Today's episode of the Build Your Brave podcast is one of the most vulnerable yet. After an unexpected season of deep personal loss, Megan opens up about walking through grief while still showing up as a mom, a leader, and hope dealer. She shares how Isaiah 43 has anchored her heart and why putting on a garment of praise is a deliberate choice, not a feeling. If you've ever wondered where God is in your pain, how to hold onto His promises when life looks nothing like you expected, or whether it's possible to keep believing when your faith is tested, this episode is for you.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why we celebrate celebrity engagements as though they were family events? Why devoted fans camp outside venues for days, or why political disagreements turn into vicious personal attacks? The answer lies in understanding three fundamental human needs that drive our behavior in ways we rarely recognize.Your brain is hardwired to believe that without love, safety, and belonging, you will not survive. This isn't just psychological theory—it's neurobiological reality. When these needs go unmet, our survival brain kicks into high gear, creating a desperate search for fulfillment that can lead us to some surprising places. From Taylor Swift fandom to political tribalism, from gym memberships to harmful addictions, we're constantly seeking substitutes for what our souls truly crave.In this revealing episode, we explore how celebrities like Taylor Swift have mastered the art of appearing to meet these needs, creating powerful emotional connections with fans who feel like part of her extended family. But there's danger in this misplaced devotion. Our nervous systems can't distinguish between true fulfillment and counterfeit comfort—they only recognize temporary relief. That's why fandom can feel like a matter of life and death, and why we'll fight to defend our chosen tribes even when logic suggests otherwise.What if there's a more fulfilling way to meet these essential needs? What if you could stop scrambling for scraps of love, safety, and belonging and connect with their true source? This episode offers an invitation to get curious about where you're seeking substitutes in your own life and how you might find authentic fulfillment instead. Because you weren't designed to worship people who put their pants on exactly the same way you do—you were made for something much more profound.Take a moment this week to reflect on what's truly worthy of your devotion. Your nervous system might insist these substitutes are essential for survival, but your soul knows better.

Paul tells Timothy to cling to his faith and keep a clear conscience. This tells me that there was something Timothy had to do which is contrary to teaching that is happening in many churches today that say, “There is nothing you to be saved. It is beyond your control.” If that is the case, why would Paul command Timothy these things? And not only that, Paul gives examples of men whom he threw out of the church in Ephesus because they violated their conscience and taught false doctrine! Do you have a clean conscience?

How Can We Each Contribute to the Health of Our Church? (Christian Conduct Series)

Christian Questions Bible Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 25, 2025


According to the New Testament, Christians are instructed to work together as a community. Even more than that, we are instructed to care for one another as a family, humbly serve one another and protect one another as soldiers in battle - even to the point of being willing to sacrifice ourselves. All of this is to be put in place while we each are dedicated to following the clear and godly teachings of Jesus in Scripture. So, how do we go about making all of this happen? In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, he gives us a list of practical ways we should take care of one another. While this list is not comprehensive, it alerts us to several of the foundational principles of sound Christian conduct. This episode of our Christian Conduct Series focuses on how each believer can actively contribute to the health of their church community. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:12–15, we can see the Apostle Paul lays out a blueprint for mutual care, beginning with honoring spiritual leaders and extending to everyday interactions within the body of Christ. These instructions aren't just ideals—they're actionable steps rooted in humility, empathy and discipleship. Paul's list includes five key responsibilities that shape a spiritually vibrant church. Each of these reflects the character of Christ and reinforces the interdependence of believers. A major foundational point here is that these contributions are not optional niceties but essential disciplines for anyone seeking to live out their faith within the Christian community. Key Contributions to a Healthy Church • Admonish the unruly: Gently correct those who are out of step with Christian principles, aiming for restoration—not shame. • Encourage the fainthearted: Comfort those who are timid, anxious, or overwhelmed with emotional and spiritual support. • Help the weak: Cling to and support those who lack strength—physically, morally, or spiritually—through loyal, spiritually based companionship. • Be patient with everyone: Practice forbearance by restraining reactive impulses and allowing space for small steps of growth. • Seek good for all: Reject retaliation and pursue what benefits others, modeling the selfless love of Jesus. By living these principles, we can create a healthy church with a culture of compassion, accountability and spiritual resilience. The message is clear: mutual contribution isn't just about helping others—it's about embodying Christ in every relationship.

