Does God Change? Tony Robbins, a Pastor's Calling, and the Danger of Pride

Does God change? Is the God of the Old Testament different from the God of the New Testament? And how do you measure success when God calls you to something difficult?

On today's episode of The Steve Marston Show, we're tackling some big questions about faith, perseverance, and what it really means to follow Jesus.

Here's what's on today's show:

Does God Grow? Tony Robbins Questions the Bible

Motivational speaker Tony Robbins recently shared his thoughts after reading the Bible from cover to cover. His conclusion? The God of the Old Testament seems very different from the God of the New Testament. He even asks whether God grows or changes.

Steve examines those claims through Scripture and explains why God's character, justice, mercy, and love are consistent throughout the Bible.

Seek & Find: The Tragic Ending of King Uzziah

King Uzziah began his reign at just 16 years old and experienced extraordinary success. But despite decades of faithfulness and blessing, pride eventually became his downfall.

What happened to this once-great king? And what can his story teach us about the importance of finishing well? We're digging into 2 Chronicles 26.

Cody Price: When Ministry Gets Hard

What happens when you're called to pastor a church but still have to work a full-time job to support your family?

Steve revisits an encouraging conversation with bivocational pastor Cody Price about balancing work, ministry, and family while remaining faithful to God's calling.

Cody shares the challenges of planting a church, the discouragement of preaching to nearly empty rooms, and the lessons God taught him along the way.

His reminder to struggling pastors is powerful: In God's Kingdom, success isn't always measured by thousands. Sometimes it's counted one person at a time.
