What moves us from where we are to where we need to be? Often, it's pain or vision. Pain can be a good motivator, but it's a bad master. Vision moves us from the inside and gives us something to move toward. And when vision is real, it doesn't remain an idea; it turns into a plan.

Abide: Staying Connected to Jesus with Jeannie Cunnion – John 15In Episode 152 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane welcome back author and Bible teacher Jeannie Cunnion for a powerful conversation about one of the central invitations of John 15: Abide in Me.What does it actually look like to abide in Jesus—not just during quiet time or Bible study, but in the middle of busy schedules, difficult seasons, relationships, parenting, work, and everyday life?Together, Jamie, Jane, and Jeannie explore the difference between striving for God and staying connected to God. They unpack Jesus' picture of the Vine and the branches, why fruit is the result of abiding rather than performing, and how we can recognize when we've begun trying to produce in our own strength.They also talk honestly about pruning, surrender, intimacy with Jesus, and learning to remain in His love when God seems to be cutting away things we thought we needed.John 15 reminds us that Jesus isn't asking us to manufacture more fruit. He's inviting us to stay close to the Vine.If you've been tired from striving, questioning a season of pruning, or simply longing for deeper intimacy with Jesus, pull up a chair. This conversation is an invitation to stop performing—and start abiding.Reflection Question: Am I trying to produce fruit for Jesus—or am I staying close enough to Him that fruit becomes the natural result?____________________________________Connect with Jeannie Cunnion:Website: https://www.jeanniecunnion.com/____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

Christian leadership isn't about being the hero or having all the answers. It begins with following Jesus faithfully and helping others follow Him alongside you. In this episode, Albo Esilaba talks with Vince Miller, founder and president of Resolute Ministries and a featured speaker at the 2027 No Regrets Men's Conference. Vince shares how his struggle to become the perfect husband and father transformed his understanding of leadership. He and Albo explore overcoming shame and repetitive sin, replacing false humility with authentic vulnerability, and using prayer and Scripture to deepen intimacy with God. They also discuss why experienced Christian leaders can lose their wonder for God's Word, how ministry ambition can become discontentment, and why men must silence the voice of self-disqualification that keeps them on the sidelines. In this episode: • Following Jesus instead of trying to be the hero • Overcoming shame, fear, and defeatist thinking • Practicing authentic vulnerability • Building intimacy with God through Scripture and prayer • Recovering joy in God's Word • Pursuing contentment and finishing well • Stepping into Christian leadership with courage Join Vince Miller at the No Regrets Men's Conference on February 6, 2027: https://www.noregretsconference.org/ Vince Miller and Resolute Ministries: https://beresolute.org/ No Regrets Men's Ministry: https://noregretsmen.org/

Deconstructing Christianity isn't always the same as walking away from God. Sometimes it could mean examining legalism, controlling traditions, or inherited beliefs so we can understand what Scripture actually teaches.But what happens when we stop deconstructing false teaching and begin deconstructing the truth itself, rebuilding faith around our comfort, desires, or the opinions of people we admire online?This week, I'm back with the team to talk about faith deconstruction, and the responsibility that comes with Christian Influence. Together, we discuss testing every voice against God's Word, the consequence that comes with identifying, publicly, as a Christian, and why platform size does not determine whether you have influence. The question is: Are our words pointing others toward Christ or giving them permission to compromise?If you're navigating doubt, or, stewarding a platform of your own, this episode is for you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How do you respond when people praise you? Proverbs 27:21 says that just as silver is tested in a crucible and gold in a furnace, a person is tested by praise. In this Soul02 episode, I explore why applause can expose character more deeply than criticism. Through the contrasting biblical responses of Herod, Paul, and Barnabas, this episode examines praise, pride, humility, Christian character, leadership, identity, accountability, and the danger of living for human approval. Recent psychological research on praise addiction, parental overvaluation, narcissism, and hubristic leadership adds practical depth to this biblical message. You will learn how to receive encouragement without becoming dependent on it, remain teachable after success, remember the role of grace, celebrate the gifts of others, and stay faithful when no one is watching. Watch, share, and subscribe for thoughtful biblical teaching that connects Scripture, theology, and everyday life.Connect with us: YouTube: YouTube.com/@soul02-oxygen Facebook: @LP.Oxygen https://www.facebook.com/LP.Oxygen Instagram: LP.Oxygen Twitter: @Soul025 Buzzsprout: Soul02-Buzzsprout Spotify: Soul02 - Spotify Apple: Soul02-Itunes Stitcher: Soul02-Stitcher

