Discerning the Seasons: Living Prepared for Christ's Return Pastor Jack King opens the Word to Ecclesiastes chapter 3 to address the concept of "Times and Seasons," arguing that this ancient scripture is profoundly relevant to the current day and age. He shares humorous and serious reflections on how the world changes—from fashion fads to the political threats of communism—and questions whether newer generations will maintain the same love for freedom and country. Pastor King then transitions to the spiritual season, urging believers to be ready for the end of the church age and the return of the Lord. Key takeaways from this message include: -- The world is defined by changing times and seasons, from historical eras to current political and technological shifts. -- Current political and economic appeals can be a "spirit of control," designed to buy votes with promises of "free" resources, often without common-sense regard for consequences. -- The economic and technological acceleration (like Artificial Intelligence) is moving the world toward the economic system described in the Bible as connected to the Antichrist. -- God knows and controls the timing; the age of the church will end when Jesus returns. -- Believers are called to be "first fruits"—serious about serving God, with their "lamps trimmed and burning," looking for Christ's imminent return. -- Understanding the book of Revelation and the doctrine of the Rapture (pre-tribulation, mid-tribulation, or post-tribulation) is essential for those who want to be prepared.

In this episode of Centering: The Asian American Christian Podcast, hosts Yulee Lee and Daniel Lee introduce the season's focus on toxic ministry. They discuss how abuse is often justified in God's name, turning obedience into oppression. The conversation delves into the discernment needed to identify toxic leadership and move towards healing and healthy spiritual leadership. They share personal experiences, discuss the challenges of abusive ministry contexts, and emphasize the importance of theological grounding.

Welcome to Day 2719 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2719 – A Discerning Life – Living in Light of the Lord's Return 1 John 2:28-3:3 Putnam Church Message – 09/21/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Discerning Life – Living in Light of the Lord's Return. " Last week, we continued through the letter of 1 John and explored how to have “A Discerning Life: Dealing with Deceivers." This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have A Discerning Life: Living in Light of the Lord's Return" from 1 John 2:28-3:3 from the NIV, which is found on page 1901 of your Pew Bibles. God's Children and Sin 28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him. See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. Opening Prayer The doctrine known as the Second Coming (or the return of Christ) either attracts mockery, strikes fear, or brings comfort. Many men and women were raised with a respect for the Bible or were brought up in the church, but never fully grasped the gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. As such, they hear about the coming of Christ to judge the living and the dead … and it brings dread. Perhaps there are also some true believers who have strayed so far from the right path that they fear the coming of the Savior as the day they must give an account for their lives of unfaithfulness to the Lord. In both cases, the Second Coming is associated with fear or shame. However, many believers eagerly await their Lord's return with hope and anticipation. They know and believe with longing the words of Paul: For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. First, the believers who have died[a] will rise from their graves. 17 Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever. 18 So encourage each other with these words. (1 Thes. 4:16–18) Invariably, when I have the privilege of...

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we looked back at the “No Kings” marches that took place across the nation. Janet and Craig shared their observations and biblically grounded insights into this national event and who and what was the driving force behind it. Depression has become a popular topic of discussion on podcasts and programs in our society. But have you ever heard of spiritual depression? We spoke to a pastor who defined spiritual depression and what causes it. He also shared with us the 5 steps to developing a spiritually healthy life. A man who was raised in a traditional Jewish home shared the powerful story of how he came to Christ through the love and witness of his Christian girlfriend. Why is the family under attack today? How can parents protect their children from the dangerous social doctrines that are permeating our schools today? She joined us to call believers to defend our families during these concerted attacks at the foundation of our society. How do you see clearly through the fog of the confusing half-truth, deceptions and straying ideas we hear in our news daily. We do it by using the Bible as the straight stick of truth and measuring all ideas that come our way against it. Join us for another instructive session on how you can apply God’s word to every circumstance and situation you encounter along your faith journey.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Key scripture references, including Romans 12:2 and 1 Corinthians 12, are explored. The host also details the different sources of spirits—Holy Spirit, human spirits, demonic spirits, and angels—and how to discern them. Practical applications are offered, including the importance of spiritual discernment in church settings, spiritual warfare, guided prayer, and prophecy.

