Podcasts about all my hope

Episode Summary: If you think your life is too far gone, or if you’ve made too many mistakes for God to redeem, you’re going to want to listen to today’s conversation: a Sacred Scar Story. Julie knew she could spend the rest of her life in prison if she were caught crossing the border with four pounds of methamphetamine duct-taped to her waist. But life had become so overwhelming, so painful, that she no longer cared if she lived or died. So, she crossed over the border. And with her arrest as a drug smuggler that day, her years of running from responsibility -and from God - came to an end. Through one miraculous event after another, God transformed Julie from drug dealer to Hope Dealer. In her book, All My Hope, Julie wrote “It takes courage to live beyond regrets, but the good news is that God wanted to take my mess and turn it into a miracle.” Join us on the podcast as we talk about Finding Hope After Addiction, Loss, and Imprisonment. Quotables from the episode: I want you to know that nothing you face is impossible with God. NOTHING. The blood of Jesus has never lost its power. God takes our mess and turns it into a message for the world. You see, what looked like a loss was really a game, because when my leg was amputated, it was one thing that did actually send me spiraling further into addiction. In that spiraling, I ended up at the foot of the cross in the arms of Jesus. And it was in that place where I was so done with the pain and the suffering and the dumb decisions and the addiction that I was so desperate, I cried out to God to become the center of my life, or I was going to lose everything. I had lost a leg; you would think that was a lot. But I was on the way to losing my very soul and my very self. You don't realize that you're stepping into a trap of the enemy that is going to consume you and steal your identity and your very soul. Sin is enticing because sin feels good for a moment. My first use of drugs took me on a journey straight to hell on earth. Addiction runs rampant in my family on both sides. And so that first line of meth, it just had me hooked. Addiction took me further than I ever wanted to go and made me someone I never wanted to be because I ended up liking the feeling that I got when I snorted that meth so much that I would do anything. I would tell any lie, I would deceive my parents, I would tiptoe into their bedroom at night and steal $50 bills out of my dad's wallet while he slept, I would do anything for that feeling. And then that feeling doesn't last forever. I would mix it with alcohol and try to get this euphoric feeling and it was like chasing my tail. And meanwhile, I'm slowly like becoming more and more depraved. Addiction made me lose all of any sense of morals that I may have had, even as a non -Christian, even as somebody who wasn't living for Jesus. I felt the presence of God there, and in that moment and I believed in God I knew he was real and I even understood that he could see me and I think it's that little seed of faith right the Bible says that we are all born with a measure of faith and so with that measure of faith I believed in God and he was chasing me and in that moment, I felt like God told me you can't have one foot with me and one foot in the world. Well, I didn't even have one foot with him yet. That voice made me stop and really think, “Okay, I'm living this way, But God is calling me to a life with him.” Nobody ever starts off using a substance thinking, “Oh I want to become an addict.” That's the grip that addiction has. It's like an invisible hand around your throat. There's only one thing that can break the grip of addiction, and that is the love and the power and the blood of Jesus. After I lost my leg to amputation, and I just was getting more and more into a world of darkness and desperation. I took my little boy, and I moved across the country because I thought that if I could get away from the things that or hard and start over in a new place, that everything would change. The only problem was I was still there, and I was my biggest problem, but I didn't know it yet. When you're in addiction, there's all those wrong people and you flock together. I went home from that doctor's appointment in Mexico and I fell on my knees in this home that overlooked the ocean. And it was in that moment of desperation that I see all this time I had thought I was a victim of life and circumstances. I felt sorry for myself and poor me, all this stuff happened to me. And in that moment when I was so broken, it was like the Holy Spirit himself descended into my living room and pulled the blinders off my eyes. I understood in this holy moment that I was not a victim. I was a sinner in need of a savior. I realized in this holy moment that I was not a victim of life, but a sad or addiction. I was a sinner in need of a savior. I fell to my knees after that appointment in my home overlooking the ocean and in my strung-out depraved desperation when I felt the Holy Spirit descend in the living room I cried out to God, and I said “I can't meet you halfway. I can't stop drinking. I can't stop doing drugs. I need you to become the center of my life or I'm going to be lost forever.” Other inmates began to notice that the one-legged lady who passionately loved Jesus was working hard to keep her heart pure. Those inmates came to me and started asking me about this Jesus whom I loved so much. The joy on the inside of me was so infectious that everyone around me wanted some of it. Even the correctional officers started asking me about my experience with Jesus! It takes courage to live beyond regrets, but the good news is that God wanted to take my mess and turn it into a miracle. You will also need to be courageous, because life on earth is hard. You will experience loneliness, loss, temptation, rejection, and attacks. But do not fear, for I will be with you! When we’re determined to not allow our faith and our dreams to be crushed by regret, grief, and sorrow, God will be able to use our grief and sorrow to make us strong and increase our faith in Him. I would leave you listener with the perspective that when you think you are at rock bottom that is the place where Jesus if you cry out to him will come sweeping in because it was in that prison that a prison ministry volunteer walked in and told me that Jesus Christ loved me, died for my sin, and would make me a new creation, and it was in that prison that I put my hope in Jesus and became free on the inside for the very first time in my life. Rock Bottom is the place where Jesus will come rushing in and change everything. Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 5:16-17 “So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” 1 Corinthians 13:33 “Bad company corrupts good character.” Recommended Resources: All My Hope: A Prisoner No More by Julie Seals Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

