Can we love Jesus and still struggle with anxiety, depression, or OCD? This week I'm joined by Emy Moore Brookins, host of the Saved Not Soft podcast and someone I love like a little sister, for a conversation about mental health, church hurt, and trusting God through suffering.Emy opens up about recent diagnoses, her experience with spiritual abuse, and how she's navigating therapy while remaining rooted in her faith. Together, we talk about the stigma surrounding mental health in Christian spaces, the freedom of being honest about what you're facing, and what it looks like to seek help while trusting the Lord.We discuss social media, the pressure to perform, and protecting intimacy with God while serving others, as well as living a faith that reaches beyond what we post online.If you're navigating church hurt, wrestling with your mental health, or trying to stay close to Jesus in a difficult season, my prayer is that this episode helps you feel less alone and encourages you to be honest with Him right where you are.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What happens when God asks you to do something—and you run the other way?In Part 2 of our study through the book of Jonah, Reagan Kramer dives into Jonah 1 and the powerful story of a prophet who heard directly from God but chose to go in the opposite direction. As Jonah boards a ship for Tarshish, a violent storm reveals something deeper: we cannot escape God's purposes, and our disobedience can affect the people around us.Reagan explores the sovereignty of God, human free will, spiritual warfare, salvation by grace through faith, and the difference between following God's leading and trying to live life in our own strength. She also examines the fascinating biblical practice of casting lots and why, after Pentecost, believers have the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, and give wisdom.Most importantly, this episode challenges us to look honestly at our own lives. Where might God be asking you to obey, but you are hesitating, hiding, or going the opposite direction? Reagan shares personal stories of moments when the Holy Spirit prompted her to reach out, encourage someone, or share what God had placed on her heart—and the unexpected blessing that came through obedience.In this episode:Jonah's decision to run from God's callingThe storm God used to get Jonah's attentionWhat biblical sovereignty meansGod's sovereignty and human free willWhy we cannot save ourselves through good worksJonah sleeping through the stormThe significance of the sailors calling out to their godsCasting lots in the Old TestamentWhy believers have the Holy Spirit to lead and guide themJonah's calling to bring the message of God to NinevehHow disobedience can cause us to miss opportunities to be a blessingLearning to recognize and respond to the Holy SpiritThe freedom and blessing found in obedienceReflection question:Where have you made it all about yourself and potentially missed the blessing God has called you to be a part of?How long are you going to say no to God?

Luke 6:43–49 // Nathan MillerLuke 6:43–49 contrasts healthy trees with bad trees and wise builders with foolish ones.

He concludes his sermon on the mount with the parable of two builders: the one who hears his words and puts them into practice builds a house on solid rock that withstands severe floods, while the one who disobeys builds on sand without a foundation.

This week on the show Jay, Jordan, Nicole and I talk through the difference between vengeance and vindication, what Scripture says about loving our enemies, and how remembering the mercy we've received through Christ changes the way we respond to offense.One question really challenged me: What if our vindication actually looks like having peace, sleeping at night, and continuing in what God has called us to do? We discuss how unforgiveness can hide behind time and distance. Just because you've stopped speaking to someone doesn't mean you've released what happened. Forgiveness can take prayer, wrestling, and surrender, and forgiving someone doesn't require staying in a harmful relationship.If you're struggling with betrayal, bitterness, a broken friendship, or the need to prove you were right, I pray this conversation helps you bring that hurt honestly before the Lord.Before you move on with your day, pause and ask Him: “Lord, is there anyone I haven't truly forgiven? Search my heart and help me surrender what I'm still holding.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

1 Tim 1:3-7 As we continue our study in 1 Tim we come to the topic of teaching and what God desires for us to hear. However, we don't just hear teaching inside the church. There are countless people and entities that want to disciple us outside the church. So, how do we discern and guard against anti-biblical teaching? We consider that important question this week.

