Scripture Meditation | Lectio Divina | Strength in Weakness | 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 (NLT) Download your FREE Unshakable Journal here. Is there a struggle, a weakness, or a burden you’ve been asking God to take away?But it’s still there. It feels like it’s lingering, and it’s holding you back. You’re not alone.The Apostle Paul felt the same way. In this passage, Paul shares a deeply personal struggle—his “thorn in the flesh”—and how God responded not by removing it, but by offering a deeper promise:“My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” In this week’s meditation, we’ll slow down with 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, reflecting on what it means to find unshakable strength not in ourselves but in God. This is the eighth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re meditating on Scripture that anchors us in God’s truth and helps us stand firm in every season. In this meditation on Unshakable Strength in Surrender, you’ll be invited to:• Reflect on a place in your life where you feel weak or burdened• Notice what God is saying to you through Paul’s words• Consider how God might be inviting you to trust Him more• Rest in the truth that His grace is not only enough—it is abundant Your weakness is not the end of the story.It’s the very place where God’s strength is most at work.

So to keep me from becoming proud, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to torment me and keep me from becoming proud.8 Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away.9 Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.”So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.10 That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

A Scripture meditation using Lectio Divina. Meditate on how to stand strong in our spiritual battles with Ephesians 6:10, 13–17 Get your FREE Unshakable Journal here. We all face spiritual battles. Some are loud and obvious. Others are subtle and wear us down over time. In either case, we were never meant to fight in our own strength. In this week’s Scripture meditation, we reflect on Ephesians 6:10, 13–17, where Paul gives us a powerful reminder: we are called to stand firm, not because we are strong, but because God is. This isn’t a call to strive harder. It’s a call to be equipped. To recognize our vulnerabilities and take up the armor God provides so we can remain unshakable when the enemy attacks. This is the fifth episode in our series: Unshakable: Strength for Today, Hope for Tomorrow. Each week, we’re turning to Scripture to help us rely on God’s strength and remain grounded in His truth. In this meditation on Unshakable in God’s Power, you’ll be invited to:• Reflect on where you may feel vulnerable to spiritual attack• Notice which piece of God’s armor you may need to strengthen• Learn what each piece of armor represents and how it helps you stand firm• Consider one practical step to take today toward walking in God’s strength• Rest in the truth that you are not alone—God is with you, and He is your strength Whether you’re in the middle of a battle or simply preparing for one, may this time in God’s Word remind you that His power is more than enough.

Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. 14 Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. 15 For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. 16 In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. 17 Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

We all long for stability—a life that can’t be easily shaken.And yet, it’s surprisingly easy to drift. Whether it’s the constant stream of news, the demands of our to-do lists, the pull of people’s opinions, or simply our own self-reliance, we can find ourselves slowly swayed—sometimes without even noticing it.

Scripture meditation invites us to slow down and listen for God’s voice, and today, we’ll engage in Lectio Divina to reflect on our calling through Matthew 28:16-20. God calls each of us to meaningful work—work that fulfills us and furthers His Kingdom. But do we ever feel truly ready? The disciples wrestled with this, too. After His resurrection, Jesus gathered them on a mountain in Galilee. Some worshiped, some doubted—but all were called. Jesus didn’t wait for them to have everything figured out before sending them. Instead, He declared His authority, gave them a mission, and promised: "I am with you always." As we meditate on this passage, we’ll listen, reflect, and respond to Jesus’ invitation. Consider: Where is Jesus leading you? What step is He asking you to take? How does His promise, "I am with you always," shape your response? Come, rest in His presence. You are never alone.

The passage from this meditation is: Matthew 28:16-20 NLT Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted! Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Do your mistakes disqualify you from God’s calling? Can He still use you? In this guided Scripture meditation, we’ll step into Peter’s restoration in John 21—a moment filled with grace, renewal, and love. After denying Jesus three times, Peter must have felt like a failure, wondering if he had lost his place in God’s plan. Maybe you’ve felt that way too. But Jesus wasn’t done with Peter. And He isn’t done with you. As we meditate on this powerful encounter, you’ll sit by the fire with Jesus, hear His words of restoration, and receive His love for you today. Come, listen, and let Jesus’s calling revive your heart. Get your free Lent Journal here. Here are some additional helpful links: Download your free LENT guide here.

