Episode Summary: The inner critic can be a constant and discouraging presence, stealing our joy and hindering us from walking in the confidence God intends for us. It often disguises itself as self-improvement or humility, but in reality, it holds us back from embracing our identity in Christ. In today’s episode, we’ll uncover the sources of this voice, explore how Scripture equips us to combat it, and learn practical, biblically-based strategies to replace self-condemnation with God’s truth. Quotables from the episode: The inner critic is that internal voice that condemns, shames, or reminds us of our shortcomings. It whispers lies like, “You’re not good enough,” “You’ll never succeed,” or “Who do you think you are?” Often, this voice feels louder in moments of vulnerability, failure, or self-doubt. Scripture reminds us that Satan is the accuser of the brethren (Revelation 12:10). His goal is to steal, kill, and destroy our confidence and joy (John 10:10). He plants seeds of doubt and discouragement, hoping we’ll lose sight of God’s truth about our identity. The enemy’s accusations often feel like they’re coming from within, making it harder to recognize their origin. Our sinful nature and brokenness often give rise to self-condemnation. Past experiences, such as critical words from others, failures, or unmet expectations, can leave scars that fuel the inner critic. We may strive for perfection, believing the lie that we’re only worthy if we meet certain standards. This striving often leads to exhaustion and deeper feelings of inadequacy. The world bombards us with messages that we must perform, achieve, or conform to be loved or valuable. Social media, advertisements, and cultural expectations paint a picture of perfection that is impossible to attain. When we fall short, the inner critic seizes the opportunity to amplify our insecurities and remind us of our perceived failures. For some, the inner critic’s voice mimics the critical or harsh words spoken by authority figures in their lives, such as parents, teachers, or peers. Over time, these external voices become internalized, shaping how we see ourselves and respond to challenges. Even well-meaning criticism can leave an imprint if it’s not tempered with grace and encouragement. The inner critic is not God’s voice. In fact, His voice always aligns with truth, hope, and encouragement. It’s important to identify and challenge thoughts that contradict God’s truth. Taking every thought captive means actively rejecting lies and replacing them with God’s promises. God’s voice always aligns with His character—He speaks love, encouragement, and restoration. While the inner critic seeks to tear us down, God’s Word builds us up and reminds us of our identity in Christ. By meditating on Scripture, we can discern the difference between the voice of the inner critic and the voice of our loving Father. His truth gives us the strength to silence the lies and walk confidently in His grace. God’s voice brings peace, conviction (not condemnation), and hope. He calls us to see ourselves as He does—fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). Become aware of when the inner critic is speaking. Pause and ask, “Is this thought true, or is it a lie?” If it doesn’t align with Scripture, it’s not from God. Journaling your thoughts can help you identify patterns of self-criticism and pinpoint recurring lies that need to be addressed. Counter every negative thought with God’s Word. For example, if the thought says, “I’m a failure,” remind yourself of Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Create a list of Bible verses that speak to your identity in Christ, and keep them handy for moments of doubt. A grateful heart leaves little room for self-criticism. Start each day by thanking God for His blessings and affirming the ways He’s working in your life. When you focus on God’s goodness, it shifts your perspective and quiets the critical voice. Surround yourself with people who speak life and encouragement. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Healthy, godly relationships provide support, accountability, and reminders of your worth in Christ. Be intentional about building connections with those who uplift you. Ask God to help you distinguish His voice from the lies of the enemy. James 1:5 assures us that He gives wisdom generously to those who ask. Pray for clarity and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your thoughts and words. Instead of agreeing with the critic, declare the truth of who you are in Christ. Say things like, “I am chosen,” “I am loved,” and “I am forgiven.” Speaking these affirmations aloud helps to reinforce them in your mind and heart. Whether it’s critical people, social media, or unhelpful comparisons, protect your mind by setting healthy boundaries. Consider a social media detox or limiting time spent with individuals who are overly critical or draining. Silencing your inner critic is not a one-time fix; it’s a daily practice of renewing your mind and grounding yourself in God’s truth. Remember, the voice of the inner critic is a liar. God’s voice is the only one that matters, and His voice speaks love, grace, and purpose over you. Scripture References: Romans 8:1, which declares, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” James 3:9-10 “With the tongue, we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness... My brothers and sisters, this should not be.” Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” Psalm 139:14 “I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Recommended Resources: Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Apologetics in the Orthodox Church has undergone a remarkable transformation. What was once "the world's best kept secret" now flourishes in digital spaces, revealing both opportunities and challenges for those communicating the ancient faith.• Proper catechesis is crucial to maintaining authentic Orthodoxy with an American flavor rather than evangelical American Orthodoxy • Online Orthodox presence is substantial, often giving the impression it's larger than it actually is • Most Orthodox online voices are deeply committed to church life rather than being "terminally online" critics • Young men attending Saturday vespers and other services show the appeal of traditional worship • Orthodox churches are becoming more accessible across America, though some inquirers still live hours from parishes • Different apologetic approaches reach different people, and we should assume the best in those defending the faith • Resources like Father Paul Truebenbach's YouTube series and Patristic Nectar offer excellent catechesis • All Orthodox Christians are perpetual catechumens, constantly learning from the Church's 2,000-year tradition  Join Ben “Orthodox Luigi” and Jeremy Jeremiah (of Cloud of Witnesses Radio) as we dive into the beautiful diversity of Orthodox apologetic approaches. Some people respond to straightforward, firm communication while others need gentleness and compassion. These differences aren't accidental but providential – God works through varied voices to reach people exactly where they are. Yet this diversity raises important questions about maintaining authentic Orthodox identity while speaking to American audiences.  The conversation addresses common criticisms of online Orthodox presence. Far from being "terminally online," many digital apologists demonstrate deep commitment to liturgical life. Young men choosing vespers over Saturday night entertainment exemplifies this dedication. For those without nearby parishes, these online connections provide essential lifelines to the faith.  Orthodox apologetics requires both grace and proper catechesis. Those defending the faith make themselves vulnerable to criticism simply by speaking up. Meanwhile, excellent resources like Father Paul Truebenbach's YouTube series and Patristic Nectar's materials complement parish-based instruction. Whether recently illumined or long-standing members, we remain perpetual learners in the Church's 2,000-year tradition.  Have you encountered Orthodox Christianity online?

