Life brings seasons of joy, sorrow, uncertainty, and change—but one truth remains unshakable: God is there. Psalm 46:1 declares, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” No matter what happens—whether we face loss, failure, sickness, or fear—God does not abandon His children. His presence is constant, not conditional. We must remember that.Colossians 3:17 reminds us to "do everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Jesus Himself instructed believers to "do this in remembrance of me" (Luke 22:19). We must remember that God is there. He never forgets us, but sometimes we forget Him.Fortunately, God's presence is not determined by circumstances. Romans 8:38-39 assures us that “nothing can separate us from the love of God.” In every high and every low, He is Emmanuel—God with us.When storms rage and questions go unanswered, remember: God is still on the throne. He sees us, walks with us, and holds us in the palm of His hand. No matter what happens, we are never alone—because God is there.Referenced Verses: Deuteronomy 31:8Matthew 28:20Luke 22:19Colossians 3:17Joshua 1:8Joshua 1:92 Corinthians 5:20-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

This show tackles such a timely topic for children and parents alike: how to approach anxiety from a biblical perspective. My pastor, Rick Witmer, unpacks his very personal story of struggling with crippling anxiety and how the Lord lead him to write a book for children called Walking With God When I'm Afraid. The impetus for this book was one of his children's anxious tendencies, but everyone who listens will find useful/practical/biblically sound strategies for moments of stress, anxiety, and fear. Be encouraged, friends, that the Lord never leaves us to grapple with our anxiety alone.Guest Info:Rick Witmer: Sylvania Church PastorGo Buy His Book: Walking With God When I'm AfraidDon't Forget to Use the Code: ABBI25 For 25% Off At Checkout!Bible References:1 Peter 1:32 Timothy 3:16-172 Corinthians 12:92 Corinthians 10:5Romans 12:15Proverbs 4:23Matthew 15:19Deuteronomy 6:6-8Matthew 6:25-342 Corinthians 10:4Philippians 4:4-7Isaiah 26:3Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Gentleness Challenge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Paint & Prose⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠M Is for Mama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Words matter. YOUR words matter.From political rhetoric to everyday profanity, our words reveal more about our hearts than we often realize. Even secular think tanks like Third Way understand the power of language to influence. If words matter that much in politics, how much more do they matter in our walk with Jesus?In this episode of the God is the Issue Podcast, Brad Bright asks a hard question: Are you a Christian In Name Only (ChINO)? 

WEEK 4 | GIVE TIMEThe 5G Life Series | Pastor Craig TurnbullIn Week 4 of The 5G Life, Pastor Craig teaches from 1 Peter 4:7–11 on the call to Give Time. As followers of Jesus, we are not owners but stewards—managers of the time, talents, and treasures God has entrusted to us. Giving is not a peripheral activity but an essential part of discipleship and worship.This message exposes the urgency of stewardship in light of eternity, the foundation of giving rooted in Christ's sacrificial love, and the practical ways we can steward our gifts for the good of others and the glory of God. Giving is not about obligation—it's a joyful response to the grace we've received in Jesus.Key Takeaways:Giving flows from love because Christ first loved us.Every believer has something to steward for God's kingdom.Stewardship is urgent—time is short, and accountability is coming.True generosity opposes materialism and reveals the condition of our hearts.Stewardship today leads to eternal reward.Related Scriptures:1 Peter 4:7–112 Corinthians 9:6–8Matthew 6:19–21Romans 12:1–2If you've been living like an owner rather than a steward, this message calls you to surrender and give back what God has entrusted to you—for His glory and the good of His church.Need prayer?

