Twenty-five years ago today, America—and the world—changed forever. But years ago, Irvin Baxter asked an extraordinary question: Did 9/11 start World War III?

Do you feel exhausted by the end of a long shift, reaching for coffee or something artificial just to make it through the next one? If you've ever wondered whether there's a simpler, faith-based way to fuel your body, this episode is for you. This post is for the Christian woman who is tired of feeling exhausted, tired of ignoring her body's signals, and ready to start paying attention to what real, God-given nourishment actually looks like. You won't find a magic fix here — just an honest look at one small experiment, and a bigger conversation about trusting how God designed our bodies to be fed. A Personal Experiment Born Out of Exhaustion Working ten to thirteen hour hospital shifts, sometimes three days in a row, leaves little room for rest or careful eating. Packing meals, driving between hospitals, and carrying supplies all day adds up — and it's easy to end those shifts running on empty. That exhaustion is what led to trying something simple: adding a quart of organic coconut water to long shifts, in place of the energy drinks and coffee that never fit into the routine to begin with. What the Research Actually Says About Coconut Water A look at a peer-reviewed article in the journal Molecules on the chemical composition of coconut water offered some interesting context. Coconut water has historically been used for oral and even intravenous rehydration in remote regions of the world, thanks to its natural content of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. One serving contains modest amounts of these nutrients — nothing flashy on a label. But the research also pointed out something worth sitting with: scientists still don't fully understand every compound in coconut water, and more advanced detection methods may reveal even more of its properties over time. That's a reminder that even something as simple as coconut water reflects a level of complexity science hasn't fully caught up to yet. Becoming Your Own Lab Rat This is a concept I write about in my own book, Discover God's Health Wisdom: Exposing 8 Common Myths That Keep You Sick — the idea of testing how your own body responds to different foods, herbs, and habits rather than assuming one approach works for everyone. The personal experiment looked like this: Day one: one quart of coconut water during a shift, modest energy improvement Day two: noticeably more energized despite another long shift Day three: energy held steady with another quart Every body responds differently. Not everyone will notice a dramatic shift, and not everyone will even like the taste — that's simply a reminder that discernment matters more than trends. Why Whole, God-Made Foods Matter There's a bigger principle underneath this whole experiment: real, whole foods created by God are inherently powerful, not because of a flashy nutrition label, but because of who made them. Genesis describes Adam as formed from the earth — a picture of how our bodies were designed to interact with the plants, animals, and elements God created. When our diets drift far from that design and lean heavily on heavily processed, man-made foods, it's not surprising that many of us feel chronically hungry or drained, even when we're eating constantly. This isn't about guilt or perfection. Even a home that values whole foods still has birthday trips to a fast food restaurant sometimes. It's about asking God for wisdom on what serves your body well, rather than following culture's default. A Word on Discernment, Not Diagnosis None of this is medical advice, and it's not a promise that coconut water — or any single food — will transform your energy overnight. What matters more is the practice of paying attention: noticing how your body responds, asking God for wisdom about your choices, and taking small, faithful steps toward better stewardship of your health. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 — Introduction: adding coconut water to long shifts instead of reaching for energy drinks or coffee 00:28 to 01:29 — The reality of ten to thirteen hour hospital shifts and the search for sustainable energy 01:57 to 02:24 — Why energy drinks and coffee were never part of the routine 02:24 to 03:49 — The three-day coconut water experiment and its results 03:49 to 05:47 — What the Molecules journal article reveals about coconut water's nutrient profile and potential benefits 06:17 to 07:41 — A comparison to essential oils and the complexity of plants God created 08:12 to 09:10 — Why a simple nutrition label doesn't tell the whole story 09:40 to 10:37 — Genesis, Adam's design, and the connection between the body and the earth 11:05 to 12:55 — Processed food, chronic hunger, and cultural blind spots around "real food" 13:21 to 14:18 — Why every body is different, and permission to skip coconut water if it's not for you Key Takeaways Whole, God-created foods often carry a complexity that science is still working to fully understand Testing how your own body responds to different foods is a valuable form of self-stewardship Chronic exhaustion and constant hunger are sometimes signs the body is starved of real nutrients, not just calories Faith and food aren't separate categories — asking God for wisdom about what to eat is part of honoring how He designed the body Not every remedy works the same for everyone, and that's not a problem to solve — it's simply how God made each person unique Your Next Step If this episode stirred something in you — a quiet recognition that you've been running on empty for too long, feeding your body without ever really listening to it — that's worth paying attention to. If you're ready for more than information, if you want someone to walk with you one-on-one through a truly holistic approach to your health, body, mind, and spirit, rooted in how God actually designed you to heal, book your free call at herholistichealing.com/call and let's talk.

