Do you know why you're living the style of life you're living? Do you know just how new it is, and what the modern western society has done to family? It's been a long march to get here, but the results have been devastating. Rory Groves joins us today to talk about the book their ministry is re-publishing, Henry and the Great Society, and why this is an important cultural message that we need to get into as many people's hands as possible. This podcast cuts to the very root of what's broken about modern, western society, and yet gives hope as Rory and Jeremy discuss how to return to a more normal, family- and community-centered approach to life.

Eating biblically in midlife is vastly different than the worlds approach to food. What we eat either fuels us or steals from us. If you want to eat in a way that brings you more energy and a sharper mind then you need to settle in, sister.  With us starting the first week in Nov. 2025, it's a good time to take stock of our mindset around foods that are stealing from us instead of fueling us.  We are entering holiday season here in the US and it can be a time where women tell themselves they are gonna enjoy all of the holiday celebrating they want and start caring for themselves again Jan 1st… (come on, you've been there too.) OR they DECIDE to stay the course of what they've already been trying to do in their health journey and they don't allow distractions in. The women who start working with me BEFORE the holidays do amazing THROUGH the holidays. They feel more confidence in their food choices and they feel better in their skin. They have more energy, better sleep, less belly fat.  I pray you leave the episode feeling more confident in being your own best advocate for your health. Decide today to shift your thinking about the foods you are eating so that you can have more energy and a sharper mind... just in time for the busy holiday season!   XO, Michelle Get rid of your stress induced fatigue, brain fog and belly fat in 12 weeks without dieting, deprivation and disappointment!

Let's face it—modern womanhood can feel like juggling fire. Wife, mother, employee, daughter, friend, ministry leader—each role demanding, “Be everything, all the time.” The culture applauds burnout as ambition. But God calls you to balance, not burnout. His Word never told you to be superwoman—He told you to be surrendered.Biblical balance is not about equal time; it's about divine order. God first. Family second. Mission third. Everything else finds rhythm under those priorities. The Proverbs 31 woman wasn't a robot—she was a woman who knew what to say yes to because she had already said yes to God.Balance begins in the quiet moments. Before the day shouts its demands, the Spirit whispers its direction. Your peace doesn't come from a perfect planner—it comes from a perfect Shepherd. Psalm 23 isn't theory; it's strategy. He makes you lie down. He restores your soul. And when your soul is restored, your schedule will finally make sense.Hear me clearly: exhaustion is not a fruit of the Spirit. You don't prove your worth by how many plates you spin; you reflect your faith by how fully you trust the One who keeps them spinning. Sometimes balance means saying no to something good so you can say yes to something God.If the enemy can't destroy your home, he'll distract it. He'll overload your calendar until intimacy disappears. Guard your time like you guard your family—it's holy ground.

Responding to a young man who seems to be extremely angry about religion, and seems to find all problems on the earth to be the result of Christianity. There are a lot of people out there who have this same sentiment but it's not because they know anything about Christianity historically or even Biblically. Rather, it's a cultural "woke" response because they need a virtual punching bag to ease their emotional frustrations. Also, it's tattered blanket to cover up a very poor intellectual answer to a worldview they can't answer for.Thanks for listening!

In today's episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady responds to a deeply honest email from a young Christian man who left the gay lifestyle and is now wrestling with a difficult question:“If most of my past sexual sin involved homosexual desires, can I still pursue marriage to a woman? And how do I know if I'll ever feel enough attraction?”Brady shares his personal journey through same-sex attraction, surrendering his sexuality to Christ, rejecting identity labels, and discovering a biblical vision of marriage—not as a cure, but as a sacred covenant designed by God.Topics discussed:

