Perhaps you've felt the heavy weight of regret—those “would've, could've, should've” moments that whisper lies and leave you feeling responsible for things you could never control. In this episode of Raising Fatherless Kids, Lori unpacks the crucial difference between conviction from the Holy Spirit and condemnation from the enemy. Understanding this distinction changes everything.Conviction leads us to restoration, hope, and freedom in Christ. Condemnation leaves us in shame, despair, and fear. The good news? God is our Redeemer. He restores, rescues, and makes all things new.Understanding the difference between conviction and condemnation, and why it matters for healing.Recognizing conviction as the kindness of God that leads to repentance, freedom, and life.Identifying condemnation as the enemy's voice that accuses without hope and keeps us stuck in guilt.Remembering God's sovereignty over life and death which brings peace in the midst of regret.Key Takeaways:Scripture References: John 16:8 • Romans 2:4 • Psalm 103:10, 4 • 2 Corinthians 7:10 • Romans 8:1 • Revelation 12:10 • Job 19:25If you missed Part One in this series, Regret Meets Redemption, be sure to go back and listen.

We'll read them on the next episode. *This episode was recorded on Friday 10/3*Why does it seems that more and more Christians are being persuaded to join in with mockers and scoffers? There are far greater reasons Christians ought to seek the truth. Those reasons don't involve cracking a conspiracy case. It involves being prepared to discern against deceptions far greater. Paul, in Ephesians 6, highlights an aspect of the Christians armor against spiritual warfare - the belt of truth. Being fastened with truth doesn't mean you've picked a particual side in any given argument. It does however mean that you won't be assigned a side by mockers who dare you to continue to seek what is true. In this episode, I (Brandon) address the reason why it seems like I'm defending Candace Owens so fervently. I breakdown the fallacy of dismissing someone merely because you've been told to dismiss them. Also, are people being genuine regarding their critiques of Candace?

Do you ever feel like Bible reading has become routine? Maybe life’s distractions, spiritual fatigue, or lack of inspiration have dulled your passion for God’s Word. But Scripture reminds us that “the word of God is living and active” (Hebrews 4:12)—it’s not just words on a page, but a divine conversation meant to transform our hearts. Joe Navarro, known online as @joechristianguy encourages us in today's prayer and devotional to approach the Bible not as a chore, but as a gift from our loving Father. By asking God to renew our desire for His Word, experimenting with new ways of study, and remembering that Scripture is for transformation, not just information, we can rediscover joy in meeting God daily through His truth. Main Takeaways God’s Word is living and active—it has power to refresh our weary souls. Prayer is the starting point: ask God to rekindle your hunger for Scripture. Changing your approach—like trying a new translation, using audio Bible, or joining a group—can spark renewed excitement. Bible study is not just about knowledge, but about transformation. Delight, not obligation, is what God desires for us as we engage His Word. Bible Verse References Hebrews 4:12 – God’s Word is living and active. Psalm 119:18 – Open my eyes to see wondrous things in Your law.

How Is the Word of God Living and Active? (Hebrews 4:12)

Bible Verse of the Day: "For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." – Hebrews 4:12 How Is the Word of God Living and Active? (Hebrews 4:12) Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that Scripture is not just ink on a page but a living, active force in the lives of believers. Unlike human words or philosophies, God’s Word is constantly at work—penetrating, discerning, and transforming us. The imagery of a “two-edged sword” underscores Scripture’s precision. It cuts deep, revealing hidden motivations and exposing the true state of our hearts. Nothing is beyond its reach—not our thoughts, not our intentions, not even the parts of us we try to keep hidden. This verse also carries both comfort and challenge. Comfort, because God’s Word brings life, direction, and encouragement. Challenge, because it confronts us with truth, reminding us that nothing is hidden from God’s gaze. The call is clear: approach His Word with humility, letting it shape us into people who live in step with His will. Daily Meditation God’s Word is alive, speaking across all times and cultures. It penetrates beyond outward behavior, reaching our deepest thoughts and motives. Scripture is an instrument of both encouragement and correction. Through the Word, we encounter God’s presence and align with His purposes. Let’s Pray Father, I come to You honestly—sometimes my heart feels distant, and my excitement for Your Word fades beneath the weight of life’s distractions. But I know Your Word is living and powerful, and I long for that closeness again. Please rekindle a deep passion within me to seek You through Scripture. Open my eyes to see the beauty, truth, and life in every page. Stir my spirit with fresh hunger to know You more and to treasure Your voice above all else. Lord, forgive me for the times I’ve treated Your Word casually or out of routine. Help me approach it with awe and expectation, knowing that You are ready to speak each time I open my Bible. Let my heart burn with joy and wonder as I encounter You in new ways. Teach me to delight in Your truth and to let it transform me daily.In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Christians find themselves in a challenging situation. On one hand, he was a man who openly proclaimed Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. On the other hand, his memorial was marred by the presence of false teachings, Catholicism, and political influences. While it's crucial to discuss the conspiracy surrounding his assassination, Christians living in these challenging times need to rely on discernment and a strong biblical foundation for their beliefs. This sermon, delivered at Suncoast Baptist Church, challenges your perspectives and encourages you to seek biblical guidance.