He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep. 18 “I tell you the truth, when you were young, you were able to do as you liked; you dressed yourself and went wherever you wanted to go. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will dress you and take you where you don’t want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to let him know by what kind of death he would glorify God. Then Jesus told him, “Follow me.” 20 Peter turned around and saw behind them the disciple Jesus loved—the one who had leaned over to Jesus during supper and asked, “Lord, who will betray you?” 21 Peter asked Jesus, “What about him, Lord?” 22 Jesus replied, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? As for you, follow me.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Experience the wonder of Easter Sunday with this Resurrection meditation. Today is the day we celebrate that Jesus is risen—but can you imagine what this moment was like for His first followers? Unbelievable. How could someone they saw die be alive? This meditation invites you to slow down and step into the wonder of that first Resurrection morning. The women discovered the empty tomb. The disciples struggled to believe. And two followers, walking the road to Emmaus, unknowingly encountered Jesus Himself. In this meditation, you’ll take the journey to Emmaus as one of those travelers. What would this seven-mile walk have been like? Grief. Confusion. Wrestling with the rumors of resurrection. Then, suddenly, a stranger begins to walk beside you. He explains the Scriptures, revealing what you couldn’t see before. And finally, in the breaking of bread, your eyes are opened—It was Jesus. He had been with you all along. This Easter, I pray you encounter the risen Christ in a fresh way—with wonder, hope, and joy. He is risen! He is risen indeed!

The passage from this meditation is: Luke 24:13-34, NLT 13 That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. 16 But God kept them from recognizing him. 17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stopped short, sadness written across their faces. 18 Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, “You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.” 19 “What things?” Jesus asked. “The things that happened to Jesus, the man from Nazareth,” they said. “He was a prophet who did powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in the eyes of God and all the people. 20 But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified him. 21 We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago. 22 “Then some women from our group of his followers were at his tomb early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report. 23 They said his body was missing, and they had seen angels who told them Jesus is alive! 24 Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, his body was gone, just as the women had said.” 25 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. 26 Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?” 27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, 29 but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them. 30 As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared! 32 They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?” 33 And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem.

Holy Saturday is the quiet, in-between space—the day after Jesus’s crucifixion and the day before His resurrection. A day of silence, grief, and waiting. Scripture tells us little about what happened on this day. We know Jesus’s body lay in the tomb, His followers were scattered and mourning, and hope must have felt lost. They didn’t yet know what was coming. This Holy Saturday meditation invites you to step into that moment. To imagine what it was like for Jesus’s disciples—those who walked with Him, who believed He was the Messiah, and who now sat in deep uncertainty. Through this meditation, you’ll be guided to:• Reflect on the weight of waiting and the silence of Holy Saturday.• Bring before God the places where you, too, are waiting.• Rest in the truth of God’s promises, even when His timing is unclear. We hold vigil today, remembering that God is always at work—even when we cannot see it. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and prepare your heart for the hope that is coming.

Good Friday is the darkest and most solemn day on the Christian calendar. Yet, because of Jesus’s sacrifice—a sacrifice that changes everything—it truly becomes good. In this Scripture meditation, we step into the scene at the cross, where Jesus is crucified between two criminals. We witness the reactions of those around Him—the mocking soldiers, the mourning crowd, the two criminals beside Him. And in the midst of it all, we hear Jesus’s powerful words of grace and forgiveness: "Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing." Even in His suffering, Jesus extends mercy. Through this Good Friday meditation, you’ll be invited to: Enter the scene and observe those around the cross. Reflect on the words and actions of Jesus. Sit at the foot of the cross and thank Him for what He endured for you. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and let the weight of this day settle in. As you listen, may you encounter Jesus’s love, grace, and mercy in a deeper way. Get your free Lent Journal here. Here are some additional helpful links: Download your free LENT guide here.

