Why did President Trump take the U.S. to war with Iran, and how should Bible-believing Christians think about it? In this episode, Dennis and Ashleigh walk through the reasons behind the decision, America's relationship with Israel, and how the conflict could shape the upcoming midterm elections. We look at what's driving the headlines, how Christians can think biblically about war and national leadership, and why we believe believers should generally support the President's direction, without handing our conscience over to any politician or party. If you've felt confused by the coverage or pulled between the loudest voices online, this conversation will help you think it through. New episodes every Friday.

Is prayer your first response, or has it become your last resort?In today's episode, Mary Alessi takes us into James 5:13–18 and reminds us that prayer has a place in every season of life. When we're suffering, we pray. When we're joyful, we praise. When we're sick or struggling, we invite trusted believers to stand with us in faith. Whatever season we find ourselves in, James encourages us to turn toward God, not away from Him.We'll be reminded that asking others to pray for us isn't weakness. It's an act of faith and humility. Like Elijah, we are ordinary people praying to an extraordinary God, and even when we don't immediately see the answer, we can continue praying and trusting Him with the outcome.Let's join in prayer and devotion as a community, asking God to make prayer our first response in every season and give us the faith to keep praying, keep trusting, and keep turning toward Him.Tap HERE to send us a text!

Does having children determine who you should date—or is love more complicated than a checklist? This week on Oh That's Deep: Black Women Conversations, Jănine and Nicole kick things off with the joyful recap of Nicole's wedding weekend in Port Antonio, Jamaica. From unforgettable food and nonstop dancing to heartfelt vows and a beautiful new chapter, a time was definitely had! In “What's on Our Timeline?”, a viral debate sparks some real questions: Should women with children leave childless men for childless women? Jănine and Nicole unpack dating preferences, double standards, blended families, and the importance of understanding the why behind your relationship requirements. Are your boundaries protecting your peace—or closing the door on a meaningful connection? In “Letters From Our Listeners,” a divorced mother says she's open to dating fathers—but only under certain conditions. Is she being honest about what she can handle, or expecting someone else's parenting responsibilities to fit neatly into her life? The ladies weigh in on compatibility, co-parenting, and protecting the stability you've built for yourself and your child. Finally, the “Motivational Moment” invites some honest self-reflection: Having preferences doesn't make you a hypocrite, but are you willing to offer the same acceptance you're asking someone else to give you? Until we meet again… Pray. Work. Slay. And show off your melanated excellence. Find more shows like this on the Mean Ole Lion app. Follow, rate, comment, and share.

We’ve all been treated unfairly. Maybe they let us down, they put us down, they kept us down. And we may have paid a dear price for it. Maybe it happened 20 years ago . . . or 20 minutes ago. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out what it does to us when we carry that burden of resentment. We’ll look to the words of Jesus Himself and find a way to set ourselves free from that bondage. We’ll see forgiveness sets a person free. Not the perpetrator, the victim. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

In this Bible Story, Jesus heals a man who was blind from birth. The young man who is healed is then questioned by the Pharisees, for they do not want to admit that Jesus is truly good and had the power to heal. The once blind man stands firm in declaring that no evil man could do what Jesus did. This story is inspired by John 9:1-38. Go to https://www.BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is John 9:25 from the King James Version.Episode 196: As Jesus and His disciples were passing through the streets of Capernaum, they passed by a man who had been blind since birth. The disciples, misunderstanding the man's condition, thought that his blindness was a result of sin. But Jesus proved to them that the man was not blind because of sin but rather so God could be glorified in healing him. After Jesus had healed the man he was brought in front of the Pharisees to be questioned about his newfound sight. But as they were questioning the formerly blind man, his honest answers revealed their spiritual blindness.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

A declining follower count or an unexpected unfollow can stir up feelings of loneliness, rejection, and insecurity. But our value is not determined by social media approval or by how others choose to treat us. God sees us, loves us, and invites us to bring our hurt to Him. Matthew 7:12 teaches us to treat others the way we want to be treated, both online and in person. While we cannot control other people’s choices, we can choose how we respond when their actions hurt us. Instead of returning rejection with rejection or allowing bitterness to take root, we can seek God’s comfort, practice kindness, and remember that our identity is grounded in Christ. When social media leaves us feeling disconnected or discouraged, God offers refuge, healing, and a love that does not depend on followers, friendships, or approval. Highlights Why being unfollowed or unfriended on social media can trigger feelings of rejection How social media approval can influence the way we view our worth Why our identity and value come from God rather than other people’s opinions What Matthew 7:12 teaches about treating others with kindness online and in person How to bring feelings of hurt, loneliness, and rejection to God Why responding to hurt with kindness is more consistent with following Jesus Encouragement to find comfort in God’s unfailing love when relationships change Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: Unfollowing Social MediaBy Vivian Bricker Bible Reading:“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12). Each time I see my follower count go down on social media, I automatically feel like the little kid I was in sixth grade. My feelings get hurt, and I start feeling bad about myself. Depending on who the person is, it can hurt even worse. Recently, I had someone I thought was a real friend unfollow me. Their unfollowing caught me off guard, but I figured that, like everyone else, they didn’t like me much either. Even though this person chose to unfollow me, I didn’t choose to unfollow them back. Clicking the unfollow button is intentional, often with the thought that you don’t care about the person anymore. Since social media is one of the main ways we connect with others today, unfollowing someone can feel similar to leaving their life and choosing not to engage with them anymore. Even though I am an adult and I’m doing better mentally than I have in a long time, I cannot shake the pain it brings when someone I thought was a friend disconnects from my life. However, while talking with a wise friend, she told me that they were never really my friends to begin with. This was the second time someone had said something like this to me, which showed me that God was trying to tell me something. We don’t need to seek approval from humankind. Instead, we must remember that God already accepts us as we are. If other people don’t like us, that’s okay. And if they are offended when we share our honest feelings, then that’s okay, too. However, that doesn’t mean what they did didn’t hurt us. In truth, when a friend unfollows us, it can make us feel worthless. Bring these feelings to God and set them at His feet (1 Peter 5:7). Tell Him how their words and actions hurt your feelings. It is enough to say, “Lord, my friend unfollowed me, and it makes me feel awful.” God will meet you where you are and cover you with His support. As the Bible says, “He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart” (Psalm 91:4). Intersecting Faith & Life: The Lord tells us, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” (Matthew 7:12). This passage is now known as the “Golden Rule.” It is often taught in schools to help children learn how to treat others well. As followers of the Lord, He doesn’t want us to hurt others with our actions. He wants us to extend kindness, love, and support. Even if other people hurt us, we must turn the other cheek (Matthew 5:38-40). Just because they are mean and hurtful toward us doesn’t mean we need to return the pain (1 Peter 3:9). If we don’t want others to be mean to us, unfollow us, or unfriend us, we don’t need to do those things to others. By filtering our actions and words through the Word of God, we will be able to truly shine brightly for Jesus. Has anyone ever unfollowed you? How did that make you feel? How can you start treating others the way you want to be treated, both in person and online? Pray with me: Dear Jesus, other people have unfollowed me on social media in the past, and it is very hurtful. It makes me feel like I’m worthless. Please help me to remember that my worth is in You and that You will love me always. Help to turn my heart away from evil and turn it toward You. Equip my heart with the ability to treat others the way I want to be treated and to repay evil with blessing. In Your Name, I pray, Amen.

