What does it really mean to be “spiritual”?In today's culture, spirituality can mean meditation, manifestation, energy work, mindfulness, or simply being open and expansive. But not everything labeled spiritual comes from the same source. In this episode of The Vibrant Living Podcast, I continue the Lies We Believe series by exploring a foundational truth: there are not infinite spiritual paths. There are two kingdoms. The Kingdom of Light operates through a relationship with God, surrender, and divine authority. The counterfeit kingdom imitates what God created but operates through technique, control, and human will as ultimate authority. This conversation is not about fear. It is about clarity. When you understand source, authority, and purpose, you regain spiritual discernment and alignment.In This Episode, You'll Hear:• Why the word “spiritual” means different things depending on who is using it• How deception often appears enlightened rather than dark• The difference between relationship-based faith and technique-based spirituality• Three diagnostic questions to help you discern source and authority• Why Jesus being “the way” is not about restriction, but protectionA Question to Reflect OnWhen did your definition of “spiritual” begin to shift? And what disappointment or experience influenced that shift? Discernment begins with honesty.About the SeriesThis episode is part of the ongoing Lies We Believe series, where I address subtle spiritual assumptions shaping how we live, lead, and relate to God. Each teaching is designed to bring clarity, strengthen spiritual authority, and re-anchor identity in Christ.Connect with MeWatch the full teaching on YouTubeExplore more resources at www.iVibrantLiving.com

Welcome back to the Be Encouraged! Podcast! You are listening to esode # 7 and final episode of the Believe series called, God's Way is BetterIsaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”Are you in a season of waiting, wondering if all your creating, doing, and striving is making a difference? This episode gently reminds us that God is the ultimate Creator—and that His plans are far better than the ones we could ever imagine for ourselves. Through personal testimony, biblical truth, and reflective encouragement, I am inviting you to examine whether your efforts are aligned with God's calling… or if you've been trying to do it all on your own.We'll talk about:The difference between creating or working with God versus creating or working for ourselves.Why listening, obeying, and surrendering are keys to unlocking true peace and purpose in Christ. How the book of Isaiah shows us hope and redemption, even in seasons of silence and uncertainty.Practical ways to discern your priorities and realign your creative plan with God's plan.Whether you're a mom, teacher, student, artist, or a dreamer—this one's for you. Because your work, when surrendered to God, does matter. He sees you. He's not finished with you. And His way? Always better!Reflection Questions:Am I creating for God's glory or my own?Do I trust God enough to surrender my timelines, goals, and expectations to Him?What do I need to lay at Jesus' feet today?Mentioned in this Episode:Elisabeth Elliot's words: “Trust and Obey.”The power of creative rest and trusting God's timing.Encouragement for those waiting on job doors to open or clarity to come.Takeaway Quote:"When we walk by faith, we surrender our view and trust God's.

"God Cares About You" — Be Encouraged! PodcastHave you ever felt like God just… doesn't see you?Like you're doing all the right things, but still feeling unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed with worry? Same. I've been there—wondering if God really cares about the pain I'm feeling, the prayers I'm praying, and the things I'm still waiting for.But today, we're resting in this truth from 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT):“Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.”This verse has been such a balm for my soul lately, and in this episode, I want to walk with you through what it really looks like to live this out. Not just reading it, but believing it. Deeply. Personally.We'll talk about:The real-life moments that make us question if God truly sees us (yes, even tantrums in the grocery store and the sting of being left out)How we sometimes carry around things God never meant for us to holdWhy casting our cares on Him starts with humbling our heartsAnd I'll leave you with 3 simple takeaways to help you come back to this truth: God cares for you. Deeply. Intimately. Always.Whether you're in a season of waiting, worry, or weariness—this one's for you, friend.✨ Here's what we're holding on to:Remind your heart of who God is and what He's already done.Cast it out (and don't reel it back in --- Let it go, for real!)Trust Him with the parts of your story you can't see yet.Because the truth is—God doesn't need us to have it all together. He just wants our heart. He wants to carry what's too heavy for us. Why? Because He cares about you.

