In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, guest speaker Brandon Lavy returns to complete his study of the Minor Prophets by exploring what genuine restoration looks like for someone who has wandered from God. Following the returning Israelite exiles and the prophetic messages of Haggai and Zechariah, the conversation examines how the people had to reprioritize God at the center of their lives before any real rebuilding could begin and how God met them in the middle of the rubble with grace. By drawing from Haggai 1, Zechariah 3 and 4, and New Testament teaching on repentance, confession, and the question of rebaptism, the episode offers a practical and deeply encouraging answer to the question many believers carry quietly: is it truly possible to come home to God after drifting away?

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, guest speaker Brandon Lavy from Greenfield Church of Christ examines one of the most debated questions in Christianity: can a person who has genuinely been saved fall away from God? Drawing on the dramatic narrative of the Minor Prophets, the discussion traces how Israel and Judah drifted from their covenant relationship with God not through one dramatic rebellion but through small, incremental decisions made over years. By studying passages from Hosea, Amos, Hebrews 2, 3, and 6, and 2 Peter 2, the episode confronts the doctrine of "once saved, always saved" and explores what Scripture actually teaches about the real and serious possibility of apostasy and the faithful God who still pursues his people even in their drift.

In this episode of Reclaiming Truth, Mike Wilson and Larry Montgomery address the serious responsibility parents carry in the spiritual formation of their children. Drawing on the timeless instruction of Proverbs 22:6 and the commands of Deuteronomy 6, the discussion calls mothers and fathers to examine whether they are truly teaching their children the knowledge of God, not just through words but through the daily example they set in the home. By looking at passages from Ephesians 6, Mark 10, and Hosea 4, the episode explores how consistent church attendance and intentional Bible instruction build a foundation of faith that can shape a child's eternal destiny and why no gift a parent can give will ever matter more.