When they came to a place called The Skull, they nailed him to the cross. And the criminals were also crucified—one on his right and one on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. The crowd watched and the leaders scoffed. “He saved others,” they said, “let him save himself if he is really God’s Messiah, the Chosen One.” The soldiers mocked him, too, by offering him a drink of sour wine. They called out to him, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” A sign was fastened above him with these words: “This is the King of the Jews.” One of the criminals hanging beside him scoffed, “So you’re the Messiah, are you? Prove it by saving yourself—and us, too, while you’re at it!” But the other criminal protested, “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.” And Jesus replied, “I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Today is Maundy Thursday—the night before Jesus went to the cross. This Lent Meditation will guide you to reflect on Jesus’s unconditional love. On this night, Jesus knelt to wash His disciples’ feet, shared the Passover meal, and redefined the meaning of the bread and cup. Then, He walked with His disciples to the Mount of Olives, where He spoke words they didn’t fully understand—words about their coming failure and His unwavering love. In today’s meditation, we’ll step into this moment through Peter’s eyes, listening as Jesus tells him that he will deny Him. But even in this painful prediction, there is hope—because Jesus’s love was never dependent on Peter’s strength. And His love for us is the same—unconditional, unwavering, and faithful. As you slow down and enter this sacred moment, may you remember: Everything Jesus does is because of His extravagant love for you. Listen now to enter into the story of Maundy Thursday.

This Lectio Divina meditation for Lent invites us to slow down and reflect on how it feels to be misunderstood. When have you felt misunderstood? Maybe your motives were misjudged or your actions criticized? I know that feeling well. And I wonder if that’s how the woman in Mark 14 felt as she poured out her costly perfume for Jesus—only to be met with harsh words and judgment. But Jesus saw her differently. He defended her. He honored her. And He spoke these powerful words: She did what she could. This week, in our Lectio Divina meditation, we’ll enter this moment with Jesus, slow down, and reflect on: Where am I tempted to judge someone else’s actions? Where am I holding back out of fear of how others might perceive me? What is one small thing I can do for God today? Through this passage, may we gain a fresh perspective—not just our own, but Jesus’s perspective. Join me as we slow down, listen, and receive what God has for us through His Word.

The Entire meditation text is: Mark 14:3-9, NET Now while Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon the leper, reclining at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of costly aromatic oil from pure nard. After breaking open the jar, she poured it on his head. But some who were present indignantly said to one another, “Why this waste of expensive ointment? It could have been sold for more than three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor!” So they spoke angrily to her. But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a good service for me. For you will always have the poor with you, and you can do good for them whenever you want. But you will not always have me! She did what she could. She anointed my body beforehand for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Jesus’s anger may not be something we often reflect on, but in today’s guided Lent meditation, we witness a moment when He expresses righteous anger. During the final week before His crucifixion, Jesus enters the temple, overturns the tables of the money changers, and drives out those exploiting worshipers. His anger isn’t reckless—it’s intentional, purposeful, and deeply rooted in love for God’s people. This passage from Mark 11:15–18 invites us to consider what stirs the heart of Jesus and how He responds when worship is corrupted. As you meditate on this scene, you’ll be invited to step into the story—as a disciple watching in awe, a religious leader resisting His authority, a pilgrim seeking to worship, or someone in need of healing. Through reflection, we’ll explore what stands out and how this passage speaks into our lives today. Then, you’ll be invited to respond to Jesus in a personal way, opening your heart to what He is revealing. Take a few moments to slow down, listen, and receive what God has for you today.

He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves, 16 and he stopped everyone from using the Temple as a marketplace. 17 He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves.” 18 When the leading priests and teachers of religious law heard what Jesus had done, they began planning how to kill him. But they were afraid of him because the people were so amazed at his teaching.

He silences the accusers, extends mercy, and invites the woman into a new way of life.

All the people came to him, and he sat down and began to teach them. The experts in the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?” (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against him.) Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger. When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, “Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her.” Then he bent over again and wrote on the ground. Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones, until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up straight and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” She replied, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either.

