She explains that while young people are happy in their faith, they expect educated and relational leaders who can guide them with both truth and grace. Transitioning into her book, she unpacks “flow” as the intersection of divine assignment, gifting, and God's timing. Drawing from psychology and ministry, she stresses that leaders thrive when serving in their true calling and that valuing diverse roles within the church creates stronger, Spirit-led teamwork.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

This sermon explores the origins and significance of baptism and communion, tracing them back to their roots in the Exodus story. It explains that these sacraments are not random rituals but divine institutions commanded by Jesus, prefigured in the Old Testament, and practiced by the church for thousands of years.Scripture ReferencesMatthew 28:18-20: The Great Commission to baptize.Luke 22:7-20: The Last Supper, instituting communion.1 Corinthians 11:23-26: Paul's instructions on the Lord's Supper.Exodus 12:1-28: The Passover, the origin of communion.Exodus 12:29-51 & 14:1-31: The Exodus and crossing of the Red Sea, the origin of baptism.John 1:29: John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the "Lamb of God."1 Peter 1:18-19: Redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish.Key PointsCommunion: The Passover Fulfilled To understand the Last Supper, we must understand the First Supper (Passover). In Exodus 12, God provided a substitute (a lamb) to save the Israelites from judgment. This lamb had to be:Pure: Without defect.Personal: Kept in the home for four days.Killed: A true sacrifice.Applied: Blood on the doorposts (faith in action).Consumed: Totally devoured (we take all of Jesus).Taken in Faith: Eaten in haste, ready to move. Jesus is the fulfillment of this Passover lamb. He is the pure, personal sacrifice whose blood is applied to our lives, saving us from judgment.Baptism: The Red Sea Crossing Baptism is framed by the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14). It involves three movements of salvation:Leaving the Old Behind: Just as Israel left 430 years of slavery in Egypt, baptism symbolizes leaving our old life of bondage.Surrendering to God: At the Red Sea, Israel was trapped and terrified. Moses told them, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Baptism declares our trust in God to fight battles we cannot win.New Identity: Passing through the waters, Israel was born again as a free nation. They emerged on the other side with a new identity as worshipers, erupting in song. Baptism marks our entry into a new life and identity in Christ.Why We Do It We practice baptism and communion because Jesus commanded them, the early church practiced them, and they powerfully reenact the story of our salvation. They are not just rituals; they are "sacraments" that mark the church and remind us of who we are and whose we are.ConclusionThe sacraments of baptism and communion are God's way of "resetting our clocks" and marking us as His own. Just as the Passover changed the calendar for Israel, meeting Jesus changes everything for us. We leave behind the old, trust God to fight for us, and step into a new identity as His people.Calls to ActionRemember Your Baptism: If you are a believer, recall the moment you "crossed the Red Sea" and left your old life behind.Take Communion in Faith: When you participate in the Lord's Supper, remember the cost of the Lamb and apply His blood to your life by faith.Stand Firm: If you are facing an "impossible" Red Sea situation, hear the word of the Lord: "Do not be afraid. Stand firm... The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.
In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl launches the new series The King Has Come with a powerful exploration of the first great gift Jesus brings: hope.Turning to Luke 2 and the quiet, largely forgotten figures of Simeon and Anna, Pastor Karl paints a vivid picture of two elderly saints who spent decades waiting in faithful obscurity—praying unanswered prayers, worshiping through silence, and serving without recognition. Yet the moment a 40-day-old baby was carried into the temple, their Spirit-illuminated eyes saw what the crowds missed: the long-promised Messiah, the Consolation of Israel, the Redemption of Jerusalem.Through their story, Pastor Karl reveals that biblical hope is not wishful thinking; it is the confident, unshakable expectation of future good rooted in the unchanging character and faithfulness of God. Hope grows in the hidden soil of daily faithfulness, thrives when God chooses to work in silence, and celebrates the tiny seed because it already trusts the coming harvest. Simeon and Anna never saw Jesus preach, heal, or rise from the dead—yet they held the infant King and departed in peace, because they knew who He was long before they saw what He would do.A tender yet convicting word for everyone who has waited a long time and is still waiting, prayed a long time and is still praying, and hoped a long time and is still hoping. In a season that can feel rushed and noisy, this message calls us to slow down, stay faithful, and train our eyes to recognize the presence of the King—even when He shows up wrapped in the ordinary, the small, and the seemingly insignificant.Because the King has come, hope is not dead. It is alive, resilient, and bubbling up in every heart that keeps showing up and keeps looking for Jesus. Essential listening for anyone who needs fresh hope this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Winning When You’re Tired, Anxious, and Under Attack Most Christians aren’t losing the battle because their faith is weak, they’re losing because their thought life is unprotected. In this episode, Jon exposes the real frontline of spiritual warfare: the mind. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, burnout, comparison, and identity lies are not just emotional struggles, they’re spiritual attacks with mental symptoms. Jon walks you through how the enemy weaponizes your thoughts, how to tear down strongholds, and how to renew your mind with the Word of God so you can finally walk in clarity, confidence, and peace. If you’ve felt overwhelmed mentally, spiritually exhausted, or trapped in your own head, this episode gives you the tools, Scriptures, and Spirit-led truths you need to win the war for your mind and live the life of The Uncommon Christian. Your mind is a battlefield, and the enemy knows it. In this episode, Jon shows you how to defeat anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and spiritual exhaustion by taking back control of your thought life through the power of God’s Word and the renewing of your mind. This is the roadmap to winning the war in your head and walking in uncommon clarity and freedom.