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Open up to 1 Corinthians in chapter 2.Let's just pause for a moment.Please pray for me to be faithful to clearly communicate God's Word,and I will pray for you to have a heart open to receive it.This is a complicated passage.But I think that's one of the great things about expository preaching.It allows us to slow down and see what exactly it is that God actually said in His Word.Sometimes it's a passage that we have read through quickly so many times.I'm not quite sure what's going on there, but next.And there's so much here that the Lord wants to teach us.So please pray for me to be clear and accurate,and I'll pray for you to receive it.All right? Let's just take a moment.Father in heaven, we need Your Spirit, and we always do.I guess sometimes we feel it, that we're more aware of it than others.This is one of those times for a lot of reasons.Father, I pray that Your Spirit and Your Word would do what only You can do.glorify Your name as we spend some time in Your Word today, Father, in Jesus' name.All of God's people said, "Amen."Amen. You know, I try.But it gets harder and harder to keep up with the language that these kids are using these days.Since I'm working with the youth group, I really want to speak their language,but I'll be honest with you, I don't get it.I don't get it. I'm not sure, Justin, you still get it anymore.Mid? See? He gets it.I just find myself so awful. I don't get it. I don't get what you're saying.Like Pastor Taylor a couple of weeks ago dropped the 6-7 thing.Do you know like dictionary.com or something made that the word of the year?Did you know that?Do you know where that's from?It's from some basketball player that's 6-7. Aren't they all?I don't get it. I don't get it when the kids say words like "Skibbity toilet riz."Have you heard this one?I had to have somebody explain it to me. I still didn't quite understand it.But that is a thing and I don't get it. I just don't get it.I remember many years ago when the nieces on my wife's side were younger,probably teenagers-ish. But one family gatherer, I was Thanksgiving, Christmas, whatever.I just remember the three girls were just walking around going,"I just bought a new alligator purse at Walmart for $4.99."And then they would laugh hysterically.So I'm like, "Well, I went in on the hilarity."So I'm like, "Well, I just bought a new alligator purse at Walmart for $4.99."And everybody laughed hysterically. I don't get it.I don't get "dolulu" and "juzh it up."And by the time this is on our website, somebody's going to listen to this and be like,"Oh, those are old words. We don't say that anymore."I try.I don't get it.And see, that is the point of the passage that we're looking at today.Here's the whole sermon.When it comes to the Word of God, unsaved people don't get it.But those who are born again, who have the Spirit of God residing in them,we come to the Word of God and we get it.This whole section that we're in in 1 Corinthians is contrasting man's wisdom and God's wisdom.And last week we focused specifically on the show.Why? Because Paul says he came in weakness.He wasn't like one of the lofty speaking philosophers putting on a show.Paul says, "I didn't come to you like that."So last week we talked about the show. This week we're going to talk about the content.The content of wisdom.Look at verse 6.He says, "Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom,although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age who are doomed to pass away."So there's two kinds of wisdom.We talked about this many times in the past.I've gone through the Proverbs, I've gone through the book of James.There's two kinds of wisdom.There's man's wisdom, worldly wisdom, earthly wisdom, and there's God's wisdom.And that's what Paul's talking about here.Paul's like, "Don't throw out anything called wisdom because there's different kinds."We didn't come with man's wisdom, we came with God's wisdom.Now listen, when we talk about man's wisdom, we are not saying that man is incapable of doing anything with earthly wisdom.Man has done so much with medical advances, engineering, art, obviously.But man's wisdom cannot do anything about spiritual matters.When you try to apply man's wisdom to spiritual matters, do you know what you get?You get one of two things.You get heresy, or you get nonsense, or maybe you get both.Paul here talks about the rulers of this age.It's not a wisdom of the rulers of this age.Like, who are the rulers of this age?Well, in Paul's day, right, scribes, Pharisees, Roman officials.It's the important people, right?And who are the rulers of our age?It's pretty obvious.Politicians, celebrities.The loud, anti-God actors, musicians, athletes.You know, church, if I live to be a billion, I will never understand why we take so much stock in the opinions of celebrities.I don't understand that.You know, like somebody is paid millions of dollars because they're able to catch a ball.Which is a talent.Don't get me wrong.It's a talent.All of a sudden, we're like, well, I got to hear what his political views are.Why?Or you got some young lady who, she writes songs for a living.She writes really catchy pop songs about bad relationships.And we're like, man, I wonder what she thinks about immigration.Why do we care?Right?An actor whose very job is to pretend to be someone else.And they are fantastic at pretending to be someone else.And the world is just waiting to hear, what do you think about God?Paul says, I'll tell you what to think about them.They're doomed to pass away.Alright?God's word will stand forever, but a celebrity's opinion will be forgotten.Alright?So look at verse 7.He says, "But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before theages for our glory."None of the rulers of this age understood this.For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.See here, Paul's talking about the secret wisdom.These are spiritual truths that man cannot know unless God reveals them.God has revealed knowledge about Himself.Paul says, "For the glory of His people," and he says, "Those who are not born again,they don't get it."They don't get it.That's why he says, "None understood."None of the rulers of this age understood.They don't get it.They can't get it.Paul says in verse 8, "Here's an obvious point that they don't get it.God showed up in the flesh and they nailed them to a cross."Do you think for a second if they really understood who Jesus is that they would have crucifiedHim?Do you think for a second if they're like, "Well, this is the God who created me.This is the God who's ultimately going to judge me, and He's here right now.What should we do with Him?"Do you think they would have killed Him if they got that?Obviously not.So look at verse 9.He says, "But as it is written, what no eye has seen nor ear heard, nor the heart of manimagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him."So here Paul is paraphrasing concepts from the book of Isaiah, specifically Isaiah 64in verse 4.Now listen, when people read this verse, people immediately want to interpret this as, "Youcan't believe how awesome heaven is.You can't believe the things that God has prepared for us."And that's really not what this verse is about at all.Listen, this verse is about unbelievers not being able to understand salvation.Believers don't get it.That's what this verse is about.Look at it again.He's saying that spiritual truths about salvation can't be obtained through natural processes.Look at it again.He says, "What no eye has seen nor ear heard."He's saying, "Unsaved people can't understand spiritual truths by external means."He's saying you can't look at a sunset or the stars in the sky and understand salvation.You can understand some things about the power and beauty of God.Yes.But you can't look at a sunset and understand salvation.You can't perceive with your eyes or your ears.Then he goes on to say, "Nor the heart of man imagined."What's he saying?That's internal.That you can't come up with truth about God from your mind.You can't just sit around and say, "I wonder what God's like."And you imagine truths about salvation.Can't happen.You'll try though.You hear people say things like, "Well, you know, I think that we're all God's children.I believe love is the only thing that matters.I don't believe God condemns anybody.And with all due respect, it doesn't really matter what your opinion of God is."It's like a fruit fly trying to figure out how an iPhone works.It's not going to happen.And you trying to figure out on your own how God works, it's not going to happen.You can't do it.Truth about God must be revealed by God.That's Paul's whole point here.Human perception or wisdom can't contribute to this.People have no idea externally or internally what God has prepared.Everything for those who love it.They're like, "All right, I have a question.How exactly did God reveal His truth to man?How did He do that?"Well, that's what he goes on to answer.Look at verse 10.He says, "These things..."What things?"The things that God has prepared, the content of the gospel message.These things God has revealed to us through the Spirit.Through the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God."So Paul says, "God revealed the content of the salvation message."He said he revealed it to us.And us in the Greek is emphatic.They're like, "Well, who is us?"Well, go back to verse 10.Paul's refers to those who love Him.Right?Like, what is he talking about here?Well, really, he's talking about something Jesus already gave us the heads up on backin Matthew 11 when Jesus said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that youhave..."Look at this."Hidden these things..."What things?Matters of salvation, revelation from God.Truth about God.You have hidden these things from the wise and understanding, the important people, therulers of this age is what Paul calls them.Jesus says you've hidden them from the wise and understanding and revealed them to littlechildren.That's the point of this passage.You think you're so wise.No, no, no, no.God has to reveal truth if you're going to know anything about God.And God didn't reveal it to the important people.He revealed it to the children, people who love Him.That's his point.He gives an easy analogy.Look at verse 11.He says, "For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person which isin him?"So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the spirit of God.That's an easy analogy.No one knows a man's thoughts except that man.I mean, I can wonder all the live long day what Bob Brown thinks.I'm never going to know.His thoughts, his opinions, his hopes, his dreams, his fears.That's all within him.Nobody knows that about Bob Brown the way Bob Brown knows that about Bob Brown, right?And the only way I'm going to get a clue on any of that is if he tells me, right?And that's what Paul's saying here.Only God's spirit knows God.No one knows what God thinks but God.And God's spirit has to reveal God's thoughts to us.You're like, "What is that?"He's talking about the Bible.This book is the Holy Spirit revealing things that are known only to God.Like, "Wait, wait, okay."So you're saying that this book is the book of God's thoughts.Yes, that's what the passage is saying.Well how in the world could an infinite, holy, awesome God reveal his thoughts in a way thatwe could understand them?Because he's way above us.How in the world could he reveal his thoughts?So we could understand them.Verses 12 and 13, Paul answers that.He says, "Now we have received not the Spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God,that we might understand the things freely given us by God.And we impart this in words."Look at this."And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit."Here it is interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.He's talking about how we got the Bible.When he says "we" here in verse 12, he's talking about the apostles.It's obvious from the context.God didn't give you books of the Bible to write down.You might have some blank pages at the end of your Bible like in the book.That's not for you to write your own book.That's not what those are for.You're like, "Well, what are they for?""I don't know what those are for."But they're not for writing your own parts of the Bible.That was for the apostles.The apostles, Paul's saying here, "received the Spirit to put God's thoughts into humanwords."Again, this is something that Jesus promised would happen.Look at John 16.Yeah, Jesus said, "When the Spirit of truth comes," the Holy Spirit, "he will guide youinto all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears,he will speak and he will declare to you the things that are to come."This is how you got your Bible.God's Spirit gave God's thoughts to these apostles and he enabled them to write God'sthoughts down in a book, an objective source of God's truth.And you're like, "Okay, all right, all right."So if that is what the Bible actually is, the thoughts of God written in human words,why doesn't everyone accept the Bible as the Word of God?Why doesn't everybody just get on board with that?Why doesn't everybody just understand it?All that Paul has said is to drive us to this point.Are you still with me?All right?There's no sermon today.It's like Sunday school.There's a little sermon at the end.This is like Sunday school class.Everything he's saying here is to drive us to this one point.Understanding the thoughts of God revealed by the Spirit of God put in this book.Understanding this book also requires the work of the Holy Spirit.This is what he is driving us to.Look at verse 14.He says, "The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for theyare folly to Him, foolishness to Him, and He is not able to understand them because theyare spiritually discerned."You see Paul saying the Holy Spirit gave God's Word to the apostles and He makes known themeaning of God's words to those who love God.Non-spiritual people.Listen.They're like, "Why do we theology?"Because right now there's a whole lot of light bulbs that are going to go off.Non-spiritual people cannot accept the Word of God, and they do not understand the Wordof God.That's what he says in verse 14.Non-spiritual people cannot accept it.People who hate the Bible are just acting naturally.Why do you hate the Bible so much?Well, I'll give you a reason.He tells us right here in verse 14, "They don't understand it."They don't understand it.It makes no sense to them.And listen.Listen.If you refuse to believe in the Word of God, you will never understand it.Never going to happen.This is interesting, but like what