B1G Fridays Podcast

For the past weeks, we've been learning essential leadership qualities that we must pursue—patience, humility, courage in the right place, and steadfast faith. Tonight, join us as we wrap up our HEARTSTRONG series with an open Q&A session with Ptr. Ickhoy de Leon and Bro. Ian Perez. Moderated by Ms. Gica Lumabao.

Have you ever been in situations where you wanted to firmly believe, yet fear, worry, and stress seem to overtake you? At times, our faith can falter and we need assurance, especially in times of uncertainty and testing. But what does it really mean to be a leader with steadfast faith? How can we lead and navigate life's ups and downs with a faith that is firmly grounded and not easily shaken?

Many say that the future favors the brave. But when it comes to leadership, courage certainly isn't brash, careless, nor insensitive. Right courage carries discernment, willingness, and determination to say and do the right things, regardless of the earthly cost.

Both Scriptures and leadership studies are replete with lessons on how humility deeply impacts leadership. But what exactly is humility in leadership? How can we embrace this quality as we pursue godly leadership?

History is filled with leaders who we admire and look up to. But contrary to what some think, leadership is certainly not only for the select few. All of us have the capacity to lead whether in our home, our workplace, circle of friends, and even the community. But what type of leaders should we aim to become? How can we hone our leadership skills? How can we truly lead in a way that builds people up and honors God?

For the past weeks, we've been discussing the sins of UNFORGIVENESS, PRIDE, ENVY, and LAZINESS. Join us as we wrap up our series with a LIVE Q&A session entitled, "Do Not Allow (D.N.A.) Sins to Bait You". We will be joined by our esteemed panelists, Ptr. Ickhoy de Leon and Ptr. Erick Totañes, with Ms. Venus Raj as the session moderator.

In a fast-paced world, things can be too demanding that we find ourselves losing drive. At times like this, we tend to slack off rather than having the urge to keep up. How can we identify if we really need rest or we are actually being lazy? What are the manifestations of laziness?

Have you ever wished you could be someone else? Do you often find yourself wanting to have it all or to live a life that's better than others? Whenever we compare our lives with others, envy and discontentment may creep in if we are not careful.

We hustle hard to gain reward and recognition but when own achievements are taken too far, pride becomes a slippery slope that leads to pain and destruction. When we are full of pride, we forget that we are just channels and not the Source.

Have you ever experienced difficulty in forgiving someone? Tonight, let us discuss the sin of UNFORGIVENESS that when left unabated will continue to hinder us from experiencing the full life that God intends for us. Join us as we launch a new B1G Fridays series entitled, "Do Not Allow: Resisting Sins that Hide Within,"

For the past weeks, we have been learning the importance of making our family our priority and how we can build a healthy and growing relationship with them. To cap off our "FAM, I.L.Y." series, join us for an open dialogue and a Q&A session entitled "FAM, I Listen to You".

Oftentimes, it is a challenge to build relationship because we find it hard to effectively communicate. As we aim to pursue a deeper relationship with our family, are we able to be transparent and speak the truth in love to them? Have we also created a safe space for them to speak to us openly?

For a lot of people, love is spelled as T.I.M.E. Quality time spent leads to love felt. But as singles, our busy schedule often hinders us from spending time with things other than our work and personal endeavors. How can we use our time to build meaningful relationships and towards things that truly matter?

Our lives can be too busy and demanding that, at times, we fail to pause and value one of the most important things: our relationship with our family. How do we show our love to our families? Are we giving our best in showing them that we care?

For the past several weeks, we have been discussing about truth and how much it impacts us. Join us as we end our "Truth Speaks" series with a Q&A with Ptr. Jim Whelchel and Ptr. Erwin Elevazo.

Have you ever thought about life after death? As we continue our series about the truth, let us discuss an important topic that we rarely talk about — the afterlife!

God lovingly answers the prayers of His people. A yes, no or even a maybe, all of His answers are filled with love and wanting nothing but the best for us. Find out more how we can ensure that we have the right understanding about prayer.

Jesus is Lord whether or not people acknowledge that fact. God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name. He is the way, the truth and the life!

Every day, we hear various information—in the news, on social media, and what people around us tell us. But, what is really the truth? How can we discern which information is the truth? And how can we share it with other people?

Prayer is a powerful means that allows us to build an intimate relationship with our Father and to be transformed in His love daily. Let us continue to grow in grace and knowledge of Christ through building beautiful habits.

A life with Christ will be bombarded by attacks from the world's standards so it is important to stay put and fight for our faith. How do we stand firm amidst the trials of this life? How do we grow in obedience and live out the Christian life? This series will encourage you to pursue a consistent reading of scriptures fueled by a strong prayer life, and taking it one day at a time.

For the past weeks, we are reminded that no matter how fast or slow we run on our career, nothing else matters if our work is not aligned with what God has planned for us. How do we apply this in our daily lives? How do we remain steadfast despite the many things we encounter every day?

The single life can be very busy and complicated. We spend a lot of time working to find success in our careers and climb up the corporate ladder thinking this will bring joy and contentment in life. But does being busy equate to being productive? How can we manage stress and truly be successful and happy at work without compromising other areas of our lives?

