SCRIPTURE- 1 Cor 16:13“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”REFLECTION- Sr. KarolynMUSIC- NOTES-PRAYER OF LETTING GOTo You do I belong, O God, into Your hands I surrender my life. Pour out Your Spirit upon me that I may love You perfectly, and serve You faithfully until my soul rests in You.

Host Bill Reichart talks to Dr. Scott Armistead about the cost of convictions and courage within medicine.

Todaywe'll be looking at the last verses of Luke 23:50-56. As we look at thispassage of scripture, we learn that Joseph of Arimathea was also one of theseven meetings that Jesus had in this chapter with other people. Remember Hemet with Pilate and He met with Herod. On the way to the crucifixion, He metwith Simon of Cyrene who helped carry His cross. It was then that He spoke tothe women of Jerusalem. He spoke to the thief on the cross saying, “Todayyou'll be with Me in Paradise.” And then of course there was His Fatherthat He conversed with while He was on the cross. Now,this chapter ends with Christ being taken down off the cross by a man namedJoseph of Arimathea. Only the Gospel of John tells us that there was anotherperson involved with the burial of Jesus, and that was Nicodemus. Johnintroduces him in John chapter 3. In John 7:50, Nicodemus speaks up for Jesusin one of the council meetings when they're trying to condemn Him. And ofcourse, we believe that neither Joseph of Arimathea nor Nicodemus was presentaccording to Mark 14:64 when “all the council” voted to condemned Jesusto death; they must not have been there because they were a part of thatSanhedrin, and they would not have voted to condemn Jesus. Accordingto the Gospel of John 19:38-42, we also notice that this tomb where they buriedJesus was in a garden nearby the place where He was crucified. We believe thatit's very possible that this is a tomb that Joseph had previously prepared forJesus. He and Nicodemus had read the Scriptures. They had studied the fact thatthe Christ would die He would rise again. And they knew it was only a temporaryplace to bury the body of Jesus. It was a borrowed tomb in a sense, but it wasspecially prepared by Joseph for Jesus nearby. Joseph would have prepared hisown tomb in his home city close to where he lived. So we believe Joseph ownedthis tomb and he prepared it for Jesus.  Andwe also know that this burial fulfilled the Scripture. We believe that it ispossible Nicodemus and Joseph had studied the Scriptures in Isaiah 53:9, andalso knew that it says that the Messiah “made His grave with the rich in Hisdeath”. And so they fulfilled that Scripture. When Jesus died, Joseph isready to go immediately to Pilate. Nicodemus is part of helping have everythingready. Because they would not have been able to go shopping for these items onPassover, Joseph and Nicodemus must have already purchased the things that wereneeded for the burial of Christ, the fine linen that they wrapped Him and the hundredpounds of myrrh and aloes to anoint His body (John 19:38-44).  Itwas very important that Jesus be buried by people that would know He was deadbecause His death and resurrection are the very essence of the Gospel. Theproof was evidenced by the fact that men like these, men of character andintegrity were the ones who took His body off the cross and buried Him. Ifthere were any doubt about His death or burial, that could affect the messageand the ministry of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-8). Italso might be interesting to remember that in Genesis 2:1-3, after six days, Godfinished the work of the “old Creation” and He rested. Now after six hours onthe cross, Jesus finished the work of the “new Creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17),and He rested on the Sabbath in Joseph's tomb.  And because Christ's resurrection, three dayslater, we know that we can experience this new life in Jesus Christ and alsofind our “rest and peace” in Him! ThankGod for people that stand up for Jesus like Joseph and Nicodemus and were partof this very powerful story of the death, burial, and resurrection of JesusChrist. God bless you as you meditate on these things today. Are you willing tobe identified with the resurrected Savior today? Godbless!

Speaker: Pastor NickDate: July 20, 2025Synopsis: We're in a series called "Loved Does" based very loosely on the book of the same title by Bob Goff. We want to deepen our understanding of love, know that its way more than a feeling and be commended by God in our treatment of others to be based in this powerful tool. Today, Pastor Nick brings a message called 'Love is Courageous' and we look at a tale of two kingdoms, walking on water, digging holes in roofs and a story about Bob Goff becoming the Consule of Uganda. Love takes big risks because we can trust in the King who loves us and teaches us how to love!

Courageous leadership is about sticking to your convictions and maintaining a strong vision. The ability to take action, make decisions and take risks can help you lead the way!

Taking a courageous step can be exciting. But it can also be frustrating especially when things get worse. Today, we're going to follow an account of Moses who took a courageous step in God only to see things get worse. We will see three hard realities that can come with a step of faith and four promises from God that can help us keep going in spite of these difficulties.

