Authors and lead pastors of The Village Church Matt and Lauren Chandler join Sadie and Christian to dig into marriage, healing, and the long, slow work of becoming more like Jesus. They share how the hardest years of their marriage became a turning point when they stopped trying to fix each other and started letting God heal what was broken in them. Matt also opens up about why following Jesus doesn't always look like winning, and Sadie gets real about calling, comparison, boldness, and learning to be faithful without trying to copy someone else. https://drinklmnt.com/whoa — Get a free 8-count Sample Pack of LMNT's most popular drink mix flavors with any purchase https://drinkag1.com/whoa — get a free AG1 Travel Case with 7 free AG1 Travel Packs in your Welcome Kit with your first AG1 subscription order while supplies last! - Learn more about your ad choices.

God made you unique on purpose. Today on 15 Minutes in the Word, Joyce shares how understanding who you are in Christ brings freedom and joy.
Welcome to another episode of LDS Discussions! We are joined again by Bryan Buchanan to discuss the William Clayton Diaries.The William Clayton Diaries are among the most important firsthand records from Joseph Smith's final years in Nauvoo. Few individuals stood closer to Joseph Smith than William Clayton, who served as clerk, confidant, and participant in many of the most controversial events of Mormon history. In this episode, we dive directly into the diaries themselves. We examine what Clayton recorded, what historians can learn from his daily entries, and why these journals have become central to discussions about Joseph Smith's plural marriages, the Council of Fifty, the Quorum of the Anointed, the Kinderhook Plates, Nauvoo politics, and the final months leading up to Joseph Smith's death. Along the way, we explore the lives of Joseph and Emma Smith, Margaret Moon, Sarah Whitney, Lucy Walker, Flora Woodworth, Eliza R. Snow, and many of the other figures who appear throughout these remarkable journals. We also address modern claims that the diaries were altered, fabricated, or created after the fact, and compare those claims to the evidence available to historians who have studied the original manuscript. Topics include William Clayton's relationship with Joseph Smith, evidence for Joseph Smith's polygamy, Emma's reactions and resistance to the “P” or “priesthood,” the Moon sister's involvement in polygamy, the strengths and limitations of Clayton as a source and why historians consider these diaries indispensable. The William Clayton journals offer an unparalleled window into the inner workings of Nauvoo Mormonism. Whether you are a believer, skeptic, historian, or simply curious about early Mormon history, these records provide some of the most revealing evidence available from the period. ___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals. Our overall mission is to: 1. Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology2. Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis3. Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions

“Are Christians just Protestants?” This question opens a discussion on the diverse identities within Christianity, addressing misconceptions about faith. The conversation also touches on whether Jesus had blood-relative brothers and the Catholic understanding of Mary’s perpetual virginity, alongside the differences between Catholic and Orthodox beliefs regarding the Immaculate Conception. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:15 – Are people who call themselves Christian just protestants? 05:35 – My Protestant friend said Jesus had blood-relative brothers. I said if that were true, Jesus would not have entrusted Mary to John's care at the foot of the cross. Was that a good defense? 16:10 – I'm protestant. The bible says Jesus had brothers so how do Catholics come to the conclusion that Mary was a virgin all her life? 35:00 – I'm Eastern Orthodox. What is the Catholic argument for the Immaculate conception rather than the Orthodox believe in the Dispassionate Conception, and the Catholic belief in original sin versus the Orthodox idea of ancestral sin. 51:43 – What covenant did Jesus fulfill?
Summer has a way of bringing the soul to life — warm weather, longer days, beautiful flowers, and a slower pace that invites connection. But it can also be a season when unkindness quietly takes root, especially among children and young people who are simply following the crowd. One summer, a friendship with a girl across the street gradually pulled toward making fun of other kids on the block, and though it felt terrible, fear kept anyone from speaking up. Looking back as an adult, the understanding is clearer: the girl was hurting, but that didn't make the silence right. Ephesians 4:32 gives us a command that is easy to read past: be kind and compassionate to one another. Most attention falls on the second half of the verse, the call to forgive as God has forgiven us, but the instruction to extend kindness and compassion is equally important and equally non-negotiable. Kindness costs nothing and can be given freely to anyone — an elderly neighbor, a struggling coworker, a single mom in the next apartment. This summer, whether you find yourself at the beach or close to home, the invitation is the same: stand up for what is right, extend love to the people around you, and let the Holy Spirit make you a beacon of Christ's kindness wherever you go. Today's Bible Verse "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."— Ephesians 4:32, NIV Ponder Today Kindness is a command, not a suggestion. Paul's words in Ephesians 4:32 leave no wiggle room. Regardless of the season of the year or the crowd around us, we are called to extend kindness and compassion to one another. Silence in the face of unkindness is its own kind of failure. Not participating in cruelty is a start, but standing up for those being hurt is what truly reflects the heart of Christ. This summer, choose to speak up. Kindness costs nothing and can be given to everyone. There is no shortage of people who need a kind word, a moment of genuine attention, or someone to simply notice them. Look around — the opportunity is closer than you think. You are a new creation in Christ — live like it. When old habits or old crowds try to pull you back into who you used to be, remember that your identity has been redeemed and renewed (2 Corinthians 5:17). Stand your ground in the name of the Lord. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, summertime reminds me of summers from long ago, and I do not want to repeat the mistakes of failing to extend kindness or speak up for others. Please help me to always choose kindness, compassion, and courage. I am not afraid anymore — I will do the right thing. By forgiving others and extending love, I can shine brightly for You. Please help me to be a beacon of Your love to everyone I encounter this summer. Thank You for giving me Your strength, support, and guidance. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer inspired you to make this a summer of intentional kindness, we'd love to stay connected.

