Heather Creekmore dives deep into the commonly misunderstood difference between condemnation and conviction—especially when it comes to food, eating habits, and our journeys around body image and weight loss. Drawing from her 40-Day Body Image Workbook, Heather Creekmore unpacks why so many of us feel trapped in shame and guilt over our choices and how to discern whether the voices in our heads are actually leading us closer to God or away from Him. Using relatable stories (like Girl Scout cookie season temptations!) and biblical truth, Heather Creekmore explains how condemnation shames and separates us, while conviction gently guides and restores hope. She explores how diet culture often tricks us into believing that shame can help us "shape up," when in fact, Scripture says there’s no condemnation for those in Christ. You’ll also hear practical ways to tune into the Holy Spirit’s conviction instead of the enemy’s lies, and why making Satan your accountability partner is never the right choice. If you’re tired of negative self-talk and need to feel the difference between healthy conviction and harmful condemnation, this episode is for you! Plus, learn about the upcoming 40-Day Journey with Heather Creekmore and how to join her supportive community.

One of the least popular Christian traditions is the idea that there will be no marriage--which means no sex--in heaven. But is that actually Biblical?

Yesterday we looked at two types of soil Satan targets. Today, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to the third: spoiled soil—a heart that isn't hard or shallow, but overcrowded. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, you'll hear how Jesus describes the seed “among thorns” as someone who hears the Word, yet becomes unfruitful because the worries of life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke spiritual growth (Matthew 13:22). The problem isn't the seed—God's Word is powerful. The problem is competition: distractions and “competing seeds” the enemy tosses into the mix to drain your focus, sap your energy, and smother your witness. Dr. Youssef challenges you to examine what's crowding your life: Is busyness strangling prayer and Scripture intake? Are anxiety and constant worry becoming a chokehold on joy? Have ambitions, comforts, or resentments become functional idols? Then comes the hope: good soil—the guarded heart that hears, understands, and produces a crop that lasts (Matthew 13:23). This devotional will help you identify what kind of “soil” you're living with right now and call you to vigilant, daily protection of God's Word so it can flourish. Prayer: Father, forgive me for the things in my life that have hindered Your Word from fully developing in me. I pray that You would nurture Your seeds of Truth in my life. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. Today's my devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

What are you connecting your hope to right now? In this episode, Mike Hess teaches from 1 Peter 1:3 and answers the question that Peter wrote to first-century Christians who had lost jobs, land, and family for their faith. Biblical hope is not wishful thinking. It is the confident expectation that God will be true to his promises, grounded in the historical reality of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This was true in the first century. Mike makes the case it is just as true in 2026.   Presented by McGregor Podcast 2026 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com

 We often think of sacred texts like the Bible as being rigid, set in stone. But actually they're really nuanced and complex, and crucially, they allow us to bring our own complexity. Dr. Janette H. Ok is a New Testament professor at Fuller Seminary. She empowers her students to embrace their unique perspectives and backgrounds, and use those as powerful tools in biblical reflection. In this conversation, Janette also explains how wisdom isn't something you master, but a way of living you can cultivate. And she shares a practice for how we can go beyond quick Biblical memes, and dive deep into what might transform us.

