How To Discern Your Spiritual Gifts With Jill Simons In this episode, I'm joined by Jill Simons, founder of Many Part Ministries for a conversation that will change the way you think about spiritual gifts, specifically your spiritual gifts. Jill walks us through how charisms (another word for spiritual gifts) help you live in alignment with how God made you, avoid burnout, and start noticing where His grace is already flowing into your life. We talk about how these gifts show up in motherhood, how to identify them, and why it's so freeing to know what to say yes to, and what's okay to let go. You'll hear: The difference between talents and charisms (and why it matters) What "supernatural effectiveness" looks like in your everyday life How knowing your gifts can help you set better boundaries without guilt The practical tools that help you start discerning your charisms right away Whether you've never heard of charisms before or you're ready to dig deeper, Jill makes it easy to get started.

Carole Frey experienced the light of Christ as a child.  Therefore, when Carole has gone through darker seasons in her adult life, she has known where to turn: Jesus. When overwhelmed with anxiety, Carole sensed God drawing her to church. She spoke with her parish priest. In his pastoral care and wise counsel, he encouraged Carole to share her God-given gifts with their community. Carole started playing piano and leading her church choir. Despite unexpected twists and turns in her journey, she has continued to serve both adults and children through her music ministry.  Moreover, Carole notices when someone feels isolated, just like she once did. "I experience a surge of empathy to ensure they become part of the communal fold."

As the new year approaches, the world is shouting “set goals!” — but as followers of Jesus, our first step isn't action…it's asking God for vision. In today's episode, Abbie walks you through how to seek the Lord for His vision for your relationship with food and your body image in 2026 and beyond. Using Habakkuk 2 as our guide, we'll learn how to position ourselves to hear God, how to remove distractions, and how to write the vision so clearly that you can run with it when the time comes. This episode will help you slow down, reflect, and spiritually “clean house” before rushing into resolutions rooted in comparison, culture, or striving. Instead, you'll learn how to: ✨ Get into the right position and posture to hear God ✨ Ask God directly for His vision for your health, habits, and relationship with food ✨ Identify what to start, stop, and strengthen ✨ Discern daily habits and weekly rhythms that support God's vision ✨ Partner with the right people for accountability ✨ Walk confidently into 2026 with peace, clarity, and purpose Your next steps don't begin with a plan. They begin with His presence. Key Questions to Bring Into Your Quiet Time: Lord, what is Your vision for my relationship with food and my body in 2026 (and beyond)? What daily habits support that vision? What weekly rhythms support that vision? What do I need to start doing? What do I need to stop doing? What do I need to strengthen? Who do I need to partner with? Lord, what distractions or habits are blocking me from hearing You clearly? What is the next faithful step You want me to take? Resources & Next Steps:

In a world filled with mixed voices and spiritual deception, God calls us to unwavering obedience and Holy Spirit discernment—don't let anyone pull you away from the last thing God told you to do.

Scrip[ture regarding how to properly discern our negative emotions (hatred) as a Believer.  Scriptural reference: Psalms 139:19-24

In this episode, we explore what it means to:✨ Follow the voice of the Holy Spirit within you✨ Choose God's direction over man's expectations✨ Walk in bold obedience, even when others don't understand✨ Discern the difference between Spirit-led conviction and man-made pressureWhen we submit to the Holy Spirit instead of man, we step into freedom, purpose, and the authority God intended for us.

We live in an age overflowing with advice — from social media gurus to professional consultants, from friends to influencers. But not all counsel is created equal. In this episode, we revisit one of the most sobering leadership stories in Scripture: David's flight from Absalom and the competing counsel of Ahithophel and Hushai.Through this story, we learn three timeless lessons:Discern the source — Wisdom isn't about eloquence; it's about godliness.Surround yourself with truth-tellers — Seek counsel from those who fear God more than they fear offending you.Trust God's sovereignty — Even when advice goes wrong, God's purposes remain right.This 10–12 minute reflection will encourage you to think deeply about the voices shaping your decisions — and remind you that God is still directing your path, even through the noise.Referenced Song: “Whate'er My God Ordains Is Right” – Sovereign Grace MusicKeywords: wisdom, discernment, leadership, advice, sovereignty, counselYou can order the devotionals at https://amzn.to/4h8zFe6 or https://wisdomcalling.orgFollow us on Instagram: @wisdomcallingnow

