This week, I'm back with the team to talk about the importance of pausing to pray and seek God's direction as Christians, before we publicly respond to things online, or create content for public consumption that dishonors others.We're living in a time where everyone feels pressure to react quickly, share every opinion, and defend every point of view. But as believers, we are not called to move at the speed of society. We are called to move in step with the Spirit. And sometimes that means being quiet long enough to pray, examine our hearts, and ask whether what we're about to say is actually producing the kind of unity Jesus prayed for.If you've felt grieved by the division online within the Christian body, or even if you've been trusted with your own platform and wondered, “Do I need to respond to everything?” or “How do I stand firm without sowing division?” I pray this episode reminds you—not every moment needs your reaction, but every moment does require a thoughtful response in love.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine continues the mini-series with a meaningful conversation titled “Why Be Missional?” Joined by Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric, the discussion explores how every follower of Christ is called to live missionally bringing discipleship, love, and transformation into their communities wherever God places them.Bishop Dr. Yasser Eric draws from his own journey—from growing up as a radical Sunni Muslim in Sudan to becoming a follower of Christ—to emphasize that mission and discipleship begin with a heart for Jesus. He highlights that being missional is not about attending church on Sundays or completing programs; it's about living out Christ's love daily in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools.Throughout the episode, he shares practical insights on discipleship, illustrating that transformation happens relationally, day by day. Using examples from Scripture and real life, Dr. Eric explains how Christ modeled discipleship through daily engagement with His followers and how ordinary believers can serve as missionaries simply by living faithfully.He also discusses Heart for Lebanon's Mission Leadership Program, which equips men and women—including Muslim-background believers—to disciple others within their own communities. The program emphasizes context, relationships, and practical application of Scripture, showing that small, intentional groups can create long-lasting spiritual growth.This episode is a powerful reminder that discipleship and mission begin with being available to God, showing love, and living intentionally. Transformation happens over time, through patience, relationship, and faithfulness, as God works in the hearts of those we encounter.Show Notes:Being MissionalGod is a missionary God, always reaching out to people (Genesis–Revelation)Mission is not limited to pastors or church leaders; every Christian is calledLiving missionally starts in your daily context—home, work, school, and neighborhoodDiscipleship in PracticeTrue discipleship happens relationally, day by day, through example and engagementElevate others toward Christ by showing love, guidance, and patienceDiscipleship does not require perfect knowledge, only a heart for JesusHeart for Lebanon Mission Leadership Program: Equips students from diverse backgrounds to make disciples in their communitiesEmphasizes starting from context, not imposing contentBuilds organic, relational growth through small groups and home-based gatheringsKey TakeawaysBeing missional is about living Christ's love wherever you areDiscipleship is a lifelong journey, available to all believersTransformation begins with intentional relationship and patienceGod works in people's lives even before we arrive; our role is to join Him

Fields Ready for Harvest: Faith, Healing, and the Work of God – John 4:27–54 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through the Gospel of John by exploring John 4:27–54, where two powerful themes unfold—the harvest of hearts ready to believe and the healing power of Jesus' word. After His encounter with the Samaritan woman, Jesus reminds His disciples that the fields are already ripe for harvest, inviting them to see people through God's eyes. The chapter then closes with the healing of the official's son, revealing a faith that trusts Jesus' word even before seeing the result. Together, Jamie and Jane reflect on what it means to participate in God's harvest, trust Christ's authority, and recognize how belief grows when we step out in faith. This conversation encourages listeners to see the people around them as God does and to trust that His word still brings life and healing today. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In this episode, Lucas Mack sits down with returning guest Brenden Whitney for a deep conversation about faith, truth, and the nature of reality. Brenden shares his personal journey from Mormonism to Christianity and how that transition reshaped his understanding of Jesus, scripture, and spiritual authority. Together, Lucas and Brenden explore why Jesus remains the most influential figure in human history and why that matters in a world filled with competing belief systems. The conversation moves into deeper territory as they discuss sovereignty, free will, and the mystery of whether even darkness and evil ultimately serve a greater divine purpose. Along the way they examine ideas surrounding biblical numerology, the human genetic code, hidden historical narratives, and the possibility that the modern world may function more like a deceptive “matrix” than we realize. Rather than promoting fear, Lucas and Brenden challenge listeners to reject manipulation and rediscover personal freedom through truth, faith, and spiritual hope. This episode invites you to question what you've been told about reality—and to consider the possibility that true liberation begins with seeing clearly. https://www.instagram.com/brenden.whitney/ Thank you for listening – if you're struggling to break free and need support – go to my website and www.lucasmack.com.

