Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

A biblical worldview is not merely something Christians believe or discuss. It should shape how they live every day. Drawing from Colossians 2:6–7, Dave Jenkins explains how walking in Christ affects our relationships, work, conversations, choices, and responses to life's challenges. Christians are called to remain rooted in Christ, established in the faith, and intentional about applying biblical truth to every area of life. Living out a biblical worldview does not require perfection, but it does require direction. As believers depend upon Christ and grow in His Word, their actions should increasingly reflect their convictions. This episode considers how Christians can remain grounded in Scripture, apply biblical truth to everyday decisions, pursue consistency between belief and conduct, and depend upon Christ for lasting spiritual growth.

What if the missing piece in every body conversation you've ever had wasn't a new program, a better routine, or the right expert, but a theological foundation you never knew you were missing? In this special Summer Reset episode of the Jesus Over Everything podcast, we're sharing something a little different: a conversation that was so good, we had to bring it here. This is the premiere episode of Season 11 of The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, where Lisa co-hosted alongside Candace for a full season dedicated to body, soul, and faith. In it, Lisa introduces the concept of whole body theology: a biblical framework that reframes how we see ourselves not as projects to fix, but as whole persons created for God's glory. Both women get vulnerable about their own long and complicated histories with body image and disordered eating, the exhaustion of conflicting health information, and what it actually looks like when the Word of God becomes the foundation, not just another tool in the stack. If you've ever felt exhausted by the endless cycle of health information, or wondered why knowing better has never quite been enough, this conversation is for you. And if this episode resonates, the full season is waiting. Check out all 12 episodes on YouTube! Listen in to learn more: (08:41) Why Candace chose this theme, and the viral moment that started it all (11:36) How Lisa's Body and Soul Bible study came to be  and what it changed for her personally (17:28) Lisa and Candace get vulnerable: their body stories, eating disorder history, and what shame taught them about themselves (25:44) The exhaustion of diet culture, conflicting expert advice, and the needle that never stops moving (31:15) The one kind of rest we're all craving (and why it isn't sleep) (33:55) What is whole body theology? (39:05) The glorious exchange: what Christ's incarnation has to do with how you see your body (40:56) Listener questions: skincare, motivation to move, and practical starting points   Mentioned in the Episode: Bible Study — Body and Soul by Lisa Whittle: https://www.lisawhittle.com/body The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Season 11 (full season): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXPIFDUXHLUnAVeI8Frzg-T8zKnExvPL1 Invite Lisa to Speak: https://www.lisawhittle.com/speaking Get the Whole Body Guide: https://www.lisawhittle.com/body-tips   Connect with Candace Cameron Bure: Website: https://candacecbure.com Instagram: @candacecbure The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast Website: https://ccbpodcast.com Podcast Instagram: @candacecameronburepodcast Connect with Lisa:Website: https://www.lisawhittle.comSubstack: https://letsbeclear.substack.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lisawhittleofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lisawhittleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lisawhittleofficial

What if your wilderness season isn't a sign that God has left you—but proof that He's preparing you? In this powerful return to the Revelations Podcast, Christa Black Singh shares how God has continued to redeem every chapter of her story. From heartbreak and divorce to remarriage, motherhood, and deep spiritual healing, Christa reflects on what it truly means to walk with Jesus through seasons of crushing, restoration, and rest. Together, Reagan and Christa explore difficult but important topics including suffering, biblical discernment, spiritual warfare, the unseen spiritual realm, New Age deception, healing from trauma, and learning to hear God's voice before praying and speaking our own declarations. Christa also shares deeply personal stories about the loss of her daughter Goldie, God's redemption through unimaginable grief, and the profound lessons she learned after leaving New Age practices behind. Christa breaks down the realms of heaven, ancient technology and how understanding the strategies of the enemy can transform our spiritual lives. Whether you're walking through a wilderness season, wrestling with spiritual questions, or longing for deeper intimacy with Christ, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's goodness, embrace His refining work, and remember that His redemption is always greater than your pain. Key Takeaways God often uses wilderness seasons to prepare us for greater purpose. True success is becoming more like Christ—not gaining influence or recognition. God can bring healing from trauma and understanding the connection between spirit, soul, and body. Discernment begins by asking, "Lord, what are You saying?" before speaking. Spiritual warfare is real, but Jesus has complete authority over every power. Healing involves our relationship with God, our emotions, and our willingness to surrender. No failure, trauma, or loss is beyond God's power to redeem. Jesus is the only doorway to the Father, and lasting freedom is found in Him alone.

