Telling the Truth

Telling the Truth is a Christian teaching program built around extended messages from the Briscoes. It is not a roundtable. It is not casual devotional banter. The show works through biblical passages with a measured, sermon-like rhythm, then turns the lesson toward family, humility, forgiveness, endurance, and the shape of Christian discipleship. Jill Briscoe often brings scriptural scenes into the lived space of the home. In one recent message, Joshua's household language becomes a way to think about shared spiritual responsibility, while Peter's unnamed wife becomes a picture of hospitality and a house opened to strangers, the sick, the needy, and the lost. Stuart Briscoe's recent series on the cross is more doctrinal and tightly framed. He treats the crucifixion not only as tragedy, but as triumph, glory, offense, remembrance, and forgiveness. The tone is serious. It can still be warm. Joel Briscoe's message on pride and humility narrows the focus to self-understanding, asking how a person can reject pride without collapsing into self-contempt. Across the episodes, the teaching favors clear oppositions: pride and humility, refuge and offense, family as private shelter and family as spiritual witness. The show does not rush those contrasts. It repeats them, illustrates them, and presses them toward response. Recent episodes also include substantial ministry appeals and resource offers, so the strongest material often begins after the opening frame. The core experience is still plain: Scripture is read as authority, doctrine is explained as necessary, and ordinary Christian life is treated as the testing ground. Telling the Truth is best for listeners who want traditional Bible teaching with practical force, especially those drawn to pastoral exposition rather than interviews, culture-war commentary, or inspirational sound bites.