He emphasizes unity through shared vision, clear mission focus, and consistent over-communication. Bernard highlights the importance of listening, building consensus, celebrating real results, and fostering a healthy culture where disagreement is handled constructively. He also reframes critics as potential contributors who can expose blind spots, strengthen vision, and ultimately help leaders guide people forward together.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 a text

Kids experience a lot of emotions—and sometimes those feelings can change by the minute. As parents, it can be hard to know how to help our kids understand what they're feeling and express themselves in healthy ways.  In this episode we sit down with author, speaker, and family coach Dr. Josh Straub to talk about why emotional awareness matters and how parents can create space for meaningful conversations about feelings. Josh and his wife, Christi, have dedicated their work to helping families grow in emotional intelligence and healthy relationships. Together, they've written a children's book series designed to help kids name and navigate their emotions. In this conversation, they discuss why helping kids identify their feelings is such an important part of spiritual and emotional growth, how simple tools can help kids express what they're feeling, and how parents can guide their children to invite God into every emotion—from anger and worry to joy and gratitude. If you've ever wondered how to help your child talk about big emotions—or how to respond with empathy when feelings run high—this episode offers practical encouragement and simple ways to start meaningful, faith-centered conversations at home. -- Meet our guest: Josh Straub Book: What Am I Feeling - by Dr. Josh Straub & Christi Straub Book: What Do I Do With Anger?

This week, I'm reflecting with the team on my experience witnessing Jackie and Jordan practice obedience during the Blameless concert weekend that took place in February. We're talking about what it means to fix our gaze on Jesus when fear, doubt, and uncertainty can cause a hesitation to obey. In Matthew 14, we see Peter walk on water only while his eyes are fixed on Jesus, but the moment he focuses on the wind and the waves, he begins to sink. And honestly, it's the same way for so many of us when it comes to trusting God. But Jesus is so kind. When Peter began to sink, he called out to Jesus, and Jesus reached for him. And He does the same for us.Join the conversation as we explore what it looks like to trust God in the midst of fear. We discuss the tension of wanting to believe the Lord is faithful while battling uncertainty, and how faith is often not the absence of fear, but the practice of fixing our gaze on God in everything we do, until we see our complete assignment through to the end.This episode is for anyone who feels like they've been sinking under the weight of anxiety, doubt, or fear and it's keeping you from saying Yes to the Lord. I pray this reminds you that He is not distant in our struggle. He is near, steady, and faithful.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Biblical higher education leaders are grappling with a "perfect storm" of unprecedented complexity. They must navigate a confluence of challenges, including demographic shifts, persistent financial pressures, and escalating regulatory demands. In this candid conversation, John Derry reflects on more than five decades in Christian higher education, offering hard earned wisdom on governance, risk taking, fundraising, and moral leadership. With humility and clarity, he challenges leaders to stay grounded, seek counsel, and remain faithful in both crisis and calling.

Prophets, we get excited when the word is going forth, that we forget to eat the word for ourselves.

Please do not despise the small beginnings. This is not a cliché this is the word from the Lord

Do not come down from the work you are doing for the Lord

Most Christians were told how to believe in Jesus. Very few were actually shown how to follow Him. Somewhere along the way, Christianity in the modern world became centered around decisions instead of discipleship. We invited people to pray a prayer, attend church, and try to live a good life, but many believers were never shown what it actually means to walk with Jesus day by day. And the result is something many people quietly feel but rarely talk about. They believe in Jesus… but they feel stuck. They love God… but they don’t know what following Him is supposed to look like. In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis breaks down the difference between belief and discipleship, why so many Christians feel spiritually stalled, and what Jesus actually meant when He said: "Follow Me." This conversation will challenge assumptions, bring clarity to what real discipleship looks like, and help you take the next step toward living the kind of faith Jesus actually called people to. Because Christianity was never meant to be casual. It was meant to transform your life. Most Christians were taught how to believe in Jesus, but very few were ever shown how to follow Him. In this episode, Jon Ellis explores the gap between belief and discipleship, why so many believers feel stuck, and what Jesus actually meant when He said, “Follow Me.” If you’ve ever felt like faith was supposed to be deeper than what you’ve experienced, this conversation will help you understand why.

