Thanks for listening.

In this Faith Talks episode, Janna and Judson "Faith" reflect on what it means to begin a new year marked not merely by resolutions, but by genuine steps of faith. Drawing primarily from Colossians, they explain how biblical faith is rooted in knowing who God is, trusting His promises, and allowing His Word to shape daily decisions. Rather than chasing comfort or vague spiritual goals, listeners are encouraged to let Scripture dwell richly in their hearts so faith can actively walk forward in real life.Topics DiscussedWhy Colossians begins with truth before commands and how that shapes obedienceFaith as a walk grounded in God's character, not feelings or circumstancesLetting the peace of God rule, even in uncertainty, trials, or pressureThe role of Scripture in overcoming temptation and spiritual battlesUnderstanding identity in Christ and resisting lies with biblical truthDiscerning God's will through knowing His heart in His WordClosed doors, God's timing, and trusting Him for miraculous openingsPractical ideas like claiming verses, “I am in Christ” statements, and intentional prayer for faith stepsKey TakeawaysFaith for the new year is not primarily about goals but about obedient steps rooted in truth.Knowing who God is precedes trusting what God asks you to do.Scripture is essential fuel for peace, victory over temptation, and clarity in God's will.Believers are already complete in Christ and are called to live out that reality by faith.A meaningful spiritual resolution is to say yes to God's Word and walk accordingly, whatever the year may bring.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation Podcast designed to help young ladies grow in faith and live it out daily.

If your faith feels heavier than it used to, you're not alone.You still believe.You still love God.But it feels harder to focus… harder to pray… harder to stay present.Many Christians today feel spiritually tired, mentally overwhelmed, and quietly discouraged—and they don't know why. This video isn't about guilt or trying harder. It's about understanding what's shaping our minds, why discouragement feels so common right now, and how Scripture calls us to respond with clarity, rest, and hope.In this episode of Behind the Mike Podcast, we talk about:• Why spiritual exhaustion doesn't mean weak faith• How distraction and discouragement subtly reshape our thinking• The difference between conviction and condemnation• What the Bible says about guarding and renewing the mind• How to fight back without burning out or drowning in shameThis is a pastoral, honest conversation for anyone who feels worn down but still wants to follow Jesus faithfully.

Send us a textWhat if thanksgiving isn't just a response to what God has done—but an act of faith for what He has promised?In this episode, we explore thanksgiving as the highest expression of faith—praise offered before evidence appears, joy chosen before circumstances change.In this episode, we reflect on:Why thanksgiving leads to praise—and praise leads to joyThe joy cycle: Thanksgiving → Praise → RejoicingThe difference between thanking God for what has happened vs. thanking Him by faithWhy praise in advance doesn't deny feelings—but transcends themBiblical examples of faith-filled thanksgiving, including Jesus HimselfHow gratitude shifts your perspective, guards your peace, and opens your heart to God's increaseEven when the fig tree doesn't blossom…Even when the harvest hasn't appeared…Faith says: “Yet I will rejoice.”This message is an invitation to ask yourself:What would change if I thanked God before the harvest?And to declare with confidence:“This time next year — I'll testify.”Themes: Faith • Thanksgiving • Praise • Joy • Mind Shifts  • Trusting God • HopeScriptures referenced: Psalm 136:1–4 Hebrews 11:1–3 Joel 1:12 Habakkuk 3:17–19 Psalm 67:5–6 Philippians 4:6–9Get Your Hopes Up!@damiteninwww.bydami.comwww.tribalmarks.com

Send us a textIn this personal year-end message, I share honestly about a season of loss, pause, and transition—and how God has been faithfully rebuilding the work of Soaring with Him Ministries.This year brought unexpected grief, caregiving, job loss, and closed doors—but also renewed calling, expanded podcast reach, and continued ministry to vulnerable women. This is not the end. It is a new chapter.

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

Key Points:A new year doesn't make us new—intentional steps taken beforehand do.Growth comes not from experience alone, but from reflecting on it.God calls His people to remember His Word and live by it.Remembering God's Word means reading, obeying, and applying it daily.True repentance is a change of mind that leads to a change of direction.John the Baptist fulfilled Malachi's promise by calling people to repentance.Restoration comes only through Jesus, not the law or prophets.Jesus took the curse upon Himself on the cross to offer blessing and renewal.Before entering a new year, believers must intentionally unpack what weighs them down and carry forward what draws them closer to God.Scripture References:Malachi 4:4–6Deuteronomy 4:8–10Joshua 1:7–8Exodus 20:1–17 (Ten Commandments – referenced)Matthew 22:37–40Psalm 119:105Job 23:121 Kings 18 (Elijah on Mount Carmel – referenced)Luke 1:13–17Matthew 11:14Acts 2:38Matthew 17:11–121 Peter 4:17 ------------------------------------------We're so glad you're here!