Guided Question When conflicts arise with other believers, do I rely on worldly methods of self-preservation, or do I trust God's Spirit and His people to help me walk in love, humility, and faith? Summary In this sermon on 1 Corinthians 6, Dr. Robert Lewis addresses the problem of lawsuits among Christians in Corinth. The issue was not simply about legal disputes but about a deeper spiritual problem: the Corinthians had forgotten their theology and were living with a worldly spirit of survival rather than the Spirit-filled life. Paul reminds the church that theology is not abstract or academic; it shapes everyday life and decisions. Believers are called to live out their future destiny now—managing disputes with wisdom, humility, and a focus on God's Kingdom rather than possessions or personal rights. Instead of taking one another to court, Paul calls for Christian arbitration or, if necessary, Christian resignation, following the example of Christ who surrendered His rights for the sake of love. Ultimately, Paul urges the Corinthians to remember who they are: washed, sanctified, and justified in Christ. Forgetting this truth leads them backward into a lifestyle of hopelessness, while remembering it moves them forward toward their destiny as Spirit-filled heirs of the Kingdom. Outline I. The Problem Identified (vv. 1–6) Christians were suing Christians in secular courts. Root issue: living as if theology has no place in daily life. Lawsuits reflected greed, selfishness, and immaturity in the faith. II. The Theological Reminder (vv. 2–4, 9–11) “Do you not know?” repeated six times—calling them back to forgotten theology. Believers will one day judge the world and even angels. Christians must live now in light of their eternal destiny. To sue one another is to live like those outside the Kingdom. Remember your identity: washed, sanctified, and justified. III. The Practical Solutions (vv. 5–8) Christian Arbitration — seek resolution through wise believers and church leadership. Christian Resignation — if necessary, yield rather than destroy relationships or Christ's reputation. IV. The Call to Move Forward (vv. 9–11) Do not retreat into sin and hopelessness. Live as Spirit-filled people who display God's love and forgiveness. Theology must inform daily relationships and decisions. Key Takeaways Theology is for life, not just the classroom. Biblical truth is meant to shape our daily decisions and relationships. Conflict among believers must be handled spiritually, not through worldly systems. The church is equipped with God's Word and Spirit to resolve disputes. Possessions are never more important than people. Giving in for the sake of love protects unity and honors Christ. Remember your identity. We are washed, sanctified, and justified—called to live as heirs of God's Kingdom. Moving forward requires Spirit-filled living. Retreating into selfishness and greed leads to defeat; surrender to the Spirit leads to peace and maturity. Scripture References 1 Corinthians 6:1–11 – Lawsuits among believers and reminder of our identity in Christ. Matthew 5:40 – Jesus' teaching on surrendering possessions rather than fighting. Revelation 20:4–6 – Believers' future destiny to rule with Christ. Proverbs 18:19 – The difficulty of restoring an offended brother. Acts 18:8 – Corinthians' baptism as a sign of leaving the old life behind. Recorded 9/6/81

Biblical humility and servant leadership are beautifully displayed in Philippians 2:5-8, where Jesus models a radically different view of greatness—one rooted in love, sacrifice, and selflessness. Rather than clinging to His divine status, Jesus chose to humble Himself, taking on the role of a servant and ultimately giving His life on the cross. This passage challenges the way we view power, status, and what it truly means to love others. Through a personal story and powerful reflection, this devotional reminds us that the lowest places—often the ones we avoid—can become the greatest opportunities to demonstrate Christlike love. When we shift our mindset from self-importance to selfless service, we begin to reflect the heart of Jesus in our everyday relationships. True love isn’t about convenience—it’s about willingness to serve, even when it costs us something. Highlights Jesus redefined greatness by choosing humility and servanthood over status and power True love is often expressed through simple, lowly acts of service Pride can keep us from opportunities to love others well Humility means thinking of others more, not thinking less of ourselves Serving others becomes natural when we are motivated by genuine love Letting go of comfort and control draws us closer to God’s heart The “mindset of Christ” transforms how we approach relationships and daily interactions This episode is sponsored by Trinity Debt Management.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!” – Philippians 2:5-8, NIV When I was in college, I took a job at a fast food restaurant to supplement the income from my journalism internship because I wanted extra money for a trip. I quit after only 3 weeks – as soon as I earned the amount I needed for the trip – because I felt like the job was beneath me. But reflecting on it now, I can see how that humbling experience was valuable. As you can imagine, cleaning a public restroom in a fast-food restaurant was never pleasant. But years later, when God led me to clean a restroom for a family member battling cancer, I was grateful I learned that sometimes the lowest tasks are connected to the highest ways of showing love. Sometimes we think that if we have power or status, we should use it to make our lives easier. We may refuse to do lowly jobs at work or at home because we have a higher job position than others on our team, or a higher status in our family than others. But Philippians 2:5-8 shows us a picture of Jesus that turns our ideas of greatness upside down. Jesus had the highest power and status possible – he was equal with God. Yet, Jesus didn’t use that power and status for himself. Instead, he “made himself nothing.” In some translations, it says he “emptied himself.” Jesus poured out his rights and his comfort so that he could fill our greatest need. When Jesus came from heaven to earth, he went from being in a perfect environment where he had everything he could ever want to dealing with human needs in a fallen world, where he would experience the full range of suffering we go through here. Jesus made that choice because of his love for his creation – including us. Love motivated Jesus to come to earth to pay for humanity’s sins himself, so we could connect with a holy God and be saved. When Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, he was the highest person in the room, yet he chose the lowest task. Why did Jesus, the King of Kings, become a servant? It was because he saw us. Jesus saw that we were broken, lost, and separated from God by our sin. He knew that the only way to reach us was to come down to where we were. True humility involves thinking of ourselves less and thinking of others more. Serving others is something we’ll naturally want to do if we’re motivated by love. When we love people, we don’t mind doing lowly jobs to help them. Parents don’t mind changing diapers because they love their babies. Friends don’t mind driving across town late at night to help a friend in need because they love their friends. Philippians 2:5-8 starts out by saying: “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.” That’s a challenge for us every single day. But the more we ask Jesus to help us focus on what matters most from his perspective, the more we can apply that wisdom to our relationships with each other. When we choose the lowest place, we end up in the highest place we can be, which is close to God’s heart. God’s core nature is love. Jesus shows us what God’s love looks like in action, and we can see from Jesus’ life on earth that God often expresses his love through humble service to others. By doing simple tasks with great love, Jesus shows us that taking the lowest place is an important way to move higher in our relationships with God. Intersecting Faith & Life: As you consider how taking the lowest place in love can help you move higher with God, reflect on these questions: When you feel above a certain task or person, what does that reveal about your heart? Jesus let go of his heavenly rights and comforts to serve us on earth. What’s one right or comfort you find difficult to let go of? How does knowing that Jesus chose the cross out of love change the way you view your own struggles? Who is one person in your life who you can relate to this week by practicing having the “mindset of Christ”? Why is love a more powerful motivator for service than just feeling a moral obligation to do what’s right?

