In this episode of What's the World Coming To, Ken Ortize sits down with Dr. Drew Dickens, a theological anthropologist whose work explores the intersection of faith, technology, and spiritual formation.As artificial intelligence becomes woven into everyday life, Christians are facing new tensions around authority, discernment, and spiritual practice. Rather than reacting in fear or uncritical enthusiasm, this conversation moves into deeper theological territory, examining embodiment, silence, prayer, and the loss of friction in modern spiritual life.Ken and Drew discuss AI's growing presence in Christian spaces, the dangers of artificial intimacy, and the ways technology can subtly reshape how we listen, reflect, and relate to God and one another. The discussion highlights why mystery, struggle, community, and stillness remain essential to an authentic and grounded faith.This episode offers a thoughtful, grounded exploration for anyone navigating faith in an increasingly automated world.www.wtwcomingto.com

How do we heal, grow, and change as apprentices of Jesus?

Thankfully the vision Jesus casts for transformation shows us a different path forward.Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi share how Dallas Willard's mantra, “Don't try — train,” revolutionized their approach to spiritual formation. You'll burn with a desire to become more loving and healthy and get equipped with a practical tool to help you grow in Christlikeness one area at a time.If you want to go deeper into the insights we gained from Dallas Willard, we invite you to join us on a retreat or train to become a spiritual director with Soul Shepherding.

In this episode of the Christian Life and Leadership Podcast, Tim Price discusses the detrimental effects of hurry on spiritual life and emotional health, drawing insights from John Mark Comer's book, 'The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry.' He emphasizes the need to slow down, eliminate distractions, and cultivate deeper relationships with God and others. Tim shares practical strategies for reducing hurry, such as changing screen habits and embracing Sabbath rest. He also highlights the importance of attention in spiritual growth and devotion. READ THE POSTQuotes: Hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life.Life isn't easy, but His yoke is.Hurry and spiritual depth don't coexist.Hurry and love are incompatible.We must learn to slow down.Eliminate distractions to find peace.Attention is the beginning of devotion.Hurry is not just a disordered schedule.It doesn't all depend on you.Allow God's work and word to dwell in you richly.#spirituallife, #hurry, #emotionalhealth, #JohnMarkComer, #slowingdown, #attention, #devotion, #Christianleadership, #personalgrowth

Wealth and work don't have to compete with your faith—they're meant to be shaped by it. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks how money, ambition, and calling fit under Christ's authority.

What if the difference between stagnation and a move of God is the courage to collaborate without compromise? We open with a powerful testimony from Iowa—prayer around a 4,000-seat stadium, visions of citywide revival, and a fresh call to seize this kingdom moment. From there, Pastor Turnbow joins us to share the kind of hard-won wisdom that only church planters know: work faithfully, pray fervently, and remember that God—not hustle—produces the increase.We get practical about unityWe love to hear from our listeners!

Many translations render Rom. 8:28 as, "all things work together for good." The NLT renders the same words as, "God causes everything to work together," a construal that is represented in some ancient Greek manuscripts. Yet another possibility would be, "the Spirit works all things together." What explains these differences? A past contributor to this podcast, Joseph Dodson is the Dr. Craig L. Blomberg Chair of New Testament at Denver Seminary. In addition to other publications, he has written Paul the Rabbi Philosopher: Stoic and Jewish Philosophy in the Apostle's Thought, and (with Mattie Mae Motl) Conquerors Not Captives: Reframing Romans 7 for the Christian Life. He is working on commentaries on Romans (Brill) and Colossians-Philemon (Holman).

The Obedience Code-Cracking the Christian Life // True Repentance (pt.4) | Kevin Tiller

We continued exploring what the Christian life truly looks like, pressing deeper into how it is lived and sustained in Christ.The Christian life is warfare. As soldiers, believers live with a different posture, running to win and giving themselves fully to God's cause under His authority.Life in Christ flows by faith in the Son of God, empowered by the Spirit. The same power that regenerates also sanctifies, freeing us from sin and forming true freedom through grace.