What did Jesus mean when He said we must eat His flesh and drink His blood? In John 6, His words shocked many listeners. Later, during the Last Supper, He clarified the meaning through the bread and the cup. In this episode, we explore the powerful meaning behind the Lord's Table and why communion is more than a religious ritual. It is a call to remember Christ's sacrifice, examine our hearts, and participate in the life He offers through His body and blood. Looking at John 6:53–56, Luke 22:19–20, and 1 Corinthians 11:24–28, we'll uncover what Jesus was teaching about spiritual life, remembrance, and reverence when we come to the table. Communion is not casual—it is sacred. And when we approach it rightly, it reminds us of the cost of our redemption and the grace we've received through Christ.

This sermon introduces the importance of "connecting small" (joining small groups or "Packs") as an essential part of spiritual formation. Connecting small isn't just a church program; it's a vital environment for maturing in our faith, making disciples, and fulfilling the Great Commission.Scripture ReferencesMatthew 28:19-20: The Great Commission—making disciples and teaching them to obey.1 Corinthians 3:1-2: Paul addressing spiritual infants who need milk, not solid food.Philippians 2:3-4: A call to spiritual adolescence: looking to the interests of others.1 Corinthians 4:15: "You have countless instructors in Christ, but you don't have many fathers."James 1:2-4: The testing of faith produces endurance, leading to maturity.Luke 24:13-35: The Road to Emmaus, where Jesus models different learning styles (Scripture, mentoring, and an immersive meal).1 John 4:7-8: "Let us love one another, because love is from God."Luke 10:5-6: Jesus instructs His disciples to look for a "person of peace."Key PointsThe Goal is Maturity Jesus didn't just save us; He called us to grow up in Him. Using James Fowler's "Stages of Faith," we can assess our maturity:Spiritual Infancy: Fully dependent on others for spiritual nourishment ("feed me").Spiritual Adolescence: Taking personal responsibility for your own spiritual growth.Spiritual Adulthood/Parenthood: Moving from independence to interdependence. You invest in others, walking alongside them through the testing of their faith to help them grow.Connecting Small Creates a Place to Learn Sunday mornings are great, but learning theory shows we need more than just a lecture. Small groups provide:Information (Lecture/Teaching)Apprenticeship (Mentoring from someone further along)Immersion (Catching the culture and presence of God by being in the environment) Jesus used all three on the Road to Emmaus. Small groups provide the apprenticeship and immersion that a Sunday service cannot fully offer.Connecting Small Gives Us a People to Love Maturity requires love. In a small group, we hear the hopes, fears, and pains of others. Loving people stretches our capacity and creates a dependency on God ("I don't know how to help them; God, You have to come through"). Loving God fuels our love for others, and loving others deepens our reliance on God.ConclusionWe don't connect small just to have another meeting on the calendar. We do it because we desire to grow and mature, we want a context to love people deeply, and we want to set the table for others to experience the healing and peace of Jesus.Calls to ActionAssess Your Stage: Are you an infant relying on others to feed you, an adolescent taking responsibility, or a parent investing in others?Join a Group: Don't settle for the "lecture" of Sunday morning. Join a small group to experience apprenticeship and immersion.Look for a Person of Peace: Pay attention to the people in your life. Who is God already preparing? Take the risk and invite them into your life and community. Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

In Episode 5 of Your Best Yes, we revisit the story of Esther—not the simplified childhood version, but the complex and costly reality behind her courage. Living as a Jewish woman in Persia, married to an unpredictable king, surrounded by insecure and power-hungry men, Esther had every reason to stay silent. Yet when faced with the annihilation of her people, she chose a courageous yes, shaped by fasting, prayer, and deep trust in God's sovereignty. This message explores how Esther's bravery was rooted in a quiet trust that God was working behind the scenes, even when He seemed absent. As the story unfolds, we see a remarkable reversal: a passive queen becomes a bold strategist, mourning turns to celebration, and destruction gives way to deliverance. Esther's yes reminds us that when we trust God's providence, seek His guidance, and step forward despite fear, He meets us with the courage and wisdom we need. And ultimately, her story points us to the greatest reversal of all, the grace we receive through Jesus.

