An episode from Liberty Behind Bars Ministry, a ministry serving the incarcerated across America located in Belfast, New York.“I spent half of my life in and out of jails, prisons, rehabs, and other facilities.  Unfortunately, the programs that were offered did not help me to become a productive member of society, it just made me a better inmate.  What changed me, was a new life in Jesus Christ and reading/studying a King James Bible.Many prisons, jails, and other institutions have heard from many of their inmates that they are changed due to religion. However, most are seen back within the next year or two. As God gave Moses a burden for the Children of Israel, so God gave me a burden for those in jails and prisons. Churches send missionaries to foreign countries, in support, hopes and prayers, they can win the nationals to Jesus, train them and then send the nationals back to their own people. This is what Jesus has done for me. He saved me out of this life of crimes and addiction, and now sends me back to my people who are in jails/prisons, to win them to Christ and send them back to their own people.This is where Liberty Behind Bars Ministry steps in.  Not only do we minister to those behind the jail walls we help them transition into society; differently than they did in the past.  The goal is to break the cycle of recidivism and help people have a changed life in Jesus Christ.  I have my Doctorate in Christian Biblical Counseling and use this knowledge to not only help those within the jail/prison walls, but also to support their family members.

Grief is universal. But not all grief is the same.In this message from 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14, guest speaker Cornel Rasor opens with a pastoral truth that Paul made plain to the Thessalonians: Christians do not grieve as those who have no hope. The distinction isn't about grieving less—it's about grieving differently. The sorrow is real. The tears are real. But the hopelessness isn't.Rasor walks through what the Thessalonians were actually worried about: would their believing loved ones who had already died miss the glory of Christ's return? Paul's answer, grounded in the resurrection of Jesus, is a resounding no. Because Christ died and rose again, God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. The dead in Christ are not behind—they will be coming with Him.Drawing on ancient pagan epitaphs, Ecclesiastes, commentary from Leon Morris, and John 14, Rasor paints a vivid contrast between the despair of a world without resurrection hope and the settled confidence of those who know where their beloved ones are right now—and where they are going.This episode also addresses the harder question: what about loved ones whose salvation is uncertain? Rasor speaks to that grief with care and points believers back to the sovereignty, mercy, and goodness of God.For anyone carrying the weight of loss, this is a message built to hold that weight. ★ Support this podcast ★

John 15:15 reveals a deeply personal truth: Jesus doesn’t just call us followers—He calls us friends. In a world where relationships can feel fragile or conditional, His friendship stands apart. It’s steady, honest, and rooted in love that never withdraws. When loneliness creeps in or connection feels out of reach, we’re reminded that we are never truly alone. Highlights Jesus calls us friends, not just servants His friendship is personal, steady, and unconditional He sees and knows us fully—yet remains present Human relationships may fail, but Jesus never leaves True connection begins with understanding His heart for us He meets our deepest need for acceptance and belonging His presence brings comfort in seasons of loneliness Have an idea for our newsletter?

