In this week's episode, Ken celebrates his 35th wedding anniversary and reflects on the deeper spiritual connections that come from moving beyond a checklist approach to living the gospel. Drawing on personal conversations and church experiences, Ken explores how many of us—especially within the culture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—tend to view our relationship with God as transactional, focusing on rules and guidelines just to check off the boxes. He shares his thoughts on why it's important to transition from this checklist mentality to building an authentic, meaningful relationship with the divine. Ken also invites listeners to consider the motivations behind their actions, both in spiritual practices and everyday relationships, encouraging a thoughtful shift toward deeper connections. Join Ken as he digs into these sweet nuggets of insight and offers an invitation to make your spiritual journey a little more meaningful.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

A healthy relationship with Jesus is a humble relationship with Jesus. Humility invited Jesus, it creates sobriety, and brings honour.

My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net. As always, I appreciate your feedback, questions, and reviews!” Resilience is the ability to withstand, recover and even thrive in the midst of life's challenges while trusting God to accomplish His work. Resilience is really about our Faith. It is the strength and endurance to keep pressing forward in the face of adversity, maintaining faith in God's sovereignty and goodness. Resilience is not simply about surviving difficulty, but about growing spiritually and becoming more Christ-like in the process. Biblical Understanding of Resilience Patience Matures Our Faith: James 1:2-4 See trials as opportunities for spiritual growth: Resilience is tied to patience developed through trials. Instead of letting trials break us, we allow them to refine and mature our faith, making us more like Jesus. God's Strength in Our Weakness: The Apostle Paul exemplifies resilience in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: Resilience in the Christian life is not about our own strength, but about relying on God's strength. Our weakness becomes the vehicle for God's power to work through us, glorifying God and accomplishing His Will. Imitate Christ's Example: Hebrews 12:1-2, Follow Jesus' example of enduring the cross, all for the joy set before Him: Jesus endured because He had an eternal perspective. Resilience, for the follower of Christ, involves fixing our eyes on the hope and reward that await us in eternity. Tis life is the journey that God uses to prepare us for eternity with Him. Trusting God's Promises Leads to Hope: Romans 5:3-5 : Hope is really important when we face challenges. And there is always Hope in Jesus! Trials refine our character and deepen our relationship with God. Knowing Him and His purposes, ultimately makes us more resilient in our Journey of Faith. Resilience and Discipleship In the life of a believer, resilience is directly connected to discipleship and spiritual growth. Discipleship is not just about learning doctrine or performing religious duties; it is about becoming more like Jesus. As we endure trials with faith and patience, we grow in spiritual maturity and learn to depend on God more fully. Resilience Shapes Character: As we persevere through challenges, our character is refined, and we learn to love, trust, and obey God more fully. Romans 5:3-5 shows that tribulation produces perseverance, which leads to stronger character and unshakable hope. Resilience Cultivates Faithfulness: Discipleship is about the journey of following God daily in every circumstances. 1 Peter 1:6-7 reminds us that our faith is tested, and once proven, brings glory to God: As we remain faithful under trial, we demonstrate the genuineness of our faith. This faith, Real, tested and proven, will bring glory to God. Spiritual Growth Through Trials: The process of growing as a disciple requires us to be resilient. Trials are the training ground for spiritual maturity if you are a disciple of Jesus. He never promised an easy path! But He promises that it would be worth it in the end. The Role of the Holy Spirit in Resilience The Holy Spirit is integral to developing resilience. Romans 8:11 speaks of the power of the Holy Spirit to give life and strength to believers: The same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead enables believers to live with endurance, overcoming obstacles and remaining faithful in trials. Prayer and trusting God to work when our strength is gone are both Key for developing the abiity to get up every time life knocks you down. Resilience Keeps You On The Path To Christ-likeness As we endure hardship, we grow in patience, character, and hope, which ultimately leads to greater spiritual maturity. This process is