She faithfully followed Jesus through His crucifixion, witnessed His burial, encountered the risen Christ, and was entrusted with the extraordinary responsibility of announcing His resurrection.The episode also examines how cultural assumptions can sometimes influence Christian interpretation and why believers should distinguish biblical teaching from traditions that may have developed later.Jamie's central message is simple but powerful: God is better than we have imagined, He profoundly loves women, and He purposefully includes them in His redemptive work.This conversation encourages both men and women to recognize that God works through willing, faithful believers and that the Body of Christ is strongest when believers honor one another while keeping Jesus and His redemptive mission at the center.In This EpisodeJamie Hulker's personal faith journeyStudying Scripture verse by verseWomen throughout God's redemptive planDeborah's leadership in JudgesMary Magdalene and the resurrection of JesusLydia and the Gospel entering EuropePhoebe, Priscilla, Junia, and Romans 16Paul's relationship with female coworkersBiblical calling versus cultural expectationsWhy secondary theological issues should not divide the ChurchMen and women working together in the Body of ChristFaithfulness, obedience, calling, and Christian purposeRestoring biblical conversations that honor God and one anotherKeywords / TagsJamie Hulker, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, Kingdom Crossroads Podcast, TS Wright, CPE Summer 2026, Christian Product Expo, women in the Bible, women in ministry, women in God's redemptive plan, biblical women, Mary Magdalene, Deborah in the Bible, Lydia Bible, Phoebe Romans 16, Priscilla and Aquila, Junia Bible, Romans 16 women, Apostle Paul women, Paul and women, Christian women, women of faith, women and Christianity, biblical womanhood, Christian leadership, women in church leadership, women in the early church, God's purpose for women, God's calling, redemptive plan, Body of Christ, Christian discipleship, Bible study, Christian author, Christian books, Christian podcast, Christian interviews, biblical theology, biblical equality, spiritual calling, Gospel of Jesus Christ, resurrection of Jesus, Great CommissionCall to ActionAre you ready to look again at what Scripture says about the men and women God uses to accomplish His purposes?

In this Bible Story, Jesus performs the first of many miracles at a wedding in Cana. By the request of his mother, Jesus blesses a wedding by turning water into wine. Although the guests are not aware of this miracle, the servants and disciples know, and awe at the humble power of Christ. They knew even more that he was the promised Messiah.

As Jesus continued on into the city, He called a man named Phillip to follow Him, and Phillip in turn went to tell his friend Nathanael about finding the Messiah. A few days later, Jesus and His followers were at a wedding in the nearby city of Cana.

In episode five of Biblical Help for Life's Problems, Dr. John Snyder is once again joined by pastor and counselor Louis Sacran. Drawing on Romans 13:14, Louis helps us understand sanctification biblically and practically. How do we grow and change as believers? How do we mature? We must understand the inner workings of our hearts (our desires) and our walk (our actions), and how they are connected. John and Louis tackle the topic of sexual sin. What is at the root of it, and how can I break the chains of enslavement to this sin? John and Louis point us back to the gospel and to our Lord Jesus. Being aware of what we have been given in Christ and of our unshakable standing with Him because of His righteousness is foundational to growing in Christlikeness. 

If life feels a little out of wack or chaotic, like what you're doing doesn't align with what you want - your priorities could be all out of order. And as a Christian, we're actually called to more.  Today we're talking about getting our priorities in order, the RIGHT order and why it's important!  Having priorities out of order can lead to chaos and overwhelm and putting time and effort into the wrong things. How we act out what we prioritize matters because it begins to define how we live our lives.  Today, I lay out Scripture that backs up what our priorities should be, the priority order I love, and an exhortation to sit down and take inventory for your own life.

You know you're already stretched thin. You know you don't have the capacity for one more thing. And yet, when someone asks you to help, volunteer, take on another responsibility, or make room for one more thing, you say yes. Not because you actually have the time. Not because you really want to. But because saying no feels harder than saying yes. If you're a Christian woman who struggles with people-pleasing, guilt, or feeling responsible for everyone around you, this episode is for you. As working Christian moms, we can become incredibly good at making room for things we don't actually have room for. We squeeze it in. We get up earlier. We stay up later. We rearrange our schedules. We take on one more thing—and then wonder why we're so overwhelmed. But sometimes the problem isn't that we don't know our limits. Sometimes we struggle to say no because of what we think saying no might mean about us. Will they think I'm selfish? Will they think I don't care? Will they be disappointed? Am I being a good Christian if I don't help? In this episode, we're going deeper than simply learning how to set boundaries. We're talking about why saying no can feel so difficult, how guilt can keep us overcommitted, and what biblical faithfulness actually looks like when our capacity is limited. You'll learn: Why saying yes can feel easier than disappointing someone How people-pleasing can contribute to overwhelm and overcommitment Why not every good opportunity is something God has asked you to carry How to recognize the difference between guilt and conviction Why someone else's disappointment isn't necessarily your responsibility How Jesus modeled living according to the Father's will rather than everyone's expectations Questions to ask before automatically saying yes How to begin making more confident yeses and more confident nos Why your foundational priorities matter when deciding what deserves your time, energy, and attention One of the most important questions we can learn to ask is: “Is this mine?” Not, “Could I technically make this work?” Because most moms are remarkably good at making things work. The better question is, “Does this fit within what God has entrusted to me?” Faithfulness isn't doing everything. Faithfulness is doing what God has asked you to do. And sometimes that means saying yes. Sometimes it means sacrificing. And sometimes faithfulness means recognizing that you've reached your limit and refusing to take on something God never asked you to carry. If you're ready to stop living from guilt and start making more intentional decisions about what deserves your yes, this episode will help you take that first step. Want help getting clear on your priorities? This is something we go much deeper into inside Faithfully Balanced, my course for working Christian moms who want to stop living overwhelmed and start living intentionally. Inside Faithfully Balanced, we work through your foundational priorities so you can get clear on what God has actually entrusted to you and build your life around those things. Because the goal isn't simply to become really good at saying no. The goal is to become really clear about what deserves your yes. When you know what matters most, your yes becomes a more confident yes because you know what you're saying yes to—and your no becomes a more confident no because you know what you're protecting.