August 15, 2025Today's Reading: Luke 1:(39-45) 46-55Daily Lectionary: 2 Samuel 5:1-25; 1 Corinthians 8:1-13“And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.” (Luke 1:50)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Mary sings with hope. Over a short period of time, she has been visited by an angel, told she would carry a baby, told that this baby is the Son of God, trusted the announcement in faith, learned that her barren relative Elizabeth is also carrying a child, rushed to see her relative Elizabeth, and received a loving greeting to and about her and her child. This is a lot. And yet, when her next words are recorded, they are a song of praise and are steeped in trust and hope. I'm going to be honest. Had this same situation occurred to me, I can't be sure I would react the same. (Anxious? Me? Yep). It really seems like too much. An angel visits, and from Biblical descriptions, that is a terrifying sight. The message she receives does not seem reasonable. She's engaged and yet pregnant, but didn't break her promise to Joseph. This seems like an unmanageable situation. What will people think? How can I be the right person for this task? What do I know about being a mom? And yet, Mary responds in faith and trust. Mary gives all glory to God. She sings in faith and focuses on God's promises and mercy. She believes, even as she carries this little baby boy, that He will do as God's Word has promised. Mary was a sinner. We will see over the course of Jesus' life that she does not do motherhood perfectly. And yet, in faith, she clung to the promises that are for her, too. She is shown mercy. She is indeed blessed. We get to rejoice alongside Mary that God had a perfect plan and did indeed keep His promises. We get to be fellow redeemed sinners who sing about and cling to hope. Jesus, her Son and her Lord, is our Brother and Lord. We were indeed buried with Him in Death and raised with Him in His Resurrection; all that He accomplished, He gives to us. In our Baptism, we are connected to Jesus and are brought into God's family. We, generations after Mary, are indeed shown mercy. Thanks be to God for His perfect plan. Thanks be to God for using His people, including Mary, to fulfill His plan for the salvation of the whole world. Thanks be to God that He uses you to love and care for the neighbors you have. Cling to hope. Live in God's mercy for you. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Oh, how great is Your compassion, Faithful Father, God of grace, That with all our fallen race In our depth of degradation You had mercy so that we Might be saved eternally! (LSB 559:1) Deac.

In this thoughtful episode of the Homeopathy 247 podcast, Mary Greensmith welcomes homeopath Barbara Hanachova to explore the remedy Baryta Carbonica. Known for its gentleness and emotional support, Baryta Carbonica is a favourite of Barbara's—particularly for children with developmental delays, autism, anxiety, and extreme shyness. Why Baryta Carbonica? Barbara shares that she frequently uses this remedy when working with children with complex needs—those who may have autism, ADHD, eczema, or other developmental challenges. Baryta Carbonica, she explains, is like a “little cloud” gently carrying a timid child, helping them feel safe, supported, and a little more confident. While not always a deep constitutional remedy, it's often used at the beginning of a child's homoeopathic journey. As an opening remedy, it can reveal deeper layers, making way for more targeted treatment later. A Remedy for Shyness, Delays & Emotional Insecurity Children who benefit from Baryta Carbonica are typically shy, sensitive, and fearful of the outside world. They may: Be developmentally delayed—late to walk, talk, or meet milestones Show social anxiety and avoid unfamiliar places Cling to parents, especially mum, and resist going out or visiting new environments React strongly to loud noises like hand dryers or hoovers Become anxious if taken out of familiar surroundings Barbara describes how Baryta Carbonica gently helps these children “step outside their shell,” increasing confidence and emotional resilience in subtle, but significant ways. Not Just for Kids – Elderly and Adults Too While the remedy is often used for children, Barbara notes that it can also support older children and adults. In the elderly, Baryta Carbonica may be helpful in cases of cognitive decline, such as dementia, when adults start to show childlike behaviours or lose confidence in themselves. This shows the versatility of Baryta Carbonica—not just a remedy for young children, but also for the young at heart, or those whose confidence has diminished over time. Case Example: Real Change Through Homoeopathy Barbara shares a touching case of a non-verbal six-year-old girl who was highly sensitive to noise and emotionally attached to her mum. After taking Baryta Carbonica for just a few weeks, the girl began showing signs of independence, was more willing to go out, and even became more sociable at school. Teachers noticed she was “coming out of her shell”—playing more, engaging with classmates, and navigating the school day with greater ease. A Holistic View – Treating the Family Too Barbara explains that treating a child often means working with the whole family. For children with autism or other complex conditions, she always starts by asking parents what their biggest challenge is, and then gradually peels back the layers. She also treats parents—especially mothers—whose emotional health can directly impact their children. Issues like unprocessed trauma or chronic stress can influence the child's development, so addressing both can lead to significant improvements in the whole family's wellbeing. Gut Health, Sensitivities & Lifestyle Factors In her holistic approach, Barbara considers gut health, diet, lifestyle, and environmental toxins. Many children she treats are extremely sensitive—to food textures, loud sounds, clothing, or even household chemicals. Healing the gut and reducing triggers can help children become more emotionally and physically balanced. Barbara beautifully sums up Baryta Carbonica as a remedy that gently supports the child until they're ready to lead the way. It doesn't force change but allows the child to open up at their own pace. Whether for a shy child, an overwhelmed parent, or an elderly person in decline, this homoeopathic remedy offers quiet, transformative strength.