central to ongoing discipleship, as it shapes us into the image of Christ. A disciple of Jesus is on a continual journey of growing in faith, learning to rely on God's strength daily, and persevering through life's trials. Both disciples and disciple makers have a role to play in this journey of Faith. Spiritual strength is nurtured through the spiritual disciplines as we deepen our relationship with God, and learn to trust in His faithfulness. How To Develop Resilience See the Big Picture: God is at work in the world and trials are normal and natural. The goal is not to avoid them but to grow through them. Let God accomplish His work in your life. God opens doors for ministry through our personal trials, look for them! Do everything that you can to grow and mature your Faith! Be intentional about life, particularly your spiritual life. Embrace God's Word: One of the foundational ways a disciple develops resilience is through a deeper understanding of and trust in God's Word. The Bible gives an eternal perspective for enduring trials. By studying Scripture, disciples learn what God is doing and learn to trust His promises, which gives them the strength to persevere. Psalm 119:50: A Deeper Relationship with God: Resilience is nurtured through a close relationship with God. Everything that we do to draw closer to Him helps prepare us for the next challenge. Prayer, meditation and memorizaton of the Bible and time with God's family all strengthen our trust in God's provision, wisdom, and presence. Jesus modeled these in His own life, we should do no less. Philippians 4:6-7: Through Reliance on God's Strength (Not Our Own): Resilience is not about self-sufficiency, but about relying on God's strength. The Apostle Paul was a model of this truth, understanding that his weakness allowed God's strength to be more clearly displayed. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10: A disciple develops resilience by recognizing that through their weakness that God's power is most evident. This humility and dependence on God's grace is key to enduring trials with perseverance. Through Practicing Obedience and Faithfulness in Small Things: Resilience is developed when a disciple learns to be faithful in the small things, trusting God in everyday life. Obedience, even in seemingly insignificant matters, builds the foundation for enduring greater trials. Luke 16:10: By being faithful in small matters, a disciple strengthens their ability to endure more significant trials and challenges. Through Fellowship with Other Believers: Resilience is also cultivated in the context of community. Believers encourage one another, pray for one another, and share in each other's struggles. Being part of a supportive Christian community strengthens a disciple's ability to persevere. Hebrews 10:24-25: Fellowship provides encouragement and accountability, helping disciples remain resilient as they navigate life's challenges. How a Disciple Maker Helps Others Develop Resilience A disciple maker has a unique role in helping others grow in resilience by walking alongside them, providing guidance, and encouraging them to press on in their faith. Here's how a disciple maker can help others develop resilience: Modeling Resilience through Personal Example: One of the most powerful ways a disciple maker can encourage resilience is by modeling it in their own life. When a disciple maker faces trials and shows how they rely on God's strength, it serves as a powerful testimony for others to follow. 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7: Teaching the Importance of Perspective: Disciple makers can help others develop resilience by teaching them to have an eternal perspective on their trials. They can point others to the hope of eternal life and the ultimate victory that awaits, even in the midst of hardship. Romans 8:18: By helping others keep an eternal perspective, disciple makers teach them to view their trials in light of God's promises and the hope of future glory. Encouraging the Practice of Spiritual Disciplines: Disciple makers should encourage the regular practice of spiritual disciplines—prayer, Bible study, worship, and fasting—as these practices strengthen the disciple's spiritual resilience. Colossians 2:6-7: Spiritual disciplines help to deepen a disciple's relationship with God, which builds the foundation for resilience. Providing Encouragement and Accountability: A disciple maker should be a source of encouragement and accountability, especially in difficult times. They can remind the disciple of God's faithfulness, pray for them, and offer counsel that points them back to Christ. Galatians 6:2: Helping others bear their burdens is an essential part of developing resilience. A disciple maker should walk alongside their disciples, offering support, encouragement, and wisdom during trials. Helping Disciplines Focus on God's Promises: Disciple