Are your desires helping you move forward—or quietly getting in your way? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share a simple but powerful leadership lesson inspired by intermittent fasting. While the example starts with food, the real message is about how momentary desires—often driven by habits and situations—can pull us off our long-term path. Desire is powerful. It can motivate us. But if we don't keep it in perspective, it can also distract us from the future we truly want.

It's easy to believe that if we could just make a little more money, acquire a few more possessions, get that big promotion, or go on that fancy vacation, then we would finally be at peace - We'll finally be happy. Desires like this rarely feel dangerous, so how can we know when our greed crosses the line into something more destructive?

What if the life you've been praying for is grown through faithfulness, not shortcuts? ABOUT THE MESSAGEIn part 4 of The Way To Live, Pastor Mark Stermer teaches us that just like a garden, our lives require intentional care or weeds will take over. God promises to fulfill the desires of our hearts when we trust Him, do good, and remain faithful where He has planted us. This message explores what it means to cultivate a life that honors God instead of chasing shortcuts. When we delight ourselves in the Lord, He shapes our desires and brings real fruit. ABOUT JESUSIf you want to learn more about who Jesus is and what it means to have a relationship with Him, we would love to help you on that journey: https://www.thechurch.fm/jesus For a deeper dive into The Word of God on a daily basis check out our Free Ancient Paths Daily Devotional: https://www.thechurch.fm/ancient-paths WHO WE AREWe believe that the goal of every Christian is To Be Conformed Into the Image of Jesus Christ, and a relationship with Jesus as well as being involved in a healthy church community are both important to achieving that goal.

In the first chapter of John we encounter three questions: Who is Jesus? What do you want? Where are you staying? These questions are just as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago, challenging us to set our desires in order and to abide with Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

Marriage is hard. That may not sound spiritual, but it's certainly biblical. From the moment sin entered the garden, marriage has been both a battlefield and a blessing. And if you've ever tried to love someone as much as you love yourself, you know the cost. That's why this book matters. In Marriage or Mayhem?, I offer more than principles—I offer a framework, a theology, and a map. With years of experience counseling couples in crisis and equipping churches to disciple well, I learned a few things about getting beneath the surface. I name the real problems—idolatry, self-centeredness, functional theology—and bring the only real solution: Christ at the center.

It’s natural to make plans and build dreams for the future—sometimes down to the smallest details. But this devotional reminds us that God often reshapes our desires in unexpected ways, not to disrupt us, but to lead us into something better than we would have chosen on our own. The author shares a personal story of feeling settled and satisfied with “the plan,” only to sense a growing restlessness and lack of purpose. That discomfort became an invitation: not to work harder or force a new direction, but to draw closer to God. As she leaned into delighting in the Lord—through prayer, Scripture, and time in His presence—God began to place new desires in her heart. Not just new ideas, but new longings. The devotional emphasizes an important truth: when we truly seek God, He doesn’t simply demand we follow His will; He begins to shape our hearts so that what He wants becomes what we want. He opens what was closed off, softens what was resistant, and turns hesitation into genuine yearning. This doesn’t mean God’s desires will always feel easy or convenient. Sometimes His leading invites change, sacrifice, or steps that feel uncomfortable. But the devotional anchors us in Psalm 18:30—God’s way is perfect, His Word is flawless, and He protects those who take refuge in Him. God’s plans aren’t random; they’re trustworthy. And as we stay close to Him, our desires gradually align with His heart, and we find deeper joy in the path He unfolds. Today’s invitation is simple: dive deep into delighting in God. Because the closer we stay to Him, the more we come to trust His way—and the more our lives reflect the beauty of His perfect plan. Main Takeaways God may reshape your desires—not to take from you, but to lead you into something better. Drawing close to God helps realign your heart with His will. When you delight in the Lord, He can transform hesitation into genuine desire for His plans. God’s way is trustworthy, protective, and perfect—even when it stretches you. Staying close to God leads to deeper joy as His plans unfold. Today’s Bible Verse: “As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.” - Psalm 18:30 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Help me not forget that your will and way are perfect and that your plans are better than anything I could have ever dreamed.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