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 11/09/25 by Pastor Steve Shields. People look for wisdom in novel places. They look to someone with a big social platform, but not everyone with a big following delivers helpful content. Many people with excellent content go unknown in the world. People look to a professional. People look to someone whose life they can see. So where do we find real wisdom? Wisdom comes from Godly men and women. The kind of people who reflect the image of God and display the character of Christ. Wisdom comes from those interested in you in the kingdom. They don’t give it for fame, money or attention. They give it because they care. Wisdom comes from one who cares about your wellbeing. Wisdom comes from those who worship the God of Scripture. How do you receive wisdom? Be willing to discuss what you’re doing. Don’t hide your struggles. Don’t pretend to be someone you aren’t. Be willing to hear hard words. Be ready to evaluate and implement the wisdom. Discern that this is from God. Pray, evaluate, communicate and initiate.

Settle Accounts While There's Time: St. Paul's Honesty and Christ's Deliverance Today's Homily reflects on two Scripture passages . . . . . . St. Paul's candid confession of his inner struggle (Romans) and Jesus' call to read the signs of the times (Luke). St. Paul admits that although he desires to do good, he often fails, revealing the inner conflict between grace and the lingering effects of sin. His honesty shows that even the greatest saints struggle internally, reminding us that the Christian life is not a self-improvement project but a reliance on Christ, who alone delivers us from our divided selves. The Homily then helps us to connect this with Jesus' teaching about interpreting signs. People easily read the weather or social cues yet fail to recognize God's movements in their own lives. Jesus urges His listeners to discern the spiritual signs around them and respond. Discern the Spiritual Signs Jesus warns that our lives are moving toward a final judgment, likening it to walking with an adversary toward a magistrate. Therefore, we must “settle accounts” now through repentance, charity, and works of mercy. The Homily also touches on the Church's understanding of purgatory . . . where remaining spiritual debts are purified . . . and highlights the importance of praying for the dead. Ultimately, both readings invite believers to face their own struggles honestly, remain attentive to God's grace, and live now in a way that prepares them for their final meeting with the Lord.

Who do you go to when life glitches? In this message, Lead Pastor, Jamie Nunnally continues our Holy Spirit series with instructions on how to engage with God's tech support.Ephesians 5:10 NLT Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.The Bible gives general truth for everyone, but it doesn't always answer specific situations. The great news: Christians have 24/7 tech support. The Bible gives the instructions; the Spirit gives the directions. The Bible brings the truth; the Spirit brings the troubleshooting.Romans 6:14 NIV For sin shall no longer be your master...How can we stop sinning if we don't follow the law? The Bible gives us the solution:Galatians 5:16–17 ESV Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh...The key is walking in the Spirit.Galatians 5:25 ESV If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Walking with someone means matching their pace and following their lead.The 5 steps of walking in the Spirit1. Pause.Psalm 46:10 NLT Pausing is a spiritual reboot—turning your will off and on again. Stillness reboots your awareness of God. If you don't pause, your flesh will hit "send" before the Spirit can speak.2. Listen.God speaks to your spirit. His voice often sounds like your thoughts but from a different source. If you're expecting thunder, you'll miss the whisper. We hear Him through spontaneous, persistent thoughts.John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice... Recognition comes through repetition. You don't need a louder God; you need fewer voices.3. Analyze.1 Thessalonians 5:19–21 ESV Ask: "Does this align with Scripture?" The Bible is the truth anchor. Don't test God's voice with feelings; test your feelings with God's Word. The Spirit always agrees with the Bible He wrote. Ask: "Is this what the Spirit wants or what I want?" "Does this reflect Jesus?" If the voice you hear always agrees with you, it's probably you.4. Implement.Hearing from God changes nothing until you obey. If you want God to speak more, obey what He already said.James 1:22 NLT Revelation without application becomes spiritual constipation. If the Spirit can't tell you "no," He's not your Lord—He's your mascot.5. Debrief.You won't always get it right, so process the results.Psalm 139:23–24 ESV Search me, O God...Reflection turns mistakes into maturity and lessons into lifestyle. You grow not by always getting it right but by always returning to the Teacher. Processing with God's people is essential too.ClosingHow would your life be different if you had been walking in the Spirit the whole time? You can't change yesterday, but you can start today. You have Heavenly tech support anytime, anywhere. Learn to listen and use it.Are you walking in the Spirit?