Leading others to Christ is a relatively modern evangelical Christian term. But is it a Biblical term? This phrase / idea evolved in the 20th century and carries the idea of bringing a non-child of God to a moment in which they become a child of God. But is this found in the Bible? And …

Jesus Christ is not merely part of history—He is its focal point, the Beginning and the End, worthy of all glory, honor, majesty, and praise. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to John's extraordinary vision of the glorified Christ in Revelation. Jesus stands among seven golden lampstands representing His churches, reminding us that the Church exists to shine His light faithfully into a dark world. John sees Christ in overwhelming majesty: clothed with authority, perfectly holy, seeing all things, speaking with supreme power, and prepared to judge with righteousness. His Word penetrates the deepest places of the heart, and His face shines with glorious brilliance. This is the risen Lord who knows His Church completely—and whose return should shape how we live today. That urgency lies behind Christ's messages to the seven churches of Revelation. His words include warning, correction, encouragement, conviction, and invitation. And one of His most searching challenges concerns our love for Him. It is possible to defend Biblical Truth, pursue good works, and still allow our affection for Jesus to grow cold. Accurate theology and faithful service can never replace wholehearted love for the Savior Himself. If your love for Christ has weakened, His invitation remains open: confess, repent, and return. Rekindle your first love, order your life in light of eternity, and live today with the joyful expectation that your glorious King could return at any time. Let us pray. Lord Jesus, forgive me for setting my eyes on the things of this world rather than You, my Redeemer. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. 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 does it mean to become better—and better for what?In this episode of the Faithful Fitness Podcast, Coach Alex Van Houten sits down with builder, entrepreneur, and fitness advocate Brock Holyoak for a conversation about action, discipline, fear, fitness, personal responsibility, and becoming more capable.Brock has a strong bias toward action: stop waiting until you know everything, start with what you have, learn by doing, and allow experience to shape you along the way. From building construction companies to training his body and developing his own fitness philosophy, his message is simple: most people already know enough to begin. The problem is that they often substitute consuming information for taking action.That creates some valuable questions for anyone who has spent too much time researching the perfect workout, diet, business strategy, or next step while doing very little with what they already know.But this conversation also exposes a deeper question at the heart of Faithful Fitness:What is all that improvement for?Strength is useful. Discipline is useful. Confidence is useful. Competence is useful. Becoming capable of doing difficult things is good.But none of those things can determine what deserves our devotion.Throughout the episode, Alex and Brock discuss:Why action often teaches what information cannotThe danger of waiting until you have every piece before you start buildingHow fitness can build competence and confidenceThe difference between perseverance and stubbornnessWhy fear often becomes smaller once you actually confront itThe importance of keeping promises to yourselfHow difficult physical challenges can expand your sense of what you're capable ofWhy passion and desire can create tremendous driveThe limitations of making “the best version of yourself” the ultimate goalFor the Christian, self-improvement is not the destination. It is a tool.Your body, health, strength, time, abilities, and opportunities have been entrusted to you by God. The goal isn't merely to become stronger, tougher, leaner, richer, or more impressive. The goal is to become increasingly capable of faithfully using what God has given you for His glory and the good of the people around you.So perhaps the question isn't simply:Am I getting better?Perhaps the better question is:Am I becoming more faithful?If you already know the next healthy step you need to take, take it. Go for the walk. Lift the weight. Prepare the meal. Get to bed. Make the change.You probably don't need the whole map before you begin.But as you become more capable, keep asking where that capability is ultimately pointed.Want to understand where you currently stand in your own health and stewardship?Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment and evaluate yourself across the four foundations of Integrity, Grit, Growth, and Awe.Start here: https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentMake the most of the body God's given you.Train hard—but pray harder.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.

