In this episode, Bobby reflects on six months of pastoring and draws young people into a powerful truth from Psalm 32. God desires to lead His children with the slightest glance, not the painful pressure required for a stubborn horse or mule. Through vivid imagery and practical challenge, you'll hear how walking closely with God creates a life guided by subtle nudges instead of force — and surrounded by His steadfast love. This is a call to live so near to Him that a simple look is enough to move your heart.Topics DiscussedAdjusting from itinerant evangelism to long-term shepherdingThe spiritual impact of “Awake '25” and formative influencesHow God leads through intimate relationship rather than forceThe meaning of “I will guide thee with mine eye” in Psalm 32The danger of spiritual stubbornness and the imagery of the bit and bridleThe process of being “broken” and why surrender requires trustHow God's hesed — His covenant love — surrounds the yielded believerMoving from external pressure to internal responsivenessPractical examples of hearing God's quiet nudges in daily lifeEncouragement for young people to walk closely and obediently with GodKey TakeawaysGod desires to lead you relationally, not mechanically. Intimacy makes His smallest prompt clear.A stubborn heart forces God to use painful circumstances to get your attention; a surrendered heart responds to a whisper.Trust is the foundation of surrender. You will not follow God's subtle leadings unless you believe His way is good.God's lovingkindness surrounds those who walk near Him, protecting and guiding them in every direction.Yielding to God daily positions you to live a life marked by His presence, His prompting, and His overflowing love.Resource LinksDr. Jim Van Gelderen – “0/100” / “God's Theological Continental Divide”(Link placeholder: INSERT 0/100 SERMON URL)Additional sermons by Dr. John Van Gelderen(Link placeholder: INSERT JOHN VAN GELDEREN SERMON COLLECTION URL)Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast(Link placeholder: INSERT FBC PODCAST URL)Current sermon series (Matthew, 1 Corinthians, Proverbs, Galatians)(Link placeholder: INSERT SERIES PAGE OR MAIN SERMON ARCHIVE URL) If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningHebrews 12 : 2 — Eyes on Jesus : Doubt to Devotion at Dawn“Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” — Hebrews 12 : 2As the first light breaks, Hebrews 12 : 2 calls the heart to focus again. The storms of doubt fade when we look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Across the world—Canada, Australia, Germany, and Mexico—believers rise to seek Him at dawn. Every burden loses weight in the presence of His enduring joy. He has gone before us, conquered shame, and taken His seat in glory. Today, fix your gaze on Christ, and find new strength to begin again.Paragraph 1 – Context In an age of distraction, faith can fracture under pressure. Hebrews 12 : 2 calls us back to focus—away from the noise and toward the cross. Jesus, the pioneer of faith, leads the way with endurance and love. When our attention is fixed on Him, doubt begins to dissolve.Paragraph 2 – Reflection There are moments when questions outnumber answers. Yet the Word teaches that Christ's endurance becomes our example and our encouragement. His joy carried Him through suffering, and that same joy is offered to us. Faith is not about perfection—it's about direction. Keep looking up.Paragraph 3 – Intercession & Vision Pray for those beginning their day weary or uncertain—for students in Germany, families in Mexico, pastors in Canada, and believers in Australia. May the global Church lift its eyes to Jesus once more. Let hearts awaken to His steadying love, and may doubt be replaced with devotion across the nations.Prayer PointsPray for renewed focus on Jesus at the start of every day.Ask God to remove distractions that weaken faith.Pray for victory over doubt and discouragement through Christ.Intercede for those questioning their purpose to find clarity in Jesus.Declare that eyes fixed on Jesus will not be shaken by fear.Pray for endurance to follow Christ through every trial.Ask for strength for leaders running the race of faith.Pray that believers worldwide fix their eyes on Christ, not circumstance.Lift up the next generation to stay focused on eternal purpose.Thank God that Jesus pSupport the showFor more inspiring content, visit RBChristianRadio.net — your home for daily devotionals, global prayer, and biblical encouragement for every season of life.

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

In this gripping continuation of our End Times series, Pastor Travis Hearn unpacks a sobering truth: we are living in the very days the Bible warned us about. In When Right Becomes Wrong, he shines a prophetic light on today's cultural chaos—where deception reigns, morality is collapsing, and darkness is not just around us but rising within us. From AI and mind-controlled tech to the rise of alternative gospels and false prophets, this message exposes how society is embracing the counterfeit while rejecting the truth. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3, Matthew 24, and Revelation 13, Pastor Travis reveals that these aren't just bizarre headlines—they are signs, prophecies fulfilled, and spiritual red flags waving right before our eyes. But in the midst of the darkness, there is a divine promise. God is not silent. He is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh. The enemy may be establishing a system of control, but heaven is orchestrating revival. You'll walk away not just awakened—but armed with biblical clarity, spiritual urgency, and unshakable hope. This is not a message to watch later. This is a message for right now. “When people reject truth, they receive the counterfeit. But when they seek the Truth, they find Jesus.”

