Podcasts about choosing god

Pastor Jim walks through Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18, challenging listeners to stop “dancing” between idols and wholehearted devotion to God. He highlights how striving for success, approval, and security often becomes modern idolatry, exhausting us without satisfying our deepest needs. Jim calls believers to trust in the true sacrifice—Jesus—and to rely daily on the Holy Spirit for life, provision, and lasting peace.

Choosing God in the face of fear This episode of The Woman Inspired Podcast is about the midwives from the Old Testament who dared to deceive the Pharaoh in order to stop the killing of Israelite babies. (Exodus 1) Through their example we get a clear picture of what a holy fear and awe of God is and how much more powerful it is than the fear of a bigoted, cruel, King. Through these midwives, it's clear that when God establishes our steps, a mindset of bravery is available to us. Without these midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, the events that unfolded later as the baby who came to be known as Moses was saved, would never have happened. Without Moses, the future for the Israelites, Egypt, and our present day would likely look vastly different than it does.

There comes a point where you have to stop and ask—am I truly living in God's calling, or have I been chasing something else? That's the heart of Ryan's conversation with Justin. In an honest discussion, Ryan lays everything on the table, reflecting on the weight of provision, the wounds he's carried, and the realization that true change begins when we confront our struggles and align our lives with Jesus. Ryan's journey wasn't easy. The world had misled him—success, striving, and performance had become distractions. Success felt like a trap until he realized the truth—he needed to find Jesus. That moment changed everything. Too often, people separate faith from work, but Ryan believes every space is an opportunity to engage with believers. As a leader, he builds strong, resilient teams—not just through skill, but by being grounded in faith, authentic in action, and purposeful in pursuit. Men feel pressure to perform, to succeed, but if we don't know God, we can't fully live out His purpose. Ryan challenges us to stop wasting time on things that don't align with who we are and instead pursue what truly matters. Life isn't easy, and those who seek more will face trials. But Ryan reminds us that even in hardship, God is working. The real challenge isn't just enduring difficulty—it's being willing to reflect, recognize what needs to change, and trust that God is leading us toward something greater. Provision isn't just about what we receive—it's about how we pour into others and allow others to pour into us.   Connect with Ryan: https://rjm.mykajabi.com/rjm-connect   This podcast is brought to you by The CL Thomas Fellowship non-profit.

What happens when life takes an unexpected turn, leaving you feeling lost and questioning how you got there? On the Jamie Luce podcast, we explore these moments through the lens of the book of Jeremiah, particularly focusing on Jeremiah 29:11 and its deeper implications for our lives. Join us as we reflect on the story of the Israelites' exile due to their disobedience and discuss how aligning with God's guidance can transform our circumstances into ones filled with joy, purpose, and abundance. Drawing inspiration from the steadfast faith of prophets like Daniel, we delve into how maintaining faith during challenging times can reveal God's profound promises. Our conversation takes a closer look at the concept of exile, both in its historical context and its metaphorical applications today. By examining the trials faced by Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Babylon, we uncover parallels with modern-day involuntary displacements, as well as voluntary situations like addiction or debt. This introspective discussion prompts us to consider the role of our choices in shaping our current situations. We encourage responsible introspection and challenge listeners to reflect on whether their circumstances are self-created or part of a divine plan, ultimately urging alignment with God's intentions to overcome frustration and entrapment. Navigating life's challenges with faith is at the heart of our discussion, emphasizing how choosing God's path can lead to unexpected blessings and hope even amidst adversity. Through Jeremiah 29, we highlight the call to build, grow, and seek welfare in times of exile, promising a hopeful future rooted in divine wisdom. This episode invites listeners to trust in God's plan and guidance, assuring that even in moments of captivity, prosperity and joy are attainable. Join us for a heartfelt episode, enriched with shared prayer and community engagement, focusing on how aligning with God's wisdom can transform your life amidst unexpected circumstances.

Maybe you're chasing financial goals, health milestones, or personal recognition—been there, too. But if you've ever felt like those pursuits left you drained or empty, you're not alone. I'm sharing a personal story of how I found myself overwhelmed by the pressure to "achieve new year goals" and how God gently redirected my focus. Through journaling, prayer, and quiet moments with Him, I started to see that what I truly needed wasn't more stuff or success...it was more of Him.Let's talk about what happens when we shift our focus. How does seeking God first impact not only our spiritual lives but everything else - our relationships, our work, and even our goals for the better?

