This is such an incredible conversation to wrap up our Fridays in the Fall, Wider Lens series. Jerry Flowers is bringing encouragement about the patterns of your life and posture of your heart as we talk through his new book Heart Rehab: Finding the You God Created You to Be. Lean into the discomfort, create disciplines for preparedness, and surrender your need for control in order to step into your true calling as a son or daughter of the Lord Almighty. He loves you, he is for you, and we can trust him with our hearts!   Episode Highlights: Stop blaming everyone else. Take time for self reflection.  If we invite God in, He can use all seasons for our good and growth. Intimacy with the Lord allows us to grow into the people God created us to be.  Discipline and preparation go hand in hand. The more disciplined you are, the more prepared you are for what God has next.  Culture influences us to mislabel our fears, thoughts and anxieties. Make sure you are labeling them correctly. Strong core beliefs help us combat the lies of society and satan. Quotes from Today's Episode: I recognize many times, our placement in life isn't just because of problems, it's because of patterns. -Jerry Flowers Patterns reveal character. -Jerry Flowers Patterns are one of the ushers to certain seasons. -Jerry Flowers We want to blame the enemy, but we have to look at ourselves too. -Jerry Flowers Be aware of the enemy, for sure. But I think sometimes that keeps us from taking responsibility for our part. -Jerry Flowers It may not make sense right then, but later it'll make sense. -Jerry Flowers I see things that God put me through, before we got married, that helped me when I got married. -Dr. Kim We want to be whole enough where the Lord can pour into us and we can pour back out.- Jerry Flowers If you want results, you lean into discomfort.- Jerry Flowers What changed for me is realizing that my mind can lie to me. -Jerry Flowers A Wider Lens: Questions for Self Reflection Look at your daily life and identify one unhealthy pattern you've grown comfortable with. What one discipline could you start practicing to combat this pattern and prepare for what God has next? Identify an area of your life you haven't fully surrendered to the Lord. Choose a Scripture verse to meditate on as you commit to trusting Him completely.   Mentioned in this Episode: Website: Jerryflowersministries.com ; redefinedtv.net Facebook: facebook.com/JerryFlowersMinistries ; facebook.com/@redefinedtv Instagram: instagram.com/jerryflowers.jr ; instagram.com/redefinedtv YouTube: youtube.com/@Beredefined TikTok: tiktok.com/@jerryflowers.jr Heart Rehab: Finding the You God Created You to Be  

Motivation will get you started, but only discipline will keep you on track. In Episode 105 of the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP and Lucas dive deep into the struggle every leader, athlete, and believer faces: how to stay focused on your mission when distractions, doubt, and setbacks come your way. Drawing on Navy SEAL training, Biblical wisdom, and real-world leadership experience, this conversation unpacks: Why motivation fades but discipline carries you through the grind How to stay on God's path even when the road feels unclear The difference between perseverance and redirection — and how to know God's will in those moments Practical strategies to overcome criticism, fear, and self-doubt How discipline builds resilience and long-term success in life, faith, and leadership Scripture references like Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 3:5-6, and Matthew 6:33 provide the foundation for a disciplined, purpose-driven life. Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or simply trying to stay true to your calling, this episode will equip you to move forward with clarity and confidence.

