Podcasts about biblical teaching

Hey Guys! After a little break last week, I'm back with the team for a conversation about building endurance in the Christian faith through daily obedience, patience, and spiritual growth.Sanctification is a process, and so is building endurance. Using a lesson I learned from “ego lifting” in Pilates, we talk about why God may be more interested in our faithful reps than the amount of weight we're trying to carry. So many of us want the big moment, the visible calling, or the impressive testimony, but God often develops our character through the quiet monents each day.We talk about walking in step with the Holy Spirit without trying to rush ahead, remaining faithful when our growth feels invisible, and trusting that God is establishing roots beneath the surface.Through the lives of Abraham, Moses, and David, we're reminded that their public moments of faith were preceded by years of private preparation and obedience.If you're a new believer, discouraged by your pace, comparing your calling to someone else's, or wondering whether you're truly growing, I pray this episode encourages you. Baby steps are still steps. You don't have to reach the finish line first; you just have to keep going, looking to Jesus as the founder and perfecter of your faith.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this message, Samuel Goulet continues The Mountain Church's family series by exploring how the culture of our homes shapes the people we become and the impact we have on the world around us. He walks through five important questions every family can ask: what is being taught, nurtured, built, encouraged, and reached? With practical examples and heartfelt insight, Samuel encourages families to make Jesus the foundation of their home, teach faith relationally, nurture growth with intention, speak words that build up, and create homes that reflect the love, generosity, and presence of God to others.

In this message, "Authority That Takes Territory: In The Name Of Jesus," Pastor John Galloway opens Mark 1:21-28 to show us what happened when Jesus walked into the synagogue at Capernaum and taught with an authority the people had never heard before. When an unclean spirit cried out, Jesus spoke one command and the enemy had to bow. That same authority has been given to you. Pastor John reminds us that our most valuable possession is our knowledge of God, and that spiritual warfare is over what you believe and what you know about your God. Taking territory begins in your mind, and when we truly know Him, we begin to take territory and the enemy loses ground. Darkness only has leverage in your life when it remains hidden, but the God you serve binds what binds you, torments what torments you, and destroys what has destroyed you. Through the power of the name of Jesus, you have been given the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy. What Jesus did in His house, you have the right to do in yours. Scripture: Mark 1:21-28, Luke 10:19, Romans 12:1, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Hosea 4:6 Stay connected at https://calvaryfl.com

The Anointing That Destroys the Enemy's Yoke Matthew 11:28-30 When Jesus tells us to take His yoke, it implies we must first get rid of the enemy's heavy yoke. These verses show how God shatters the heavy weights of oppression, legalism, and fear. Isaiah 40:29-31 (NKJV): "He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength... But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." "Waiting on the Lord" is the Old Testament equivalent of being yoked to Christ. It's an exchange—you lay down your limited, human capability and pick up His infinite, tireless power.

Have you ever become so familiar with your struggle that it started to shape your identity? In episode three of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio is joined by Christine Caine as she opens John 5 and unpacks the story of the man who sat beside the Pool of Bethesda waiting for his breakthrough. Through Scripture and personal testimony, Christine challenges us to consider the ways we've become comfortable sitting in disappointment, bitterness, fear, shame, or unbelief—and reminds us that Jesus is still asking, "Do you want to be healed?" Healing isn't just about leaving something behind; it's about stepping into the purpose God has prepared for us. Whether you're carrying wounds from your past, struggling to trust God with your future, or simply feeling stuck in your faith, this message will encourage you to get up, pick up your mat, and walk in the freedom Jesus has already made available.

The Heart of a Godly Father: Strong Women, Strong Men, and the Mandate of a Godly Father "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." — Joshua 24:15 Being a father is not merely about financial provision or natural discipline—it is about priestly authority. When a father kneels in prayer, the spiritual climate of the home realigns. Satan hates godly fathers because when a man takes his place at the altar, it cuts off the enemy's access to the children and grandchildren. Fathers, your family shouldn't just see you working hard in the natural; they must see you wielding weapons of spiritual warfare in the secret place! The kingdom of darkness has spent decades attempting to emasculate, isolate, and neutralize men within the church culture, turning them into passive spectators who let women carry the entire spiritual weight of the house. It is time for the men to stand up, shake off the spirit of apathy, and take the front lines of the battleground. A strong man does not rule his house with an iron fist of fleshly control; he leads through the humility, sacrifice, and uncompromised boldness of Jesus Christ. He knows how to speak directly to the mountains in his life, command sickness to leave his children, and issue legal decrees in the spirit realm that shatter generational curses once and for all. #ApostleCathyCoppola #GodlyFathers #StrongMenStrongWomen #KingdomAuthority #HouseOfGlory #MightyWindTV #SpiritualGatekeepers #PriestlyAnointing #Fatherhood #GenerationalLegacy #SpiritualWarfare #ApostolicMen

In Totality Podcast is back this week with a powerful conversation with Laurie Krieg on sexuality, surrender, marriage, parenting, and the love of God.As parents, many of us feel anxious or unprepared when it comes to conversations around sexuality, puberty, pornography, identity, and culture. Laurie gives such practical wisdom on how to talk to our children with truth, grace, clarity, and love without panic or shame.Laurie shares her testimony of wrestling with same-sex attraction, sexual brokenness, shame, and the deeper longings beneath desire: the need to be seen, known, chosen, and loved.

