[18] For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” [19] And Herodias had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death.

The first American pope, Leo XIV, is making waves by unapologetically restoring traditional Catholic doctrine on marriage, family, and the dignity of life. His early remarks have sparked outrage among progressive activists, but they also mark a sharp turn away from the ambiguities of the Francis papacy. We're going to see the historical and theological roots of Pope Leo's views, exposing the irony of modern progressives advocating for pre-Christian values under the guise of "inclusion."--Head to http://twc.health/turley and use code TURLEY to SAVE $90 off plus Free Shipping *The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

They are the ones who want to return to the darkness of a world closed off from the heavenly life that has broken into our world in and through Christ and his body, the church.”“Progression always, by definition, involves return, as time itself is increasingly transfigured by the light of eternal and everlasting glory.”Timestamps: [01:07] Pope Leo XIV's first statements on marriage and life[04:36] Media and activist backlash to traditional doctrine [06:50] The contrast between Greco-Roman and Christian views on gender and family[11:00] Why true progress lies in a return to eternal truths--Thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode.

Christ-followers need clarity about who we serve and who our boss is—because if we're honest, many of us act as our own boss. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses spiritual authority and how where we place our allegiance and trust impacts every part of our lives. It influences our future more than nationality, education, or genetics. We must decide who our boss is and understand that refusing to yield to God's authority is choosing rebellion. The God we worship asks us to love Him with undivided hearts. When we submit to Him as the true authority and make Jesus Lord over our lives, hope and healing come.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

This week, we’ll hear from Tauren Wells, acclaimed recording artist and lead pastor of Church of Whitestone in Austin, Texas. Raised in Battle Creek, Michigan, Tauren’s early life was steeped in music and shaped by his experiences at a small church and the guidance of a caring youth pastor. In this conversation, Tauren reflects on the things that can steal our focus, the quiet dangers of success, and what it means to live a truly joyful life. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Out of Eden, the ground-breaking sister trio who burst onto the scene in the nineties and helped redefine contemporary Christian music. From their early beginnings singing harmonies and choreographing dances in their living room to performing on big stages in nationwide tours, they navigated the pitfalls of growing up in the spotlight with grace beyond their years. Now, thirty years later, they’re reuniting their voices to offer hope to a new generation.

And I think that’s when our heart can be thrown upside down and all we ever feel is anxiety, fear, doubt, and despair, because we flip the beauty of the reality that we get to do life with God.” - Tauren Wells “There is a relentless joy that flows from being intentionally aware of [God’s] presence.” - Tauren Wells “Jesus preached the most important message on joy, and it was the first thing that He decided to talk about. How important to the heart of God must our happiness be just based on the priority of the message?” - Tauren Wells “Happiness and joy have nothing to do with what’s happening around you; it has everything to do with what is happening inside of you. Restoring that sense of gratitude for the ultimate price that was paid to unlock our freedom is so central to all of our lives as believers.” - Tauren Wells “We found a scripture in Genesis 2:10 that says, ‘A river flows out of Eden to water the garden.’ Once we read that, we knew that was our mission. We grew up in the church, we’ve always been plugged into the Word of God, and we really wanted to use that to minister to those who would be listening to our music.” - Andrea Kimmey-Baca of Out of Eden “I really do believe that because of our grounding in the Word of God and having a community of believers surrounding us, that we were able to ride the harder waves and talk out the things that were more confusing to us.” - Danielle Kimmey of Out of Eden “We just wanted to honor the fans who kept our name and our legacy and our music alive.” - Danielle Kimmey of Out of Eden “We were in an industry that wasn’t really built for our style of music. I think that presented a lot of challenges for us, and gave us the opportunity to not only overcome those challenges, but also have the right heart posture.” - Lisa Kimmey of Out of Eden “For anyone who is going through these current times—we need hope, we need joy.” - Out of Eden ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Friends, we come to the Sixth Sunday of Easter, and as the Church readies us for Pentecost, the readings begin to talk about the Holy Spirit. In today's Gospel, Jesus, speaking to his disciples the night before he dies, says, “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.” In the beginning was the Word, and the Word became flesh. But God spoke his Word into human minds that take it in, mull it over, and look at it from different angles, the idea developing across space and time. And so we need a divine interpreter of the divine Word.

Why are more churches rediscovering and reciting the Nicene Creed? And what can the ancient articulation of Christian belief offer the church in these divided times? Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss the 1700th anniversary of the creed and its place in the modern church. The Bible is critical to our faith, but have we been taught to worship the Bible rather than the God of the Bible? Dave Ripper, the author of “Experiencing Scripture as a Disciple of Jesus,” explains how Dallas Willard engaged the Bible and how it can become a source of transformation, not just information. Also this week: What qualifies as anti-Christian behavior, an update on Afghan and Afrikaner refugees, and scientists discover auras are real.