Vision Sunday at Shiloh Church is more than an update — it's an invitation into where God is leading us and how He's shaping our hearts along the way. In this powerful and deeply pastoral message, Pastor Lacey shares the blueprints God has been highlighting for Shiloh Church in the year ahead. With joy, clarity, and honesty, she walks through upcoming shifts in service times, the addition of a Friday night community, and the heart behind why Shiloh is choosing depth of presence and authentic community over growth for growth's sake. But Vision Sunday doesn't stop with logistics. Pastor Lacey introduces a new leadership and culture standard for Shiloh: feedback — not as criticism or control, but as a love-driven pathway to growth, trust, and restoration. Rooted in Matthew 18 and supported throughout Scripture, this teaching reframes feedback as a biblical, relational tool designed to protect unity, promote maturity, and reflect the heart of the Father. This message speaks to anyone who: • Struggles with giving or receiving feedback • Has been wounded by correction done poorly • Desires healthier relationships, families, and church culture • Wants to grow in Christlikeness without fear or shame • Is curious about Shiloh Church's vision, values, and future Vision Sunday is a call to move forward together — anchored in joy, led by love, strengthened by trust, and committed to becoming more like Jesus. If you're longing for a church culture marked by God's presence, real community, and courageous love, this message is for you.

The Law vs. The Label: Staying Free in Christ"So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law." — Galatians 5:1The Battle for the MindI've been reading and studying the book of Galatians and really thinking about what it means to have complete freedom in Christ. When Paul wrote to the Galatians on Christian liberty, he was addressing a specific crisis: legalism. Judaizers had entered the church teaching Gentile believers that they had to obey the Old Testament Law—specifically circumcision—to be truly saved.Paul wrote to settle the score on:Works vs. God's GraceTrue Freedom vs. Religious SlaveryThe Power of the Holy Spirit vs. The Desires of the FleshNew Life in the Here and NowWhen we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are made free and new. We don't just look forward to an everlasting life in heaven; we get to partake in an abundant life on earth here and now. We are called to walk in the very "newness of life" Paul describes in Romans 6:4:"For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives."This abundant life will have challenges and trials. I bring this up to remind you of your responsibility to develop a total dependence on the Lord. It is through these challenges that we grow and become spiritually mature.From Bondage to VictoryThe word "freedom" means so much to me because I know what it feels like to be trapped in bondage to the attacks of the enemy. But I also know what it's like to see those chains of oppression fall in the name of Jesus, never to return.Your freedom in Christ is secure when you put your faith in Jesus and make Him your Lord and Savior. We await a hopeful future when Christ will return to fully restore all things—a life where every tear is wiped away (Revelation 21:4-5), where sin no longer rules, and every broken Read the rest at: https://open.substack.com/pub/litwithprayer/p/the-law-vs-the-label-staying-free?r=5sajy&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Hey sister, We've spent the last couple weeks reflecting and letting go — and that work matters. But here's where most people stop. They release… They get clarity… And then they drift right back into the same patterns. So this week's podcast asks the question that changes everything: What do you actually want? Not what you should want. Not what looks good on paper. Not what keeps everyone else comfortable. But what you desire for your life — and what it will require to honor that. In this episode, I talk about: Why desire feels uncomfortable (and why that's not a bad thing) How to tell the difference between intuition and pressure Breaking desire into real-life categories so it doesn't stay vague Turning what you want into realistic, aligned action — without overwhelm If you're tired of living on autopilot and ready to move forward with intention, this one's for you. And if this stirred something in you and you know you need support, you don't have to do this alone. You can work with me through one-on-one coaching or inside the Collective — both are linked in the show notes. You don't need the whole plan. Just the next honest step. Have questions for me? Let's set up a call. Email me at michelle@setfreesisterhood.com Jump in the collective here: https://setfreesisterhood.thrivecart.com/set-free-sisterhood-collective/