When Guilt Creeps in After You Say No Let's talk about that moment — you set a boundary, say no, or finally stop overexplaining… and then guilt comes rushing in. Maybe you start questioning yourself. Was I too harsh? Was that unkind? Should I reach back out? If you've ever felt that quiet ache after honoring your own limits, this episode is for you. Cami shares what it looks like to walk in biblical discernment without defaulting to people-pleasing, how Jesus modeled boundaries, and why protecting your peace doesn't make you unloving — it makes you wise. This is your reminder that boundaries are not rejection. They're not cruelty. And they don't need an apology. In This Episode: What it feels like to set a boundary and instantly feel guilty Why many women confuse gentleness with being available all the time Jesus' example of boundaries and pulling away to be with the Father The emotional toll of over-functioning in relationships A biblical reminder that wisdom often means saying no Scripture Referenced: Luke 5:16 (NASB) — Jesus often withdrew to pray Proverbs 25:28 (NASB) — Without boundaries, you're vulnerable Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB) — The fruit of the Spirit includes self-control This Episode Is for You If: You've been called “too much” for creating distance You're exhausted from always being emotionally available You love people deeply but need room to breathe You've felt guilt after honoring your God-led discernment Subscribe to Seen and Heard for real talk, biblical encouragement, and honest conversations about being fully known by God.

The bowl of soup that cost Esau his destiny stands as one of scripture's most profound warnings about momentary decisions with eternal consequences. Brother Ivey masterfully unpacks this ancient story with urgent relevance for today's believers who face similar temptations to trade their spiritual inheritance for temporary satisfaction.When we receive the Holy Ghost, we're engrafted into the Abrahamic covenant—gaining access to all the promises of blessing, protection, and provision that God originally gave to Abraham. "Anywhere we put our feet, that land is our land," Brother Ivy declares with apostolic authority. Yet many believers fail to fully possess what's rightfully theirs because they haven't activated these covenant promises through faith.The stark contrast between Jacob and Esau serves as both warning and wake-up call. Esau, returning exhausted from the field, made what seemed like a small compromise in a moment of weakness. That single decision—trading his birthright for immediate gratification—literally rewrote biblical history. Where Jesus should have mentioned "Abraham, Isaac, and Esau" in the kingdom lineage, He instead said "Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Esau's name was erased from this spiritual heritage over one bowl of soup.Today's "bowls of soup" look different but prove equally devastating: offense, fleshly desires, worldly compromise, or simply growing weary in well-doing. Brother Ivey's message rings with prophetic clarity: "The devil does not have the authority to take away your God-given birthright. His only chance at stopping the blessing that God has placed upon your life is if you give it to him willingly."This powerful teaching calls us back to spiritual fundamentals—consistent prayer, regular fasting, daily Scripture reading, and faithful church attendance. These aren't just religious activities but the practical guardrails that protect our spiritual inheritance. As Brother Robinette emphasizes, "There's no secret. Nothing's mystical in the kingdom of God. Just get back to the basics."Listen now and reclaim the fullness of your spiritual birthright before another moment passes. Don't sell your divine destiny for any bowl of soup the enemy might offer!We love to hear from our listeners!

In this message from NewCity Orlando's Summer in the Psalms series, Pastor Benjamin Kandt reflects on Psalm 37:3–4, 16, 18–19, 21–22, 25–26, highlighting generosity as a key mark of the righteous life. In a world where the wicked often appear to prosper, God's people are called to trust in the Lord, do good, and live with open hands. The psalm offers a picture of steady, faithful living rooted not in self-reliance but in the Lord's sustaining provision.Pastor Kandt shows how generosity is more than a financial posture—it flows from confidence in God's care and covenant faithfulness. Rather than being anxious about the future, the righteous give freely, knowing they are upheld by the Lord. This sermon invites listeners to embrace a life shaped by trust, gratitude, and the joy of giving as an expression of God's grace.

