Podcasts about Dear God

Candace and Lisa dive into a raw confession: "Dear God, I don't like my body." This episode of Body & Soul explores what happens when our physical reality feels like a burden—whether due to chronic pain, mental health struggles, or just the quiet disappointment we carry. Candace shares the personal toll of living with migraines and the resentment it has sometimes stirred. Lisa opens up about hormonal changes, perimenopause, and the grief of realizing her body will never be what it once was. Together, they reflect on how body grief, trauma, and identity are deeply intertwined—and how Scripture offers a redemptive path forward. If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt more frustration than freedom, this conversation will meet you there. It's for every woman who has whispered to God, "Why this body?"

Why are we never happy with our looks?

Join us this week for a brand new Ministry Minute entitled “Rags to Riches.” In today's episode, we explore the transformative power of God, examining how He can turn even the most challenging situations around, even when they seem hopeless. We draw inspiration from the story of Jehoiachin in Jeremiah 52, illustrating how someone could swiftly transition from imprisonment to the king's court. This inspires us to place our trust in God, as Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for our good. ✝️

Your Nightly Prayer

"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!" Psalm 107:1  Imagine walking into your home and feeling instantly uplifted, I mean not just by the perfect temperature, but by a gentle reminder of all you have to be thankful for. Gratitude isn't just a word; it's a daily invitation to shift your mindset, turning ordinary moments into opportunities for joy. In a world that often emphasizes what's missing, gratitude helps you pause and appreciate what's already yours, creating an atmosphere of warmth that will open many doors. Let's consider the story of the ten lepers who approached Jesus for healing (Luke 17:11–19). After they were miraculously healed, only one returned to express his gratitude. Jesus remarked that this man's faith had not only made him whole but had also saved him. In other words, gratitude extends beyond mere acknowledgment; it brings wholeness to our souls. In our own lives, reflecting on moments when gratitude shifted our perspective can reveal how this powerful emotion alters our experiences and interactions. Hebrews 12:28 says, "Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe." As we navigate life's ups and downs, remember that "gratitude is the thermostat of the soul, so set it high, and you will see life feels warmer no matter the weather." When we practice gratitude, we recalibrate our hearts, enabling us to find joy even in the midst of trials. Just as a thermostat regulates temperature, gratitude helps us manage our emotional climate, creating a space for peace and contentment. Adjusting our thermostat for gratitude can be a game-changer. It will quietly reset the temperature of our hearts, transforming ordinary moments into cozy blessings. Whether it's a warm cup of coffee in the morning or a kind word from a friend, recognizing these small gifts can make all the difference. Remember, as we cultivate an attitude of thankfulness, we learn to appreciate life's richness, even when circumstances seem challenging. Colossians 3:15 says, "Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Prayer for the Day!Dear God, thank You for the countless blessings You shower upon us each day. Help us to cultivate a spirit of gratitude that transforms our hearts and minds. May we recognize Your goodness in every situation and share that light with others. In moments of doubt and despair, remind us that gratitude can lead us back to joy. In Jesus' name. Amen.”

This prompts a conversation about the inevitability of death and the significance of establishing a relationship with Jesus Christ for eternal salvation. ✝️

Your Nightly Prayer

Join us this week for a brand new Ministry Minute entitled, “A Clean Heart.” In this message, we delve into the significance of self-reflection and examining the state of our hearts. We explore how our hearts can become tainted by unforgiveness, bitterness, and anger, which ultimately distances us from God. We emphasize the importance of letting go of these negative emotions and asking God to create within us a clean, renewed heart that embodies His love and compassion. ✝️❤️ #PureHeart #JesusLovesYou #MinistryMinuteA Clean Heart | Ministry Minute EP272Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and wrongdoings. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven. I ask that You be the Head of my life and the LORD of my life from this day forward, and I ask that You please help me to live for You all the days of my life.In Jesus Name I Pray,Amen.I'm Saved, What's Next:- Be Baptized In Jesus Name- Be Filled With The Holy Ghost- Live A Holy LifeJesus Is Soon To Return— BE READY!!#Christianity #Christian #Jesus #Bible #God #Faith #JesusChrist #Church #love #Bibleverse #Gospel #prayer #HolySpirit #Godisgood #pray #biblestudy #Scripture #hope #truth #religion #JesusLovesYou #worship #grace #JesusSaves #amen #blessed #Christianlivinghttps://www.joshuahopkinsstudios.com/ministryminute

