Second Timothy 1:5 is often quoted to celebrate the faithful discipleship of Lois and Eunice, and rightly so. But it is equally a portrait of Timothy stepping into his own personal faith — moving beyond the foundation his grandmother and mother provided and owning that faith as his own as he began to preach and lead. Paul was writing to encourage Timothy to stand on what he now personally believed, not simply on what he had been handed. The same invitation extends to every believer who has grown up surrounded by the faith of others. There is a moment when borrowed faith must become personal. When kneeling before God and surrendering is no longer someone else's story but your own. The foundation provided by faithful parents and grandparents is a profound gift. But the blessings of following Christ are only fully experienced when we move from inheriting a faith to genuinely living it ourselves. Today's Bible Verse "I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also."— 2 Timothy 1:5, NIV Ponder Today Inherited faith provides a foundation, but it must become personal to bear lasting fruit. Growing up surrounded by Christianity is a gift. But the blessings of following Christ are only fully experienced when that faith moves from borrowed to genuinely owned. Timothy's faith was celebrated not just because of Lois and Eunice, but because it now lived in him personally. Paul's encouragement to Timothy was a call to step fully into his own faith and lead from it — no longer leaning on his family's belief, but standing in his own. A decade of running from God does not disqualify a person from a profound personal encounter with Him. The return to faith — the moment of surrender — can arrive at any point, and God is fully capable of meeting us wherever and whenever we come back. Borrowed faith may sustain us through seasons of wandering, but it cannot produce transformation. Living on goldfish-and-apple-juice Sunday School memories and someone else's prayers is not the same as personally pursuing Christ, studying Scripture, and allowing truth to take root in your own heart. Give thanks for those who built the foundation, then own what they gave you. Honor the Loises and Eunices in your life by moving from gratitude for their investment into active, personal growth in Christ — and then pour that same investment into someone else. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of family, friends, teachers, and others who have poured into my life and taught me about You and Your Word. May I move from an inherited faith to a personal relationship with You, supported and strengthened by time in Scripture and bathed in prayer. Provide a Christian community to help me grow in my pursuit of knowing You more and applying the timeless truths of Scripture to my life. When I experience opposition or confusion in this journey, give me the strength to seek wise counsel and continue in Your ways. I love You, Lord. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More?

The world offers a cheap imitation of love, but God has something far better for each of us: His kind of love. Join Andrew Wommack as he teaches from 1 Corinthians 13, revealing how God's love is unlike anything found in the world.

John shares how his journey with his nonverbal son, who has profound autism, ultimately brought him to faith in Jesus Christ.Raised in a culturally Catholic home, John later explored other spiritual paths but remained disconnected from biblical Christianity. When disability-related challenges affected his marriage, finances, career, and family life, John realized that he needed more than reassuring words—he needed genuine community, practical support, and lasting hope.That search led him to a Christian men's group, where believers welcomed him, listened to his struggles, and prayed for him. On one unforgettable stormy night in 2012, John surrendered his life to Jesus.John also discusses his memoir, Faith Like My Father, and the surprising significance of two words repeatedly spoken by his earthly father: “Don't panic.” Years later, while hearing a message based on Jesus' teaching about worry in the Sermon on the Mount, John finally understood those words. That revelation helped him release years of anger and forgive his father.In this conversation, you will hear about:• Raising a child with profound autism and significant support needs• Finding Christ during the lowest season of John's life• Why Christian community must offer more than comforting words• The Church's responsibility to welcome and support people with disabilities• John's work in disability advocacy and disability ministry• Trusting God when faith does not immediately remove life's problems• Remaining obedient through divorce, single parenthood, and uncertainty• Overcoming anger before it becomes deeply rooted bitterness• Forgiving those who have wounded us• Recognizing God's providence in painful circumstances• The message behind John's memoir, Faith Like My FatherJohn's testimony reminds us that following Jesus does not mean every problem disappears. It means we no longer face our problems alone. God remains present, orders our steps, and can use even our most painful experiences for His redemptive purposes.If you are walking through a valley, caring for someone with a disability, struggling with anger, or wondering where God is in your circumstances, John's story will encourage you to keep seeking Christ and refuse to panic.Connect with John Fela and learn more about Faith Like My Father:https://johnfela.comKeywordsJohn Fela, Faith Like My Father, TS Wright, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, disability ministry, disability advocacy, autism ministry, profound autism, severe autism, nonverbal autism, special needs parenting, Christian parenting, fathers of children with disabilities, Christian testimony, finding faith in Jesus, faith during trials, trusting God in crisis, Christian forgiveness, overcoming anger, healing from bitterness, God's providence, Christian obedience, spiritual perseverance, Christian community, inclusive church, special needs ministry, Joni and Friends, Key Ministry, Sermon on the Mount, don't panic, hope in Jesus, faith through suffering