In this week's episode, I'm unpacking a powerful, dual-story moment in Scripture that has been ministering deeply to my heart—Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5.We explore what it means to pursue Jesus in desperation, to press through discouragement, and to discover that He often gives us more than we were even asking for. I share how this passage has encouraged me in a season of spiritual fatigue and waiting, and how God reminded me that He doesn't just heal—He restores identity.If you've ever begged God for just one breakthrough, or wondered whether He sees you while others receive their blessing, this conversation is for you. You're not forgotten. You're not overlooked. And you are still His child.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Are you tired of letting fears—big or small—shape how you live and see yourself? In this powerful wrap-up to our "Fear Free Fall" series, Heather Creekmore tackles one of the most common (and sneaky) fears: the fear of gaining weight. But that's just the beginning. This episode goes deep, unearthing all the little day-to-day worries that seem so normal… until you realize they’re holding you back. Heather asks tough questions: Where do our fears about weight really come from? Are our fears about gainign weight about health…or worth? What does the Bible actually teach about bodies, value, and holiness—and are we prioritizing “taking care of our temple” over what God specifically asks of us? Heather shares surprising biblical truths, eye-opening cultural stories, and practical steps to trade fear for faith—even if your fear is “just how I am.” Whether you find yourself obsessing over the scale, or caught in smaller worries that never seem to quit, you’ll walk away with a fresh perspective and actionable advice. Don't miss Heather’s candid encouragement and the very real invitation to find freedom, trust, and joyful expectancy… starting today.
We've all prayed for something that didn't happen the way we hoped. In this episode, we talk about what to do when God feels silent—how to be honest with him in disappointment, remember his faithfulness, and find hope even when life doesn't go according to plan.Download the Audio Podcast Here:

Comfort is the silent killer of calling. In this episode, Jon exposes one of the greatest idols in the modern church, the idol of convenience, and shows how comfort is slowly suffocating courage, obedience, and real discipleship. Using Amos 6:1 and Matthew 16:24-26, Jon unpacks the danger of living “at ease in Zion” and why Jesus didn’t invite us into a convenient Christianity, but a costly, courageous one. He also shares a powerful real-life story from a recent deer hunt in Illinois where simple obedience, sharing the gospel at gas stations and food stops, led to breakthrough moments that comfort would have stolen. If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, passive, or spiritually sleepy… this episode will wake you up, call you up, and push you into a bold, Spirit-led faith. You were not saved to stay comfortable. You were saved to carry a cross.