This episode started off as an episode on the conspiracy debates and slander tossed toward those who engage in them. Though we eventually get to the crux of the conversation (Minute 50), we began our episode reflecting on the last 200 episodes of Black and Blurred and how this podcast started. We also reflected on the ministry of Pastor Voddie Baucham and his influence on many believers today. In the latter half of this lengthy episode, we dive into the banter around Candace Owens, her work and the slander towards her that seems to just roll off of the lips of those who have no connection to her. How should Christians view the work of someone like Candace Owens? Is she a psyop? Is she a liar? Is she out to make money off of gossip and confusion? How should Christians think about these "conspiracy theories" in general? Is there a place in the Christian mind for entertaining the possibility of such great deception?

Ep. 202 (Part 1 of 2) | In this rich, delightful, and profound conversation, integralist Father David McCallum, SJ, currently serving the Vatican as executive director of the Program for Discerning Leadership, leads us into a world filled with mission, purpose, and service, foundational to which is the practice of discernment. David describes discernment as the capacity to exercise good judgment, hold complexity, and wait for clarity. This is not only a practice for individuals, he explains, but also a communal one, providing a way for communities to discern and design together the future they want to create—through listening, dialoguing, participating. Discernment is a way of knowing and making sense of reality, David continues, and especially important now in this era of changes and choices to be made.David enlightens us as to the beautiful and far-sighted reforms proposed by the late Pope Francis, who was all for changing the balance of authority and participation in the Church; for people to have direct experience of Presence and the capacity to practice discernment; who also advocated for taking swift action on behalf of our planet, even calling out the part in the Bible that says man has dominion over the Earth. From David's description of “the journey worth making”—surrendering, opening, accepting divine grace and love—to using Otto Scharmer's U Process to help find the courage to change and simplify our lives for the benefit of all, to the Church's relationship with A.I., David provides us with an extraordinarily mind-broadening, motivating, and spiritually fulfilling perspective. Recorded July 10, 2025.“No secular, material, and empirical path is going to satisfy the longing we have for a transcendent purpose, for meaning, for existential belonging, in the ways that a healthy spirituality can.”Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing Fr.

What does the energy of October hold for YOU? To answer that question I picked THREE oracle cards just for YOU, and I didn't get a message just for October…I got a message for the final quarter of 2025! In this episode, I share the three oracle cards I picked just for YOU from three of my favorite oracle card decks, and weave together the THEME for this month AND for the rest of 2025!  These cards reflect the shift in energy that began at the Equinox and are inviting us to utilize the final quarter of the year to clear the way for a miraculous 2026!   Key Learnings: 1) The energy shift began at the Solstice continues through the Equinox and will continue through the final quarter of the year. The first card I chose for you is the Narrow Pathway card, which asks us to narrow our focus and be mindful about how we spend our time and energy. Slow and steady progress is the way. Discernment is the theme of this card, and trusting your intuition. 2) The second card is Dakini – the Enlightened Feminine, which invites us to trust our intuition even more. This message advises to look beyond the duality of yes or no answers. This card says that success is assured for any endeavor, but not by following the intellect. 3) The last card is Archangel Muriel and the message is ‘Trust your own wisdom. Have faith in your psychic impressions.' This card honors your sensitivity and asks you to do so as well, giving yourself time to grieve or feel whatever you are feeling. But after you do, to continue forward with confidence and TRUST your intuition   “The final quarter of the year asks us to go beyond duality and trust our inner wisdom.”   Click here to purchase the Sacred Traveler Oracle Card deck by Denise Linn Click here to purchase the Divine Feminine Oracle by Meggan Watterson Click here to purchase the Archangel Oracle Cards by Diana Cooper Click here to schedule an Intuitive Energy Breakthrough Session Click here to join the Magnify Your Miracles membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com

