Have you ever walked through a spiritual drought? When life feels dry, doubts weigh heavy, and you wonder if you’ll ever feel God’s presence again? Isaiah 58:11 reminds us that the Lord guides us continually, even in scorched places, and makes us like a well-watered garden. Spiritual fruitfulness doesn’t come from our own striving but from surrendering to God’s leading, satisfaction, and strength. When we allow Him to guide our steps, fill our longings, and strengthen our weary bones, we will find refreshment and renewal—even in the wilderness. In today’s episode, Jessica Van Roekel reminds us that God is our living water, bracing us in weakness and filling us with satisfaction again and again. When we rely on Him, our lives become springs of comfort to others, bearing fruit that points to His glory. Main Takeaways God guides us by turning His face toward us and leading us step by step. His satisfaction is ongoing—He fills us again and again, even in dry seasons. He braces us with strength when we feel like we can’t go on. True fruitfulness flows from surrender to God and blesses others around us. Bible Verse References Isaiah 58:11 – God satisfies us in scorched places and makes us fruitful. 1 Corinthians 10:13 – God provides a way out in temptation. Psalm 1:3 – The faithful are like trees planted by streams of water. Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer for encouragement rooted in God’s Word every morning.

The Lord's Supper is more than a ritual—it's a proclamation of Christ's death and a reminder of His sacrifice (1 Corinthians 11). As we come to the table, we're called to examine our hearts and keep our focus on Jesus, ensuring nothing distracts us from His glory.

Bible Reading: Psalm 51:1-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17Cassian pointed to a row of cars on display at the automobile museum. "Don't these old cars look funny, Grandpa?" Grandpa smiled. "Well, they look a bit funny to us now, but they were pretty fancy in their day." He pointed to one of the cars. "My grandfather drove a car like that when he was a young man. It came in any color you wanted, as long as what you wanted was black."Cassian laughed. "Did you get to ride around in it when you were a kid?" "No," said Grandpa. "It was long gone by then. I just saw it in a picture.""Some of these old cars look brand new!" Cassian said, peering through the window of one of them. "This one doesn't look like it's ever been out on the road.""Oh, but it has," said Grandpa. "It's very old and must have traveled many miles, but it's been restored.""Restored?" asked Cassian. "That means it's been fixed up so it looks just like it did when it was new, right?"Grandpa nodded. "Worn-out parts have been replaced, and the car's been repainted with shiny new paint. It's just like it's brand new again." He stooped down to get a closer look at the car's shiny wheels. "It's kind of like what Jesus does for us when we confess our sins to Him. He forgives us and makes us clean again. The Bible says He restores our souls. It's like He refreshes us and makes us brand new.""When an old car is restored, it must look way different than it did when it was worn out," said Cassian. "But Jesus doesn't make us look different.""Well, I'm not so sure about that," said Grandpa. "He changes our spirit and soul and attitude, and I think that can make us look different too. We're able to have a better outlook on life and care deeply for others because we know our sins have been forgiven and we belong to Him. And that often puts a smile on our faces instead of a scowl. Don't you think?"Cassian thought about it. "Yeah," he said. "I guess so!" –Sam L. SullivanHow About You?Are you feeling worn out by sin in your life? Do you need to be restored? Even though Jesus saves us and makes us new people the moment we put our faith in Him, we need His ongoing forgiveness and restoration in our lives. When you confess your wrongs to Jesus, He will restore you and leave you feeling brand new! When you feel refreshed and clean again, let it show so others can see what Jesus has done for you.Today's Key Verse:He [God] restores my soul. (NKJV) (Psalm 23:3)Today's Key Thought:God forgives sin and restores us

The failures of Israel in the wilderness serve as warnings for us today (1 Corinthians 10). Overconfidence, idolatry, and grumbling kept them from experiencing God's best. But temptation doesn't have to lead to sin—God provides a way of escape if we will trust Him.