does this mean in real world application, Pastor Jeff?Well let me tell you a lesson that I had to learn some time ago.I had to learn that you cannot put biblical standards on non-Christians for this veryreason.They're like, "Can you be specific?"Yeah, how uncomfortable do you want this to get?All right, let's talk about people that are living together, but they're not married.They live as if they're married, but they never got married.Cohabitation.I've dealt with this a lot, especially at my old church.It was a downtown church.It was a big, old, beautiful building.And we would have complete strangers coming off the street.They're like, "I want to get married here."Why?Not because they knew me or anybody else in the church.It's just pretty architecture."I want to get married here."But they were living together.We've had people like, "I want to join harvest and I want to actively serve at harvest."And they're living together, but they're not married.And in all of these cases, people are outraged that we would say, "Well, that's sin."It's sin.People were like shocked and outraged that you would even hold such an opinion.What do you mean it's sin?And this is tying into Paul's point here, my friends.When a couple was in that situation and understand their biggest issue is not cohabitation, thebiggest issue is they have no regard for God's work.That's the issue.And it's a scary thing because this is evidence that they don't have the Holy Spirit.And it's evidence, if all this is true, it's evidence that they're not born again.So you see, cohabitation isn't the biggest issue.Non-spiritual people don't get it.They can't accept that they don't understand.Light bulb should be going off.I hear this all the time.I hear this all the time and my heart breaks.But I hear people say, "People have adult children."I raised my kid in the church and now he absolutely refuses to go to church.He doesn't want anything to do with church or Bible study.My teenager hates going to youth group, refuses to go.And they won't listen to any biblical instruction.And I don't understand why.I'll tell you why.If this passage is right and I certainly believe that it is, the Bible makes no senseto them.They don't believe it.They don't get it.And when they come to church, they don't believe it.They don't accept it.They don't understand it.They don't get it.They come to church and I get up here or Pastor Taylor gets up here or Justin gets up hereand we're talking and people don't get it.All they hear is us standing up here going, "I bought a new alligator purses at Wal-Martfor $4.99."They're like, "What's that all about?"They don't get it because it has to be spiritually discerned.You're like, "Oh, so you're saying I shouldn't drag my kids to church?You're saying I shouldn't teach my kids the Bible?"Of course I am not saying that.Come on.But they aren't really going to get it if they don't personally make a decision toreceive Jesus.That's what you need to drive them to.Look at verse 15.He says, "The spiritual person judges all things."Stop right there.This is a statement.We who are spiritual, we who have the Holy Spirit can judge all things.What's He talking about?He's just simply talking about this.The Bible, when rightly understood, makes sense of everything.It makes sense of the world.It makes sense of man.It makes sense of God.It makes sense of the way sin works.Understanding the world through the lens of God's Word when we understand it makes everythingmake total sense to us.We get it.We get why lost people act like lost people.We get it.You're spiritually dead.We get it.Bless you.We get people get old and die.We get it.Why does that happen?We get it.We get it when we have a loved one that's stuck in an addiction.Like I get it, it's a worship disorder.They're worshiping something and it's not Jesus.It's an addiction.We get it.We get it when a believer still struggles with sin.Like why is he still struggling with sin?We get it.Because he's a spiritual person that lives in fallen flesh.So there's going to be a war going on until he's removed from the fallen flesh.We get it.It all makes sense.We get it, church.We're rightly able to judge these things and we're rightly able to judge what's happeningout there.We can watch the news.We can rightly judge all of that stuff if you really understand the Bible.Like for example, what was the big news story last week?The snap benefits getting cut off, right?We can understand that through the lens of God's Word.Anybody not offended yet because you might be here in a second?Understand that through the lens of God's Word?Look, the government doesn't need involved in that.In feeding people at all.Whose job is that?It's the church's job.Here's what should happen.The church should be providing for those in need who are unable to provide for themselves.But someone who can work and refuses to work doesn't get to eat.That's what the Bible says.We can rightly judge all things, right?We rightly judge all things.Things like racism is idiotic.It's just stupid.We're able to judge that.We realize we all came from the same parents.We all come from Adam and Eve.So if your skin's a different color, your eyes are a different shape, who cares?It's stupid, but people make that an issue because they don't get it.We get it.Why has Israel survived for thousands of years even though everybody's constantly tryingto exterminate them?Why are they front and center in the world stage all the time?We get it.We get it.That's what Paul's saying.We judge all things.Like, yeah, we get it.But look at the back of verse 15.He says, "But is himself judged by no one."But is himself judged by no one.So Christian, don't worry about how the world judges you.Don't worry about how the world looks at you.You close-minded, anti-science, misguided, uneducated, unintelligent, fairy tale believing,homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic jerk.Don't worry about what the world calls you.They don't understand the word.They don't value the word.So they're not going to understand you, and they're not going to value you either.You judge by no one.Right?Now look at verse 16."For who has understood the mind of the Lord as to instruct Him?"That's Isaiah 40, verse 13.He says, "But we have the mind of Christ."That last line, that's the punchline here.Meaning he's saying, gets to this one sentence, "But we have the mind of Christ."And if Paul would have just come out and said that first without any explanation, we wouldhave been like, "What in the world are you talking about?"Well, who's the we here?Why is he saying we?Why doesn't he say, "You have the mind of Christ?"He could have.Why does he say, "We have the mind of Christ?"Why we here?Well, what's Paul talking about throughout the first several chapters of 1 Corinthians?What's he talking about?Unity.Right?Here's the point.Unification can really only happen if we are all thinking the same way.If we have the mind of Christ, if we think like Jesus, that is what will unify.We, that is what will unify us.This unity comes when I walk around here saying, "You all need to think like Jeff."You need to think like Jeff.That's the problem with this church.You all don't think like Jeff.That causes disunity.Right?And then, like, Laura gets up and she goes, "No, the problem is you need to think likeLaura."That's the problem with this church.Everybody think like Laura will be good.And then Brian gets up.Brian's like, "No, no, the problem is everybody needs to think like Brian.You think like Brian will be in good shape.That will unify us."No, no, no.That just causes division.We need to think like Jesus.And with a statement like this, I couldn't just be like, "Okay, we have the mind of Christ.You're loved.See you next week.Let's sing a song."Like, that's such a statement that I figured we have to take a couple of minutes to unpackthat.You have the mind of...Not...You should have the mind of Jesus.You have the mind of Jesus.You do.And until you think like Jesus, church, we're never going to have unity here.We're always going to be fighting over something.So I do want to leave you with this.Just a couple more minutes here.So just grab your neighbor's sleeve right now and give him a shake and say, "Okay, theSunday School Lessons over, now we're getting to the sermon.Take a minute and do that."Some of you aren't shaking hard enough.We're just going to close with this.We have the mind of Christ.And you're like, "Well, how do I know?How do I know if I have the mind of Christ?"Well, Paul tells us.Under inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Paul tells us in Philippians.Turn over in your Bible to Philippians chapter 2.I know usually we like camp in one passage, but we can't just end with that statement.We have the mind of Christ.What's that mean?Turn to Philippians chapter 2.Just over a few pages.Look at verses 5 through 8.Paul says, "Have this mind among yourselves."And you look at the context.He's talking about unity here again, right?Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus.You have the mind of Christ?Well, how do I know?How do I know if I have the mind of Christ?Write these three things down very quickly.Number one, you know you have the mind of Christ when I don't insist on my rights.I know I have the mind of Christ when I don't insist on my rights.Look at verse 6.He says, talking about Jesus, "Who, though He was in the form of God, did not countequality with God a thing to be grasped."I know I have the mind of Christ when I don't insist on my rights.In Jesus' mind, He didn't feel the need to tightly cling to the privilege that comeswith being God.And oh, Jesus would have had every right to demand everyone treat Him as God, becauseHe is.Jesus could have walked around on the earth and said, "Serve me.Get me this.Fetch me that.Now chop chop.I'm God.Serve me."He could have gotten away with that.He's the only person in history that could have.He let go of that.That was His right and He let go of it.And you have to get to the place where you made up your mind that you don't have to insiston your rights.I deserve more.I deserve better.I can't believe you asked me to do that.Do you know how important I am?I'm not thinking like Jesus.See, the world says, "Hey, you go out and you demand your rights."But when you think like Jesus, you say, "Yeah, I let go of my rights."When you do that, you get it.You get it.How do I know if I have the mind of Christ, number two, when I act like a servant?Verse 7.Verse 7.He says, "But made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likenessof men."We've done sermons on this in the past.This one phrase really stands out to me more than anything in this whole passage, really.It says that Jesus took the form of a servant.And you know, you have the mind of Christ.You know you're thinking like Jesus when you act like a servant.By the way, God's wisdom is opposite of the world's wisdom.If I said who's the greatest person in the world, you would say, "Well, it's whoeverhas the most people serving him, right?"That's how we determine greatness.Who has the most people serving them?Jesus said the greatest among you will be the servant of all.And His life was an example of such greatness.You know you have the mind of Christ when you act like a servant.Like, well, how do I do that?Well, you won't know.You won't know if you're a servant until somebody treats you like one.Then you find out.If you walked in here today and I had one of them stickers that said, "Hello, my nameis," and I wrote on there, "My name is slave.Tell me what to do."And I slapped that on your chest.How would that make you feel if that's how everybody regards you?"Hey, they're slave.I'm going to tell them what to do."You won't know if you're a servant until somebody treats you like one.But God took the form of a servant.And when you're like, "I'm here to serve," then you think like Jesus.Then number three, how do I know I have the mind of Christ when I obey God all the way?All the way.Unconditionally, no limits.Look at verse 8.He says, "And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient."How far did you take that, Jesus?Abedient to the point of death.Even death on a cross.You see, Jesus' way of thinking determined what He did.He humbled himself and became obedient to His Father all the way to death.And not just death.All the way to the worst way to die.Death on a cross.All the way, and everything else, along the way, all the way, everything Jesus did wasan obedience to the Father.So how far are you willing to take your service to God and to others?How far are you willing to go?How much is too much?If you say, "Okay, all right, all right.I'll serve in the church.All right, I'll serve, but only when it's convenient."Or you're not thinking like Jesus.If you're like, "Okay, all right.I know I'm supposed to give to the church.And the Bible says that.We've walked through that.I'll give, but listen, I'm only going to give a little bit.I'm only going to give like what I won't miss."You're not thinking like Jesus.And if you're like, "You know what?That person wronged me."And yes, they reached out.They apologized."I will never forgive her.I will never forgive her for what she did to me.No matter how many times she says she's sorry, I will never forgive her."You're not thinking like Jesus.The world says be true to yourself.You think like Jesus.You say, "I'm obedient to God, no matter what."We'll take it all the way.You get it.You get it.Our worship team will make their way back up front.You know, we could go on and on and on about the mind of Christ.But really, it can be summed up in one word.If you really say that Philippians 2 passage, the word is selfless.Are you a selfless person?You will be if you think like Jesus.But when you have God's Spirit within you, enabling you to discern and understand andapply God's Word, you will think like Jesus.You'll get it.You will get it.Let's pray.Father in heaven.That's such an interesting thing, the way your Spirit works with your Word.Somebody can stand up here and preach the most Biblically accurate message and it'sgoing to go right over the head of people that don't have your Spirit.Father, when your Spirit moves in the hearts of people and your Word is proclaimed, youdo something.And God, that's what I'm asking, is that you would soften the hearts of those maybewho are sitting here and are heart-hearted and haven't been getting it for a long time.Those who are closed-minded towards your Word, they don't get it.Maybe they think they do.And I just pray, Father, for your Spirit, for all of us, you draw us just one step closerto you today.We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

