Time of Grace With Pastor Mike Novotny

We all want to grow in faith, but sometimes pride gets in the way. When you don’t understand something about God, the Bible, or faith, it’s easier to fake it than admit it. But real growth happens when you're honest about what you don’t know. In this message, you'll see why God doesn’t want you to pretend—you grow stronger when you admit your questions and seek understanding. Because honest Christians don’t just show up to church—they ask, they learn, and they get it.

Pastor Mike mentions this month's $125,000 Challenge Grant! Thanks to some generous friends of the ministry, that means your gift will go TWICE as far in helping us speak openly and biblically—and with grace and truth—about real life topics that many people avoid. And when you give, we want to send you Pastor Mike's new book: How to Talk Taboo: A Christian Guide to Honest Confession and Brave Confrontation. This book will show you how to face your fears, get to the other side of awkward, and bravely step into the freedom honesty brings. You’ll learn that honesty leads to grace. It’s the secret sauce for true Christian community. And it’s how you experience the fullness of God’s love. Learn more at timeofgrace.org.