The enemy targets both the spiritually strong and the spiritually weak—with one goal: spiritual stagnation. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to Jesus' warning in Matthew 13: the sower and the seed are unstoppable, so Satan focuses on corrupting the soil—your heart—so the Word won't produce lasting fruit. Dr. Youssef explains that the devil has no power over God or His Word, but he can distract, harden, and shallow out our hearts—making us resistant to truth, quick to drift, and slow to mature. Jesus highlights multiple kinds of soil where the seed suffers, and today Dr. Youssef focuses on the first two: The hardened path (wayside soil) — When someone hears the message but doesn't understand it, the enemy snatches it away. Unconfessed sin and bitterness can harden the heart, dull spiritual sensitivity, and cloud understanding (Matthew 13:19). The rocky, shallow soil — Some receive the Word with joy, but without depth they wither under pressure. New believers can fall back into old habits when mocked, and longtime believers can remain “spiritual infants” if they never mature beyond surface-level faith (Matthew 13:20–21). If you've felt stuck, spiritually numb, or easily shaken, this devotional will help you identify what kind of “soil” you've been living with—and call you to ask the Holy Spirit to make your heart fertile ground for the Truth that brings joy and freedom. Prayer: Father, show me if I am one of these types of soil where the seeds of Your Word are not able to take root. And by Your Spirit, make my heart fertile ground for Your Truth that brings joy and freedom. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. Today's MY Devotional has been provided by Leading The Way.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Joshua Wiley from Memphis, TN. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 11:1. Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. — 1 Corinthians 11:1 Paul opens one of the most challenging chapters in the letter with a single, clarifying line. Before he talks about authority, order, or worship, he establishes the pattern. Imitation. The word Paul uses here is the Greek mimētēs—the root of our English word "mimic". It means to model your life after another by observable pattern, not by abstract admiration. Paul does not say, "Mimic me because I'm in charge." He says, "Mimic me as I follow Christ." In other words, mimētēs me. This assumes visible proximity to both Paul and Christ. Paul is not claiming perfection. He is claiming alignment. As long as my life reflects Christ, you can safely follow. The moment it doesn't, you shouldn't. That describes spiritual leadership. Biblical authority is not control. It is a visible submission to Jesus—and that distinction matters because not every teacher who speaks for God actually follows God. Paul's standard quietly exposes both faithful teachers and false teachers. Faithful teachers can be observed. Their lives reinforce their words. What they proclaim publicly is supported by how they live privately. They mimic it. False teachers, on the other hand, demand loyalty without accountability. They ask to be admired rather than imitated. Their churches point to their authority, their gifting, or their platform—but rarely to how they mimic Christ. In a culture suspicious of authority, the first verse of Chapter 11 reframes the conversation that has been taking place. Scripture never calls believers to reject authority, but to practice discernment. Paul here invites it. Followers are commanded to mimic leaders only insofar as those leaders imitate Christ. That places a weighty responsibility on pastors and teachers (like myself)—and a necessary responsibility on the church. God's order for the church, and worship (the topic of this chapter), is not meant to oppress and silence people. It is meant to shape them. It was never meant to elevate leaders, but to point everyone to Christ. The people of the church do not invent their own patterns. It receives them from the ultimate authority who designed the church and died for the church. And those patterns are trustworthy because Jesus is. The church is about Jesus. And we are all called to mimic the one we worship, Jesus! Every form of leadership, every act of submission, every structure in the church stands or falls on this question: Does it look like Jesus? If it does, it can be followed. If it doesn't, it should be challenged. And most importantly, when you leave worship, your life should move away from mimicking the world and be reshaped—visibly and decisively—to mimic Jesus. DO THIS: Evaluate the leaders and teachers you learn from most. Ask whether their lives are watchable—whether their private conduct reinforces their public teaching—and whether following them would actually lead you closer to Christ. ASK THIS: Whose life am I currently mimicking through teaching, influence, or example? Where might admiration be replacing imitation? How can I grow in discernment so that I follow Christ first—and leaders only insofar as they follow him? PRAY THIS: Lord Jesus, sharpen my discernment. Guard me from blind loyalty and from cynical distrust. Help me follow faithful leaders with wisdom and courage, and shape my own life so that it points clearly to you. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Yet Not I but Through Christ in Me"

