A deeply personal and Torah-rich conversation on facing darkness from within. Kiki opens up about her own journey with anxiety and depression, sharing how she moved from resenting the darkness she experienced to believing in its inherent blessing. Drawing on biblical stories, Kiki weaves profound insight with raw personal honesty.

When lifelong churchgoers Sean Walsh and Don Roth dug deep into Scripture, original languages, and biblical chronology, they became convinced that much of mainstream Christianity rests on three major errors. In this episode, they join Robert Plank to unpack their book The Three Pillars of False Doctrine and explain why they believe the traditional Friday death / Sunday resurrection, the popular form of the Trinity doctrine, and the modern idea of church as a building or organization all fail the test of the Bible itself. Drawing on Don's work creating a day‑by‑day Biblical calendar from Genesis forward and Sean's “Unlock the Word” ministry, they walk through key passages on the Sabbath, the Godhead, and church, and show how translation choices and tradition have shaped what most believers assume is “just Christianity.” Rather than asking anyone to join a new denomination, Sean and Don challenge listeners to be Bereans checking every sermon, creed, and holiday against Scripture. They discuss why Christ's “three days and three nights” matters, how Ezekiel and Acts are commonly misread to support Sunday worship, and why knowing who the God of the Old Testament is changes how you read the entire Bible. If you've ever felt that certain doctrines didn't quite add up, this conversation and the resources at UnlockTheWord.com and BiblicalCalendarProof.com invite you to put your traditions on the table and let the Bible speak for itself. Quotes: “If your timeline for Christ doesn't fit three days and three nights, it's not the Scripture that needs to move it's your doctrine.” Don Roth “Church isn't a business or a building; Ecclesia is the people God has called out. If you think ‘church' is a place you go on Sunday, you've already missed the context.” Sean Walsh “When you finally read the Bible without defending your denomination, you discover how many ‘non‑negotiable' doctrines collapse under the weight of Scripture.” Sean Walsh Resources: Unlock the World THE 3 PILLARS OF FALSE DOCTRINE

Why is it so hard to live faithfully in a fallen world—even when you want to obey God? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes a sobering reality: every believer has an enemy on the inside—the flesh—that instinctively leans toward rebellion. When temptation knocks, it's the flesh that wants to open the door. But you are not helpless. Dr. Youssef explains that God has equipped every Christian with three weapons for victory—tools strong enough to overcome the world's pressure, the devil's lies, and the flesh's cravings: A renewed nature to battle the old sinful nature The living, active Word of God—sharper than a double-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12) The Holy Spirit—God's presence within you to convict, remind, strengthen, and empower obedience Using the Corinthian church as a warning, Dr. Youssef shows how many struggles trace back to one root issue: letting the flesh run wild. This devotional will help you recognize the real battlefield and reclaim the victory Christ has already secured—by learning to hold fast to God's Word, walk in step with the Spirit, and fight with the tools heaven has provided.

A blood moon peaked at 3:33 AM on the first night of Purim — while the Israel Iran war tensions are at a breaking point. This is not a coincidence. And this is NOT astrology. The March 3rd lunar eclipse landed on one of the most historically loaded dates on God's calendar — Purim — the Jewish feast commemorating Israel's miraculous deliverance from ancient Persia (modern-day Iran). At the exact same moment, 333 days remained in the year. The last time a blood moon appeared over Jerusalem. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ in 33 A.D. I'm a former astrologer. I know exactly how this deception works from the inside — and I'm breaking down what this blood moon eclipse actually means through a biblical lens, not a New Age one.   In this episode: ✦ Why the red moon on Purim is impossible to ignore ✦ What 3:33 AM means and why the occult is obsessed with it ✦ Kabbalah, numerology, and why global elites move around symbolic dates ✦ The documented pattern of blood moons and Israel's history ✦ What Joel 2, Matthew 24, Luke 21 & Revelation 6 say about the last days ✦ End times signs — how to tell the difference between biblical discernment and New Age deception ✦ The mark of the beast, the rapture, and the return of Jesus Christ ✦ Why the apocalypse is not the end — it's a transition ✦ Where YOU stand with God right now This is not conspiracy theory.   The heavens were placed for signs and seasons (Genesis 1:14) — "moedim" in Hebrew — appointed times on God's calendar. The end of the world as we know it isn't random. Biblical prophecy and end times prophecy have been pointing to exactly this convergence: wars, celestial signs, Israel surrounded by enemies, and a world moving toward one final authority. The question is not "What does the eclipse mean?" The question is "Where do you stand with God?" The mercy window is still open. Jesus Christ paid the debt. Anyone who repents and trusts in Him is forgiven and restored. That's the only thing that matters when the signs of the end times are this loud. .. Ways to Support the Show:

Why does the message of Jesus feel “unreasonable” to so many people—even in highly educated, modern cultures? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks a core reality from 1 Corinthians 1: the cross confronts human pride. To the natural mind, the Gospel seems impossible—God becoming man, living in humility, dying on a cross, rising again, and offering forgiveness and eternal life to all who believe. Yet when the Holy Spirit opens our ears of faith, what once sounded like nonsense becomes the clearest Truth we've ever known. Dr. Youssef also exposes the limits of today's information-saturated world: more wealth, more leisure, and more knowledge have not made us wise or moral—because human wisdom can't redeem, change, or give peace. At best, it covers symptoms. Only God's wisdom—revealed through Christ and His cross—has the power to save, transform, and one day make all things new (Revelation 21:5). If you've been tempted to trust cultural “wisdom,” discouraged by spiritual apathy, or hesitant to share the Gospel because others call it foolish, this devotional will re-center your heart on the only wisdom that lasts: Jesus Christ—God's power and God's wisdom.

Jordan's journey began with a devastating diagnosis of Crohn's disease, a severe inflammatory bowel condition that left him wheelchair-bound after consulting 69 medical experts. After losing over 80 pounds and exhausting conventional treatments, he discovered a radically different approach rooted in whole foods, gut healing, and ancient dietary practices. The result: a complete transformation in his health. Jordan went on to become the author of more than thirty books and founder of multiple natural health companies. In this conversation, he shares insights from his newest book, The Biblio Diet, which explores how biblical-era food practices align with modern research on metabolism, inflammation, and the microbiome.   TOPICS DISCUSSED: Red meat and grains as controversial superfoods Modern agriculture and nutrient depletion The role of supplementation in modern nutrition Parenting and raising children with a real-food lifestyle The psychological and spiritual dimension of healing (hope and belief)   More from Jordan Rubin: Book: The Biblio Diet by Jordan Rubin Website: thebibliodiet.com Instagram: @jordansrubin   Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

Who are you really following—your favorite pastor, preacher, or platform? Or the Word of God? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef takes us to the spiritually troubled church in Corinth, where believers were dividing into camps: “I follow Paul… I follow Apollos… I follow Cephas…” (1 Corinthians 1:12). These were godly leaders—yet the “cult of personality” was producing division instead of unity. Dr. Youssef offers a simple heart-check that still applies today: If your confidence starts with “My pastor says…” you may be leaning on a human leader. If your confidence starts with “The Word of God says…” you're anchored to the infallible source of Truth. You'll be reminded that: No human leader is flawless—only Scripture is fully trustworthy. Cults don't make converts to Christ; they make converts to a personality. A church submitted to the authority and inerrancy of the Bible is a church positioned for humility, unity, and spiritual health. Placing yourself under God's Word is the first step toward living holy in a desperately sick culture. If you've felt pulled by competing voices—even Christian ones—this devotional will help you reset your confidence where it belongs: on Jesus Christ and His unchanging Word.

One of the Biblical principles that we need if we are to lead like Jesus is humility. It is a part of God's plan for our life. Humility dictates what we say and do and will  turn us into a leader that other want to follow.  In order to be a strong leader, we must have humility. Interesting, huh? You probably don't list that as one of the elements of strong leadership – but without humility – you will not lead with lasting impact.   John Maxwell defines humility this way... HUMILITY - "not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less".   It's time to do a little introspection and take the steps necessary to have the humility required to lead like Jesus. It will take intention and practice in order to exalt Jesus and submit to become a leader who leads like Him.   Invitation:  If you are a Christian woman who wants to lead with clarity, confidence, and biblical alignment, I invite you to sign up for the Confident Leader Workshop, a 3 session experience designed to help women lead intentionally and stay rooted in God's plan.