And you're finally living what you prayed for, only to feel like everything's coming against you.Instead of peace, instead of joy, you're feeling attacked.If you're wondering why resistance is showing up after your breakthrough… it's because the enemy attacks when you start making an impact for the Kingdom.In today's episode, I'm talking about the spiritual warfare that can show up after you begin to live the dream you prayed for and how to stay rooted in faith when the enemy attacks and tries to mess with what God has blessed.Stay tuned because when the enemy attacks your dream, it's not a sign that you're off track. It's often confirmation that you're right where God wants you.

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

Episode Summary: In this week’s episode, I’m talking with Dawn Ward, who shares her painful story of being a mother to two sons who have struggled with addiction. Dawn shares how God has used those wounds, healed them, and given her purpose in her pain to encourage us that God never wastes our pain. Quotables from the episode: I was a Christian and I thought that if I took my children church and taught them the Bible and did all the things according to God's word then those evil elements of the world would somehow not get to our family, but that didn't prove to be true. When I tried to outrun old wounds from my childhood, these old pains and things that had hurt me so much came back to haunt me when my son became involved with the wrong friends and the wrong movies and troublesome behaviors. Both of my sons struggled with addiction and I faced intense guilt and self-blame and shame because at that point I thought it was my fault. I remember crying out to God, “I thought that I was doing better in my relationship with you. I thought I had more faith. I thought I trusted you. And now I'm just in a big pool of my own tears.” And that is so often what happens when we hear messages in childhood that are not always based in truth. Earlier in my life, in my career, my faith, or things that God was tugging at my heart to do, I was reluctant to step out and be bold and do those things because I didn't feel adequate. I didn't feel like I would be able to do it. And I look back on opportunities that God put in front of me, and I told myself I couldn't do them. There came a breaking point where I realized I have to figure this out, because if I don’t figure out how God sees me and the things that he’s given me responsibility for and that he trusts me to be a wife and to be a mother, but yet I’m not trusting myself to do it with his help. I needed to trust God to begin to reveal lies and the thought patterns that were holding me back and affecting all my relationships. One day my husband confronted me and said, “You are going to worry yourself to death.” And I told him he had permission to write that on my tombstone, “She worried herself to death.” But I heard the Lord say to me, “No, it’s going to say she trusted God.” That was an aha moment for me when I realized that every choice that I made moving forward, I needed to ask, “Do I trust you, Lord? Even though this doesn’t make sense. Even though I can’t understand why it’s going this way.” So, I wrote a book hoping maybe other moms wouldn’t have to go through as much pain and all of the hard lessons I had to go through. It’s really about getting our relationship back with the Lord and having our faith in him that can withstand these storms and helping us to trust him in the process of those difficult and painful things that we have no control over. That’s the same thing with us with these wounds. If we don’t allow God to heal them the way that he wants to heal them. Most of us wouldn’t sign up for half the stuff that we end up having to go through in our life. But the beautiful thing is that when we turn it over to God and we trust God through it, he can bring something beautiful out of those painful wounds. Another benefit that comes from that is our relationship with our children and our loved ones, whether they’re in a good place or not, it becomes healthier just because we become healthier and stronger and we’re healing. I look back and sometimes truthfully wish I didn’t have to bear this trial, or that my children didn’t have to bear their trial. But I can see that God has cultivated trust and faith and hope through his grace into my life. And I’m so grateful for that because I don’t think I could have really healed from some of the things I went through as a child without him working through the process of this healing with me as an adult. God is not finished writing your story, or your child’s story. He loves you very much. If we can imagine how much we love our child and to imagine that God loves them that much more, and he loves us too. When we look at our God and what he is capable of and realize that his eye is on that one little lost sheep that’s wandering, that gives us hope.

Have you ever followed what you knew God was asking you to do — and ended up feeling lonelier than ever? You're not crazy, and you're not alone. In this episode of the Seen and Heard Christian podcast, Cami talks about what it really feels like to walk in spiritual discernment — especially when obedience doesn't come with instant peace or external validation. If you've ever asked, “Did I hear God right?” or wrestled with how quiet it feels after doing the right thing, this episode will meet you there. This is a vulnerable, honest conversation for the believer who is trying to stay faithful, even when it's hard.

In the autumn of 1982, seven innocent people in Chicago died after taking what they thought was safe medicine — but the poison hidden inside those Tylenol capsules reveals a chilling truth about the spiritual dangers that lurk behind things that appear perfectly normal in our daily lives.Hear previous #ChurchOfTheUndead messages at https://WeirdDarkness.com/Church!