Main Theme The power of God's Word and its ability to transform lives. Focus: “Powerful lessons from another cross” (the thief on the cross in Luke 23:39–43). Context and Setup Reference to Charles Spurgeon: God's Word defends itself. Connection to previous message on the cross (Galatians 6:14). Illustration: church member misusing the “thief on the cross” story. Introduction of three crosses: Cross of redemption (Jesus). Cross of rejection. “Another cross” (the repentant thief). The Passage (Luke 23:39–43) One criminal mocks Jesus. The other: Rebukes the first criminal. Acknowledges guilt. Declares Jesus' innocence. Asks Jesus to remember him. Jesus promises him paradise. Observations About the Thief Demonstrates deep spiritual understanding at the end of life. Possible unknown background (religious or sudden revelation). Encouragement to grow spiritually and keep learning. Initially mocked Jesus but experienced a change of heart. Key idea: “While there is life, there is hope.” Theme of Transformation Warning against false or limiting belief systems. Emphasis on truth as the source of freedom. Call to “come to your senses” spiritually. Sin described as destructive and deceptive. Illustration: prodigal son and consequences of sin. Lesson 1: The Fear of God Based on Luke 23:40: “Do you not fear God?” The thief understood reverence and accountability before God. Clarifying the Fear of God Not terror בלבד, but reverence, respect, and awe. Balance: गलत view: harsh, cruel God. Opposite गलत view: only love, no judgment. Biblical Support Matthew 10:28 – Fear God, not man. Hebrews 10:31 – Fearful to fall into God's hands. Hebrews 12:28–29 – God is a consuming fire. Proverbs 16:6 – Fear of God leads to turning from evil. Warnings and Applications Modern culture minimizes or distorts God's holiness. Danger of creating a “God in our image.” Example: evangelist who loved Christ but lost fear of God → moral failure. Key point: spiritual passion without reverence leads to compromise. Practical Implications Fear of God establishes moral boundaries. Christians should not live habitually in sin while claiming faith. Call to raise standards according to Scripture, not culture. Lesson 2: Recognition of Personal Sin Based on Luke 23:41: “We are punished justly…” The thief admits guilt and responsibility. Core Idea Acknowledging sin is the first step to salvation and healing. Key Teachings Humans resist admitting wrongdoing. Modern tendency to blame others (culture, family, society). Biblical truth: all are guilty before God. Biblical Support Romans 3:10 – None righteous. Romans 3:19 – All the world guilty before God. Romans 3:23 – All have sinned. Illustrations Prison story: only the guilty man was freed. Parable of Pharisee vs. tax collector: Self-righteous man vs. repentant sinner. The humble sinner is justified. Practical Implications You cannot receive salvation without admitting need. “I'm a good person” mindset blocks repentance. Sin leads to destruction (James 1:14–15). The cross is the solution to human guilt. Closing Emphasis Two key lessons from the thief: Fear God (reverence and accountability). Admit personal sin (humility and repentance). Message of hope: Jesus saves sinners. Transformation is possible even at the last moment. Invitation to respond: Repent. Return to God. Embrace grace and salvation.