Could Muslims actually help build the Third Temple?

The Pope is calling Christians around the world toward Jerusalem in 2033. Yes! That is 7 years from now!   But what if that gathering eventually becomes the stage for something Irvin Baxter warned about for decades? A Temple. A world religious leader.

Discover God's promise that you shall not lack as you trust the Good Shepherd to provide every need through unwavering faith.What does it mean when Scripture declares, "I shall not lack"? This sermon explores the strength of God's promise and encourages believers to reject doubt, fear, and double-mindedness. Rather than living according to circumstances, Christians are called to stand on the unchanging truth of God's Word and confidently believe that He faithfully provides everything they need.Beginning with Psalm 23:1, this message reveals the powerful relationship between the Good Shepherd and His sheep. As God's people, we are completely dependent upon Him, and just as a faithful shepherd protects, feeds, and cares for every sheep, Jesus continually watches over those who belong to Him. His provision is complete, and His care never fails.Philippians 4:19 and 2 Corinthians 9:8 reinforce that God supplies every need and blesses His children abundantly for every good work. Instead of striving in our own strength, we are invited to trust God's promises, seek His Kingdom, and rely on Him with wholehearted confidence.The sermon also explains how faith overcomes coveting and constant wanting. By believing Mark 11:24 and embracing God's promises, our desires become aligned with His will, allowing us to live with peace, contentment, and joyful expectation rather than continual dissatisfaction.Finally, Psalm 34:10 and 2 Corinthians 1:20 remind us that every promise of God is "Yes" in Christ. As we seek the Lord and respond with "Amen," we can confidently declare that we shall never lack because our Good Shepherd is faithful in every season.Referenced Verses:Psalm 23:1Psalm 100:3John 10:11Philippians 4:19Proverbs 31:21Psalm 91:1Psalm 91:112 Corinthians 9:8Mark 11:24Exodus 20:17Psalm 34:102 Corinthians 1:20-Social Media Ministries, founded by Spencer Coffman, is committed to sharing the Word of God with the entire world.

Rather than chasing status, achievement, or the "perfect" job, Jonathan shows why Scripture calls us to faithfully serve God wherever he has placed us. Together, Jonathan and Kasey Leander discuss Christian vocation, meaningful work, discipleship, resilience, higher education, and why ordinary faithfulness has extraordinary Kingdom impact. Whether you're a student discerning your future, a parent guiding a young adult, or someone seeking greater purpose in your work, this conversation will encourage you to pursue God's calling with confidence, wisdom, and joy.