Send us a textWe ask a simple but searching question: is a date on the calendar quietly running your spiritual life? Together, we talk about the common habit of waiting for January 1st—or Monday, or the “right time”—to finally change, and how that delay slowly erodes peace, fuels numbing behaviors, and keeps us distant from God. We explore the hidden costs of postponement during the holidays: overeating that dulls awareness, scrolling that steals presence, spending that numbs grief, and the pressure that crashes down when the new year arrives. Anchored in Romans 12:2, Proverbs 3:5–6, and Psalm 95, we re-frame change as daily mind renewal and trust, not a performance-driven reset. Along the way, we share honest stories of striving, fear of failure, and the relief that comes when we let go of perfectionism and return to a daily walk with God.At the heart of the episode is Look and Learn, a simple two-part rhythm for resilient growth. First, we look with God at what actually happened—without judgment—asking questions like: Was I tired? Triggered? Believing something untrue? Then we learn by naming truth we can hold onto now and considering how we might respond differently next time. This practice turns setbacks into growth points and reminds us that every moment is an invitation to begin again. We close by remembering that the gospel calls us to reliance, not resolutions, and that Philippians 1:6 assures us God Himself is faithfully carrying the process forward. If you're tired of waiting for the perfect start, we invite you to take one surrendered step today.Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Bobby Bosler shares a simple Christmas challenge from Mark 10:45: Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. With Christmas break and “time off,” it's easy to drift into an entitlement mindset, but Jesus' coming calls us to a different posture. This episode urges young people to make Christmas break a season of joyful, intentional ministry at home, in the church, and in the community.Topics DiscussedSnow culture shock: Wisconsin vs. the mountains of West VirginiaWhy Mark 10:45 is a “Christmas verse” in contextThe temptation of “me-first” living during breaks and holidaysEntitlement at home (parents, siblings, routines, expectations)Serving practically in your local church during Christmas events“Don't be a jerk this Christmas”: choosing humility and helpfulnessTotal surrender expressed through ministry that benefits “many”Key TakeawaysJesus had every right to be served, yet He chose to serve. Follow His example.Christmas break is a gift, not a license to drift into selfish patterns.The most encouraging thing you can bring home is a servant spirit.Serving your family and church is not “extra,” it's part of living surrendered.A Christ-centered Christmas looks like giving yourself for the good of others.

Send us a textIf you love Jesus but feel worn down by the weight of life--family pressure, grief, finances, burnout, or the constant need to hold everything together--Jesus offers you something your heart desperately craves. Peace.In this Advent message, Pastor Jason reflects on Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:25-30: "Come to me, all you who are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." Jesus does not offer peace by removing responsibility or chaos, but by offering Himself in the middle of it.This message explores what it means to stop trying to control what was never ours to carry and to discover peace. Not through strength or self-reliance, but through childlike trust in Christ. Real peace does not come having everything figured out--it comes from knowing who is holding you.If like feels crushing and rest feels out of reach, listen in. Jesus is still calling the weary to come.Episodes in the "Like a Child" series:Hope like a ChildPeace like a ChildJoy like a ChildLove like a ChildLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen recounts a week when every vehicle he relied on broke down at once, leaving him overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. While wrestling with the pressure of unmet needs, God used Colossians 2:6–7 to redirect his heart: the life of faith isn't powered by human problem-solving but by abounding with thanksgiving. As Dr. Jim began thanking God for the very things that were weighing him down, peace replaced panic and God provided in unmistakable ways. His story shows that genuine faith doesn't start when circumstances improve. Faith begins with “Thank You.”Topics DiscussedAn avalanche of vehicle breakdowns and impossible logisticsThe human tendency to try to figure everything out instead of walk by faithHow Colossians 2:6–7 ties faith and thanksgiving togetherThe difference between thanking God for blessings and thanking Him for burdensWhy thanksgiving is an act of faith, not a feelingHow choosing gratitude transforms your spirit in the middle of difficultyGod's surprising provision of a truck and SuburbanWhy the spiritual breakthrough mattered more than the material answersKey TakeawaysYou received Christ by faith, and you walk in Him the same way: by trusting Him enough to thank Him even before the answers come.Thanksgiving is not a reaction to good circumstances; it is the expression of faith that God is working when you cannot see how.When you choose to say “thank You” in the middle of pressure, God lifts the weight and gives grace that changes everything.Referenced ResourcesShort Clip: “Abounding Faith”The brief clip Dr. Jim saw on WhatsApp status from Bobby Bosler.Youtube Short, Instagram Reel, Facebook Reel, TikTok ShortFull Sermon: “Abounding with Thanksgiving”The full message Dr. Jim mentioned, unpacking Colossians 2:6–7 and the connection between faith and gratitude.Listen on Spotify, Listen on Apple Podcasts If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

In this Faith Talks conversation, Janna opens up about a quiet but heavy fear many young women feel yet rarely express: the fear of wasting their lives. Through honest reflections on comparison, expectations, and the pressure to measure up, she shares how God has been reshaping her perspective. Her story offers a refreshing reminder that a life surrendered to Christ is never wasted, even when the path feels unseen or slow.Topics DiscussedThe subtle ways comparison fuels fear and insecurityWhy “falling behind” is more about perception than truthLearning to trust God with timing, calling, and identityHow hidden seasons often become the most shaping onesWhat surrender looks like when fear gets loudAllowing God to define significance instead of culture or peersKey TakeawaysFear of wasting your life usually grows in the gap between what you expected and what God is actually doing.Comparison blinds you to the quiet work of grace happening beneath the surface.God never wastes obedience; He wastes nothing surrendered to Him.Slow seasons are often the most formative, teaching humility, trust, and resilience.The antidote to fear isn't striving harder but resting more deeply in God's faithfulness.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation Podcast designed to help young ladies grow in faith and live it out daily.

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.

Together, they discuss the foundational truths of parenting—keeping a clean heart, anchoring your home in God's Word, and raising children to love and serve others. They also tackle fear, trust, and joy—reminding every woman listening that peace is possible, joy is worth fighting for, and choosing life in Jesus changes everything.With warmth, humor, and deep faith, DeAnza shares stories of raising her kids (including her daughter and fellow Grove girl, DawnCheré Wilkerson), practical wisdom for moms in every season, and the reminder that God fills in every gap we miss. DeAnza's stories will remind you that you don't have to get everything right—because God fills in the gaps. From French toast breakfasts and scripture at the table to singing “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” at bedtime, she shares how simple, faithful rhythms shape generations.Whether you're a mother or simply someone learning to trust God with what you can't control, this episode offers encouragement to fight for joy, walk in courage, and believe that grace is always enough. The Grove is an extension of all God is doing at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.
