Teaching the whole counsel of God for the honor of God.
The Mission of Unashamed Truth Ministries is to teach the whole counsel of God for the honor of God. As the Bible-teaching ministry of Grant Castleberry, the desire is to reach as many people as possible with the truth of God’s Word. The mission is the further discipleship of the believer and to give an apologetic to the unbeliever who is investigating the claims of God-centered Christianity.

What We Believe
We hold that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the only authority in matters of faith and practice, and our interpretation of Bible doctrine leads us to believe:
The Scriptures of the Old & New Testament as being verbally inspired by God and inerrant and infallible in the original writings, and that they are of supreme and final authority. Moreover, they are sufficient so that the believer is equipped for every good work.
In one God eternally existing in one essence, yet co-equal persons, the Trinity: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit.
That Jesus Christ was begotten by God, conceived by the Holy Spirit and born to the virgin Mary. He is both truly man and truly God.
In the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, who convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. He is the life of the believer, imparts spiritual gifts to the Body of Christ, and He empowers the preaching and teaching of the gospel.
That mankind was created in the image of God, sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death, but spiritual death, which is separation from God, and that human beings are born with a sinful nature.
That the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures as a representative and substitutionary sacrifice, and that all who believe in Him are justified on the basis of His shed blood.
In the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, His ascension into heaven, and His present life there as High Priest and Advocate for us.
In the blessed hope, which is the personal, visible, and future return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.That all who receive by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born again by the Holy Spirit and thereby become children of God and heirs of eternal life, and can by no means lose their salvation. All believers will demonstrate their faith through good works wrought by the Holy Spirit.
In the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, the everlasting conscious suffering of the lost in hell, and the fellowship of the saved in heaven.
In the existence of a personal devil, who is still working in the world to destroy the souls of men, and that he and all his angels and all who do not receive Christ as their personal Savior will eternally perish in the lake of fire.
In the Church, whose mission it is to preach the Scriptures and make disciples of all nations, all of its endeavors being guided by multiple leadership and supported by the wise stewardship of God’s people.
That the ordinances of the Church, given by the Lord, are Baptism and the Lord’s Table (Communion).
“There is nothing as powerful in this world as the Word of God. Our job is simply to unleash it.”