What if the key to overcoming life's challenges lies in the transformative power of a name? On today's episode of "Starting Right with Danny Mac," we explore the profound impact of music and the name of Jesus through the lens of two inspiring songs performed by Maverick City Music and Tauren Wells. These songs, "There's Something About That Name" by Bill and Gloria Gaither and "All My Hope" by David Crowder, though penned decades apart, resonate with a shared message of salvation and redemption. With references to scriptures like Philippians 2:9-11 and Acts 4:12, we reflect on how the name of Jesus embodies peace, healing, and hope for us all.Here is the youtube link today's songs.                                            https://youtu.be/dAZHom9775kWe would love to hear your comments.

Welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast. I am your host, Jackie Brindle and you are listening to episode 125, with Julie Seals! Today, she is a speaker, author, and an ordained minister. She has a wonderful husband, Mike, who works with her in their Prison Ministry. Julie also leads “Her Hope Recovery Ministry”. Among all the things she does, it's the core of who she is that really shines.  And today, let me ask you a question. Have you ever said to yourself, the age old statement, “Never will I ______ (insert what you are thinking now.) Maybe you are asking yourself, “Will this bad circumstance or accumulation of a series of never ending bad breaks ever end?”  Or perhaps it's a perspective you are holding onto and need a reminder from Mark Batterson who said, don't put a period where God is placing a comma.  Julie stirs up the encouragement for all of us who can get tied down to thoughts that imprision us to believe the lies that tell us never or never will I see ______ happen.  Julie's life was not always so full of hope. She had many reasons to give up. Many reasons for the people around her to stop praying for her, and write her life off as another one who missed their opportunities in life.  Julie is a living testimony to why we should, “Never say Never!”  Julie unpacks pieces of her miraculous story, which you can hear more of from her newly released book called, “All My Hope, A Prisoner No More.” link to get your own copy is in the show notes. She also shares ways we can end the cycle of saying never and stirring up encouragement to live by faith and not by sight.  So grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run and wherever you are, BE ENCOURAGED!  Jackie  Resources:  Learn more about Julie Seals and to purchase a copy of “All My Hope, A Prisoner No More.” https://www.julieseals.com/ Follow Julie on Instagram @julieseals  Bible Verses Mentioned: Ephesians 3:20, Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 55:6-10 Follow the BE ENCOURAGED!

Friendship in our society is on the decline. The average American has fewer friends and weaker friendships than ever. For followers of Jesus, that's not just a social problem. It's also a spiritual problem. So in today's sermon, we'll explore why Jesus prioritizes friendship, why Jesus never calls anybody to follow him alone, and how we can develop the kinds of friends God wants for us.

