Podcasts about closed doors

In this powerful lecture, we share the four essential keys to help overcome life's challenges and unlock closed doors.

There are often doors we try to open but God closes, but when God opens a door nobody can shut it. Pastor Larry Lucas, who is the newly installed pastor at Bethel Reformed Methodist in Covington Louisian, joins the podcast to talk about his journey with open and closed doors.

In this powerful episode, we explore the emotional and often unseen journey of a mother's love. Sheryl Marazzo is a force of nature—fierce, steady, and filled with a bright hope. Living a life woven with heartbreak and tragedy, her resilience and sheer will drove her to find happiness and peace right alongside the unimaginable. As a mom to three children—one living with a rare disease, one a rare disease carrier, and one battling addiction—she brings honesty, humor, and deep heart to a conversation about survival, sacrifice, and the unexpected ways we figure out how to keep going. A long-time advocate and nonprofit founder, Sheryl's story is framed by Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but beyond labels and medical conditions, hers is simply a story about being fully human.

The post Breaking Through Closed Doors appeared first on ENCOUNTER.

Sometimes God's greatest guidance comes through His "No." In Acts 16, Paul and his team faced closed doors—not as setbacks, but as redirections toward something greater. This sermon will help you recognize that every closed door is often a setup for a clearer call and a greater purpose.

Have you ever faced a closed door—a job opportunity lost, a relationship that ended, or a dream that didn't come to pass? It's in these moments we ask, Why, God? But what if that closed door is actually God's way of guiding you to something greater?Our springboard for today's discussion is: Proverbs 16:9—"The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."We often have our plans mapped out, thinking we know what's best. Yet, when God closes a door, it's not to harm us but to redirect us. Consider Joseph—betrayed, enslaved, imprisoned. Each closed door in his life seemed like a setback, but in reality, God was positioning him for something extraordinary.Maybe you've experienced the sting of rejection or the frustration of plans falling apart. But God's “no” is never without purpose. It could be protection from unseen danger, preparation for a better opportunity, or a test of faith. Closed doors force us to lean on Him, to trust that He sees what we cannot. When one door shuts, another opens—on His terms, in His timing.Question of the Day: How has a closed door in your life led to something better?Let's Pray: Lord, help us trust You when doors close. Remind us that Your ways are higher, and Your plans are perfect. Give us faith to walk forward, knowing You are guiding our steps.

Have you ever faced a situation where every door seemed to slam shut, or an unexpected opportunity appeared out of nowhere? These moments aren't random—they're part of God's divine plan.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Revelation 3:8—"I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut."Jesus spoke these words to the church in Philadelphia, reminding them that His guidance is sovereign. He opens doors no one can close and closes doors no one can force open. Understanding this principle is key to walking in faith and confidence.God often closes doors to protect us from paths that aren't meant for us. It might be a job we didn't get, a relationship that ended, or an opportunity that fell through. In the moment, it may feel like rejection, but in reality, it's redirection. When a door shuts, it's not the end—it's an invitation to trust that God has something better ahead.At the same time, when God opens a door, it requires faith to step through. Many times, fear, doubt, or comfort zones keep us from embracing new opportunities. But if God has opened the door, He will provide everything needed to walk through it.Question of the Day: Is there a door in your life that God might be closing or opening? How will you respond?Let's Pray: Lord, help us trust You when doors close and have the courage to step forward when You open new ones. Give us wisdom and discernment to follow Your lead.

Welcome, Warriors, to The Power of God's Whisper Podcast. Have you ever prayed for something with all your heart, only to be met with silence—or worse, a firm "no" from God? It's a tough reality, but what if God's refusal is actually His mercy in disguise?Our springboard for today's discussion is: 2 Corinthians 12:9 – "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'"Paul, one of the greatest champions of faith, prayed earnestly for his "thorn" to be removed. But God's answer wasn't deliverance—it was grace. Sometimes, God's "no" is His way of shifting our focus from what we think we need to what He knows is best.When we face closed doors, we often assume God is withholding something good. But in reality, He is protecting, redirecting, and refining us. A denied request isn't a sign of His absence—it's proof of His deeper plan. Consider Joseph: betrayed by his brothers, falsely accused, and imprisoned. He could have thought God had abandoned him. But every setback was actually a setup for his destiny—to save a nation.Trusting God when He says "no" means believing His wisdom surpasses our own. When one door closes, another—better—one will open. Even if we don't understand in the moment, we can rest in the truth that His grace is always enough.Question of the Day: What is one closed door in your life that may actually be a blessing in disguise?Let's Pray: Lord, help us to trust You when the answer isn't what we hoped for. Teach us to rely on Your grace, knowing that Your plans are always for our good. Give us faith to embrace Your redirection and walk in peace, even in disappointment.