Days of Awe & the Rhythm of the Kingdom: True Readiness, Not Date-Setting – KIB 499 Description In this Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake call the Remnant back into the rhythm of the Kingdom during the Days of Awe—away from hype, date-setting, and pagan substitutes. From Matthew 24 to Numbers 10, we explore daily practices that cultivate holiness, discernment, and protection for our homes, and we address the rising chaos around Halloween and other occult seasons. This is a sober call to walk in sync with Jesus, close the doors to Babylon, and live ready. Key themes: Day of Atonement & the believer's judgment, the “wheat and tares” reality, why hyper-grace and universalism miss the mark, how feasts tune us to Heaven's cadence, and practical morning/evening prayers to guard your home.

Ryan wrestles with a piercing question sparked by Charlie Kirk's testimony: Are we actually called to purity—or is purity the assumed condition of a life on mission for Christ? Drawing from Kirk's own words about victory over pornography and Psalm 97:10, Ryan reframes purity not as an end in itself but as the necessary overflow of loving Jesus and pursuing His calling with focus.Topics DiscussedPurity vs. purpose: which is the calling and which is the conditionLessons from Charlie Kirk's testimony and focusThe danger of letting the “fight for purity” become a lifelong distractionPractical safeguards (accountability, tech tools) in their proper placePsalm 97:10 and hating evil as an expression of loving GodMoving from abstinence-mindset to satisfaction in ChristSimultaneously growing in purity while stepping into God's missionKey TakeawaysPurity is not the destination; it's the runway for a Spirit-led life on mission.A life that can “comfortably accommodate” impurity is misaligned with calling.Tools and accountability help, but transformation flows from loving Christ first.Get on mission now; don't postpone obedience until you feel “fully pure.”As love for Christ increases, purity increases—because there's more of you reserved for Him.Resources & LinksCharlie Kirk's original interview: ListenCovenant Eyes — accountability software for purityReady to download the Cord App?

Summary In this conversation, Joshua Stylman discusses the implications of AI on human connection, freedom, and societal structures. He expresses concerns about the potential loss of human sovereignty as technology integrates more deeply into our lives. The discussion also touches on the importance of discernment, community, and the need for individuals to reclaim their agency in an increasingly digital world. Stylman emphasizes the necessity of asking questions and seeking primary sources to navigate the complexities of modern life, particularly in relation to health and technology. Takeaways The balance between convenience and freedom is crucial. The Internet of Bodies poses significant ethical questions. Discernment is essential in the age of misinformation. Parents play a key role in guiding the next generation. Human sovereignty is at risk with technological advancements. We need to foster local relationships and support systems.

Ep 44 - Special EpisodeIs the current movement sweeping America a true spiritual revival—or something else entirely?In the wake of recent events, churches are packed, leaders are speaking Jesus' name, and talk of revival is everywhere. In this episode, we urge believers to pause and ask critical questions: Which Jesus are people proclaiming? Is this the gospel of the kingdom—or a gospel mixed with nationalism and politics?In this timely episode, they explore: ✅ Why "Jesus plus anything" equals nothing ✅ The difference between revival FOR God vs. OF God ✅ How to test the spirits in this cultural moment ✅ Why God is not American (and why that matters) ✅ The danger of confusing political movements with spiritual awakening ✅ What true repentance and revival actually look likeThis isn't about being cynical—it's about being discerning. We want to see genuine revival, but we must ensure people are meeting the real Jesus Christ, not a political figurehead or cultural Christianity.⚠️ Key Warning: Paul said if anyone preaches another gospel, let them be accursed (Galatians 1:8-9). When the gospel gets mixed with politics, nationalism, or any other agenda, it loses its power to save.

I critique Alisa Childers' self-announced shift towards softening her stance on not associating with false teachers and indicating she may now do so in the future, if asked. I state that this undermines credibility and dilutes the message of Christ. We need clear separation from falsehood in ministry.