This episode isn't easy to write show notes for, because it isn't an easy episode. It starts with a story about a patient who was walking, talking, and eating just weeks before he passed away — and it ends with a question every Christian woman managing chronic fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, or unexplained illness needs to sit with: who actually has the final say over your body? This episode is for the woman who's tired of following protocols that don't fit her, tired of conflicting advice from doctors and the natural health world alike, and ready to bring her health decisions back to God first. If you're done spinning your wheels and ready to take real, faith-grounded steps toward healing, this one's for you. The Story That Sparked This Episode Alexandra shares a recent and personal experience from her work as an RN: a patient in his mid-60s who was healthy and active just a month before his death. After a surgery led to complication after complication — more hospitalizations, an ICU stay, and eventually hospice — he passed away within hours of comfort measures beginning. She's careful to say she doesn't know his full story, and she isn't claiming the surgery was unnecessary. But the experience raised a question she couldn't shake: how often do we move forward with a medical decision simply because it's what's expected, without truly asking God first? What Conformity Really Means Using the Merriam-Webster definition, conformity is "action in accordance with some specified standard or authority." Alexandra unpacks how this shows up not just in health decisions, but in nearly every area of life: Prioritizing money over family Numbing out with entertainment, food, or substances Choosing to be right instead of choosing peace Assuming a decision is safe simply because an authority figure endorsed it She's honest that this isn't a "pointing the finger" message. It's a call to examine a blind spot she believes the church has largely inherited: an unquestioning trust in doctors, protocols, and procedures — without pausing to bring the decision to God. The Trap Works Both Ways One of the most important points in this episode: conformity isn't just about blindly trusting conventional medicine. It's just as easy to blindly trust the natural health world. Alexandra shares her own experience with fish oil, a supplement that's worked well for her for over a decade but upsets her husband's stomach. Every body is different. Just because something is popular in the natural health community, whether that's a supplement, a diet, or a protocol, doesn't mean it's right for you. The goal isn't to swap one authority (the doctor) for another (the wellness influencer). The goal is to go to God first. Where This Message Comes From This isn't a new theme for the podcast. Alexandra shares that the heartbreak she felt watching the world's response in 2020, and the pattern of "following the experts" without discernment, is part of what led her to write her book, Discover God's Health Wisdom: Exposing Lies and Myths That Keep You Sick, and to start this podcast in the first place. After years working inside the pharmaceutical industry and seeing its inefficiencies and conflicts of interest firsthand, she's not anti-medicine. She's pro-discernment. Medications and surgeries have their place. But so does asking God before assuming they're the only path forward. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:01 — A patient's sudden decline: walking and talking one month, gone the next 01:28 — How the book Wealthy and Well Known led Alexandra to the word that describes what breaks her heart most: conformity 02:57 — The definition of conformity and why it's the root issue behind so much chronic illness and exhaustion 03:25 — What 2020 revealed about blind trust in "the experts" 04:50 — How conformity shows up far beyond healthcare: money, entertainment, conflict, and numbing behaviors 05:47 — The blind spot Alexandra sees in the church around medical authority 06:47 — Why conformity in the natural health world is just as real a trap as conformity in conventional medicine 07:44 — The fish oil example: why "it worked for me" doesn't mean "it's right for you" 08:41 — A reminder that both scientists and the medical community have been wrong before, and will be again 09:07 — Alexandra's invitation to take the next step if this episode resonated Key Takeaways No single authority, not a doctor, not a supplement brand, not a wellness influencer, was ever meant to have the final say over your body. Discernment matters more than default. Whether a decision looks conventional or "natural," it's worth asking whether it's actually right for you. Every body is different. What worked for someone else, even someone you trust, isn't a guarantee it will work for you. Bringing decisions to God first isn't about rejecting medicine or rejecting natural remedies. It's about refusing to hand over ownership of your health to anyone but Him. Chronic fatigue, autoimmune symptoms, and unexplained illness often call for more than a new protocol. Sometimes they call for a pause and a real conversation with God about the path forward. Ready to Stop Spinning Your Wheels? If this episode stirred something in you, whether it's frustration with the merry-go-round of protocols and opinions, or a quiet sense that it's time to stop outsourcing your health decisions to whoever spoke last, you don't have to figure this out alone. Alexandra offers a More Energy Strategy Session to help you get clear on what's actually driving your exhaustion or chronic symptoms, and what a next step rooted in wisdom and faith could look like for you.

Episode Summary: Father’s Day can be a complicated day—one that quietly reopens wounds many people work hard to keep closed. While social media fills with tributes to loving dads, laughter around backyard grills, and heartfelt cards, there are countless individuals listening today who feel something very different: grief over a father who has died, sadness for a relationship that never was, pain from abandonment or abuse, or longing for a father they never knew. If Father’s Day brings mixed emotions, confusion, or even dread, I want you to know - you are not alone, and there is nothing wrong with you. On this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, we will gently explore why Father’s Day can be emotionally charged, how our experiences with our earthly fathers shape our emotional and spiritual lives, and - most importantly - how healing is possible. We will talk about how God meets us in the complexity, how He reveals Himself as the perfect Father when human fathers fall short, and how your story does not end with the wounds you’ve endured. We are talking about When Father’s Day Is Complicated: How to Heal from Wounds and Discover God as the Perfect Father Quotables from the episode: For many people, Father's Day isn't just a holiday. It's a trigger. Scripture reminds us that God is not intimidated by our complicated emotions. He invites honesty, not performance. That doesn't mean you're weak. It means you're human. Many people don't realize that their struggle to experience God as loving isn't a spiritual failure. It's often a relational wound. Recognizing this connection isn't about blaming. It's about understanding. One of the most important healing steps is learning to separate who God is from who your father was. God does not inherit the flaws of human fathers. Healing begins when we allow God to redefine fatherhood for us. God does not merely fill the gap. He heals the wound. Healing doesn't erase the past, but it loosens its grip. You are seen by a Father who delights in you, not because of what you do, but because of who you are. Scripture References: Matthew 7:9–11 “Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Psalm 27:10 – “Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me.” Psalm 68:5 – that He is “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling.” Recommended Resources: Free Stress-Response Personality Assessment Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