We're joined in studio by Ben and Jermain from Goodranchers for a real, unfiltered conversation about the truth behind American beef. We dive deep into the debate of grass-finished versus grain-finished and uncover why grain-finished beef not only tastes better but Biblically is better quality. The guys also shed light on the growing disconnect between the average consumer and American agriculture, revealing how labels in the grocery store often deceive shoppers about where their beef actually comes from. It's a wake-up call for anyone who cares about what's really on their plate. Ben and Jermain share the powerful story of how Goodranchers began and how faith and obedience to God's calling turned their vision into one of the most impactful Made in America companies in the beef industry. When God tells you to do something, you do it and this episode proves why. This is a powerful, faith-driven discussion that blends truth, grit, and conviction showing how faith and hard work can change the food industry from the ground up.

https://youtu.be/A37KsYb8OewMany have claimed the rapture would happen on the Feast of Trumpets — and every date has failed. But Scripture gives us something far better than speculation: a prophetic pattern.In this study, we'll uncover how the Fall Feasts — Trumpets, Atonement, and Tabernacles — reveal the season of the Second Coming, just as the Spring Feasts foretold Yahusha's first coming.We'll connect Matthew 24, the Parable of the Wheat and Tares (Matthew 13), and Revelation 14's Final Harvest, showing how Yahusha was “planted” during the Spring Feasts and returns during the harvest season in the Fall.No, we do not know the day or the hour — but Scripture tells us we can know the season.Join us as we test this Biblically and expose false date-setters once and for all.