Send us Fan MailWhy does Genesis include a long list of ancient nations, and why does the Bible keep returning to the number seventy? In this episode of The Two Trees Podcast, we explore the Table of Nations, Noah's tragic fall after the flood, and the symbolic world of biblical numbers. Far from being a dry genealogy, Genesis 10 presents a breathtaking vision of humanity united under one Creator, while the recurring pattern of seventy points toward God's sovereign claim over every nation on earth. By tracing this theme from Noah to the Feast of Booths, the seventy elders, Jesus' seventy-two disciples, and beyond, we'll see how Scripture tells one unified story of humanity's rebellion—and God's unrelenting plan to reclaim the nations for Himself.

One of the easiest mistakes sincere believers can make is assuming that if something feels helpful, peaceful, or empowering, it must automatically be from God. Discernment goes deeper than that. In this episode, I continue the conversation about manifestation and Holy Spirit partnership by exploring spiritual counterfeits, spiritual mixture, and the fruit different spiritual practices produce over time. Most importantly, she reminds us that God's greatest gift is not an outcome, an answer, or a breakthrough. The relationship is the treasure.

What if your child told you they could see angels? Would you know how to respond? Would you dismiss it, fear it, or lean in with curiosity and prayer? In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan welcomes back Lori from Remnant Rising to discuss a topic many believers quietly wonder about but rarely talk about openly: seeing in the spirit. Together they explore what Scripture says about angels, demons, spiritual warfare, supernatural experiences, and how God may reveal spiritual realities to both adults and children. Lori vulnerably shares her family's recent journey after her son began describing encounters with angels, spiritual battles, and dark figures with remarkable detail. Rather than responding with fear, Lori chose to seek biblical wisdom, pray with authority, and learn how to steward what God may be revealing. This conversation is not about sensationalizing the supernatural—it's about recognizing that our faith is inherently supernatural and that Jesus has already won the victory. If you've ever experienced something you couldn't explain, if your child has shared unusual spiritual experiences, or if you've wondered what Scripture teaches about the unseen realm, this episode will encourage you to respond with wisdom, discernment, and confidence in Christ.

As we march through summer 2026, the Raising Godly Girls Podcast is circling back to fan faves of Season 3's first half.     In this episode from May 2026, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose use the analogy of parenting instincts to recognize oncoming illness in their kids as a framework to approach a girl's body image struggles. While parents are usually pretty good at connecting symptoms to oncoming illness in their kids, it's not always as clear when body image issues surface in our girls. So this week the podcast is focusing on body image, and how that is often reflective of a deeper spiritual thing happening in our girls.     Many times, girls hear negative messages about their bodies—that the body needs to be altered in order to fit in with the current notion of beauty. This can leave girls hating their bodies and measuring beauty through a lens that God never intended. How can we parent our daughters to embrace her body as a gift from God?     It's important to let a girl enjoy beauty rather than shame her for wanting to feel pretty. For a Christian girl, the key to a healthy Biblical Worldview on body image is tied to her contentment in the Lord rather than her appearance.      Two Things to Remember:  It's Okay for a Girl to Want Beauty, Yes—Even as a Christian  Feeling Beautiful Isn't a Good Source for Contentment, so Address This Gently but Directly in Your Girl    Scriptures Referenced in this Episode:  Genesis 1:31a      Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com. To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