John knew that the day of The Lord was coming soon and he sought to prepare the hearts of the people for His arrival. As John was going about this mission, Jesus made His way through the crowd to be baptized by John. And though he did not fully understand why Jesus would make this request, he obeyed.

Welcome to Day 2940 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2940 – Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 3:29-35 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2940 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2940 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Curse on Oppression and the Honor of the Humble – Walking in Friendship with the King On our previous podcast, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Eight, we explored Proverbs chapter three, verses twenty-one through twenty-eight. We discovered how hanging on to common sense and discernment brings unshakeable peace, sound sleep, and divine security during unexpected storms. We also learned the vital mandate of neighborly integrity—refusing to delay when we have the power to do good to someone in need today. Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Forty of our ongoing trek, we arrive at the conclusion of Proverbs chapter three, focusing on verses twenty-nine through thirty-five. In these seven closing verses, Solomon completes his royal instructions on social ethics and divine covenant reality. He shifts our gaze from doing good to our neighbors, to actively refraining from harm, violence, and contentious conflict. Then, he pulls back the cosmic veil, showing us how the supreme King of heaven evaluates human pride and humility! Having spent over fifty years focusing on and studying Biblical wisdom, and having accumulated seventy years of life experiences—watching reputations built and destroyed, seeing family lineages thrive or crumble, and observing the ultimate end of arrogant oppressors—I am eager to walk through these powerful verses with you today. Let us open our hearts to the first logical pair of prohibitions regarding our daily human interactions, as recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the connected thoughts found in Proverbs chapter three, verse twenty-nine, and verse thirty. Don't plot harm against your neighbor, for those who live nearby trust you. Don't pick a fight without reason, when no one has done you harm. Look at the solemn ethical boundaries Solomon sets around our daily relationships! In verse twenty-nine, he commands, "Don't plot harm against your neighbor, for those who live nearby trust you." The Hebrew word for plot is charash—which literally means to plow or manufacture! Solomon warns against secretly manufacturing evil schemes against those who live right next door in quiet vulnerability and trust. Then, in verse thirty, he addresses contentious behavior, warning: "Don't pick a fight without reason, when no one has done you harm." The Hebrew word for picking a fight is riv—referring to legal disputes or aggressive verbal warfare. Solomon exposes a dark flaw in human nature: the temptation to exploit a trusting neighbor or stir up unnecessary drama simply to exert power. This connects directly back to what we studied in Proverbs chapter three, verse twenty-seven and verse twenty-eight, where we were commanded not to withhold good when it is in our power to act. Here, Solomon shows us the opposite side of the coin: a wise person never weaponizes their power to harm those who trust them! Over my seventy years of living, I have observed that trust is a fragile, sacred currency. Once you betray the trust of a neighbor, a business partner, or a friend, you fracture a relationship that may take decades to repair. The narrative now deepens, moving from covert scheming to the temptation of envying open oppression, weaving together the logical thoughts found in Proverbs chapter three, verse thirty-one, and verse thirty-two. Don't envy violent people or copy their ways. Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord, but he offers his friendship to the godly. Look at the urgent warning in verse thirty-one: "Don't envy violent people or copy their ways." The phrase "violent people" translates as ish chamas—a man of ruthless, predatory aggression! This links us right back to the warning we examined in Proverbs chapter one, verses ten through nineteen, where a gang of violent men tempted the youth to join their predatory ambush for quick riches. Culturally, ruthless people often appear to win in the short term. They cut corners, intimidate others, seize power, and amass wealth. Solomon commands us: do not envy them, and under no circumstances copy their methods! Look at the staggering cosmic reality Solomon reveals in verse thirty-two to explain why: "Such wicked people are detestable to the Lord, but he offers his friendship to the godly!" In the Hebrew text, a person who is "detestable" is an to'evah—an abomination, something utterly repulsive that cannot exist in the holy presence of God. Now, consider this through the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview! In the heavenly court, where Yahweh sits enthroned surrounded by His celestial council, the ruthless oppressor who builds an empire through violence is viewed not as a successful leader, but as a repulsive outcast whose ways violate cosmic order. But look at what Yahweh offers to the "godly"—those who walk in integrity! He offers them His sod—His intimate friendship and secret counsel! In ancient royal courts, to be admitted into the king's sod meant sitting in his private cabinet. The ruthless man gets temporary plunder, but the humble, godly trekker is admitted into the divine council room, walking as an intimate friend of the King of the cosmos! In my fifty years of studying wisdom, I can assure you that no amount of worldly wealth or power can ever compare to walking in friendship with Almighty God. Solomon now expands this cosmic verdict from individual lives directly into the family home, as recorded in Proverbs chapter three, verse thirty-three. The Lord curses the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. Consider the long-term contrast presented in this single verse! The text contrasts the bayit—the house or household—of the wicked with the home of the righteous. The curse of Yahweh is the spiritual reality of divine opposition resting upon a household that builds its foundation on violence, deceit, and oppression. That house may look like a luxurious mansion on the outside, but its foundation is rotting from spiritual decay. In stark contrast, Yahweh "blesses the home of the righteous!" The word for "home" here is naveh—which refers to a peaceful dwelling, a meadow, or a resting place where a shepherd leads his flock. In my seven decades of life, having raised a family and watched generations grow, I have seen this spiritual law proven time and again. A home built on the fear of the Lord, covenant loyalty, and daily integrity becomes an oasis of peace, safety, and joy, passing down a rich spiritual legacy to children and grandchildren. But a home built on ruthless ambition and covert wickedness eventually collapses under the weight of its own curse. The narrative reaches its ultimate climax as Solomon contrasts how God responds to human pride versus human humility, combining the logical thoughts in Proverbs chapter three, verse thirty-four, and verse thirty-five. The Lord mocks the mockers, but is gracious to the humble. The wise inherit honor, but fools are burdened with disgrace. Look at the divine irony in verse thirty-four: "The Lord mocks the mockers, but is gracious to the humble!" The "mockers"—the letzim—are those arrogant scoffers who laugh at moral boundaries, mock the fear of God, and look down on others. Solomon reveals that Yahweh turns their own arrogance back upon them! This verse is so crucial that both Peter and James quote it directly in the New Testament, declaring that "God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble!" When a person walks in pride, the Almighty King sets Himself in active opposition against them; but when a person bows in humility, Yahweh pours out an endless river of unearned favor and grace. Solomon closes the entire third chapter of Proverbs with verse thirty-five: "The wise inherit honor, but fools are burdened with disgrace!" In the Hebrew language, the word for honor is kavod—which means heavy, weighty, enduring glory! The wise person, who walks in the fear of the Lord, inherits a heavy, lasting legacy of dignity that withstands the test of time. But the fool, who relied on self-conceit and violent shortcuts, ends up carrying a crushing burden of disgrace—qalōn—a shameful memory that blows away like dust. As we complete our trek through Proverbs chapter three today, take time to reflect on the two paths set before you. Are you maintaining integrity in your...