Matt Smethurst says the aim of his book, Tim Keller on the Christian Life is to synthesize and distill Tim Keller's best teaching on the Christian life. We believe he succeeded at that task, and we're not alone. World magazine selected it as its 2025 Book of the Year, stating, “This well-written book will convict but also encourage Christians who read it, helping them as they pray, pursue friendships, go to work, consider how to help their poor neighbors, and endure suffering themselves.” Pastor Smethurst joined Dr. Keith Plummer to talk about why he wanted to write the book and some of the recurring themes of Tim Keller's thinking, writing, and preaching about following Jesus.

This week, we continue our series on spiritual disciplines. The content for this series is based on Donald Whitney's book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life.Today, we will address the disciplines of learning and perseverance.

Scripture is clear that bad company corrupts good morals, and that truth still applies today. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks how biblical wisdom helps identify relationships that strengthen faith versus those that weaken it.

Not just one day, but today. We are seated with Him in a place of protection, help, and assurance. He is with us always, even right now, and with Him comes omnipotence and glory. We are saved, secured, and safe.It is only from this seat that we can truly walk. And I don't mean just get up and start walking. I mean that what is true spiritually remains true: you are seated with Christ, even as you walk. The walk reflects the relationship. It is not an effort to validate what Christ did or to pay Him back. It is not a debt owed. It is a life of hope in Him.The devil will attack. He will try to ruin our confidence. But he is a loser. He has lost. We are on Mount Zion; he is in the valley of despair. We have the high ground in Jesus Christ, and the power of Christ to hold that ground.Sequence is crucial. You cannot stand if you are not seated, nor walk. Begin with Christ, pray about what is true, find joy in who you are in Him and who He is for you. And walk with life and stand with strength—His strength. 

What if the very habits that look holy are the fig leaves keeping you from God? We open with raw praise and a candid update from a delayed crusade team, then get straight to the question that won't let us go: are we practicing religion to be seen, or relationship to be known? With Scripture as our compass—James 1:27, Genesis 3, Matthew 7, and John 15—we trace how good works become camouflage when intimacy fades, and how abiding turns duty into delight.Our guest walks us through the Garden, where shame stitched the first aprons, and shows how we still tailor modern versions: attendance as armor, tithing as identity, titles as cover. We confront the shock of Matthew 7—prophecy, deliverance, and mighty works without being known by Jesus—and name the heart issue as iniquity: self‑will wrapped in religious language. The conversation doesn't stop at warning. We rebuild on John 15, where fruit flows from union, not hustle, and where prayer becomes the source of life rather than a line item on a list.We pray fiercely for God to break the neck of religious mentality, to ignite hunger that outlasts pressure, and to pull us back from chasing anointing like a product. The takeaway is practical and freeing: abide first, obey from love, and let ministry be the overflow. If you've been exhausted by spiritual performance or tempted to measure health by results, this is a reset rooted in presence. Share it with a friend who needs courage to return to simple devotion.If this spoke to you, subscribe, leave a review, and pass it on to someone who's ready to trade fig leaves for a real walk with God.

Exposition of 1 John 2:28-3:10

Ever faced a moment when you knew the right thing to do, but also knew it would cost you something? This message explores that tension through the story of Nehemiah, a man whose life was comfortable, influential, and secure until he heard a report that broke his heart. From a place of distance and safety, Nehemiah chose to say yes to God's call to step into brokenness he did not create, taking responsibility rather than deflecting it. His yes pulled him out of comfort and into a story much larger than himself. As the story unfolds, we see how Nehemiah's obedience cost him his comfort, his career, and his sense of control. He leaves the security of the Persian palace, risks his position with the king, and steps into uncertainty without guarantees of success. Like Dietrich Bonhoeffer decades later, Nehemiah models a faith that refuses to stay safe when faithfulness requires courage. This is not reckless obedience, but prayer-soaked trust that chooses faithfulness over self-preservation. For most of us, a costly yes won't involve rebuilding a city wall or confronting an empire. It will show up in ordinary places: relationships, work decisions, acts of service, or steps of faith we've been delaying. This message invites us to pray long enough to gain clarity, then place the outcome in God's hands. Because clarity doesn't always come all at once, and certainty rarely comes before obedience. Sometimes your yes is costly. Say yes anyway—because every costly yes we give flows from the costly yes Jesus already gave.