Recorded in Ukraine, Pastor Tim Quintrell sits down with Mike Crane of Cornerstone Church in Amite, Louisiana, to reflect on his time serving with the team. They went to pour out and love the people of Ukraine, but along the way, God poured into them. Mike shares a moment when the Lord spoke clearly to him: “I brought you here to show you My glory.”

In week 3 of the Reform series, Samuel Goulet continues exploring what it means for God to make crooked paths straight by looking at the story of Nehemiah. Through Nehemiah's response to Jerusalem's broken walls, this message calls listeners to open their eyes to the brokenness around them, let compassion move them to prayer, and then rise up in obedience to build where God is leading. Rather than waiting for perfect credentials or expert status, Samuel challenges the church to respond with humility, faith, and willingness—trusting that God gives grace, resource, and assignment as His people step into the work of restoration.

In Part 1 of Dreams Do Come True, Pastor Armando Palazzo explores what the Bible actually teaches about dreams, ambition, purpose, God's will, and discerning the desires of our hearts.Main Scripture:  Habakkuk 2:2-4, Psalm 37:4-7, and Psalm 1Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

God often begins gospel advance with a burden to pray for the next town. In this episode, Mark Gillmore talks with Andrew Haertl about how God led him from a surrendered teenager and college student to pastor a church in Shawano, Wisconsin, and to seek gospel advance in Clintonville and the surrounding region. Will you ask God to show you the next step of faith—and take it?Topics DiscussedAndrew Haertl's salvation testimony, early call to preach, and renewed surrender to serve the LordLearning to hear God's voice through a clean heart, God's Word, prayer, and patient obedienceChurch planting in Shawano, Wisconsin, and a burden for the towns surrounding itPrayer for Clintonville and the Lord's redirecting of a planned gospel tent meetingPrayer Advance meetings, ministry partnerships, door-to-door outreach, and the opening Clintonville Bible studyGreat Commission completion through gospel-preaching churches multiplying into nearby communitiesKey TakeawaysGod can use young people who surrender to Him and obey the light He gives for the next step.A clean heart, time in God's Word, and prayer prepare believers to recognize and follow God's leading.Gospel advance often begins when believers pray specifically for the next town and step out in faith.Closed doors do not end God's work; He can redirect His people into a better path.Small churches can bear a real burden for the harvest beyond their own community.

Episode SummarySuccess is not found in a platform, a ministry title, or a number on a dashboard. In this episode, Bobby Bosler opens John 1 and Galatians 6 to show that Christ's simple call—Follow Me—defines a life of true success, whether it leads to a visible ministry or quiet faithfulness.

In this second message on reform, Samuel Goulet continues unpacking what it means for the church to bring the culture of Jesus into the world—not by abandoning broken systems, but by carrying Christ's integrity, servant-hearted leadership, and ministry of reconciliation into every sphere of influence. Through Scripture and practical teaching, he challenges believers to pursue holiness, reject fear, and become people who help make crooked things straight in their families, workplaces, city, and culture.

Recorded from Ukraine, guest hosts Pastors Tim and Dawn Quintrell share from their time serving alongside the team. On her first trip, Dawn discovered that sometimes you don't need all the answers; you simply need to take the next step and show up with love. She shares what the Lord taught her about loving people well, including a beautiful story of how God used an anniversary ring to remind one woman that He sees her and loves her.