Send us a textIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches us to honor God and man. Romans 1:2121 Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn't worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused.John 3:1616 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave[a] his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.James 4:88 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.Proverbs 3:99 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.1 Corinthians 6:18-2018 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. 19  Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20  For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.Colossians 4:2 Colossians 4:22 Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving;Colossians 4:5-65 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.John 15:12 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.1 Peter 2:1717 Respect everyone, and love the family of believers…1 Samuel 2:30 30…for those who honor Me I will honor,…Revelation 4:11 11“You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”Romans 12:9-139 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor (hate)what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.Matthew 22:37-3937 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

Have you ever considered just how far the enemy will go to pull you away from God? Deuteronomy chapter 13 is a powerful warning—and a loving call to vigilance. It reminds us that our relationship with God is not only precious, it's worth protecting. From false prophets to familiar voices, anything that draws us away from God is a tool of the enemy. This chapter opens with a warning: deception can come from anywhere, even from those closest to us. But God's message is clear—don't listen. Don't follow. Cling to Him. Walk after Him. Fear Him. Obey His voice. Serve Him. Love Him with all your heart and soul. God's instructions to the Israelites may seem extreme, but they point to a truth we still need today: the devil is working hard to distract and destroy, but God is calling us to walk faithfully and fully with Him. Sometimes, that means removing things from our lives—even things that seem harmless or valuable—if they're pulling our hearts away from Christ. Join us for this episode of the Woman at the Well Ministries podcast as Erika Klose teaches from Deuteronomy chapter 13, focusing on verse 4: “ Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” Let's talk about guarding our hearts, cleaning our spiritual house, and holding tightly to the One who loves us most. Because obedience isn't just about saying no to sin—it's about saying yes to a relationship with the living God. Did you enjoy this podcast? Post a review and share it!