America's top-selling economics textbook defines communism as "the most benevolent form of economic system." That single sentence sums up why Texas State Board of Education members Julie Pickren and Brandon Hall asked PJTN president Laurie Cardoza-Moore to testify as they fought a terror-linked campaign to reshape how children learn about Israel, Judaism, and American history. In this webinar, Laurie sits down with Pickren, Hall, and PJTN senior academic fellow Dr. Sandra Alfonsi to unpack what the board won, what's still ahead when high school standards return to a vote in September, and why what happens in Texas doesn't stay in Texas — it shapes curriculum for 25 other states and over 30 million schoolchildren. The conversation also turns to New York's new mayor, with Dr. Alfonsi making the case that "Commie Mamdani" undersells the real ideology at work. This is a conversation about truth in the classroom, the return of the Bible to instructional materials, and the biblical responsibility to make sure the next generation is taught to stand with Israel, not against it.Follow, share, and support PJTN's mission at PJTN.org.0:00 They Renamed Communism in Textbooks0:42 Meet PJTN and Laurie Cardoza-Moore3:20 Inside the Texas TEKS Standards Hearing7:47 Julie Pickren on Defeating CAIR's Amendments11:57 Why High School Standards Got Delayed17:59 Brandon Hall on Putting the Bible Back in Schools25:12 Communism 101: Who Controls Your Child30:20 Q&A: Banning CAIR From Testifying36:11 Free Bluebonnet Curriculum for Every State40:57 How the New Standards Will Be Enforced45:48 Rising Antisemitism and "Commie Mamdani"52:12 Dr. Alfonsi: Communism as a Vehicle for Islamism55:28 Erasing Jewish History From Textbooks1:07:01 Closing Thoughts and How to Get InvolvedDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and share to help us equip more Christians to stand with Israel and fight antisemitism.✨ Stay connected with PJTN! ✨

Can you explain why you believe what you believe? In this episode, Bucky sits down with Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview, to discuss why so few Americans consistently think and live from a biblical worldview. Together they explore how worldviews shape everything from moral decisions to public policy, why many churches avoid addressing cultural issues, and how believers can move beyond sound bites to think biblically. You'll also discover how the upcoming Worldview Workshop at North Hall Church can equip you with practical tools, biblical confidence, and resources to defend your faith and stand firm in an increasingly confused culture.

The Democratic Socialists are gaining ground because they understand something the Republican establishment apparently misplaced beneath a stack of consultant invoices: voters support the people who clearly identify the problems destroying their lives. In this interview with Kim Kennedy on Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid, I explain why conservatives keep losing the messaging battle, how the Left captured education, entertainment, technology and even parts of the Church, and why another carefully poll-tested speech from Washington will not save the country. Christians and conservatives must recover the courage to change hearts and minds, speak directly to the real suffering of the American people and build a serious ground game rooted in Biblical truth, constitutional government and reality.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

We hosted on Focus Today Troy Miller, CEO of National Religious Broadcasters. He discusses Christian citizenship, the growing challenge of biblical illiteracy, and why a strong biblical worldview is more important than ever.

Episode Summary:The culture may feel like it's unraveling, but what if God's call isn't to panic, retreat, or attack, but to cultivate? In this thought-provoking conversation, theologian Owen Strachan joins us to discuss his new book, Call to Cultivate, and why Jeremiah 29 provides a compelling biblical blueprint for faithful Christian cultural engagement.Together, we explore how followers of Christ can engage today's culture without giving in to fear, political idolatry, or end-times obsession. Owen challenges believers to plant gardens, build strong families, disciple their communities, and pursue the long-term work of cultivating culture rather than simply reacting to it. Along the way, we also have several honest, iron-sharpening-iron moments of disagreement that push the conversation deeper and challenge us all to think more carefully.If you've felt anxious about the direction of our culture or wondered how Christians should respond to today's challenges, this conversation offers a biblical vision rooted in hope, faithfulness, and the lordship of Christ.If this episode encouraged you, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs hope and a biblical vision for engaging today's world.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)?