Full Transcript Below: Comforted in Our Loneliness by the Friend Who Never LeavesBy: Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. - John 15:15 NIV Do you ever struggle with building and maintaining friendships? Do you long for a relationship that feels so safe, you can express your deepest needs, doubts, sins, and fears? But also find yourself hiding those parts of you, for fear you’ll be rejected and shamed? In our broken world, filled with people who are as broken as us, it can be really hard to find those people able to stay by us in our hardest times and, perhaps, even when we act the ugliest. We all, at times, behave in ways we wish we hadn’t and that, sadly hurt or frustrate others. We will never reach perfection this side of heaven, but that doesn’t mean we’re destined to be alone. If you grew up in an environment where your needs for love, grace, and affection weren’t met, you may have come to believe that there’s something inherently wrong with you. Something that, if others knew or saw or experienced, would drive them away. And while I can’t speak for the people presently in your life—whether or not they have the emotional and spiritual maturity to work through conflict, confusion, and misunderstandings—who have the maturity to stay—I do know One who sees all of you, loves you fully, and has promised to never leave. Jesus is the friend mentioned in Proverbs 18:24 who sticks closer than a brother. When I consider His words in context, in John 15, I’m struck by the timing with which He spoke. This was on the night before His death, during a solemn and deeply painful Passover in which He told His disciples that they’d soon endure some of the most difficult experiences of their lives. Expulsion from their faith community, and all the support and comfort and connection that came with that. Slander and attack by those who viewed their commitment to Jesus as blasphemous, ungodly, and dangerous. And, potentially, death. Hard stuff. Times when they would desperately need to know they weren’t alone and that someone saw them, understood their pain, and walked with them in it. And yes, they had each other, praise God. But that wasn’t, and wouldn’t be enough—no matter how strong their relationships were with one another. They needed a perfect friend. They needed Jesus. And He gave Himself freely—to the point of death. But He didn’t stay dead. He rose from the grave as a powerful reminder that their hardship wouldn’t last forever. Glorious life, abundant and thriving life, was coming. And in the meantime, while they waited for their “faith to become sight” as. Scripture puts it—Jesus waited, fully present, with them. Intersecting Life & Faith: Pause to reflect on today’s verse for a moment, and hear this as the Lord speaking directly to you: “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” In other words, Jesus says, to you, I don’t view you as a servant—as someone who’s only role is to listen and obey. Rather, I see you as someone with whom I long to grow closer, and I choose to reveal Myself to you. No secrets. No games. No power plays. Nothing but loyal, tender, steady, and present love. He could’ve used numerous words—and at times He does. Child. One of His dependent and well-cared-for sheep. His beloved. But here, He calls you friend. What might this reveal regarding His heart for you? Regarding His understanding of your deepest needs for connection and acceptance? What does it reveal regarding how He wants to meet you in your present season? To grasp the depth of His message, perhaps consider the qualities you long for in a perfect friend. Someone who’s mentally present and emotionally available in your pain. Someone who sees the best in you, even when you blow it—and who always has your best in mind. No manipulation, strong arming, withdrawal, shaming, criticizing or condemning. Someone who celebrates your wins and comforts you in your losses. Most importantly, someone who remains. That, my friend, is who Jesus wants to be for you. Who Jesus is for you.

Hello, Beautiful...I'm so grateful you're here with me. Feeling lonely or emotionally heavy at night? This sleep meditation on the SLEEP podcast is designed to bring comfort, connection, and calm as you fall asleep.

What do you do when life pushes you beyond your limits—when the pressure is too heavy, the plans fall apart, and you're left wondering where God is in it all? In this episode, we walk through 2 Corinthians 1 and discover a powerful truth: God does not waste our suffering. He meets us in it, sustains us through it, and uses it to shape us for something greater. We'll explore how God comforts us in our affliction—not so we can simply survive, but so we can become a source of comfort to others. We'll also confront the subtle pull toward self-reliance and see why God sometimes allows us to reach the end of ourselves so we learn to depend fully on Him. As Paul addresses questions about his changed travel plans, we're reminded of something unshakable: while people may waver and circumstances may shift, God's promises never do. In Christ, every promise is “Yes.” This message challenges us to rethink suffering, embrace dependence on God, pursue a clear conscience, and anchor our lives in the faithfulness of Christ. If you're walking through a difficult season—or trying to make sense of one—this episode will help you see your struggle through a new lens and point you to the God who raises the dead.