Was Jesus a socialist? We examine what Scripture actually says about wealth, government, and the Kingdom of God.Many people are debating economic systems through a religious lens, but we must look at the text itself. This teaching breaks down the words of Jesus regarding money, ownership, and wages to provide clarity on how the Kingdom of God functions apart from modern political labels.We distinguish between biblical generosity and forced redistribution to help you understand the heart of Christian faith. By focusing on principles of stewardship rather than political arguments, you can gain a clear perspective on how to live out your purpose. Learning about Jesus and socialism requires looking at the historical and spiritual context of His words, grounded in sound biblical teaching.Subscribe for weekly biblical teaching on cultural trends, and let us know your thoughts on this topic in the comments below.#JesusTruth #BibleTeaching #ChristianFaith #KingdomOfGod #FaithOverFear #BiblicalTruth #ChristianYouTube #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianMotivation #EndTimesClarity #socialismBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kay-and-olu-taiwo-vision-guided-life--1709267/support.
Gerald Weston - TVCA1504 - In 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump made headlines for blasting several members of NATO for spending less than 2% of their national GDP on defense. Less than 10 years later, these nations have agreed to more than double their spending. Committing to invest 5% of GDP to defense at the 2025 NATO Summit in the Hague. Rebuilding these once proud militaries will take time. But the trajectory is clear, and you need to know where it is leading!

Deconstructing Christianity isn't always the same as walking away from God. Sometimes it could mean examining legalism, controlling traditions, or inherited beliefs so we can understand what Scripture actually teaches.But what happens when we stop deconstructing false teaching and begin deconstructing the truth itself, rebuilding faith around our comfort, desires, or the opinions of people we admire online?This week, I'm back with the team to talk about faith deconstruction, and the responsibility that comes with Christian Influence. Together, we discuss testing every voice against God's Word, the consequence that comes with identifying, publicly, as a Christian, and why platform size does not determine whether you have influence. The question is: Are our words pointing others toward Christ or giving them permission to compromise?If you're navigating doubt, or, stewarding a platform of your own, this episode is for you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Rosh Hashanah is not a history lesson but a set of faith formulas the Jewish people have carried for thousands of years, all pointing at one thing: a good, sweet, victorious year. Our calendar is winding down; God's calendar is just getting started, and tradition holds that Adam himself was formed on this day, so the God who formed a man out of dust can form something out of what looks like nothing in your life. Eight keys carry the year: it is not over, crown Him first and He crowns you back, believe for a sweet year, take your position as the head and not the tail, walk in freedom from everything that needs to be torn, cut off, removed and ended, declare abundance and increase, expect new fruit, and open your mouth, because in 5787, the decade of Peh and the year of Zayin, silence was never the weapon God gave you. The passage that opens this feast does not end with a sound; it ends with an offering. Rosh Hashanah was never a spectator's holiday. It was always a giver's holiday. Scriptures referenced: Leviticus 23:23-25, Philippians 1:6, Isaiah 43:18-19, Matthew 6:33, Psalm 103:4, Psalm 34:8, Psalm 19:10, Deuteronomy 28:13, Ephesians 2:6, Romans 8:37, Deuteronomy 8:18, 3 John 2, John 15:5, Habakkuk 3:2, Hebrews 4:12, Ephesians 6:17, Isaiah 49:2, Revelation 19:15, Proverbs 18:21, Matthew 12:34, Exodus 23:15, Proverbs 3:9-10, Genesis 8:22, Malachi 3, 2 Corinthians 9, Luke 6:38 Stay connected at https://calvaryfl.com
In week 3 of the Reform series, Samuel Goulet continues exploring what it means for God to make crooked paths straight by looking at the story of Nehemiah. Through Nehemiah's response to Jerusalem's broken walls, this message calls listeners to open their eyes to the brokenness around them, let compassion move them to prayer, and then rise up in obedience to build where God is leading. Rather than waiting for perfect credentials or expert status, Samuel challenges the church to respond with humility, faith, and willingness—trusting that God gives grace, resource, and assignment as His people step into the work of restoration.

