The Steve Marston Show

On today’s episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve tackles what may be the most important question anyone will ever answer: Who is Jesus to you? Inspired by a conversation on The Dale Jr. Download with Dale Earnhardt Jr., Steve explores why this question cuts deeper than general statements about faith—and why it reveals everything about a person’s spiritual condition.

If you’ve ever felt unsure about how to share your faith, this episode offers a simple, powerful starting point. No theological gymnastics required—just a personal question that moves the conversation from “Jesus died for the world” to “What has He done for you?”

In “That’s Not in the Bible,” Steve addresses a common phrase heard at funerals: “Heaven gained another angel.” Is that biblical? A careful look at Scripture, from Genesis to Matthew 11, clarifies what actually happens when believers die—and why our future hope is even better than becoming angels.

How do you know when God is calling you to something new? In this episode of The Steve Marston Show, Steve unpacks the tension between waiting on God and stepping out in faith. From seminary misfires to unexpected closed doors, he shares practical wisdom on discerning your calling—and trusting God with the outcome.

Then, Pastor and author Joe Manning joins the conversation to explore the deeper meaning of the Lord’s Supper. Is it more than a ritual tacked onto the end of a service? Together, they dive into the biblical foundation in 1 Corinthians, the Old Testament backdrop in Ruth, and what it truly means to commune with Christ and one another.

Plus: listener emails on the rapture, raising Bible-reading kids, surviving life without football, a memory verse from Colossians 3:17, and a laugh-out-loud comedy clip from Leanne Morgan.