What happens when a young woman raised under communist atheism begins to question why authorities are so afraid of a God they claim doesn't exist? Join us for Svetlana Khomiak's remarkable journey from Soviet indoctrination to profound faith in this powerful testimony.Growing up in Ukraine during the height of communism, Svetlana experienced the full force of atheist teaching—"no God, beautiful life" was the constant refrain. But a summer stay with her grandmother, who secretly hosted worship services in her rural home, planted seeds of curiosity that would eventually lead to an extraordinary encounter. Following a mysterious, supernatural guidance—worship music that only she could hear—Svetlana was led directly to a secret house church hidden in an apartment building, defying all logical explanation.Refusing to wear the red communist scarf, see the consequences of Svetlana's newfound faith and strong conviction, from persecution to a communist household transforming with God's power.Whether you're facing opposition for your beliefs or simply curious about how faith survives under extreme pressure, Svetlana's story reminds us that God will always lead genuine seekers to ultimate truth. As she quotes from Matthew 5:10, "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."Helpful links:Prayercast UkraineMatthew 7:7-8Matthew 5:10Postwar Soviet Ukraine a brief historyLet us know what you thought of the show!Follow One80 on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or our website.Never miss a One80.

A spiritual experience is closer to many than they might think — especially for the faithful. As the spiritual realm gains traction in both pop culture and faith circles, believers are increasingly asking: Is this stuff real, and how do I discern truth from fiction? While some dismiss demons, exorcism, deliverance, and the supernatural as outdated myths, countless Christians continue to share real stories of both oppression and miraculous freedom. In a world where Ouija boards are marketed as toys and TikTok teems with spiritual influencers, navigating truth from deception isn't just cultural—it's deeply personal, often painful, and undeniably hopeful.In this episode of Revelations Podcast, host Reagan Kramer sits down with Ryan Bethea, producer and host of The Exorcist Files, as well as co-host of the new podcast Heaven Meets Earth. Ryan's exploration into Catholic exorcisms and modern-day miracles offers an unparalleled look into how spiritual warfare manifests today. As a Protestant gaining insights from Catholic traditions, and through deeply researched narrative storytelling, Ryan brings humility, humor, and serious theological weight to one of the most misunderstood and scarcely discussed topics in Christianity.Be equipped with a fresh, Spirit-led perspective and practical tools to understand the realities of spiritual warfare, what deliverance looks like in real life, and how God still works through miracles today. This episode is for curious skeptics, discerning believers, and anyone hungering for more of God's power and presence.Here are three reasons why you should listen to this episode:Explore real-life encounters with demonic forces and the process of exorcism in both Catholic and Protestant contexts through the lens of spiritual warfare.Gain insight into how miraculous healing and supernatural intervention point to God's faithfulness through a spiritual experience in the modern day.Reflect on how to discern spiritual attack from psychological or circumstantial hardship—and find wisdom for your own spiritual battles.Become Part of Our Mission!

A spiritual experience can happen to anyone who believes.[05:50] Reagan's Personal Story and Connection to "The Exorcist"Reagan shares her personal story, revealing that her name is from the movie "The Exorcist."Reagan was scared when she watched the movie, but eventually became an evangelist.God uses various means to bring people to Him. The spiritual experience leading you to God may be through a movie or a personal experience.Ryan mentions the book "The Exorcist Files," which captures the gaslighting experienced by exorcists, and how it mirrors the themes in their podcast.[08:52] Exorcisms and Spiritual WarfareRyan shares his witness to a colleague's overt manifestation in a ministry setting, describing it as a strange and rare experience.There is, however, plausible deniability in miracles. God leaves room for faith.Recognizing the attacks of the Enemy can be challenging, which amplifies the importance of discernment in spiritual warfare.[15:25] Ryan: “Paul's constantly reminding us, Hey, you have an Adversary. Don't be scared, but be alert.”[19:10] The Role of Prayer and Spiritual DiscernmentRyan's co-host Abby takes a spirit-led approach to life and decision-making, including praying about everyday choices.Abby's posture of prayer and discernment inspired him to submit more of his decisions to God."Lead with Prayer" by Ryan Skoog highlights the importance of prayer in making decisions.As Christians, we must trust God's timing and be open to His guidance in all aspects of life.[21:1] Ryan: “You hear all these stories; miracles happen. They're rare by definition. They're miracles. These are not common experiences, and they take all shapes and sizes.”[24:37] Heaven Meets Earth: A Spiritual Experience“Heaven Meets Earth” had diverse guests from different faiths, which gave them a broad perspective. However, the focus was on miracles and spiritual experiences."Heaven Meets Earth" podcast had a powerful and positive impact, and even helped heal or encourage its listeners through difficult times.It would help people to normalize spiritual experiences and provide a platform for people to share their stories.Miracles happen all the time — even today in our lives. We just have to be open to God's work.[31:08] Mary and Spiritual ApparitionsGod is not the sole source of spiritual encounters. Mary also comes to people with spiritual experiences and apparitions.Ryan shares a story about a friend who received a message from Mary during a difficult time, which brought her comfort and healing.Marian apparitions have great historical significance, such as Lady of Guadalupe and Fatima.