"Imagine if every church became a place where everyone is safe, but no one is comfortable. ... We might just create sanctuary." Rachel Held Evans Mark 14:12-25 (we usually think a large gathering of friends or family should, by its nature, be harmonious; on the other hand, betrayals in situations like this are Biblical)

In Middle Eastern farming, the pathway between two fields becomes hard-packed ground—unprepared to receive seed. Dr. Michael Youssef says that strip of earth is a vivid picture of what can happen to the human heart. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Youssef connects this image to Jesus' parable of the sower: Christ is the sower, your heart is the soil, and the enemy works relentlessly to keep the seed of God's Word from producing life. One of Satan's most effective tactics is getting you to substitute human wisdom for God's Word—then snatching away the Gospel before it can germinate. But hardness doesn't stop there. Dr. Youssef warns that unconfessed sin, unforgiveness, resentment, and bitterness can become spiritual concrete. When we cling to these attitudes and elevate them above fellowship with God, they become idols—quietly displacing His rightful supremacy. Using a striking story of an idol being shattered to reveal hidden treasure, Dr. Youssef offers a hopeful promise: every idol you surrender may feel costly in the moment, but it always yields far more—new freedom, deeper prayer, and fresh treasures of grace and peace. Prayer: Lord, my desire is to destroy every idol in my life. Please show me anything I am not surrendering to You and grant me the ability to surrender it to You today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. Today's MY Devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

The outdoors can be a place of awe, challenge, and discovery—yet for many families, especially those raising daughters with physical, emotional, or developmental challenges, stepping into adventure can feel overwhelming or even out of reach. But what if those very challenges are where God's power shines most clearly?    On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, host Patti Garibay continues a special conversation about helping families experience the beauty of the outdoors and the powerful faith lessons it can teach. Patti welcomes Kevin Schweiger, founder of Luke 5 Adventures, a ministry dedicated to making the outdoors accessible for individuals with physical challenges through innovative adaptive equipment and servant-hearted teamwork.    Kevin shares the story behind Luke 5 Adventures and the passion that sparked a ministry helping differently-abled individuals experience God's creation in ways that once seemed impossible. From climbs at the Grand Canyon to the heights of Pike's Peak, Kevin and his team have demonstrated that limitations are not the end of the story—they are often the very stage where God reveals His strength, provision, and purpose.    Throughout the conversation, Patti and Kevin explore how parents and mentors can nurture courage and curiosity in girls—even when circumstances feel uncertain or difficult. Kevin reflects on the powerful picture of the Body of Christ that unfolds during these adventures, where teams come together to lift, carry, and support one another along the path. In these moments, families witness Biblical truths in action: faith lived out through service, perseverance, and love.    This episode offers encouragement for parents raising daughters who face challenges of any kind. Whether the "mountain" in front of your family is a physical trail or a difficult season of life, God meets His people on the journey. When girls learn that their limitations do not define them—and that God equips them for every climb—they grow into women who are courageous, compassionate, and ready to follow Christ wherever He leads.    Scriptures Referenced in This Episode:    Luke 5:17–26  2 Corinthians 12:9–10  Galatians 6:2  Hebrews 12:1–2  Psalm 19:1    To learn more about Luke 5 Adventures, visit luke5adventures.org    Visit raisinggodlygirls.com for more encouragement and faith-based parenting tools.            Learn how to find or start an American Heritage Girls Troop in your community at americanheritagegirls.org.      

