Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.20 You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless[a]? 21 Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. 23 And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,”[b] and he was called God's friend. 24 You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone.25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? 26 As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

In this spiritual finale, Julie reveals how divine identity shapes your daily becoming and invites you to trust the One who already called you.There's a deeper reason your identity work matters.Not just to feel better.Not just to achieve more.But because God is inviting you to become — with Him, not just for Him.In this special Sunday finale, Julie Holly closes Season One by turning our attention vertically because true alignment doesn't start with strategy — it starts with surrender.If you've ever wrestled with questions like:Am I really walking in my calling?What if I've missed it… or messed it up?Why doesn't success feel like peace?…this episode will meet you there.You'll hear:Why hustle is a counterfeit of callingHow David's wait reveals the pace of purposeWhat Rebekah Lyons discovered in her “freefall to fly”Why God calls the willing — not the polished

Killing God's Enemies:: The Crazy War Against Jews, African-Americans and the U.S. Government by John Lee Brook (Author)  Killing God's Enemies relates the origin, history and activities of the church of Christian Identity and its violent outgrowth called the Phineas Priesthood. In doing so, the book reveals the group's philosophy of hate; their methodology, which is death to all blacks, Jews, homosexuals and abortionists; and their goal, which is an America ruled by white men. The church of Christian Identity is a small and obscure religious denomination. Its radical arm— the Phineas Priesthood— barely registers on the radar screens of the general public's consciousness. That is, until it's too late. For the Phineas Priesthood is unlike any other priesthood. There is no seminary and no ordination. There is only one requirement: kill the enemies of God. Killing God's Enemies will tell the fantastic but true tale of how Christian Identity came to exist, where the idea of the Phineas Priesthood came from, relate the violent exploits of the Priesthood's lone warriors, and show how Anti-Semitism forms the fulcrum upon which Christian Identity pivots.https://amzn.to/4oe0MIVBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Send us a textIn this second episode of our Shame to Shalom series, we're digging into those nagging whispers—“you're too much” or “you're not enough”—that have shaped so much of how we see ourselves. But what if those labels never came from God? Starting with His question in Genesis 3:11, “Who told you that…?” we invite you to reflect with us on the origin of shame and how to gently dismantle it. Through our own stories and Scripture, we discover that we're not broken projects—we're God's poema from Ephesians 2:10: His intentional, beautiful workmanship.We also introduce practical tools like breath prayers, guided exercises, and we bring back a tried and true approach called “Look and Learn”—a five-question framework that helps us respond to failure with grace, not guilt. Instead of spiraling into shame, we're learning to get curious, notice our thoughts, and bring in truth. If the voice inside sounds more like a bully than our Shepherd, it's time to challenge it. Join us as we continue the journey of replacing old lies with God's words of peace and purpose.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

This sermon from First Peter Chapter 2 explores what it means to be part of God's royal priesthood as Christians living in a post-Christian society. Pastor emphasizes that believers are called to live set apart in the world to reveal the One who set them apart. Just as the early Christians faced persecution under Emperor Nero, today's believers must maintain their distinct identity while conducting themselves honorably, even toward authorities they may disagree with. The sermon highlights Jesus as the cornerstone of our faith and explains how Christians are living stones being built into a spiritual house.The pastor mentioned that 'our mouth reveals our heart.' How have you seen this play out in your own life or in the lives of others?In verse 2, Peter compares our need for God's Word to a newborn's need for milk. How would you describe your current hunger for Scripture? What practical steps could you take to develop a deeper desire for God's Word?What does it mean that Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith? What happens when we build our lives on other foundations?The sermon emphasized that we are 'living stones' being built into a spiritual house. How does this metaphor change how you view your role in the church?Peter calls believers to 'honor everyone' and even to honor authorities we might disagree with. Why is this so challenging, and how can we practice this in today's polarized society?What does it mean to be part of a 'royal priesthood'? How should this identity affect our daily lives outside the church walls?The pastor stated that 'any gospel that does not require submission to Christ and the denial of our flesh is a false gospel.' How have you seen this truth challenged in today's culture?How would you answer the pastor's reflection question: 'What has changed about me since becoming a disciple of Christ?'Support the show