PRODUZIDA POR JEAN DOLABELLA, BANDA BERILO LANÇA "DIVING", MÚSICA SOBRE DESILUSÕES AMOROSAS Diving” é o novo single da Berilo e faz parte do segundo fragmento do próximo disco da banda. A música conta com produção de Jean Dolabella (ex-baterista do Sepultura e atualmente na banda Ego Kill Talent). Abanda Berilo, de Uberlândia (MG) e formada pelos integrantes Isa Pimenta (vocais) e Cláudio Rocha (bateria), acaba de lançar nesta sexta-feira (08), o mais novo single “Diving”, que faz parte do próximo disco da banda. O trabalho estará disponível em todas as plataformas digitais e é um lançamento do selo musical Marã Música. A nova faixa é uma composição autoral e sucede o single “Miracle”. Os dois sons integram o próximo fragmento do futuro disco da banda, “Diving”, que assim como os mais recentes trabalhos do duo também conta com a produção de Jean Dolabella (ex-baterista do Sepultura e atualmente na banda Ego Kill Talent). “Tentamos explorar muito as evoluções de dinâmica, as frases da bateria e as melodias da voz nessa música”, explica a banda sobre a sonoridade de "Diving". A música traz um grande toque de drama e aborda o término de um relacionamento: “‘Diving' vem para assegurar aos corações partidos que eles não estão sozinhos. É uma música sobre desilusões amorosas e equilibra o lado enérgico do restante do disco, assim como ‘All My Hope', nosso segundo lançamento”. A Berilo vem vivendo uma sequência de lançamentos de singles e EP. “Diving” é o quarto lançamento do ano da banda, que se prepara para apresentar para o mundo o seu primeiro álbum e se prepara para a realização de muitos shows pelo país. “Está sendo incrível lançar todos esses materiais novos. A antecipação, a recepção e o carinho das pessoas com as músicas novas tem nos deixado muito gratos e orgulhosos do trabalho todo. Além disso, esse lançamento só aumenta ainda mais a expectativa para o disco e para os shows que estão a caminho. A energia vai ser insana”, completam. “Diving” vem acompanhado de um clipe em animação que estará disponível em breve no canal oficial da banda no youtube. “Esse clipe é uma produção um pouco diferente. É a primeira vez que trabalhamos com animações. Por enquanto o spoiler é esse e vai ser uma pedrada”. Sobre o que esperam para este lançamento, a banda conta: “A expectativa está muito alta. Desde antes da pré-produção, essa música já era uma das queridinhas do disco. Também estamos empolgados para saber como anda o coração das pessoas que ouvem nosso som, e nada melhor do que uma música sobre desilusão amorosa para isso”, finalizam. A banda Berilo, de Uberlândia (MG), que nasceu de uma mistura de pop e rock, é formada pelos integrantes Isa Pimenta (vocais) e Cláudio Rocha (bateria). Os riffs presentes nas faixas têm influências de clássicos e contemporâneos como Guns n' Roses, Linkin Park e Royal Blood. As harmonias e melodias têm raízes no gospel e a rítmica nasceu de Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon e, pasmem, Phil Colins. Isso tudo e refrões com influências pesadas de Lady Gaga, Kt Tunstall e Paramore são a base inclusive do próximo disco da banda, que estará disponível ainda este ano. O primeiro single lançado pelo grupo foi “Satellite” (2019), seguido de “The End” (2020), o primeiro EP “Inner Space” e a faixa “Drop the Rope”, também disponível em todas as plataformas digitais. Os mais recentes lançamentos da banda são o single “Get Over It”, o EP “All My Hope” e as faixas “Miracle” e “Diving”.