I look at the NT data regarding slavery to wrap up my discussion on the Biblical view of slavery. The NT teaches that our spiritual status is more important than our earthly social status. In Christ, there is neither slave nor free. While Paul encouraged those who could obtain their freedom to do so, what mattered more was their spiritual status as slaves of Jesus Christ (true of free men as well). All humans are slaves in the sense that we are enslaved to sin or to righteousness. In Christ, we are slaves to God and slaves to righteousness, which results in eternal life. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

Paul Axton preaches: Mary and Martha illustrate two approaches to life and thought, with Mary representing a Sabbath form of thought in which thought is received, and Mary representing a doing form of thought in which thought is aimed at a product. While Marth thinking is necessary, all Martha and no Mary takes away the center and purpose from thought. If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider donating to support our work. Become a Patron!

Keep Your Heart on Course: The Hidden Drift That Weakens Your Faith How do you stay faithful—not just for a season, but for a lifetime? In this episode of the Rob Skinner Podcast, Rob dives into a powerful truth from Proverbs 23: "Keep your heart on the right course." The greatest challenge in the Christian life isn't starting strong—it's staying strong. Over time, many believers don't walk away from God… they simply drift. A little less focus. A little more comfort. A slow shift in direction. And before long, their passion fades. In this episode, Rob unpacks three common areas where drift begins—food, drink, and rest—and explains how even good things can quietly pull your heart off course if left unchecked. This is not about legalism. It's about direction, discipline, and staying spiritually sharp.

What would make someone sweep the whole house, light a lamp, and search relentlessly for a single missing coin? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explores Jesus' parable in Luke 15:8–10 and reveals a detail many miss: in Jesus' day, a woman's ten-coin headdress (a semdi) signified her engagement—so losing one coin wasn't minor inconvenience, but a public heartbreak and deep shame. That intensity, Jesus says, pictures how precious you are to God and how far He will go to seek the lost. But there's a sobering twist: unlike the lost sheep, the lost coin is missing at home. Dr. Youssef warns that church attendance, Bible studies, and religious familiarity cannot save anyone. Without Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, a person can be just as lost sitting in a pew as someone far from church. Jesus ends with joy: heaven celebrates one sinner who repents. If you've assumed proximity to Christian things equals salvation, this devotional invites you to respond to Christ personally—and be part of the celebration. Prayer: Father, thank You for Your sacrifice to save me. May I not lose sight of You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. Today's MY Devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

We hear the name of "Jesus" relatively frequently. Many times the name is used "in vain" or without purpose, perhaps in cursing. But there comes a moment when that name becomes associated with the true God and with purpose.He says He comes to save us from our sins. Nothing else has ever worked. At a certain moment, the generic name of Jesus can become the SAVING name of Jesus.  Everybody must come to this moment. Listen as we hear of such a moment in a man by the name of Joseph. Subscribe to this YouTube channel please! You'll get regular Biblical videos. https://youtu.be/fB-wwCLstTI

Rick Pearson explores “America's Josiah Moment,” revealing how ancient Biblical prophecy could give us a blueprint for America's future. (J2602)

Personal Revival, Nation Awakening & Generational ReformationIn early February, President Trump announced historic plans for a national prayer event on the Washington DC Mall—specifically at the Abraham Lincoln Memorial. This historic event is scheduled MAY 17th to "Rededicate America as One Nation under GOD.” He described this event as a National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving. This rededication is corresponding with the launching of a year-long celebration of our Nation's 250th year of Independence. The “rededication" is not just a symbolic gesture—this is deeply spiritual and holds great significance for realigning America's destiny and ultimate purpose. This is monumental.

The book of Ecclesiastes has puzzled readers for millennia with its unflinching observations about absurdity, meaninglessness, vanity, and futility. Biblical scholar Jesse Peterson joins Evan Rosa to discuss his book, Qoheleth and the Philosophy of Value, bringing contemporary philosophy into dialogue with this ancient text and reflecting on what happens when a sage confronts the gap between expectation and reality. "Can you view your work, your toil, not just as a means to a further end? Can you rather turn to simply enjoy the work itself?" Together they discuss the distinction between meaning and value, why Qoheleth denies lasting significance while affirming joy, the harm of death and the death of memory, Ecclesiastes and Camus's absurdism, and the book's surprising message about enjoyment as an intrinsic good. Episode Highlights "I think what's at the heart of the Book of Ecclesiastes is just to say, maybe not, maybe there isn't a direct line between what you do and what the result will be." "It's not just that you'll physically die, but meaning that you've accrued in your life, if there was such a thing, that dies with you." "In this moment of working on what I'm working on, whatever it is, I am fully alive." "You have a little piece of the pie, and just own it. Absorb yourself into whatever that may be." "Can you view your work, your toil, not just as a means to a further end? Can you rather turn to simply enjoy the work itself?"