Transforming Perspectives | Having our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life, is an obscured authentication of believer's Faith in Jesus Christ. Biblically, it is a wondrous act, conveyed when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, of one's proof of having entered into the kingdom of God, born of the Spirit. The Lamb's book of life, distinct from the book of life, contains the records of every person having accepted Jesus Christ, as the righteousness of God, and the propitiation for their sins, the atoning sacrifice satisfying the penalty of death, and becoming born again. Formidably, the book of life, are accountings and recordation of all creation as well as all humanity on earth.  This Book is more than ledgers as men would believe, but actuaries in the realm of the counsel of God. Archives of his knowledge and observance of every person, as expressed by David, exalting Almighty God, “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet, there was none of them.”  Psalms 139:16, English Standard Version.In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John, received in visions, Letters from the Lord written to the ‘Seven Churches,' exhorting of them his assessment of their Faith. Noteworthy, are the significances of the Lord's frankness, timing and urgency of the delivered messages. An erroneous assumption for believers of the prophetic narrative, is to overlook or underestimate the audience defining each Church to whom the Lord addresses and of their position of Faith, as Jesus says, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.  Revelation 3:5-6, King James Version.Pray, Read and Study | The Book of Revelation Chapters 2, 3, 5 and 21.__________________Thank you for joining and listening to our Podcast's Episodes!

