Send us Fan Mail~ Have you ever felt like you were in a holding pattern with your dream?If you're wondering what to do with a season of waiting, this episode is for you. I'm so glad you're here.This is Part 2 of my conversation with Heather Holleman, author, speaker, and Penn State instructor who has spent decades helping women fall in love with God's Word. This half of the conversation might be the most practically encouraging thing I've shared in a long time.We pick up right where we left off in the previous episode (#363), and Heather gets honest about what to do when you're in a slow season, when your dream feels buried, and when you're not sure what the next step even is.Here's some of what we cover:The five file folder strategy Heather used during a season of preparation and how it became the foundation for everything God has built in her lifeWhat changes when you put worship before the dreamThe question Heather says every dreamer needs to askWhat I love about Heather is that she never lets the dream become bigger than the dream maker. She reminds us that we are chosen by God for His purposes and that the work He has prepared for us will come as we abide in Him, not as we hustle our way toward it.If you are a midlife Christian woman who wants to pursue a dream God has placed on your heart but you're tired of striving, this conversation is going to feel like a deep breath.Heather also pointed us to Ephesians, especially chapters 1 and 2, as a foundation for understanding who we are in Christ before we go chasing any dream. I'd love for you to read it alongside this episode.If you missed part 1, go back and listen to Episode 363. Then come back here and let Heather finish what she started. And if you're looking for a community of women who take both faith and dreams seriously, come find us at Dream Believers. It is one of my favorite places on the internet, and I'd love to have you there.
What does it mean to truly abide in Christ—and what do we do when our prayer life feels dry, blocked, or distant?In this conversation with Jennifer Barnett, we explore inner healing prayer as a tool that helps believers move into deeper intimacy with God. Jennifer shares how many Christians struggle with feeling disconnected in prayer, exhausted in their faith, or unsure whether they are truly hearing God's voice. Rather than striving harder, she invites us back to the simplicity of abiding—remaining close, dependent, and continually connected to Jesus.Together, we unpack how God gently reveals the false beliefs and inner lies that shape how we see Him and ourselves, and how healing often begins when we invite Him to “search our hearts” as in Psalm 139. Jennifer also explains that hearing God's voice is not reserved for a few—it is something we grow in over time, much like Samuel learning to recognize God's voice through Eli's guidance.This episode is a powerful reminder that prayer is not just about talking to God, but about learning to be with Him, discern His voice, and allow Him to bring healing layer by layer into our hearts and lives.In this episode, we discuss: The biblical meaning of abiding in Christ Why many Christians feel disconnected in their prayer life Healthy boundaries when discerning what comes from God How God reveals lies that keep us stuck The role of confession in spiritual healing and freedom Why speaking truth out loud can bring clarity and breakthrough Building healthy prayer cultures in our churches Connect with Jennifer Barnett: Website: Freedom Prayer Instagram: Freedom Prayer Facebook: Freedom Prayer (@freedom_prayer) Links Mentioned: Freedom Tools [book] First Freedoms: Drawing Near to God by Cultivating a Wholehearted Prayer Life [book] Get a free print copy of Jennifer Barnett's book Next Generation Prayer: Helping Youth Overcome Their Struggles — just pay shipping!

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, Isaac Hayes, Anthony Hayes, Hezekiah Hernandez Smith, and special guest Alex Courville dive into 1 John 2:24-29 and discuss the importance of staying grounded in the true gospel of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. The conversation covers everything from funny first-preaching stories and broken pulpits to deep discussion on false doctrine, spiritual deception, the role of the Holy Spirit, and what it truly means to “abide in Christ.” The brothers examine how believers can recognize false teaching, why the gospel must remain the foundation of the church, and how Christians can stand confidently in their faith while waiting for the return of Christ. Packed with humor, testimony, and biblical truth, this episode is both encouraging and challenging for believers seeking to stay rooted in God's Word.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

This is message 48 in Gospel Record of John John 15:1-17 True spiritual life and lasting fruitfulness are only possible through a continual, dependent relationship with Christ, who alone is the source of strength, growth, and life. God lovingly shapes and prunes His people through His Word so that they might bear fruit that brings glory to Him and impacts others for eternity. Joy, answered prayer, obedience, and effective service all flow from abiding closely with Him, because apart from Christ, no lasting spiritual work can be accomplished.