At the heart of AT YOUR SERVICE today are two stories from the Gospel according to St Matthew - both involve miracles, but one of them involves taking a leap of faith - it's the story of Jesus walking on the stormy waters of the Sea of Galilee, and disciple Peter trying to do the same. For Reverend Jo Dudley (Vicar of Christ Church in Laxey) this story took on a whole new significance after she had the chance to actually be in a boat on the Sea of Galilee. But for Pioneer Minister Reverend Alex Brown, walking on the water - taking a leap of faith - is something he tries constantly to do. He tells his fascinating story in today's programme. And there's music too, including more listeners' choices - All My Hope on God is Founded, Jesus Calls Me O'er the Tumult and Oceans by Hillsong Worship.

With songs like "Goodness of God," "All My Hope," How Great is Our God," and "Whom Shall I Fear," Ed Cash has been an influential song writer and producer for many worship songs that have impacted the church worldwide. In this interview, Ed shares his story about his unintentional journey into Christian music and shares the inspiration behind some of his most famous worship songs. Plus, this week's team talk features discussion around all the ways we use transitions in worship.   

Music included in this recording: "Asperges me" - Gregorian Chant (Mode 7) Chant at the Sprinkling of Holy Water Lyrics: You will sprinkle me with Hyssop, O Lord, and I shall be cleansed; you shall wash me, and I will be made whiter then snow. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your great mercy. “All My Hope on God is Founded” - Joachim Neander (Herbert Howells) Lyrics: All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. Human pride and earthly glory, sword and crown betray his trust; what with care and toil he buildeth, tower and temple, fall to dust. But God's power, hour by hour, is my temple and my tower. God's great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light, and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from his store new-born worlds rise and adore. Daily doth th' Almighty giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; his desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at his hand; joy doth wait on his command. Still from earth to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all: ye who follow shall not fall.

The guests in this episode are the writers and performers behind Passion, the worship team that leads Passion Conference. This faith-based event stemmed out of Passion City Church in Atlanta over 20 years ago and has brought together more than 32,000 students from 700 universities and 35 countries. Kristian Stanfill, Melodie Malone and Brett Younker share their perspectives on writing worship music with inspiration from their faith and why business comes second to the mission of creating engaging and honest worship songs. Their newest collection, “Whole Heart,” topped #1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Album’s charts and speaks to the various elements of God’s character and vision for Passion Conference. I loved talking with them about how they came together as a team and the message they hope to bring to listeners and Passion Conference attendees. Visit www.passionmusic.com for news on music, upcoming Passion Worship Nights and conference dates. And of course pick up the latest album Whole Heart. The live recording of Whole Heart includes “God, You’re So Good,” “All My Hope,” “More Like Jesus,” “Reckless Love” and “Almighty God.”

Exaggerated claims abound these days. You can't turn on the news for a few minutes without hearing overstatements on all sides...and don't get me started about "teenager-speak." Crowder in his song, "All My Hope," asks us to sing along with quite a claim...the claim that ALL our hope is in Jesus. This week we explore whether or not we place ALL our hope in Jesus. We also consider just what kind of hope we've been given. You will be encouraged and challenged as we consider our living hope and where it asks us to fix our eyes. On this episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Consider the opposite Read in context Observation Ask Questions Complete a word study Pray Pondering what we put our hope in other than Jesus Discovering our hope is living in 1 Peter 1:3 How we tend to jump straight to application without developing our ability to observe and interpret Scripture properly first The word study for "hope" - BibleHub.com An uncomfortable perspective - 1 Peter 1:6-7 The joy that comes from our living hope - 1 Peter 1:8-9 The perspective of the prophets who could see the salvation that was ultimately for US - 1 Peter 1:10-12 Another song that warns of putting our hope (faith) in the wrong things and reminds us to hope (place our expectation) in the Lord - Psalm 146     Additional Resources Download the single or album Lyrics and chords for "All My Hope" by Crowder - Worship Together Story behind the song "All My Hope" by Crowder - FreeCCM Article and Video This Week's Challenge Spend some time in 1 Peter chapter 1 this week.

Really dive into all of the details of this larger chunk of Scripture and note anything new that jumps out at you.