makers can help others develop resilience by pointing them back to God's promises in times of hardship. The promises of God's presence, provision, and protection provide a firm foundation for resilience. Isaiah 41:10: A disciple maker can continually remind those they are discipling of the faithfulness of God, helping them to trust in His promises during difficult times. Conclusion A disciple of Jesus develops resilience by deeply engaging with God's Word, prayer, dependence on God's strength, obedience, and fellowship with other believers. A disciple maker helps others develop resilience by modeling it, teaching the importance of perspective, encouraging spiritual disciplines, providing support, and focusing on God's promises. Together, these practices foster a strong, enduring faith that enables believers to press on through trials and grow more like Christ in the process. Doctrine Today Spiritual Warfare   It's not easy to keep going when the journey is long and tough. The good news is that Jesus understands and takes the journey with us. You never have to face the trials alone. Stand tall and lean on Jesus in the middle of Life's storms, trusting that He is growing you into the person you need to be.   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

God Reminds Those Who Want a Deeper Relationship with Him of His Expectations for Their Management of His Resources He Provided Them MESSAGE SUMMARY: As followers of Jesus, we want to go deeper in our personal relationship with God. However, God tells some of us that we must start being more responsible for the material things that He has provided before we can go deeper into spiritual revelations. Also, many of us, while seeking to know the Lord better, want to know His will in our lives and for the World. At the same time, we want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In Mathew 6:19-21, Jesus is telling us that all that we have, which we tend to call our own, really comes from God. God has expectations for our good management of His resources in our personal relationship with Him: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.".   God tells us that we are to be good managers of His gifts; however, in Luke 12:19-21, Jesus completes a parable about a man who thought that all his assets were his and not from God: “'And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”. Pointedly, God is telling us that if we cannot be responsible for the earthly treasures, which He has provided us, then how can we be responsible for His Spiritual treasures that He wants to provide us as we seek to deepen our personal relationship with Him?     TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Despair. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Joy. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

In this episode, we focus on the Holy Spirit as the ultimate source of discernment for believers, as affirmed in John 16:13. We'll explore the transformative role of the Spirit in enhancing our spiritual awareness and clarity, and provide practical advice on how to deepen our relationship with the Holy Spirit to maintain a continuous flow of divine discernment.Our springboard for today's discussion is: John 16:13: "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth." This promise from Jesus highlights the Holy Spirit's role as a guide into truth, equipping us with discernment that penetrates beyond surface appearances to the spiritual realities underlying our everyday experiences.Discernment is more than a skill; it's a spiritual endowment that comes from the Holy Spirit. It involves not just the mind, but the spirit of a believer being attuned to God's frequencies.The Role of the Holy Spirit in Providing Discernment:* Spiritual Guidance: The Holy Spirit guides believers into all truth, offering clarity and insight into complex situations and spiritual dilemmas.* Enhancement of Spiritual Senses: Regular interaction with the Holy Spirit sharpens our spiritual senses, allowing us to discern not only right from wrong but also the best from the good.How Being Filled with the Spirit Enhances Discernment:* Increased Sensitivity: A life filled with the Spirit is marked by increased sensitivity to the spiritual environment, enabling believers to detect subtle shifts and undercurrents that might otherwise go unnoticed.* Wisdom in Decision Making: The Holy Spirit's guidance is crucial for making decisions that align with God's will, providing a check against our own biases and blind spots.Practical Steps to Cultivate a Deeper Relationship with the Holy Spirit for Discernment:* Consistent Prayer: Develop a robust prayer life that prioritizes listening to the Holy Spirit. This practice is foundational to fostering a responsive relationship with Him.* Scripture Engagement: Immerse yourself in Scripture. The Word of God is the sword of the Spirit, and understanding it deeply enhances your discernment.