The pressures of this world can weigh us down and rob us of our joy. But as believers, we are not called to be ruled by pressure; we are called to let God's peace rule in our hearts. When we choose God's peace, we experience clarity amidst chaos. Pressure creates confusion, but God's peace brings stillness and clarity. Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.” Let the peace of Gos rule your heart. You are positioned to win.

Are you feeling like God is distant? Like your prayers go unheard, and you're left waiting for a response? It's easy to wonder where God is, but what if - while we're waiting on Him - He's actually waiting on us?Jeremiah 23 reminds us that God is never far; He's fully aware of everything, even what's hidden. His presence is real, and He's calling us to live genuinely in His sight. But here's the catch: God gave us "free will." The choices we make, even in the midst of silence, shape our path. He won't override our choices but works through them, guiding us back to Him if we let Him.Let's explore how God's presence, over choices, and His sovereign plans come together. You'll discover that even in His quiet, God is near, leading us to trust, obey, and invite His purpose into our lives. Will you choose Him today?

Take a moment with me, pause, and consider what's concerning you. What is troubling your heart and consuming the thoughts of your soul?  Now, give it to God. Surrender it. Release it.    SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: Choosing God's Peace Over Problems By Keri Eichberger Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27) This is a bit embarrassing to admit, but just when I thought my stress couldn't get much worse, I recently became convinced I was pregnant. Listen, no disrespect to those currently praying for this incredible blessing (by the way, I'd love to join you in prayer), because born and unborn babies are absolute gifts. And if that were God's will for me, I would surely find my way to embrace it with praise. But the honest truth is, “much worse,” was definitely what I felt in the face of that possibility last week. I mean, I'll turn 45 next month and many days it seems I can hardly handle the five kids God gifted me. Plus, just before this possibility arose we'd unexpectedly found ourselves drowning in a huge financial hole. I was too tired, too old, too inadequate, too broke—so I thought. Not to mention, this was not part of my peaceful future plan. How in the world would I? I wondered.  I'll tell you one thing I was convinced of—well two actually. One: What felt like a heavy inescapable pit last week, seemed super tolerable now, considering what I thought was literally  growing within. And two: I needed God‘s peace and relief big time, regardless.  I now know that I'm not actually pregnant—and if I were, we'd be having quite a different chat about the miracles of God and his divine ability to define medical odds (if you know what I mean). But when I was so sure, days upon days, without a shadow of a doubt, that I was going to be adding a sixth child via a geriatric pregnancy, I became consumed with all the taxing implications. Then laser soul-focused on the emotional and spiritual adjustments I needed to make to prepare if this was to be God's plan. And here is where I landed in the midst of my worries, fears, and troubled heart. I have two choices every day—every moment really—in the face of the big unknowns of today and tomorrow. I can either allow the swirling scary thoughts to overwhelm me with worry and anxiety, like this started too. OR, I can hand them over to the One who actually has control of all the outcomes anyway. And here's the kicker, only one of those choices can give me what I really want. Peace.  So, I chose peace. How about you? Is there something that doesn't seem to be going quite as you had planned? And is it disrupting your peace? Do you feel troubled, fearful even? Oh boy was I feeling that big time when me and my apparently pre-menopausal hormones had to take consecutive days of pregnancy tests last week. The thing is, we can't ultimately control a lick of what's in store. And trust me, there's going to be some tough stuff ahead, even if most of your plans do align with your hopes and expectations. But we can still have peace. And peace is most certainly part of God's plan. Always. Better yet, we can have God's peace. Which is so much better, infinitely more rich, than what the world will offer in a variety of fleeting fixes and temporary comforts. In John 14:27, Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you.” He has left it, deposited it, in us, as his followers. To freely tap into, at any time via our advocate, the Holy Spirit. Just like he left it in the disciples before he completed his earthly mission.  Friend, you and I have the Lord‘s peace. We just have to choose it. And I hope you'll choose it too. Intersecting Faith and Life: Take a moment with me, pause, and consider what's concerning you. What is troubling your heart and consuming the thoughts of your soul?  Now, give it to God. Surrender it. Release it.  In doing this you're choosing more peace. And I know that's what we both want. So, today, release and choose peace when you're worried about what might happen. Release and choose God's peace still when what you didn't want does happen. Because sometimes his plans do look different than ours. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Because remember, his plan is always best. He knows and sees what you don't. And no matter what, he has deposited in you, he always offers, and you can always have, his peace.