Will You Be Comforted In Heaven by Tim GatlinMatthew 6:19-2019 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal;

Complementary Old Testament Passage: 1 Kings 19:1-8 Sermon Outline: The proclamation of Christ is powerful Beware the anti-christian power of those who have Gods Word The comfort of the Holy Spirit for those who fear the Lord Family Discussion Questions: What did Saul do before he became a Christian? How did he become a Christian? Why was the church afraid of him when he started worshiping with them? Did life get easier for Saul when he became a Christian? Why is it that Saul had greater comfort even though more people hated him? What did people try to do to Saul - and how did he escape? Why should we share the Gospel? What is the irony of the two locations where Sauls life was in danger? What makes the Gospel so powerful, and what are ways we can err in treating it as less powerful than it is? How long was it before Saul went to Jerusalem? Why does that matter? Why would Saul immediately become a preacher, even though he tells Timothy and Titus not to make a man a preacher who is a new convert? How can we grow in the strength of God - and why should we do so? What is special about the fear of the Lord that also brings the comfort of the Holy Spirit? It would be a mistake if we believed that the hatred expressed can only come from those who hold to the Old Testament. How can we escape that danger which is in ourselves?

1. They are now CONVINCED about the Resurrection 2. They are COMFORTED by the WOUNDS of the CROSS 3. They are CHEERED by this Joyus Sight 4. They are COMMISSIONED in Light of Christ's Sufferings

Why did Paul go on so long to the Corinthian Christians regarding what he had experienced?How might we display godly grief and resist worldly grief?What can we learn from how Paul encouraged the Corinthian Christians so far in 2 Corinthians?The Downcast Comforted | 2 Corinthians 7:2-16 | Paul's Second Letter to the CorinthiansOutline | ConversationMake room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have exploited no one. I do not say this to condemn you, for I told you before that you are in our hearts so that we die together and live together with you. I have great confidence in you; I take great pride on your behalf. I am filled with encouragement; I am overflowing with joy in the midst of all our suffering.For even when we came into Macedonia, our body had no rest at all, but we were troubled in every way – struggles from the outside, fears from within. But God, who encourages the downhearted, encouraged us by the arrival of Titus. We were encouraged not only by his arrival, but also by the encouragement you gave him, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your deep concern for me, so that I rejoiced more than ever. For even if I made you sad by my letter, I do not regret having written it (even though I did regret it, for I see that my letter made you sad, though only for a short time). Now I rejoice, not because you were made sad, but because you were made sad to the point of repentance. For you were made sad as God intended, so that you were not harmed in any way by us. For sadness as intended by God produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret, but worldly sadness brings about death. For see what this very thing, this sadness as God intended, has produced in you: what eagerness, what defense of yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what deep concern, what punishment! In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. So then, even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did wrong, or on account of the one who was wronged, but to reveal to you your eagerness on our behalf before God. Therefore we have been encouraged. And in addition to our own encouragement, we rejoiced even more at the joy of Titus, because all of you have refreshed his spirit. For if I have boasted to him about anything concerning you, I have not been embarrassed by you, but just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting to Titus about you has proved true as well. And his affection for you is much greater when he remembers the obedience of you all, how you welcomed him with fear and trembling. I rejoice because in everything I am fully confident in you (2 Corinthians 7:2-16).

Today’s Bible Verse: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:5 Isaiah 53:5 is one of the clearest prophetic pictures of the suffering Messiah. Long before the crucifixion of Jesus, this passage described a Savior who would bear the weight of human sin and brokenness. The suffering described here was not random—it was redemptive.

All through the Scripture, we see that our God is a God of comfort! The comfort of God is available to us when we are experiencing different kinds of loss and grief.Main Points:1. It's okay to grieve. It's okay to mourn. God created us with the ability to express these emotions. I've ministered to Christians who felt they weren't supposed to mourn or that if they were grieving, they were failing God. It's okay to grieve. It's okay to weep. God wants you to experience his comfort during your time of mourning.2. I have found that God draws especially close to me in the tough times of life.  When my heart is breaking, I find God's presence near me.3. If you are mourning, if you are grieving, lean into Jesus. Press into him through prayer and worship. Meditate on the Word of God. Reach out to a friend who can join you in your mourning.  At this moment, I believe you'll experience the blessing of God's comfort.Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 5:4 - “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”Psalm 23:4 - “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”Psalm 119:50 - “My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.”Psalm 34:18 - “The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Those who, by putting off repentance and living in their sins, lose their souls, shall, instead of having the least measure of comfort when they come into Hell, have their ill-spent life always very fresh in their remembrance! While they live here — they can sin and forget it; but when they depart — they shall have it before them; they shall have a remembrance, or their memory notably enlightened, and a clearer, and a continual sight of all their wicked practices that they wrought and did while they were in the world. 'Son, remember,' says he; then you will be made to remember:

Heidelberg Catechism Q & A 26

Today, Pastor A Dageel again finds similar messages in both the Old and New Testaments, and he shares his findings with us, that we might be blessed!

IntroductionMost things that bring us comfort are only appropriate in proper situations. For instance, a warm blanket, a favorite flannel shirt, a pair of pajamas. Each has its place. You do not wear a blanket or pajamas in public settings. You do not wear an old comfy flannel shirt to a wedding. But the Heidelberg Catechism opens with a striking claim: that there is a single comfort appropriate in every circumstance. In fact, this is a single comfort in life and in death. This raises an honest question: can any comfort truly be that universal? So we look at the claim of Heidelberg Catechism Question and Answer 1. What is our ONLY comfort in life and in death? "I Give Them..”At first glance, Christ's claim to give eternal life sounds more like an imposition than a comfort. If it's not something we opt into, is it really a gift? To answer this, the catechism points us to a hard truth: we are not neutral recipients. Like those enslaved by debt or victims of war, we are slaves. We are either slaves of sin or slaves of righteousness. We are slaves. (Romans 6:18) The catechism reminds us that Christ is a faithful savior and not a tyrannical master. It's the portrait of a redeemer who pays the debt we couldn't pay and frees us from a master, the tyranny of the devil, who sought to destroy us. We learn that the Devil's marketing pitch for Adam and Eve did not end well. It turns out that it is a good thing that Christ is overbearing, that he overwhelms us with His grace, as He gives us eternal life. This is the gift that we do not naturally want, but the gift that we need to live life to the fullest in this age. Truly, living life for Christ is the highest and greatest thing we can do rather than pursuing our own independence. "They Will Never Perish" This promise seems false. We go to Christian funerals, which means that Christians do die. Is Christ overpromising and underdelivering? When we look deeper into Scripture, we see that "perish" implies something deeper than a mere physical death. In Mark 1:24, Christ encounters demons. They cry out, inquiring if Christ is going to destroy them/perish them. To perish is to be undone, destroyed, stripped of your identity and purpose. It is much more than death. What Christ promises is that the forces that assemble against his people will not succeed. We think of our sin or the sins that tempt us outside of us. We think of Satan and his satanic army. We think of any influence that pulls us from Christ. The assurance is that we will not be undone or overcome. We will never perish."No One Can Snatch Them”We hear the promise that he knows all the numbers of the hair on our heads. This might sound creepy or overbearing. But when we read this statement in light of Christ as faithful Shepherd, it becomes something else entirely: an assurance that nothing in our lives escapes his notice or his care. He is not the hired hand who flees when the wolf appears. He is the Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. The high priestly prayer in John 17 reminds us that he intercedes on behalf of his people. The fourth servant song promises that: “yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.” So when Christ promises that no one will snatch them out of the Father's hand, he is assuring us no one will seize us from our shepherd. The "snatching" language describes a forcible seizure against one's will. Christ's answer is that even this cannot prevail. The same one who prayed for his disciples on the eve of the cross still intercedes for those who believe through their word, two thousand years later.We cannot see Christ as a creepy stalker. Rather, we need to see him as the empowering savior who protects his people. He does not empower us to live for ourselves, but to live for him. It is only as we live in communion with our Savior that we truly have life. ConclusionSo, can there be only one comfort that is appropriate in every situation, season, and circumstance? Yes! The catechism's opening answer assures us of our value. Our value doesn't rest in our accomplishments, our reputation, or our self-determination. It rests on the fact that we bear the image of God. Our value rests in the fact that Christ has redeemed us. Our joy is living as slaves of righteousness as we walk in the Holy Spirit. We have been redeemed by Christ. The communion we once pushed away has been restored because the Good Shepherd sought us. He shepherds us through this life, through death itself, and into the age to come. The comfort of belonging to Christ isn't a soft sentiment for easy days. It is the one comfort sturdy enough for every circumstance because his sheep will not be undone. His sheep will never perish. His sheep will never be snatched. Let us proceed in the confidence that our Lord is our definitive redeemer.

