Midnight won't fix your life, but a decision might. We're closing the year by doing the uncomfortable work most people avoid: naming what we will leave behind so we can walk lighter, clearer, and truer. Instead of stacking new goals on old baggage, we cut off the dead weight—labels we accepted, habits that stole our time, and stories that made our struggles feel like our names.I share the line that stopped me in my tracks: sometimes you go through something so long you forget who you are. That idea reframed the whole year. We talk about the difference between trying and deciding, how language opens or closes escape hatches, and why conditions are not identity. If you've said “I'm trying to quit,” you'll hear how “I quit” changes your posture, your calendar, and your outcomes. We get practical about replacing doom scrolling, breaking negative self-talk with pattern interrupts, and building momentum through small, daily wins that compound into confidence.This conversation also leans on faith, community, and proof from your own life. You're not walking into 2026 empty handed—you're walking in with your track record, your grit, and your God-given strengths. We unpack tools to guard your inputs with a digital detox, curate voices that lift your standards, and practice self-compassion that you'd actually offer a friend. I reflect on six years of building Loud Proud American, the trap of dwelling and swelling, and the choice to stop letting struggle define the day.If you're ready to trade resolutions for release, and goals for grounded action, this is your reset.

On today's program, the judicial commission of the Anglican Church in North America has handed down its long-awaited verdict in the months-long trial of Bishop Stewart Ruch. And that verdict is, “Not Guilty.” We'll have details. And, International Servants has been making big claims about its decades of ministry work in Belize—but verifying those claims has proven more difficult. We'll take a look. Plus, Elevation Church—the North Carolina-based megachurch led by Steven Furtick—has announced the launch of Elevation College. But first, St. Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, Florida, has officially voted to leave the Presbyterian Church in America. The church, originally led by Dr. R.C. Sproul, joined the PCA in 2023. It first considered a vote to leave this summer, but delayed the vote while referring the matter to the church's board of elders, also known as its session, to study the situation and return with a recommendation. Its lead pastor, Burk Parsons, was suspended from his role as a teaching elder in the PCA in June after being found guilty by a church judicial commission of three charges related to, among other things, a “domineering” and “intimidating” leadership style, which included accusations of bullying and slander. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh. We get database and other technical support from Stephen DuBarry, Rod Pitzer, and Casey Sudduth. Writers who contributed to today's program include Kim Roberts, Kathryn Post, Jessica Eturralde, and Aaron Earls.

In this episode we sit down with worship artist Tiffany Hudson from Elevation Church. We talk all things worship and song writing and what it means to live a life of worship. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

Have you ever been scared while waiting for answers — and your mind went straight to the worst? Stop scrolling — if you're scared while waiting for answers, you are NOT alone. When you're stuck in the uncertain times — between what you feel and what you hope — the waiting becomes the hardest part. If that's you, don't click away — stay with us for the first 60 seconds. This episode is part of a globally streamed, 5-star Christian show with listeners in 16+ countries, recognized as one of the top Christian women's podcasts for real faith and real-life conversation. In this raw mother-daughter conversation, Chosen By Jesus hosts Kelley and Taylor Tyan talk openly about the emotional and spiritual battle that happens in the waiting — especially when fear, symptoms, tests, or unanswered questions leave you imagining the worst instead of expecting God's best. If your family has faced difficult medical seasons, the waiting hits different. Even when it could be anything, your mind goes back to what you've survived before. Experience shapes fear — even when faith is present. But waiting does not mean God is silent — or absent. Waiting is the place where trust becomes oxygen. ______ Inside This Episode • How to stay grounded when your mind won't stop racing • Why waiting hurts emotionally + spiritually • What to do when fear feels louder than Scripture • Why God develops faith before delivering answers • How to shift from panic → holy expectation ______ Scriptures Referenced Psalm 37:7 • Isaiah 60:22 • Habakkuk 2:3 • Psalm 27:14 • Galatians 6:9 • Romans 8:28 ______ Prayer God, we give You every unknown, every fear, every result, and every outcome. Teach us to wait with peace instead of panic, hope instead of dread, and trust instead of control. Be louder than fear. Be nearer than worry. Be our peace in the waiting.