In this episode, my friend and fellow mom + author, Laura Wifler, and I dig into a plethora of motherhood topics from a biblical perspective—listening to the Lord for direction in our callings, grief in unmet expectations, struggles which are hard but not bad, and even those which are hard and bad.Through it all, a central theme emerges: We are not victims of our circumstances, and Christ did not rise from the dead for us to wallow in our troubles—real and heavy though they are. Or, to put it more succinctly: Jesus > pity parties.Make no mistake, though, Laura knows whereof she speaks as she has walked a challenging road as a mom to a child with significant disabilities due to a rare condition. And yet, her hope is in the Lord, Maker of heaven and earth—and yours can be too, my friend. After all, as Corrie ten Boom put it, “There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still.” Sponsor Info:Voetberg Music AcademyCheck Out Voetberg Music Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Code: misformama20Guest Info: Laura WiflerInstagram - laurawiflerSite - laurawifler.comCheck Out kidlitlab.com If You Want To Write Books With Her!Bible References:Matthew 22:36-40Hebrews 12:2Psalm 232 Corinthians 12:7-101 Thessalonians 5:16-17Matthew 5:10-12Nehemiah 8:10Psalm 34:8Matthew 10:29-31Psalm 27:131 Peter 2:23Philippians 2:6-12Luke 11:2-4James 2:14-26Hebrews 4:15Isaiah 53:3Matthew 28:201 Peter 5:7Jeremiah 17:9Romans 8:37Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Gentleness Challenge⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Paint & Prose⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠M Is for Mama⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Penny Reward System⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Have you ever tried to see how close you can get to the line without crossing it? If you're saying no ... you're lying. We've all been there. This episode challenges you to stop flirting with temptation and start running toward God's truth. It's time to protect your relationship with God, redefine what “blessing” really means, and hold on to the beautiful truths that never leave you feeling like you've missed out. Obedience isn't about missing out on fun—it's about discovering what real joy, peace, and purpose look like.John 12:3-6Genesis 39:4,6-12Philippians 4:7Ephesians 5Numbers 21:6-9Mark 10Matthew 18:8,9James 4:8Matthew 11:28,29You can now also WATCH C.L.!

Our culture tells us to find a microwave to speed up the process. C.L. Whiteside, a man who sees and hears multiple perspectives through his life of coaching sports, serving in education, and attempting to conform to Christ, searches for the nonmicrowaved truth.

Finding joy in trials is a transformative spiritual principle that shapes our character and deepens our faith. When we face difficulties, whether financial, social, or personal, these challenges serve as opportunities for spiritual growth and maturity. Through the process of testing, our faith becomes stronger, much like a sword being forged through heat and cooling. The key to navigating trials successfully lies in drawing close to God, seeking His wisdom, and maintaining unwavering faith while staying connected to other believers.Key Verses:James 1:1-8Matthew 5:48Acts 1:14John 7:5Key Takeaways:Faith is tested through trials, which produce endurance and maturity.Understanding the context of scripture is crucial for proper application.Joy can be found in trials as they shape us into Christ-like maturity.God provides wisdom generously to those who ask in faith.The church community is vital for support during times of trial.Reflection Questions:What does it mean to you that 'faith is not faith until it is tested'?How can we find joy in the trials we face?In what ways can trials help us grow in our faith?Why is it important to understand the context of the Book of James?How can we discern whether a trial is meant to be overcome or endured?What role does the church community play in helping us through trials?How can we ensure our worship is sincere and costly?What practical steps can we take to draw closer to God during difficult times?Practical Application:This week, identify a trial you are currently facing and ask God for wisdom to understand whether it is a trial to overcome or endure. Seek support from your church community and commit to spending time in prayer and study of God's Word.Support the show

