The Saltworks
The Saltworks are the stories of real faith from real people in the real world. Saltworks by definition is a place where salt is refined as well as a job often viewed as drudgery. But it’s in the unseen places where people just like you are refined walking faithfully in their everyday lives, because God works in the saltworks. The Bible is full of these people, and they live right next door to you. They are the salt of the earth. These are their stories, and this is your story.

How to Abide When You Want to Walk Away (Abide in the Word Conference 2026)

Today’s episode is a live recording from Abide in the Word Conference. Jesus promises us that in this life, we will have trouble. Some seasons of loss, grief, waiting, and heartache can feel like we are just ready to walk away from hope or faith. If that’s where you are today, you’re not alone. In today’s message, we are digging deep into the life of John the Baptist and that one poignant question he would ask Jesus in his darkest moment of despair, “are you the one?” Truthfully, we’ve all had moments of asking that in some way or another, and this story has been one I’ve wrestled with in the past. But today, instead of being discouraged from John’s story, there is much to take hope in when we stop to listen to Jesus’s response– not just to John, but to all who come to Him.