This message deeply explores the challenging truths Jesus shared about discipleship, emphasizing that following Him inherently brings conflict, division, and sacrifice. It confronts cultural expectations of peace, the reality of relational strain, and the profound cost of living a life fully committed to Christ. The preacher encourages believers to embrace grace, repentance, and courage, highlighting the spiritual warfare involved in genuine faith and the hope that sustains it.Main Scripture:  Matthew 10:32-36Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Hey Guys! This week on In Totality, I'm back with Jay, Jordan, and Nicole in my new home, reflecting on God's faithfulness through a long season of prayer, waiting, closed doors, and unexpected provision.For nearly two years, I prayed about where my boys and I should live, where they should attend school, and what God's next step was for our family. There were opportunities that fell through, moments when we came close, and times when I wondered whether I had discerned God's will correctly. But while it felt like nothing was happening, God was preparing details, and people I couldn't see.If you're waiting for God to move in a relationship, job opportunity, health situation, a relocation decision, or any other unanswered prayer, this episode is for you.My prayer is that this conversation encourages you to stay close to the Lord, remain faithful with what He has already placed in your hands, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it.God is always working!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Sometimes we have an idea without a vision, or a vision without the ideas to move it forward. Good ideas should turn into vision, good vision should produce ideas, and both should lead to strategy. Today, we're back in the archives for the final episode in this series on vision. Vision ownership starts with being saturated in the vision yourself so you can lead others toward it.

Integration causes all of our resources to cooperate, compensate, and complement one another. Today, we're pulling a series from the archives. Scripture describes the Church as a body with many parts. When those parts work together, there is health; when they don't, there is dis-ease. Vision integration is vital to bringing all the parts together to function as one.

This message explores Jesus' challenging teaching urging believers to love their enemies and pray for those who persecute them. Through Old Testament examples, personal stories, and biblical context, it highlights how this radical love transforms not only our relationships but primarily the condition of our hearts. The teaching emphasizes that forgiveness and love are intentional choices, not mere feelings, and that prayer plays a crucial role in breaking cycles of hatred and bitterness.Main Scripture:  Matthew 5:44-48Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

What happens when ministers are expected to offer grace but have no safe place to receive it themselves? This article explores why spiritual direction is not a luxury for pastors and ministry leaders, but a lifeline for sustaining holiness, humility, and soul health.

In this episode, Eric Geiger and I dig into what's growing underneath a leader's life. We've all watched leaders fall over the past few years, and the wreckage takes a long time to clear. Eric's conviction is that we keep working on the things we can see, when the real question is the root system beneath it. We read Nehemiah as a leadership journal, talk about vision as burden and belief intermingled, how credibility gets built when trust in leaders is at an all-time low, what's actually worth fighting, and why being overwhelmed might be something that grows you rather than takes you out.Eric Geiger serves as the senior pastor of Mariners Church in Southern California, where he lives with his wife, Kaye, and their two daughters, Eden and Evie. Eric received his doctorate in leadership and church ministry from Southern Seminary. Eric has led in both marketplace and ministry settings, as senior vice president and chief business officer of a publishing company, a consultant on vision and strategy, and a local church pastor.Eric's Book:The Rooted LeaderConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Hey Fam! In Totality is back this week and I'm here with the team for a conversation about forgiveness, anger, and the call of Romans 12: “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay.”Forgiveness sounds beautiful until the wound is fresh and the apology never comes. So, today, I open up about my struggle with wanting to defend myself, have the last word, or “get a lick back” when I feel wronged. We unpack what it looks like to trust God as our defender, lay the urge to retaliate on the altar, and surrender the outcome instead of waiting for God to “get them” on our behalf.We also talk through the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, why forgiveness doesn't mean ignoring abuse or automatically restoring access, and how hurt can turn into anger, defensiveness, or the urge to clap back. The team shares what it looks like to pause, pray, name the real wound, and invite the Holy Spirit into hard conversations.If you're struggling to forgive someone who hurt you, waiting for an apology you may never receive, wrestling with bitterness, or trying to handle conflict in a way that honors Christ, this episode is for you.My prayer is that this conversation helps you release the need for revenge, overcome evil with good, and trust God with the offense and the outcome. You can acknowledge what was wrong and still choose grace. Let God be your defender.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vision's measurement is your core value. Today, we're pulling a series from the archives. The clearer, more obvious, and easier your vision is to grasp, the better chance you have of seeing it come to pass. It's easier to increase vision as you go than to get down the road and realize you need to shrink it.