She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” Genesis 16:13 Have you ever felt invisible, as if your struggles and dreams went unnoticed? In those moments of doubt and despair, remember this powerful truth: "Every tear you shed is caught in the hands of a God who knows your story intimately. You are not just seen; you are understood, loved, and woven into a greater tapestry of purpose." This profound sentiment reminds us that we have a divine observer who values our journey. In Genesis 16:13, after Hagar encounters God's presence and receives direction from an angel to return to Abram and Sarai, Hagar refers to the Lord as "El Roi," signifying “You are the God who sees me.” Through this experience, she realizes that God is aware of her suffering and looks after her. This beautiful moment illustrates that even when we feel isolated, God is right beside us, ready to offer comfort and guidance. Our worth does not diminish because of our circumstances; rather, it shines through them. Job 34:21 says, "For God's eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step." As we navigate life's challenges, let's hold onto the truth that "God's gaze is a reminder that we are never invisible." Each time we feel overlooked or undervalued, we can remind ourselves that God knows every detail of our lives. He sees our struggles and celebrates our victories, no matter how small they may seem. Recognizing this divine awareness transforms our perspective on our worth and helps us embrace our unique journey. “Like stars hidden by clouds, your worth shines brightly even when obscured.” In times of darkness, let God whisper hope into your heart. Your value remains constant; it is rooted in His love for you. As you face obstacles, remember that you carry a light within you that can illuminate the way for others. Amen. Proverbs 15:3 says, "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, observing the evil and the good." Prayer for the Day! Dear God, thank You for seeing us in our moments of despair and joy. Holy Spirit, help us to recognize our worth in God's eyes and to shine brightly for those around us. Lord, may we find strength in Your promises and comfort in Your presence. In Jesus' name. Amen. Remember always, you are seen and cherished!

Hey fam!We can't believe we've made it to video Episode 10 of Dear God, Unscripted! We're talking about a topic that's challenged both of us—submission in marriage

“O Lord, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble?” (Psalm 10:1 NLT) A Sunday school teacher gave the kids in her class an assignment to write down any questions they had for God. Here are some of the questions, comments, and suggestions they came up with: Dear God, did You mean for the giraffe to look like that, or was it an accident? Dear God, I like the Lord’s Prayer best of all. Did You have to write it a lot, or did You get it right the first time? I have to write everything over and over again. Dear God, thank You for my baby brother You gave to us, but what I prayed for was a puppy. Dear God, how come You haven’t invented any new animals lately? We still have just the old ones. Dear God, I bet it is very hard for You to love everybody in the whole world. There are only four people in my family, and I just can’t do it. Dear God, in school we read that Thomas Edison made light, but in Sunday school, they said that You made it. I bet he stole Your idea. If you’re new to the Christian faith, you may have your own questions, comments, or suggestions for God. (And if you’ve been a Christian for most of your life, you probably still have questions, comments, or suggestions for God.) The questions may be tough. They may seem impolite. They may suggest a lack of faith on your part. Ask them anyway. That’s what the psalmists did. Look at Psalm 10:1 above. Those pointed questions are heartfelt cries. And God responds to our heartfelt cries—not with anger or punishment for questioning Him, but with compassion and understanding. He gives us wisdom and peace. He opens our eyes to spiritual truths we can’t see on our own. Few people in Scripture were closer to God than David, the shepherd who killed Goliath and later became king of Israel. First Samuel 13:14 describes David as “a man after God’s own heart.” Yet look what he wrote in Psalm 13:1–2: “O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever? How long will you look the other way? How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?” (NLT). He poured out his soul to God because he knew God would see his questions for what they were: genuine attempts to understand God and His will. The apostle James offered this advice: “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:5–6 NLT). God welcomes your questions because the more answers you receive, the stronger your faith will grow. Reflection question: What questions would you like to ask God?