Have you ever walked away from a moment and thought, Why did I say that? Why did I act that way? Stress, fear, and overwhelming circumstances can affect us more than we realize. And surprisingly, David knew exactly what that felt like. In this episode, I’m unpacking Psalm 34 and the very relatable story behind it. We’ll talk about what David did when life became overwhelming, why seeking God is different from simply seeking relief, and how God meets us without shame, even when we haven’t handled things perfectly. If life feels a little crazy right now, Psalm 34 offers practical truth, hope, and a way forward.

Xo, Donna Key Takeaways: 0:01:55 - When Life Makes You Crazy: Even David Lost It 0:07:55 - Seek the Lord, Not the Rescue: He Does the Delivering 0:08:50 - Deliverance Is a Birth, Not Amazon Prime 0:10:10 - Radiant, Not Ashamed: God Convicts but Never Shames 0:12:30 - Jesus Camps Around You: Taste and See That He's Good What We Talk About The surprising backstory behind Psalm 34 Why David fled into enemy territory and pretended to be insane What David did after fear and circumstances got the best of him The difference between seeking deliverance and seeking the Lord Why God’s deliverance can take time How to recognize the difference between conviction and shame What it means to look to God and become “radiant” Why desperation can lead us into deeper prayer What “taste and see that the Lord is good” looks like in real life Using Psalm 34 as a go-to passage when life feels overwhelming What to Do When Life Makes You Feel a Little Crazy Seek the Lord. David didn’t say he sought deliverance, he said he sought the Lord, and the Lord delivered him from his fears. Trust the process. Deliverance isn’t always like Amazon Prime. Sometimes it’s more like delivering a baby, it develops over time. Just because you don’t see immediate change doesn’t mean God isn’t working. Look to God instead of looking at your shame. God convicts us, but He doesn’t shame us. When we turn our eyes toward Him, we’re reminded of His love, acceptance, and help. Pray when you’re desperate. You don’t have to wait until you have it all together to pray. Desperation can be the very thing that drives you to seek God. Take refuge in Him. Don’t just know about God’s goodness. “Taste and see” it for yourself by experiencing His presence and trusting Him in the middle of what you’re facing.

Jesus routinely met and ate with people who we would refer to today as very, very lost. They were the most despised people of that day. And yet, Jesus had no issue with spending time with them. Our workplace is not only a place to make a living, but also a place God has ordained for us to make relationships, build trust, and grow friendships – especially with pre-believers. Often, the workplace is where we have the greatest opportunity to influence those who don't know Jesus, and who are struggling or dying without Him. How many people would Jesus have already invited to lunch if He worked at your place? Look with His eyes. Pray for courage to introduce yourself to those He shows you, and don't forget your/(you're) light, as His Word works in you, today.
What happens when you realize you can't control everything around you, but you can change how you respond to it? In this episode of UNITED State of Women, Julie Deem shares five lessons from Priscilla Shirer's Fervent that have been helping her navigate life after divorce as a single mom, business owner, and woman raising two young girls. Julie gets honest about what it looks like to fight for your life and your future. FAQ:How can prayer help during a difficult season?Prayer can give you a place to bring the things that feel overwhelming, especially the situations you cannot control. Being specific about what you need can help you intentionally surrender those concerns to God.How do you rebuild your identity after divorce?Start by separating your identity from what you lost. Divorce can change your circumstances, relationships, finances, and routines, but it does not have to determine your purpose or who you are moving forward.How can I pray for my children during a difficult season?Pray specifically for your children, their relationships, their emotions, their decisions, and the things you cannot control. Prayer can become a way to release the responsibility of trying to manage every experience they have.Book Mentioned: Fervent by Priscilla Shirerhttps://www.christianbook.com/fervent-battle-serious-specific-strategic-prayer/priscilla-shirer/9781433688676/pd/688676Learn more about the latest tool for dynamic professionals in the self-improvement industry, LyfQuest.