Samuel Goulet shares a practical and encouraging message on how strong families are built by centering the home on Christ. He explains that discipleship begins at home through both testimony and structure—parents modeling God's faithfulness while creating a culture marked by love, forgiveness, compassion, and daily spiritual formation. This episode challenges families to move beyond condemnation, embrace conviction, and intentionally build homes where God's Word is lived out, passed on, and reflected in everyday life.

What's up family?I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be faithful with anything that God has placed in our hands, especially when we may not always feel confident, qualified, or sure of where we fit, in the space of ministry.Sometimes we may look at other people's gifts, platforms, ministries, or callings and wonder if what God is doing in us is enough. But the more I sit with it, the more I'm reminded that growth is not always measured by platforms, numbers, titles, or visibility. Sometimes the deepest growth is what God is doing quietly in our hearts.In this episode, I talk through wrestling with the insecurity of being a woman in ministry, keeping the focus on Christ, and learning to trust that our testimony is enough when it points people back to the Savior.For anyone who feels unsure of their place, insecure in their calling, or tempted to compare what God is doing in their life to someone else's, I pray this episode reminds you that where God has you matters. Your home matters. Your local church matters. Your dorm matters. Keep the main thing the main thing: Christ, His glory, and making Him name known wherever He sends you.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before visiting a church or following an online pastor, make sure you ask the hard questions about who Jesus is, how salvation works, and whether the church stands on biblical truth or cultural compromise.

What's up family? This week i'm back with a conversation on anxiety, surrender, and the peace of God.I've been going through Philippians 4 and what it means to bring everything to God in prayer: every request, every worry, every need, and every anxious thought. So often, we say we trust God, but our minds are still racing and our hearts are still carrying what He invited us to surrender. I talk through making our requests known to God with thanksgiving, the difference between reading scripture and truly meditating on it, and how His peace guards our hearts and minds in a way nothing else can.This episode is for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or tired from trying to figure everything out on their own. I pray this reminds you that God is not asking you to carry it alone. He is inviting you to come to Him, trust Him, and receive the peace that only He can give.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard addresses an important question about divine healing and the gifts of the Spirit.In 1 Corinthians 12, the apostle Paul lists the “gifts of healing” (verse 9) among the spiritual gifts and makes it clear that not every believer operates in this gift (verse 30). Yet in Mark 16:18, Jesus said believers would lay hands on the sick and they would recover.Is healing a special ministry given only to certain individuals, or is it a sign that can follow any Spirit-filled believer? Dr. Bernard responds to this important question, offering clarity and balance on a topic that is central to Pentecostal theology and practice.For further study, see Dr. Bernard's book Spiritual Gifts, available at PentecostalPublishing.com.

This week, I'm humbled and honored to bring you a conversation with someone whose ministry has made a huge impact in my walk recently— Pastor and Author Francis Chan. If you've been with me this season of In Totality, you know I've been taking my Patreon community through his latest book, Beloved, and this conversation is one that I've been praying for— and I cannot wait for you to hear it.Beloved has deeply shaped how I see my relationship with God. It confronted something I didn't even realize I was doing — trying to serve Him from a place of striving and performance, like I could somehow pay God back, instead of simply receiving His love as a daughter.Francis and I talk about what it means to know God as Father — not just as Judge or Lord or the One we serve — and how easy it is to miss the very thing we were made for: enjoying Him.We get into the difference between performing for God and truly abiding in Him, and why His love has to stay at the center of everything. You are going to want to listen to this more than once!My prayer for you is that this episode helps you slow down, receive, and remember — you are not just called to love Him. You are invited to remain in Him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

So many of us are living with an identity shaped by the world, our feelings, our achievements, our past, our pain, our personality, or what other people have said about us. But scripture gives us a different foundation. Our identity is not something we discover inside ourselves; it is something declared by God.In this episode, I'm here with the team talking through what it means to be created in the image of God, reborn in Christ, and no longer defined by the old self, and I really enjoyed this conversation! We talk about why following your heart is not enough, why adding Christ onto parts of your life is different from being fully surrendered, and why true transformation is not renovation. it is resurrection.This conversation is for anyone who has been asking, “Do I really know who I am in Christ?"My prayer is that this episode reminds you that you are loved, adopted, justified, and called to live faithfully, not perfectly, but surrendered.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