[5] As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. [6] But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ [7] Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ [9] But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ [10] And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. [11] Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ [12] But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ [13] Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

“A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.” These words, uttered by a character in C. S. Lewis’ book Out of the Silent Planet, depict the joy one has in reminiscing over cherished experiences in life. Though we rightly delight in the breathtaking scenery along the path of a hike or in sharing an important milestone with a loved one, these might be merely the initial pleasure. Often, later reflection on such moments (and those like them) compound the joy of having experienced them. Perhaps this is another reason Jesus instructs His disciples to regularly share in what we call the Lord’s Supper. As He shared the Passover meal with them the night before His death, He infused it with a new layer of meaning. When partaking of the unleavened bread and “fruit of the vine,” Jesus described them as representing His body and His blood (Luke 22:18). His disciples were to share this meal regularly, doing so “in remembrance of [Him]” (v. 19). The Jewish people remember how God delivered them from Egypt through celebrating Passover (see Exodus 12:17). Those who trust in Jesus’ sacrifice retell God’s deliverance from the consequences of sin by partaking of the Lord’s Supper—a somber, yet joyful remembrance. By sharing in it regularly, we practice what it means to “remain” in fellowship with Jesus (see John 6:56) and savor the pleasure of our communion with Him.

Phil's late-night motel room mix-up became an instant Robertson classic when a stranger chose the wrong door to break into during an old Duckmen road trip. Jase and Al admit there's one long-running Robertson family tradition they've never had any desire to participate in, even after years of being surrounded by it. Jase faces a real-life test of James' command to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. The guys dig into the transfiguration of Jesus, why God's command to “listen to him” still matters, and how hearing the words of Jesus should lead directly to obeying them.

The sacrament of the Eucharist has many different names, and "each name evokes certain aspects of it." Fr. Mike explains the meaning behind this sacrament's various titles, including; thanksgiving to God, the Lord's Supper, Breaking of Bread, the Holy Sacrifice, Holy Mass, and others. All the names of this sacrament ultimately remind us that the Eucharist is both a noun and a verb. It is the Son's great sacrifice to the Father and Jesus Christ himself. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1328-1332. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

SHOWNOTES Have you ever stood at a crossroads where you knew what God was calling you to, but everything in you wanted to retreat to the safer, more comfortable path? Candace and Jason Jackson Jr. open the episode answering a listener question from Ashley, a newer Christian working her way through the Bible. Jason describes how he started reading from the perspective of the sinner rather than the savior, putting himself in the shoes of the people Jesus is speaking to instead of in Jesus' shoes. That way, he says, the message comes through and not just the miracle. The episode picks up Jason's story where last week left off. From being woken up at 9 years old to provide a clean drug test for family members, to choosing at 11 to move in with friends so his mom would have one less mouth to feed, to walking away from an NFL career at 21 years old, Jason traces a path shaped by one conviction: a job is what you get paid to do, and work is what you were created to do. Ministry, he says, is work. Jason then talks about the Kidron Valley, the Valley of Decisions, the space between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives where Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. He talks through what it means to be caught between peace and pressure, and why he believes the response in that valley is prayer. The episode also includes a second listener question from Gracie, who just turned 18 and asks for one piece of advice as a new adult. Jason tells her to serve as many people as she can, and Candace encourages her to stay honest, with herself, with others, and with God.