God’s love is better than you’ve been told—and His goodness is the key to your God-given dreams. In this powerful episode of Perspectives with Catherine Toon, Catherine dismantles religious lies about God and reveals a Father who only gives good and perfect gifts, never evil or punishment in disguise. So many of us have been taught to fear our desires, to distrust our hearts, and to wonder if God is secretly against us. Catherine walks us through James 1 and other key scriptures to show that God is never the source of temptation, shame, or destruction—He is the Father of lights, with no shadow of turning. From there, she explores how our true identity in Christ is good, holy, and beloved, even while we’re still a “work in process.” You’ll hear how sin is really a distorted image problem that leads to behaviors that bring death—but your original design in Christ is untouched, rooted in eternal love. Out of that identity, God has planted dreams in you that reflect His heart. He actually wants you to enjoy life, to experience heaven on earth, and to walk in spiritual transformation as you partner with Him. Catherine also shares how a playful, dancing God (Proverbs 8) delights in you, gives you “richly all things to enjoy,” and invites you into a lifestyle of experiencing God in everyday desires, choices, and dreams. This isn’t performance-based religion—it’s awakened sonship and daughterhood. Practical takeaway: Ask Holy Spirit to highlight one deep desire you’ve secretly doubted. Write it down, renounce the lie that God is against it, and pray: “Father, let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this area of my life.” Then listen for how He wants to walk it out with you.

So many couples quietly fear that desire is gone for good… that stress, aging, or hormones have somehow ruined intimacy. In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we offer a powerful reframe: desire doesn't die. It goes offline when the body is overwhelmed.They explore how chronic stress, survival mode, and hormonal shifts shut down pleasure… and how safety, slowing down, and emotional repair bring intimacy back online in ways that feel nourishing instead of forced.This episode is for anyone who wants to stop blaming themselves or their partner and start understanding what their body is actually asking for. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy stress is one of the biggest desire killers and how survival mode overrides pleasure, connection, and libidoHow chronic nervous system activation makes intimacy feel like effort instead of restWhy does desire not disappearHow hormonal shifts in midlife alter the rules of intimacy, inviting presence over performanceWhy touch without agenda and connection without pressure are often what reignite desireHow unspoken resentment and lack of repair quietly shut down erotic alivenessDesire isn't broken.Your body is protecting you. And when safety returns, pleasure remembers how to rise again. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

In today's episode of Made for Impact, Petia opens her heart and shares the life-changing shift that happens when we reorder our priorities — not around hustle, business, or self-development — but around God. As a former entrepreneur who once led a big team and prioritized productivity and results, everything changed when she became a follower of Christ. In this episode, she shares why putting God first is not only biblical, but deeply practical — for marriage, motherhood, business, peace, and purpose. You'll learn: • Why the order of priorities matters more than we realize • What truly happens when we put God first • The biblical principle of “first fruits” and why it applies to your time, energy, and attention • How marriage, motherhood, business, and self-worth shift when God is at the center • Simple, realistic ways to put God first — even if you feel overwhelmed, busy, or exhausted • Why giving God whatever energy is “left over” never leads to intimacy, peace, or clarity • What can change when you wake up with gratitude, scripture, and surrender • Real examples from Petia's own marriage, family life, and pregnancy This episode is for the woman who: • Loves God, but feels pulled in 100 directions • Wants to deepen her faith in real, practical daily ways • Desires peace instead of pressure • Longs for her marriage, motherhood, and calling to be rooted in God — not hustle You'll leave with clarity, conviction, encouragement, and simple steps to start tomorrow morning with God at the center. TOP THEMES IN THIS EPISODE: • God first, above all things • First fruits • Priorities in marriage and family • Living from love instead of depletion • Presence over perfection • Intimacy with God over routine • Order before overflow CONNECT WITH PETIA: Instagram: @petiakolibova Bible Study Community: Deeply Devoted Join here: https://bit.ly/DeeplyDevotedBIBLEstudy Join the weekly Bible study, connect with women of faith, and go deeper in God's Word with support, accountability, and love.

This week, in Waterford, Connecticut, the bodies of multiple women are placed on rural streets & posed, in a certain way, while having the exact same cause of death. Detectives are pretty sure that it's the same killer, possibly a serial killer, but finding that killer isn't so easy. The case goes cold, until a seemingly minor incident eventually leads to a most horrid, and cold blooded killer! How many more bodies could there be?   Along the way, we find out that line dancing is more of a choreographed sport, than actual dancing, that people from entirely different backgrounds, and entirely different minds can end up in the same exact place, and that some terrible people just take after their fathers!!   New episodes, every Wednesday & Friday nights!!
