Stephanie here! I have often found that, when I'm discouraged, or when I struggle to see things from the perspective that God might have on a situation, a relationship, maybe my own heart, I find it so useful to dig into Scripture and look at the stories of people in Scripture who may have experienced something similar. I also find that, beyond Scripture, it is useful to look at the lives of faithful men and women in history, saints who have really clung to God, and who have experienced so much of his goodness, his holiness, his beauty, his faithfulness, his kindness, his generosity. I love to spend time through biographies of these people of faith. I'm looking forward to meeting them in heaven and learning from them even more. Which means, I love when a new book comes out that invites me to do just that. And the book Portrait of God by Jack Mooring does just that. I'm welcoming Jack today. And he experienced the same thing that I'm describing to you. His book is a bit of a guidebook. It uses the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis, Saint Augustine, Fanny Crosby, and so many more, to help us, believers, find stability in our faith amidst the chaos of this world. He and I chat about the fact that this world is pretty chaotic right now. This book and this conversation hope to be one of the tools that equips us in this ever-changing turbulent world we live in. Now, to recognize God's goodness in the midst of chaos, well, I know it can be challenging. Our faith can so often seem like a roller coaster as a result of that. Jack says, “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering. I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us, forgetful people, that this is God whom we love and he really is who he says he is.” MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “PORTRAIT OF GOD In an ever-changing, often turbulent world, recognizing God's goodness can be challenging. Many Christians describe their faith as a rollercoaster, with seasons of feeling close to God and having a clear sense of His presence, and others where He seems distant. Author Jack Mooring experienced this personally, and by reflecting on and learning from the lives of the faithful men and women in history, he uncovered powerful reminders of God's unchanging truths. Mooring's new book, Portrait of God: Rediscovering the Attributes of God through the Stories of His People (David C Cook, August 6, 2024) serves as a guidebook, using the stories of influential Christian figures like C.S. Lewis and St. Augustine to help modern-day believers find stability in their faith amidst the chaos of the world. In Portrait of God, Mooring provides thought-provoking questions and a list of further readings about each faith leader, allowing readers to dig even deeper into the truths about the unchanging character of God. “I've learned that the Christian life is less about learning and more about remembering,” writes Mooring. “I grew up in a rich tradition of truth, but life's lies have often buried those true ideas about God. So I wrote this book to remind myself and the rest of us forgetful people that this God we love is really who He says He is. This book is an attempt to rediscover our wonder about who He is. For each attribute of God, I chose a person in church history who actually experienced that part of God's nature. The goal is that, as we hear the stories of these people, we can get a glimpse of God through their eyes.” Each chapter explores an attribute of God through a person in church history who radically experienced His nature, applying it as a brushstroke to our portrait. Readers will uncover: ● Faith: How an all-powerful God worked miracles in the life of Kathryn Kuhlman. ● Holiness: What Augustine of Hippo's life in a secular world teaches us about God. ● Compassion: How William and Catherine Booth's service to others radiated God's love. MORE ABOUT JACK MOORING Jack Mooring is a pastor, speaker, songwriter, and author. Beginning in ministry from an early age with his family, he and his brother went on to start the band LEELAND. Signing to Provident Music Group (A division of SONY BMG), the band released seven records, four of which received Grammy Nominations for “Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.” After touring full time and ministering around the world from 2005-2014, Jack left the band in order to pastor full time. For several years he served on the pastoral staff of two different churches before planting Celebration of Life Church: Nashville. Jack continues to make music as a songwriter signed with Integrity Music. As both a pastor and creative, Jack is passionate about communicating the gospel in a post-Christian culture. He resides in Franklin, TN with his wife Whitney and four children: Smith, Kate, Anthony, and Gabriel.

