How should Christians respond when tragedy strikes—whether in the world around us or within the body of Christ? In this timely episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki addresses the assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent acts of violence, calling believers to think biblically about grief, justice, and hope.

This episode begins with lament: Scripture teaches it is right to mourn, grieve, and cry out to God in the face

of loss. Yet grief must be tempered and guided by truth, rooted in the mercies and comfort of God revealed in Christ, who Himself suffered and is touched with our infirmities. From there, Pastor Josh emphasizes the need for discernment—rejecting rash reactions, misinformation, and worldly anger, while anchoring ourselves in the Word of God as the light in a dark world.

Finally, the episode directs listeners to the eternal perspective that sustains us: vengeance belongs to God, perfect justice will be executed by Christ at His return, and until then, we overcome evil with good, serve even our enemies, and hold fast to the hope of a world made new.

This message calls believers to grieve with hope, to stand firm in truth, and to live with courage and clarity in the midst of a world filled with violence and confusion.

What really happens when believers gather as the church? In this episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki explores the purpose and practice of the church’s life together, focusing on the twin priorities of edification and service.

The church is not a building or a program, but the people of God—those redeemed by Christ and joined together as His body. When we gather, the central task is to sit under the faithful preaching of God’s Word. From that foundation flows growth in knowledge, wisdom, and spiritual strength. Edification is not about entertainment or outward show, but the inner man being built up by truth, so that believers might walk in Christlikeness.

Yet edification is never meant to stay private. It expresses itself in service—through love, comfort, encouragement, correction, and bearing one another’s burdens. Every member has a role, and every member is necessary for the health of the body. Together, the church becomes a testimony of Christ’s life and love to one another and to the world.

This episode is a call to recover the privilege and responsibility of gathering, to value the Word above all, and to see the church as more than something to consume—but a fellowship to which we belong and contribute. Edification and service go hand in hand, shaping us into the likeness of Christ and strengthening His body for His glory.

What does it really mean to worship God? In this episode of All Things for Good, Pastor Josh Strelecki takes listeners beyond the common association of worship with music, lights, and Sunday gatherings, and leads them into the heart of biblical worship—a life lived in spirit and in truth.

Drawing from John 4, Philippians 3, and Romans 12, this episode shows that true worship is not bound to a physical place, outward ritual, or performance, but flows from the inner person transformed by God’s Word and Spirit. Worship is rooted in gratitude, faith, and obedience, as believers present their bodies a living sacrifice and let the word of Christ dwell richly within them.

Listeners are encouraged to see worship not as something confined to Sunday services or singing, but as an all-of-life reality: how we think, speak, work, relate, and live before God. Worship without truth drifts into idolatry; truth without the Spirit becomes empty ritual. But worship in spirit and truth brings both heart and mind under God’s will, producing praise and service that honors Him daily.

This episode challenges every believer to consider: is my worship dependent on outward form, or is it grounded in the truth of God’s Word and the overflow of a heart renewed by Christ?