How Do We Know What Teachings and Prophecies to Believe? (Christian Conduct Series)

Christian Questions Bible Podcast

All upbuilding and spiritually mature Christian thought and action inevitably have their foundation in Scripture. The Bible gives us clear truth. Just as importantly, it gives us clear direction as to how to apply those clear truths to our lives in practical ways. In 1 Thessalonians, the Apostle Paul teaches us to NOT despise "prophetic utterances." Why would we make light of any teachings given for our benefit? As we shall see, Paul's teaching here is showing us to be open and accepting towards what our brotherhood is proclaiming to us, but not without caution. Next, he warns us to examine everything! Is this a contradiction? Are we supposed to embrace what we hear, or are we supposed to be skeptical? The key to answering this question lies in understanding how Christians can discern which teachings and prophesyings are trustworthy, especially in a world filled with conflicting spiritual claims. Biblical truth must be rooted in Scripture, not personal feelings, traditions or charismatic personalities. It is vital to not accept teachings simply because they sound good or align with popular opinion. Instead, the Apostle Paul urged us to test all spiritual claims against the Bible's consistent message, historical context and prophetic accuracy. In this journey, it's important to highlight humility, study and spiritual maturity in evaluating doctrine. We also need to address the danger of false prophets and misinterpreted signs, remembering that genuine prophesying aligns with God's character and long-term plan of redemption. A few key takeaways • Scripture is the ultimate authority: All teachings and prophesying must be measured against the Bible's consistent message. • Emotions and tradition can mislead: Just because something feels right or is widely accepted doesn't mean it's biblically sound. • False prophets and teachers are real and can be persuasive: The Bible warns repeatedly about deception, especially in the End Times. • Prophesying must align with God's character: True informative and enlightening teaching reflects God's justice, mercy and long-term purpose. • Spiritual maturity is essential: Discernment grows through study, prayer and humility—not through quick conclusions or viral teachings. Our bottom line is the importance of examining the Scriptures carefully as a testing ground for what we hear. God's word is sufficient and trustworthy, even when cultural voices or influencers claim new revelations. Ultimately, the path to truth is paved with careful study, accountability and a deep reverence for God's Word.

Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.'To the Church in Thyatira18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.19 “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. 25 Only hold fast what you have until I come. 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, 27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

Shift Your Perspective: More Optimistic Energy | Experience Another Lifetime | Seer Sessions #222With optimism, I like to add some discernment. I don't like the idea of blindly pretending everything is ok and it feels safer to be optimistic along with the intentional practice of deciding what is for us and not for us. To me optimism feels like energy. Discernment feels like a protection of that energy.When we can feel this way in another lifetime, it can turn it on/up in this life time. An activation of sorts.Recline back, listen to this hypnotic journey, observe what comes to mind, and let this journey be an experience that opens your eyes to all the good, bright, light, high frequencies around you.Perspective is the filter through which we experience life. It colors everything we experience or notice around us and within us. A hypnotic journey like this one can change your perspective (and how you feel about your life)  INSTANTLY.Creating change can happen without external help. The only expense is your time and energy. Use the hypnotic journeys on this pod to help you! //  TIME STAMPS //0:00 - 5:33 :: A few mins for me to tee-up this journey for you5:35 - 56:18 :: Journey to Another Life //  INTENTION for this HYP JOURNEY //Last week we shifted your perspective away from worry, fear, dread etc (aka anxiety) so you can live with more peace and clarity.