In “The Mystery of Leadership,” Caleb Cole teaches from 1 Timothy 3:8–16 about the character behind healthy leadership. From integrity and self control to earned trust, faithfulness at home, and serving others, Paul's instructions to Timothy challenge every follower of Jesus to become the same person in public and in private. Ultimately, healthy leadership matters because the church has been entrusted with carrying and representing the good news of Jesus.

Apostolic Mentoring Podcast with Charles G. RobinetteWhat is the greatest threat to end-time revival?It may not be persecution.It may not be compromise.It may not even be false doctrine.It may be the subtle elevation of our own kingdom above the Kingdom of God.In this challenging and prophetic episode of the Apostolic Mentoring Podcast, International Evangelist Charles G. Robinette exposes one of the greatest obstacles to apostolic revival and global harvest: self-centered ministry, organizational pride, territorial thinking, and personal agendas that compete with God's eternal purpose.Throughout Scripture, God has always called His people to seek His Kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). Yet too often believers become consumed with building personal platforms instead of advancing the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.This message will challenge pastors, leaders, ministers, and believers to embrace humility, unity, biblical partnership, and Kingdom-minded living in preparation for the greatest harvest the world has ever seen.Discover why:• God's Kingdom is bigger than our organization.• Revival accelerates when the Body of Christ works together.• Competition hinders harvest but cooperation multiplies souls.• Spectators never change the world, participants do.• Partnership of Faith is essential for end-time revival.• The greatest victories come when we lay down our agenda for God's agenda.If you have ever wrestled with church politics, division, comparison, competition, or the tension between personal vision and God's global mission, this episode will encourage, convict, and inspire you to pursue what matters most.The world does not need larger personal kingdoms.The world needs the Kingdom of God.This is a prophetic call to unity, humility, sacrifice, and complete surrender to God's eternal purpose.If this episode blesses you, please subscribe, leave a five-star review, and share it with pastors, leaders, ministry teams, and friends around the world as together we work toward the greatest end-time harvest in history.Equipping Millions 2 Reach Billions.We love to hear from our listeners!

Needs will always be part of leadership, but they shouldn't be in the driver's seat. Today, we're back in the archives with another episode from Getting Better. Too often, ministry teams spend 80% of their effort meeting immediate needs instead of moving the vision forward. But when leaders begin to shift that balance, they develop more leaders, advance the vision, and ultimately meet even more needs.

On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, talks with Southwestern Seminary president David Dockery about his new biography, Steadfast, and the leadership journey behind it. Together they unpack key ideas like ‘convictional civility' and ‘leadership symphony,' offering a rich model of character-driven Christian leadership for today's ministry leaders.

What makes a spiritual leader trustworthy? Through 1 Timothy 3:1 through 7, Chrissy Cole examines biblical leadership and the character God desires in those who lead.

Recorded on August 9, 2026, this episode of The Mountain Podcast features Samuel Goulet continuing the Culture series with a powerful message from Revelation on the churches of Ephesus and Thyatira. Samuel challenges listeners to let Jesus examine the “lampstand” of their lives—rekindling intimacy, restoring love, and refilling the oil of the Holy Spirit—while also learning how to walk in holiness by refusing to tolerate what God wants to remove. With practical insight, humor, and a strong call to spiritual renewal, this message invites every listener to welcome the fire and love of Jesus into their home, family, church, and personal life.

Most people think following Jesus is about getting to heaven.Jesus had something much bigger in mind.When Jesus called His first disciples, He didn't simply invite them into a relationship—He immediately gave them a mission:“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.”In this opening message of our “Wait…What?” series, we explore one of Jesus' most challenging truths:Rescued people were never meant to become spectators. They were meant to become rescuers.Main Scripture:  Matthew 4:18–22; Matthew 10:8; John 20:21Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts? Things Jesus Never Said 1: Is Loving Money Bad?Bondage Breaker 1: Tormented by your past?  ------------------------------------------ JOIN US!Visit us at www.FusionChurchNY.com for the most up-to-date in-person service times and events.Join a Small Group.------------------------------------------FOLLOW US!Make sure to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and Tiktok.

