After sitting down in a synagogue in Pisidian Antioch, Paul is asked to speak and he takes the opportunity to preach to them about Jesus the Messiah.

As Jesus Christ's Apostle to All Nations and Generations, I testify that in Genesis 3–4 and Moses 4–5, we see the divine pattern of agency, sacrifice, repentance, and redemption revealed in its purity. Adam and Eve stepped into mortality with faith, courage, and understanding, rejoicing in the Savior who would redeem them.I testify that the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was taught to Adam and Eve, and to their children by holy angels. The doctrine of Christ—faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end—was established from the beginning. Satan has always sought to destroy this truth, but the Lord has restored it in every dispensation and has restored it again in our own day.I testify that all who follow the gospel plan will be redeemed through the blood of the Lamb, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and prepared to inherit eternal life.I testify that Jesus Christ lives.

Most of what matters most in life and faith takes a long time to build and very little time to lose. Strength, trust, character, and spiritual stability are formed slowly, but they can erode quickly when perspective is lost.In this episode of The Mobilized Church Podcast, we talk about why long-term perspective is essential for discipleship, leadership, and church health. We explore how short-term thinking leads to reactionary decisions, discouragement, and abandoning good processes too early, while endurance and faithfulness over time produce stability.Faith is not formed in moments but across a lifetime. Perspective does not remove pain, but it does prevent panic.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. SUMMARY “Aggressive Submission: The Path to Kingdom Authority” explores the foundational truth that spiritual authority flows directly from submission—first to God, and then to Christ expressed within His body. Authority is not something we seize, claim, or declare independently; it is released through a mature, intentional, and ongoing surrender of our will to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The discussion emphasizes that true submission is not passive or coerced but aggressive—a deliberate choosing of obedience, accountability, and alignment with God's order. As believers mature, they become personally responsible for maintaining submission in spirit, resisting individualism, and remaining connected to the body of Christ. This shared submission creates a pure spiritual atmosphere where Christ's authority moves through His people as one, establishing His kingdom on the earth. SHOW NOTES • Authority is given by God and expressed through obedience to what He speaks to our hearts • Submission is progressive; deeper submission brings greater authority • Christ Himself modeled aggressive submission to the Father • Submission is relational and lived out within the body of Christ • Spiritual maturity requires personal responsibility for one's spirit • Authority in the Kingdom is ordered, not equal • Revelation must be confirmed within the body • Apostolic and fivefold ministries equip the saints • A pure spiritual atmosphere is formed through shared submission • God is bringing His people into chosen maturity KEY QUOTES “We move in the degree of authority that we've submitted to.”“Christ was aggressively submitted to the Father.”“Submission is not passive—it's a demand you place on your own spirit.”“If we are truly submissive like Christ was, there's no limit to the authority that can move through us.”“Revelation without confirmation takes you out of the body.”“The kingdom of God is not in the sky—it's here, and it's real.”“A pure atmosphere is created when we submit our hearts to the Lord and walk as one.” SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES Luke 22-42  “Not My will, but Yours be done” Ephesians 4-11to13  Fivefold ministry equipping the saints toward maturity Matthew 16-16 to19  Revelation as the foundation of the Ecclesia Judges 21-25 – Every man doing what is right in his own eyes 1 Corinthians 14-29 – Confirmation through two or three witnesses 1 Corinthians 15-24 to 28 – Christ submitting all things to the Father TAKEAWAY...

One In Spirit | ആത്മാവിൽ മാത്രം | Morning Glory 1820 | Br. Damien Antony | Christian Devotional

“Why does God allow evil?” This question challenges many, and Christian philosophers have offered various responses. Additionally, the discussion touches on the nature of the spirit and its consciousness, the concept of apostolic succession and its documentation, and how to articulate the differences in understanding the Eucharist to those unfamiliar with it. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 01:30 – Atheists often argue that evil is evidence against God. If God were all-good, they argue, then no evil would exist. Christian philosophers have given a plethora of responses to this objection. But I was wondering how would Dr. Karlo respond. 15:21 – What is the spirit? What does the Church teach about this and does it teach whether the spirit is conscious? 21:23 – Apostolic succession. Which document shows this unbroken line of papal succession? How could you prove this to a protestant? 36:32 – I'm in RCIA. How do I explain the differences in understanding of the eucharist to someone who is not familiar with it? 47:20 – Regarding God's omniscience. Is there ever a point where God knows everything we will do before he creates us?

In this episode, Dr. Nathaniel J. Wilson reflects on the rapid pace of 2026 and challenges the apostolic movement to redeem the time through strong local churches, spiritual authority, and doctrinal clarity.

Divine Shield | ദൈവിക പരിച | Malayalam Christian Messages | Morning Glory 1815 | Br. Damien Antony

Every church feels the tension between structure and spontaneity. When we lean too heavily into programs, the organic life of discipleship begins to shrink. When we lean too far into relational ministry without systems, things drift and become unmanageable. Most leaders end up stuck in that constant swing between order and chaos.In this episode, we talk about why that tension exists and why it is not a problem to solve but a balance to steward. Drawing from the Healthy Missional Ecosystem framework, we explore how private missional life, XGroups, LifeGroups, and corporate gatherings are designed to work together as one connected rhythm. Each space carries something essential and when one is neglected, the whole mission suffers.This conversation will help pastors and leaders see why healthy churches are not built by choosing between structure and Spirit but by creating an environment where both can thrive. When the ecosystem is aligned, disciples are formed, mission stays active, and the church grows without losing its soul.

