Pastor David teaches from 2 Timothy 3:1-5 on difficult times, disordered loves, and the deeper power.

Life can bring seasons that feel dry, overwhelming, or uncertain. But God promises that even in the driest times, He can still pour out His Spirit and bring renewal. Isaiah 44:3–4 is a promise not just for individuals, but for families and future generations — God gives us confidence by reminding us that His Spirit can transform any situation.Isaiah 44:3–4“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out MySpirit on your offspring, and My blessing on your descendants.”God can see places in our lives that might feel empty or barren, but He promises to bring life,refreshing, and generational blessing. 1. You Can Be Confident You're Not Limited by Your Present ConditionEven “dry ground” is not a problem for God — it's the exact place where He works. ● Dryness can look like disappointment, lack of direction, fear, or emotional exhaustion.● Psalm 107:35 reminds us that God turns desert places into pools of water.● Many people today are thirsty — for love, acceptance, hope, and purpose — andGod can satisfy that thirst by pouring out His Spirit.● Your condition is not your conclusion. God can bring renewal where things lookimpossible. 2. You Can Be Confident in the Work of the Holy SpiritTrue transformation comes from the Spirit working in us.The Spirit brings:● Cleansing — Titus 3:5–6: We are washed and renewed.● Reviving — God breathes life into what seems dead or stuck.● Sustaining — John 7:37–39: Streams of living water flow from within us.● Growth — Galatians 5:22–23: The Spirit produces lasting fruit (love, joy, peace, etc.).Our confidence will grow when we rely on the Spirit daily — through prayer, the Word, worship, and remaining in God's presence.3. You Can Be Confident Because God's Promise Is GenerationalGod's work in your life is not meant to stop with you.● Isaiah 44:3–4 shows that God pours out His Spirit on your children and descendants.● Acts 2:38–39: The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off.● Acts 2:17: God pours out His Spirit on every generation.● God desires revival in families — restoration of relationships, unity, and for spiritualblessing to be passed down.You can trust that what God starts in your life can mark your whole family line.APPLICATION● Believe that God is working right now, even where things feel dry or difficult.● Welcome the Holy Spirit into every area of your life — He renews, restores, andstrengthens you.● Pray for generational blessing. Ask God to move in your family, children, and futuredescendants.● Expect renewal, not just survival. God wants you to flourish, not just endure.● Let the dry places become places of testimony. They are where God can pour out HisSpirit most powerfully.

When we agree to practice joy through community, connection, and belonging in its own powerful way, it is an act of defiance to what's going on around us. We must ask ourselves, particularly in these difficult times, what we are fighting for? We fight for a meaningful world that yields joy. This commitment to fostering shared happiness becomes the ultimate evidence of resilience and a deeply healing public force.When we agree to practice joy through community, connection, and belonging in its own powerful way, it is an act of defiance to what's going on around us.

God has called us to live with a strength that comes from the inside. A strength rooted in His Spirit.In this message, Pastor John shares how true inner strength isn't found in wealth, accomplishments, or even willpower, but through surrender to Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit within us.From Ephesians 3, we see God's promise of unlimited resources. Strength, peace, and comfort flood into our lives when we trust Him. This kind of strength empowers us to stand firm in trials, forgive when it feels impossible, and reflect Christ's love to a hurting world.When we surrender, He produces fruit in us. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. These fruits not only strengthen us, but become a fragrance of Christ to others.If you've been feeling weak, depleted, or overwhelmed, this message will remind you that God wants you strong, and His Spirit provides all you need to walk in victory.

Life can leave us feeling like victims of our circumstances—overwhelmed by grief, hardship, or unfair struggles. In today's prayer and devotional, Scripture calls us to shift our perspective: instead of asking “Why me, God?” we can ask “How can You use this, Lord?” Keri Eichberger shares the inspiring story of her friend Mark, who battled cancer with unshakable faith. Even in his hardest days, Mark chose to see himself not as a victim but as a vessel of God’s glory. His testimony reminds us that God can redeem our suffering for good and use our pain to point others to His strength and hope. When we lean not on our own understanding but on the Lord, our hardships become platforms for His faithfulness. Today, ask yourself: Am I living as a vessel of God’s light, or am I letting my circumstances define me as a victim? Today's Bible Reading: “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5 Key Takeaways God can use even the hardest circumstances to bless others and bring Him glory. Choosing to be a vessel shifts our mindset from despair to purpose. Trusting God with all our heart allows us to endure trials with peace and hope. Our legacy can inspire faith in those who watch how we live and suffer with trust in God. Let’s Pray Together Heavenly Father, You are the one I can hold tight to. Thank You that You use every valley, every hardship, and every tear for good. Help me choose to be a vessel of Your glory and not a victim of my circumstances. Fill me with Your peace and joy today, so that my story points others to Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Calls to Action Begin each day asking God to make you a vessel of His love and truth. Encourage someone walking through a difficult season by reminding them of God’s presence. Subscribe to Your Daily Prayer to receive fresh encouragement and devotionals each day.