In this Bible Story, Jesus feeds five thousand people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. The crowds want him to be made king, so Jesus departs before the crowd becomes violent. The disciples depart on a boat while Jesus stays on shore to pray. Then, in power and glory, Jesus walks on water to return with his disciples. This story is inspired by John 6:1-10, Matthew 14:14-33. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Matthew 14:29 from the King James Version.Episode 193: As Jesus resumed his teaching around the shores of Galilee, the crowd around Him grew to swelling numbers. After teaching them all day, He had them sit for a meal. Though there were only two small fish and five round loaves of bread, Jesus showed the crowd that He has the power to provide for their needs. He multiplied the food to feed over five-thousand people! After this, the crowd became frenzied and Jesus sent His disciples ahead of Him on the sea while He escaped to pray. As the disciples were on the sea in the late of night, Jesus appeared walking on the water next to them. And though they were frightened they got a first-hand glimpse at what faith in Jesus can do.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Today's episode is an UPDATE on what is happening with the Feast of Trumpets that you don't want to miss!  I also am covering the random turning for today, which comes to us from Psalm 56: 1-13: "Prayer for Relief from Tormentors."  David shows how you can trust God more than anyone else and how you can be open with Him about all your thoughts, issues, problems, and praises.  You are 100% safe to open up to God, and you ought to because He knows what you're thinking and doing at all times anyway, so you're not going to surprise Him with your vulnerabilities and admissions to Him.  In fact doing so brings you closer to Him in your own perspective of intimacy, knowing that He will always love you no matter what you do, so long as you remain humble and have a healthy fear, and a contrite heart toward Him. What a blessing to know that, isn't it! If you are blessed by today's Bible study, please support my channel by liking, subscribing, commenting, and sharing with your friends and family!  I am not a Pastor, and agree with God's word that women are not supposed to be Pastors.  However, all people are called to share the gospel. It is perfectly acceptable and Biblical for women to lead Bibles studies outside the church as an ancillary addition to the church, and especially if it is a viable avenue for study of the Word on a daily basis, like I'm doing on this show, and paving the way for all of us to be closer to the Lord and become more knowledgeable of the Bible.  If you care to contribute to my work with the Daily Bible study and sharing the Gospel, as part of your tithes and offerings, you can do so through PayPal by sending it to my PayPal address of: ReneHoladay@gmail.com You are also welcome to email me at the same email address above if you have any thoughts you'd like to share about this episode!    Thank you for watching and God Bless you all! ;() Transcript

Your mindset is the steering wheel of your life—point it the wrong way, and you'll drift into defeat. Point it the right way, and you'll build strength, resilience, and purpose.In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down the concept of mindset selection—the truth that you have the power to choose how you think, how you respond, and how you grow. Instead of being driven by emotions or circumstances, you can deliberately select a mindset that produces victory.This conversation is raw, practical, and full of fire. From biblical wisdom to SEAL-tested mental toughness, you'll learn how to recognize destructive thought patterns, reject passivity, and build the mindset of a man who refuses to settle.

Introduction Are you clinging to what's comfortable—even if it's draining your health, energy, or spirit? Maybe it's a job you hate, a routine that no longer serves you, or even old thought patterns that keep you stuck. In this episode of Her Holistic Healing, Alexandra (author, RN, and Christian holistic health coach) unpacks the powerful biblical lessons of the Israelites and why we often prefer the “mud pies” of what's familiar instead of stepping into God's best for us. If you're a Christian woman longing for vibrant health, renewed faith, and the courage to step into your God-given identity, this episode is for you. You'll learn how to recognize limiting beliefs, let go of unhealthy patterns, and walk boldly into the abundant life God has designed. Episode Highlights (Time-Stamped) 00:00 – Free gift: Grab the More Energy Starter Guide to reclaim your health and peace. 00:26 – Why moving away from modern medicine and toward God's design matters. 01:23 – Alexandra's personal story: staying in a draining job for 10 years because it felt “safe.” 02:44 – A coworker's comment that revealed the trap of settling for what's familiar. 03:13 – Biblical parallel: the Israelites in slavery, longing for Egypt even after God freed them. 05:33 – How God provided manna and miracles, yet the Israelites still clung to comfort. 07:18 – Why sticking to “at least I know what I'm getting” can keep us from breakthrough. 08:46 – Real-life examples: jobs, relationships, homeschooling, health habits, and daily routines. 10:39 – The danger of ignoring God's nudges toward change. 11:08 – God delights in your welfare, happiness, and prosperity (Matthew 7:11, Psalm 35:27). 12:39 – C.S. Lewis on settling for mud pies when God offers a holiday at the sea. 14:32 – Why “familiar” doesn't always mean “good” for you. Key Takeaways Comfort can become a cage. Just because you know what to expect doesn't mean it's God's best for you. The Israelites' story is our story. It's easy to want Egypt's “free food” instead of trusting God's promised land. God delights in your well-being. He wants to give you good gifts and a life marked by peace and joy. Faith requires movement. You may need to step away from what's familiar to experience the healing and abundance God has prepared. Call-to-Action