We're back with our Unapologetic Conversations series, this week looking at how to talk to our kids! How do we help our kids realize and reach their God-given dreams? How can we encourage them in their passions (even if those passions may be different from our own plans for their lives)? Julia sits down with Bill Reeves—former CEO of KLOVE and current head of David C. Cook Publishing—to talk all about raising up this next generation! Bill has worked in Christian media for 35+ years, and is a father and grandfather. His best piece of advice for how to talk to our kids about their dreams: stop trying to write your kid's story, instead help them read the story God has already written for their lives. Julia and Bill also discuss why Christians should be encouraged to step into the media and entertainment worlds, how the church can do a better job of pointing the next generation in this direction, and Bill's best advice for kids and teens wanting to pursue the arts. If you're a parent, or anyone hoping to impact the next generation for the Lord, don't miss this conversation! Learn more about Bill and his work with David C. Cook on their website.
On today's episode is my new friend and new writer, June Chapman, author of the recently released book “Peace in the Waiting.” In a candid conversation, June shares her journey of finding peace and purpose amidst grief, depression, and uncertainty during the challenging times of COVID-19. Alone and grappling with questions about eternity and the fate of her loved ones, June found solace in writing—a calling she initially resisted. However, as she poured out her heart on paper, she realized that she was not only writing for herself but also for others who needed to hear words of hope and comfort. Through her book, June discovered a profound sense of abiding peace—a peace she now shares with others as she encourages them to trust in God's timing and sovereignty. She emphasizes the importance of loving people without the burden of trying to save them, recognizing that each person is an image bearer of God deserving of grace and mercy. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 3:8, June reminds us that salvation belongs to the Lord, and our prayers, even when seemingly unanswered, hold weight because of Who we pray to. She encourages listeners to incline their hearts to God, embracing unanswered prayers as opportunities to submit their will to His divine wisdom. In the words of Charles Spurgeon, “There is profit in all labor, but most of all in the work of intercession.” June's story is a testament to the power of trusting God's timing and allowing Him to work in our lives, even in the midst of waiting and uncertainty.

Did you know courage is a character trait developed over time? Like weightlifting, men have to practice, struggle and persevere to build the “muscles” of courage until it becomes who we are. The good news: God wired men to be courageous. Like a cattle brand, God has stamped the desire to be courageous into men. But it's up to you to make that choice. In this final message in the “Take Courage” series from the MAG, Pastor Jim Ramos shares how we can make sure our character is SOLID and not easily swayed by the worldly pressures men face. This message is from The MAG, The McMinnville Area Gathering for men, which meets weekly most Wednesday nights at Grange Hall in McMinnville, Oregon. You can come out to see Jim Ramos in person checking his at , or at your next event.

How can a coward get courage? It's not a commandment, it's not a mosaic law, it's not a fruit of the spirit and it's not a Spiritual gift. So what is courage?

Your step out of cowardice and into a courage starts here.

Ep. 90 The Chosen: Best of Episodes with Dallas Jenkins, Jonathan Roumie, Noah James, and Jordan Walker Ross ABOUT THIS PODCAST:The fourth season of "The Chosen" is now showing in theaters across the country. Previous episodes of The Paul Cardall Podcast have featured Dallas Jenkins, the creator, writer, and director of this widely acclaimed biblical series. Guests also included Jonathan Roumie, who portrays Jesus; Noah James, playing Andrew; and Jordan Walker Ross, in the role of Little James. In the podcast's 90th episode, listeners will enjoy highlights from Paul's interviews with these actors and the director, conducted over the course of seasons one through three. Listen to the full episodes with Dallas Jenkins (Director)Jonathan Roumie (Jesus)Noah James (Andrew)Jordan Walker Ross (Little James) ABOUT THE CHOSENThe Chosen is an American Christian historical drama television series. Created, directed, and co-written by filmmaker Dallas Jenkins, it is the first multi-season series about the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth. Primarily set in Judaea and Galilee in the 1st century, the series centers on Jesus and the different people who met and followed or otherwise interacted with him. The series stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus, alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, and George H. Xanthis.After Jenkins noted there had never been a multi-season, episode-based portrayal of Jesus that could be "binge-watched" like shows on streaming mediums such as Netflix, he set out to create the series in partnership with Angel Studios, formerly VidAngel. With the intention of differing from previous portrayals of Jesus, he crafted a story arc which focused more on the people who encountered Jesus and viewed him through their eyes. He has stated in interviews that he sought to present Jesus in a way that was more "personal, intimate, [and] immediate"The show's producers have primarily used crowdfunding on the Angel Studios platform to finance production, and it continues to be the most successful crowdfunded TV series or film project. Additional revenue comes through licensing to other streaming platforms and TV networks, such as Amazon Prime Video, Peacock, and Netflix. Merchandise and video sales provide additional sources of revenue, as have limited premiere runs in cinemas. The show has been further adapted into a series of novels by Jenkins's father, author Jerry B. Jenkins, a series of graphic novels by Corvus Comics, and companion Bible study materials published by David C. Cook.According to a 2022 analysis commissioned by the show's producers, 108 million had seen at least part of the show through the app and streaming platforms. Translation into as many as 600 languages is being funded by the Come and See Foundation.