Discover God's way to deal with worry and anxiety in this powerful, life-changing message. If you are struggling with stress, racing thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed by the world, learn how biblical truth can quiet the noise and restore your peace. Learn practical steps to protect your mind and walk in true spiritual freedom today. In this foundational teaching, we explore the spiritual roots of the stress and mental exhaustion marking modern culture. Drawing a powerful parallel between biological weeds and internal distress, the message tracks the origin of life's "thorns and thistles" back to Genesis, illustrating how internal anxiety functions exactly like invasive plants in a garden box. When left unchecked, the worries of this world and the deceitfulness of wealth act as environmental contaminants, pulling vital spiritual nutrients, light, and focus away from the heart. True relief requires more than superficial fixes; it demands a proactive, daily spiritual audit. By intentionally replacing bare spaces in our minds with scripture, dedicated prayer, consistent worship, and authentic Christian community, believers can deny anxiety its power. This message serves as a practical guide to cultivating healthy soil, pulling up toxic thoughts before they take root, and protecting your calling to bear lasting spiritual fruit. Reflection Question - Nature abhors bare soil, and our minds are the same. What practical steps will you take this week to proactively cultivate your heart with the Holy Spirit through daily scripture reading, prayer, or worship? Connect with us online at FocusChurch.com.

If you have ever felt uneasy about a prescription but could not quite explain why, this episode is for you. Not because the goal is to scare you, but because you deserve to understand how the system actually works — from someone who worked inside it for years. Welcome I am a Registered Nurse and Christian holistic health coach, and before I ever coached women toward natural healing, I spent years inside the pharmaceutical industry working in drug safety and pharmacovigilance. I processed the reports. I saw the conflicts of interest. And eventually, I became the patient. This episode is for the Christian woman who has been dismissed, medicated, and sent home with a prescription and zero real answers. The woman who suspects there is a better way but does not know where to start. If that is you, keep listening. What the Drug Approval Process Actually Looks Like Most people assume that by the time a drug reaches your pharmacist, it has been tested on hundreds of thousands of people over decades. The reality is more sobering. Before a drug is approved, it goes through clinical trials. For your average drug, the median total number of participants across all clinical trials before FDA approval is 1,708 people. For orphan drugs — drugs created for rare diseases — that number drops to a median of 438 participants. That is the data your doctor's prescription is based on. The Conflict of Interest Nobody Talks About Here is what most people outside the industry do not know. When a patient has an adverse event during a clinical trial, a report gets sent to the drug safety department. A physician is then required to determine whether or not the drug caused that event. But that physician works for — or is contracted by — the pharmaceutical company. The chief medical officer, the person setting the tone for how reports are assessed, has a financial stake in the outcome. Even the most ethical physician in that position faces a fundamental conflict of interest. And in some cases, if the clinical trial investigator — the doctor actually watching the patient — determines the drug caused the adverse event, the pharmaceutical company's physician can override that assessment entirely. The Human Factor Inside the System The people who work in drug safety are largely detail-oriented, hardworking, and genuinely care about patient outcomes. That matters and it is worth saying. But the system itself has real limitations. High turnover rates mean institutional knowledge walks out the door constantly. Clinical trial teams spread across the globe sometimes do not understand their own reporting obligations. Physicians reviewing dozens of nearly identical reports daily are fighting boredom and burnout. And patients taking 10, 15, or even 30 medications at once make causality nearly impossible to determine with any real certainty. The science is not as clean as the packaging suggests. After FDA Approval — The Data Gets Even Thinner Once a drug is on the market, the primary way a pharmaceutical company learns about safety issues is through voluntary reports — from you or your doctor. Most patients have never heard of a pharmacovigilance department. Most healthcare professionals do not know they can or should be reporting adverse events directly to pharmaceutical companies. That means the post-market safety data is largely dependent on a system most people do not know exists. Vioxx is the example that opened this episode. FDA approved. Widely prescribed. Pulled from the market after data showed an increased risk of heart attacks and strokes. The clinical trials passed. The stamp of approval was