Description:In this episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, Heather Creekmore continues her Fear Free Fall series with a deep dive into the fear of failure. Heather unpacks the difference between perfectionism and fear of failure, revealing how each shows up in the ways we approach life, our goals, and our body image struggles. She explores how our definitions of success can become idols and how God’s grace redefines our worth. Heather shares personal experiences, practical examples from her coaching, and biblical encouragement to help listeners break free from the grip of performance-based living and find freedom in Christ. Key Topics: Difference between perfectionism and fear of failure Identity issues at the root of both struggles How fear of failure shows up as avoidance, hesitation, and "analysis paralysis" The role of “success” as an idol and how it influences body image Processing where personal standards and God’s standards diverge God’s grace as the answer to our endless striving for worth Practical encouragement for stepping out in faith, even when failure feels likely Encouragement:Heather challenges listeners to reflect on where fear of failure might be holding them back and offers gospel-centered strategies to reframe their thinking and experience freedom in Christ.

When your child went to heaven, the world saw one loss — but your heart knows it wasn't just one. It was friendships that faded when people didn't know what to say.

In this episode, you'll discover: What the Bible shows us about God's timing when He seems silent in our pain Why the hidden losses beneath your child's death matter — and how naming them brings healing How to rebuild when faith feels different and relationships no longer fit What it means to live restored, not the same, but redeemed You don't have to keep pretending you're okay, friend.

This week's conversation is full of fall break fun including Angela's recent trip to Chicago and Fran's next adventure.  Fran shares more great questions we can ask our children (and ourselves) as we consider who are becoming.  We also contemplate the difference in ruminating vs. meditating as we consider our memory verse for October, 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and a sound mind." We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives.  We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.  Favorite quotes and books referenced in this episode: "Leadership is easy to visualize and harder to actualize." Dr. Dub Oliver Leadership is a journey, it's never a destination.  We should always be learning and growing and evolving.   If you are experiencing a spirit of fear, that is not from the Lord.  We have to know the difference between the two.  God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts, but bold, loving and sensible. Are you ruminating, meditating or marinating? Giddy Up, Eunice!

Thanks for listening!

This week, we are joined by our dear friend and best-selling author, Susannah B. Lewis.  You will love Susannah's humor and authenticity as we discuss our faith and the challenge she placed before us at the Rooted and Rising Women's Event last month.  We talk about the four types of soil and the condition of our hearts, and Susannah shares what prompted her to grow deeper in her relationship with the Lord.   We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus in our everyday lives while also learning, being challenged, and growing together, while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives.  We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.  Favorite quotes from this episode: In praying for wisdom, the Lord gave me the desire for His Word. We have to be rooted in God's Word, or there is no fruit. God wants to transform our hearts!  Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." There is a difference between being saved and being surrendered. The fruit doesn't come from dipping the plant in the soil.  It has to be rooted there.   As I am growing spiritually, my thoughts have changed. My interests have changed.  I am so on fire for the Lord that He has taken priority in my life, and my social media reflects that.   I have come to know just how much I need the blood of Jesus, which in turn makes me bolder to speak that.  We are called to be bold!  That's what he wants from us! The older we get, the more hungry we become for the scriptures! We better understand what Jesus did for us, and we do not take that lightly! If we are struggling to fast from something, it has become an idol.   We should be grieved by what grieves God. Our whole lives are a war between the flesh and the spirit.   "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." Proverbs 4:23 Just because someone is older, that doesn't mean they are wise.  Look for the fruit.  Don't take spiritual advice from someone who is not in God's Word.  We can be aware of what is going on in the world without being consumed by it.  We will drift if we aren't actively drawing closer to the Lord.   Ecclesiastes 1:18 "The greater my wisdom, the greater my grief. To increase knowledge only increases sorrow." Our memory verse for October: 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."

Are you exhausted from trying to be a “better Christian,” follow all the rules, or just fix yourself? In this episode, Heather Creekmore dives into the age-old dilemma every believer faces: Am I supposed to be working on me—and if so, how much of it is up to me, and how much is God’s job? Inspired by the Crowder song “He’s Working on Me Still,” Heather explores the difference between self-powered striving and Spirit-powered transformation. Using honest stories, biblical wisdom (especially from Galatians 5), and practical illustrations, she helps Christian women understand why hustling for holiness leaves us tired—and how true freedom and growth comes when we move from “I’m working on me” to “He’s working on me.” In This Episode: Why spiritual striving, religious rule-following, and willpower can’t bring long-term freedom How diet culture mindsets sneak into our faith and make us rely on formulas instead of God What it means to step out of the driver’s seat and let God be in control (with relatable analogies and humor) The power of relationship over religion and why faith is more than just “doing all the things” How to recognize if your spiritual life is based on head knowledge, not heart transformation Practical steps to move from self-reliance to Spirit-dependence—including honest reflection questions and the importance of daily worship Key Takeaway:Stop striving for self-improvement and start leaning into God’s grace. When we let go of self-reliance and invite the Holy Spirit to lead, we experience true rest, freedom, and lasting spiritual growth.