Welcome to our latest episode where we delve into the crucial topic of estate planning and business continuity with Oscar Vasquez, a state planning software coordinator. This discussion is not just for personal asset management but is especially tailored for entrepreneurs who wish to secure their business's future. Estate Planning and Business Continuity Oscar kicks off our discussion by emphasizing the importance of having solid estate plans in place, which includes everything from wills to detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). He shares an enlightening story about a bakery owner who successfully protected his business for future generations through meticulous legacy planning. The conversation, however, highlights that while Oscar's company provides software solutions for such planning, they do not directly integrate SOPs into their systems or templates. Living Trust and Affordable Legal Assistance Understanding the concept of a living trust can be daunting. Oscar breaks it down simply as a contract meant to safeguard one's assets for their beneficiaries, bypassing the need for lengthy probate hearings and avoiding hefty taxes. He proudly discusses how their service fills the gap between costly attorney fees and often insufficient DIY solutions, offering a middle-ground service that's both comprehensive and financially accessible. Software Solutions for Trust Management The benefits of using specialized software for trust management are vast. Oscar shares how their platform allows for unlimited changes, enabling users to adjust their plans as life situations evolve. He shares a touching story of a young couple using the trust to start saving for their future grandchildren's education, illustrating the personal and proactive nature of estate planning. Navigating Probate and Protecting Your Legacy Oscar explains the often misunderstood process of probate, detailing how it can expose estates to public scrutiny and potential scams, and significantly delay beneficiaries' access to bequeathed assets. To underscore the importance of a well-structured estate plan, he offers a discount code for listeners looking to start their journey in safeguarding their business and personal assets. Closing Thoughts As we wrap up, Oscar's insights remind us of the critical role estate planning plays not just in personal asset management but in ensuring the continuity and protection of a business. Listeners are encouraged to consider how they can apply these principles to their own business ventures to ensure a lasting legacy.

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
In this Lent Scripture meditation, we’ll engage in Lectio Divina, a slow, reflective way of reading Scripture, to experience a moment when Jesus challenges our assumptions about power and greatness. NOTE: I’ve created a free Lent Journal to help you reflect and pray through each meditation. It includes the Scripture passages, reflection prompts, and space to process your time with the Lord. You can download it here. At this point in Jesus’s ministry, the disciples have seen His miracles, heard His teachings, and are beginning to understand that He is the Messiah. But as we see in Matthew 18:1-5, they still assume He’s bringing an earthly kingdom—and they’re eager to know what positions of power they’ll hold. Instead of rebuking them, Jesus responds with a living illustration. He calls a child to stand among them and teaches that true greatness isn’t about status or control—it’s about humility, dependence, and trust. Through this guided Scripture meditation, you’ll have space to: Identify where you’re tempted to seek status, control, or recognition. Notice what God is highlighting in this passage for you today. Consider what’s holding you back from trusting Him fully. Rest in the truth that God’s way—even when it feels upside down—is always best. Take a moment to pause, reflect, and open your heart to Jesus’s invitation to live with childlike faith. Here are some additional helpful links: Download your free LENT guide here.

So Much More: Creating Space for God (Lectio Divina and Scripture Meditation)
In this Lent Scripture Meditation, we step into a powerful moment in Mark 7:32-37 where Jesus heals a man who is deaf and can barely speak. But this healing is more than just a miracle—it’s deeply personal. Rather than healing from a distance, Jesus takes the man aside, touches him, sighs deeply, and speaks healing words. This moment reveals the loving and intimate heart of Jesus. He doesn’t just restore the man’s hearing and speech; He meets him with personal care, treating him with dignity and love. As you meditate on this passage, I invite you to consider:✨ Where do you long to experience Jesus’s personal care in your life?✨ How might He be inviting you to trust His love and presence today? Take a deep breath, slow down, and allow this meditation to help you experience the love and care of Jesus in a fresh way. I’ve created a free Lent Journal to help you reflect and pray through each meditation. It includes the Scripture passages, reflection prompts, and space to process your time with the Lord.

The Entire meditation text is: Mark 7:32-37, NLT 32 A deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to (Jesus), and the people begged Jesus to lay his hands on the man to heal him. 33 Jesus led him away from the crowd so they could be alone. He put his fingers into the man’s ears. Then, spitting on his own fingers, he touched the man’s tongue. 34 Looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, “Ephphatha,” which means, “Be opened!” 35 Instantly the man could hear perfectly, and his tongue was freed so he could speak plainly! 36 Jesus told the crowd not to tell anyone, but the more he told them not to, the more they spread the news. 37 They were completely amazed and said again and again, “Everything he does is wonderful. He even makes the deaf to hear and gives speech to those who cannot speak.” Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
