Whether your marriage is thriving or barely hanging on, this episode is a reminder that God sees you, your church is with you, and your marriage is worth fighting for.To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/Chapter Markers00:00 — Golf, Marriage, and Ridiculous Arguments05:16 — Why Couples Drift Emotionally09:59 — Pursuing Your Wife Again11:27 — Protecting Marriage in Exhausting Seasons15:48 — Intimacy, Affection, and Feeling Wanted21:25 — Unspoken Expectations and Communication25:33 — Forgiveness, Trust, and Rebuilding After Hurt31:04 — Quick Tips: Boundaries, Date Nights, Books, and Marriage Advice

Why does eschatology matter? Is it merely speculation about the future, or does it shape how Christians live, work, evangelize, and engage the world today? In this special episode of The World View, EM co-founder Josh Howard joins Alex Kocman in studio to discuss how our view of the future influences the mission of the church. Together they explore Christ's present reign, the Great Commission, cultural engagement, civil responsibility, and whether Christians should expect victory or retreat. Far from being an abstract theological debate, eschatology affects how believers think about discipleship, nation-building, evangelism, and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom in history.If the church is called to disciple the nations, then our understanding of the future matters more than many realize.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole.

But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.The Village Churchvillagersonline@gmail.comMore information at www.villagersonline.com

Discipleship. It's a fundamental, core, calling of God in Scripture. What does it mean? Let's go back to God's creating the heavens and the earth, and all living things for a starting point. God created human beings unique among all of his creatures. Human beings were created in the image of God. What does this mean? Foundationally, it means we were made for a relationship with God! To love God as God loves us. And we were created to grow in our relationship with our Creator. I guess you can call it a growth in discipleship - knowing God, loving God, living in a good relationship with God.

Samuel Goulet shares a practical and encouraging message on how strong families are built by centering the home on Christ. He explains that discipleship begins at home through both testimony and structure—parents modeling God's faithfulness while creating a culture marked by love, forgiveness, compassion, and daily spiritual formation. This episode challenges families to move beyond condemnation, embrace conviction, and intentionally build homes where God's Word is lived out, passed on, and reflected in everyday life.

Moses pitched a tent outside the camp called the "Tent of Meeting." There, God would speak to Moses "face to face, as one speaks to a friend." Across scripture—from Adam and Abraham to Jesus' disciples—God desires friendship with His creation. Yet, in our modern culture, we are experiencing a "friendship recession." We must reclaim the depth of friendship, both with one another and with God, moving past the surface-level encounters we have settled for.Key Points1. God Desires True FriendshipGod doesn't speak to Moses as a subordinate, but as a friend. When Jesus arrived, He wasn't known as a political leader or an entrepreneur, but as a "friend of sinners." He told His disciples, "I no longer call you servants... I have called you friends." Discipleship is friendship. Yet, we often reduce this profound invitation to a scheduled 15-minute "quiet time." God is everywhere; He desires a relationship that permeates our daily lives, not just an appointment on a calendar.2. The Friendship RecessionWe spend more time alone than any previous generation. Friendship has been reduced to a social luxury rather than a daily necessity. If we lack the capacity for deep, vulnerable relationships with the people around us, it will inevitably damage our capacity for a deep relationship with God.Stop finding time; make time. You make time for what you value.Stop finding friends; be a friend. If you go out to be a friend—focused on being interested rather than interesting—you will never lack friendship.3. Grateful, But Not Satisfied (Show Me Your Glory)Moses had seen more of God's glory than anyone—the burning bush, the plagues, the parting of the sea. Yet, in Exodus 33, he asks, "Now show me your glory." He was grateful for past encounters, but he was not satisfied.Many Christians are living off a spiritual high from ten years ago. We have become "domesticated tigers," settling for small, scheduled moments instead of hungering for the wild, full presence of God.A true revival happens when God's people band together and declare, "Show us your glory! We will not be satisfied with what the previous generation experienced. Do it again."4. The Ultimate Glory is JesusHow does God answer Moses' request to see His glory? In Matthew 17, at the Transfiguration, Moses finally stands in the Promised Land alongside Jesus. The glory Moses asked to see in Exodus was ultimately revealed in the person of Christ. If we want to show a hungry generation the glory of God, we must stop pointing to ourselves, our cool aesthetics, or our trendy evangelism strategies. Like John the Baptist, we must simply and constantly point to Jesus in every season of our lives.ConclusionGod has invited us into a profound friendship. As we reflect on what God has done in our lives and in our church, let us be deeply grateful, but never satisfied. Let us reject shallow routines and isolation, choosing instead to pursue God with a "greed for His presence," constantly pointing the world to Jesus.Calls to ActionEvaluate Your Friendship with God: Are you treating God like a scheduled appointment or a true friend? Move beyond the 15-minute quiet time and invite Him into your entire day.Be a Friend: This week, actively make time to deepen a relationship. Ask questions, be vulnerable, and focus on being interested in someone else's story.Point to Jesus: In your victories and your defeats, make it your primary goal to point others to the glory of Christ rather than yourself.