Finding Joy When Your Kids Walk Away: Trusting Jesus Over Outcomes Parenting is one of the most rewarding yet challenging journeys we can experience. As Christian parents, we often dream of raising children who follow Jesus, make wise choices, and walk closely with God. But what happens when our children choose a different path? How do we find hope and joy when our kids seem far from the faith we love? In this episode of The Bridge Between Us Podcast, we tackle these difficult questions head-on with guest Mary DeMuth, author of Love, Pray, Listen. Together, we explore how parents can trust Jesus in seasons of uncertainty and heartbreak. When Outcomes Become Idols It's natural to want the best for our kids. But sometimes, even good desires can turn into idols. When we say, “I'll be okay if my kids do exactly what I want,” we're putting our hope in outcomes, not in Jesus. As Mary DeMuth shares, this is a trap many parents fall into. We want control—but the truth is, we don't have it. God reminds us that our role is to love, guide, and pray, but ultimately, our children have free will. Finding Joy in Heartbreak One powerful theme from the conversation is the idea of finding joy even when life doesn't look like we planned. How do you celebrate the goodness of God when your heart is breaking? The answer is in understanding that joy is not based on circumstances—it's rooted in Jesus. Mary DeMuth reminds us that even God, the perfect Father, has children who rebelled. Our pain is something He understands deeply, and that connection can become a source of unexpected joy. Practical Tools for Grieving Parents Grief is real, and it's okay to lament. In this episode, you will be encouraged to use the biblical model of lament—pouring out your heart to God, describing your pain, and choosing to praise Him anyway. Writing your prayers, journaling your emotions, and finding a safe person to share with can help release the heavy burden of parenting heartbreak. Another powerful takeaway is learning to let go of specific outcomes in your prayers. Instead of telling God exactly how to move, Mary DeMuth suggests praying, “Surprise me with how You reach my child.” This shift opens the door to trust and helps parents see God's creative work in ways they might have missed. Love That Transforms We close the conversation by unpacking 1 Corinthians 13—often quoted at weddings but originally written to a broken church. How can parents apply “love is patient, love is kind” to their parenting, especially with a child who's wandering? Mary offers insights on showing grace, patience, and kindness to our kids, and even to ourselves, on this journey. Key Takeaways Release control: God loves your child more than you do. Joy comes from Jesus, not perfect circumstances. Lament is a healthy, biblical response to grief. Trust God's timing and methods, even when they surprise you. Love your child and yourself with grace and patience. This episode is for every parent longing for hope in a hard season. Whether your child is questioning faith, making different choices, or simply testing boundaries, remember this: you are not alone, and Jesus is walking with you every step of the way.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com Have you heard the story about the man who - Was a wrestler. 300 matches only lost one - He fired guns at the white house - He stood in front of live fire during a war - He was a licensed bartender - He was arrested for dueling - He held seances where he worked - He was accused of being to ugly for his job - And he was our 16th President! Abraham Lincoln. Outwardly: Rough, awkward, poorly dressed frontier lawyer. Many thought he was too simple for leadership. Inwardly: Brilliant thinker, deeply compassionate, and one of the greatest U.S. presidents who carried the weight of ending slavery. He did so many great things in his life as president we often forget much about his life and his foibles! Psalm 51:17: "The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." God's Power in Weakness: God's strength is often made perfect in our weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9: "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." Examples in Scripture: The Bible is filled with examples of flawed individuals used by God: Moses, with a speech impediment and a past of murder. David, an adulterer and murderer. The Apostle Paul, a persecutor of Christians. The disciples, who frequently misunderstood Jesus and abandoned him during his crucifixion. God's Purpose Through Brokenness: God can use our past experiences, even those of pain and brokenness, to bring comfort and healing to others. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God

Cancel culture seems to demand that we choose sides—cutting off, calling out, and canceling others with little room for redemption. But what does a Gospel response look like? How do we teach our daughters to stand firm in their faith without returning fire with fire? In this Thursday episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose dig deep into how the divide created by cancel culture can be reconciled—not through compromise, but through Christ. Rooted in the ministry of reconciliation described in 2 Corinthians 5, this episode explores what it means to be a peacemaker in a polarized world and how to help your daughter hold truth and grace in tension. From toddler playground scuffles to teenaged social dynamics, cancel culture is showing up in your daughter's life earlier than ever. But instead of teaching her to cancel back, this conversation invites you to cast a different vision—one that prioritizes empathy, identity in Christ, spiritual maturity, and prayer for those who oppose her. You'll walk away with: A Gospel-centered framework for responding to cancel culture Real-life language to help your daughter approach conflict differently 3 practical jumping-off points to move her from canceling to reconciling AHG resources like GRIT with Grace that equip girls to practice Biblical unity in their everyday relationships As American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay reminds us in this week's Raising Godly Girls Minute, our differences are not a threat—they are an opportunity to celebrate the body of Christ in its fullness.

Send us a textEpisode Notes: In this episode, we step into the final chapter of 1 Corinthians, where Paul turns to a very practical subject: Money. If that makes you a little uncomfortable — you're not alone! But Paul shows us that how we handle money is deeply connected to our discipleship.In just four verses, he lays out a Spirit-inspired pattern for giving that still speaks powerfully today.Key TakeawaysGiving is for everyonePaul says, “each one of you” — no exemptions.It's not about equal amounts but equal commitment.Giving should be regular“On the first day of every week…”Generosity isn't an afterthought — it's an act of worship woven into the rhythm of our lives.Giving is proportional“…in keeping with your income.”The more God has blessed you, the more you're called to give.Giving must be handled with integrityPaul insists on accountability.Transparency protects both the church and the giver.ApplicationPaul's message is simple: you need a plan.Not just a vague idea, not a last-minute gift under pressure — but a thoughtful, regular, intentional plan for how you give.Start somewhere, even if it's small.Build generosity into your financial rhythm.Remember: giving isn't really about money — it's about living with a posture of generosity in light of resurrection hope.EncouragementBecause Christ is risen, our giving isn't in vain. Every act of generosity, every gift sown, is an investment in eternity.We live with resurrection hope. We serve with resurrection power. We give with resurrection generosity.Support the showTo listen to my monthly church history podcast, subscribe at; https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.com For an ad-free version of my podcasts plus the opportunity to enjoy hours of exclusive content and two bonus episodes a month whilst also helping keep the Bible Project Daily Podcast free for listeners everywhere support me at;|PatreonSupport me to continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