Most people have been sold a version of marriage that's either a power grab or a slow sacrifice into nothing. This conversation dismantles both. Adam Lane Smith sits down with Jonathan Pageau, symbolic artist, Orthodox Christian thinker, and author, to go deep on what Biblical marriage actually asks of a man, what it gives a woman, and why the model most people are running has nothing to do with Christianity. What you'll learn in this conversation: → Why hierarchy in a Christian marriage looks nothing like the Roman model most people are reacting against → What it actually means for a husband to "die to self" and why it's not what you think → The covenant framework God uses with Israel and what it reveals about secure attachment in marriage → How oxytocin, the nervous system, and masculine sacrifice are biologically connected → Why women become contemptuous of men who collapse into the home and what a wife actually needs → The undervalued power of the feminine private sphere and why dismissing it is destroying families → What repair looks like inside a covenant and why so many Christians don't believe it's available to them → How the seasons of a woman's life create a different kind of contribution than a man's and why that's worth honoring If you've been told that submission means suffering, or that self-sacrifice means disappearing, this conversation will give you a language for something you've felt but couldn't name.

"I see anger as a complex series of body changes triggered off by a sudden awareness of danger.

Loneliness is quietly becoming one of the most dangerous struggles of modern life, even among believers who sit in full churches each week. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explore why fellowship is fading and why many feel isolated. The guys explain how social media fuels comparison and resentment by showcasing polished lives that make normal struggles feel shameful. People can stand in crowded rooms yet feel unseen, afraid that honesty will be met with misunderstanding. Biblical fellowship is part of God's design, and shared purpose in the gospel replaces isolation with meaningful work. Busyness may numb loneliness temporarily, but it cannot replace deep relationships rooted in Christ.The guys explore how fear of rejection and fear of being known keep people stuck in isolation. Humans are created in God's image for a relationship with Him and with others, so disconnection runs counter to design. The gospel is not only a rescue from judgment but an invitation into communion with God and His people. Isolation creates space where lies grow louder, though intentional time alone with the Lord is different from unhealthy withdrawal. When believers live aware of Christ's presence, they are never alone, yet they still need embodied community. The guys connect the loneliness crisis to the Fall and to a culture that celebrates radical independence. From the beginning, it was not good for man to be alone, reflecting a God who exists in perfect community. Modern life pushes people inward, urging them to build identity from feelings and demand affirmation from others. This inward focus can lead to shallow online groups that imitate belonging without offering truth or accountability. Real gospel community reshapes hearts and calls believers to lift their eyes from themselves toward loving God and serving others. Purpose pulls people out of despair and reminds them they belong to something eternal.Finally, the guys offer practical steps for rebuilding connections in a disconnected world. The starting point is Christ, because union with Him means a believer is never spiritually abandoned. Meaningful church involvement, discipleship, confession, and shared service are essential for growth. Overcoming isolation requires intention, such as changing habits, making time for friendships, and stepping into opportunities to serve with others. For those battling anxiety or fear, small but concrete steps matter. Christians are not meant to fight alone but to link arms, labor together, and find that fellowship is one of God's primary tools for joy, strength, and lasting hope.Send a textThanks for listening!