Season Ending Episode!! Season 5 Episode 10' is a RAP!!! Always a bitter sweet moment, it's like I don't want to leave you guys but resets are important. To end this season, we welcomed my cousin Hector Naranjo. He basically is my childhood friend but more like my brother. Hector surprised me, with his vulnerability and openes to share his story but how he owned his actions. He shared how he didn't feel guilty when doing the hurtful actions, that in his mind… he was a “good guy”, which in reality he is a good guy but was making wrong decisions. I admired how he took accountability, Hector shared that he was cheating on his girlfriend, didn't know, much less understood the damage and hurt he caused her and so many around them. This took him to start looking inward and ask questions like… “why did I do that?, why do I feel alone?, where did all my money go? And more. Family, I'm telling you…. This is such a great episode. Topics we discussed are; cheating/ lying, fighting addictions beer, depressions, material things, to losing his mother at 19 years (Hector), and quitting his job to follow Christ. The stories dont just stop there. Hector has so much wisdom that an hour episode will do no justice but it will give you insight of the heart he carries. People think the mistakes define a person, but… God says “your sin is forgiven and I love you, ______” He calls you by your name and no shame. It was a pleasure recording this episode for you guys… please connect with us. My email is Themaceffect19@gmail.com for all questions and inquiries. I promise you this will bless you. How do I know, because my God word is never void. My (our) prayer for this season 5, Dear God, gives us the wisdom to hear and listen with attention, patience and the will to accept what is for me (us). I ask that you develop and grow me (us) as individuals, so that I (we) can be of a blessings to those around us, family, friends and all relationships in between. I have faith and strongly believe this season 5 will be of impact and create memorable moments. Bring… change, challenge, and healing. The MAC Effect is in your hands, grow it, use it, this is yours. I pray for the mission statement to be: “Helping / Leading hurt people, to hope. In heart, mind, body and spirit” but open to change if you please to do so. I pray all this in Jesus Christ name, Amen' I want to thank all my guest in advance for the love and time gifted to this podcast, as all is a direct blessing and healing to my inner child, and others.

SummaryIn this raw and reflective episode of Dear God, Unscripted, Jordan sits down with his cousin—and brother in spirit—Ashyrii Ball, for a powerful conversation about Black manhood, mental health, and breaking generational patterns.Together, they revisit their upbringing in Southeast Texas, where young fathers were learning how to be men while raising sons who were silently watching. They explore what they learned (and unlearned) about emotional expression, discipline, boundaries, and love—and how those early lessons are now shaping the way they parent, show up in relationships, and care for their mental health.From funny childhood memories to deeply personal moments of vulnerability, this episode is an unfiltered look at what it means to grow up Black, male, and emotionally silenced—and how healing starts with learning to speak.Why This Matters:Men's Mental Health Month deserves real, honest conversations—not just headlines. This episode is our offering to that space. A reminder that emotional expression is not weakness, that parenting can be redemptive, and that breaking cycles takes more than intention—it takes action.00:00 – Opening Up: Why men's mental health matters05:27 – Manhood Defined: Early messages we learned as boys08:20 – Learning to Speak: Communication struggles and growth12:42 – Emotions Are Not Weakness: Reclaiming emotional expression17:35 – Childhood Reflections: What shaped the men we became23:29 – Becoming a Man: The transition from boyhood to adulthood31:00 – Looking Back: Memories that still teach us today35:25 – The Power of Communication: Why words matter in relationships42:17 – Creating Safe Spaces: Healing from emotionally distant upbringings

Chronic pain affects not only the body but the mind and soul as well. In today’s heartfelt devotional, Vivian Bricker shares from her personal journey with autoimmune illness and the emotional toll that chronic suffering can bring—loneliness, isolation, and the temptation to give up. But amidst the pain, Vivian reminds us of the hope found in God’s unchanging presence and faithful love. Through Psalm 73:26, we’re encouraged to trust that God is our portion and strength, even when our bodies and hearts fail. Vivian’s honest reflection and vulnerable prayer offer comfort to anyone battling pain, reminding us that we are seen, we are not alone, and that God’s grace sustains us day by day. ✨ Key Takeaway: Pain may be part of our story, but it doesn’t define us—Jesus does. God sees every tear and every moment of struggle. His strength carries us, and His promises give us hope beyond the pain.