He comforts us in all our tribulations so we may then comfort others. The main thing is not that you and I feel better; the main point is can we bring comfort to other people?

Fifth Sunday after EpiphanyScripture Lesson: Matthew 5:4

Have you ever felt distant from someone you love—a friend, a parent, or a family member—and you wished you could feel close again? I met a woman who felt that way about God. She had once believed, once loved Him deeply. But life's losses and disappointments had worn her down. I shared this truth with her, and I want to share it with you today: even when your heart is hurt or tired, God has never left you. Through Jesus, anyone who feels far can become close again—intimately close, like a child with a loving parent. Loved. Cared for. Comforted. If you feel distant or alone, you can invite Him into your life. Why not ask Him to draw close to you right now? Always remember, there is hope with God. "Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world." James 4:8 radio.hopewithgod.com

A snow day devotion from 2 Corinthians 1.

The Sermon on the Mount is at the heart of Jesus's preaching the Kingdom of God.  Jesus presents us with a demanding challenge to live a truly holy life.  At the same time, however, he assures us of God the Father's love and constant care.  

THE TEMPTER CAME TO HIM Matthew 4:1-11 I. Jesus is Led to The Wilderness; vs.1-2 II. Jesus is Tempted; vs.3-10 III. Jesus is Comforted; vs.11 The temptation of Christ proved Jesus to be without sin and affirmed that He was truly the Son of God.

Kevin Anderson speaks from 2 Thessalonians 2 on how we are prepared and fortified in the present through prayer to comfort and establish us in Christ.

Dennis is joined by his friend Steven Reigns to talk about his new collection of poetry, Outliving Michael, which is about a friend of Steven's named Michael Church who died of AIDS in 2000. Steven talks about meeting Michael first as his drag persona Blanche before getting to know him out of drag and becoming close friends. Steven reads several poems and talks about what made Michael so unique, from his withering wit to his love of gay nightlife (Michael was a bottle boy at Studio 54 for a summer) to his support of Steven as a writer. Steven also talks about what it was like to be a caretaker for Michael and why he feels like he would be much better at it today. Other topics include: Steven's ongoing art project The Gay Rub, where he collects rubbings from LGBTQ gravestones and monuments from around the world, how he knows when a poem is finished, whether or not that is cocaine on the coffee table pictured of the book cover and what he thinks Michael would think of Outliving Michael. https://www.stevenreigns.com/

Hearing God's Voice: Removing Obstacles and Restoring Intimacy In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and Josh Overton dive into one of the most personal and transformative themes of the spiritual journey: hearing the voice of God. Through stories, theology, and personal reflection, they remind us that God is still speaking—and always has been. Michael shares a powerful encounter in an aspen grove, while Josh recalls a moment of divine validation as a "Giant Slayer." Together, they unpack the misconceptions, fears, and shame that often block us from hearing God clearly and offer encouragement for both solitude and community as sacred spaces where we can connect with Him. They also introduce their new YouVersion reading plan, “Comforted by God,” which is designed to help listeners engage in contemplative prayer and learn how to hear God's voice in everyday moments. From walking in the woods to holding a rock in your hand, no moment is too ordinary for God to speak. This episode is an invitation to posture your heart to listen, believe He's speaking, and experience the comfort of His voice. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!
