Legalism has plagued churches of today having people stooped in religion over understanding the context of the gospel and what faith in Christ and a relationship with Him means. Paul explains this over and over again to the church, but it can be hard to see or understand when you feel as if the whole Bible is written to you. The whole Bible is written for us, but not to us.Many of our churches today will say they do not believe you can earn salvation by works, but they do teach you can earn acceptance, blessings, and fellowship with God by all the things you do or don't do.Listen to this episode as Jackie goes verse by verse in Colossians 2, as Paul warns the church multiple times over this false teaching and even asks them why they are separating themselves over these things.Support the showConnect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE!
In elevating opportunities and understanding for girls, there's a group that's gotten left behind; boys.

In this episode, we address our foundational question for this mini-series: What does baptism have to do with church membership? Should baptism be a requirement for membership? Are baptism and church membership two distinct commitments, or are they linked in the life of the church? How should Christians think of the connection between the two? Join us as we explore how Christians can think biblically about the relationship between baptism and church membership, and what Providence will practice moving forward.ResourcesPodcast Episodes138 - Commitments of Church Members139 - Proclaim and Protect, Contribute, Sacraments089 - Infant Baptism (with Kyle McClellan)090 - Believer's Baptism (with Bobby Jamieson)WrittenCovenantal (presbyterian)Westminster Confession of Faith 28.1“Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the visible church, but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace…”Book of Order (Presbyterian Church U.S.A.)G-1.0303 - Church Membership"A faithful member accepts Christ's call to be involved responsibly in the ministry of his Church...

Send us a textThe holidays can bring pressure from every side—food, family, spending, and the expectation to keep it all together. In this first episode of our Holiday Survival Guide series, we're preparing our hearts before the holiday rush begins. Together, we're learning to trade perfection and willpower for peace, presence, and a deeper connection with God. Instead of pushing through on autopilot, we're asking better questions: What happens when we invite God into our expectations, our meals, and our emotions? How might a renewed mind shift the way we eat, love, and show up this season?We also share five intentions of Spirit-led eating that act like gentle guideposts: waiting for true hunger, inviting God into every meal, choosing just-right portions, creating peaceful eating moments, and stopping at “just enough.” Along the way, we offer practical tools that actually fit real life—truth lists for gatherings, praise breaks in the car, and quick mind-renewal moments amid errands. Underneath it all is freedom: food is a gift, not a savior, and growth matters more than perfection. We're practicing grace, “failing well,” and choosing the better feast—wisdom, peace, and joy that lasts long after the decorations come down.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org
Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.
Pastors Matthew Everhard and Steve Hartland discuss the issue in the PCA, and how it's becoming more prevalent in other denominations as well. We hope and pray that Grounded has become useful to your walk with our Lord. In Christ, The Grounded Team

In this encouraging episode of the Compared to Who? podcast, host Heather Creekmore delves deep into the ever-present fear of missing out—aka FOMO. As part of the “Fear Free Fall” series, Heather unpacks the spiritual roots of FOMO, exploring how it impacts our faith, contentment, and even our relationship with God. Heather explains that FOMO isn’t just a modern phenomenon brought on by social media; it goes back as far as the Garden of Eden. Through honest reflection and biblical truth, she challenges listeners to consider whether FOMO is really about doubting God’s goodness and wondering if He’s holding out on us. You’ll learn: Why FOMO can reveal a lack of “little faith” in your daily life The connection between social media envy and spiritual insecurity How the story of Adam and Eve perfectly illustrates our struggle with FOMO Why God’s timing isn’t the same as God’s favor, and what that means for you The myth of competition and the futility of trying to “win” at life through comparison How to stop chasing others’ dreams and dig into your unique, God-given calling What true abundance and blessing really look like—and how it differs from what social media promises Heather encourages listeners to stop focusing on someone else’s life and instead trust that God’s plan for YOU is personal, intentional, and truly satisfying. If comparison has kept you feeling “less than,” this episode offers authentic hope and practical gospel wisdom to help you stop comparing and truly start living.

Today we continue our conversation about Analog Adventures this Christmas, and get into how these this Christmas can be a time to focus on fun at the pace of real life.

A Moment That Sparks a Movement | His Word, His Plan, His People | DNOW 2025 What does it take for a movement to start? Acts 10 shows us how the obedience of two men opened the door for the gospel to break cultural boundaries and change lives forever. Key Insights: 1. God meets a seeking heart with clarity, not silence. 2. Religious actions don't equal salvation. 3. God may send you to someone you've been avoiding. 4. You don't have to know every step—just say yes to the next one. 5. The gospel spreads when everyday believers speak up. Key Scripture: Acts 10:1 (https://www.bible.com/bible/59/ACT.10.ESV) This sermon invites you to look at your faith, your circles, and your next steps through the lens of purpose. You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to be willing to say yes.