As Halloween approaches, culture bombards our daughters with images of fear, darkness, and death—often disguised as harmless fun. But behind the costumes, creepy décor, and “fear-as-fun” mentality lies a much deeper reality: the unseen spiritual battle for our girls' hearts and minds. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden unpack what it looks like to discern the subtle and not-so-subtle spiritual influences shaping our daughters. Drawing from Scripture—including Ephesians 6:12, which reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood—they help moms recognize that insecurity, rebellion, and even negative self-talk can often be rooted in spiritual lies rather than just “phases.” You'll hear a powerful Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, reflections on why truth—not fear—anchors our daughters, and personal stories that highlight how easily the enemy twists what looks innocent into something deceptive. Most importantly, Rachael and Melissa offer practical tools for parents: spotting patterns of repeated lies, equipping girls with Scripture, and covering them in prayer with confidence, not anxiety. At American Heritage Girls, we believe light always defeats darkness. That's why AHG's Identity and Daughter of the King badges, alongside Troop life, give girls the space to declare who they are in Christ—compassionate, perseverant, pure—and to stand firm when the enemy tries to distort their identity. Scripture References: Ephesians 6:12 — “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against… the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” 2 Corinthians 10:5 — “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Timothy 1:7 — “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 1 Thessalonians 5:5 — “You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.” 3 Key Truths to Remember: The Battle Is Real — Your daughter's struggles may be spiritual as well as emotional or behavioral. Stay prayerful and discerning. Light Defeats Darkness — Equip your girl with Scripture and confidence in Christ. Fear cannot stand against His truth. Model Spiritual Strength — Your calm trust in God shows your daughter how to stand firm in faith without anxiety. This episode will encourage you to pause, pray, and have intentional conversations with your daughter about the lies she faces and the truth God has spoken over her life. Moms, you are not alone in this battle. With faith, Scripture, and the support of Christ-centered community, your daughter can shine His light even in the darkest cultural moments.

Send us a textHow external circumstances can influence inner peace and its importance in personal and global contexts is what this week's episode covers. We reflect on recent events, including political situations, and the dialogue emphasizes the need for balance between intellect and emotion, the role of leadership in fostering peace, and the significance of timing in life's opportunities. Ultimately, the conversation serves as a reminder that true peace begins within oneself and is essential for navigating life's challenges."I was radiating peace (from) inside." In this conversation, the speakers explore the theme of peace from a spiritual perspective, discussing the importance of balancing intellect and emotion to find and maintain peace, the role of inner and outer leadership in fostering peace, and the necessity of finding inner peace amidst the chaos of life for personal evolution. "I come in alone, I go out alone." What does that mean? They also emphasize the significance of self-awareness and the impact of one's inner state on external circumstances, ultimately advocating for a peaceful approach to life's challenges. TakeawaysThe keyword for this week is peace.Radiating peace internally can influence external situations.Inner peace is essential for navigating external influences.Leaderships' role in fostering peace.Recognizing and acting on ripe opportunities is key.Personal responsibility is vital for raising one's state of awareness.Finding peace within oneself is a prerequisite for being of true service.Life is a game, and maintaining perspective is essential.Season 1 Episode 43 of Spiritual Perspectives: Discerning News...Discover spiritual truths delivered in a practical way in these three e-books created by The Wayshowers College.

SUNDAY COURSES | Heresies & Heretics: Discerning Truth from Error, Part 2
That can be a fine line to walk, can't it? Discerning whether someone's behavior, attitude or lifestyle is a violation of God's design; or whether they only offend your personal convictions or values. There are things we consider inappropriate in certain settings or for certain age groups, but that doesn't mean they're wrong or sinful. As Pastor Malcolm will point out in today's message, we need to submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit as we seek to set boundaries and limitations within the Church.