Revelation is not simply a book about future events. It is a message from God meant to shape our lives right now. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef points to the blessing promised in Revelation 1:3 for those who read, hear, and take its words to heart. Through this extraordinary vision, Scripture reveals Jesus Christ as the suffering Savior who died and rose again—and the victorious King who will return in power and righteous judgment. The Messiah who came first in humility will come again in glory. Today, Christ graciously invites sinners to receive eternal life, but Revelation reminds us that history is moving toward a decisive conclusion. His return will bring judgment, vindication, and the fulfillment of every promise God has made. The apostle John received this vision while exiled on Patmos for his faithfulness to Christ. What looked like isolation and defeat became the setting for one of Scripture's greatest revelations of God's sovereignty. John was reminded—and so are we—that history is not spinning out of control. God reigns over the past, present, and future, and every event ultimately serves His purposes. So don't approach Revelation with curiosity alone. Let its warnings awaken you, let its promises strengthen you, and let its vision of the returning Christ lift your eyes above present trials. The darkness will not last forever. Jesus Christ is coming again, and His glory will overcome it all. Join me in prayer. Lord, thank You for the wondrous picture of the glory that is coming that You have provided in Revelation. May I take Your Word seriously as both an admonishment and an encouragement to live for You today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #317 Title: Our Giving During the Biblical Feasts   Web Description: The Lord commands us to comfort His people and speak kindly to Jerusalem. And a perfect time to follow that commandment is during the upcoming feast season. Take this time to give to the people of Israel, who have suffered greatly since October 7, 2023. Please consider supporting Israel through Hargrave Ministries, where all your donations for Israel go directly to organizations that assist the people there, combat anti-Semitism, and educate Christians on our Jewish heritage.    Show Notes: Hargrave Ministries is committed to following the command of the Lord to comfort His people. We consistently give to projects in Israel that provide not only financial support but also physical and emotional support to the people. And Israel needs our support today even more than when we started our ministry of giving. Ever since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, and the wars that followed, the people of Israel have experienced great trauma and difficulty. Now is the time to minister comfort to Israel.   Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed. And Christians need to be blessing Israel. When we give to Israel, something comes through to the people there, letting them know that people from all over the world are with them, comforting them, standing with them, and believing with them to see all the prophecies and the promises of the Word of God come true over the Jewish people and over the land of Israel. The coming feast times are a wonderful opportunity to express our faith for the fulfillment of God's blessings on Israel.   The projects supported by Hargrave Ministries are an excellent way to express this faith. Listen to this podcast and visit www.hargraveministries.org/israel-projects to learn about these organizations and the tremendous work they do to bring healing and material aid to those who have suffered greatly in this time. These are all nonprofit entities in Israel that we have worked closely with for more than eight years and affirm their integrity. And 100% of your donations for Israel through Hargrave Ministries goes to these organizations.   Key Verses:   •       Isaiah 40:1–2. "'Comfort, O comfort My people,' says your God. 'Speak kindly to Jerusalem.'" •       Genesis 12:1–3. "I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse." •       Matthew 25:31–40. "Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you." •       Luke 6:38. "Give, and it will be given to you ... a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over." •       James 1:27. "Pure and undefiled religion … is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress." •       Jeremiah 32:41. "I will … faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul."   Quotes:   •       "God blesses and will continue to bless Israel. And when you really see the motivation of God behind it, it is through Israel that God does intend to bless all the families of the earth." •       "How are we blessed? Because we first have blessed Abraham and the seed of Abraham and all of God's Word and promises for Israel and the Jewish people." •       "God Himself is saying this is what He is doing with His whole heart and His whole soul. He is bringing His people back to the land and planting them once again in Israel. And we want to be part of helping that happen."   Takeaways:   1.    During this season of the fall feasts, we can be a blessing to Israel through our prayers, our finances, and our faith. We can speak kindly to Jerusalem, and we can comfort His people in this time of great tragedy that they have faced since the October 7 attacks. 2.    If we can sweep away the lies of satan about Israel that come through anti-Semitism, we will see God's love and purpose in choosing Israel. 3.    In all the celebration and rejoicing of the feast season, let us also find a place in our hearts to give to Israel and bless the seed of Abraham according to the Word of God in Genesis 12: "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you."