On today's program, former Hillsong Atlanta pastors announce their divorce on social media. We'll have details. And a judge rules that World Vision is liable for discrimination after rescinding a job offer after discovering a woman was in a same-sex marriage. Plus, both David C Cook and Museum of the Bible announce new CEOs. We'll take a look. We begin today with news that the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia has ousted its pastor Liam Goligher. Although Goligher is no longer pastoring the influential church—associated with the Presbyterian Church in America—some critics are asking what took so long. FINAL THOUGHTS We are in the most critical time of the year for Christian ministries, including MinistryWatch, when it comes to fundraising. We need to raise about a quarter of our budget, about $116 thousand, in the months of November and December. We just passed the $60,000 mark, so we are over half-way there. If you've already given, THANK YOU. If you have not, I hope you will prayerfully consider a gift to MinistryWatch before year-end. And, of course, MinistryWatch is not alone. Some ministries raise 30 or 40 percent of their budgets during the last two months of the year. If you'd like to help us reach our year-end goal, just go to MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate button at the top of the page. But whether you give to us or not, we hope you will use our database to help you make giving decisions. And that you will give wisely and generously during this season. The producers for today's program are Rich Roszel and Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Steve Rabey, Brittany Smith, Jessica Eturralde, Kim Roberts, Daniel Ritchie, Christina Darnell—and you, Warren. Until next time, may God bless you.

Imitation is the most acceptable form of worship, as the proverb suggests. Although this notion has been around since the early 19th century, similar ideas existed even before that. One of the earliest examples of this concept dates back to 1708: “Consider that imitation is the most acceptable aspect of worship, and that God would rather mankind resemble Him than flatter Him.”Scripture references include Psalm 96:1-13 and 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10.Here are some song recommendations that incorporate the theme of imitation:- “RISE UP AND PRAISE HIM” - CCLI Song # 2060552 by Gary Sadler, Paul Baloche, © 1996 Integrity's Hosanna!

Stephanie welcomes Rebecca George to discuss the power of embracing weakness as part of our Gospel Spice Wellness series. They share their experience with the “curse of the capable woman”, as Stephanie calls it, and how surrendering our weaknesses to God allows Him to turn them into His strengths. They discuss the tension between achieving for God's glory while avoiding self-sufficiency and how we can open our hands and offer ourselves to God. The conversation shifts to the ultimate calling of a Christ follower to make disciples, and the importance of surrendering one's life to God. The episode also touches on the dangers of constantly doing and the importance of trusting God's timing. Together Stephanie and Rebecca emphasize that embracing weakness is the path to success and encourage YOU to focus on God in moments of brokenness. Rebecca shares her personal experiences with being an overachiever and how surrendering our weaknesses to God can transform them into strengths. Rebecca also talks about the importance of balancing grace and self-discipline in our lives and the ultimate calling of a Christ follower to make disciples wherever we are and in whatever season we are in. They also discuss the Great Commission and the ongoing behavior of making disciples without striving or burnout. Tune in to gain valuable insights on living a life of surrender and obedience to God! Some key takeaways for this conversation include, - We can feel like we have to rely on our own strength to get things done. - Weakness is what God wants from us, because He already has plenty of strength! - Surrendering our weaknesses to God allows Him to turn it into His strength. That is the goal! - Embracing weakness is actually the path to success, because we learn to trust Him. Stephanie and Rebecca invite you to focus on God: - Have an eternal perspective - Fix your eyes on Jesus and worship Him for His character - In moments of struggle and brokenness, invite God into our weaknesses and ask Him to transform them into strengths. - The outcome belongs to God, and the obedience belongs to humans. They also inspire you to balance grace and self-discipline with the following: - Strive to do everything with excellence for the glory of God; - Hold both grace and self-discipline closely and not see them as opposing forces. Making disciples is the ultimate calling of a Christ follower. Together, they add: - a calling is not necessarily to have a public ministry. - We can make disciples wherever we are and in whatever season we are in. - Making disciples is an ongoing behavior, not a one-time task or something to be added to a to-do list. - Striving to make disciples all the time can lead to burnout. - Different seasons may require a shift in our time and capacity, and it is important to have ongoing conversations about where we feel called to spend our time. To conclude, surrender to God is the key! You have heard it before, but it is important to remember: - Surrendering one's life to God on a regular basis is important. - It means not producing results on one's own strength or measuring one's own performance. - True freedom comes from allowing God's spirit to produce the fruit. NEW! GO DEEPER WITH QUESTIONS, ON YOUR OWN OR WITH A FRIEND: 1. How do you relate to the “curse of the capable woman,” (even if you are a man!) and how have you experienced it in your life? 2. Do you struggle with self-sufficiency or overachievement? How does this conversation resonate with you? 3. What is your view on grace and self-discipline, and how do you balance the two in your life? 4. How do you feel about the importance to fight striving? Do you agree with her stance against “Girl Wash Your Face”? 5. Have you ever experienced a moment of surrender to God in your weakness? How did that change your perspective? 6. What does it mean to you to make disciples as you go about your daily life? How can you apply this principle to your own life? 7. Have you experienced moments of burnout? What do you do to avoid it? 8. How does your personal view of success align or differ from Rebecca's and Stephanie's perspective? 9. How do you remind yourself of God's unconditional love for you and the fact that nothing you do can make Him love you more or less? 10. In moments of struggle and brokenness, how do you invite God into your weaknesses and ask Him to transform them into strengths? MEET REBECCA GEORGE Rebecca George is an author, a speaker, and the host of the popular podcast Radical Radiance.