In this episode of On The Line, host Jen Gerson is joined by Andre Gagne, a theology professor at Concordia University, and author of American Evangelicals for Trump: Dominion, Spiritual Warfare, and the End Times. This episode of On The Line is brought to you by Forestry For The Future. Canadian forestry supports 200,000 workers, generates $87 billion in annual revenue, contributes $21 billion annually to our nation's economy, and provides the products we need to build homes and drive economic growth. While trade barriers from the U.S. are siphoning jobs and investment away, Canada's own approval processes and regulations are preventing critical projects that both prevent wildfires and boost our economic self-reliance.We can and should have programs that expand domestic wood use, advance biomass use and pulp market opportunities, and cut red tape and regulatory barriers. The government of Canada has a clear opportunity to stand up for Canadian forestry at a time of growing global uncertainty. We need real action that puts Canadians first — supporting employees and their families, securing stability for our businesses, and protecting the long-term potential of our sector and its people. To learn more, visit ForestryForTheFuture.ca.They speak about Palantir CEO and multi-billionaire Peter Thiel -- an influential figure both in Silicon Valley, and in the Donald Trump administration --  who has recently gone on a tear warning about how anti-AI activists, Greta Thunberg, and anyone who is opposed to him politically, are aligned with the "anti-christ." What is the anti-christ? And are Thiel's warnings Biblically apt? What is going on with the Evangelical movement in America today? We get into all of it today On The Line.