given. And people were still harmed. What This Means for Your Health Decisions None of this means every pharmaceutical product is dangerous or that every person working in the industry has bad intentions. That is not the point. The point is discernment. The safety profile of the drug you may be taking rests heavily on the worldview of one chief medical officer at one pharmaceutical company, filtered through a reporting system most people have never heard of, built on a data set far smaller than most people realize. That is not a conspiracy. That is just how the system is structured. Why God Must Come First My friend had Crohn's disease for roughly 15 years. One day she was healed. Her doctor's response? It must be that you never had Crohn's disease in the first place. That response reveals everything about a worldview that cannot make room for healing outside of its own framework. God is not limited by what the data set allows. He is not constrained by what the chief medical officer approves. His wisdom is complete, and He designed your body with purpose and precision. I am not here to get you off your medications. I am not here to tell you pharmaceutical companies are entirely bad. My mission is simpler and more important than that — to encourage you to go to God first. To seek His wisdom before you outsource your health to a system that was never designed to heal you. As one of my dear friends shared with me for my book, Discover God's Health Wisdom: Science and knowledge are gifts from the Almighty One, yet they are not God. When we believe the deception that academia, research, and humanity's partial understanding is more powerful than the One who created it all, then it controls us and leaves us susceptible to more deception. Time-Stamped Highlights 0:01 — The Vioxx story: what it reveals about FDA approval and drug safety 1:00 — What pharmacovigilance is and why most people have never heard of it 3:51 — The good inside the system: the people who genuinely care 4:17 — The chaotic human factor and the God complex in conventional medicine 7:08 — The conflict of interest at the heart of drug safety assessments 9:29 — The clinical trial data sets: how many people a drug is actually tested on 11:22 — Post-market reporting and why the data gets thinner after approval 13:15 — Why comorbidities and polypharmacy make causality nearly impossible to assess 16:31 — How a physician's worldview shapes the safety conclusions of an entire drug program 17:56 — The invitation: go to God first for your health Key Takeaways Drug approvals are based on smaller data sets than most people assume — medians of 1,708 participants for standard drugs and 438 for orphan drugs across all clinical trials The physician determining whether a drug caused an adverse event often works directly for the pharmaceutical company — a structural conflict of interest Post-market safety data depends largely on voluntary reporting from patients and doctors, most of whom do not know the system exists The science is real and has genuine value — but it is incomplete, human, and subject to bias like every other human system Seeking God's wisdom first does not mean rejecting medicine; it means approaching your health with discernment rather than blind trust True lasting healing is possible — and God's design for your body is more complete than any clinical trial Ready to Stop Outsourcing Your Health? If this episode stirred something in you — if you have been wondering whether there is a better path forward for your energy, your autoimmune symptoms, or your overall health — I want to invite you to book a More Energy Strategy Session with me. This is a private, one-on-one conversation where we look at what is actually going on in your body and begin building a path forward rooted in God's design for your health. Not another prescription. Not another dead end.

God has always had a plan to redeem humanity, and you can read all about it in the Bible! The Word of God is a beautiful and continuous story that begins in the Garden of Eden and culminates with the prophetic return of Christ. This singular storyline is often misunderstood when the Bible is broken up into tiny, separate stories. This confusion is a mess that Marian Jordan Ellis has sought to clarify and make easier for the believer to understand. In her devotional, Garden to Garden: Through the Bible from Eden to Eternal Paradise, she beautifully takes readers on a 30-day journey that explains how each piece of the Bible fits together to form a beautiful portrait of God's redemption story. Marian was inspired to write this devotional after seeing so many new Christians struggle with the enormity and perceived complexity of studying the Bible. TAKEAWAYS Those who weren't raised in the church may feel overwhelmed with the many stories in the Bible and therefore not read it The Old Testament is full of promises and the New Testament fulfills those promises and also looks toward the future return of Christ Garden to Garden: Through the Bible from Eden to Eternal Paradise is a great tool for introducing someone to the Bible's continuous story Even those who grew up in the church may misunderstand the Bible as a collection of totally separate, disjointed stories

NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here!The vineyard goes through many seasons. The fruit—grapes—is harvested 150-180 days after flowering. When we consider Jesus' command, “Abide in Me,” we should reflect on the seasons and how to abide. For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.Psalm 62:1-2 The psalmist finds his deepest consolation in one conviction: God is enough. True peace belongs to those who abide in quietness of heart before Him. Resting in God requires waiting — patience is essential. God is both the strength of His people (“rock” and “fortress”) and the source of their salvation.For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will not be shaken. My salvation and glory depend on God, my strong rock. My refuge is in God.Psalm 62:5-7 Notice that David doesn't say, “Look to the Lord first, and then see what else might help.” He says, "Trust (wait) in God alone.” Turn away from every other substitute and turn toward the one who is truly sufficient. We do not deny our pain or pretend our circumstances are easy. Rather, we choose, in the middle of the difficulty, to direct our souls toward God rather than away from Him. This is not passive resignation — it is active and intentional surrender. Abiding is an active choice. Song: Rest - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur78_jDX7P4&list=RDUr78_jDX7P4&start_radio=1

NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here!Jesus said, “I am the True Vine … Abide in me” (John 15:1, 4). We may read these verses in John's Gospel too quickly and miss the depth of His words. He is speaking to His closest disciples just hours before His betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane. Jesus told them, "The Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” Now, Jesus continues His instruction with the following command. This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you. There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. John 15:12-14 Jesus defines friendship in terms of sacrifice and obedience (verse 14). Christian friendship involves a commitment to follow the Lord's teachings and become partners in His work. Jesus tells His friends that He chose them and that He has appointed them to produce fruit. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.

Kelly Jackson is the Executive Director of NAMI Johnson County and a mom who has walked one of the harder roads in parenting: a husband who experienced a suicide attempt, a daughter who began hearing voices at eleven, and the long, winding journey of learning to love her family well in the middle of it all. She doesn't speak from theory. She speaks from Tuesday mornings and medication trials and moments of grace. Together, Misty and Kelly talk through ✦ what mental health conditions actually are (and why "one in five" is a number every mom needs to sit with), ✦ how to find the right therapist for your child, ✦ what guilt and grief look like from the inside, and ✦ why Kelly believes the church has more room to grow in this conversation. Kelly also shares the one daily rhythm that has kept her anchored through all of it — and it's simpler than you might think. This isn't a heavy, clinical episode. It's a conversation between two women who love Jesus and love moms, trying to make sure no one has to figure this out alone. Kelly's honesty will meet you wherever you are — whether you're navigating a fresh diagnosis, wondering if what you're seeing warrants concern, or just trying to understand someone you love.   NOTE: This podcast is for educational and encouragement purposes only and does not constitute professional counseling, therapy, or medical advice.

Season 22: Abide | #3 – Abide in LoveScripture: John 15:5-11SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here!ABIDE – In this podcast season, our goal is to examine what the Bible teaches about maintaining a daily, dependent connection with Jesus so we can bear spiritual fruit rather than relying on self-effort. Jesus states positively in John 15:5 – “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” Abiding is an active, not a passive, process. The follower of Christ is to bear fruit. When the branch remains in union with the vine … with Christ in me … the life of Christ nourishes the disciple, and fruit will be inevitable. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. John 15:9-10 Jesus is loved by His Heavenly Father. He loves each of us and wants us to abide in His love. Jesus' example is that He followed the Father's commandments. So, we are to live according to the commandments. Love unites the disciples to Christ, as branches are united to a vine. That is why Jesus commands us to “Abide in my love.” Song: Deep Love of Jesus – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaySq5OBayY&list=RDvaySq5OBayY&start_radio=1

Additional resources to enrich your Walk with God are available on our ministry website, Discover God's Truth. NEW! Watch us ONLINE! Click here!In Jerusalem, Jesus met with His disciples in the Upper Room, and then they walked to Gethsemane. He told them, “I am the vine, and My Father is the gardener.” Jesus knew His Father was carefully watching over the vineyard—tending the vine and preparing the branches to bear fruit. He used this beautiful illustration to prepare the eleven disciples for the days ahead. I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who abide in Me and I in them will bear much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.John 15:5 Jesus calls us to abide. This is not a passive act. We must remain in constant union – in daily, regular fellowship with Jesus – and have a passionate desire to walk with Him. Unless we abide – that is, stay close to Jesus – we will not bear fruit. Your Word says, “We can do nothing.” Song: Abide in Me – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-0cmNCfOXA&list=RD9-0cmNCfOXA&start_radio=1