Should I stay or should I go? Many people with faith backgrounds are asking themselves these questions the older they get, and the more the world around them changes and challenges their faith. Today, a friend of the show and outstanding human, Natalie Runion offers a much-needed conversation. Pastor's kid turned pastor, Natalie, her husband Tony and their two daughters live in Colorado Springs, Colorado where she served as a pastor of women and a worship pastor. In her twenty years of ministry as a worship leader, songwriter, and pastor, Natalie has served various organizations and ministries across the country. In 2019 after watching many of her peers walk away from the church and their faith, Natalie began Raised to Stay, a ministry for those who have wandered, wondered, and wrestled with the Church and the challenges of full-time ministry. Known for her black boxes of hard truth on social media for the Church and church leaders, her heart is to see a generation finish their race as they partner with a good Father who is faithful to complete the work He began in each of us. Natalie is a sought-after speaker and writer in the local and global Church, writing for She Reads Truth and other Christian publications. Her debut book, Raised to Stay, published with David C Cook will be available in Summer 2023! You can learn more about Raised to Stay on Instagram at @raisedtostay and preorder her book on Amazon and other major retailers.
When we worry, it can make us feel scared or sad. But we can remember that God is always with us, and we don't need to worry because He will take care of us. We can talk to God and tell Him what we're worried about, and He will listen and help us. We can also read stories from the Bible about how God helped people who were worried or scared. We can say positive things to ourselves, like "I can do this!" or "God is with me!" This can help us feel more confident and less worried. When we trust in God and focus on the positive, we can feel more peaceful and secure. So don't worry, God is with you and will take care of you! Clever Cub is Produced by David C Cook © 2022.

In today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Dr. Carla Marie Manly is going to talk to Terry Whalin. He will be talking with us about many things, including his new book proposals that sell. Episode Highlights: 01:01: Terry loves books and loves publishing and that's something he started at a very young age. 02:58: Terry shares how the book "Jesus Be A revolutionary" changed his whole view in life. 04:10: Terry shares how he joined Wycliffe Bible Translators out of college, and he spent 17 years with them. 04:33: Terry explains how he had a genuine love and relationship with God that he didn't have, and so that's why he needed to get a Bible and begin to sing those songs and go that direction in his life as well. 05:08: In Terry's publishing life. He has written biographies on people like Billy Graham and Chuck Colson and John Perkins and Luis Palau, and people like that. 05:24: Terry has co-authored books with more than a dozen people over the years, so books have really driven a lot of his life. 06:14: Terry had written about 50 books for traditional publishers, but he had never worked inside a publishing company before. 06:23: About 15-16 years ago, Terry was hired as the acquisition's editor at David C Cook in Colorado Springs and it gave him a look inside publishing that he had never seen before. 07:31: Terry wrote book proposals that sold originally in 2004, just as a frustrated editor because he wasn't getting the kind of submissions from authors that he really needed then. 09:12: As far as who the audience is, what they are going to do to sell the book, all those kinds of things, you can't just write a book. 10:05: There are over 4500 new books that are published every day. A publishing plan will help you not to get lost in 4500 books per day. It will help you float to the top rather than sink to. 11:23: If you have a plan, execute your plan, then that's where you are going to find your readers out there and really help people with the stuff you are putting in your books. 12:12: Terry has published more than a dozen children's books, and he knows that that's a very important area to people as parents read those books. 14:04: Terry shares how he benefitted from reading books to his children. 15:48: Terry wants to encourage authors to envision where their book is in the bookstore. 3 Key Points: Terry explains how to get a book launched or why their favorite book was launched. Terry shares how publishing has changed a lot since 2004. Terry's mission is to store enjoyment by helping authors be successful, and he is one of the reasons every book needs a book proposal out there. Tweetable Quotes: "One of the things that really drives me day in, and day out is the fact that books can change people's lives." – Terry "I can think of many times in my life when the right book came across my path and gave me sometimes, I wanted, sometimes I not so much wanted, i.e.; a wakeup call." - Terry "We go to the library or the bookstore and come back with a whole bunch of books and read them over and over to our kids." - Terry Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple Familius.com Terry Whalin Podcast Editing