  This episode is part of the Restoration Theology class. Whereas last time we focused on differences and development, today our goal is to perceive the final form of a doctrine. Because restorationists believe God inspired scripture, we recognize that amidst the diversity we can also detect coherence. Although there were many authors, there was only one God inspiring each of them. Today you’re going to learn about how to do systematic theology well. Rather than merely collecting a few texts that support your belief, you’ll also learn what other steps are necessary to put together a robust theological statement. You’ll also learn about the limitations of systematic theology.   Listen on Spotify   Listen on Apple Podcasts —— Links —— Check out the other episodes of the Restoration Theology class Support Restitutio by donating here Join our Facebook group, follow on X @RestitutioSF or Instagram @Sean.P.Finnegan Leave a 90 second voice message via SpeakPipe with questions or comments and we may play it out on the air Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here Get Finnegan’s book, Kingdom Journey to learn about God’s kingdom coming on earth as well as the story of how Christianity lost this pearl of great price.

What happens when good gifts—money, success, stability—quietly become your trust? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef draws from two of Jesus' most sobering teachings about wealth. First, the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10: a man who wanted to follow Jesus, yet couldn't release his grip on riches. Jesus offered him treasure in heaven, true security, and salvation—but his possessions held his heart so tightly that he walked away sorrowful. Then Dr. Youssef turns to Jesus' parable in Luke 12 of the rich landowner who expanded his barns and planned for a comfortable future—yet failed to plan for eternity. In a single night, everything changed, exposing the danger of living as though this life is all there is. This devotional is a timely reminder that the only refuge that stands in every storm is Jesus Christ. Markets rise and fall. Economies shift. Peace and turmoil come and go. But those who run to Christ are secure—life or death—because in Him, you already have everything you need. Prayer: Father, help me to press on in this life with whatever circumstances You have deemed for my good—whether riches or want—remembering the hope of glory that is mine today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  Today's MY Devotional has been provided by Leading The Way. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission.

The Placebo of the Entertainment Church | Why the American Church Is Spiritually Weak KWR0058 Kingdom War Room   Description In this powerful episode of the Kingdom War Room, Dr. Michael Lake, Dr. Mike Spaulding, and Dr. Corby Shuey expose the placebo of the entertainment church and why it has left much of the modern church spiritually weak, biblically shallow, and unprepared for the days ahead. The discussion addresses how seeker-sensitive models, business-driven ministry, false spirituality, and biblical illiteracy have created a dangerous vacuum in the Body of Christ. The team contrasts this man-made system with the true pattern of New Testament discipleship, spiritual maturity, pastoral care, and deep teaching from the Word of God. This episode is a serious call for pastors, leaders, and believers to return to Christ and Him crucified, to reopen the wells that have been stopped up by Babylonian compromise, and to pursue a faith that is holy, transformative, and grounded in Scripture. If you are hungry for substance rather than spectacle, for truth rather than performance, and for real kingdom life instead of religious entertainment, this War Room conversation is for you. In this episode: The spiritual danger of the entertainment church model Why biblical illiteracy has opened the door to deception How mega-church culture and business models distorted ministry The difference between true apostles, prophets, and celebrity religion Why many churches produce offerings, but not fruit The need to return to deep discipleship and real pastoral ministry Re-digging the wells of the apostles for the remnant in the last days Please like, share, and subscribe to help us get these Kingdom truths to more believers around the world.

“Our story is a warning to some and a hope to others.” Three years into their marriage, Lymari Navarro got an anonymous phone call from a woman who said, “Your husband is having an affair.” When confronted, Tony told Lymari he had fallen out of love with her, but she chose grace over the Biblical “right” she had to a divorce. The enemy attacks marriages because it is the most accurate relationship to that of Jesus and the church. Marriage shows off the gospel in a way that nothing else can, and the transformational impact of that undeserved grace is on display in the story you'll begin to hear in this week's episode. Come back next week for part two of the Perrys' conversation with Lymari and Tony.