In this episode I'm talking with Julie Green, author of the memoir Motherness, a powerful exploration of generational autism, parenthood, and radical acceptance. Julie, who was late-diagnosed herself and is raising an autistic child, takes us inside her journey of self-discovery and diagnosis, and we talk about the emotional complexities of coming to understand our own neurodivergence while parenting neurodivergent kids. We explore the healing power of writing, the importance of storytelling and compassion, and the challenges many families like ours face along the way. Julie's memoir is a testament to these shared experiences, and this conversation is a deeply honest look at what it means to parent—and to live—with radical acceptance.

(East Bay Meditation Center) Sometimes it is thought that Buddhist practice is exclusively about "inner" transformation. However, the Buddha himself spoke of going out for the benefit of others and understood basic ethical guidelines socially. Later approaches and tradition, such as embodied in the rule of King Ashoka and the Mahayana vision of the bodhisattva, also manifest the connection of inner and outer transformation. In this talk, a contemporary "Eightfold Path" is offered to support connecting inner and outer transformation--bringing our practice into engagement with our contemporary society and world in great need. There are three wisdom guidelines, two meditation guidelines, and three ethical guidelines. The talk is followed by discussion.

In Conference 8, Fr.

Jen has been a quiet superfan of David Gate ever since discovering one of his poems on Instagram and instantly texting it to six friends. A British-born poet, writer, and visual artist, David explores themes of care, community, and spiritual resilience. Today, he joins Jen and Amy to talk about his latest work, A Rebellion of Care—a powerful blend of essays and poetry rooted in tenderness, authenticity, and resistance. From writing to flour milling and homesteading, David's life is a living practice of nurturing both self and community with intention. Key highlights from this conversation include:  How radical tenderness can be an act of resistance Why are many people living  radicalized lives without realizing it, and often for things they don't truly care about How homesteading is a rebellion against modern food practices Reimagining masculinity and what it could look like in a better world Building community and friendship as a vital source of joy and support in life How anger and joy are companion emotions The sacredness of everyday practices Thought-provoking Quotes: “I did not want to have an email job and I did not want to be in meetings that could have been emails. I did not want to be on Slack. I just didn't want that to be what I was spending my time doing. I loved caring for people, and I loved creating and writing, and I got to do that within the church world.” – David Gate “It's just very hard not to be cynical about everything and what I found was that I was cynical because I really, really cared. And, because I really, really cared, everything was just so overwhelming, and the easiest way to deal with that was to shut down and be cynical and be snarky. But, I realized that I had to press through and embrace what was behind that cynicism. so I had to really embrace my own earnestness and my own care in the world and concentrate on what I wanted to build rather than what I wanted to tear down.” – David Gate “It's a constant battle to speak the truth. Even things we all know It can be difficult to say, if it's not something that is normally said, and it's not something that is normally expressed, so you have to fight for that and you have to fight for your experience of the truth. You have to fight for your story. You have to fight for all of that.” – David Gate “I think it's very, very difficult for men to reach for emotional honesty because everything tells you that you're failing if you do that. But it's the most important work right now. And so much of what men are actually looking for in this world, intimacy, a sense of place, a sense of belonging, companionship, adventure, excitement, is on the other side of reaching for that emotional honesty.” – David Gate Resources Mentioned in This Episode: A Rebellion of Care: Poems and Essays by David Gate - https://amzn.to/4jjf87X Good Soil: The Education of an Accidental Farmhand by Jeff Chu - https://amzn.to/3GnS21w Cultivating Belonging and Evolving Faith with Jeff Chu - https://jenhatmaker.com/podcasts/series-64/cultivating-belonging-and-evolving-faith-with-jeff-chu/ Sarah Bessey - https://www.sarahbessey.com/ Armando Veve, Illustrator - https://www.instagram.com/armandoveve/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3YHKgpw Sinners film (2025) - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31193180/ Malaprop's Bookstore, Asheville - https://www.malaprops.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://www.davidgatepoet.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/davidgatepoet/ Substack - https://substack.com/@davidgatepoet Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