Imagine opening your home to your mother-in-law—a woman who's been a force in your spouse's life but, let's be honest, isn't exactly your cup of tea. Would you do it? Could you do it? That's the dilemma a listener is facing after their “monster” mother-in-law announced she needs a place to stay.In this episode, Niall explores what happens when family duty collides with personal space. Is welcoming an aging in-law an act of love or a recipe for disaster? Some argue that taking care of family—no matter how challenging—should be a given, while others believe marriage thrives best when in-laws maintain a healthy distance.Callers share their experiences, some championing the idea of making room for the mother-in-law, emphasizing loyalty, gratitude, and even financial benefits. Others, however, paint a different picture—of meddling, constant conflict, and strained marriages. Nursing homes, granny flats, and firm boundaries all enter the debate as possible solutions.Is this kind of sacrifice necessary, or does it lead to resentment? How do you balance care with self-preservation? And most importantly—how do you survive if your mother-in-law moves in and never wants to leave?Join Niall for an honest, unfiltered conversation about family obligations, personal space, and whether bringing a mother-in-law into your home is an act of kindness… or self-sabotage.

In this episode of Because We Said So, Jess and Anissa dive into a heartfelt and hilariously real convo about life's curveballs and how they're learning to care less about the nonsense and more about what truly matters.

God has great things for you, but you may never know what those things are if you aren't praying. Maybe you want something so badly that you think going to God in pray won't make a difference.

ANNOUNCEMENT: After Christmas, we will begin a 22-year journey through the Bible. The first book is The Letter of James. The new format will be 7 days in the chapter (Daily Devo) and then one longer form of teaching from that chapter (The Vince Miller Show). It will feel like seven days of close examination of Scripture, with one high-level teaching that is practical and applicable, tying the chapter together. Also, I want you to pray that God will use this in a special way so that people everywhere will know, grow, and go in their faith, living all-in for Him. Don't force open a door that God has locked shut. Welcome to the Daily Devo. I am Vince Miller. In this chapter, we look behind enemy lines at the Philistines as they line up for battle, and David just got shut out from joining the Philistines. Let's see how he responds in 1 Samuel 29:8-9: And David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?” And Achish answered David and said, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.' — 1 Samuel 29:8-9 David is too cunning for his own good. Even his mortal enemy believes he is as blameless as an angel. The swagger, the scheming, and the strategy of this man were unmatched. He managed to stay loyal to Saul and Achish at the same time while surrounded by nothing but enemies. Now you know why he later got into trouble with Bathsheba. He was too cunning for his own good but not clever enough to pull one over on God. As I said yesterday, God had different plans for this battle. David could outstrategize everyone alive, but he wasn't about to outstrategize God. In moments like this, we need to recognize God's sovereignty at work instead of trying to force our own strategies. David's cunning may have kept him alive and in Achish's good graces, but it wasn't enough to override God's plan. Achish's hands were tied—not by his own authority but by the unseen hand of God, working through the Philistine commanders to keep David out of a battle he had no business fighting. Sometimes, God intervenes in ways we don't expect—or even understand. David might have felt ready to fight, but God knew the battle wasn't his to fight. If David had taken one more step, he would have forced a conflict that wasn't part of God's plan. Perhaps you've been there too—eager to step into a situation, convinced you're prepared, only to find the door slammed shut. When that happens, it can feel frustrating, but often it's God who has closed the door. Like David, you must trust that God's plans are better than your strategies. Even when you feel capable and confident in your abilities, remember that God sees what you cannot. He knows which battles will grow you and which ones could destroy you. So today, take a moment to reflect on the doors God has closed in your life. Instead of trying to force open a door He has locked shut, trust His sovereign protection. It's not rejection—it's redirection toward a better purpose. #TrustGod, #GodsPlan, #FaithOverStrategy Ask This: What doors in your life might God be closing for your protection or redirection? How can you trust God's plan over your strategies today? Do This: Reflect on one door God has closed and why. Pray This: Father, thank You for protecting me from battles I'm not meant to fight. Help me trust Your wisdom and follow Your direction. Amen. Play This: Every Closed Door.

In this episode of the Ps+ we join Pastor Thomas Harding to discuss a biblical framework for responding to closed doors and rejection in evangelism, Gospel ministry, and church planting. 

Today's episode is going to be your jam if you feel like right now things just don't feel like their happening on your timeline, the way you want them too or even you're feeling a little confused on why you're lacking clarity or direction. We're talking about how not all storms come into your life to disrupt your life but in fact some come to clear your path… this is one of those episodes that at the end I think you'll really feel uplifted by this high vibe perspective shift.  I can't wait to hear what you think! &&& to join our FREE podcasters community (for women WITH a podcast that want to connect with others for pod swaps/collabs etc.) check the link here: https://podcast-mastermind.circle.so/join?invitation_token=b428c5a3e0c5ca75677e46d25dc43df89637d850-dffa29ee-4355-4247-8a4d-90e5224fbca0