On this week's Ministry Minute, we talk about how God loves us unconditionally, despite our mistakes and sins. Jesus Christ laid down His life for everyone, even those who hated Him, showing that no matter where we are in life, God still has love for us. Jesus is extending His hand to us today, asking us to just simply, come home. #Salvation #JesusLovesYou #MinistryMinuteJesus Loves You | Ministry Minute EP268Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE.

I got a flattering Father's Day card that I'm not sure I'm living up to

Episode 9!! Season is almost over!! Please welcome my good friend, Doug Weisskopf. Doug is a friend that I just made a few months ago, thru out daughters friendships. When speaking to him, and listening to his story… my goodness… was good using him. He had no idea I'm going thru a divorce, yet his story was giving me hope, breathing room. Not only was Doug open and shared but when his vulnerability allowed me to feel heard, understood and a moment of peace! I didn't know anyone could understand, I thought I was alone, fighting off depression and evil thoughts. He keeper talking, sharing and I stayed listening… so much that I had to bring him on the podcast! I needed to share his story to other men and women. It's okay to not be okay, it's okay to feel defeated/ destroyed. What's not okay is to stay there. Doug shared the importance of healing himself first so that all areas around him can improve. Doug share feeling unloved, not having his parents show up for him at special events, creating an inner child trauma, hurt that affected his marriage and fatherhood. Never the less, didn't just use this as an excuse, he DID something about it! Took matters into his own hands, developed himself, read a lot of books, healed inner child and present trauma… and is living his best life.