When it comes to our finances, we often wonder: Where does God's provision end and our responsibility begin? Should we simply wait and trust Him—or get to work and provide for ourselves?The truth is, it's not either-or. God calls us to both trust Him and participate in His provision. Not because He needs our help, but because He delights in working through us.Avoiding Two ExtremesYou've likely heard the phrase, “Let go and let God.” While it sounds spiritual, it can sometimes lead to passivity. On the other end of the spectrum, some of us live as if everything depends on us—hustling, stressing, and striving in our own strength.Scripture offers a better way: a life of faith that doesn't ignore work, and a life of work that doesn't ignore faith. God invites us into a partnership—trusting His sovereignty while faithfully engaging in our responsibilities.Paul writes in 2 Timothy 2:6, “It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops.” The farmer can't make the rain fall or the seeds grow, yet he tills, plants, and harvests. He works diligently while depending entirely on God for the increase.In the same way, we can't control the economy or prevent every financial emergency—but we can make wise choices. By living below our means, avoiding debt, and giving generously, we acknowledge God as our Provider while faithfully stewarding what He entrusts to us.God Provides—We ParticipatePsalm 104:14 reminds us, “You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate.” God causes the growth, yet invites us to cultivate it. His provision is not a one-sided transaction—it's a relationship.We see this throughout Scripture. When Jesus fed the 5,000, He didn't create food out of thin air. Instead, He multiplied a boy's simple lunch. God chooses to involve us, not because He lacks resources, but because He delights in using us to bless others.God's Word makes it clear that provision and work go hand in hand.Ephesians 4:28 urges, “Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor… so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.”1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 calls us to “work with your hands… so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.”Laziness is never encouraged, but neither is frantic self-reliance. Instead, Scripture calls us to wise diligence rooted in God's faithfulness.Stewardship means recognizing that everything belongs to God. We are not owners but managers, entrusted with His resources to reflect His character.And His provision is never just for us. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 9:10–11, “He who supplies seed to the sower… will supply and multiply your seed for sowing… You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way.”God enriches us so that generosity might overflow through us—producing thanksgiving to Him.Living in the Beautiful In-BetweenSo how do we balance trust in God's provision with active participation?Pray before you plan—inviting God into your financial goals.Work with diligence, not fear—resting in His faithfulness, not your performance.Give generously—not because God needs your money, but because He invites you to reflect His heart.Rest confidently—knowing God is at work even when you sleep.At the end of the day, God delights in using ordinary people with ordinary means to display His extraordinary grace. He is the Provider, and we have the privilege of being His participants.Provision, then, is not just about a paycheck—it's about a partnership. Let's stop asking whether it's “all up to us” or “all up to God” and embrace the beautiful in-between: trusting Him, working faithfully, and joining Him in the joy of provision.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My wife and I inherited a house from a family member in another state. We'd like to keep it available for friends, family, or church members to use, rather than renting it out. What do you think about that approach?My wife and I are in our early 80s. Years ago, we used our Roth IRAs to pay off our home, allowing us to live debt-free in retirement. We use our IRA for charitable giving, but with the rising cost of living, I'm wondering if a reverse mortgage could be a smart tool. What's your advice?If I already have a living will, will my assets still need to go through the probate process?I've had a long-term care policy since 2018 with $400,000 in coverage, but I was told there's a six-month waiting period before it pays out. That seems long to me. Should I consider canceling the policy?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Pastor Alan R. Knapp discusses the topic of "Salvation in Three Tenses" in his series entitled "SHORT SERMONS" This is Short Sermon 10 and it focuses on the following verses: John 5:39; Hebrews 13:8; (2 Corinthians 6:2 cf. Isaiah 49:8)
At just nine years old, Jase found himself alone in the frozen woods, turning a childhood scare into his very first survival story—and his first glimpse that God was near. Al and Zach connect that experience to Paul's sermon at Mars Hill in Acts 17, where creation itself testifies to the Creator's closeness. It turns out that both Phil and Missy preached the same message at Mars Hill years apart without knowing it. The guys explore the gnostic belief that our flesh is inherently sinful, and why resurrection hope isn't about escaping the body but God redeeming it.