Have you ever wondered about what it must feel like to be filled by the Holy Spirit? On Pentecost Sunday, Jacintha speaks about who the Holy Spirit is - that He gives generously to all people, that He compels us to go to all places, that He is a gentle person of power, and that He loves to move in the gathering of a unified people.Acts 1 & Acts 2

Welcome to the Be Encouraged! Podcast. I am your host, Jackie Brindle and you are listening to the Believe Series. This is a seven part series. Today is episode # 5 in the Believe Series. This episode is so special! I believe there is something beautiful about the start of something new, thinking about how things began, and dreaming up how the story will end. Recently, I've been doing a deep dive into my family tree — asking questions I wish I had asked my grandmother when she was still here. Things I didn't think mattered when I was 17… but now, at 40, I find myself longing to know where I came from and why it matters.But as I searched for the beginning of my story, it stirred something deeper in me — a curiosity about the beginning. Who wrote all of this? Who dreamed me up before I ever existed?Have you ever asked these questions before? Have you ever wrestled with God with things you don't understand that happened to us in life or in the Bible, too? This episode of the BE ENCOURAGED Podcast is personal. It's a reflection on identity, legacy, and the One who authored it all — God. From Genesis to today, He's been writing a story of redemption, new beginnings, and purpose… even in the messy parts.If you're in a new season — expected or not — I pray this reminds you: God is in the new. He's in the unknown. He's in the questions. And He's not afraid of your wrestle.Ask Him. Seek Him. I promise, He'll meet you there.

What does it mean to believe in the Son? In the second part of our “We Believe“ series, Mark draws on John 1 and the Nicene Creed to explore how the Son both reveals the father and renews our humanity.John 1:1-5,9-14,16-18

In this sermon, Abel begins the We Believe series by setting the context for why the Nicene Creed matters in our Christian faith, and how our shared beliefs unite us with the wider body of Christ. We begin with the teaching on God the Father, who is the source and sustainer of all things, who is all-sufficient and sovereign.Deuteronomy 6:4Genesis 1:1Luke 15:11–32Colossians 1:15-17Hebrews 1:3

Welcome back to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast. We're halfway through the year, and maybe you're still holding tight to those big dreams you set out to pursue in January… or maybe life has caused them to take a back seat. You might be in what we call “the messy middle”—where the excitement of starting has faded and the finish line feels unclear. Maybe you're dreaming about that someday moment, unsure how all the pieces will come together.If that's you today, you're not alone. And you're in the right place.Our guest today is here to remind us that even in uncertain seasons, we can still choose to believe. Christina B., host of the Dream Lab Podcast, is passionate about helping dreamers like you and me take bold steps of faith—practical, prayerful steps—that bring what's inside our hearts out into the world.She'll encourage us to trust God with every part of the journey—especially the uncomfortable parts—and to surround ourselves with praying encouragers who remind us that slow progress is still progress. Even when it feels like we're moving at a snail's pace, God is at work.Christina also reminds us of something powerful: the gift of today. Being present in the moment is where peace and clarity often meet us. She encourages us to listen to our bodies, to honor the resting rhythms our soul, body, and mind need—so we don't burn out before the dream even gets off the ground.She challenges us to step outside our comfort zones—not to strive harder, but to depend more deeply on the One who calls us forward. As she puts it, God's the one who called us out of the boat in the first place.I'll leave you with this quote from 20th-century poet Lilias Trotter, who wrote:“Take the very hardest thing in your life—the place of difficulty, outward or inward—and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there—He can bring your soul into bloom.”Take a breath, settle in, and get ready to be encouraged.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 3 of the BE ENCOURAGED! podcast — and let me tell you, this one is something special. Although there was a short break between episode 2 and now to episode 3, I appreciate the grace in getting this out to you later than usual. I assure you, though this will be worth the wait! Today, we're diving deep into the believe series. Believe, is not just as a thought, a feeling, or a hope — but as our guest speaker today puts it, it's an action. As a daily decision. As a powerful, faith-filled posture that shifts how we show up in the world. And to help us unpack this life-giving theme, we are honored — truly honored — to welcome the one and only Carol McLeod to the conversation.Carol is known and deeply loved by readers, television audiences, and other Christians across the country, especially women who have been uplifted by her raw honesty, biblical wisdom, and unshakable hope. She's the President and CEO of Carol McLeod Ministries, a powerhouse speaker at women's conferences and retreats, and the author of more than a dozen books. But more than her titles, it's her testimony that speaks the loudest.In this episode, Carol shares what it really looks like to believe — when the diagnosis is bad, when the healing hasn't come, when life feels like it's falling apart. She doesn't sugarcoat her journey. She talks about fighting cancer, battling through painful seasons, and waking up each day making the bold decision to believe that God is still good. That Jesus is still enough. And sometimes? That's the belief that gets us through.We're also excited to highlight the book, Today is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment — because believing isn't just about someday; it's about today. Right here. Right now. In the middle of the ordinary, the laundry folding,l and unchecked to do lists, we're invited to live with expectancy, courage, and unwavering belief in who God is.So if you're struggling to hold on, or just need a fresh reminder that believing is the action that will get you through the hard places you might find yourself in — this episode is for you. Grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, or wherever you are — Let's believe and be encouraged— together.Learn more about our guest speaker: website: https://www.carolmcleodministries.com/Follow host, Jackie Brindle on Instagram@be_encouraged_podcast Subscribe, follow, and write a review today! :)