Biblical preaching should give you more than a few helpful ideas for the week. Todd contrasts expository preaching with the me-centered “TED Talk” approach, offers a biblical grid for evaluating worship music, and tackles a listener's question about whether women should serve Communion. Segment 1 • Todd introduces the heart behind his new book, Go Serve Your King. Pre-Order today at FortisInstitute.org/King • Why your faith shouldn't occupy a separate spiritual category from your work, money, recreation, family, and everyday responsibilities. • Christianity isn't a checklist. Learn how ordinary faithfulness in the life God has already given you can glorify your King. Segment 2 • What's the difference between biblical expository preaching and a Christianized TED Talk? • Does your pastor begin with what God has said—or with a topic, felt need, story, or cultural trend? • Todd gives seven questions you can use to evaluate the preaching you hear every Sunday. Segment 3 • Todd examines Andy Stanley's sermons and asks whether they're teaching you the Bible—or simply teaching you Andy Stanley's ideas. • Is your worship music primarily about God and His glory, or about you and your experience? • Five questions to consider when evaluating whether the songs your church sings are biblically faithful, God-centered, and appropriate for congregational worship. Segment 4 • A missionary planting an underground church challenges Todd's view on women administering the Lord's Supper. • Does Scripture actually require elders or men to distribute Communion—or are we turning a biblical pattern into a rule? • Should women read Scripture in the gathered church? Todd considers where participation ends and teaching authority begins. ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

The Doctrine of Balaam: Exposing Corruption in the Modern Prophetic Movement | KIB 547 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing DESCRIPTION THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM: EXPOSING CORRUPTION IN THE MODERN PROPHETIC MOVEMENT Kingdom Intelligence Briefing — Episode 547 What does the biblical account of Balaam reveal about the modern prophetic movement? Balaam presents one of Scripture's most sobering examples of supernatural gifting separated from godly character.  He could encounter genuine supernatural revelation.  He could speak words God placed in his mouth.  He even delivered a remarkable prophecy concerning the coming Messiah.  Yet Balaam's supernatural experiences did not transform his character.  His heart remained vulnerable to money, honor, influence, compromise, and access to kings.  That creates a critical warning for the Church today: ·      Prophetic accuracy does not necessarily equal divine approval. ·      Supernatural power does not equal holiness. ·      Revelation does not equal character. ·      Gifting does not equal maturity. ·      Anointing does not equal obedience. Jesus taught that fruit remains essential in discerning spiritual ministry. In KIB 547, Dr. Michael Lake and Mary Lou Lake undertake a biblical examination of Balaam and discover that the New Testament gives us three powerful categories for understanding prophetic corruption: THE WAY OF BALAAM — 2 Peter 2:15 THE ERROR OF BALAAM — Jude 1:11 THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM — Revelation 2:14 Together, these passages provide a biblical framework for evaluating modern prophetic ministry. The episode examines how genuine or claimed spiritual gifting can become corrupted when joined with covetousness, ambition, political influence, celebrity, sexual compromise, financial manipulation, and the commercialization of spiritual authority. One of the deepest theological observations in the episode is this: Balaam wanted God's power without God's government. That same temptation remains possible today: ·      Prophecy without holiness. ·      Power without obedience. ·      Gifts without character. ·      Authority without accountability. ·      Revelation without Scripture. ·      Anointing without crucifying the flesh. ·      Kingdom authority without submission to the King. True biblical prophetic ministry cannot be separated from covenant faithfulness and obedience. THE WAY OF BALAAM Second Peter 2:15 identifies Balaam as one "who loved gain from wrongdoing." ·      The problem is not legitimate financial support for ministry. ·      The danger begins when money starts influencing ministry. ·      When access to a prophet is sold. ·      When prophetic words become commodities. ·      When larger offerings produce more favorable prophecies. ·      When invitations, platforms, donors, and political connections begin determining what a minister will—or will not—say. ·      At that point, the gift is being monetized. Biblical ministry may receive support, but God's gifts must never become merchandise. THE ERROR OF BALAAM Jude 1:11 exposes another dimension. A minister can begin assuming that because supernatural manifestations continue, God must approve of the minister's character and conduct. Balaam destroys that assumption. Something supernatural happening does not prove that God approves of the vessel. The question must move beyond: "Was the prophecy accurate?" We must also ask: ·      Does the ministry exalt Jesus Christ? ·      Does it submit prophetic claims to Scripture? ·      Does it produce holiness and repentance? ·      Does it strengthen covenant faithfulness? ·      Is there humility? ·      Is there financial and sexual integrity? ·      Is there meaningful accountability? ·      Are failed predictions acknowledged? ·      Does the ministry create dependence upon Christ—or dependence upon the prophet? ·      Does it produce mature disciples—or prophetic consumers? And perhaps one of the most important questions: Will the prophet speak the truth when doing so could cost the prophet money, popularity, political access, followers, conference invitations, or the entire platform? The episode contrasts Balaam with Micaiah, who was willing to suffer rather than alter the word God had given him. THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM Revelation 2:14 takes the warning even further. Personal corruption eventually becomes doctrine. Balaam discovered that he could not directly curse the people God had blessed. Instead, Israel was enticed into idolatry and sexual immorality. The pattern becomes: ·      Gift ·      Revelation ·      Opportunity ·      Desire for reward ·      Compromise ·      Rationalization ·      Prophetic corruption ·      Teaching others to compromise ·      Covenantal judgment The compromised minister eventually becomes an architect of compromise in others. DON'T THROW OUT THE TRUE BECAUSE OF THE FALSE This episode is not an argument for rejecting biblical prophetic ministry. Quite the opposite. The existence of counterfeit ministry makes biblical discernment even more important. Jesus places the doctrine of Balaam inside the Church in Revelation 2:14. The warning to Pergamum therefore provides a serious pattern for examining what the Church tolerates. The answer is not cynicism. The answer is testing. "Prove all things." Return everything to Scripture. Reject the false. Hold fast to what is good. And allow God to restore genuine biblical ministry. The closing message of KIB 547 is ultimately one of hope: God is preparing His remnant, exposing what is false, and calling His people back to Christ, His Kingdom, His Word, holiness, and covenant faithfulness.

Just Because You Can Carry It Doesn't Mean You Should As a working Christian mom, it can be easy to believe that being faithful means being available, capable, and dependable all the time. But what if you were never meant to carry everything? In today's episode, I'm talking about the pressure many women feel to do more, handle more, and keep everything together. The problem isn't always that we're doing bad things. Sometimes we're simply carrying too many good things. God created us with limits. Our time, energy, and attention are finite—and those limitations aren't something we need to overcome. They're something we need to steward. Instead of asking, “How can I fit more into my life?” we can begin asking, “What has God actually asked me to carry?” You'll be encouraged to consider the difference between being capable and being called, recognize when you're carrying responsibilities God hasn't given you, and find freedom in trusting Him with what you cannot carry. You don't have to be the woman who can do it all. You can be the woman who knows what God has asked her to do—and trusts Him with the rest. In This Episode: Why being capable doesn't mean you have to say yes The difference between being capable and being called Why God-given limitations aren't a weakness How to steward your time, energy, and attention A simple question to ask before taking on another responsibility Why saying no doesn't automatically mean you're selfish Learning to trust God with what you cannot carry Scripture Mentioned: Matthew 11:28–30 — Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him. Colossians 1:17 — “In him all things hold together.” Your Takeaway Before you automatically say yes this week, pause and ask: “Is this mine to carry?” Not Can I do it? Not Will someone be disappointed if I don't? But Is this mine to carry? Your capacity is limited for a reason. You don't have to maximize every minute or meet every need. Faithfulness isn't doing everything you're capable of doing. Faithfulness is doing what God has asked you to do within the capacity He has given you. You can put some things down. You can ask for help. You can say no. And you can trust God with the rest.

You can be doing the right thing for the right reason—and still become discouraged enough to stop. After decades of exile in Babylon, a faithful remnant of God's people returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. They had chosen obedience over comfort, but fierce opposition eventually brought their work to a halt. For years, the mission God had given them remained unfinished. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to Haggai 1 and 2, where God confronted His discouraged people with a repeated challenge: “Consider your ways.” The Israelites needed to examine their priorities, remember their calling, and resume the work they had abandoned. Opposition often intensifies when we begin taking God seriously. Distraction, resistance, and discouragement can tempt us to quit at precisely the moment we should persevere. Like the Israelites, we must decide whether we will follow the comfortable majority or remain part of the faithful remnant. Jesus Himself chose obedience over the easier road. In Gethsemane, facing unimaginable suffering, He surrendered to the Father: “Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Christ endured because the glory ahead was greater than the suffering before Him. Whatever opposition you are facing today, do not allow discouragement to destroy your spiritual momentum. Reconsider your priorities, surrender your will to God, and keep moving forward. The road may be difficult, but Christ is worth following all the way to the finish line. Pray with me. Lord Jesus, I pray that my faith would become even stronger so that when I face discouragement, I will not give up but press on to serve You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. 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.

“All of the church needs all of Scripture. It's for men and women, all of it is for men and women. And what do we benefit when we get it all? We get a much clearer, kinder, more gracious, loving view of God.” — Sandra Glahn Professor and scholar Sandra Glahn joins us on the podcast to talk about Biblical women and the crucial, integrated role they play in the story of Scripture. What is the cost to our faith and scholarship when we marginalize or ignore women in the Bible? Professor and scholar Sandra Glahn joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book A Woman's Place Is in the Story: Seeing Women in the Biblical Narrative. In our conversation, Sandra helps us to identify the tendency to dismiss women in the Bible or sequester their contributions into brief cameos — all to the detriment of our full understanding of the overarching Biblical narrative. Sandra lays out a set of literary tools to help us improve our reading skills, and then reexamines several narratives by modeling the use of these tools. Our conversation brings insight for scholarship and for devotional reading, and I think you'll enjoy it.

Today we dive into a topic that's often met with resistance: submission to government authorities. This concept is repeated throughout Scripture, from Romans 13 to 1 Peter 2, and even Jesus himself taught on this subject. But why should we submit to those in power, especially when we disagree or our government is corrupt? As Christians, we're temporary residents on this earth, which helps us remember that our irritations with the government are not as significant as they seem. How do we balance our obedience to God with our submission to earthly authorities? The importance of recognizing the difference between temporal and spiritual matters, and how we should submit to the former while resisting the latter. This episode encourages listeners to think critically about their relationship with the government while still serving God. If you're interested in learning more about how to navigate the complex relationship between faith and government, tune in to this episode.

What does it look like to raise a girl who is creative, courageous, resilient, and willing to step into the opportunities God places before her? On this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, Melissa Bearden and Natalie Ambrose shine a spotlight on the entrepreneurial spirit in Christian girls—and explore how parents can help their daughters discover and steward the gifts, passions, and talents God has uniquely given them.  Entrepreneurship isn't simply about starting a business. For a Christian girl, it can be an opportunity to learn confidence, leadership, problem-solving, perseverance, and faithful stewardship while keeping Christ at the center. Melissa and Natalie discuss the qualities they see in Christian women who blaze new trails, from faith and vision to humility, teachability, diligence, and a willingness to wrestle through the ups and downs of success. They also explore the importance of helping girls pursue God's purpose rather than simply chasing a personal passion.  In a Raising Godly Girls Minute, AHG Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay encourages parents not to hold back young entrepreneurs simply because they are young. Whether a girl loves baking, making jewelry, designing, strategizing, or solving problems, small opportunities can teach her to take healthy risks, learn from failure, and invest her gifts in God's Kingdom. Melissa and Natalie offer practical ways families can give girls room to explore new interests, praise resilience rather than perfection, and keep their identities firmly rooted in Christ rather than in a particular talent or hobby.  The conversation also highlights how American Heritage Girls provides girls ages 5 to 18 with opportunities to explore passions, develop skills, practice Biblical leadership, and grow in resilience. From the Entrepreneurship and Biblical Leadership Badges to the many possibilities within AHG's Badge Frontiers, girls have countless opportunities to discover how God has wired them and consider how their gifts can be used to serve Him and others. Listeners will also hear about Heritage Headlines and the inspiring stories of AHG Alumnae who are following God into new territories.  Whether your daughter is already dreaming up her first business or simply loves creating, solving, leading, or serving, this episode offers encouragement to nurture her gifts while teaching her the most important lesson of all: her identity is not found in what she can accomplish, but in who she is in Christ.    Three Things to Consider:  Give your girl space to explore new hobbies, skills, and passions.  Praise her resilience and willingness to learn through failure—not just her performance or success.  Help her keep her identity rooted in the Lord, because passions may change, but her identity in Christ endures.    Scriptures Referenced:  1 Corinthians 12  Luke 14:28  Matthew 25:40    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.

Our Daily Scripture Readings and Reflection: There are only three things we need to know about the devil. They are all Biblical, and we see each of them revealed in today's Gospel.

OCF Crosspoint Show Notes with Lt Col Jeff Miller, USAF (Ret.) Opening Summary "How does a Christian in the military achieve balance between work and family?" A cadet asked Lt Col Jeff Miller, USAF (Ret.), that question during a panel event for ROTC, and after 34 years in the Air Force, 34 years of marriage, and four children, Jeff realized he didn't have a good answer. Neither did the seasoned officers around him. One active-duty squadron commander admitted he felt like he was failing his family, his squadron, and Jesus every day. That unsettling moment sent Miller into a study of Scripture that reframed the question entirely. Instead of balance, he offers a different word: ascendancy—Christ's priority so eclipsing every other priority that his values become yours, and those values guide every competing decision. Miller, an OCF local leader for ROTC at Mississippi State University, unpacks that framework, what biblical rest is, and how to discern a hard season from an unsustainable one. A companion Bible study by Jeff Miller on this topic is in editing and will be posted at ocfusa.org soon—link to follow.   Questions answered and themes covered in this interview include: How does a Christian in the military balance work and family? Balance is likely the wrong goal. The nature of military service does not lend itself to balance, and what most people are seeking when they seek balance is control—a life that feels manageable. Jeff Miller describes it as sitting on a seesaw waiting for someone of equal weight, only to have an 800-pound gorilla drop onto the other end: a national crisis, a deployment, a command billet where you are effectively owned by the organization, a child with special needs, or a personal struggle you brought on yourself. None of those are within your control. Miller's own attempt to answer the question from a panel stage amounted to little more than warning cadets to tell their future spouse what they were getting into. The better question, he concluded, is not how to balance two priorities but whether Christ is ascendant over both. How do I put Christ first in a demanding military career? Study Christ closely enough to know what he values and let those values decide the tradeoffs because when his values become yours, you can ask which principle he values most in this moment. Putting Christ first means letting him ascend over, eclipse, and swallow up every other priority, including family. Jeff Miller calls this ascendancy, drawing on Luke 14, where Jesus says that anyone who loves family more than him cannot be his disciple, and on the parables of the pearl and the hidden treasure, where the finder sells everything without hesitating (Matthew 13:44–46). Practically, ascendancy works like this: when you study Christ closely enough to know what he values, his values become yours, and you can ask which principle he values most in this moment. Sometimes the answer is that military duty takes precedence and family runs at a temporary deficit; at other times, it might mean the opposite. Miller admits he entered service with Christ merely augmenting his own agenda; ascendancy means Christ is the agenda. Single service members can ask the same question of work and life. What's the difference between Biblical rest and taking time off? Rest is not the cessation of movement. In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus invites the weary to take his yoke—an instrument of work—and learn from him, promising rest for their souls. Jeff Miller notes that taking a master's yoke in that culture meant submitting to that master's instruction: put yourself under my program, and I'll show you how to find rest. That reframes Sabbath. Getting away from the workplace or doing nothing at all isn't the point; ceasing normal activity in order to reflect on what God has done, what he has given you strength to do, and who he is (and to give thanks) is the point. Family fun is good but a distant second. Miller confesses that his beach vacations used to be packed so full that he came home exhausted, having never sat still to watch the sun come up and meditate on God's Word. How can a Christian find rest during a high ops tempo or deployment? Rest travels with you. In a high-tempo environment, the rhythm of a weekly Sabbath may not be available, but daily rest is, even if found only in 5-minute increments. Military life has hurry-up-and-wait moments built into it: heavy information loads and rapid decisions, then a pause. Jeff Miller's counsel is to memorize Scripture so that you have something to reflect on in those pauses, to thank God for the surge he just carried you through, and to ask for help with what's ahead. Waiting for a deployed chapel service or a real day off usually means waiting a long time. Miller applies the same principle in retirement: he swims laps for half an hour daily, where there's no conversation and nothing to look at, and meditates on Scripture—coming out physically rested and spiritually restored. How do I know if a demanding assignment is God's calling or not? Three sources of guidance apply: God's Word, the Holy Spirit, and the counsel of wise people around you. God's Word tells you what God values, which is the starting point for sorting through competing priorities. Jeff Miller adds a hard question to weigh alongside it: can anyone else fill your role? In general, someone can almost always fill your place in the military, but no one will ever fill your place as a husband, wife, mother, or father. The Holy Spirit teaches, but struggles to speak to someone who isn't in the Word and hasn't taken the time to ask. And wise counsel requires actually being in fellowship, which is difficult when you move every one to three years. This is one reason Miller points to the OCF network for relationships that cross assignments and miles. After weighing all three, you have to act, and the action may be drastic. Can a Christian officer step back from career advancement and still be faithful? Yes. If God calls you to separate or slow down, you should do it, and he will take care of you. Jeff Miller is one example: he stepped off the fast track and moved to the reserves, serving in seasons that ranged from six days a month to full-time as an Air Reserve technician. That pace let him meet his obligations at home while staying in uniform for 34 years and walking alongside young officers. He also describes a friend who left active duty for the airlines specifically because Christ was ascendant, using the income to support ministry and the travel benefits for long-term mission work overseas. Miller acknowledges the cost: he watched classmates reach flag rank and felt the envy. But he wouldn't trade the joy of serving quietly and helping younger commanders succeed.

I am loyal to you or God so long as you are loyal to me. Does this mean - I am loyal to you until you stop benefiting me? Is that Biblical loyalty?