It's Monday, June 16th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistani Christian acquitted of blasphemy against Islam charge Last Thursday, a Pakistani judge acquitted a 28-year-old Christian named Farhan Masih of blasphemy against Islam and terrorism charges after the prosecution failed to prove its case against him, reports Morningstar News. Masih had developed a mental illness due to excessive use of synthetic drugs and was entrapped in the false accusation by the complainant. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the eighth most difficult country worldwide in which to live for Christians. Dear God, we thank you for enabling Farhan Masih, this Pakistani Christian, to be acquitted. Amen. Israel attacks Iran over atomic weapon; Iran retaliates Israel launched blistering attacks on the heart of Iran's nuclear and military structure Friday, deploying warplanes and drones previously smuggled into the country to assault key facilities and kill top generals and scientists, reports the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu explained. NETANYAHU: “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel's very survival. This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat. For decades, the tyrants of Tehran have brazenly, openly called for Israel's destruction. They backed up their genocidal rhetoric with a program to develop nuclear weapons. “In recent years, Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atom bombs – nine!  In recent months, Iran has taken steps that it has never taken before, steps to weaponize this enriched uranium. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year. It could be within a few months.” Iran retaliated by firing waves of ballistic missiles at Israel, where explosions flared in the skies over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv and shook the buildings below. The Israeli military urged civilians to head to shelter, as missiles damaged homes and killed two people. U.S. Senate considers defunding Planned Parenthood In the midst of the U.S. Senate's ongoing debate about the budget, they are determining whether to defund Planned Parenthood, as President Trump has requested, reports Liberty Counsel Action. The situation is fluid and can change at any moment because of the razor-thin margin of votes.  Only  two weeks remain to get the budget on President Trump's desk.  Whether or not your two U.S. Senators are Republicans or Democrats, please call them at 202-224-3121 – any time of the day or night -- and urge them to DEFUND Planned Parenthood. Democratic Minnesota Rep. killed and Minnesota Senator injured in targeted attack A Minnesota Democratic lawmaker and her husband were shot and killed in their home early Saturday by someone posing as a police officer and a second Democratic lawmaker and his wife were wounded in what some have described as  “targeted political violence,” reports the Associated Press. Former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her spouse were killed in their Brooklyn Park home. The other lawmaker, Democratic State Senator John Hoffman, and his wife, were shot multiple times in Champlin, a suburb of Minneapolis. Bob Jacobson, Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety, spoke at a press conference. JACOBSON: “This is a dark day today for Minnesota and for democracy, but we will not allow fear or violence to define who we are or how we move forward.” The gunman has been identified as Vance Luther Boelter, whom Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had previously appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council. Christian singer Michael Tait confesses homosexual conduct & drug abuse Last Tuesday, Michael Tait, the former lead singer of the Christian rock band Newsboys and a member of the Grammy-winning group DC Talk, publicly confessed to a history of "reckless and destructive behavior," including drug and alcohol abuse and unwanted sexual conduct involving men, reports The Christian Post. In a written statement on Instagram, the 59-year-old singer acknowledged that the reports  are “sadly, largely true." He wrote, "For some two decades, I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. “I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life. By His grace, I can say that for the past six months, I have lived a singular life—one of utter brokenness and total dependence on a loving and merciful God." Tait's confession follows an in-depth investigative report published on June 3rd by The Roys Report documenting that three men accused him of sexual assault during separate incidents dating back to 2004. Tait quoted Psalm 51, King David's famous prayer of repentance: "Blot out my transgressions … create in me a new heart, O God." God-haters upset with 10 Commandments displayed in Arkansas schools A group of God-hating organizations has filed a lawsuit against a recently passed law in Arkansas that requires public schools to display the Ten Commandments on the wall in a 16-inch by 20-inch poster with a  font size that makes it easily readable, reports The Christian Post. Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint on Wednesday on behalf of a religiously diverse group of parents. At issue is Act 573, a measure signed into law by Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in April and is scheduled to take effect in August. The lawsuit argues that "Act 573 is not neutral with respect to religion." Republican State Senator Jim Dotson, one of the bill's primary sponsors, argued in March that the Decalogue displays were not unconstitutional. He said, "From the state to the federal level all throughout our history, it is an historical reference point or historical document that has basic things like you shall not kill, steal, commit adultery -- those basic foundations of life that are good for everybody to keep front of mind so that we are hopefully living good lives," reports KATV. After God revealed the Ten Commandments to Moses on Mt. Sinai, Exodus 20:20 records Moses telling the Jews, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.” Worldview listeners in South Dakota, Colorado, and Indiana share their hearts I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts -- along with your full name, city and state -- and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Jason Bollwerk in Rapid City, South Dakota wrote, “I am a homeschooled sophomore in high school, and I listen daily to The Worldview for school. My reason for listening is not only to hear what is happening in the world, but I love hearing about all the good things that God is doing out there. Most media outlets show the dark side of what's going on. But The Worldview really shows what God's doing. Tally ho and pip pip.” Cheryl Ball in Indianapolis, Indiana wrote, “I've been reading the transcript of your newscast every morning since the presidential debates last year. I don't watch the news or read other news. So, this is basically my news input and I'm thankful for it.” And Dennis and Alyssa Guse in Castle Rock, Colorado, said, “Thank you for the faithful work you and The Worldview in 5 Minutes team do for the glory of God!  We are blessed to hear relevant news stories and encouraging Scriptures every day.  Keep up the great work for the Kingdom!”  Dennis asked if I could lead an occasional short prayer for one of the news items. I  called him to say that that was a great idea and I would take him up on the suggestion. 17 Worldview listeners gave $6,821 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this past weekend, 17  listeners stepped up to the plate by 1:00pm Central on Saturday. We were only 3 donors short of our 20-donor goal. Our thanks to Augustine in Auburn, California who gave $25 as well as Elisabeth in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada and Karen in Waterford, Wisconsin --  both of whom gave $50, and Daniel in Mayflower, Arkansas who pledged $8 per month for 12 months for a gift of $96. We're grateful to God for Leasa in Simpsonville, South Carolina, George in Edinburgh, Indiana, and Woody in Sparks, Nevada – each of whom gave $100 as well as Laura in Millstadt, Illinois and Kerry and Rosana in San Antonio, Texas – both of whom gave $200. And we were touched by the generosity of Derrick in Evans, Georgia who gave $250, Justin and Oliver in Grover Beach, California who pledged $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Eric in Warren, Minnesota who also pledged $25 per month for 12 months for a gift of $300, Matt, Amanda, Elijah, Malachi, and Samuel in Greencastle, Indiana who gave $450, Shy in Ingalls, Indiana who pledged $50 per month for 12 months for a total gift of $600, Aaron in Fort Bragg, North Carolina who gave $1,000, Katie in Hutchinson, Kansas who gave $1,000, and Scooter in Naples, Florida who will match those last two $1,000 donations with another $2,000 gift of his own. Those 17 Worldview listeners gave a total of $6,821. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $38,892.20 (People clapping and cheering sound effect)   That means we fell $22,857.80 short of our $61,750 mid-point goal to stay on the air and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Toward this Friday, June 20th's goal of $92,625, we need to raise $53,732.80. Remember, if you are one of the 4 final people who give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift.  Now, if that happens today, Monday, June 16th we will have raised an additional $8,000. In order to raise the remaining amount, I need to find 38 Worldview listeners who will pledge $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600. And another 76 listeners to pledge $25/month for 12 months for a gift of $300. Has God placed it on your heart to be one of the Christian patriots to fund this unparalleled newscast which unashamedly cites relevant Scripture, includes compelling soundbites, and practical action steps to speak out for Biblical principles?