Segment 1: • Steven claims to be a Christian but struggles to explain why someone should follow Jesus—his gospel lacks clarity on sin and grace. • He believes in heaven and hell, but wavers when asked why Jesus is necessary over other religious options. • With help, he affirms that repentance and faith in Jesus are necessary—but his initial “accept Jesus” language reveals a possible shallow understanding. Segment 2: • Eric admits he'd go to hell if judged by God's standard but hopes he's done “enough good” to balance out the bad. • He's heard the gospel but hasn't grasped the justice of God—he still thinks forgiveness might be based on being “worth it.” • Todd presses in with courtroom analogies and the uniqueness of Jesus' atoning sacrifice. Segment 3: • When pressed for a response from Todd's gospel presentation, Eric visibly reflective, cuts the conversation short. • Next, Todd talks with a student who belongs to a fraternity. The student declines to discuss religion when it becomes personal. • His discomfort reveals the shallowness of cultural tolerance—he's polite but unwilling to explore eternity or truth. Segment 4: • Todd engages a student he's spoken to before who remembers the gospel but remains confused due to exposure to conflicting religious voices. • He asks about how to hear from God; Todd explains the sufficiency of Scripture and why creeds and theology matter. • Still unconverted, but intrigued—he's thinking deeply and appreciates the clarity and engagement. – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

Some believers wish there were a tried and true formula for bringing someone to Christ. Memorize these verses, rehearse these statements. If they ask this, you say that. Well, preparation is good . . . but sometimes people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Holy Spirit is the One who draws people to Christ. We can certainly plant a seed, but we have to allow for the Spirit’s work in their lives.

In April 2023, Kenyan authorities uncovered a waking nightmare: hundreds of shallow graves scattered across the forest floor in Shakahola. What began as ten bodies quickly ballooned into over 400—most of them women and children, many brutally mutilated, raped, or missing organs like eyes, kidneys, and genitalia. These were not peaceful deaths. This was a killing field disguised as holy ground; an execution site for followers of Good News International Ministries, a Christian doomsday cult led by self-proclaimed pastor Paul Mackenzie. Indoctrinated with the belief that starving to death would bring them closer to Christ, victims surrendered food, freedom, and their lives - many buried alive, others butchered in ritualistic public executions.

If God is called “the Rock” in Deuteronomy, how can Catholics say Peter is the rock in Matthew 16:18? We explore how Scripture uses the term and why identifying Peter as the rock of the Church doesn't take anything away from God's ultimate authority. Help us reach our goal by donating! Catholicanswersradio.com Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 29:47 – If a person confesses their sins to a person who is portraying themself as a priest, is that confession valid? 40:07 – Is the following a proper analogy: We are like the apostles who were lost in the quantity of fish they caught and didn't recognize Jesus along the shore? We get caught up in our daily distractions and don’t recognize Jesus. 48:47 – How does the Church resolve God being the rock such as in Deuteronomy?

What if I told you the resurrection of Jesus isn't just something we celebrate—it's everything we stand on? In this episode of The Disciples Journal, I'm breaking down one of the most powerful lines of the gospel creed:“Three days later, He rose from the dead, proving He is the Son of God.” We'll look at why the resurrection is not just a comeback story—but confirmation that every claim Jesus made was true. I unpack what Scripture says in Romans 1:4 and 1 Corinthians 15:17, and why the resurrection isn't optional for our faith—it's foundational. But more than that, I share how the resurrection changes what's possible for us right now. Because He rose, you don't have to stay stuck in your guilt, shame, or spiritual death. There's new life available. Not just someday—today. This is the turning point of history… and the starting point of hope. Let's walk it out together. Learn more about your ad choices.

Chip explains why it's intellectually honest to believe that the God of the Bible is actually the one, true God. As narrow as that may sound, there's compelling evidence that it's true and that you can not only confidently believe in God, but explain to others why they don't have to throw their brains in the trash to believe it too.Main PointsPresupposition #1: Aren't all religions essentially the same?• Answer: No, not all religions lead to the living God.Presupposition #2: Does it really matter what a person believes as long as he or she is sincere and practices those beliefs?• Matthew 7:13-147Reasons I believe the God of the Bible is the one true God1.

Reclaim the greatest commandment as your compass: Love God, love yourself, love others—starting in this very moment. - Gem Fadling, host of the Unhurried Living Podcast In today's Your Daily Prayer episode, Gem Fadling leads us into a grounding reflection on love and presence—two seemingly simple but profoundly powerful spiritual practices. In a world overwhelmed by noise, division, and distraction, we are invited to return to Jesus’ greatest commandment: to love God and love others.