Send us a textGame Over: Breaking Free from Your PastPodcast Title: Daily Christian Devotional with Reverend Ben Cooper Have you ever felt like the past won't let go of you — like no matter how far you've come, the mistakes, labels, or voices from yesterday are still chasing you? In today's powerful devotional, Reverend Ben Cooper walks us through Exodus 14, where God's people stood at the Red Sea, trapped between Pharaoh's army and their future. It was a defining 50/50 moment — return to the captivity they knew or step forward into the freedom God promised.This episode is a call to break the chains of history and declare "Game Over" to every voice, lie, or fear that tries to hold you back. Rev. Ben reminds us of a profound truth:“What if you truly believed that your history was nailed to the cross of Calvary before you even lived it?”Through a faith-filled exploration of Scripture, Ben shares how God positions us for freedom and how our past no longer defines us. The God who delivered Israel is the same God who silences our accusers, breaks our shame, and goes to battle on our behalf.What You'll Learn:How to stop letting others define you by your pastThe biblical truth of Exodus 14:13–14 — “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still”Why your identity in Christ is greater than your historyHow to speak faith and truth over your situation using Hebrews 11:1Why God says “I will be an enemy to your enemies” (Exodus 23:22)The spiritual strategy of surrendering battles to the LordYou'll also hear a powerful word about letting go of fruitless arguments, online debates, and self-justification. God never calls us to exhaust ourselves trying to convince others — He calls us to walk in the freedom of forgiveness.Scripture Focus:Exodus 14:13–14Hebrews 11:1 — “Faith is the substance of things hoped for…”Exodus 23:22 — “I will be an enemy to your enemy.”Bonus Insight:With over 1,400 past episodes in our archive, Daily Christian Devotional with Reverend Ben Cooper offers rich, consistent, Bible-rooted content to encourage your walk every day — through devotionals, prayer, and powerful teaching on faith, healing, and hope.Call to Action:If this episode encouraged your heart, consider supporting our listener-funded podcast.

Send us a textIn this first episode of our four-part series, we open up about the quiet yet powerful voice of shame that often whispers when we look in the mirror. From body image struggles to deeply rooted family messages, we share our own stories and trace the roots of shame all the way back to the Garden of Eden. But we don't stop there—together, we explore the hope that comes when we realize Jesus carried not just our sin, but our shame too.This episode isn't just about identifying the problem—it's about offering real tools for healing. We walk through practices like The God List, Praise Fests, and breath prayers that have helped us trade shame-filled lies for truth-filled peace. You'll hear the difference between conviction and shame, and we'll help you reclaim your reflection as a sacred space.

 On today's episode, we heed Jesus' call to examine not just what we say we believe, but the force that dominates our hearts. Inspired by a haunting dream from Saint Augustine and the sobering words of Jesus in Matthew 7, we ask: What is the force that truly drives your life? Is it Christ—or something else?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

How should Christians approach immigration, justice, and faith in today's cultural climate? In this episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim dive into "Joyful, Peaceful, and Gracious Noncompliance," exploring what scripture teaches about welcoming the stranger, showing compassion, and advocating for justice. Drawing on the work of experts like Matthew Soerens and their own reflections, they tackle the complex intersections of cruciformity, faith and politics, and the role of the church in society. Through real-life stories, scripture analysis, and discussions on cultural challenges, they address the dehumanizing language often used in immigration debates, the tension between legality and justice, and the church's responsibility to embody the teachings of Jesus. What does it mean to love our neighbor, especially when they are vulnerable? How can the church navigate these issues with humility, courage, and hope? Engage with thoughtful insights, critical questions, and a call to action to advocate for justice in peaceful, gracious ways.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Listen Now What does it truly mean to be a child of God? In this episode, Steve Wood explores the life-changing power of Christian identity, drawing from 1 John 3 and insights from spiritual writers like Sam Storms and the Navarre Bible. While many Christians are told they are children of God, few deeply know it in the biblical sense—a knowledge that transforms hearts and anchors faith. Steve unpacks why this identity isn't just a metaphor, but a supernatural reality brought about by the Holy Spirit, and how embracing it can protect faith—especially in a world where many young believers drift away. Learn how understanding your divine adoption can strengthen your relationship with God and provide lasting spiritual stability. Want more in-depth resources?