In this stand-alone message, He Is Able, we reflect on the words of Ephesians 3:20–21 and the story of God's faithfulness through seasons of transition. The apostle Paul writes these words from prison, reminding the church that the God who saves is also the God who continues to work beyond what we can ask or imagine. This message explores how that promise has shaped the journey of Grace Hill Church over the past decade, and how it continues to strengthen faith when life feels uncertain, fragile, or unfinished. Through a series of personal and congregational stories, we see how God proves Himself faithful in many different moments: when we aren't praying for it, when we are praying for it, when we don't know what comes next, when we are desperate, and even when God asks us to wait. Again and again, God works in ways that cannot be predicted or engineered, reminding us that the story of faith is never built on human ability but on God's power and grace. Ultimately, the hope behind every story points back to the center of the Christian faith—the cross and resurrection of Jesus. The God who raised Christ from the dead is still bringing life where people expect only endings. Whether your faith feels strong or fragile today, this message is an invitation to remember that the same God who has carried His people in the past is still able to carry you now.

Have you ever asked God for help and received an answer you didn't want? We often come to God expecting a dramatic fix, a breakthrough moment, or a clear resolution. Instead, sometimes He gives us a simple instruction. In this final message of Your Best Yes, we look at the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5, a powerful, respected man desperate for healing who almost walked away because God's solution felt too ordinary. Naaman's story reminds us that the best yes is often an ordinary yes. The small step. The unimpressive act of obedience. The humble decision to forgive, confess, serve, or try again. Healing didn't come when Naaman understood the plan. It came when he obeyed it. If you've been resisting a step because it feels too small or too slow, this message is an invitation to trust God with the next faithful thing. Your delay does not cancel His grace, but your obedience opens you to receive it.

He explains that feeling called doesn't mean knowing everything, and that growth happens through intentional relationships with trusted voices. Rather than speaking too quickly, he encourages learning from spiritual giants and allowing others to shape and challenge you. He warns that arrogance carries a high cost, while humility, alignment with purpose, and the right people at your table are essential for longevity and effectiveness in kingdom work.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 a text

In Totality Podcast is back for a season 3 return this week! This season is anchored in John 15, where Jesus says, “Remain in My love.” And so I want to slow down with you and allow scripture to call us back to something we forget so easily: joyful obedience doesn't come from striving, it comes from abiding.So many of us are trying to follow God from a place of pressure, like we have to earn closeness, approval, or prove we're “doing enough.” But Jesus doesn't invite us into performance. He invites us into relationship. Into a life where we stay connected to Him, and the fruit comes from finding Joy in our lives with Him, not from dreaded works. As I read and reflect, I talk about what this can look like in real life: when you've been “doing all the right things” but you're losing joy, so your relationship with God starts to feel transactional. We talk about identity, living as sons and daughters, not as servants, and what it means to receive His love before you try to get your life together on your own.This episode is for anyone who feels tired of trying… tired of striving… tired of carrying their walk with God like a weight. If you've been asking, “Why does obedience feel so hard?” or “Why do I feel far even when I'm doing everything?” I pray this reminds you: you don't need to try harder, just abide in Him.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Parenting is an impossible task, and God knows this. We don't need to be perfect. We can do three things today to love our children well and do our job as parents:1. Make time for them. 2. Correct them in love (discipline)3. Point them to Christ.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/46DuXCp

Send a textIs fear a sin?For many believers, anxiety comes with a second burden: guilt. We worry not only about our circumstances but also about whether our fear disappoints God.In this episode of God-Sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, I speak with Ed Welch about his book Fear Is Not a Sin and what Scripture teaches about anxiety, weakness, and the nearness of Christ.You'll discover:Why fear is part of living in a fallen worldThe difference between struggling and rebellingHow God responds to anxious heartsPractical steps toward biblical courageA more compassionate theology of weaknessIf you have ever felt ashamed of your anxiety, this episode will help you see fear through the lens of grace.