Themes explored: Jesus’ greatest commandment Living with intentional love Practicing presence in a distracted world Loving ourselves as God loves us Spiritual grounding in God’s unchanging presence Scripture References Mark 12:28–31 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. … Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.”

Are you anxious about anything in your life right now? Are you fearful about something coming in the days ahead? If not, then it's likely you'll be tempted toward anxiety and fear in the near future. There is so much we can't control in our lives, but as Psalm 131 reminds us, we weren't made to control our lives or to be autonomous. We were made to humbly rely on God, for this is the only way to experience true and lasting rest. In this message, David Platt encourages us to imitate the Psalmist in Psalm 131 by entrusting our lives to the Lord. Regardless of the trials we may face, those who belong to Christ by faith can rest in God's sovereign goodness and all-sufficient salvation. Explore more content from Radical.

How does the Old Testament prepare us to know Jesus? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper turns to John 5:33–47 to show how all of Scripture bears witness to his glory.

Greg talks about a conversation he had with his cardiologist about intelligent design, then he answers questions about using Psalm 139 in a pro-life defense, why God sends people to Hell, whether it's ever okay to lie, and what to say to a Catholic friend.   Topics: Commentary: Our complex bodies didn't happen by accident. (00:00) Is Psalm 139 really a good passage to use in a pro-life defense? (16:00) What questions should I ask a friend who says he wouldn't want to worship the God of the Bible because he's cruel for sending people to Hell for not believing in him? (33:00) Is there ever a circumstance where it's okay to lie? (44:00) What can I say to a Catholic friend who says Jesus isn't the only one who can intercede for us and who is more concerned about being faithful to Catholicism than reading the Bible to see what God says there?

The greatest authority and power available to any person is a relationship with Almighty God. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us that true authority comes from God, and He requires us to submit to His will. Using Jesus as the ultimate model, Pastor Allen highlights Christ's obedience and humility—even unto death—as the foundation of His divine authority. We live in a culture that resists authority, and rejecting God's authority will continue to invite judgment and diminish the Church's influence in the world. But when Christ-followers choose to recognize God as the ultimate Boss and decide to follow Him, lives are changed—including our own!    To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

New insights come as we revisit our life chapters. As we do, we can invite the Master Teacher to become the author and finisher of our story. Sarah K. Clark, dean of the McKay School of Education at BYU, delivered this devotional address on May 20, 2025. You can access the talk here.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To have a cosmic theology without understanding the personal importance of intimate engagement in union, we can miss becoming image bearer's that can create cosmic reform. Equally, to think it's only about your personal relationship with God, and not about cosmic impact, can keep us from really becoming the body of Christ.   The Homestead Mobile - May 2nd, 2025

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 9 Saul, later known as Paul, continues to pursue Christians to imprison them. On his way to Damascus, a light from heaven stops him. He hears Jesus speaking, asking why Saul is persecuting Him. Blinded, Saul is led into the city to wait for instructions. Meanwhile, God instructs Ananias to visit Saul and restore his sight. Despite his fear, Ananias obeys. Saul learns that he will become an apostle to the Gentiles. After regaining his sight, he is immediately baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit. Saul begins to preach boldly, prompting the Jews to seek to kill him. He escapes to Jerusalem, where Barnabas vouches for him. The chapter also recounts Peter healing Aeneas and raising Tabitha from the dead, demonstrating God's power and inspiring many new believers in Jesus.  Saul's story highlights the transformative power of Jesus Christ. His conversion shows that no one is beyond the call of the gospel. God often uses individuals like Ananias to fulfill His mission. We must confront our fears and seize opportunities to share God's hope with others. It is also inspiring to see Saul immediately active in sharing his faith. Some of the greatest passion for evangelism comes from new converts. We can learn a great deal from them. Like Barnabas, we should defend and support new believers to help God's people embrace them. Lastly, Tabitha was deeply missed and cherished for her charitable spirit. We should seek to be cherished servants among God's people, known for “deeds of kindness and charity.”  Glorious Father, we praise Your patience and relentless pursuit of sinners. You humbled and restored Saul, as You have done with us. We are living testaments to Your grace and love. Teach us to live with gratitude and to obey Your call to share Jesus with others, even when it feels risky or uncertain. Give us the spirit of vigor and the voice of joy to express our faith like those who are new in Christ. Please create an opportunity today to tell someone that You are the Healer, the Forgiver, and You have the power even to raise the dead! Thought Questions: -       What does Saul's conversion tell you about God's love? Saul committed to God out of gratitude. How powerful is gratitude in driving your faith? -       Barnabas defends Saul when others are fearful. How should you be like Barnabas when someone with a troubled past comes to Christ? -       Tabitha was treasured for her charitable deeds. When you pass from this life, how do you want to be remembered by the family of God?