Feeling overwhelmed by the constant hustle? You're not alone. As women, we're natural influencers and nurturers, yet our own racing minds can often leave us exhausted and yearning for a peace that lasts.What if the very rhythm of your body, your menstrual cycle, isn't a burden, but God's gentle, intentional gift to draw you closer to Him? It's a built-in invitation to experience His sufficient grace in every season of the month.In this episode of Serenity on Steroids, host Vianca Joy offers a transformative perspective: your cycle is a sacred roadmap made up of four distinct seasons, each with a divine purpose.Discover how to:Rest & Reset in your menstrual phase (your spiritual winter) by anchoring yourself in the present-tense reality of God's “I AM” presence.Build & Create in your follicular phase (your spring) with energy that comes from trusting God with your new beginnings.Radiate & Connect in your ovulatory phase (your summer), stewarding your confidence and influence for God's glory.Discern & Complete in your luteal phase (your autumn), turning heightened sensitivity into spiritual wisdom and purposeful action.This heartfelt discussion also covers navigating perimenopause as a spiritual passage, embracing prayerful movement as a “healing dance,” and understanding how living one day at a time is rooted in the very name of God.If you're ready to move from exhaustion to empowerment and align your life with the wise, grace-filled design God created, this episode is for you.Find your divine rhythm.

Learning to DiscernIn this message from the Learn to Follow series, Pastor Brad teaches on what it means to learn to discern in a world full of competing voices and opinions. Drawing from the story of Daniel, we explore how humility, wisdom, and a teachable spirit help us follow Jesus faithfully in complex times. Through Daniel's example, we learn how to live in the world but not of it, making decisions rooted in prayer, unity, and grace. This sermon challenges us to move from reactionary living to Spirit-led discernment—seeking God's wisdom rather than the crowd's noise.10/26/2025DATE: 10/26/2025SPEAKER:Brad Goode

In this powerful episode, Leslie sits down with Michael and Kristen Cary, founders of Living Truth and creators of Men in the Battle and Women in the Battle. Together, they unpack the hard but healing truth about what real repentance looks like in a man, how to spot red flags—even when he seems "nice"—and why women need to do their own healing work, whether or not their partner is changing. With raw honesty and biblical wisdom, this conversation offers practical tools to help women discern character, build clarity, and courageously walk toward truth and safety. Key Takeaways True Repentance Goes Beyond Behavior Management Real heart change isn't just about stopping bad behavior—it's about digging deep to understand the “why” beneath it. Men who are truly repentant aren't just trying to avoid consequences; they're broken over the pain they've caused, open to feedback, and willing to do the long, hard work of healing. Women Must Heal, Too Betrayal trauma doesn't just disappear with his sobriety. Even if the sexual sin wasn't yours, the pain and damage are real. Healing requires tending to your own wounds, setting boundaries, and stepping into the work of becoming whole again—regardless of what he chooses to do. Believe the Behavior, Not the Words Change is seen in fruit, not phrases. Many men can talk the talk—especially in Christian circles—but safety is shown through consistent actions: humility, accountability, respect for boundaries, and emotional maturity. If he gets defensive, blames, or minimizes your pain, those are red flags—not repentance. When “Nice” Isn't Safe Just because he's nice doesn't mean he's safe. Safety means he can hear your truth without punishing you. He respects your "no," honors your boundaries, and doesn't manipulate with guilt, fear, or Scripture. A man who is truly safe will prioritize your emotional and spiritual well-being—not just try to keep the peace. The Pain Must Be His Teacher—Not Yours Sometimes the only thing that wakes someone up is the pain of consequences. Staying “nice” to avoid upsetting him often prevents the very growth that's needed. Love does not mean enabling sin. Godly sorrow leads to repentance—not just sorrow over being caught. If You're Struggling to Discern the Truth… If you're unsure whether your marriage is just difficult, chronically disappointing, or truly destructive, don't stay stuck in confusion.