Welcome to Day 2714 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2714 – A Discerning Life – Dealing With Deceivers 1 John 2:18-27 Putnam Church Message – 09/14/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Discerning Life: Dealing with Deceivers" Two weeks ago, we explored 1 John 2:12-17 as we learned how to live a ‘Clean Life' with “Strong Warnings About the World.” This week, we continue through the letter of 1 John, and we will explore how to have A Discerning Life: Dealing with Deceivers" from 1 John 2:18-27 from the NIV, which is found on page 1900 of your Pew Bibles. Warnings Against Denying the Son 18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us. 20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[a] 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he promised us—eternal life. 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him. Opening Prayer As we continue in John's first letter, the tone shifts from serious to severe. The warnings against sin and the world in the previous section now give way to portents of spiritual dangers—often invisible—that can lure unbelievers to hell and send a Christian's faith skidding into the ditch. The specter of spiritual deception doesn't have to win. Just as Spirit-enabled fellowship with the Father and the Son produces a joyful life (1:1–10) and a clean life (2:1–17), it also produces a discerning life (2:18–4:6). A close relationship with God requires an understanding of His truth. All too often, though, even seemingly mature Christians struggle to discern between true...

As ministry leaders, we often imagine that building trust is the ultimate goal—once we have it, the road to transformation should be clear. But what happens when trust alone isn't enough? The truth is, trust is only the starting point. Moving beyond it requires us to invest our trust in ways that actually make change possible, even when it means taking risks and facing loss together.In this episode, Tod Bolsinger, author of Invest in Transformation: Quit Relying on Trust, shares why trust is essential but insufficient for transformative leadership, how we can begin to discern our congregation's unique calling, and what it takes to wisely invest trust as we guide people through the challenges of adaptive change.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Tod Bolsinger asserts that there is no transformation without trust.Leadership requires energizing a community toward its own transformation for the sake of a shared mission.People will not trust a leader to guide them through difficult change if they don't trust them with current, familiar responsibilities.Leaders build trust through both trustworthy character and technical competence.Relational congruence means consistently showing up as the same person in all relationships, reinforcing trust.Even leaders of good character need to be experienced by others as trustworthy in daily interactions.Technical competence in areas such as scripture, soul care, and organizational skills is non-negotiable for pastoral leaders.Trust is the bank account that leaders must invest (and spend) when leading adaptive or transformational change.When transformation is pursued, trust levels may decrease as change creates uncertainty and resistance.Tod Bolsinger notes that maintaining trust means not squandering it on trivial matters, but instead strategically investing it in real transformation.The process of transformation begins with clarifying a congregation's unique charism—its distinctive gift to the broader community.Charism emerges from actual values and stories, not from aspirational wish lists or debates about what a church “should” be.Discerning a congregation's charism requires telling stories about the times they were most proud of the church.Identifying a congregation's charism is followed by asking how it can address the pain points of the community, thus connecting internal giftedness with external needs.Transformation always involves loss, and truly adaptive change means some may leave, but new vibrancy and alignment with mission can develop as a result.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Church Leadership InstituteBooks mentioned:Invest in Transformation: Quit Relying on Trust, by Tod BolsingerRelated episodes:230.

The Hero's Journey and the Map of the Larger Story In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings dive deeper into the theme of this first series: learning to read the map of the Larger Story. Through the lens of beloved classics like Pinocchio, The Lion King, and The Wizard of Oz, they unpack the shape of the hero's journey and the spiritual landscape we all live in—one marked by darkness and light, conflict and redemption. Michael and SJ explore how the Old and New Covenants frame our understanding of the battle for identity, authority, and purpose. They reflect on personal experiences, spiritual formation, and the power of belief and story in shaping our path. With the help of the digital and physical Zoweh Map, they reveal why orientation and training are critical for every man who wants to know where he is and where he's going. This episode invites you to slow down, study the map, and ask God what He sees in you and your story. Because in a world at war, clarity is everything—and healing begins when we understand the terrain. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

Send us a textOn today's Out In The Garage podcast I am going to repond to a question I received recently about discerning the call to full-time ministry. When it comes to ministry there is vocational ministry and then there is the ministry of every believer wherever they are planted. We are going to attempt to address both of those to give us a better idea of God's plan and purpose in all seasons of life.