We, as the church, are called to make disciples and to live as Ambassadors for Christ. The question we will have to answer is How do we make disciples? Listen in as Pastor Daniel gives some clarity on this question. 

The victory of Jesus Christ is inevitable, incontestable, and indestructible. Our victory with him is unquestionable.

The dads discuss sheltering kids from the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—while still living in the world. They ask whether you can ever over-protect your kids, talking about how to help them discern good from bad…the value of family-integrated entertainment…trying to achieve holiness by subtraction rather than encouraging good appetites…and swimming with your kids instead of throwing them in the deep end.

Amazing Grace: The Blind Man Who Finally Saw – John 9 In Episode 138 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 9, the powerful story of a man born blind who encounters Jesus and receives his sight. But this miracle is about more than physical healing—it's about spiritual awakening, identity, and what it truly means to see. As the healed man grows in boldness and the religious leaders grow in resistance, this chapter reveals the difference between outward religion and genuine transformation. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack how Jesus meets us in brokenness, how suffering is not wasted, and why sometimes the people who think they see clearly can still miss the heart of God. This conversation is an invitation to let Jesus open your eyes—not just to healing, but to who He truly is. Where might Jesus be inviting me to see differently—about Him, myself, or others? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Today’s Bible Verse: “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.” — Acts 17:26–27 Acts 17:26–27 reveals a powerful truth about humanity and God’s purpose for our lives. Speaking in Athens, Paul explains that God intentionally created people, nations, places, and times in history—not randomly, but with purpose. At the center of that purpose is relationship: that people would seek Him and find Him. Want to listen without ads?

Then, alone in a new city with nothing but a Bible her mom had given her, everything changed. Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse sits down with Amanda Smith, a staff missionary with Desert Stream Living Waters, to talk about the journey out of a lesbian identity, the real contributing factors behind same-sex attraction, and what the Church gets right — and wrong — when walking alongside people in sexual and relational brokenness.

A conversation about discipleship and best practices for disciple-making.

Finding Hope in Invisible GriefDrew Hensley has a way of stepping into people's troubles with the steady kindness of a pastor who knows Jesus meets us there. A 2007 graduate of Cedarville University, he now serves as a pastor in Charleston, South Carolina, with a heart for local church ministry and a deep compassion for people in pain.His compassion is rooted in the heart of Jesus, who sees people, welcomes them, and cares for them with steady mercy. Drew has tried to mirror that same kind of care in his own ministry, and that shepherding heart has shaped not only how he serves others but how he and his wife, Laura, have walked through their own struggles.Drew and Laura followed the Lord's calling with trust — even when that calling led them far from home to plant a church in Seattle. Adding to the bumpy road was the news that they could not have biological children. That loss cracked something open in them, and out of that ache came Invisible Grief.In Invisible Grief, Drew writes for the quiet sorrow many people carry — the kind that hides beneath a smile when hopes, dreams, and good desires do not come to fruition.He writes for those living with chronic illness, singleness, infertility, and other unseen wounds, offering the kind of encouragement that comes from both Scripture and experience. His voice is tender, honest, and full of hope, because he knows grief often does its deepest work in the hidden places.Through seasons of grief and prayer, Drew and Laura discovered that God had not abandoned them in the dark. He met them there. He gave them grace to keep trusting, and in time, He showed them His goodness in surprising ways. The adoption of their son, Silas, worked out through circumstances that only the Lord could arrange. Along the way, Drew says their relationship with God grew even closer, more intimate, and more hopeful.That same hope fills the pages of Invisible Grief. Drew's great encouragement is simple and sturdy: God sees, God knows, and God will restore all things.On the Cedarville Stories podcast, Drew shared his journey with the same honesty and warmth that permeate his book, pointing listeners to an everlasting hope big enough to hold both joy and grief — one that never lets sorrow have the final word.https://share.transistor.fm/s/293299e8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tf_ZLHE9sk

What would it take for disciple-making to not just be something your church does, but something embedded in its very culture? There are four key essentials: 1) Getting everyday people in the game, 2) Reaching fourth-generation and beyond, 3) Discipling both believers and those still searching, and 4) Expanding disciple-making beyond your local corner. In this lunch session, we'll unpack how these principles can move from theory to reality—proving that a thriving, multiplying disciple-making culture isn't just possible, it's within reach.   Stay informed - Get our newsletter:  http://eepurl.com/hPViAr Get Discipleship.org's premium Podcast Feed: https://disciplemakerspodcast.supercast.com/  Check out the following eBooks from Discipleship.org: -- What Is Church?