This sermon continues the study of the Ten Plagues, examining plagues six through ten (Exodus 9-11). It moves from the boils and hail to the climactic 10th plague, the death of the firstborn. The message connects the plagues to God's judgment on the gods of Egypt, their prophetic fulfillment in the book of Revelation, and the urgency it creates for our own lives.Scripture ReferencesExodus 9:8-9: The plague of boils.Exodus 9:18-21: The plague of hail, where some Egyptians "feared the word of the Lord" and were saved.Exodus 11:4-7: The announcement of the final plague, the death of the firstborn.Revelation 8:7-8: The end-times judgments echoing the plagues (hail, fire, blood).James 4:14: "What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes."2 Corinthians 5:10: The judgment seat of Christ for believers.Revelation 20:11-15: The Great White Throne judgment for unbelievers.Philippians 1:21-23: "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."Key PointsThe Plagues Get Personal The plagues intensify and become more personal. They began by attacking Egypt's economy (Nile, livestock), but the sixth plague, boils, is the first to directly attack human flesh. God is "turning up the volume" of His revelation.God's Heart: An Invitation in Judgment Even in severe judgment, God offers a way of escape. During the plague of hail (Plague 7), God gives a warning to bring livestock inside. The text explicitly states that some of Pharaoh's servants "feared the word of the Lord" and were saved, showing God's desire to rescue anyone who will listen.The War on Gods: Defeating Ra The plagues were a systematic humiliation of Egypt's gods. The ninth plague, darkness, was the most significant. It was a direct assault on Ra, the sun god, who was the chief deity. Since Pharaoh was seen as the human embodiment of Ra, this plague was a total humiliation of both the god and the king.The Final Exodus: Plagues in Revelation The plagues of Exodus are a preview of the "Final Exodus" described in the book of Revelation. The end-times judgments use the exact same imagery: hail, fire, blood, darkness, and sores. What God did to one nation that hated Him, He will one day do on a global scale.Your Personal End Times Whether or not we are in the "last generation," every individual is in their own "personal end times." Life is a mist (James 4:14). The two most important days of our lives are the day we respond to the Gospel and the day we stand before Jesus.ConclusionThe tenth plague, the death of the firstborn, is the climax and the clearest picture of the Gospel in the Old Testament. Judgment is real and coming for all. But God provided a way out: the blood of an unblemished lamb. Those who applied the blood to their doorposts were saved.This truth gives believers a "win-win" perspective on mortality. As Kathleen Candy, a beloved member of this church, famously said while battling cancer, "Either way, I win." This echoes Paul: "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."Calls to ActionAcknowledge Your Mortality: Recognize that your life is a mist and you are not guaranteed tomorrow.Prepare to Meet God: Ensure you are "covered by the blood of the Lamb" (Jesus) so you are prepared for your "personal end times."Live with a "Win-Win" Attitude: Adopt the perspective of Philippians 1:21, knowing that for a believer, death is not a loss but a gain.

He explains how each one creates distance—whether through walls we build, hurts we carry, habits we tolerate, or energy we deplete. Using biblical examples like Elijah, Franklin highlights the importance of humility, healing, healthy rhythms, and rest. His central message is that reconnection doesn't begin when others change—it begins when we choose to change, steward our emotional health, and model genuine relational connection.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

Stephen shares his family's adoption story — from their first “yes” to welcoming their children home — and opens up about how faith has guided every step along the way.Together, they unpack common misconceptions about adoption, how to navigate conversations about biological family, and what it looks like to help kids understand adoption in a healthy, Christ-centered way. Whether you're considering adoption, have already adopted, or simply want to help your kids see adoption through a biblical lens, this conversation will encourage you to view family the way God does.--Christian Kids Music - Slugs & Bugs--Question of the Week: What makes a "family” a family?--Hosts: Amy Lowe & Sara JonesGuests: Stephen MooreProducers: Emily Alters & Cody Braun--Learn more about WinShape Camps at WinShapeCamps.org!Instagram: @WinShapeCampsTikTok: @WinShapeCampsFacebook: @WinShapeCamps Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today we're discussing the debate between feminists and non-feminists, and why I side with the non-feminists for biblical reasons. Just because women can do some of what men do doesn't mean we should. We'll also continue discussing the Charlie Kirk case, Erika Kirk's strange behavior, why being a widow doesn't automatically make you innocent, and why it's deeply concerning that TPUSA refuses to distance itself from Israel, even as Charlie's final words publicly challenged Israel, Judaism, and the control of figures like Ben Shapiro over the conservative movement.
If you've been walking with In Totality for a while, then you know I'm passionate about talking through the raw parts of our faith journeys, the in-between spaces where trust feels tested and growth feels slow.In this week's episode, we're diving into the process of sanctification—that slow, beautiful, and sometimes frustrating journey of being shaped into Christ's image.We talk about what it looks like to hold on when you'd rather hurry, to trust God when you don't understand His pace, and to find peace in the “not yet” moments of your story.This conversation unpacks what it means to be renewed day by day, even when you're tired, even when it feels like nothing's changing, and how God uses the waiting, the wrestling, and the weariness to make us whole.Lean in, and let's talk about the slow work of sanctification together.Listen now, you don't want to miss this one!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I used to feel so frustrated when someone would tell me to "just give your burden to the Lord." It sounded easy enough, but I had no idea how to do it. When I asked anyone to tell me how, I was never given a clear, actionable answer. Then the Holy Spirit answered my question. From that time I have been able to overcome the fear, worry, anxiety, depression that plagued me. In this episode I share what the Spirit taught me and I truly hope it helps others experience the relief of being able to give burdens to the Lord.