In this episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Colonel Shawn Smith for a powerful and sobering conversation about the systemic breakdown of election integrity in the United States. Colonel Smith lays out how key security measures, chain of custody, physical ballot controls, machine audits, and software transparency, have been steadily abandoned across counties and states. He warns that elections are now untrustworthy by design, not by accident. Drawing from real-world examples and battlefield-tested leadership, Colonel Smith urges Americans to reject the comforting illusion that someone else is fixing the problem. Instead, he calls for civic courage and mass local engagement, arguing that only organized citizens can restore trust in the vote. The discussion dismantles the myth of risk-limiting audits, challenges the blind faith in state institutions, and highlights how fear and apathy have paralyzed action in the face of obvious fraud. Blunt, urgent, and deeply motivating, this episode issues a clear call: get involved now, or surrender your voice forever.

Show NotesPodcast Title: The Fortified Life Podcast with Jason DavisEpisode: 195Guest: Dr. Chinwé Williams – Trauma Therapist, Best-Selling Author, and SpeakerEpisode Title: Helping Kids and Teens Heal from Despair Through ConnectionSeries: Tools & ResourcesEpisode Summary:In this powerful episode of The Fortified Life Podcast, host Jason Davis welcomes Dr. Chinwé Williams, a trauma therapist, best-selling author, and nationally recognized speaker. As part of the Tools & Resources series, this episode dives deep into the youth mental health crisis and offers biblically sound, psychologically informed guidance for parents, educators, ministry leaders, and mentors.Dr. Williams discusses her co-authored book, Seen: Healing Despair and Anxiety in Kids and Teens Through the Power of Connection, sharing the origin story of the book, staggering statistics on youth anxiety and suicide, and practical tools for building connection and emotional resilience.From understanding the neuroscience of despair to embracing Christ-centered mental wellness, this conversation equips listeners to respond with compassion, clarity, and Christlike care.Guest Bio:Dr. Chinwé Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Board-Certified Counselor, Educator, and Certified EMDR Therapist with over 18 years of experience. She specializes in stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, and emotional resilience among youth and adults. Dr. Williams is a co-author of "Seen" and the newly released "Calm, Courageous, and Connected," and she is a sought-after keynote speaker who integrates faith and mental health with empathy and excellence.Key Topics Covered:The Mental Health Crisis in Youth:Dr. Williams shares that anxiety is now the most common mental health condition in both youth and adults, with youth suicide rates rising sharply, especially among Black boys ages 10–14.The Inspiration Behind Seen:Co-authored with youth pastor Will Hutcherson, Seen was birthed out of real-world experiences and a divine collaboration to offer practical tools for adults to connect with hurting young people.The Power of Connection:Dr. Williams explains that despair—defined as a combination of hopelessness and isolation—cannot be healed through logic or discipline but through emotional connection.The Neuroscience of Despair:In moments of emotional distress, the brain's logic center shuts down while the emotional center (the amygdala) goes into overdrive. Connection, not correction, is the bridge to healing.Practical Strategies for Parents & Caregivers:Observe behavior and check in compassionately.Prioritize regular moments of meaningful connection.Listen more than you speak.Avoid rushing to solutions—presence is often more potent than advice.Help children name their emotions and validate their experiences.Faith & Mental Health:Dr. Williams urges believers not to shy away from addressing mental health challenges, reminding us that Jesus Himself experienced a full range of human emotions. Spiritual strength includes emotional awareness and obedience in seeking healing and support.Notable Quotes:"Despair is suffering without meaning." – Dr. Chinwé Williams"You can't logic a child out of despair. They need connection, not correction.""Fear and self-doubt are not signs to stop. Often, they are signs you're walking in obedience.""Being unemotional does not equate to being more spiritual."Resource Mentioned:

July 16, 2025Today's Reading: Galatians 4:12-31Daily Lectionary: Judges 16:4-30; Judges 17:1-21:25; Galatians 4:12-31“Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Good news is fun to share. Compliments are fun to give. People tend to enjoy having you around when you say something nice or positive. And yet, it seems that when times of trials, sin, or struggles come along… people are less likely to enjoy hearing about that. “Don't connect God's Name to things He hasn't said or hasn't promised.” “Stop hurting your neighbor.” “Gossiping is lying.” “A baby is a gift from God.” “Marriage is a reflection of Jesus and His Church.” It seems as though the saying “don't blame the messenger” does not apply when speaking what someone doesn't want to hear. Paul, in this letter to churches in Galatia, is wondering at their treatment of him and his words; he suggests that they are seeing him as an ‘enemy' now. What changed? Well, sin taints everything. The recipients of this letter, and we today, do not like hearing messages that hurt our feelings or speak against our favorite sins. And yet, look at what Paul says is the ‘reason' the Galatians are treating him as an enemy… he is telling them the truth! But, what is The Truth? The Truth is you are not enough on your own; you are sinful, dead, and selfish. The Truth is, you are lost. And yet, there is more! The Truth is that you were rescued from your sinfulness and selfishness. The Truth is that in Baptism, you were brought to life, covered by Jesus, forgiven, and redeemed. The Truth is that you have a Savior, Jesus, Who paid for all of your sins and covers all of your hurts. The Truth is you are enough in Christ; You are in God's family and are loved. So, why is this message (The Truth) not well received? We sinners love control and really would prefer to live by our own works. We, like the Galatians, want to mix a little of our own efforts with the Gospel of Jesus. We want to define, adjust, or decide what is right or wrong. Repent, dear forgiven sinner. The Truth of your sinfulness and your rescue is what we daily cling to and confess. Receive the message of your ‘sinner status' with humility and rejoice that it is for sinners that Jesus died and rose again. Rest in your Baptism. Receive Jesus' Body and Blood. Hear the Truth with joy. And when you are sharing the Truth with those around you, whether they receive or reject it, know that The Truth rests on Jesus and not on us (or others). It is with great assurance that we live in grace and speak to others with hope. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.He canceled my offenses, Delivered me from death; He is the Lord who cleanses My soul from sin through faith. In Him I can be cheerful, Courageous on my way; In Him I am not fearful Of God's great Judgment Day. (LSB 724:3)- Deac. Sarah Longmire, Bible study editor for Higher Things.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.Step back in time to the late Reformation and learn about a divisive yet inspirational figure: Matthias Flacius Illyricus. His contributions to Lutheranism still echo in our teachings today, from the Magdeburg Confession to parts of the Lutheran Confessions. Learning about Flacius's life will help you understand more intricacies of the Reformation than ever before.