Sarah Posner sits down with New York Magazine senior writer Sarah Jones to unpack the accelerating assault on transgender rights in Kansas and beyond. They trace how a new Kansas law retroactively invalidating updated gender markers on driver's licenses fits into a broader, decades-long Christian right strategy—one that cloaks theological convictions in the language of “common sense” and “biology.” From spiritual warfare rhetoric in statehouses to Supreme Court signals about religious motivation, Posner and Jones explore how anti-trans legislation operates as both a wedge issue and a cornerstone of a hierarchical gender ideology rooted in patriarchy, biblical literalism, and political calculation. They connect these state-level efforts to federal actions under Trump—from executive orders to agency guidance on bathroom bans—and examine how figures like Pete Hegseth and his mentor Doug Wilson frame masculinity, authority, and power. The conversation widens to consider how anti-trans politics intersects with abortion criminalization, punitive theology, and the rise of pronatalism across MAGA and NatCon spaces. They analyze the confirmation hearing of Surgeon General nominee Casey Means, whose blend of anti–birth control rhetoric, “sacred fertility” language, and pseudoscientific wellness ideology has sparked backlash—even from Christian right influencers like Erick Erickson, who denounced her as dabbling in witchcraft. Posner and Jones probe the uneasy coalition between evangelical patriarchy and MAHA-style new age conspiracism, asking whether this radicalized right-wing alignment can outlast Trump—or simply mutate into something more extreme. The episode closes with Posner's Anti-Doom segment, highlighting federal judges—some Trump-appointed—who are forcefully pushing back against unlawful immigration enforcement, reminding listeners that the constitutional order still has defenders. Sarah Jones is an award-winning senior writer for New York Magazine, where she covers religion and national politics. She serves on the editorial board of Dissent Magazine, and was previously a staff writer for The New Republic. Her first book, Disposable: America's Contempt for the Underclass, is available now from Avid Reader Press.

In this podcast, my friend Blake Prime shares how the 16-year business he built eventually became an idol that pulled him away from God, his wife, and his kids. From the outside, everything looked successful — a thriving fitness company, influence in the church, and a strong social media presence. But behind the scenes, Blake felt like a fraud. Everything changed during a mission trip to Honduras when he felt God clearly tell him to walk away from the business he had built for over a decade. Ironically, Blake first came to Steve Weatherford's Launchpad event just to see if Steve was legit — and to learn his system so he could use it himself. Instead, God used that moment to completely transform his life. In this conversation, Blake and Steve talk about success becoming an idol, the hidden struggles many men carry, and how humility, brotherhood, and surrender can lead to true freedom and restored families.

In this Bible Story, Moses grows angry against the people of Israel. Their constant complaints and groans sparked anger in Moses, and his rage inhibits him from being able to see the promised land. This story is inspired by Numbers 20-21.

​As Christians, we talk a lot about what we believe. But do you know WHY you believe those things? Because knowing what we believe is one thing. Being able to explain why we believe is another.