The Epic of God by Louis McCall https://www.amazon.com/Epic-God-Louis-McCall/dp/B0DVJ5G6W2 Louismccallinternational.com Jesus used parables that were fictional to make practical and spiritual points, provoke thought, and enlighten. The Epic of God is a speculative fictional account of the epic story of our heroic God, lover, and savior from eternity past to eternity future. Though fictional, this story is based on Biblical history, hints, and prophecy taken from scripture, brought to life and woven together by the narrative of a watcher angel.About the author Louis McCall was born in Chicago, Illinois and attended Northwestern University where he received a Ph.D. Later, he also attended the National War College of the National Defense University. Louis was an Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University prior to a 36-year career in the U.S. Department of State, first as a Foreign Service officer and then as a foreign affairs Civil Service employee where he served as Consul General in Florence, Italy, Chargé d'Affaires in Brunei, U.S. Representative to the Republic of San Marino, and Assistant Inspector General. He lived in or worked in, at least temporarily, 60 countries on six continents. Whether in academia or as a diplomat, Louis found opportunities to live his faith, including part-time ministry of the good news in word and in song, including co-laboring with missionaries, national church leaders, and the underground church. When ministering early in his diplomatic career from the pulpit of a great church in Calcutta, India, Louis said to those in attendance that he had determined not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ. That has been a commitment he has endeavored to keep over the years. In his final two years at the Department of State he organized and led the National Day of Prayer observances in the Department. Now, in his new career as an author, he has the pleasure of greater freedom in sharing what God has placed in his heart. Louis is active simultaneously in two churches in Washington, D.C. One is a multi-site non-denominational church, where he is an elder, and the other a Catholic church where he is a regular cantor, though not a Catholic himself. He has managed this with the blessing and full knowledge of pastors and priests. This has been an outgrowth of his early association with a mixed protestant-Catholic charismatic house-based worship group, his association with the late Mother Teresa of Calcutta, his Catholic charismatic wife, and guest ministry in churches and bible schools of various denominations while living in or working in other countries.

Because of the heinous crime committed against Charlie Kirk, cold blooded murder, many people are divided on whether his murderer should receive the death penalty. Utah is a state that upholds capital punishment for certain crimes. According to God, there are actually two reasons for the death penalty  The first reason is because man is God's highest creation, and we are an image bearer of God (Genesis 1:26). To murder a person, who is made in the image of God, is in essence to slap God in the face, dishonor, and sin directly against God. Listen as Bill and Annette provide biblical insight in regard to capitol punishment and what God has said in His word.

The Bible describes an enemy that opposes God's plan and plots against God's people. When you think of that enemy, what comes to mind?

In Our Need for Each Other, Cindi McMenamin explores Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 and Proverbs 18:1 to show why God created us for connection, not isolation.