Listener Question:@recipefordisaster asked:“Can I show the love of Christ but still harbor bitterness in my heart? Can the two coincide?”This episode tackles a profound and relatable question. Here's what we discuss:Can God Use Imperfect People?Yes! Scripture reminds us that no one is perfect (1 John 1:8). God used imperfect, flawed people throughout history—and He can use us, too.Can God Use Rebellious People?While God can use anyone, He often chooses those who choose to follow Him (Matthew 16:24). A heart of humility and surrender is key to being fully used by Him (James 4:6).The Danger of Bitterness:Resentment is deceptive. As St. Augustine said, “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.”Bitterness, described as a root in Hebrews 12:15, doesn't just harm you—it defiles those around you.The Power of Forgiveness:Jesus offers forgiveness, which abolishes bitterness. We forgive not because others deserve it, but because Christ has forgiven us (Hebrews 12:1-2).Forgiveness is the antidote to bitterness and the key to freedom, grace, and peace in Christ.Practical Help:Clingy sins like bitterness can be difficult to shed. That's why God gave us the church—a community of believers to run alongside us in the race of faith.If you're struggling, find a godly mentor or friend to help you forgive and let go of bitterness.

Tap here to send us a message!Many in Christianity shy away from addressing the reality of eternity, yet the Bible clearly teaches that every soul will spend eternity in either Heaven or Hell. This sobering truth reveals the weight of every decision we make in this life. While the enemy seeks to lead us into everlasting torment, Jesus has lovingly prepared a place of eternal joy for those who follow and obey His Word, where they will dwell with Him forever.11/17/2024 - Sunday MorningScriptures:Matthew 13:47-51Matthew 7:13-14, 21-23Revelation 21:8Matthew 10:28Revelation 20:10Matthew 25:41Revelation 14:11II Thessalonians 1:9Acts 1:25Matthew 25:41John 14:1-2Revelation 7:9Revelation 21:21Romans 8:22, 24-25I Thessalonians 4:16-17Revelation 22:17

In this episode we talk about how the Bible is a means to the end of knowing Jesus more intimately, and we look at one specific practice we can do to approach the Scriptures this way.NET footnote on Psalm 23:6 and the word "follow" (or "pursue"): "The use of רָדַף (radaf, “pursue, chase”) with טוֹב וָחֶסֶד (tov vakhesed, “goodness and faithfulness”) as subject is ironic. This is the only place in the entire OT where either of these nouns appears as the subject of this verb רָדַף (radaf, “pursue”). This verb is often used to describe the hostile actions of enemies. One might expect the psalmist's enemies (see v. 5) to chase him, but ironically God's “goodness and faithfulness” (which are personified and stand by metonymy for God himself) pursue him instead. The word “pursue” is used outside of its normal context in an ironic manner and creates a unique, but pleasant word picture of God's favor (or a kind God) “chasing down” the one whom he loves."Scriptures referenced:Matthew 15:8John 17:3John 6:63Psalm 127:1Psalm 27:8Matthew 11:28Psalm 138:3Psalm 9:1-2Psalm 8:3-4Psalm 1:2-3Psalm 18:28-29Psalm 51:10Psalm 30:11-12Psalm 13:1-6Psalm 10:1Psalm 27:10Psalm 7:1-2Psalm 46:1-3Psalm 147:10-11Psalm 143:7-12Psalm 63:1-4, 8Psalm 139:1-16Psalm 23**CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS**I said the guy who disciples me had me write on the front cover, "I read this book to know Jesus more."
