Episode Notes:

What if the very reason you are where you are…
is because you were sent there?

In today's Morning Light, Mike Franklin explores the powerful biblical concept of "sent-ness" — the reality that every follower of Christ has been intentionally placed in this world to love, serve, and reach others.

Drawing from:

• John 9 – The healing at the Pool of Siloam ("Sent")

• John 17:14–18 – Jesus' prayer: "As You sent Me… I have sent them"

• John 20:21 – "As the Father has sent Me, so I send you"

• Matthew 10:16 – Sheep among wolves

• Luke 7:34 – A friend of sinners

This episode unpacks:

• Why healing is connected to obedience

• Why God doesn't remove us from the world — He sends us into it

• The courage required to engage a broken culture

• The wisdom needed to apply truth in love

• Why loving difficult people is part of the calling

Episode Notes:

In a world full of opinions, traditions, soundbites, and social media theology, how do we know what's actually true?

In today's Morning Light, Mike Franklin challenges us to become serious students of God's Word. Just like scientists can produce real diamonds in a lab, truth can sometimes look authentic on the surface. But there is a difference between what's manufactured quickly and what has stood the test of time.

Drawing from:

• John 8:31–32

• 2 Timothy 2:15

• 2 Timothy 4:3–4

• Matthew 7

This episode explores:

• Why partial truth can be dangerous

• The danger of "itching ears" theology

• How false confidence can lead to spiritual confusion

• Why eternity depends on knowing sound doctrine

• How truth brings real freedom

Episode Notes:

What do you do when life feels dry, barren, and exhausting, like the next bill is already sprinting toward your mailbox? In this episode, Mike Franklin looks at the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 17–18 and shows how God often leads us through two essential stops before we step into a season of fruitfulness.

• 1 Kings 17–18

• Why Mount Carmel (fruitful ground) often comes after seasons of drought

• Kerith: learning covenant obedience and trusting God daily

• Zarephath: refining, where God burns away impurities and strengthens faith

• What it means when "the brook dries up" and God gives a new direction

• Encouragement for anyone walking through hard times: dry doesn't mean defeated