As followers of Christ, we are faced with a lot of challenges; high demanding jobs, difficult bosses and financial concerns but despite all of these, we remain joyful. As we have been strengthened by the true source of work Himself, we are now to share the blessings that we have received with our workmates. How can we positively influence our workplaces? How can we encourage and inspire them to do the same?

Bills left and right? Add to cart vs savings? As singles, financial concerns are one of our top priorities. There may be a lot of things we need to spend on but what is the right way of handling our money? What is God's perspective when it comes to our finances? #Blessed / #Broke

Years have passed ever since the pandemic started and things are slowly going back to normal, especially at work. From working remotely, most employees are required to be back on-site. But are we actually ready to make that shift moving forward? How do we navigate the pandemic effect and win over its repercussions? Where can we anchor our career decisions and see things in a new light?

Sa kabila ng mga isyu at problema ngayon, may pag-asa pa ba para sa tunay na pagbabago sa ating bayan?

Bilang isang mamamayan, naghahangad tayo ng kaunlaran ng ating bayan. Ngunit sa ating kalagayan ngayon, may magagawa ba tayo upang makibahagi sa pagtataguyod ng bansang ito? Ano nga ba ang mga bagay na maaari nating ialay para sa ating bayan?

Sa panahon ngayon, maugong ang tanong kung sino nga ba ang nararapat na ihalal na lider ng ating bansa. Pero ano nga ba ang mga ideal qualities and roles of a good leader based from a biblical perspective?

Sa gitna ng pagkakaiba, may solusyon ba upang magkaisa? May tamang paraan ba ng pagmamahal sa bayan? #B1GMinistry #B1GPiliPinas

We all have this innate desire to be connected, to love, and be loved. While we have our family, friends, and those in our inner circles, sometimes we wonder if there's someone who will choose us and be our lifetime partner. Do you have questions about love and relationships? Are you seeking, confused, or struggling in maintaining your relationship? #B1GMinistry #B1GLoveAccepts #LoveInAction

Pipiliin mo pa bang magmahal kung patuloy kang nasasaktan at iniiwan? Kakayanin mo pa bang magpatawad at magbigay? In spite of these, can you still serve others with love? #B1GMinistry #B1GLoveServes #LoveInAction

We often equate loving the country to serving in public office or representing it in a grand way. But no act or thought is too little if we are motivated to seek the highest good of a nation and its countrymen in our own unique ways. #B1GMinistry #B1GLoveMoves #LoveInAction

Kailangan ba laging masaktan 'pag nagmamahal? Kaya mo pa bang bumangon at magmahal muli? Loving can be hard but will you still choose to love? #B1GMinistry #B1GLoveDoes #LoveInAction

In the past weeks, we've been learning about love in discipline, the fruitful result of pruning, and the magnificent reward in abiding in Jesus through our year-end B1G Fridays series, "The Love Manifesto". But are there questions left unanswered in your heart?

When we want to be with someone, we go to lengths to get to know them. But, what does it really mean to abide in love?

Have you experienced letting go of something that you valued in order to grow or become better? At times, God takes away things in our life that inhibit our spiritual growth to help us bear fruit.

As you look back in the past year, were there instances when you felt or knew that you were being disciplined by God? How was your attitude towards it?

Love is universally wanted, but oftentimes, also misunderstood. Our notion of love has been tainted by what we see in movies or what society tells us. But in order to truly understand love, we need to go back to the Source and Model of love.

In our world today, a lot of attention is focused on being culturally-appropriate, emotionally-sensitive, and politically-correct. But when it comes to morality, where should we base our standards? How should we stand our ground on Biblical truths in a loving way?

Have you ever thought to yourself, "this is not the life that I want"? A lot of us struggle with discontent, but too often, we find sufficiency in the wrong places.

When faced with crossroads, do we place ourselves before others, or do we prioritize our own interests? While there's nothing wrong with taking care of ourselves, we could fall in the trap of entitlement and overlook other people if we're not careful.

We all want to have a life that is fruitful. But at times, we struggle to find purpose and meaning. We can be busy with a lot of things, but still feel empty and unmotivated on the inside. How can we ensure that we are living our life's purpose?

Anger is a powerful emotion. If uncontrolled, it can cause damage in our relationships. How can we deal with this and guard ourselves from anger issues?

Have you been feeling heavy, anxious, or hopeless lately? How should we handle anxiety or depression? How can we properly support our friends and loved ones dealing with these? It's time to detox! Bro. Paul de Vera shares an important message on how we can process and deal with depression for the second session of our Life Detox Series.

Have you experienced being consumed by too much worry? Have been thinking of something that it's causing your stress level to go out of control? It's now time for a Life Detox!

Words cannot adequately capture the overwhelming joy that we feel from being part of God's ministry!

We have been learning a lot about purity—understanding God's design, debunking misconceptions, identifying practical approaches, and addressing pitfalls on purity. But do you still have questions on our pursuit of purity?

How can we persevere in our purity journey in the long-run? How do we stay always on guard?

After discussing the practical ways of fleeing away from sin and pursuing purity, our third session will discuss pitfalls in our pursuit of holiness that we need to be mindful. How can we be aware of these? And if we've already fallen on sin, is there a way to be restored?

What comes to your mind when you hear the word purity? Purity is not just about being externally clean, but also covers our mental, emotional, and spiritual condition.