It's Monday, October 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus U.S. Christian missionary pilot kidnapped in Niger at gunpoint Prayers are now going up to Heaven around the world for American missionary pilot Kevin Rideout after he was reportedly kidnapped from his home in the highly secure Château 1 neighborhood of Niamey, the capital of Niger in West Africa, reports The Christian Post. Rideout, a 48-year-old married father, works with Serving In Mission.  Radio France Internationale reported last Wednesday that Rideout was kidnapped by three men at gunpoint near the grand Bravia Hotel, in the city center, just a few hundred meters from the presidential palace. A U.S. State Department spokesman told CBS News, "It is a top priority for the Trump administration to look after the safety of every American, and we are seeing efforts from across the U.S. government to support the recovery and safe return of this U.S. citizen.” The U.S. Embassy in Niamey also issued a security alert on Wednesday, warning Americans that they face a "heightened risk of kidnapping" throughout the country, which has been in political turmoil since a coup d'etat on July 26, 2023. There has been no known demand from any kidnappers nor any official response from the Nigerien government. Security officials said the kidnapped American's phone was tracked less than an hour after the abduction late Tuesday night to a location about 56 miles north of Niamey — in an area "considered a sanctuary for groups affiliated with the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara" between the Nigerian capital and the Malian border.  Please pray Psalm 121:7 for missionary pilot Kevin Rideout. “The Lord will keep you from all harm. He will watch over your life.” Mike Johnson: Democrats want waste and abuse back in Medicaid The U.S. government has been shut down now for 27 days. Appearing on ABC, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, explained what the Democrats in the U.S. Senate are trying to do instead of voting for the clean Continuing Resolution to re-open the government. JOHNSON: “What it does is it unwinds the changes that Republicans put into the Big, Beautiful Bill, the big signature legislation that we passed and signed into law on July 4 that has been very successful in shoring up Medicaid for the people who are actually eligible to receive it. “What we did in the bill, and the CBO just verified this three weeks ago, the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan arbiters of everything up here, they said that those provisions have helped to reduce premiums. “Why? Because we got ineligible recipients off of Medicaid, illegal aliens and able bodied young men who are riding the wagon, who are not eligible to be there. Medicaid is intended for specific populations of U.S. citizens -- that is young, pregnant women who are down on their luck, the disabled and the elderly. “Those resources are being drained from those folks, and so we fixed that. We reduced fraud, waste, and abuse in the program. Chuck Schumer's counter proposal on the [Continuing Resolution] would reverse that. That is a simple fact.” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson polling higher than Kamala for president Former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost in a landslide against President Donald Trump last November, chatted with BBC interviewer Laura Kuenssberg about her book 107 Days. Kamala said she might possibly run for president in 2028 despite the fact that she is a certifiable long shot. KUENSSBERG: “In terms then, of what is next for you, you write very powerfully about the differences that many women have made to your life, the experience of growing up with your extraordinary mother, or the stories of your baby nieces, Amara and Leela. When are they going to see a woman in charge in the White House?" HARRIS: “In their lifetime, for sure.” KUENSSBERG: “Could it be you?" HARRIS: "Possibly." KUENSSBERG: "Have you made a decision yet?” HARRIS:  “No, I have not.” KUENSSBERG: “But you say in your book, ‘I'm not done.'” HARRIS:  “That is correct. I am not done. I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it's in my bones. There are many ways to serve. I've not decided yet what I will do in the future, beyond what I'm doing right now.” KUENSSBERG: “But you've been very clear that it is a possibility you might run again to become president. And, in my experience, interviewing politicians, when someone says, ‘I'm not done,' it means they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look at the bookies odds, they put you as an outsider, even behind Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Is that underestimating you?” HARRIS: “I think there are all kinds of polls that will tell you a variety of things. I've never listened to polls. If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office or my second office. And I certainly wouldn't be sitting here in this interview.” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the WWE wrestler turned actor, has starred in 30 films which have earned $6.2 billion. He also has 391 million followers on Instagram. According to Polymarket, an online betting website where users can place "yes" or "no" bets on the likelihood of world events, “The Rock” has a 5.6% chance of becoming the Democratic presidential nominee compared to Kamala Harris who has a 5% chance, reports Newsweek.   California Governor Gavin Newsom and Congresswoman Alexendria Ocasio-Cortez are the top two at 32% and 11% respectively. Dallas church paints steps homosexual pride colors And finally, after Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott threatened to withhold funding from cities and counties with pro-homosexual, pro-transgender rainbow crosswalks, one God-hating Texas church has responded by defiantly painting its own steps with the sodomite colors, reports the San Antonio Express-News. Lesbian Pastor Rachel Allison, of Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas, explained why she disagreed with Abbott. She said, "Silence in the face of harm always sides with the oppressor. Painting our steps in the colors of the rainbow is a visible witness to the gospel we preach: that every person is created in the image of God and worthy of safety, dignity and belonging." They certainly were not affirming the original Biblical meaning of the rainbow. In Genesis 9:13-15, God said, “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the Earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the Earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.” Not surprisingly, Pastor Rachel Allison is faux married to a woman named Cheryl. Governor Abbott's threat includes San Antonio's sexual perversion district on North Main Avenue and East Evergreen Street. Now, more than six years after its installation, local perverts are urging San Antonio city officials to fight to keep the public art installations despite Abbott's directive. The Lone Star State Governor said, “Texans expect their taxpayer dollars to be used wisely, not advance political agendas on Texas roadways. To keep Texans moving safely and free from distraction, we must maintain a safe and consistent transportation network across Texas.” The directive comes after Trump-appointed U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a statement urging state governors to join a national roadway safety initiative to nix artwork and political messaging from the streets. In a post to X, Duffy wrote, "Taxpayers expect their dollars to fund safe streets, not rainbow crosswalks." Write a polite, Biblically-based 2-3 sentence letter of objection to Pastor Rachel Allison, Oak Lawn United Methodist Church, 3014 Oak Lawn Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75219.

