Five years ago, back in Episode 29, Misty Phillip joined me to share her incredible freedom journey, her ministry, and the Bible study that God had placed on her heart. It has been amazing to watch how God has continued to guide her steps, and I couldn't be more excited to welcome her back to the podcast!This time, we're talking about a topic that affects every single one of us—Artificial Intelligence.Misty's newest book, The Trojan Horse of the Digital Age: Why Christians Must Discern AI, challenges believers to think critically about the technology we're using every day. AI isn't going away, so how do we use it wisely while remaining firmly rooted in God's Word?In this conversation we discuss:Misty's unexpected journey from ministry into cybersecurity and AI.Why AI is a powerful tool—but should never replace biblical wisdom.The importance of protecting your personal data and digital footprint.The growing concerns surrounding AI, surveillance, and data collection.How AI is impacting children, education, mental health, and relationships.Why parents need to understand how their children are using AI.Deepfakes, misinformation, and learning to recognize truth in a digital world.The importance of community, discernment, and walking closely with the Holy Spirit.Practical ways Christians can use AI responsibly to save time while continuing to seek God first.One of my favorite reminders from this conversation is that AI can be used for good or for bad—just like many other tools. The key is not fear, but discernment.As technology continues to advance, we must stay anchored in God's Word so we can recognize truth, guard our hearts, and wisely steward the tools He's placed in our hands.Misty reminds us that no artificial intelligence will ever replace the wisdom that comes from the Holy Spirit.Bio:Misty Phillip is a Christ-follower, author, speaker, and advocate for faith-driven discernment in the digital age.As COO of TrilogyWorks, a boutique technology firm specializing in cybersecurity and AI-driven solutions, Misty brings real-world expertise to the conversation about technology and faith. She's not theorizing from the sidelines—she's in the arena every day.Misty is the award-winning author of The Struggle is Real, But So is God and Spark Your Influence, and co-author of Upskill or Die: Thriving in the AI Revolution. She founded Spark Media, a platform that empowered Christian podcasters through conferences, publications, and community for over two decades.A homeschool mom of three sons for more than twenty years, Misty understands firsthand the challenges families face in raising the next generation. She has hosted multiple podcasts including It Is Time to Stand Up, Upskill or Die, and By His Grace, and speaks nationally on topics at the intersection of faith, family, and technology.Misty believes the church is not called to hide from the future—but to shape it with wisdom, courage, and unshakable faith.Anchor Verse2 Timothy 1:7Connect with Misty:Website: https://www.mistyphillip.comIG: https://www.instagram.com/mistyphillip/Episode #29: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ZzPuu20Dss8i3ml0oIo2Y?si=g0cFx2lVTPiDePKe7bz3_Q***We love hearing from you!

MY Devotional: Daily Encouragement from Leading The Way
Eight Characteristics of Godly Wisdom

MY Devotional: Daily Encouragement from Leading The Way

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 12, 2026 3:10


How do we know if we are following Biblical wisdom? In chapter 3 of his epistle, James sets the standard with eight qualities of godly wisdom:   First, godly wisdom is pure. False wisdom is characterized by bitter envy and selfish ambition; godly wisdom is characterized by purity of motive.   Second, it is peace-loving. Selfish ambition can start a war, but God's wisdom can bring Truth and clarity where there is chaos.   Third, it is considerate. Though you have strength and power, you control yourself so that when you have the opportunity to hurt somebody, you won't do it.   Fourth, it is submissive. Being submissive means being willing to listen and willing to learn. To be submissive is to be humble and teachable, not a doormat to be walked over but meek, so that your strength is guided and submitted to God, making you gentle and kind.   Fifth, it is full of mercy. The word used here actually has a double meaning: forgiving those who wrong us and then being willing in our hearts to help them.   Sixth, it is full of good fruit. You cannot manufacture the fruit of the Spirit. True spiritual maturity happens from the inside out for those who are indwelt by the Spirit of God and are seeking His wisdom moment by moment.   Seventh, it is impartial. Those who live by worldly wisdom cannot be impartial because they are always trying to please someone, but those who live by God's wisdom are consistent, single-minded, and authentic.   Eighth, it's sincere. A sincere person is genuine, without hypocrisy, and wears no mask.   Godly wisdom is the kind of wisdom that comes from the very heart of God. As you read and pray through God's Word continually, you will find that your life is producing purity, peace, gentleness, willingness, mercy, good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity—and that's how you'll know the Word of God is taking root. Join me in prayer.  Precious Lord, thank You for answering my prayers for wisdom by giving it to me generously. As I spend time studying Your Word and listening to Your voice, I know these things will begin to take root in me. Help me to prioritize that time with 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.