* Obedience: Respond promptly to the Holy Spirit's promptings. Obedience cultivates a deeper intimacy with Him, which in turn, sharpens your discernment.ConclusionThe Holy Spirit is not just a helper; He is the source of profound spiritual insights and discernment. Cultivating a relationship with Him is essential for anyone who desires to navigate life with spiritual accuracy and clarity.A Question of the Day: What are some ways you can actively seek to enhance your responsiveness to the Holy Spirit's guidance in your daily life?Growth Challenge: This week, choose one decision you need to make and intentionally seek the Holy Spirit's guidance on it. Spend extra time in prayer and Scripture related to this decision and note any insights or convictions that arise. Reflect on how these influenced your decision-making process.Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit, our guide into all truth. Help us to cultivate a deeper fellowship with Him, that our discernment may be continuously sharpened. May we be sensitive to His guidance and courageous in following His lead. In Jesus' name, Amen.As you go about your week, remember that the Holy Spirit is eager to lead you into deeper truth and clearer discernment. Engage with Him, listen to Him, and let His truth transform every area of your life. Let's get to work.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Today's episode delves into the profound relationship between the Holy Spirit and the gift of prophecy, anchored by the insightful declaration from Revelation 19:10. We'll explore how the Holy Spirit empowers believers to prophesy, emphasizing that prophecy serves not just to foretell future events but fundamentally to reveal and testify about Jesus Christ.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Revelation 19:10: "For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." This verse beautifully encapsulates the essence of prophecy within the Christian faith—it's ultimately about bearing witness to Jesus, His life, His teachings, and His redeeming work.Prophecy is one of the spiritual gifts that is dynamically empowered by the Holy Spirit, designed not just for predicting future events but for edifying, encouraging, and comforting the body of Christ with the ultimate aim of glorifying Jesus.The Role of the Holy Spirit in Prophecy:* Empowerment to Prophesy: The Holy Spirit bestows the gift of prophecy, enabling believers to speak God's truth powerfully and timely.* Revelation of Christ: Through prophecy, the Holy Spirit reveals deeper aspects of Christ's character and divine plans, aligning the church's mission and message with the will of God.Exploring Prophecy Beyond Predicting Future Events:* For Edification and Exhortation: Prophecy often serves to build up the church, offer correction, and motivate believers towards spiritual growth and deeper communion with God.* As a Testimony: Every prophetic message that truly originates from the Holy Spirit will in some way point back to Jesus and His gospel, reinforcing the foundational truths of our faith.Guidance on Cultivating a Deeper Relationship with the Holy Spirit:* Regular Prayer and Meditation: Engage consistently in prayer and meditation on the Scriptures to tune your heart to the frequency of the Holy Spirit's voice.* Spiritual Discipline: Foster disciplines such as fasting, worship, and silent contemplation to enhance your spiritual sensitivity and receptivity to prophetic insights.* Community Engagement: Actively participate in a community of faith where prophecy is valued and practiced. This communal context can provide both encouragement and accountability, helping to refine and validate the exercise of your prophetic gift.ConclusionLiving in the power of the Holy Spirit and operating in the gift of prophecy requires a deep, personal relationship with God. It calls for a commitment to not only speak God's truth but to live a life that continuously testifies to the grace and truth of Jesus Christ.A Question of the Day: How can you more actively seek and foster the gift of prophecy in your life as a testimony to Jesus?Growth Challenge: This week, focus on one aspect of Jesus' character or an event in His life. Pray for prophetic insight into this area, and seek to share what you learn with someone else as a form of prophetic encouragement. Document any insights or growth you experience.Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit and the powerful tool of prophecy. Help us to use this gift not just to speak of future events but to reveal more of Jesus to those around us. May our words always align with Your truth and lead others closer to You. Amen.As you step into your week, remember that the spirit of prophecy is the testimony of Jesus. Let this understanding guide you as you seek to grow in the prophetic gift, and may your words and actions always glorify Christ.