1 John 4:7-12 Liberty Church

Disney's live-action Moana is in theaters, and it offers Christian families more than a decision about ticket prices. In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz reviews the 2026 film and walks parents through four biblically grounded questions to discuss with their children: how God as Creator differs from Te Fiti, what Scripture says about a human's relationship to the ocean, what our true identity as image bearers is, and where the film's themes of self-sacrificial love point to the true story of Christ. Along the way she notes the content parents should be aware of and offers a framework for using film to train kids to evaluate every idea they encounter through a biblical worldview. Whether or not your family sees the movie, this conversation will help you turn a popular film into an opportunity for discipleship.

In this episode of Revelations Podcast, Reagan Kramer welcomes back Amy Roper from Eyes on the Right for an in-depth discussion about the biblical significance of the sea, the "deep," and what Scripture reveals about the spiritual realm often referred to as the Marine Kingdom. Beginning in Genesis, Amy traces the theme of the waters throughout the Bible, exploring passages about the abyss (tehom), Sheol, Leviathan, Dagon, and Johah. Together, they examine how ancient cultures consistently worshiped water deities, how these themes appear throughout history and mythology, and why understanding the biblical worldview helps Christians discern spiritual deception without falling into fear. The conversation emphasizes that many biblical stories—including Jonah, Jesus calming the sea, and the miracles surrounding water—demonstrate Christ's complete authority over all creation and every spiritual power. The discussion also explores how marine symbolism appears in modern culture through entertainment, mythology, corporate imagery, financial language, and current conversations surrounding unexplained underwater phenomena.  Reagan and Amy encourage listeners to search the Scriptures for themselves, test everything through the Holy Spirit, and develop biblical discernment.  The key takeaway is that believers are engaged in a spiritual battle, but they do not need to fear the unknown because Jesus Christ reigns over every realm—land, sea, and sky. His authority is absolute, His victory is complete, and Christians can confidently walk in wisdom, discernment, and the power He has given them.

This week we are wrapping up our study in James with Pastor Andrew. Welcome to the 167!Connect with usWebsite: https://www.newlifegardner.comFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/NewLifeGardner/Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/newlifegardner

As America marks its 250th birthday, Dr. Jim points us back to the timeless truth of Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” While there is much to thank God for in America's history, the need of the hour is not merely more patriotism or outward morality, but the kind of righteousness God actually blesses. In this episode, Dr. Jim explains the difference between self-dependent righteousness and God-dependent righteousness. Our own righteousness cannot please God, because it comes from the flesh and always falls short. But when believers walk by faith, depending on Christ for cleansing, victory, holiness, and obedience, God produces in them a supernatural righteousness that brings Him glory. Topics Discussed Dr. Jim begins by reflecting on America's 250th birthday and the blessings God has given throughout the nation's history. At the same time, he points honestly to the moral and spiritual decline that has brought reproach upon the country. From Proverbs 14:34, he explains that righteousness exalts a nation, while sin brings reproach to any people. But rather than speaking only about national morality, he turns the focus to the kind of righteousness that God truly blesses. The episode contrasts self-dependent righteousness with the righteousness that comes through faith in Christ. When believers try to live the Christian life in their own strength, they inevitably fall short and resort to hypocrisy. The flesh cannot produce what pleases God. True righteousness begins with faith. We must depend on Christ to understand His Word, pray, witness, live holy lives, receive cleansing, and walk in victory. This kind of righteousness is not human performance, but Christ's life being lived out through dependent obedience. Dr. Jim closes by challenging young people to be part of a righteous minority in their generation. It does not take a majority for God to work. A surrendered minority, walking with God and depending on Christ, can be used by Him to bring blessing and revival. Key Takeaways The righteousness God blesses is not rooted in human effort or self-dependence. Sin brings reproach to any people, including a nation blessed by God in the past. Self-dependent righteousness always falls short and often leads to hypocrisy. Faith is what pleases God, not religious performance done in the flesh. Christ enables believers to live the righteous life they could never produce on their own. God is glorified when His righteousness is seen through our dependent obedience. Revival comes as God's people return to Christ-enabled living. A surrendered minority can still make a spiritual difference in a nation. Young people can be part of the righteousness God uses to bring blessing in their generation.