On this week's Ministry Minute, we delve into the significance of ensuring that our spiritual practices and devotion to God are truly meaningful. We emphasize the importance of God as the unwavering foundation and driving force behind our actions, rather than merely feeling obligated. Take a moment to reflect on your genuine ‘why' and ensure that your heart aligns with God's will. #SelfReflection #JesusLovesYou #MinistryMinuteIs It In Vain? | Ministry Minute EP267Romans 10:9:That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.We all have sinned, we all have made mistakes, but in spite of our imperfections, a perfect God sent His Perfect Son to die for those very imperfect sins, so we can have eternal life. THAT'S REAL LOVE. THAT'S JESUS' LOVE. In order to receive this forgiveness you must confess and repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ into your heart which you can do by saying this prayer wholeheartedly:Dear God,I confess and admit that I am a sinner, and I ask that You please forgive me and save me. I renounce and repent of all my sins, iniquities, and wrongdoings. I confess that Jesus, You are LORD, and I believe with all my heart that You died and rose again. I put my complete faith in Your finished works on the cross and I believe because of Your Blood that was shed, my sins can be forgiven. I ask that You be the Head of my life and the LORD of my life from this day forward, and I ask that You please help me to live for You all the days of my life.In Jesus Name I Pray,Amen.I'm Saved, What's Next:- Be Baptized In Jesus Name- Be Filled With The Holy Ghost- Live A Holy LifeJesus Is Soon To Return— BE READY!!#Christianity #Christian #Jesus #Bible #God #Faith #JesusChrist #Church #love #Bibleverse #Gospel #prayer #HolySpirit #Godisgood #pray #biblestudy #Scripture #hope #truth #religion #JesusLovesYou #worship #grace #JesusSaves #amen #blessed #Christianlivinghttps://www.joshuahopkinsstudios.com/ministryminute

Welcome to an unveiling of a heartfelt new series, "Dear God," as we embark on the eighth season of "Have Faith, Let It Begin." In this unique series starting every Wednesday, we invite our audience to share their prayers and reflections, which will be presented as anonymous letters to God. This season promises a journey of faith, self-discovery, and shared spiritual growth. Whether penned from your hearts or unseen voices, these letters aim to connect us all through our shared reliance on faith, celebrating God's unwavering presence in our lives. Join Angel Santana and the community in embracing this spiritual endeavor, believing that God's love is steadfast and His plans for us are profound. Let us step forward with faith, knowing that He will guide and support us every step of the way.