In this deeply moving episode of Linking Arms, host Nadine Dyer sits down with biblical counselor, speaker, and newly published author Jill Wamsley for a raw and redemptive conversation. Jill opens up about her childhood marked by trauma, her early adult years as a single mom, and how a chance encounter on a plane with Nadine led to a God-ordained friendship—and this powerful episode. Together, they explore how Jill's life was transformed by Christ as she slowly discovered her voice, her value, and her unshakeable worth as a daughter of God. Jill shares her story of being shaped by rejection and striving, blending in to belong, and how she broke free from the cookie-cutter version of herself to embrace the woman God uniquely created her to be. Her message is a timely reminder that your identity is sealed in Christ—100% loved, 100% worthy, and never up for debate. Listeners will be challenged to examine their own hearts and consider the cost of missing out on the woman God designed them to be. Whether you're walking through heartache, hiding your brokenness, or striving to belong, Jill's story offers hope, healing, and a call to step into your true identity in Christ. About Jill Wamsley Jill has been a member at College Park Church in Indianapolis, Indiana for over 27 years and in 2023 joined the counseling team at Summit Church-University Campus in Fort Myers, Florida.

Send us a textPerfection cracks fast during the holidays—one party, one plate too many, one “I blew it” moment—and shame rushes in. In this episode, we take that story back. We talk about why God doesn't turn away when we stumble with food, and how His Word re-frames failure through compassion and truth. Psalm 103 and Psalm 32 remind us that God meets us in honesty, not disappointment. We also look at Colossians 2 and Titus 2 to see that grace isn't a pass—it's a teacher. Grace trains us toward self-control and peace, not through rules, but through relationship with the One who knows our hearts.We share our “holiday failure truth list” as a simple, powerful way to interrupt shame in real time: no condemnation in Christ, not disqualified by struggle, and this is not the end of the story. We walk through how to record your own truths, how to return to God quickly after a stumble, and how to learn from the moment without judgment. At the center of it all is identity—knowing who God is and who we are in Him changes everything. When we live from that truth, recovery comes faster, our choices grow gentler, and joy stretches far beyond the season.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Tim opens up about seasons of deep hardship, learning to lead through pain, and discovering the difference between information about God and revelation from Him.Together, we unpack what it means to trust God in the wilderness, surrender doubt before it becomes an idol, and let Him turn wounds into scars that testify of His healing power.If you've ever wondered where God is in the waiting or felt weary in your faith, this conversation 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.
What is gluttony really? If you’ve ever worried about overeating, obsessing about food, or wondered whether enjoying that extra slice of cake is a spiritual failure, this episode is for you. Best-selling author and host Heather Creekmore dives deep into the true heart behind gluttony—exploring why our modern definitions miss the mark and how diet culture and church culture have distorted our understanding. Heather reframes gluttony, drawing on biblical insight, church history, and thought-provoking examples from C.S. Lewis and Tim Keller. She challenges the idea that gluttony is simply about having seconds or what’s on your plate and asks powerful questions about cravings, control, and where we derive our satisfaction. Plus, Heather explores how misplaced fears about food can keep us stuck and why true freedom comes from surrender—not self-denial. Whether food has become a source of stress or you’re striving for perfect control, this conversation will open your eyes to new ways of understanding your desires and finding satisfaction. Ready to rethink gluttony and experience food freedom? Listen now for practical encouragement, spiritual wisdom, and a fresh take you won’t want to miss!

In Christ we are new creations (2 Cor. 5:17), and that must change the way we parent our children. We must speak gently, act rightly, be generous with our time, energy, and resources, and think of our children the way God thinks of us. This is an act of the will, for sure, but it's only truly possible through the active working of God's Holy Spirit giving us the heart and will to love as he calls us.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/49fQFyl