Isaiah 53:3–7 Our culture lionizes the powerful, the aggressive, and the bold. Meekness is mistaken for weakness, and silence under pressure is seen as defeat. But centuries before the cross, Isaiah described a Servant who would be despised, rejected, and silent—and through whose wounds we would be healed. Pastor Chuck Swindoll opens Isaiah 53:3–7 to show how Jesus fulfilled the portrait of the suffering Servant—the Lamb who went to slaughter in silence, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows as our substitute. Find your hope in the Lamb who was slain for you. True strength is not the absence of suffering but the willingness to bear it for others.

“Why does it matter if Mary is sinless?” This question opens a discussion on the significance of Marian doctrines in Catholic faith. The conversation also touches on early church beliefs regarding Mary’s perpetual virginity, responses to biblical passages that challenge her sinlessness, and how to cultivate a personal relationship with Mary and the saints. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:05 – Why does it matter for a catholic to believe Mary is sinless 13:05 – Did the early church believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary or is that a doctrine that developed over time. 17:07 – My Protestant friend cites Luke 2:48 (where Mary asks Jesus how he could do that to them at the finding in the Temple) to show she is not sinless. 23:40 – How can I have a more personal relationship with Mary, or other saints? Is that even possible in the same way it is with Jesus? 32:55 – My evangelical friends object to papal statements that say people who deny certain Marian doctrines are outside the faith. They say this is adding additional criteria for salvation. How do I respond? 42:50 – In John 20 Christ tells Mary Magdalen not to touch him because he hasn't risen to his Father yet. But later he tells Thomas to touch him. Why the different answers? 46:30 – I'm about to start OCIA. I want to lean more into a relationship with Mary. But I grew up in an Evangelical background, and it feels strange. I keep on thinking about how I need to make sure I've giving more reverence to Jesus. 52:38 – How is it that Jesus and Mary could experience the effects of original sin when they didn't have original sin?

These are two young, talented, intelligent women who got elected against all odds, against millions of dollars. Perhaps there is something we can learn from them.

Can a Christian lose their salvation? It's one of the most important—and emotionally loaded—questions a believer can ask. In this episode of our Big Questions series, we examine what the Bible teaches about eternal security, the warning passages that often cause confusion, and how to know if your faith is genuine. Join us as we explore passages from John, Romans, Ephesians, Philippians, and 1 John to discover why our confidence isn't found in our ability to hold on to Jesus, but in His promise to hold on to us.

We shouldn't be discouraged when the Lord disciplines us. He lays boundaries in our lives because He cares for us and wants us to flourish, so instead of losing heart, let's respond in prayer and thanksgiving. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses what the Bible says about praying and the different kinds of prayers we can offer. As deception increases around us, it's vital to know how to pray—and then to fill each day with invitations for God to be involved. Pastor Allen teaches through the Lord's Prayer, and he shares examples of Jesus' prayer life that we can learn from. Let's strive to be people of prayer, constantly extending invitations to our Lord.