And Another One…. Please, welcome Esteban Hernandez, he is a former boss of mine. The reason why I wanted to bring Esteban and share his story is because he impressed me with his confidence and hard work. He's not scared to start a new venture… and my first question was… why isn't he scared God? So I stared asking Esteban deep questions to investigate, find out, to try and understand… and I discovered that our past traumas and social environment are huge factors to our development. Now, this doesn't mean we have the excuses to fail because our environment and traumas predefined us for failure… NO! We must convert the pain and hurt to motivation and fuel to propel our goals and dreams (We just needed someones help, mom, dad, brother, sister, and even if no one help… we always had God in our corner without even knowing it). But… Esteban had both his mom and dad at home growing up, he never heard mom and dad fight, was demonstrated love and support thru out his childhood. Esteban was supported, taught, and given values constantly by both parents. So this really got my attention, so I started asking God more questions… how much more confidence does this give him? How does this shape his confidence? His decision making? His fear or flight pattern?? Well… take a listen to watch the episode to see how powerful a mom and dad truly are for themselves but for their children, Thank you Esteban for coming on the podcast, sharing your story and giving us an understanding of the power of true pure… LOVE!! Please connect with us, via comments, your stories, what relates and / or what helps you… as we understand we are not alone or the only ones. Help is here for you too. Family and friends I ask for a favor, please feel free to comment, share, like, subscribe and turn on notifications! My email is Themaceffect19@gmail.com for all questions and inquiries. I promise you this will bless you. How do I know, because my God word is never void. My (our) prayer for this season 5, Dear God, gives us the wisdom to hear and listen with attention, patience and the will to accept what is for me (us). I ask that you develop and grow me (us) as individuals, so that I (we) can be of a blessings to those around us, family, friends and all relationships in between. I have faith and strongly believe this season 5 will be of impact and create memorable moments. Bring… change, challenge, and healing. The MAC Effect is in your hands, grow it, use it, this is yours. I pray for the mission statement to be: “Helping / Leading hurt people, to hope. In heart, mind, body and spirit” but open to change if you please to do so.

Mon Dieu. Lieber Gott. Dear God. I heard French, German, Slovak, Greek, and English prayers echo through the central Athens church as in unison we prayed in our native languages for people in our home countries to hear of God’s love. The beauty of the gathering was magnified when we realized our gathering was happening on Pentecost. In the Old Testament, Pentecost was a harvest festival celebrated fifty days after the Passover festival (Leviticus 23:15-21). On the first Pentecost following Jesus’ death and resurrection, believers gathered in Jerusalem. Suddenly a sound like “violent wind” came, and “what seemed to be tongues of fire” appeared as they were filled with the Spirit and “began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” (Acts 2:4). Visitors from other nations heard “the wonders of God” in their own language (v. 11). Then, after Peter “addressed the crowd,” many believed the message that Jesus was crucified and raised to life to offer forgiveness (vv. 14, 22-41). The multilingual prayers of the ministry leaders assembled in Athens reminded me that Peter’s message heard at Pentecost continues to be shared around the world, and people are still responding in faith. Let’s pray for the Spirit to empower us like the early believers in Jesus at Pentecost to tell of God’s love. And let’s pray for the message to be heard in every language spoken around the world.

In this episode of Dear God, Unscripted, JB and Kiara look back on how their faith has grown—from little kids in church trying to make sense of it all, to grown folks still figuring it out. They swap stories about how they used to see God, what church was like growing up, and how things hit different now. It's honest, funny, and full of those “dang, that's real” moments. At the heart of it all, it's about love—God's love.Chapters00:00 The Evolution of Faith: Childhood Memories09:45 Teenage Years and Early Adulthood15:15 Reflections on Personal Growth and Challenges15:46 Finding Faith Through Family Struggles22:27 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing22:50 Navigating Relationships and Spiritual Abuse27:12 Experiencing Freedom in Faith30:15 Wrestling with God and Understanding Love37:55 Embracing Love and Acceptance in FaithTakeawaysFaith is not one-size-fits-all—it grows and shifts as life does.