Have you ever looked around and wondered why, even in a world more connected than ever, so many of us still feel lonely? I think most of us long for friendships that are genuine relationships where we're known, encouraged, challenged, and loved. Yet building those kinds of friendships can feel harder than ever. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with my sweet friend, Becky Harling, about her book, Friendwise. Our conversation reminded me that friendship isn't just a nice addition to life—it's one of God's good gifts. We were created for meaningful relationships that strengthen our faith, encourage our hearts, and point us back to Christ. In this episode, we discuss:• Why friendship is essential for our spiritual, emotional, and even physical health.• Practical wisdom from the book of Proverbs for cultivating lasting relationships.• How to navigate boundaries, vulnerability, forgiveness, and conflict with grace.• Why comparison and competition quietly destroy friendships—and how celebrating one another brings freedom.• Simple ways to become the kind of friend we're all hoping to find. Sometimes the first step toward deeper connection is simply reaching out, asking someone to coffee, listening well, and loving intentionally. If you've been feeling lonely, disconnected, or simply longing for richer relationships, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart and give you practical, biblical wisdom for building friendships that last.

One of the most common phrases Christians say is this: “It must be God's will.”But what if that assumption is one of the biggest reasons many believers struggle in life and business?In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I challenge the idea that everything that happens in our lives automatically comes from God.

Every mom needs advice from time to time.Whether you're navigating parenting decisions, marriage struggles, homeschooling, friendships, anxiety, or simply trying to discern God's will, the question isn't whether you'll seek counsel—it's who you'll listen to.In this episode of Faith for Anxious Moms, Lynn explores the story of King Rehoboam in 2 Chronicles 10-12 and the costly consequences of rejecting wise counsel. Rehoboam sought advice from two groups of people, but ultimately chose the voices that affirmed what he wanted to hear rather than what he needed to hear.As Christian moms, we're surrounded by opinions—from social media, parenting experts, friends, family members, and online communities.

Have you ever wondered if what you're doing really matters? Maybe your days feel ordinary. Maybe you're faithfully serving your family, showing up for work, caring for others, or quietly doing what God has called you to do—but sometimes you wonder if it's making any difference at all. If you've ever felt that way, this week's episode of The Love Offering Podcast is for you. I had the joy of sitting down with my dear friend, Bible teacher, and author Crickett Keeth to discuss her new Bible study, Living Out a Life That Matters. Through Paul's relationship with Timothy in 2 Timothy, Crickett reminds us that every believer has a God-given purpose and that our lives carry eternal significance—even when they feel small, routine, or unseen. In our conversation, you'll discover: • How to identify and live out your unique God-given purpose• Why comparison steals our joy and distracts us from our calling• The importance of encouraging and investing in others• How God uses even the smallest acts of faithfulness for His glory• Why it's never too late to make an eternal impact One of my favorite moments from our conversation was when Crickett shared the story of her mother in a nursing home. Though she could no longer see, hear, walk, or speak, God still used her simple smile to point others to Jesus. It's a beautiful reminder that God never puts His children "on the shelf." Friend, your life matters. Your obedience matters. Your faithfulness matters. And God can use you right where you are today. I pray this conversation encourages you to embrace the purpose God has given you and to trust that He is working through your life in ways you may never fully see this side of heaven.

What if the real measure of your success isn't the size of your business, but how intentionally you leverage your wealth for generosity, family harmony, and impact that outlasts your lifetime? In this episode, Jeff and Russ discuss:  Separating the business finances from the personal. Intentional communication around wealth. Teaching and learning biblical financial principles for decades. Integrating family communication in wealth conversations. Leveraging business wealth for generosity, donor-advised funds, and eternal impact.    Key Takeaways:  Growing wealth increases complexity, not simplicity. Intentional planning and communication must increase as net worth grows. Separating business and personal finances is foundational; confusion between the two creates stress, conflict, and poor decisions. Assets should match the skills and calling of the recipient. Misaligned inheritances often create frustration instead of freedom. Joint ownership among heirs also commonly creates frustration and conflict and should be approached with caution. Don't tie your ego to your assets so much that you don't have the courage to begin to convert the form to help your kids.    "Take your specific assets, run them through, and see where the unintended consequences are, and come back to not a lot of joint ownership. You want your kids to do what God's called them to do, not what God called you to do." —  Russ Crosson   About Russ Crosson: Russ Crosson is a senior partner of Blue Trust and was hired in 1980 as the second employee of Blue Trust.