As we close out the month, Jenna and Beth are slowing down for a conversation about rest, abiding, and remaining close to Jesus in every season. So many of us live exhausted spiritually, emotionally, and physically - and yet the Heart of Christ continues to invite us into peace, trust, and communion with Him.We'll also share a vision for Abide and where Blessed is She is heading in this next season of formation and community. Come ready to exhale, pray, and remember that you do not have to carry everything alone.Reflection Questions:What keeps me from truly resting with God?What might change if I believed Jesus was already holding what I'm trying to control?
Did Jesus teach that the Great Tribulation is still future, or was He describing events that took place in the first century? In this episode, Matt Plett examines Matthew 24:21 and the commonly misunderstood phrase "great tribulation." Rather than pointing to a future end-times event, Matt argues that Jesus was speaking about the coming judgment upon Jerusalem that culminated in A.D. 70. By examining the context of Matthew 23–24, Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees, and His repeated references to "this generation," this teaching explores how the Great Tribulation marked the end of the old covenant age and the destruction of the temple. What did Jesus actually mean—and does Matthew 24 describe our future or Israel's past?
What if marriage was never meant to be primarily about your happiness? In this episode, Dr. Kim sits down with Randy and Rozanne Frazee, authors of Encountering God's Love from Genesis to Revelation, to explore how God's design for marriage is part of a much bigger story. Together, they discuss how understanding God's love throughout Scripture can transform the way couples view their relationship, shifting the focus from chasing happiness to living out a covenant that reflects Christ's love. Randy and Rozanne share wisdom from their own marriage, practical ways couples can encounter God together, and encouragement for those who feel spiritually disconnected. You'll learn why spiritual intimacy doesn't require grand gestures, how your relationship with God directly impacts your relationship with your spouse, and why counseling can be one of the healthiest investments you make before a crisis ever arrives. Whether you're in a thriving season or feeling stuck, this conversation will help you see your marriage through a wider lens, one that is rooted in God's purpose, sustained by His love, and strengthened through intentional connection. Episode Highlights Marriage Was Designed for More Than Happiness How God's Bigger Story Gives Marriage Greater Purpose Your Relationship with God Shapes Your Relationship with Your Spouse Simple Ways to Build Spiritual Intimacy Together Why Counseling Should Be Preventative, Not Just a Last Resort Practical Steps for Reconnecting When You Feel Spiritually Disconnected Key Takeaway The healthiest marriages aren't built by pursuing happiness first. They're built by pursuing God together, faithfully living out your covenant commitment, and allowing His love to shape the way you love one another. Quotes from This Episode: Randy Frazee Quotes "The closer we move to Christ, the closer we move to each other." "Marriage is really more about sacrifice. God instills this amazing agape love in you, and your job is to pour it out to others—especially your spouse." "The pursuit wasn't happiness. The pursuit was fulfilling our covenant commitment. As a result of that, we received happiness." "When you go after the feeling of happiness, it almost always devastates the relationship you're in. When you go after the responsibility of being like Christ for the sake of others, happiness often follows." "Marriages don't drift toward intimacy—they drift toward chaos. That's why intentionality matters." "The love you have to offer apart from God will eventually get you into trouble. You need God's love flowing into you before it can flow through you." Rozanne Frazee Quotes "I can't put expectations on him because he will always let me down. God will never let me down." "Marriage in Scripture is never presented as a right. It's presented as a responsibility." "The wall of resentment goes up very quickly, but it comes down one brick at a time." "Knowing that God loves me unconditionally gives me the freedom to risk loving another person." "If you want your husband to become more of a spiritual leader, encourage what he's doing instead of criticizing what he's not doing." "As you grow closer to God, you'll naturally grow closer to each other." "Don't wait until the last minute to get help. Go early. Go often. Go preventatively." Dr. Kim Quotes "We can't put our marriage on the back burner for eighteen years while we raise kids and expect it to still be thriving when they're gone." "You'll never regret carving out intentional time for your marriage, but you will regret not doing it." "Your obedience is to God. Keep doing what God is calling you to do, whether your spouse responds immediately or not." "A thirty-second prayer, a verse of the day, a simple step—just start somewhere. God can grow it from there." "What makes the difference isn't doing marriage perfectly—it's continually coming back to God's design for it." "Sometimes the most important thing a couple can do is simply make the time to reconnect." Time to Talk About It: What is one thing you see God doing in me (your spouse) right now that you appreciate and want to encourage? Have there been times when we've expected each other to meet needs that really need to be taken to God first? What's one small thing we could do this week to be more intentional about growing closer to God together? Is there anything we've been putting off talking about that would be better to address now instead of letting it sit?

What would the existence of aliens mean for the Christian story? Kaitlyn and Mike explore whether sin only affects humans, whether other planets are part of a fallen creation, and what the Bible's big-picture story of creation and redemption might have to say about life beyond Earth. They also talk about the image of God, why intelligence is not what makes humans valuable, and why the hope of Jesus is not just personal forgiveness, but the restoration of all things. 0:00 - Theme Song 2:38 - Are Other Planets Unsinful? 12:10 - Sponsor - World Challenge - Get your 30-day devotional free from World Challenge at https://worldchallenge.org/KAITLYN 13:30 - How Does Sin Affect Creation 21:27 - Is Sin Just on Earth? 30:08 - End Credits

After Lam Wai Chan moved from his native Singapore to pastor a church in Japan, he panicked. The church had barely twenty members. In a nation known as a “missionary graveyard,” where about one percent of the nation’s people are Christian and many churches sit empty, Lam felt “like I was taking over a sinking ship.” Crying out to God, he sensed the answer: Offer the church back to Me. Rather than “update” worship or music, Wai Chan asked members to pray—for their needs, family members, friends who didn’t know Jesus. Slowly, the church doubled in size. Their faithful praying is a living, biblical model of how to build a community in Jesus. First, pray. “In every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God,” Paul wrote, “and do all of this without worry about anything” (Philippians 4:6). In this way, we offer our ministries, churches, and programs back to God. We may plant seeds and water them, but as Paul said, “Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow” (1 Corinthians 3:7). He was imploring believers at Corinth to stop quarrelling about which church leader they followed (v. 4). As Paul said, “No one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ” (v. 11). Let’s prayerfully give our churches back to Him. Then, watch them grow.