Father Robert J. Spitzer, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, philosopher, educator, author, and the President of the Magis Center of Reason and Faith. Born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, he went on to study at Gonzaga University, the Gregorian University in Rome, and the Catholic University of America, where he earned a PhD in philosophy. He later served as President of Gonzaga University, where he became known for blending academic excellence with faith formation. Today, Father Spitzer leads the Magis Center, which produces resources on the intersection of faith, science, and reason, and he continues to write and speak globally on subjects ranging from metaphysics to moral theology to spiritual warfare. In this episode, Brad sits down with Father Spitzer at Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, for a candid conversation about his book Christ vs. Satan in Our Daily Lives and the reality of spiritual battle. Father Spitzer shares formative stories from his upbringing in Hawaii, his Jesuit formation, and the pivotal moments when challenges like vision loss became turning points for deeper faith. He unpacks the eight deadly sins, the tactics of the evil one, and the role of prayer, confession, and the Eucharist in resisting temptation. Along the way, he offers practical wisdom on discernment, the power of gratitude, and why the rosary remains one of the strongest weapons in spiritual life. “To live without thankfulness is the most self-centered way to live.” – Father Spitzer “Lord, you are the just judge. You take care of it.” – Father Spitzer “Nip temptation in the bud early. Don't wait until it grows into something that can destroy you.” – Father Spitzer This Week on The Wow Factor Growing up in Honolulu and how his parents shaped his faith and values Discovering proofs of God's existence in philosophy and science during college How his mother's prayers and wisdom steadied him in seasons of doubt The diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa and how it reshaped his calling Discernment of spirits: learning to reject the “rhetoric of damaged goods” Why the devil's greatest lie is convincing people he doesn't exist The eight deadly sins, their tentacles in modern life, and how to resist them Practical tools for spiritual resilience: Eucharist, confession, daily prayer, and the rosary Why 90% of the fruit of prayer comes outside of prayer Encouragement for parents: the power of modeling prayer and faith for their children Father Spitzer's Word of Wisdom Bring every temptation and struggle to God. Don't fight it in your own strength. Dependence on Him, daily prayer, and trust in His unconditional love are the surest path to freedom and joy.

Do you trust the things your body tells you, even when you can't explain them or get someone else to validate them? Many of us who've been socialised as female have been trained to doubt what we sense, to question our instincts, and to defer to others' opinions, even when our internal knowing is guiding us correctly. This conditioning shapes the way we make decisions, respond to relationships, and navigate our work and creative projects.   In this episode, I'm exploring discernment—the ability to perceive what's obscure and trust your knowing, even when it can't be fully explained or justified. You'll learn how to tell the difference between clean discernment and fear-based decision-making, recognise when you're relying too heavily on external validation, and strengthen your ability to trust yourself. This episode is about tuning into your internal sense, making decisions that feel coherent, and building the muscle to honour your knowing without apology.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/246

In this episode, we conclude our series by reflecting on the sorrowful and glorious mysteries of our lives. In the midst of our own sorrows, we talk about the mortification of authentic love, what it means to carry our cross, and how to be patient when a particular suffering seems endless. We also share the glorious ways God is working in our lives. From the beauty of color to raising our expectations in faith, we ponder how Jesus' presence in the sufferings of our lives often restores us more deeply than if He simply just healed our pain.    Heather's One Thing - First Reconciliation and Beyond by Katie Prejean McGrady Heather's Other One Thing - Show Me Your Glory by Brandon Lake Sister Miriam's One Thing - Discerning Hearts Podcast with Fr.

What breakthroughs have you experienced in this season? How have you experienced the Sorrowful Mysteries in this season?

In this school of Mary, we learn to ‘read' Christ, to discover his secrets, to understand his message.” (Rosarium Virginis Mariae, St. Pope John Paul II)   Scripture for Lectio: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9)   Sponsor - Triumph of the Heart: Triumph of the Heart is an award-winning film that tells one of the most astounding stories of world war II - when a Polish priest, imprisoned in Auschwitz, volunteered to take the place of a condemned man.  When faced with a truly apocalyptic war, St. Maximilian Kolbe showed us that Christian love can conquer the deepest horrors of the human condition. In the face of unimaginable suffering, Kolbe didn't retreat—he stepped forward, offering his life to save another. This film, about the passion of St. Maximilian Kolbe, is the most compelling look ever into both the horror and heroism that was to be found in a Nazi death camp. Audiences have already been deeply moved by the light of hope shining forth from the darkest place on earth. Triumph of the Heart is now showing in select theaters throughout the United States. Go to KolbeMovie.com to find out how you can get tickets to a masterpiece destined to become an enduring film classic. Made with a shoe string budget, many miracles from the Lord, and film quality that rivals any studio backed project, Triumph of the Heart will not disappoint.

In a week full of hot takes and conspiracies, I'm calling us back to biblical discernment—knowing the difference between right and almost right. We talk timing, tone, and truth, and why prayer and Scripture—not speculation—must lead us. Then Seth Gruber joins me to reflect on Charlie Kirk's legacy, the real spiritual battle we're in, and how the Church should move forward with courage and clarity.
