on the resurrection of Jesus. He continues his look, that began in our previous program, at the proofs that Jesus is who He said He is…that He’s God, that He rose from the dead, and is alive today.

In this program, Chip tells us the integrity of the Christian message hinges on the resurrection of Jesus. If Jesus didn’t rise from death to life, none of the other tenets of the faith matter. Well, you gotta live before you can die. So, Chip begins with a look at the proofs of Christ’s life in Israel, and what the historical record says.

Creation versus evolution: the never-ending debate, right? So many want us to believe that science and faith are incompatible. But what if they’re not? What if science actually supports faith and what if faith actually informs science? Chip provides helpful insight to the current debate, in a time when the disagreements are more intense than ever.
Main PointsDefining our terms: Microevolution: The small changes that only happen within a species. Some examples of microevolution are the mosquito’s ability to resist DDT after years of exposure, and the ability of different bacterial strains to resist penicillin. Macroevolution: The vertical transition between species (from one kind of species to another kind) evolving to account for all animal and human life. Creation: The belief that God created all things out of nothing, as described in the Bible in the book of Genesis. All of life in its rich complexity happened as the result of the all-powerful, all-knowing, sovereign God of the universe who is Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.Today's four major positions: Group 1: Classic Creationism - The literal biblical account Group 2: Classic Evolution - Random change and natural selection Group 3: Theistic Evolution - God-supervised evolution Group 4: Intelligent Design - A designer of some kindHow did life begin? Evolution: Life’s beginning was unsupervised, impersonal, unpredictable, a natural process. The beginning of life was random, undirected without either plan or purpose. Creation: Defined by the Bible. God spoke.Why did life begin? Evolution: Life began as a pure accident. It was random chance. There was no design, no plan, no meaning, no emotions, no purpose, and no value. Creation: You are the special creation of a good and all-powerful God. You are the climax of His creation. Not only is your kind unique, but you are unique among your kind.How did various plants and animals develop? Evolution: A simple cell evolved to more complex plants and animals through the process of time, chance, natural selection, mutations, and survival of the fittest over a period of billions of years. Creation: God created various plants, animals, kinds, and species in a harmonic balance to reflect His attributes and character.Complexity of Life Cells: Thanks to today’s more powerful microscopes, we know that a single-cell organism, the most basic unit of any living thing, is incredibly complex. DNA: Is like the software of the cell, the computer program that makes it work. In fact, if you took a tablespoon and filled it to the top with this DNA, your tablespoon could contain the precise instructions to build every single species of organism that has ever existed on the planet. Astronomy: “Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.” - Robert JastrowBroadcast Resource Download Free MP3 Message Notes -
Did you know that some of the most severe critics of evolution are not Christians, not creationists, but leading scholars…non-believing, scholars who say the scientific evidence simply doesn’t support evolution? Chip explains that the premise that science and faith are mutually exclusive is patently false!

Astronomy: “Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.” - Robert JastrowBroadcast Resource Download Free MP3 Message Notes Resource Page -

If you’ve ever wondered if the Bible is true – this program is for you. Chip puts the Bible on trial and lays out a case for the authenticity of scripture. He presents evidence that the Bible, as we have it today, IS reliable. And is the true, Word of God - just as meaningful to us, as it was to its first readers.
Main PointsFive plaguing questions about the Bible: Is the Bible the word of men or the very words of God? Is the Bible full of myths, legends, and fairytales, or is it historically reliable? Is all of the Bible true and trustworthy or only portions of it? Can a Bible that has been translated so many times, for so many hundreds of years, really be accurate? What makes the Bible so different from all other religious writings and their claims to truth?7 Reasons why I believe in the Bible: ARCHEOLOGY – The Bible is a historically accurate document. REVELATION – The Bible claims to infallibly reveal the very words and mind of God. ORIGIN – The Bible is unique. Its origin, structure, and unity argue for a supernatural authorship. JESUS – believed the Old Testament to be the very Words of God and predicted the New Testament to be likewise. PROPHECY – sets the Bible apart from all other Religions. TRANSMISSION – The Bible’s purityand perseverance throughout the centuries is nothing short of miraculous. IMPACT – The Bible’s power to transform lives is overwhelming.Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3 Message Notes Resource PageAdditional Resource Mentions Why I Believe & Jesus Skeptic Book BundleAbout Chip IngramChip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.