Pride Month is evil, and we must call it what it is. In this episode, we're discussing the spiritual implications of Pride Month, asking hard questions about what it represents—and how believers should respond. We're drawing the connection between pride, identity, and rebellion against God's design for human flourishing.Many Christians feel spiritually drained during this month, and we should. I'm challenging my listeners to love the LGBTQ+ community not with silence or compromise (and certainly not with support) but with truth—the truth that God offers forgiveness, transformation, and eternal life to all who repent and follow Christ.We must hate sin while praying for our enemies. Our culture desperately needs more holiness, conviction, and compassion rooted in the gospel, which is telling those around us the truth.—https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqBR_MWE2-fkYXYHCn80nZtEct4ixmRGrXZSrgIn5HP_tBc9Mcy

This sermon explores key theological themes from Colossians 1:15-23. Pastor Devin breaks down eight major theological concepts including Christology, Biblical cosmology, the supremacy of Christ, soteriology (salvation), ecclesiology (church doctrine), eschatology (end times), spiritual warfare, and theology proper. The passage emphasizes Jesus' divine nature, his role as creator and sustainer of all things, and his supremacy over all creation.Discussion Questions:What does it mean that Jesus is 'the image of the invisible God'?How does understanding Jesus as Creator affect your view of Him?What does it mean that 'by Him all things hold together'?Why is it important that Jesus is the head of the church?How does Jesus' blood bring reconciliation between God and humans?What does it mean to remain 'grounded and steadfast in the faith'?How do you distinguish between God's sovereign will and His relational will?What areas of your life need to be brought under Christ's supremacy?Support the show

Today, Mike and Tim discuss the implications of current events, the responsibilities of Christians towards marginalized communities, and the concept of cruciformity in relation to leadership and community engagement. The dialogue emphasizes the need for empathy, awareness, and a commitment to serving others in the face of societal challenges. In this conversation, Mike and Tim explore the transformation of church leadership and community through the lens of grace and cruciformity. They critique the consumer-driven metrics of success in churches, emphasizing the need for a shift towards a more authentic and vulnerable leadership style that prioritizes love and community over prestige and power. The discussion highlights the dangers of traditional leadership models and the importance of fostering a culture that values people and their growth. But first... Andor? Sinners? Beyonce'? "I am an individual with an inalienable bill of rights and constitutional freedoms; I am an American citizen, promised upward mobility and a shot at the American dream if I just work hard and believe in myself; I am a consumer of religious goods and services, church shopping until I find a church that meets my needs; I am engaged in a culture war that can only be won through the exercise of political power against my political opponents who are ruining our country..." or "I am one of the ‘holy ones,' and a minister,  formerly dead and enslaved, but now, because of the mercy of God, I am alive and rescued into a newly reconciled human community, called the church. Belonging now to the new humanity,  I am saved and transformed utterly by grace, so that the basis of all human boasting, status seeking, and rivalry has been removed.  I am therefore free to receive others as gifts and siblings."