Your calendar is preaching something.The question is: is it preaching divine assignment… or survival?So many entrepreneurs say they want to be Spirit-led, but their weeks are being discipled by urgency, inboxes, meetings, client needs, and other people's panic.In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I actually structure my week as a Kingdom-minded strategist carrying a big vision — not from pressure, performance, or productivity culture, but from stewardship.Because the way you order your time reveals what you believe you are responsible for.And some of what has been filling your calendar was never yours to carry.I'm sharing the weekly rhythm that helps me protect my peace, honor my capacity, create space for deep strategic work, and stay aligned with what God has actually assigned me to build in this season.This is not about becoming more efficient so you can do more.It's about becoming more obedient so you can carry well.If your week has been running you instead of serving the assignment, this conversation will help you pause, reassess, and rebuild your rhythm from a place of clarity.Because urgency may be loud, but it is not Lord.Listen in and don't just take notes.

Have you ever felt exhausted from constantly thinking about how you're doing, how you're perceived, what you're accomplishing, or whether you're enough? If we're honest, most of us live there more often than we'd like to admit. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with author Morgan Krueger to talk about her new book, Made to Magnify: Choosing to Live for Jesus When Everything Tells You to Live for Yourself. Together, we explored a truth that feels both challenging and freeing: the more focused we become on ourselves, the more anxious, insecure, and unsatisfied we often feel. In a culture that constantly tells us to build our own platform, protect our image, and chase self-fulfillment, Morgan offers a refreshing invitation to lift our eyes and fix them on Jesus instead. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why self-focus often leads to anxiety, comparison, and striving• The three struggles that commonly keep us stuck: pride, fear, and doubt• How confession, community, and God's Word help us break free from isolation• Simple ways to magnify Jesus in everyday life• Why the small, unseen acts of faithfulness matter more than we realize• How Mary's words, "My soul magnifies the Lord," can become our daily prayer If you've been feeling weary from carrying the weight of proving yourself, performing for others, or trying to control every outcome, I believe this conversation will encourage your heart. Friend, you were never created to make your own name great. You were created to magnify His. And as you do, you'll discover the joy, peace, and purpose your heart has been longing for all along.

Have you ever found yourself replaying someone else's words, assuming they were judging you? Or maybe you've caught yourself criticizing someone in your mind, convinced you're seeing the situation clearly. If so, you're not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I sat down with my friend Shannon Popkin to discuss her new book, Kinda Judgy: Finding Mercy for Myself and Others in Six Stories of the Bible. Together, we explored a topic that many of us struggle with but rarely talk about openly—judgment. What if the criticism we feel from others is often rooted in our own insecurities? What if the harsh standards we apply to others reveal places in our own hearts that need God's healing mercy? Through powerful stories like Jonah, the thief on the cross, and the woman caught in adultery, Shannon reminds us that while God is a righteous Judge, He is also abundantly merciful. His mercy changes how we see ourselves and how we see others. One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation was this: we often feel judged and become judgy in response. But Jesus shows us a different way. Though He was wrongly judged, He responded with compassion, forgiveness, and grace. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why judgment and insecurity are often connected• How contempt quietly damages our relationships• What Jonah's story reveals about our own hearts• How God's mercy transforms the way we treat others• Why the cross is the ultimate picture of love and compassion Friend, if you've ever struggled with being critical of yourself or others, this conversation will encourage you and point you back to the heart of God.