It's Thursday, March 5th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark 9 Nigerian Muslims on trial for killing 200 Christians Nine Fulani Muslim herdsmen are on trial in Nigeria for participating in the massacre of over 200 Christians in the country last year. Christian Daily International reports this is a rare case of prosecution against the Fulani herdsmen. The prosecution comes as the United States is calling on the country to combat Christian persecution. The U.S. is considering a bilateral agreement with Nigeria to protect Christian communities there and eliminate jihadist terror.  Psalm 7:9 says, “Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.”  Nigerian Anglicans reject the homosexual agenda of Church of England Speaking of Nigeria, the Global Anglican Future Conference is meeting this week in the West African country.  The movement of conservative Anglican churches, mainly in Africa and Asia, supports Biblical sexuality. The group has effectively broken off from the Anglican Communion led by the Church of England.  Sarah Mullally is set to become the first female archbishop of Canterbury in the Church of England. Sadly, she supports blessings for homosexual couples.  The Global Anglican Future Conference now plans on appointing its own leader who will represent Biblical values. The conservative group says it represents 85 percent of the world's practicing Anglicans. Christian teacher vindicated for refusing to say inaccurate pronouns In the United States, an Indiana school district agreed to pay $650,000 in a religious freedom lawsuit. Brownsburg Community School Corporation forced John Kluge, a Christian music teacher, to resign for not using biologically incorrect pronouns.  David Cortman with Alliance Defending Freedom commented on the case. He said, “After almost five and a half years, common sense has prevailed at Brownsburg. … Schools should learn that refusing to accommodate religious employees can be illegal and expensive.” Red state families having more babies than blue state families The Institute for Family Studies reports that the women in red states are birthing more babies than those in blue states since the COVID-19 pandemic. The 20 states that voted Democrat in 2024 saw a decline in people in their 20s and kids under 10 compared to 2019. Meanwhile, Republican-leaning states often had cheaper housing and tended to attract parents with young kids. States like Idaho, South Carolina, Florida, and Tennessee saw a 10% increase in married families with young children over the last five years. States like California, New York, and Illinois saw a decline in such families.  Trump cut federal workforce by 12% The federal government's civilian workforce shrunk by over 380,000 people during the first year of President Donald Trump's second term.   That's a 12% workforce reduction between September 2024 and January 2026. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management reported the numbers yesterday. Scott Kupor, the director of the agency, said, “This effort ensures taxpayer dollars support a workforce that delivers efficient, responsive and high-quality services.” Mortgage rate fell to 5.98% Mortgage rates fell below six percent for the first time in years. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate fell to 5.98 percent last week. It has not been that low since September 2022. Recent rates peaked at 7.8 percent in October 2023. Mortgage rates have been coming down slowly since the Federal Reserve began cutting its benchmark interest rate last year.  Only 4% of American adults have Biblical worldview And finally, Dr. George Barna released his latest survey on Biblical worldview. Sadly, only four percent of U.S. adults have a Biblical worldview. That's unchanged compare to 2023 and down from 12 percent in 1994. Most Americans, over eight in ten, may believe some Biblical principles but often think and live in ways that conflict with the Bible. Also, only two percent of young adults have a Biblical worldview. The survey noted, “Despite the increased attention given to faith matters after the Charlie Kirk murder, and the growth in church attendance and individuals purchasing Bibles immediately after that incident, there is no hint of improvement when it comes to Biblical worldview.” However, Dr. Barna wrote, “We reached a low point—4%— in 2023. The fact that we have not plumbed new depths since then hopefully suggests that we have bottomed out and are in line to experience positive growth in biblical thought and action.” Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 5th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Every day brings new pressure to blend in, bow down, or stay quiet. But Scripture calls believers to live in the world without being polluted by it (James 1:27)—not by isolating ourselves, but by living differently as a witness to Jesus. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef takes us to Corinth—one of the most spiritually sick cities of the ancient world—and shows how Paul addressed a church tempted to straddle two worlds. Some wanted one foot in the church and one foot in the culture, but Paul makes it clear: wholeness in Christ requires wholehearted allegiance. Here's the breakthrough: Paul calls these messy, struggling believers “saints”—not because they were perfect, but because they were sanctified in Christ Jesus (1 Corinthians 1:2). Dr. Youssef explains why every deliberate sin and compromise often comes down to one root issue: we forget whose we are. When you remember you belong to the eternal King—made righteous by the blood of Christ—you're empowered to pursue holiness with confidence, knowing God remains faithful even when you've fallen short. If you've been drifting, rationalizing, or feeling spiritually dulled by the culture, this devotional is a reset: You are a saint. Now live like it.

If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

This challenging Thursday podcast episode poses a hope-filled path to Christian parents and listeners: What does it take to free girls from the burden of self-focused living? Hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose continue the layered conversation on Biblical humility, but today with a challenge to take Scripture at its word and live out Philippians 2:1-9 as Christ did.    From childhood songs to serving others, Rachael and Natalie give a personal perspective on the many ways that God has shepherded each of them over the years when it comes to humility. They also share the science behind service as a benefit to girls experiencing depression, anxiety, or even just an unhealed tendency to navel-gaze, as Rachael often says.     American Heritage Girls resources offer age-based, practical ways for girls to learn and work out this journey of humility with God and one another.     Whether your girl has fallen into a rut of self-loathing or over-confidence, today's podcast conversation will anchor your heart in the wisdom of Scripture, the gentle way of Jesus, and the potential for your daughter to take every step of her journey growing in Christ's image.       Three Things to Consider:    Philippians 2 gives a beautiful snapshot of Godly humility…   It builds unity among Christ-followers   It seeks to serve others   It shows the world who Jesus truly is     Scriptures Referenced in this Episode:  Matthew 22:37-40  1 John 4:20-21  Philippians 2:1-9    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.