Israel is often in the headlines for conflict—but there's another story you need to hear.Beyond the headlines, Israel has emerged as a global innovation hub and a rising player in international markets. Today, Brian Mumbert joins us to share why investing in Israel could be a strategic opportunity worth considering.Brian Mumbert is Vice President and Regional Sales Executive at Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Why Invest in Israel?At first glance, investing in a nation experiencing conflict may seem counterintuitive. But economies often demonstrate resilience in times of war. Israel is no exception. With robust defense spending, a thriving entrepreneurial spirit, and a deeply ingrained culture of saving and financial discipline, the nation continues to grow.In fact, one of Israel's largest banks gave out piggy banks to families nationwide to encourage saving—a small example of the country's ingrained culture of stewardship and fiscal responsibility.For those wondering about safety, Israel offers a surprisingly secure environment for investment. The Tel Aviv 125 Index, which tracks the nation's 125 largest companies, operates much like the U.S. stock exchanges. Israel has transitioned from an emerging to a developed economy, putting it in the same global category as many European nations. Its GDP is forecasted to grow by 3.3% in 2025 and 4.6% in 2026, with inflation targeted at a steady 2%—numbers comparable to the U.S. outlook.The “Startup Nation” AdvantageIsrael's reputation as a hub of innovation is well-earned. In 2024 alone, U.S. giants invested billions in Israeli startups. Google acquired cloud security firm Wiz for $32 billion, while Palo Alto Networks purchased CyberArk, an identity management leader, for $25 billion. Everyday technologies like Apple's Face ID and SodaStream also trace their roots back to Israel.Large U.S. companies buying small Israeli firms is common since it's part of the fabric of their economy.While technology dominates headlines, Israel's economy is diverse. Financials, industrials, and defense sectors have also posted strong returns. In fact, nearly every sector reported double-digit growth in 2025. The Israeli shekel has also appreciated, further boosting investor confidence.International ties enhance Israel's economic opportunities. The Abraham Accords have opened new trade relationships across the Middle East, while defense partnerships with Europe have surged amid global conflicts. Recent agreements, such as a $35 billion natural gas export deal with Egypt, demonstrate the nation's expanding role in global energy markets.The Timothy Plan Israel Common Values FundFor investors who want exposure to Israel's growth while remaining true to their faith, Timothy Plan offers the Israel Common Values Fund. This actively managed fund holds 58 companies, giving broad diversification within the Israeli market.True to Timothy Plan's mission, the fund excludes companies that profit from abortion, pornography, or other activities inconsistent with biblical values. Even in Israel, they carefully screen companies to ensure they align with Christian principles.Faith-based investors increasingly want their portfolios to reflect their values. Advances in technology have made it easier to screen companies for alignment, though Timothy Plan has been doing it faithfully since 1994. They're not just avoiding harmful investments, they're enabling believers to steward their resources in ways that honor God.”Practical Advice for InvestorsIf you've never seen faith-based options in your portfolio, start by talking to your advisor. Share what you're passionate about—your church involvement, your giving priorities, your desire for biblical stewardship. When advisors know your values, they can help you align your investments with them.The Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund provides a practical way to support Israel and benefit from its dynamic economy—all while investing according to biblical principles. To explore this opportunity, visit TimothyPlan.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like some biblical insight on the power of tithing.

Emotions are a gift from God, but how we express them can either build up or tear down. In Episode 261 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra explore the difference between emotional maturity (controlling and managing emotions) and emotional integrity (honestly expressing emotions without shame or suppression).

Biblical principles for expressing emotions in a healthy, God-honoring way. How emotional maturity and integrity strengthen marriage and parenting.

In this episode, Dr. Kim and John West discuss “Stockholm Syndrome Christianity” and how cultural captivity can pull Christians away from biblical truth. They explore the impact of these influences on marriage, from weakened faithfulness to the generational effects of broken promises on children. The conversation highlights the need for intentionality in guarding our hearts, shaping our children's worldview, and staying rooted in truth. Listeners will be encouraged to build marriages that mutually support, advocate, and thrive in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction.   Episode Highlights: As believers, what we are consuming directly affects how boldly we live out our faith. Too many believers aren't prioritizing biblical truth and their relationships reflect their culture more than their faith. The church has not been immune to cultural influences.  Culture tells us that feelings trump biblical truth.   Quotes from Today's Episode: If you live your life oriented towards God's truth, it's designed for our flourishing.- John West Every spouse needs to be their partner's biggest advocate.- John West The impact on kids from broken marriages is traumatic. - John West If you have a certain feeling, you don't have to act it out. - John West If you're listening to a never-ending stream of lies, you're going to become very reticent about speaking up or living based on your Christian beliefs.- John West What I saw in the christian community is a lot of christians being culturally captive. - John West If you're a christian, especially in industries, you spend a lot of your life around cultural captors.  Many christians have adopted this secular view that sex isn't to be reserved for marriage.- John West If you have a diet in your entertainment consumption for you and your kids, that everyone's doing it- it's normalized, it's going to affect how you live. -John West It's really important to be in the world, not of the world. -Dr. Kim You need to be wise enough and intentional enough to know that putting that stuff inside of you is going to have an impact- and impact your kids.- John West The number 1 thing is you need to ask yourself- who is really raising your kids? Couples' Conversation Guide: As you reflect on your marriage relationship, where do you see culture influencing you the most? Are there biblical truths you've found harder to live out in today's world? Why? Do you believe there are any “outdated” parts of the Bible? Who or what has the largest influence on your marriage? Who or what has the largest influence on your children? Mentioned in this Episode: Learn more about the Discovery Institute and John West. Find Awesome Marriage on Instagram!