In this episode of the Living Well podcast, host Liv Hill and guest Tiffany Bingham explore the intricate connections between recovery, addiction, neuroscience, and mental health.

The conversation also delves into the concept of rest, self-care, and the role of willpower in maintaining healthy habits, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to well-being. In this conversation, Tiffini Bingham and Olivia Hill explore the intricate relationship between willpower, stress, nutrition, and addiction. They discuss how willpower is a finite resource that can be depleted by stress and decision-making fatigue. The conversation delves into the emotional roots of addiction, emphasizing that addiction is often a trauma response. They highlight the importance of replacing unhealthy habits with healthier ones and the necessity of addressing emotional issues to achieve lasting change. The discussion encourages listeners to seek help and develop supportive habits for a healthier lifestyle.

The collision between leadership expectations and spiritual formation is a pressing concern that requires careful examination. As we delve into this episode, Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner elucidates the phenomenon wherein expectations solidify more rapidly than leaders can foster spiritual growth within their communities. This discord often leads to heightened pressure as leaders transition from an emphasis on vision to a focus on the complexities of interpersonal dynamics. Dr. Skinner advocates for a deliberate slowing down, urging leaders to prioritize discernment and shared responsibility over immediacy. Through this discourse, we aim to illuminate the significance of healthy leadership that is anchored in faithful formation, thereby equipping pastors, church planters, and ministry leaders to navigate the arduous terrain of growth and change with clarity and intention.When-Expecatons-Collide-with-FormationDr. Skinner, here are clean, ready-to-publish show notes built directly from your transcript and outline. The tone stays pastoral, clear, and grounded in formation rather than hype.––––––––––––––SHOW NOTES––––––––––––––Episode TitleNavigating Leadership in Church PlantingThe Dynamics of Expectations and FormationEpisode SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Jeffery D. Skinner explores what happens when leadership expectations outpace spiritual formation. Church planters often move from vision-driven energy into people-centered complexity faster than they expect. Expectations harden. Systems form. Pressure increases.Dr. Skinner names this collision honestly. He invites leaders to slow down, clarify formation, and resist urgency. Healthy leadership requires discernment, shared ownership, and faithfulness over speed. Formation does not remove pressure, but it does reshape how leaders carry it.This episode speaks directly to pastors, planters, and ministry leaders navigating growth, resistance, and the quiet cost of change.––––––––––––––KEY TAKEAWAYS––––––––––––––• Expectations harden faster than formation• Leadership pressure shifts from vision to people• Discernment requires time, conversation, and restraint• Systems quickly reinforce what leaders reward• Apostolic leadership disrupts comfort for faithfulness• Formation redistributes responsibility and ownership• Healthy leaders protect margin and resist urgency• Change creates real grief and loss for some followers• Naming shifts clearly builds trust and reduces anxiety• Faithfulness to formation sustains leaders long-term––––––––––––––CHAPTERS––––––––––––––00:00 Introduction to Expectations and Formation03:17 Navigating Leadership Pressures05:14 The Role of Apostolic Leadership08:07 Formation vs. Expectations11:25 The Cost of Leadership Change14:17 Conclusion and Future Insights––––––––––––––SOUND BITES––––––––––––––“Expectations collide with formation.”“Healthy leaders name formation clearly.”“Formation invites others to grow up.”––––––––––––––AUTHORS & LEADERS MENTIONED––––––––––––––Brian ZahndAuthor and pastor known for emphasizing Christ-centered discipleship, nonviolence, and spiritual formation.Recommended works:• Postcards from Babylon• Sinners in the Hands of a Loving GodWebsite:https://brianzahnd.comAlan HirschMissional thinker and leadership strategist focused on apostolic leadership and movement-based church structures.Recommended works:• The Forgotten Ways•...

Apostolic leadership serves as a catalyst for the disruption of settled expectations within church communities. This episode elucidates the premise that such leadership does not aim to maintain comfort within established systems, but rather to uphold faithfulness to core principles. Comfort, as we contend, poses a significant impediment to the vitality of church planting and outreach efforts. When congregants become complacent, their engagement diminishes, thus stymieing the potential for growth and outreach. We acknowledge that while systems can provide structure and support, they may also cultivate an atmosphere of ease that is antithetical to the essence of a life committed to the teachings and challenges inherent in a crucified existence.Coming Monday on Echoes Trough Eternity we will discuss In this episode of Echoes Through Eternity, we explore what happens when spiritual formation begins to reshape your pace, your availability, and your leadership—while others still expect the version of you that ran on urgency.Drawing on the wisdom of Jesus, Alan Hirsch, Henri Nouwen, Richard Rohr, and lived pastoral experience, this conversation names the quiet collision between formation and expectation.If you are leading with care, protecting your soul, and feeling tension instead of applause, this episode is for you.Formation always disrupts assumptions.The question is whether you will stay faithful when it does.