Living Well in a Fractured World: Rediscovering Christian Virtue | with Dr. Alan Noble

Gospel Spice

Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2026 41:03


Stephanie Rousselle and guest Dr. Alan Noble discuss living well in today's world by reclaiming forgotten Christian virtues. Drawing from Noble's book, To Live Well, let's consider practical steps Christians can take to thrive amid cultural confusion.According to Noble, we're surrounded by an overwhelming cacophony of voices (social media, celebrities, self-help gurus, even misguided pastors), each offering conflicting advice on how to live a meaningful life. This deluge of ideas leaves many—Christians included—feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and directionless. The key challenge: how do we discern a coherent, godly way of living amid so many broken narratives?Noble suggests reclaiming classic virtues—time-honored character strengths rooted in Christian tradition and Scripture—as a path toward living well. He points out that Protestants, in particular, have neglected these virtues, though historically theologians like Augustine, Aquinas, and Calvin all upheld their value.Practicing these virtues is not about earning favor with God. Instead, Christians live out virtue in grateful response to God's grace, relying on the Spirit's power, and always within community, where we are supported, challenged, and forgiven when we fail.So, let's consider 3 of the 7 virtues Alan Noble offers in his book.1. Prudence (choosing decisively)Prudence means choosing decisively and wisely. In a world obsessed with limitless choice, prudence involves slowing down, humbly discerning reality, seeking what truly glorifies God, deliberate decision-making, and resolute action. Prudence guards against both indecision (paralysis) and the sunk-cost fallacy—stubbornly sticking with poor choices out of pride or prior investment.2. Fortitude (Suffering steadfastly)Modern culture avoids suffering at all costs, but Noble explains that fortitude is about the courage to endure or risk suffering for the sake of the good. Suffering, rightly faced, builds character and produces hope—connecting deeply to the sanctifying work God does in His people. Fortitude enables Christians to move through hardship, trusting that even suffering has purpose.Magnanimity is boldly living into the excellence and gifts God has given, for His glory and the good of others. Pusillanimity, by contrast, is timidity—hiding or burying your God-given talents out of fear. As illustrated in the parable of the talents, God calls each believer to step out in faith and use their gifts with courage.3. Temperance (living moderately)Temperance is the willful restraint from doing everything you can do, especially when surrounded with endless technological, social, and material options. Choosing not to indulge every impulse, but to order choices for God's glory, is countercultural but vital for soul health.When we reorder our perspectives around these timeless virtues, we move from confusion and anxiety toward clarity, purpose, and peace—living as God intended, by His grace and for His glory.ApplicationSelf-examine: Where do you feel confused or pressured by the “heap of broken images” in your life?Practice virtues: Choose to cultivate prudence, fortitude, magnanimity, and temperance, seeking wisdom, courage, excellence, and self-control in daily choices.Pursue community: Remember that virtue grows in fellowship with others; seek relationships that encourage and hold you accountable.Rest in grace: When you fail, rely on God's grace and learn from your mistakes. Embrace the freedom found in Christ's finished work.MORE ABOUT “TO LIVE WELL”You were told to live a meaningful life. But no one ever told you how.Our lives are shaped by contradictions. Competing voices tell us who to be, what to want, and how to live. The result? A fragmented moral imagination. We're handed a thousand broken messages and left to cobble together something resembling a life. But instead of clarity, we get exhaustion. Instead of wisdom, we get anxiety.This leaves you asking yourself How can I get through when I feel alone and confused? How can I live well in this broken and chaotic world?In To Live Well, Alan Noble shows you how you can not only endure but flourish in life. Through exploring the seven virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, faith, hope, and love, you'll learn how tochoose gracefully,act justly,suffer steadfastly,live moderately,believe soundly,hope resolutely, andlove rightly.This book won't give you a ten-step plan to fix everything. It doesn't promise clarity overnight. But it will invite you into something deeper: an ancient, time-tested path of habits of heart and mind that shape who we are and how we live.With honesty, theological depth, and a mentor's heart, Noble names your confusion and offers an antidote―not by escaping the mess but by learning how to live faithfully within it. If you've ever longed for something solid in a world that just wants to sell you more temporary stuff, To Live Well is a good place to begin.Do you feel the pain and pressure of spiritual exhaustion? Do you feel unworthy despite consistent effort? Do you lack joy in your personal faith? Do you desire practical, daily rhythms that sustain delight in God?  That's why I wrote "Awaken Delight." It will help you (re)discover:1-Delight in God is identity-shaping, not emotion-driven. Delight in God is not fleeting emotion but resilient identity.2-Delight in God is altogether trust, satisfaction in God, relational intimacy with Him.