May the God of Wonders Bless You!

If you desire God's best, you'll spend some time in the wilderness! Jesus, Paul, Moses - and the man on our minds at the moment, David - all spent a season in the desert.That isn't a coincidence. Yesterday Jim began a sermon called, Choosing God's Best, and he pointed out several characteristics of a person "after God's own heart." We'll see today that those traits were developed in the lean, confusing, and downright dangerous years of David's life.

God can play His song through us - but only if we're "tuned." David, the "man after God's own heart," will be our subject of study for the next few weeks. And today Jim will show us what that phrase means. The "sweet psalmist of Israel" would have appreciated the illustration of an instrument tuned to the right pitch, resonating beautifully, just as it was designed to do. Today we'll look at several characteristics of a man - or a woman - after God's own heart.

It's EASY to fall into the trap of compartmentalizing our faith to just Sundays or church events. But we keep it really real over here, and you need to know that true devotion to Christ requires us to live out our faith consistently throughout the week, in every aspect of our lives. We discuss what it means to have loyalty to Christ and how it should be the driving force behind all of our decisions and actions. Choosing God means aligning our priorities, values, and goals with His will for our lives. It means surrendering our own desires and submitting to His plan for us. For all my over thinkers - we unpack fear of making the wrong choices and how it can hold us back from fully committing to following God. It is natural to feel insecure or uncertain about the path we should take, but we must trust in God's guidance and lean on His wisdom to lead us in the right direction. We touch on how you can always make the right choice in alignment with God's will. By staying grounded in prayer, scripture, and community with other believers, we can ensure that our decisions are rooted in faith and obedience to God. Join us as we explore the challenges and blessings of choosing God in all things and learn how to live a life of faith that extends far beyond Sunday worship. Let's become better together by putting our trust and loyalty in Christ in every aspect of our lives.

Proverbs 16:32 It's good for us to ask the question: “What matters most in life?” Time and again the book of Proverbs helps us to think through this question. Many people would assume that it is good to be powerful, to have control of people and even whole communities. But the writer observes that it is far more important to have patience and self-control than great power and influence. He is talking about what the New Testament describes as the fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The Bible never suggests that it is wrong to have wealth or power. If either of them have come your way, give thanks to God! What matters is that we keep them in their proper place. They are nowhere near as important as living for God with the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control that he gives to all those who walk in his ways. Money and power come and go. But the fruit of the Spirit is of a completely different nature, being as eternal and indestructible as God himself. As ever, the focus of Proverbs is on helping the reader to live life to the full. The writer's many severe words of warning always have the intention of helping the reader to avoid pitfalls and disaster. He sees living for God as the most exciting and desirable way to live, which not only brings blessing to us as individuals but to all those around us as well. Choosing God's way is often not the easiest path but it's always the best. Question Be honest: What matters most to you in your life? Prayer Thank you Lord that you love me so much that you share the unvarnished truth with me. Help me to seek the fruit of your Holy Spirit before anything else. Amen

God has already equipped us with his strength and protection to fight the battles we face. When we don't know what to do or where to go, God sustains us and gives us exactly what we need. But then why do we hide, seek out idols and lean on the temporary relief the world provides instead of Him? In this episode, we talk about the many ways we can internally and externally reject God as our protector. It's time to face the reality that we need to break down the walls and turn away from idols to fully trust to the authority of God. "Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine." 1 Samuel 17: 28-40 Support the On Water Podcast financially: ⁠⁠https://buy.stripe.com/eVadUQeK99qG4Cc288⁠⁠ Follow the podcast on instagram ⁠@onwaterpodcast ⁠ Hosted by Jin Choi | ⁠@kaleo.inc Produced by Jaymie Harris | ⁠@jaymieharris ⁠⁠@creativeheartmedia