God Reminds Those Who Want a Deeper Relationship with Him of His Expectations for Their Management of His Resources He Provided Them MESSAGE SUMMARY: As followers of Jesus, we want to go deeper in our personal relationship with God. However, God tells some of us that we must start being more responsible for the material things that He has provided before we can go deeper into spiritual revelations. Also, many of us, while seeking to know the Lord better, want to know His will in our lives and for the World. At the same time, we want to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In Mathew 6:19-21, Jesus is telling us that all that we have, which we tend to call our own, really comes from God. God has expectations for our good management of His resources in our personal relationship with Him: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.".   God tells us that we are to be good managers of His gifts; however, in Luke 12:19-21, Jesus completes a parable about a man who thought that all his assets were his and not from God: “'And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”. Pointedly, God is telling us that if we cannot be responsible for the earthly treasures, which He has provided us, then how can we be responsible for His Spiritual treasures that He wants to provide us as we seek to deepen our personal relationship with Him?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Self-Centeredness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Love. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Week #26- Luke 9: 23-24- Ep. 141 “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it.” Summary In this conversation, John Grdina and Daniel Galasso discuss Luke 9:23-24, which talks about denying oneself, taking up the cross daily, and following Jesus. They emphasize the importance of walking with Jesus and surrendering to His will. They also discuss the significance of suffering and how it can bring us closer to Christ. They highlight the power of Jesus' blood and the need to have an authentic relationship with Him. They encourage listeners to lead by example and to live a life that reflects Jesus' love and compassion.

I'm blessed and honored to have you with us on this journey, and I know it will impact people. So this book, you'll see I'll have it on the cover of each episode, was found at my grandparents' house after my grandmother died, and my grandfather, it was his, passed away almost five years ago. And the reason why it was on my heart to do this was instead of going by myself, it would be the best How is the best way for fathers or grandfathers to read through Scripture, 52 specific verses, and then how it can be used in their life? So what Daniel and I are going to do is we're going to use the SOAP method: The term "SOAP method" is often associated with a structured approach to studying and reflecting on scripture. The SOAP method is an acronym that stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer. It provides a systematic way to engage with and apply the teachings found in the Bible. Here's a brief overview of each step: 1. **Scripture:**    - Choose a passage or verse from the Bible to focus on. Read and meditate on the selected scripture. 2. **Observation:**    - Reflect on the passage and observe details such as keywords, themes, and any significant context. Consider the historical and cultural context of the passage. 3. **Application:**    - Apply the teachings of the scripture to your own life. Consider how the passage can impact your beliefs, attitudes, and actions. Think about practical steps you can take based on the insights gained from the scripture. 4. **Prayer:**    - Conclude your reflection with a prayer. Communicate with God about what you've learned, express gratitude, seek guidance, or ask for strength to apply the lessons from the scripture.

In this week's podcast, Charbel interviews Dr Edward Sri, author of 'When You Pray'. Do you ever hear Catholics talk about prayer but feel like you can't relate? You know prayer is important, but you still find it challenging. Perhaps it's hard to find time to pray, or you're unsure what to do when you do pray. Or maybe you feel restless and distracted and don't feel close to God. You might struggle to trust God and surrender to his will. What God did in countless saints, he wants to do in ordinary people like us. And that's what this book is about: the journey God wants to take us on in our prayer life. Inspired by the real example of the saints, we will learn how to pray with the same consistency, trust, peace, and passion that led to deep transformation in their souls. When You Pray: Surrender, and the Transformation of Your Soul will help you begin your journey of prayer, rejuvenate your prayer life, and strengthen your relationship with God so that you can give God your entire heart. __________________   Links: https://focus.org/ https://seek.focus.org/ https://edwardsri.com/ When You Pray - A Clear Path to a Deeper Relationship with God: https://store.parousiamedia.com/when-you-pray-a-clear-path-to-a-deeper-relationship-with-god-dr-edward-sri-ascension-paperback/ Join the Parousia mailing list at https://www.parousiamedia.com/mailing-list/ Parousia is committed to proclaiming the fullness of truth!