Delight Your Marriage | Relationship Advice, Christianity, & Sexual Intimacy

Marriage is one of the greatest blessings — and one of the greatest refining processes — we can experience. But if we're honest, many of us carry regrets when it comes to how we've treated our spouse, how we've handled conflict, or the words we've spoken in frustration. We don't always recognize how often harshness sneaks into our marriage, chipping away at intimacy, connection, and joy. But here's the good news: God's love can heal, restore, and transform even the most regret-filled moments in your relationship. In a recent conversation with author and speaker Rhonda Stoppe, we unpacked the profound truth of living with "no regrets" in marriage — and the practical steps to get there. You Can Break Free From the Regrets Holding You Back Let's be honest — we've all made mistakes in marriage, in parenting, in life. Those regrets? They can paralyze us. Rhonda reminded us that regret is often a weapon the enemy uses to keep us from becoming the women God designed us to be. But here's the truth — God's love washes those regrets away. Philippians tells us to “forget what lies behind and strain toward what lies ahead.” Even Paul had to lay his past down — his role in Stephen's death, his persecution of believers — yet God still used him powerfully. The same is true for you. Whether your regrets stem from the way you've treated your spouse, parenting mistakes, or deep wounds from your own upbringing, you are not disqualified from God's call on your life. The Destructive Power of Harshness in Marriage Rhonda unpacked something so practical yet so convicting: how often our inner thoughts turn harsh long before words ever leave our mouth. Ever had the entire argument with your husband in your head before he even walked through the door? I've been there! You play out the "you always" or "you never" narrative and boom — your harsh words fly the second he steps inside. But as Rhonda beautifully reminded us, love "believes all things" (1 Corinthians 13). That means believing the best about our spouse — assuming good intentions — not assigning negative motives. Harshness can destroy intimacy faster than almost anything else. It pushes our husband away emotionally. It makes our home a place he — and even our children — dread coming back to. The Courage to Repent: Humility Over Pride This hit me hard. Rhonda shared how pride keeps so many people from growth. It's painful to look back and realize we've done things wrong for so long. But friend, God already knows it all — and still loves you. When we confess, repent, and humble ourselves before Him, He transforms us from the inside out. David's story is such an example. After his sin with Bathsheba, he didn't make excuses. He repented with a broken, contrite heart — and God restored him. If harshness, selfishness, or regret has gripped your heart, your story isn't over. God offers freedom, but it starts with humility. Are You a Harsh Spouse? How to Recognize & Change Harshness is sneaky. Many of us don't even recognize when it's become part of our communication. Rhonda described it as trying to control or hurt with your words to get your way — whether out of fear, frustration, or habit. Here are some signs of harshness in marriage: You regularly raise your voice or speak with a biting tone. Your family feels like they have to walk on eggshells around you. You replay your spouse's flaws in your mind more than their strengths. You assume negative motives for your spouse's actions. If that's you — take heart! You can change. It starts with repentance, inviting God's Spirit to wash over you, and intentionally building new habits. Building a No-Regrets Marriage: Practical Next Steps Rhonda didn't just leave us with conviction — she gave such hopeful steps forward: Get in the Word Daily God's Word renews your mind. Listen to scripture, write it out, feast on His promises like daily bread. Find Godly Community You need women around you who love Jesus and will speak truth in love — especially older, wise women. (#OldLadiesKnowStuff — I love that!) Choose to Believe the Best Make it a practice to assume good about your spouse. Remember how you did that when you were dating? Let's bring that mindset back! Apologize & Repair If your harshness has caused damage — humbly ask for forgiveness. Your vulnerability can open doors for healing, even if it takes time. Cling to God's Love First Your happiness isn't dependent on your husband's actions — it's rooted in how deeply you believe God's love for you. The Legacy You Build Starts Today I adored Rhonda's reminder that the home we build today — with love, forgiveness, humility — shapes our children's future marriages and their walk with God. You don't want to look back with regret because of harshness or pride. But even if that's part of your story, God's grace offers a reset, starting today. We are rooting for you! May God's kind heart move your own heart to kindness today. God bless you! With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - If you'd like to check out more of Rhonda's resources (She's great, isn't she?!), podcast, and books, please visit her website: https://www.rhondastoppe.com/ PPS - If the thought of being 'the harsh spouse' made you tense up in defense ("That isn't me! Besides, I wouldn't be harsh if x, y, z...") or made you tear up knowing that it's true, we invite you to a book a free Clarity Call. Kindness, patience, gentleness, and love CAN be the first response. Your marriage does not have to be filled with criticism and harshness. Your home can be light and joyful. Let us help you. We'd love to chat: delightyourmarriage.com/cc PPPS - Here is a quote from a recent graduate: "Although on the surface, I would persuade myself I was ok, and that I was doing a good job as a husband, I knew deep down that something was wrong. My wife, though kindly and friendly (she is a lovely soul, who genuinely looks after my best interests), seemed apathetic to me at times, or unnecessarily critical...Completely unintentionally I had made my wife feel ignored, not attended to, and taken for granted… Communication was generally businesslike rather than affectionate. …As the program has gone on, huge strides have been made in our marriage. We now spend quality time together most meal times, we've started going out on dates again, we are much more playful than before and we enjoy being with each other. Most importantly, my wife has relaxed, she's begun to trust me, and her true bubbly self is coming out into the open."
