Like all leaders, Jim Buchan has encountered challenges and potholes along his leadership journey. He shares how leadership development requires intentional preparation, much like the precision of a relay race handoff, where timing and alignment are crucial. When we hit the potholes of life, it can throw off our alignment and put us in danger. Join Jim and host Doug Stringer as they explore how keeping our focus on Christ can help us reach our destination with peace even in the midst of the pressures of life.
Summary: Choices define our destiny! Throughout our lives, we are confronted with making choices that influence our lives and future. As we are faced with decisions, it is so important to keeping our vision of hope and destination, with expectation and anticipation. There are times that our immediate circumstances are challenging and difficult, yet we have a covenant promise from God. Our greatest breakthroughs and victories often come when we choose to stay focused and committed even when we may not yet see it.Ruth chose her covenant commitment with no foreseeable promise of a better life, while her sister in law, Orpah, chose what was most familiar and comfortable. Orpah chose to go back to the familiarity of her people in Moab, while Ruth's choice to continue with Naomi, brought her into an unexpected destiny. Orpah went into obscurity. Ruth entered into greatness. Which will you choose?
Doug recently shared on keeping our moral compass in the midst of all the noise polutition and distractions.. He points to the the scriptures that keep you focused on rectitude and righteousness. Listen to this timely, and inspiring message that remind us of the importance to be tethered to God and His word, to withstand the storms of the day.
God wants His church to prepare for the days ahead and be an ark of refuge in times of trouble. By preparing and getting in alignment to God's kingdom principles, both individually and corporately, we can be ready to be a help to others.Windsurfing and speedboating in life may be fun and exciting, but when major storms come, we'd better be rooted and grounded in the Lord. We need stability in relationship to God and His Church. We need more than excitement and hype, we need His Word, His Wisdom, His Presence, His Divine Guidance and Direction.There is such need in the world around us today. So many are shipwrecked in the sea of despair. God is calling His people, you and me, to be rise up in these stormy days and be an ark of refuge. Noah is a man who heeded God's divine warning and prepared. Hebrews 11:7 tells us that “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear [and] prepared an ark for the saving of his household.” Noah lived in dark days full of corruption and immorality. But he heeded God's warning that judgment was coming and prepared accordingly. As a result, his household was saved, as were all the living things that came with him on the ark. (Also see Genesis 6–9)This is where we are today- what will you do? Tune in as Doug shares how to stay tethered to God in the days ahead.

Did you know that more men at your church on Sunday are likely to have viewed pornography in the past week than to have opened their Bibles?

Summary: After the Resurrection, Jesus' followers struggled to grasp His true identity, hoping for a triumphant Messiah. They experienced a mix of expectation, perplexity and astonishment. We also face these emotions when things don't go the way we expect them to. These expectations can cause us to miss Jesus in our midst. Yet He is in the middle of our circumstances. By inviting Him into our lives as Lord and communing with Him, we open ourselves to the revelation of Who He truly is.Click here for SHOW NOTES.Share this message with a friend and subscribe for weekly encouragement and inspiration!Visit AWordInSeasonPodcast.org for a free 30-Day Devotional, Show Notes, and to see previous guests.Learn more at: SomebodyCares.org and join us to support this ministry and disaster response efforts.You can also receive weekly Provoke-a-Thought emails, monthly teaching emails, periodic ministry updates, or join our prayer team by signing up here!FOLLOW US ON:Facebook: @SomebodyCaresAmericaYoutube: SomebodyCaresAmericaRumble: SomebodyCares orTwitter: _SomebodyCares.Instagram: SomebodyCaresAmericaLinkedIn: Somebody Cares America

There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. Great revolutions for good or for evil occur in the vacuum created by these openings. It is in these times that key men and women, even entire generations, risk everything to become the hinge of history, that pivotal point that determines which way the door will swing.Esther was such a "hinge of history" woman. Born an orphan Jew in pagan Persia, without father and mother, adopted by Mordecai, taken because of her beauty into an evil king's harem, appointed by the unseen dancing hand of Providence into a queenly place of authority, and, in a three-day fast and one do-or-die decision, saved her people from destruction.Lou Engle is calling for a million Esthers and Mordecais to gather at The Mall in Washington D.C. on October 12, 2024--the Day of Atonement-

Summary: When trouble comes, we need to know we stand on the unshakable foundation of our faith. Sadly, many Christians today falter in their faith because they lack biblical literacy and a love for truth. First John 4 tells us we must be instructed by the Word so we may discern between truth and error. The Lord's discipline always begins with His own and in the house of the Lord. When the shaking comes, only those things that are part of the unshakable kingdom can withstand and remain. Psalm 112:1-6 (NIV) promises that “those who fear the Lord, who find great delight in his commands. … Surely the righteous man will never be shaken; they will be remembered forever.” Keep hold of the truth and keep focused on what God has called you to do to bring positive change. The shakings are coming! And revival will come too, whether by choice, circumstance or consequence. Throughout history, the church has always grown through times of challenge. May we keep our focus on the Lord as these shakings produce a great harvest. Click here for SHOW NOTES. Share this message with a friend and subscribe for weekly encouragement and inspiration!