We are headed into an AI-dominated world. Some might think that statement an exaggeration, but if you turn on the news, you'll quickly notice that artificial intelligence is everywhere you look and negatively impacting the next generation. In today's message, Pastor Austin addresses this subject directly; encouraging the church to think Biblically about the rise of AI, its current impact on the modern church, and the way it may be used in the future deception that is to come.

Dr. John Whitcomb instructs us further regarding "The Necessity of God's Power" in this message, continuing his series on "Biblical Apologetics," which was first delivered at Appalachian Bible College in Mount Hope, W.Va. This sermon reinforces the certainty that God's Word is true from the beginning to the end by explaining more about how to share our faith with those who disagree and resist the message of God's grace. It goes into detail regarding the power source that influences unbelievers—namely Satan and his demons, and how they relate to history and prophecy. With host Wayne Shepherd, we consider how to respond Biblically when unbelievers are less than enthusiastic about our witness for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thank you for joining us on this edition of "Encounter God's Truth" from Whitcomb Ministries. We encourage you to make full use of this program by sharing it with a friend who could be encouraged by it.

Your family's Christmas traditions might be coasting on autopilot - some things you do because you've always done them, some events that just happen to you instead of being chosen intentionally. What if this year you flipped the script and designed a December that actually centers on Jesus while creating memories your kids will carry into their own marriages?

Leslie adds wisdom from her experience as a mom of grown children, offering perspective on why these conversations matter now more than ever.

Week 4 of our series 'The Birds, Bees and the Bible'!

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is LG Nixon, author of the book The Ghost of Darwin Stewart. LG Nixon fuses a page-turning fantasy with a haunting theme and turns it into a spirit filled adventure with quirky and likeable characters the whole family can enjoy. Her stories are lighthearted but carry an underlying message of the importance of a Biblical worldview. Her faith and her love of Biblical studies fuels her imagination and her desire to give teens who might not know about their Creator God, an engaging and entertaining way to learn what the Bible says about Him and to introduce basic spiritual concepts.   After a long career in office management, she left the workplace behind and turned to writing. Today, she enjoys writing Biblically based ghost stories filled with mystery, suspense, and other worldly wisdom. She researches and writes full-time from her home in Michigan where she prowls the night star gazing and watching for a supernatural event.   She is always in search of the perfect cup of coffee, the softest afghan, a good book and a quiet corner. LG loves to ski, ride motorcycles, travel, and fly small planes; but no bungy-jumping, thank you very much.   In my book review, I stated The Ghost of Darwin Stewart by L.G. Nixon is a fast-paced Christian YA Fantasy Thriller. Yes - all of that! Talk about a book that crosses genres! Immediately, I found similarities to The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis as well as a bit of Harry Potter by J.K Rowling.   Early on, we meet the Dark Prince who realizes that the best way to get what he wants - an artifact from a girl named Lucy and her friend Schuyler - is to make them doubt who they are. He uses human emotions like anger, fear, and despondency. On the other hand, we meet the High King who uses love, meekness, and kindness. But it is up to Lucy to determine which way she will go, and the choice is not easy - especially when those she loves end up on the wrong end of the Dark Prince's wrath.   If you love a good vs evil story with ghosts, demons, and battles, then you are sure to love this book.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author LG Nixon Website: https://lgnixon.com/ FB: @l.g.nixon.author IG: @lg_nixon X: @LG_Nixon   Purchase The Ghost of Darwin Stewart on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/3GEOEQA   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   Want to be a guest on Online for Authors?

King Charles III recently approved the nomination for the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the leader of the Church of England, what we often call the Anglican church. That news would be of minor interest to a small segment of specialists, except for one thing: the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury will be a woman. Biblically, is that a problem?

What if your family was never meant to run on the system you've been handed?