Leadership in biblical higher education demands more than strategic insight. It requires spiritual depth, moral courage, and unwavering fidelity to the authority of Scripture. In this rich and transparent conversation, Dr. David Gyertson reflects on more than five decades of ministry and presidential leadership, offering wisdom forged through failure, perseverance, and deep dependence on Christ. From governance challenges to personal vulnerabilities, this episode calls leaders to anchor their influence in both orthodoxy and spiritual formation.

In this powerful episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore takes a deep dive into one of the most important (and personal) topics discussed in our community—negative self-talk. Are you your own harshest critic? Do you find it easy to be kind to others but unbearable when it comes to your own reflection? This episode is for you! Heather openly explores the critical inner dialogue that many of us experience, especially on our journeys toward body image freedom. She addresses where negative self-talk comes from, why it's so hard to stop, and shares practical steps to start recognizing, writing down, and confronting those mean inner phrases that hold us back. What You'll Learn: How negative self-talk becomes a habit The spiritual and emotional roots of self-criticism Why simply "thinking positive" isn't enough Practical tips for noticing, documenting, and challenging negative thoughts How to find community and encouragement on the road to body kindness How our deep-seated beliefs shape the way we treat ourselves Key Takeaways: You can't stop negative self-talk until you notice it—awareness is the first step. Much of our negative inner dialogue stems from lies we’ve adopted as truth, often rooted in our childhood or from past hurtful comments. Community and vulnerability are vital; you’re not alone, and healing often grows in connection with others. Action Steps: Start tuning into your self-talk. Notice and write down the harsh words you’re telling yourself. Reflect: What’s stuck with you—and who put it there?

I linked up with Levi through my best friend since High School. Levi's dad owns one of the biggest garage door companies in Orange County. Levi started his own company and was offered government contract jobs in Antarctica at McMurdo Station. Levi has no skin in the game I didn't mention anything about Flat vs Globe before our conversation. I just wanted a raw uncut conversation to flow how it flowed. So, I also want Flat earthers to know that we need to be prepared to find out how this works on a Flat Earth/Biblilcal Earth model. We cant continue to say its fake just because it doesn't work on the Gleasons Map. God never provided us with a Gleasons map or an AE Map nor does the Bible claim that Antarctica is the boundaries of the Biblical Earth.Josh Monday Christian and Conspiracy Podcast Ep. 353How to Support the ministry: $5.99 a monthpatreon.com/JoshMondayChristianandConspiracyPodcastJoin the Patreon here: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/Joshmonday_podcastGo fund me for Punta Arenas Trip Flat Earth Experiment: https://gofund.me/21ca67d84If you want to donate to the Ministry CashAPP:https://cash.app/$JoshmondaymusicPaul and Crystals links: https://thetinfoilhatfactory.com/Youtube: ⁠@joshmondaymusicandpodcast ⁠Tips for the show to Support our Ministry:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/joshmondayCoffeeMug Is Available email me your mailing address Joshmonday⁠@rocketmail.com ⁠Please subscribe to our Spotify and You Tube Channel Joshmondaymusic and Podcast and help us grow so we can keep on spreading the good news.

This week, I'm sharing another special moment from the live podcast back in October, where I'm reading through 1 Thessalonians 5, and letting Scripture bring us back to what we forget most easily: who we are in Christ.This passage is such a steady reminder that we are children of light. We're not called to live in fear, anxiety, or spiritual numbness, but to stay awake, anchored, and strengthened in the Lord. As I read, I share what this could look like in real life: choosing patience with one another, leaning into community, praying with and for each other, and learning how to give thanks in all things… even when it's not easy.This special episode is for anyone who's felt discouraged in their growth, frustrated with the process of patience, or tempted to forget the miracle of what God already did on the cross.If sanctification feels slow and obedience feels heavy, I pray this reminds you: God is faithful, He is keeping you, and your identity has already been secured.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