Imagine an ancient city with the financial power of Wall Street, the cultural influence of Hollywood, and the moral compass of Las Vegas. Welcome to Corinth. In this kickoff to our year-long series through First Corinthians, Travis Aicklen unpacks the messy reality of a church that looked a little too much like the city around it. Plagued by cliques, petty squabbles, and deep dysfunction, the Corinthian church was fracturing from the inside out. Yet, instead of abandoning this divided community, the Apostle Paul leans in, addressing their chaos not with behavioral modification, but by pointing them relentlessly back to the grace of Jesus Christ and the unifying wisdom of the cross.Main PointsThe Cultural Context of Corinth: Understanding the ancient city's wealth, influence, and notorious reputation for immorality (to the point that "to Corinthianize" meant to live wildly).Assimilation and Dysfunction: How the early church began to mirror the surrounding culture, leading to cliques, celebrity-pastor worship (Team Paul vs. Team Apollos), and petty divisions.Paul's Radical Response: Why the answer to deep-seated church dysfunction isn't running away or relying on human wisdom, but returning to the foundational power of the Gospel.The Antidote to Division: Recognizing our own modern tendencies toward preference and disunity, and overcoming them by keeping Christ at the absolute center.Biblical References1 Corinthians 1:1-17Acts 18:1-11Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am.

As the scientific pursuit of longer, healthier lives intensifies, Christians face an important question: When does responsible care for our health become an attempt to avoid the reality of death?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard considers radical life extension from a biblical perspective. He distinguishes wise stewardship of our bodies from an unhealthy pursuit of longevity and explains how the hope of resurrection should shape our attitudes toward aging and mortality. He explains that, ultimately, the Christian's hope is not to extend this present life indefinitely, but to receive eternal life with Jesus Christ.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Hey Guys! This week on In Totality, I'm back with Jay, Jordan, and Nicole in my new home, reflecting on God's faithfulness through a long season of prayer, waiting, closed doors, and unexpected provision.For nearly two years, I prayed about where my boys and I should live, where they should attend school, and what God's next step was for our family. There were opportunities that fell through, moments when we came close, and times when I wondered whether I had discerned God's will correctly. But while it felt like nothing was happening, God was preparing details, and people I couldn't see.If you're waiting for God to move in a relationship, job opportunity, health situation, a relocation decision, or any other unanswered prayer, this episode is for you.My prayer is that this conversation encourages you to stay close to the Lord, remain faithful with what He has already placed in your hands, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it.God is always working!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With practical encouragement for families, church community, and personal discipleship, Samuel challenges listeners to live awake, repentant, and spiritually engaged—holding fast to faith, resisting the enemy, and trusting God to restore strength, purity, and authority where it is needed most.
Hey Fam! In Totality is back this week and I'm here with the team for a conversation about forgiveness, anger, and the call of Romans 12: “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay.”Forgiveness sounds beautiful until the wound is fresh and the apology never comes. So, today, I open up about my struggle with wanting to defend myself, have the last word, or “get a lick back” when I feel wronged. We unpack what it looks like to trust God as our defender, lay the urge to retaliate on the altar, and surrender the outcome instead of waiting for God to “get them” on our behalf.We also talk through the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, why forgiveness doesn't mean ignoring abuse or automatically restoring access, and how hurt can turn into anger, defensiveness, or the urge to clap back. The team shares what it looks like to pause, pray, name the real wound, and invite the Holy Spirit into hard conversations.If you're struggling to forgive someone who hurt you, waiting for an apology you may never receive, wrestling with bitterness, or trying to handle conflict in a way that honors Christ, this episode is for you.My prayer is that this conversation helps you release the need for revenge, overcome evil with good, and trust God with the offense and the outcome. You can acknowledge what was wrong and still choose grace. Let God be your defender.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
This week, Jordan, Jay, and Nic join in for a conversation about spiritual warfare, repentance, and what it means to put on the full armor of God every day.After reflecting on the battles the Lord has carried us through, I realized that endurance is not passive. Sometimes we become so weary in our faithfulness that we stop fighting. Other times, we become so confident about the battles we've already survived that we stop guarding ourselves. Both can leave us spiritually vulnerable.We unpack 2 Samuel 11 and the moment David remained in Jerusalem when kings were expected to go to war. What began with being somewhere he was not supposed to be led to lust, sexual sin, deception, murder, and months of unrepentance. David's story reminds us why we must remain engaged in the fight, confess quickly, and never assume that past victories make us immune to temptation.If you're experiencing spiritual warfare, faithful fatigue, inconsistency, shame over sin, or weariness from fighting one battle after another, I pray this conversation encourages you. Seriousness does not mean joylessness, and devotion does not mean perfection. When you don't feel strong enough to fight, be honest with the Lord and ask Him to help you want what He wants.Keep fighting. Look to Jesus, hold tightly to His promises, and remember that you do not have to fight in your own strength.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