The MAC effect is welcoming Tommy Huynh @tommyhuynh He is a husband, a father, a business owner, off road mountain bike rider, and more. Please welcome Tommy with lots of love and bravery to share his story. Tommy lost his father at the age of 12. Grew up knowing about God but hated Him for a very long time due to his fathers passing. He shares how he felt unloved by his mother and family, never really seemed loved in other places, but did seek adrenaline by fighting, breaking the law and following the wrong type of crowd. Which lead him to do some prison time. Crazy right!!  To be honest, when be first explained this to me… I said… “Tommy, no way! Not you… you are a peaceful man, a relaxing man, a business owner, and I can see you have it all together'. And Tommy just lough. Not because I said something funny… but because Tommy was realizing how good and far God has brought him. Tommy has his own YouTube channel @tommyhuynh t_wrex_mtb where she shows off his skills and passion. He also owns along with his wife a Vietnamese restaurant called Monarch9 in Yorba Linda, check them out amazing food and atmosphere. I want to thank Tommy for sharing his story but more importantly being brave enough to heal from his past to create the beautiful future he currently has. If you have any questions for Tommy or myself please ask… out information is here and would love to help.

Author John Lynch gives his first ever prayer to God when He was a kid. From his book “On My Worst Day”  www.http://johnLynchspeaks.com

Is anything holding you back from fully embracing Christ?Today's message from Jerry Leachman closes with this prayer, interceding for all istening:"Dear God, there's no catch today. We don't have anything for anybody to join. We don't want anybody's money. We don't want anybody's anything. We're a band of brothers in here this morning. Lord, if there are men here that go, 'You know, I've believed in Christ, but I think the chaplain's right. I've been chasing idols. That's what's been holding me back.'Lord, I pray we just crash and break all the idols, like in the book of Acts. Paul went in and shared Christ with a town, and it says they begin to destroy all their idols. Idols either break our heart, leave us frustrated, or punish us all our days. There may be guys here who go, 'You know, I've never connected with Christ.' They may be looking over the ledge of that crater. I pray they would jump in the arms of Jesus. Now.I pray we all would jump into the crater in the arms of Christ. Lord... when my faith gets really thin, and it does from time to time. I think, 'I can't see you Lord, but You can see me.' Thank God Almighty.Thank you for Eric Liddell's example. He knew You made him fast. These men are so gifted, so talented. I pray they would get a chance to use their gifts, their talents; and when they do, they'd feel Your pleasure. But I pray they'd cease trying to validate themselves, stop wasting their life, covering up, trying to convince everybody else they're somebody they're not. Let them walk out of here free men today, I love the words of William Wallace about to go into impossible battle. He said: 'Men, the moment's going to come for all of us when we die. By God's help, let's just at least die free men.'Lord, I don't want to go to my grave a slave. I don't want to live another day a slave. Free us today, Lord. We're asking You for a miracle here today. In Christ's name, amen. Amen." - Jerry LeachmanJerry Leachman of ⁠⁠Leachman Ministries⁠⁠ is a favorite speaker at The Center's events. Along with being an associate Chaplain in The NFL for many years, Jerry has done ministry in Guatemala, Scotland, Russia, Europe and Africa as well as all over the U.S. He and his wife Holly have been on Young Life Staff and continue to be involved with Young Life here and also internationally.

Let’s be honest—most of us have questions we’re holding close to the chest. Why am I struggling? Why didn’t God intervene? Why now? The beauty of faith isn’t in pretending we don’t have questions—it’s in knowing exactly where to take them.

In this vulnerable follow-up to episode 90 ("Grace for Two"), we (Kiara and Jordan) are opening up about one of the most challenging parts of our marriage: navigating pain with sex due to pelvic floor tension (Vaginismus), wrestling with sexual shame, and learning how to build real intimacy when it doesn't come naturally.This conversation is raw and emotional. We're not experts—we're just two people trying to love each other well through pain, confusion, and grace. We talk about how our bodies and our hearts have been shaped by unmet expectations, and the slow, sacred work of healing together.If you've ever felt broken, ashamed, or alone in your intimacy struggles, this one is for you. You're not alone. And you are so deeply loved—even in the hard places.