Fear is a control mechanism. Governments know it. The enemy knows it. And right now it hangs thick in the air. Grant Pemberton returns to Blurry Creatures to name the thing paralyzing the church and hand you the tools to break it. He walks through 2 Timothy, the power packed into the word dunamis, and why scripture commands us not to fear more than 150 times. Fear is not just a feeling. It is a scarecrow standing in a field full of food, and most of us spend our whole lives avoiding the harvest. Grant pastors in Franklin and works deliverance on the front lines, so he deals in stories rather than theory. Witch covens. Healings. The deliverance that erupted at a BlurryCon lunch. He also refuses to sell you an easy gospel. He talks honestly about the prayers that go unanswered, the people who don't get healed this side of heaven, and why he keeps getting back up anyway. Christianity is not a death cult. It is a hope cult, and the kingdom is at hand right now. Hear the whole thing at blurrycreatures.com/members. This episode is just the beginning.

The world offers a cheap imitation of love, but God has something far better for each of us: His kind of love. Join Andrew Wommack as he teaches from 1 Corinthians 13, revealing how God's love is unlike anything found in the world.

A listener asks Dr. William Lane Craig how Christianity's dependence on a historical resurrection (unlike Hinduism's Krishna) can be defended, then raises three questions that arise in evangelism: that "eternal life" can't be historically verified, that the NT accounts were written too late to trust, and that no clear OT prophecy points to a risen Messiah. Dr. Craig affirms Anil's core insight, that Christianity's rootedness in history is a strength, not a weakness, while showing that the empty tomb, appearances, and disciples' transformation are historically well-attested, that historians still trust ancient biographies (like those of Alexander the Great) written centuries after their subjects' deaths, and that the disciples' unexpected belief in the resurrection is itself evidence for it, precisely because it ran against Jewish expectations.

Donald recounts growing up in a Carolina cotton-mill family where poverty, limited opportunities, and generational expectations could have determined the course of his life.Although Donald was discouraged from attending college and told that he did not have the money, family background, or ability to succeed, he refused to let other people define his future. Instead, he sought God's direction, pursued his education, and broke a longstanding generational cycle.Donald also reflects on the powerful Christian influence of his parents and grandfathers. Their prayers, worship, and faithful example showed him that following Christ involves more than what we say in church—it must be demonstrated through the way we live.Donald and TS discuss:• Receiving Jesus Christ at an early age• Developing a personal faith instead of relying on a family tradition• Growing up in a Carolina cotton-mill community• Breaking generational cycles of poverty and limitation• Overcoming discouraging words and expectations• The influence of praying parents and grandparents• Why children need to see an authentic Christian example• Discovering and following God's plan for your life• The importance of Christian discipleship• Donald's book, Born of Nothing• The stories behind his original gospel songs• Finding hope in the promise of seeing Christian loved ones againDonald's message is simple but powerful: Do not allow other people to dictate where you will end up.