We continued the This Christian Life series with a clear picture of what faith looks like for the believer. Good is defined by what God says, and faith shows not only in what is gained but in what one is willing to lose for Him. A man of faith remains unshaken, with convictions and confessions that do not change with circumstances.The Christian life is a race to be run lawfully, with eyes fixed on Jesus and obedience to God's terms. In running this race, we fight—a good and worthy fight—fought from a place of victory in Christ.Listen to this sermon and be blessed.

In this episode, I sit down with Winfield Bevins to talk about beauty and why it matters for everyday life, the church, and spiritual formation. We discuss his book How Beauty Will Save the World and how beauty shapes attention, formation, and the way we live, work, and follow Jesus. Winfield shares his own story, including seasons of burnout and vocational transition, and how art and creativity became central to his faith and calling. We talk about creativity beyond the arts, the pace of modern life, and how beauty helps form us spiritually, reorient our desires, and shape communities of faith. This is a grounded conversation about renewal, formation, and learning to see the world with care and hope.Winfield Bevins is an internationally recognized author, artist, and the founding director of Creo Arts, which is a non-profit that exists to bring beauty, goodness, and truth to the world through the arts. Winfield is also artist-in-residence at Asbury Theological Seminary where he champions the integration of art, theology, and mission. Over the past decade, he has helped start numerous initiatives and academic programs that have trained leaders from around the world. He is the author of several books, including, How Beauty Will Save the World: Recovering the Power of the Arts for the Christian Life.Winfield's Book:How Beauty Will Save the WorldWinfield's Recommendation:Surprised by JoyConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

In this episode, we define discipline biblically and practically. Christian discipline is not about perfectionism or self-improvement. It is about ordered obedience, self-control, and steady faithfulness over time.We outline the core spiritual disciplines taught in Scripture: prayer and Bible reading, meditation and memorization, corporate, family, and personal worship, fasting, stewardship, evangelism, service, silence, solitude, learning, and journaling. We also address why these practices matter, how they shape Christian maturity, and how they are meant to function in daily life and in the home.We then apply these principles to personal disciplines like physical health. We discuss how to set clear goals, understand your motivation, work within your personality and season, and monitor progress without adopting an all-or-nothing mentality.This episode is a practical framework for Christians who want structure, clarity, and consistency without confusing discipline with legalism or growth with perfection.Listen to our previous podcast series on The Spiritual Disciplines >> https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/growing-in-the-spiritual-disciplines-a-podcast-series/Books Mentioned In This Episode:60 Scriptures You Can PraySpiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life by Donald S.

Spiritual drift doesn't usually happen overnight, and neither does Christlikeness. In this episode, Costi Hinn unpacks how daily habits—both seen and unseen—shape the direction of your life and the health of your soul.

Start the year with a posture that changes everything: honor over envy, unity over rivalry, maturity over the urge to be first. We begin with worship, celebrate the release of Smooth Sailing—a transparent, scripture-rich guide to marriages and relationships—and then share a prophetic word for 2026 focused on restoration. Not reinvention, but a return to God's order where torn places are mended, alignment is restored, and people can carry His presence without tearing under the weight.We unpack how carnality hides in plain sight: not in a lack of charisma, but in how we treat each other. Honor becomes the antidote to envy. Strife opens the door to confusion. Division thrives on secret loyalties and sides. Through the patterns of David honoring Saul and Abraham choosing peace with Lot, we map a better way: completion, not competition. If grace is received, there's no room to boast or belittle—only room to celebrate what God does through others without shrinking ourselves.Here's the challenge and the promise: unity hosts outpouring. Harvest, miracles, signs, and wonders flow where honor guards the house. Stop chasing revival while tolerating rivalry; chase unity and watch God open doors no one can shut. We offer practical steps to end cycles of gossip, suspicion, and scorekeeping, and we pray together for the restoration of honor, peace, and respect across families, ministries, and teams.Listen, share with a friend who needs fresh vision for marriage or ministry, and tell us the one relationship where you'll choose unity this week. If this serves you, subscribe, leave a review, and spread the word so more hearts can move from competition to completion.We love to hear from our listeners!