In this concluding message of Matthew 13, Pastor Karl unpacks the final three parables of Jesus — the Hidden Treasure, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Net — and challenges the common interpretations most of us have grown up hearing.Rather than reading these parables through a modern American lens, Pastor Karl takes us back into a first-century Jewish mindset to uncover what Jesus was really communicating. The treasure hidden in the field isn't something we purchase with our devotion — it's a picture of Jesus himself, who in joy gave everything to redeem his chosen people. The pearl of great price wasn't a treasure to the Jews at all, which is exactly the point: Jesus was revealing the shocking mystery that Gentiles — the unclean, the outsiders — would be included in the kingdom of God. And the parable of the net reminds us that not all roads lead to heaven, and that a day of separation is coming.Pastor Karl also draws a striking connection to the book of Ruth, showing how Boaz purchasing the field to gain Ruth as his bride foreshadowed what Jesus would do for his people — buying the field to possess the treasure within it.The message closes with one of the hardest passages for any pastor to preach at his own church: Jesus returning to his hometown, only to be met with familiarity and low expectation. The takeaway is pointed — low expectation limits reception. The messenger can be overlooked, but the message cannot: God chose to treasure you, not because of anything you offered, but because of the price his Son was willing to pay.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Do you have someone in your life who only reaches out when they want something? That kind of one-sided relationship feels transactional—and it's a powerful mirror for how many believers approach God. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges us to move beyond “laundry-list” praying—requests without worship, needs without thanksgiving, future-focused anxiety without remembering God's past faithfulness. When we forget what God has already done, our prayers weaken because forgetfulness reveals ingratitude—and we begin taking credit for victories only God could have accomplished. Dr. Youssef points to a pattern throughout Scripture: God repeatedly calls His people to remember—sometimes by setting up visible memorials of His provision. These “Ebenezer stones” (“stone of help”) become spiritual markers that spark renewal, revive gratitude, and draw us back into abiding fellowship with Christ. They remind us where our help truly comes from—and they re-center our hearts on God's glory, not just our requests. As you listen, ask yourself: What memorial is God calling you to set up today so you'll stay focused on Him, abide in His presence, and learn to pray without ceasing? Prayer: Father, forgive me for forgetting to take the time to praise and adore You. You have been so faithful to me. Thank You for loving me and saving me. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds” (Psalm 77:11-12).

Episode 7 of The Remnant dives into what it means to truly abide in Christ. Even when the world goes the other way, God calls us to remain faithful and stay rooted in Him.
This episode centers on the theme “Multiply,” teaching that whatever flows from a person's heart—through words, attitudes, and actions—is a seed that will eventually produce a corresponding harvest in their life and relationships. Drawing from Proverbs, the Gospels, and Paul's letters, the sermon emphasizes heart-level transformation over behavior management, encouraging listeners to seek personal repentance, ongoing dependence on Christ, and patience as new, godly seeds take time to bear fruit. The speaker explains that change is often invisible at first and may not be immediately recognized by others, but perseverance in sowing righteousness will lead to a different harvest in due season. Ultimately, the message calls believers to generously sow good seeds in every area of life, trust God with the outcome, and resist complacency by continually allowing God to do “new things” in the heart.

It is of utmost importance to know whether you are a child of God or a child of the Devil. When the children of God leave this world, they go to be with God forever; children of the Devil go to be with the Devil in eternal hell forever. There are not only two distinct families, but also two distinct futures for those families. One is heaven; the other is hell. Which will be your future?
There are many blessings that flow from abiding in Jesus. In this text, Jesus graciously shows some unexpected blessings that flow from a life that is abiding in the Vine: our prayers are answered and the Father is glorified.
This morning's GO Conference speaker is Aaron Cavin, Senior Pastor at Life Community Church and SEND Network City Missionary in Quincy, MA. Speaking from John 15:1-5, Pastor Cavin urges us to grow deep in the inward life with Christ, and then move outward in mission.
What does it truly mean to make disciples? In this powerful four-part conclusion to the Commands of Christ series, we explore the Great Commission as the crescendo of all that Jesus commanded. Rooted in Matthew 28:18–20, this series calls us to move from inward transformation to outward multiplication. As we have spent four years treasuring, meditating on, and living out Christ's commands, we now step into the command to teach others to observe all things He has taught us.Have we allowed the commands of Christ to shape our lives so deeply that we are compelled to pass them on to others? What legacy of discipleship are we leaving behind for the next generation?As we conclude this four-year journey through the commands of Christ, we are invited into the very heartbeat of discipleship: to go, to teach, and to pass on what we've received. The Great Commission is not the end—it's a beginning. Jesus calls us to treasure His commands, not only in our study and meditation, but in our obedience and our sharing (Matthew 28:18–20). We've discovered that these 51 commands are not mere rules but revelations of Christ's character, windows into His heart, and pathways into deeper relationship with Him. From abiding in Him to receiving His power, from denying self to awaiting His return, each command has formed a beautiful mosaic of what it means to follow Jesus. Now, with full hearts, we pass the baton—encouraging every listener to continue in the Word, to keep treasuring His commands, and to go make disciples. Let us walk forward with boldness, knowing that Christ goes with us, and let us live in such a way that others see Him clearly through our lives. This is not just a podcast series—it is the ongoing call of Christ. May we hear it and follow Him faithfully.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?