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work. https://pegsandjokers.ca/ https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875   In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features. Key topics In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon. The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners. Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity. The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Darren Grimes and Graham Dunlop launch their new Grimoire platform, a global book club built around 250 plus professionally narrated audiobooks, lunar-cycle book picks, and community participation. They also demo a new online Pegs and Jokers game, whil e walking through the shelves of the library and explaining how free access, founder memberships, and the inner sanctum work. https://pegsandjokers.ca/ https://www.skool.com/the-secret-teachings-book-club-1875   In this episode, Darren and Graham cover the launch setup, the membership model, and the structure of the new book club. They also preview the first book of the month, discuss how the shelves are organized, and share the thinking behind the game and the community features. Key topics In this episode: the Grimoire launches with more than 250 audiobooks, with the library expected to grow to around 260 soon. The free book of the month is The Secret Teachings of All Ages in an abridged edition, chosen because starting with the full 36 hour version would be too much for most listeners. Founder keeper and monthly initiate memberships unlock the full library, while the free tier gives access to the monthly featured book and community activity. The book club is organized around lunar cycles, with a new moon monthly pick and a full moon live read, creating a rhythm of one book per moon month. The community model includes chapter check-ins, passage discussions, Friday tangents, and a final live book council in the last week of each book month. Darren and Graham describe the inner sanctum as a deeper, earned area of the platform, accessible through participation rather than payment alone. The shelves span Hermetica and occult, theosophy, mysticism east and west, Atlantis and Fortiana, mind and prosperity, weird fiction, philosophy and classics, magic, and power and propaganda. They highlight standout titles such as The Purple Cloud, The Machine Stops, Atlantis by Ignatius Donnelly, The Book of Thoth, Psychic Self-Defense, The Power of Positive Thinking, and The Road to Serfdom. Graham demos Pegs and Jokers, explaining how the online version works, how the cards move pieces, and why it is meant to be played with friends and family across locations. They mention the platform is still being cleaned up and reorganized, including moving some books between shelves and adding PDFs and other support material.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Sometimes I wish it were in my power to get every church youth group in America to go on a missions trip. Something unusual happens when some all-American kids suddenly get plunged into another culture to do some work in Jesus' name. It does something for the people they go to help, but I think it does more for the kids who are doing the helping. I heard a local youth group report on their trip to Mexico. Basically they had all of their support stripped away from them while they were there. It was a language they weren't accustomed to, the money was different, they didn't have the comforts they were used to, they had some spiders hanging over them as they slept at night which they for the most part don't have at home. They had unfamiliar food. The customs were things they weren't used to. The result on these mission trips is pretty predictable. All of a sudden, kids who never have devotions are up early in the morning on a rock with a Bible somewhere. Kids who have always thought prayer was boring are saying, "Let's pray!" What they learn several thousand miles from home is something you may need to learn right where you are today. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "Desperate for An Answer." Our word for today from the Word of God comes from Matthew 5:6. You might recognize this as being in what's called The Beatitudes, Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. He says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." I think Jesus is describing spiritual health here in terms similar to what we do when we talk about physical health - appetite. How's your appetite? And He is talking about people who say, "I'm hungry for the Lord; I'm thirsty for the Lord. I need more of You, Lord. I need You!" Those kids on that missionary trip are learning a valuable lesson. With all of their usual dependencies stripped away, they find out that you know the Lord when you need the Lord. Maybe that's why third-world Christians have so much more power in their lives, and have so much more revival in their experience than we do. They don't have all of the props we do, and it seems that those who know the Lord the best are those who need Him the most. We dig deeply into the Lord when the bottom drops out. I'm sure you have. I have. And then, once things have stabilized, we tend to return to our old props. We tend to return to a casual Christianity instead of this desperately dependent but very rich faith. The fact is we desperately need the Lord every day, not just when the bottom drops out. We're as needy as the people in the third world. We shouldn't be confused because we've got internet, and movies, and concerts, and church services, and homes and all these other support structures. We just don't cling to Him because we're surrounded by so many other resources. Do we have to wait for all our resources to be stripped away before we learn how much we need our Lord? Do we have to be starving to death before we get to be hungry for more of Him? "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. They will be filled." See what we're missing because we haven't acknowledged how much we need Him? Even now, why don't you ask the Lord (it's kind of a strange prayer), "Lord, make me desperate for You." He'd rather do it without trauma and without tragedy. Ask Him to give you a new hour-by-hour sense of your desperate need for Him; an hour-by-hour dependency; the child on his Heavenly Father. And then live today as if God is your only hope, not just one of your many resources. When you need the Lord desperately, you get to know Him deeply.

Have you ever pondered what it means to be ‘born again' as a Christian believer?When we give our hearts to the Lord, asking Him to forgive our sins and guide our lives, we are making God a promise: we no longer claim the right to follow our own paths or to focus on our own agendas.We are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ, shed on the cross on our behalf so that we can be forgiven and live with the Lord for all eternity, when our temporary earthly lives are over.In Romans 14:8, the Apostle Paul says, “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.”When we profess our faith as Christian believers, we are saying we will live for the Lord, and we will die for Him as well. Living or dead, our souls belong to the Savior. As believers living for the Lord, this means we will make choices that honor Him and ultimately serve His goals and plans. We will ever and always belong to the Lord. Understanding that should impact how we view every choice we make, and how we tackle every challenge.Let's pray.Dear Lord, we give you everything. Our choices, our actions, and our reactions. We ask for clarity in the decisions we make, and that you make us ever dependent on your wisdom and your perfect plan. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

Since the 1980s, the Republican Party has increasingly been associated with Christianity, while the Democratic Party has distanced itself from religious rhetoric to be more inclusive. But is that changing? This year, a surprising number of pastors are running for Congress as Democrats, and they are not shy about infusing their campaigns with faith. Republicans eager to protect their brand are fighting back by calling these progressive clergy candidates "PINOs"—Pastors in Name Only. In related news, Ryan Burge reveals surprising data about the political views of mainline ministers. Kaitlyn interviews counterterrorism expert Elizabeth Neumann about the rise of political violence, how the threats in the U.S. are changing, and how churches can be part of the solution. Also this week—the world's slowest concert reaches a milestone.   Holy Post Plus: Getting Schooled - Aliens 101: https://holypost.substack.com/p/getting-schooled-aliens-101?r=35kf51&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web   0:00 - Show Starts 1:30 - Theme Song 1:52 - Sponsor - AG1 - Heavily researched, thoroughly purity-tested, and filled with stuff you need.

With Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey bringing Homer's ancient epic back into the spotlight, Cultish sits down with Professor Owen Anderson to explore what lies beneath the gods, monsters, and legendary hero's journey. From the polytheistic world of Homer to the deeper spiritual ideas that have shaped Western storytelling, the conversation asks whether Nolan is simply adapting a pagan classic—or transforming it into something very different.  What if Odysseus' greatest enemy isn't Poseidon, the Cyclops, or the journey home—but his own sin?  And what if this ancient pagan story ultimately points toward something the Greek gods could never provide: redemption?    The conversation explores the striking contrast between the traditional pagan hero's journey and what Professor Anderson describes as a distinctly Christian arc of sin, confession, sacrifice, and redemption. Along the way, the episode examines Greek mythology, the biblical worldview, the spiritual reality behind pagan gods, and the enduring influence Christianity has had on the way the Western world understands stories like The Odyssey.

John talks about the bizarre revelation that Donald Trump was whisked away in a catering truck to escape an assassination plot. He critiques the expendability of certain White House staff members left behind during this covert operation. He then shifts gears to discuss the recent midterm primaries, highlighting the ideological and generational divides within the Democratic Party. With a focus on the outcomes from South Carolina, Minnesota, and Connecticut, John examines how candidates like Darline Graham, Peggy Flanagan, and Luke Bronin are reshaping the political landscape.Then joining John, is Emily Cherniak, founder and executive director of New Politics. They discuss the significance of servant leadership in politics, the importance of candidate preparation, and the lessons learned from recent primary elections. Emily shares insights on how to identify political talent and the challenges that come with uniting the left and center within the Democratic Party. The conversation touches on the crucial need for leaders who prioritize community service over personal ambition, and how this philosophy can lead to more effective governance.Next, John welcomes back the esteemed Reverend Barry Lynn, a longtime civil liberties lawyer and activist, to the show. They delve into the ongoing civil war within the Democratic Party, examining the tensions between establishment Democrats and the rising influence of Democratic Socialists. They discuss the historical context of the Equal Access Act and how Reverend Lynn's activism transformed a potentially harmful statute into a vehicle for promoting inclusivity in schools. They also reflect on the irony of the religious right leveraging this legislation to establish clubs that ultimately support marginalized groups, such as gay-straight alliances.Then, John engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Nikki Porcher, a U.S. Air Force veteran and the Democratic nominee for Georgia Labor Commissioner. Nikki shares her inspiring journey from a technical trade high school to military service, and ultimately to advocating for labor rights and economic opportunities for all Georgians. She discusses her nonprofit organization, Buy From Black Women, which has empowered underserved entrepreneurs and generated over $6 million in revenue.And finally, John brings back the dynamic duo of Dillon Naber Cruz and Pastor December Rose AKA The God Squad, who bring their unique perspectives on progressive Christianity and the alarming rise of authoritarianism within the faith community. They engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the implications of recent political maneuvers, including the push for stricter abortion laws and the relationship between the Trump administration and its evangelical supporters. Dillon's latest Substack piece, "Let's Get Biblically Literal: Abortion Edition," sparks a lively debate about the biblical interpretations used to justify anti-abortion stances.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fr. Mike takes us through the last chapter of Isaiah by explaining how our emotions can sometimes get in the way of us responding well to those around us. This means mourning with those who mourn, and rejoicing with those who rejoice, as Isaiah teaches us in preparation for the coming of Christ. Today's readings are Isaiah 66, Ezekiel 25-26, and Proverbs 14:1-4. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Jase heads into deep-blue territory expecting one thing and finds thousands of people who don't fit the political stereotype, sparking a conversation about Christianity's tendency to thrive under pressure. Kyle Thompson, host of “Undaunted Life” and “The Daily Blade,” joins the guys to confront the male loneliness crisis that leaves too many men surrounded by buddies but without anyone they can truly call when life falls apart.