Today, we're discussing the recent controversy surrounding Shiloh Hendrix, who called a black child a racial slur at a playground instead of taking the concern to the child's parents. This behavior is not only unacceptable—it's unchristian. As followers of Christ, we are called to be above reproach (1 Timothy 3:2), especially when dealing with the next generation. God will not judge us by our skin color, so why are we so quick to judge others by theirs? We can simultaneously be aware of the statistics about certain cultures within particular races, and realize that this is not how we handle those problems. We'll explore the biblical approach to conflict resolution. When there's a problem with a child's behavior, the godly route is to speak directly with their parents—not to attack the child. Christians must hold one another accountable. --https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of child sexual assault. In today's conversation, Nadine sits down with Rebecca Hitchcock, author of What I Didn't Learn in Church, to unpack the heavy but vital topic of shame. Rebecca vulnerably shares her personal story of experiencing sexual abuse at age five, the lingering shame it caused throughout her life, and how it resurfaced during her struggles with postpartum depression. Raised in a Christian home and once a high-level fashion director in Chicago, Rebecca eventually left her career to raise her family and pursue deeper spiritual healing. For more than two decades, she has led women's Bible studies across the Midwest, helping others find freedom in Christ. Her book, What I Didn't Learn in Church, shares many of these lessons and is available at rebeccahitchcock.org (rebeccahitchcock.org). Rebecca explains how her understanding of God's Word radically shifted her experience of shame. She invites listeners to stop hustling for worthiness and instead receive the “double portion” of acceptance and identity God offers in Scripture. Together, Nadine and Rebecca walk through key Bible passages that anchor the episode's message, including: Isaiah 61:7 — Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion. 2 Corinthians 5:17 — Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:21 — He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God. Matthew 11:28 — Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. This episode reminds every woman that shame has no claim on her life when she stands in Christ's freedom. Rebecca encourages listeners to take even five minutes to sit with God, ask for His love, and begin exchanging shame for the truth of who they are in Him.

Welcome to Episode 480 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing. In this powerful session, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake explore the deep spiritual truths surrounding the believer as a living temple of the Holy Spirit, the importance of displacing trauma and mind control with the presence of God, and the restoration of true biblical priesthood. Mary Lou opens with prophetic reflections on current events—including the passing of the Pope, RFK Jr.'s health reforms, and the damage of artificial dyes and vaccine-induced pineal gland harm. She then shares heartfelt testimony about overcoming trauma-based reactions and discovering healing through the blood of Jesus. Dr. Lake builds on this by teaching how believers are called to be mobile temples, ambassadors of the Kingdom, and part of a royal priesthood—carrying the fire and presence of God into a world bound by spiritual darkness. This is a vital message for anyone feeling burdened by the past, confused by culture, or ready to step into their calling as part of God's end-time remnant. ⏱ Timeline of Topics Discussed: 00:00 – Introduction and reflections on the Pope's passing 02:41 – Kidney transplant testimony and prayer for Joanne 05:10 – RFK Jr.'s food dye ban and protecting children's health 09:32 – Spike protein damage to pineal gland and prophetic insight 14:40 – Childhood trauma triggers and reactions to honking 21:02 – Dealing with inherited strongholds and healing through Jesus 27:33 – The believer as the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:12–20) 35:18 – Carrying the Ark of the Covenant within: manifested presence 44:00 – Practicing the Presence of God daily (Brother Lawrence reference) 50:15 – Spiritual warfare, inner healing, and self-deliverance 56:20 – A call back to Hebraic foundations and undoing 2,000 years of drift 1:02:45 – The priesthood of all believers and restoring Biblical authority 1:10:12 – Ambassadors of Christ and standing in Kingdom authority 1:19:33 – Breaking chains of Pharaoh and praying for remnant freedom 1:22:55 – Final thoughts and prayer for deliverance and new beginnings

What does it mean to pledge allegiance to Jesus over earthly governments? Craig is joined by Jason Porterfield, author of Fight Like Jesus: How Jesus Waged Peace Throughout Holy Week, to explore the complex relationship between Christianity and the state. They address four topics often considered "too political" but essential for Christians seeking to faithfully follow Jesus's teachings, encouraging believers to examine where their true allegiance lies.  Point by point, Craig and Jason discuss: Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God. The Gospels speak of giving one's pistis (allegiance) to Jesus. The New Testament writers declared Jesus, not Caesar, to be Lord. The early church refused to display any national flag. Through personal stories, biblical insights, and looking to early Christian perspectives on political involvement, the pair trace how government influence has shaped the church and consider what that means for believers today. Key Topics that come up in the conversation:
