Some days the weight of the world feels unbearable. In our daily prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that news headlines, personal stories, or even a single conversation can open our eyes to suffering so deep that it feels paralyzing. For Sophia Bricker, reading a student’s research paper on women in refugee camps brought her face-to-face with heartbreaking realities—women fleeing violence, grieving losses, and enduring ongoing trauma. She sat stunned, wondering how the world could stay so still when so much was broken. Scripture reminds us that believers have felt this kind of anguish before. Jeremiah—the “weeping prophet”—saw devastation firsthand as Jerusalem fell in ruins. Lamentations is filled with his raw grief, yet even in the midst of sorrow, he anchored his soul in hope. He remembered God’s steadfast love and compassion, the only reason His people were not consumed. That same hope is ours today. While the suffering around us may feel overwhelming, God sees it all. He grieves with us. And He has already provided the ultimate answer to the world’s pain—Jesus Christ, who conquered sin and death, and who will one day wipe away every tear. Even when we don’t know how to help or what to do, we can pray. We can lament. And we can ask God to show us where He is already at work so we can participate in bringing His love, justice, and compassion into dark places. Today's Bible Reading:“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail” (Lamentations 3:22, NIV). Takeaway Truths God sees every injustice and every sorrow—nothing is hidden from Him. Lament is a biblical response to suffering and a pathway to deeper hope. Christ’s victory assures us that suffering will not have the final word. Let’s Pray Great God of all, You see all the brokenness in the world and know better than I do the evil that exists in the hearts of humankind. At times, I am overwhelmed by the stories of suffering I encounter. There is so much sorrow—people who go hungry, children without parents, families torn apart by war and violence, individuals struggling in poverty and slavery, and beloved daughters that You created who are exploited and assaulted. My heart breaks as I think of their lives and the hopelessness that marks their days. Lord, I know Your heart breaks for them too, and so I am asking You to be with them. Show them Your love and grace, providing comfort in their suffering. Please also guide me on how I can help, even in my small, limited role in the world. May I be a part of the work You are already doing to bring good news to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In an era where Google searches are declining and people are increasingly turning to AI for life's biggest questions—including matters of faith—two Nashville pastors are refusing to let secular ideology win by default. Erik Reid and Ryan "Coat" Coatney join the podcast to discuss why they've invested in building Dominion AI, a Christian worldview-informed alternative to mainstream AI tools, and why Christians can't afford to sit this revolution out. The conversation tackles the real tension many believers face: AI is becoming the most influential voice in every person's life, yet most Christians are either completely unaware of its impact or tempted to reject it entirely. Erik and Coat dive deep into how AI is already shaping the way people think about truth, morality, and meaning—often without anyone realizing the secular assumptions baked into every response. They address pressing questions from the Christian community with refreshing honesty: Can AI replace pastors and artists? How can church leaders use these tools responsibly without compromising their calling? What about the danger of isolation as people build "personal cathedrals" with AI instead of engaging in real community? And yes, they even tackle whether AI could be connected to the mark of the beast. Whether you're a parent worried about your kids growing up in an AI-saturated world, a pastor trying to navigate these tools faithfully, or simply someone who wants to understand what's really at stake when we let machines answer our biggest questions, this episode challenges you to think critically about the worldview behind the technology we're all about to depend on.

What if the one thing missing isn't another strategy but the power to live it? Amy sits with international evangelist Charles Robinet for a raw, joy-filled conversation about surrender, the Holy Spirit, and what happens when ordinary people say yes. Charles shares how, at fourteen, a minister counted down from ten and heaven interrupted—launching a journey that would take him from Chicago streets to nearly a hundred nations. No degrees, no pedigree, just obedience and a growing conviction: the arm of the flesh can't accomplish what only the Spirit can.We unpack how Jesus' command to wait for power still reshapes ministry today, and why so many leaders feel stuck when they substitute polish for presence. Amy tells the moving story of her son hearing the Spirit “in his stomach,” echoing the promise of rivers of living water. Charles points to Joel 2 as a lens for our moment: sons and daughters prophesy, dreams and visions abound, and the outpouring spills across denominations and borders. From Catholics to Baptists, Muslims to atheists, the Holy Ghost is filling hungry hearts. The kingdom is breaching our constructs.The episode crescendos with vivid testimonies from Brazil: a historic day of Pentecost with 3,000 receiving the Holy Ghost, followed by a stadium where 12,000 were filled in one service and 3,000 more watching on TV. A hesitant young woman named Amanda was equipped to speak the word of faith and watched a rushing wind moment sweep the arena. Even a coven leader who came to curse the meeting was filled and baptized in Jesus' name on live TV, rising from the water free and radiant. The throughline is mentoring and multiplication—raising voices, releasing gifts, and letting God turn addition into exponential harvest.Hungry to be filled or feeling called but unqualified? Start with repentance, open your hands, and ask. The Spirit gives revelation, opens doors no man can shut, and turns ordinary yeses into global impact.

After another day of trying to meet deadlines and working on projects, you're again dissatisfied with how much you did or how well you did it. Then you go home, grab a bite to eat, and then go to your kid's concert or sporting event. When you come back home, you see that big house chore that has been waiting for weeks. You sigh and drop into bed thinking, “What's wrong with me? Why can't I get more done?” We are constantly colliding with our limitations.And we think that it is because we are fallen, sinful people. But what if? What if our limitations are a gift from God, that this is part of the very good part of being a created being? What if we are not supposed to carry the burden of trying to be something we are not and cannot be?Our guest on this episode is theologian Dr. Kelly M. Kapic. He's written a book that addresses this guilt we all experience when we feel that we should always be doing one more thing. Its title is You're Only Human: How Your Limits Reflect God's Design and Why that's Good News (Brazos, 2022).

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (11/04/25), Hank answers the following questions:Is the Christian life not living a life like Christ, but rather Christ living through us? Bob - MO (0:44)Is it correct to say that we no longer need to ask for forgiveness? Andrew - Langley, BC (3:09)I know the Bible says we are to give, but are we still supposed to tithe, and is this God's Law?

Faith isn't about managing behavior—it's about submitting your whole life to a sovereign God. The book of James confronts pride, judgment, and the illusion of control, reminding us that mature faith doesn't trust in outcomes but in who God is. In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Blake Zimmerman unpack the end of James 4 and the beginning of James 5, exploring how our plans, words, and money reveal what our lives truly orbit around. In a culture driven by impulse and self-interest, James calls us to live differently—to see everything we have as His, to give freely, and to center our lives around the One who holds it all. – Show Notes: Listen to the messages: Seeing Life Through God's Perspective Keeping God at the Center of Your Life Vs Yourself The Rocky Relationship Between You, The Lord, & The World In this episode, they reference the book The Gospel Way Catechism by Trevin Wax and Thomas West – Next Steps Looking to take a next step?

In this week's episode of the For the Gospel Podcast, Costi Hinn wraps up his series on heaven and the afterlife by answering your most-asked questions about eternity. From time and memory in heaven to justice, pets, and eternal joy, he unpacks what the Bible actually reveals about life after death—and how it gives believers hope today.Main topics discussed: Do people in heaven know what happens on earth? Remembering the past without pain Should Christians be organ donors? Will there be pets in heaven? Recognizing loved ones in eternity
What if the only thing between your calling and your reality is the noise you refuse to silence? We open with a story of contagious faith that ignites a church, then zoom out to a global urgency: the harvest is ready, the signs are plain, and “no more time” is not a slogan—it's a summons. Our goal isn't to spike emotion and move on; it's to keep victory by building a life of consecration that can carry the weight of mission when the music stops.We name the real enemy of momentum: carnality. Not a harmless pastime, but a hostile force that wages war on focus, authority, and clarity. Through Romans 13 and 8, 1 John 2, and the wisdom of Psalm 1, we draw a straight line from distraction to depletion—and from delighting in the Word to durable strength. We revisit the cautionary arcs of Eve, Samson, and David to show how one moment of appetite can unravel years of anointing, and we offer a better way: come out and be separate, not out of fear, but to make room for the breath of God that renews, directs, and empowers.Holiness here isn't a checklist. It's belonging. It's the decision to set your mind, eyes, ears, and habits apart for God's use, trusting that consecration precedes commission. We get practical too: cancel what drains your spirit, clean the media library, shut the door on what dulls conviction, and replace endless scrolling with prayer that sharpens your hearing. The promise is a beautiful cycle—God's breath leads to consecration, and consecration leads you back to his breath—so your soul stays steady and your mission stays clear.If your heart is burning for more than moments—if you want a life that God can trust with revival—this conversation is your turning point.

Don't go back to the old ways
It’s easy to express gratitude when life feels full and blessings are obvious. But what about when our kindness is rejected or our good intentions are met with anger? In today’s prayer and devotion, Rachael Adams, host of The Love Offering, reminds us that gratitude is not dependent on others’ responses — it’s rooted in our relationship with God. After an act of compassion was met with hostility, Rachael wrestled with disappointment and confusion. Yet this moment mirrors a deeper truth seen in the story of Jesus healing the ten lepers (Luke 17:11–19). Only one returned to thank Him — and though all received healing, only the grateful one experienced the fullness of spiritual restoration. God invites us to live with hearts of thankfulness, not for what we receive in return from others, but because of who He is and all He has done for us. Gratitude aligns our hearts with God’s goodness, reminding us that every act of kindness is ultimately an act of worship. Today's Bible Reading:“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” – Colossians 3:16–17

We've all heard the phrase, “the devil is in the details.” But what if that's not true?

In this message, we look at the story of Saul—the man who looked like everything Israel wanted in a king. He was tall, strong, impressive, and came from a wealthy family. But beneath the surface, his heart was already being eaten away by hidden flaws—spiritual neglect, insecurity, pride, and disobedience. Through Saul's story in 1 Samuel 9, we learn a sobering truth: it's not the big failures that destroy us, but the small compromises we ignore. Like termites behind a wall, little sins—small lies, pride, laziness, selfishness—slowly hollow out our spiritual foundation until everything collapses. This lesson challenges us to “sweat the small stuff”—to pay attention to the subtle warnings, the quiet compromises, the habits and attitudes that weaken our walk with God. It's a call to humility, repentance, and spiritual awareness before it's too late. God doesn't want us standing in the ruins of what could have been. He wants to rebuild us from the inside out. When we face our hidden sins and let Him restore us, what once was rotting can become new again.

Do you ever want to do the right thing but then end up doing the wrong thing? Following Jesus is a life of wanting to do what God wants only to realize, "I can't believe I sinned again!" Why do we do that? I believe in Jesus as my Savior, why do I keep sinning? Martin Luther called this living life as a Sinner and Saint at the same time. Today we are taking a close look at what it's like living the Christian Life, and thank God, He forgives us because of Jesus.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, October 26, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:17-32 How does change happen in the Christian Life? Paul in Ephesians 4 says it involves a putting off and a putting on.

Sometimes life trips us up unexpectedly—small missteps, hidden slopes, or blind spots we didn't see. In our daily prayer and devotional, Sophia Bricker uses the metaphor of stumbling at the zoo to illustrate how sin and error can catch us off guard, impacting our steps long after the fall. The good news is that we don’t have to stay down. God offers grace to the fallen. When we confess our sins—not hiding them or excusing them—Scripture promises that God is faithful to forgive and purify us (Psalm 51:4; Psalm 32:5; Proverbs 28:13). Rather than despairing over past failures, we can lift our hands, repent, and allow Jesus to stand us up, clean off our wounds, and guide our next steps. God is the Helper of the brokenhearted. The One who lifts those bent under burdens (Psalm 145:14) is the same One who receives our confessions and restores us. In His mercy, we can walk in freedom, not haunted by what we once did, but empowered by who we are in Christ. Today's Bible Reading: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”— 1 John 1:9 (NIV) Key Takeaways Falling into sin doesn’t disqualify us from God’s forgiveness. Confession is the pathway back to cleansing and restoration. God’s grace is more powerful than our failures. He doesn’t just pick us up—He purifies and strengthens us for the journey ahead. Let’s Pray Together Lord, I confess my sins before You. I have stumbled and failed You, but I thank You that You are faithful to forgive. Wash me, purify me, and lift me up by Your grace. Help me walk forward in the strength and forgiveness You freely give. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