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Was Aleister Crowley merely an eccentric occultist—or was he operating as something far more dangerous?In this episode, Joel continues the "Agent Crowley" series by following Crowley through one of the most fascinating periods of his life. As World War I intensifies, Crowley finds himself caught between British Intelligence, German propagandists, and powerful figures operating behind the scenes. While publicly writing for The Fatherland, evidence suggests he was simultaneously serving British interests in a dangerous counterintelligence game. But the political story is only half of the mystery.During this same season of physical illness, spiritual collapse, and personal loss, Crowley claimed to receive guidance from Aiwass—the mysterious intelligence that dictated Liber AL vel Legis (The Book of the Law). We examine Crowley's own writings, his descriptions of Aiwass, his relationship with the so-called Secret Chiefs, and how these experiences shaped Thelema for generations to come. Was Aiwass simply a product of Crowley's imagination... or was something else speaking?Merchandise: https://freetherabbits.myshopify.comBuy Me A Coffee: DonateFollow: Website | Instagram | X | FacebookWatch: YouTube | RumbleMusic: YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music Films: https://merkelfilms.com Email: freetherabbitspodcast@gmail.comDistributed by: merkel.mediaIntro Music:Joel Thomas – Free The RabbitsYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicOutro Music:Joel Thomas – GreyYouTube | Spotify | Apple MusicTopics Discussed:Aleister Crowley, Aiwass, Liber AL vel Legis, The Book of the Law, Thelema, Agent Crowley, British Intelligence, MI5, MI6, Sir William Wiseman, Everard Feilding, George Sylvester Viereck, The Fatherland, World War I, German Propaganda, O.T.O., Secret Chiefs, Holy Guardian Angel, Liber 73, Confessions of Aleister Crowley, Leon Engers, Gnostic Mass, Cake of Light, World War I Espionage, Occult Intelligence, Esoteric Orders, Biblical Worldview

Evangelical Christians should earnestly hope for, pray for, and work for revival. Maybe that's why we're always looking for and too often declaring, with only limited evidence, that revival has broken out. We want it to be true, so we declare it to be true with just the slightest encouragement. We should also not be ignorant to the fact that many purveyors of revival talk have financial incentives. If I can say that God is at work here, and you should support the work that God is doing, that provides a powerful and sometimes manipulative message that will separate well-meaning but naïve Christians from their money. Revival talk sells books, fills auditoriums and arenas, and causes donations to flow. And while we do not want to quench the spirit (to use biblical language), we should be clear-eyed and discerning when we hear people talk of revival. And we've been hearing a lot lately that America is experiencing revival. Kenneth Copeland has repeatedly declared that America is entering a season of revival. On his broadcasts and at ministers’ conferences, he has described the nation as being on the verge of “the greatest awakening” and has tied it to his own prophetic announcements. Mario Murillo has been one of the strongest proponents of the “America is in revival” narrative. He argues that mass tent meetings, conversions in California and elsewhere, and openness among young people indicate that the country is already experiencing a “Third Great Awakening.” Lance Wallnau has likewise said that America is experiencing a spiritual awakening, often linking it with political developments and what he describes as a national “reformation.” But people who study religion say…not so fast. Today, I have one of the godfathers of Christian polling and survey work on the program, George Barna, and we address the question directly: Is America experiencing a revival. His thoughts on the subject may surprise you. George Barna is one of the best-known researchers of religion and culture in the United States. He founded the Barna Research Group in 1984, pioneering the use of survey research to measure Americans’ religious beliefs, church attendance, worldview, and cultural trends. After selling the Barna Group in 2009, he launched several research initiatives focused on faith and public life. Today, Barna serves as Professor of Cultural Research at Arizona Christian University, where he is Director of Research for the university’s Cultural Research Center. He is also Senior Research Fellow for the Center for Biblical Worldview at the Family Research Council and the author or co-author of more than 60 books on faith, culture, leadership, and worldview. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. I'm your host, Warren Smith. Until next time, may God bless you.