In this week's episode, we're talking about the importance of having a God-given vision, not just for families, but for individual believers as well. Vision isn't optional in the Kingdom; it's essential. We explore what Scripture says about vision and how it shapes our personal walk with Christ, strengthens Christian families, and brings clarity and direction in a world full of distractions. Whether you're single, married, parenting, or preparing for the future, this conversation will encourage you to seek God intentionally, align your life and household with His will, and build a legacy of faith that impacts generations.

The Christian life is centered on beholding the beauty of the Lord, just as David desired above all else (Psalm 27:4). The Holy Spirit continually works in believers to reveal the beauty of Christ, a lifelong process called sanctification. Right living flows from right identity; understanding who we are ontologically, saints dead to sin and alive in God, enables us to address sinful behavior properly and apply loving correction when needed. We must understand that the beauty and order we perceive in creation point to an intelligent and supremely beautiful Designer.Our prayer for you is that as you listen to this sermon, you see Jesus for the beauty that He is.

In this episode of the Christian Life and Leadership Podcast, Tim Price discusses the significance of the phrase 'always remember' as it relates to everyday faith. He emphasizes the importance of remembering Jesus Christ, particularly His resurrection, as a central tenet of Christian belief. -- Remembering Jesus is central to our faith.-- Active input is required to remember effectively.-- Grace is free and undeserved, given by God.-- Jesus' resurrection is a foundational piece of our faith.-- Daily life should reflect our remembrance of Christ.-- We can trust that God is at work in our lives.-- Remembering requires intentionality and reminders.-- Our ambition should be tempered by our faith.-- Engagement in ministry is a part of remembering Jesus.#Christian Life, #Leadership, #Remembering Jesus, #Faith, #Resurrection, #Podcast, #Spiritual Growth, #Ministry, #Devotion, #Churchharvestministryteams.comtimpriceblog.com

In this week's episode, Costi Hinn challenges the idea that busyness equals faithfulness. As the year begins, he walks through biblical priorities that anchor believers in Christ and guard against slow, unnoticed spiritual drift.

Winfield Bevins is an author, a visual artist, and the founding director of Creo Arts, a non-profit that exists to bring beauty, goodness, and truth to the world through the arts. His new book is How Beauty Will Save the World: Recovering the Power of the Arts for the Christian Life. In this episode, Winfield and Jonathan Rogers talk about how beauty will save the world. They also talk about a modern Renaissance of the arts, moving from beauty to truth, and making space for Sabbath rest.Support the show: https://therabbitroom.givingfuel.com/memberSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if the future of the church isn't about bigger stages but deeper closeness to Jesus? We dive into a fierce, hope-filled vision: stadiums filled across nations in a single day and a global harvest counted in billions. But the path there isn't paved with polished speeches or perfect programs—it's built on proximity over performance, love over obligation, and relationships over transactions.We open scripture to 1 Corinthians 2 and ask hard questions about modern church habits. Are we negotiating with God or listening for His voice? Are we creating customers or forming disciples? You'll hear why transactions gather crowds but relationships build the church, how love naturally births obedience, and why a daily walk with Jesus is the true source of power, authority, and clarity. From Mexico to Japan, from Australia to Venezuela, the invitation is the same: stop spectating and step into a life where miracles become normal, revival becomes relentless, and harvest becomes inevitable.Unity sits at the center of this move. A pure relationship with Jesus must overflow into a pure relationship with His people, turning isolated zeal into a shared fire that lights cities and fills stadiums. We talk practical steps—walking in the Spirit all day, seeking first the Kingdom, letting intimacy fuel action—and we carry a prophetic charge to stop negotiating and start knowing what God is saying. If your heart longs for more than moments, if you want movement and momentum that never stop, this conversation will stir you to pray, love, and act with holy courage.If this resonates, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you don't miss what's next.
