Standing Firm in God’s Truth When Culture Shifts
In this episode, Dr. David Tyler examines how believers can remain anchored in God’s unchanging Word when culture redefines morality and truth. Drawing from Scripture, he explains why biblical conviction, not personal opinion, must guide how we live and counsel others. Learn how to stand firm in a world where truth is constantly shifting, yet God’s truth remains the same.
When Culture Calls Sin Love explores how modern society has blurred the line between right and wrong, calling moral compromise “love.” Dr. David Tyler opens Scripture to show how truth and compassion must never be separated—and how believers can respond with conviction and grace.
Part 2 in the series “When Culture Redefines Sin.”
When Laziness Becomes a Virtue In this episode, Dr. David M. Tyler explores how modern culture often rewards laziness and excuses irresponsibility. Through biblical counsel, he contrasts the world’s redefinition of “rest” and “self-care” with God’s call to diligence and stewardship. This practical message reminds believers that genuine rest flows from obedience, not avoidance—and that virtue is found in faithfulness, not comfort.
Alcoholics Anonymous and the Rise of Spiritual Relativism Alcoholics Anonymous promotes a “god of your own understanding,” but that idea directly opposes biblical truth. In this episode, Dr. David M. Tyler explains how spiritual relativism distorts real repentance and why true freedom is found only in Jesus Christ.
Is My Loved One Sinful or Sick? In this episode of the David Tyler Podcast, Dr. David M. Tyler explores the important question: Is my loved one sinful, or are they sick? Nearly all marriage and family problems stem from sinful attitudes and behaviors. Yet today, culture often labels sin as a “disorder” or “disease.” Drawing from Scripture, Dr. Tyler examines the dangers of redefining sin, why it matters for biblical counseling, and how hope and healing are found only in Christ.
Who Are You When No one is Watching? “It’s easy to look spiritual in public, but who are you at home? This podcast calls men to authenticity, humility, and Christlike leadership where it matters most.”
A Counseling Ministry at Your Church; Why? Counseling is a targeted part of discipleship that addresses the personal struggles keeping someone from growing spiritually. It involves coming alongside them, applying Scripture to their situation, and helping them understand how to change. It’s a more concentrated and temporary form of discipleship with the goal of restoring spiritual momentum and guiding them back to steady, ongoing growth in Christ.
A Courageous Husband and Father The most foundational form of leadership in society is a husband and father’s leadership in the home. From creation, God established man as the head of the family, calling him to lead with Christlike love and raise his children in the Lord’s instruction. A father’s influence shapes future leaders, making strong leadership at home essential.
Why I Hated Counseling I served as a pastor for 27 years—and I loved it. I loved studying God’s Word and preaching it each week. But one thing I dreaded was counseling. When someone came to me with years of depression, anxiety, or anger, I didn’t know how to help. I could pray with them, listen, maybe share a verse… but deep down, I felt unprepared. What could I offer that would truly change things?”
Love Languages is Not Your Problem The Five Love languages by Gary Chapman. I do think he gives some constructive advice. For example, everybody has their preferences as to the way they like their spouse to show love. On the other hand, I don’t agree with his main premise. Chapman’s premise is built upon the fact that all people have a natural focus and bias toward self. Self, not God or neighbor is the focus of the book.