Send us Fan MailWhat does faith really look like when the church service is over? In Episode 3 of Gospel Unfiltered, host Cornell Bunting sits down with Overseer Jimmy Washington for an honest conversation about what it truly means to live the Gospel beyond Sunday morning. Together, they explore the importance of integrity, obedience, character, humility, service, and living consistently with the faith we profess. This episode challenges believers to examine whether their private lives reflect their public worship and whether their actions match the Word they hear. Using Scriptures such as James 1:22, Matthew 5:16, Luke 16:10, 1 John 3:18, and Galatians 5:22–23, the conversation focuses on becoming doers of the Word, allowing the fruit of the Spirit to show in everyday life, and understanding that real faith is demonstrated through the choices we make when no one is applauding. This is a conversation about authenticity, accountability, and putting faith into action. Sunday may reveal what we profess, but Monday through Saturday reveals what we practice. Join us as we go Beyond the Pulpit for honest conversations, real stories, and Kingdom truth. Gospel Unfiltered — new episodes every Friday.  Support the showThank you for tuning in with EHAS CLUB - Stories to Create Podcast

A quiet "integrity crisis" is unfolding in the lives of many Christian leaders and prophetic voices. We are living in an age where wealth is prioritized over wounded souls. Influence is measured by followers, numbers, platforms, and revenue streams rather than the heart of a leader who faithfully stewards God's flock. The Spirit of Mammon has crept into pulpits, churches, Christian leadership circles, social media platforms, and prophetic spaces. What once centered on shepherding souls has shifted toward building brands. What once demanded integrity is now too often replaced with image, strategy, and financial gain. This kind of leadership destroys God's people, erodes prophetic purity, incentivizes compromise, and tempts leaders to prioritize wealth over souls. A truthful question every leader must ask: Are you being led by God … or influenced by the enemy?   Blessings-  Melia's Services -> Faith-Based Services Melia's Books ->Best-Selling Books Hire Melia for Event -> Melia's Media Kit Melia's Courses -> Vertical Relationship Academy    

This week, Jordan, Jay, and Nic join in for a conversation about spiritual warfare, repentance, and what it means to put on the full armor of God every day.After reflecting on the battles the Lord has carried us through, I realized that endurance is not passive. Sometimes we become so weary in our faithfulness that we stop fighting. Other times, we become so confident about the battles we've already survived that we stop guarding ourselves. Both can leave us spiritually vulnerable.We unpack 2 Samuel 11 and the moment David remained in Jerusalem when kings were expected to go to war. What began with being somewhere he was not supposed to be led to lust, sexual sin, deception, murder, and months of unrepentance. David's story reminds us why we must remain engaged in the fight, confess quickly, and never assume that past victories make us immune to temptation.If you're experiencing spiritual warfare, faithful fatigue, inconsistency, shame over sin, or weariness from fighting one battle after another, I pray this conversation encourages you. Seriousness does not mean joylessness, and devotion does not mean perfection. When you don't feel strong enough to fight, be honest with the Lord and ask Him to help you want what He wants.Keep fighting. Look to Jesus, hold tightly to His promises, and remember that you do not have to fight in your own strength.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey Guys! After a little break last week, I'm back with the team for a conversation about building endurance in the Christian faith through daily obedience, patience, and spiritual growth.Sanctification is a process, and so is building endurance. Using a lesson I learned from “ego lifting” in Pilates, we talk about why God may be more interested in our faithful reps than the amount of weight we're trying to carry. So many of us want the big moment, the visible calling, or the impressive testimony, but God often develops our character through the quiet monents each day.We talk about walking in step with the Holy Spirit without trying to rush ahead, remaining faithful when our growth feels invisible, and trusting that God is establishing roots beneath the surface.Through the lives of Abraham, Moses, and David, we're reminded that their public moments of faith were preceded by years of private preparation and obedience.If you're a new believer, discouraged by your pace, comparing your calling to someone else's, or wondering whether you're truly growing, I pray this episode encourages you. Baby steps are still steps. You don't have to reach the finish line first; you just have to keep going, looking to Jesus as the founder and perfecter of your faith.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