When you board a plane, you trust the pilot to get you safely to your destination. Shouldn't you be just as careful about who advises you on your financial future? Financial guidance isn't just about numbers—it's about trust, worldview, and values. The right advisor can help you make decisions that align with your faith and priorities.Every advisor brings a worldview to the table. Too often, cultural definitions of success revolve around accumulation alone. But biblical stewardship points higher—toward faithfulness, contentment, and generosity. That's why this choice is not only financial—it's spiritual. You're entrusting someone with influence over how you manage God's money, and that requires discernment.Clarify What You NeedBefore beginning your search, determine what type of help you're looking for. Do you need comprehensive planning—covering retirement, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and generosity—or just investment management? Do you want a one-time plan or an ongoing relationship? The clearer your goals, the easier it will be to evaluate fit.One of the most important questions to ask is whether your advisor is a fiduciary, legally obligated to put your interests first. Compensation models vary:Commission-based advisors earn by selling products, which may create conflicts of interest.Fee-based advisors charge fees but may also receive commissions.Fee-only advisors are paid solely by clients, helping ensure objectivity.No matter the model, insist on full transparency about fees and expenses.Credentials and CharacterCredentials demonstrate an advisor's training and licensing, but character matters just as much. Evaluate potential advisors in three areas:Values – Do they share your biblical worldview?Competence – Do they have the training and experience to serve families like yours?Process – Can they explain how they build a financial plan and how they are compensated?A Practical Process for Finding the Right AdvisorBuild a shortlist – Ask trusted friends, family, or church leaders for recommendations. Explore advisors who share biblical values, like Certified Kingdom Advisors® at FindaCKA.com.Do a background check – Verify licenses, review disclosure documents, and check for disciplinary history.Interview at least three advisors – Treat this like a job interview. You're hiring for a critical role.Request a written scope and fee schedule – Get clarity in writing.Pray and take your time – Don't let anyone pressure you into quick decisions.When meeting with potential advisors, ask:“How are you compensated? Please outline every fee and expense.”“What role does faith play in your financial advice, and how do you define success?”“What's your process for creating a financial plan or investment strategy?”Proverbs 11:14 reminds us: “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”Red Flags and Green LightsBe alert for warning signs such as:Promises of unrealistic performanceVague answers about feesPressure to move assets quicklyLook instead for encouraging signs:Transparent communicationA listening-first approachAdvice that integrates faith and family prioritiesThe right advisor depends on your season of life. Young families may need guidance on budgeting, insurance, and college savings, while retirees often seek tax-efficient withdrawals, income strategies, and estate planning. Ask potential advisors about their typical clients to see if their expertise aligns with your needs.Keeping Faith at the CenterA trusted advisor can help you avoid mistakes, manage taxes, stay disciplined during market swings, and design a generosity plan that reflects your calling. Most importantly, the right advisor will keep your focus on faithfulness, not just finances—helping you honor God with every decision.If you're ready to seek biblically wise financial advice, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor®.

Does life feel like one giant race—school drop-offs, work deadlines, sports practices, church activities, dinner, laundry, repeat? For so many working moms, the constant rush has become normal. But here's the truth: hurry isn't just a schedule problem—it's a soul problem. In this episode of Faith Led Working Moms, we're talking about how hurry is draining your peace, keeping you anxious, distracted, and exhausted—and how God offers you a different way to live. Through the story of Mary and Martha, we'll uncover the powerful reminder that Jesus never called you to a life of rush and pressure. He calls you to rest, presence, and peace. You'll walk away with: Biblical encouragement to resist the cycle of hurry and embrace God's rhythm of peace. Practical ways to create margin, practice presence, and build rhythms instead of hustle. Faith-filled perspective on how slowing down restores your soul and relationships. Breaking the cycle of hurry isn't about doing less—it's about doing life differently. You'll learn how to shift from striving to surrender, from rushing to resting, and from living overwhelmed to living faithfully aligned.   If you're ready to take this deeper and actually build daily rhythms that reflect your identity in Christ, check out the Faithfully Balanced course linked here.