SummaryIn this episode, Heather Bunch discusses the 'Feeling Trap' that many Christian women entrepreneurs face, particularly the feelings of unworthiness and imposter syndrome. She emphasizes the importance of understanding that faith is not a feeling and provides actionable steps to break free from these limiting beliefs. Through the story of Moses, she illustrates how feelings can hinder our purpose and encourages listeners to take courageous action despite their emotions. The episode concludes with a call to practice the opposite of negative feelings and to live fearlessly free.TakeawaysYou don't have to feel it to live like it's true.Imposter syndrome creates a gap between who God says we are and how we show up.Knowing God's Word is not enough; we must act on it.Faith is not a feeling; it's a choice to trust God.Obedience comes before feelings; take action regardless of emotions.Moses felt unworthy but still obeyed God's call.We must let faith lead our actions, not our feelings.Courageous action is essential for overcoming fear and self-doubt.Practice the opposite of what your feelings tell you.Living fearlessly free requires consistent action and trust in God.Sound Bites"Faith isn't a feeling.""Obey before you feel it.""Live fearlessly free."Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Feeling Trap05:04 Understanding Imposter Syndrome09:34 Trap Response 1: Understand Faith Isn't a Feeling12:29 Trap Response 2: You gotta obey before you feel it15:06 Three Trap Responses to Overcome Feelings16:33 Trap Response 3: Let Faith Lead Your Feet19:24 Recap How You Can Respond to the Feeling Trap20:34 Courageous Action Steps22:55 Conclusion and Next Steps

This episode is a masterclass in courage, reinvention, and disruption—featuring former DOJ litigator turned thought leader, Stuart Gibson.

Facing life's giants requires the kind of courage David displayed against Goliath. True bravery comes from embracing responsibility, drawing on past experiences, and trusting in God's faithfulness. We must be authentic rather than imitating others, prepare thoughtfully for our battles, and surrender our motives to God's purposes. When we align with God's will, we can be decisive in confronting challenges and confident in victory through the Holy Spirit's power. By shifting our focus from the giant to God, preparing properly, and surrendering to His will, we can overcome any obstacle.

If you've ever felt like what you bring isn't enough or that you've been overlooked because of your age or situation, you're not alone. The Bible is full of stories about young people who didn't seem like the obvious choice but played a meaningful role in what God was doing. They weren't chosen because they had it all together. They were simply willing. What if the people the world tends to overlook are the very ones God wants to work through?

In today's gospel, Jesus commissions his followers to spread peace to the surrounding villages, but to take no supplies or comforts with them. Pastor Michelle tells us that Jesus was asking his followers to be courageous in spreading peace to the world, but also to be vulnerable to the whims of the people they encountered. Jesus guides us today to do the same: spread peace wherever we go. For God's kingdom will arrive, not with force, but with peace and love for all.

Mandi shared her story with us several years ago (Episode 19). It was one of the first times she had publicly revealed her heartbreaking story of being trafficked from a very young age and how her life had continued to spiral out of control until she found Jesus.Courageous to step forward and speak out, God has opened one door after the other to give her a platform for her bravery and boldness to help others find help, hope and healing. This part of her story - what God has done through her in the last few years - is the stuff only God could do.It's Genesis 50:20 written on the pages and lived out in the life of Mandi Mendoza.

Over the past few months, I've faced an ongoing cancellation campaign, a public takedown, and now - a breast cancer diagnosis.It's not the ‘comeback' I had in mind. But it's the reality I'm living.In this episode of the Courageous podcast, I share how I found out I have breast cancer and how I'm navigating this unexpected chapter of my life, health, and business - in real time. I cover: How I found out I had breast cancer The surreal timing (GB News one day, biopsy results the next)Why I'm choosing to stay visible during my treatment - rather than hiding away The practical steps I've taken to protect my income and create breathing spaceHow I'm continuing to rebuild a business - even in the middle of all thisIt's honest, it's raw - and if you're rebuilding your voice, business and confidence - I hope it will resonate.