Cuando te sientes rodeado de presión y miedo, es fácil perder la perspectiva. Pero, ¿y si Dios ya proveyó la ayuda por la que has estado orando? Mantenlo en contexto: la batalla no es prueba de que estés perdiendo; es evidencia de que llevas algo por lo que vale la pena pelear.«Ustedes, queridos hijos, son de Dios y han vencido a esos falsos profetas, porque el que está en ustedes es más poderoso que el que está en el mundo». – 1 Juan 4:4 (NVI)Referencias bíblicas:2 Reyes 6, versículos 8-17Romanos 8, versículo 181 Juan 4, versículo 4Génesis 37, versículos 16-18

Discover why declining churches juggle multiple worship styles, how online views predict growth, and why the cost barrier for quality streaming has never been lower. Key Takeaways 76% of surveyed churches now focus on modern/contemporary worship only Churches with multiple worship styles are more likely to be declining 96% of churches now offer online services (up from ~20% pre-COVID) Online views are a lead indicator for church growth 40% of online church viewers are first-time visitors The broadcast section is typically the smallest part of AV budgets Audio quality matters more than video quality for streaming Guest/Host Info Hosts: Jake Gosselin and Matt Woltjer from Churchfront Timestamps 0:00 Introduction: The Unstuck Group Q3 2025 Report Overview 1:11 76% of Churches Now Offer Only Modern/Contemporary Worship 3:52 Declining Churches Juggle Multiple Worship Styles 6:07 Living in the Tension: Traditional vs. Contemporary 7:42 Excellence in Worship - Both Styles Can Work 10:12 Vision is Essential - Don't Lead What You Don't Believe In 12:02 Your Space Dictates Your Style Limitations 14:09 Contemporary Worship = More Online Engagement 15:51 96% of Churches Now Offer Online Services 17:01 The Cost of Broadcasting Has Decreased Dramatically 19:36 Online Streaming Doesn't Hurt In-Person Attendance 20:47 Online Views as a Lead Indicator for Growth 22:50 40% of Online Viewers are First-Time Visitors 23:07 Audio First - The Key to Quality Streaming Resources Mentioned The Unstuck Group Q3 2025 Report ChurchTechToday Gitnux First Baptist Melbourne (traditional excellence example) Elevation Church (contemporary excellence example) Rock Harbor Church (historical building renovation example) Discussion Questions for Church Leaders Does your church currently offer multiple worship styles? What challenges has that created? How can your church pursue unity while honoring different generational preferences? If you're not currently streaming, what barriers are holding you back? How can you improve your online presence as a "front door" for visitors? Action Steps Review your church's online metrics - are views increasing or decreasing? Assess whether multiple worship styles are helping or hindering unity Evaluate your streaming setup - is audio quality your top priority? Consider how your building design supports or limits your worship style goals Social Media Pull Quotes "Churches trying to maintain multiple worship styles are much more likely to be declining. It's not about one style being better—it's about strategic leadership." - Jake & Matt "96% of churches now stream online, and here's the kicker: online views are a lead indicator for growth. If your views are increasing, you're likely a growing church." - Jake & Matt "People will watch bad video with good audio, but they won't watch bad audio with good video. Audio first, always." - Matt Woltjer "Your online stream isn't competing with in-person attendance—it's your front door. 40% of online viewers are first-time visitors researching your church." - Jake Gosselin "The worship wars are over. Now it's time to be one church with one vision, not two churches meeting in the same building." - Jake & Matt Episode Tags #ChurchGrowth #WorshipStyle #LiveStreaming #ChurchTechnology #TheUnstuckGroup #ContemporaryWorship #TraditionalWorship #ChurchAV #OnlineChurch #ChurchLeadership Production Notes Include link to The Unstuck Group report in description Add affiliate disclosure if applicable Consider creating supplementary graphics showing the key statistics Potential follow-up: Interview with The Unstuck Group team about their methodology

El pastor Steven nos da tres cosas para recordar cuando la vida se pone difícil. El enemigo quiere mantenernos dando vueltas en el desierto, pero Dios nos hará salir mientras aprendemos a repetir lo que nos lleva a la victoria.Si acabas de tomar una decisión por Cristo, responde AQUÍ: http://ele.vc/tIepfrReferencias bíblicas:Salmo 114, versículos 5-8Mateo 4, versículos 1-4, 11Hebreos 4, versículos 14-16Números 13, versículos 30-33Mateo 3, versículos 16-17

«Dios, ¿puedes sacarme de esto?» Es una oración que todos hemos hecho. Pero, ¿y si la respuesta de Dios no es escapar, sino perseverar? ¿Y si su rescate llega un día a la vez? Este mensaje te ayudará a reconocer la provisión fiel de Dios en cada temporada y a aprender a confiar en su mano mientras te guía en medio de todo.Referencias bíblicas:Lucas 11, versículos 1-4Éxodo 16, versículos 2-4Hechos 16, versículo 25

A veces la batalla en tu mente es la prueba de que Dios está tratando de hacer algo grande en tu corazón. Lo que ves no es la imagen completa de lo que Dios tiene para ti. Cuando le entregas a Dios tus planes, le das espacio a Su propósito.Referencias Bíblicas:1 Crónicas 28, versículos 2-6, 19Proverbios 19, versículo 211 Samuel 16, versículos 6-71 Samuel 17, versículo 47Romanos 8, versículo 28

Throughout the conversation, I elucidate the transformative experiences that shaped my musical and spiritual identity, particularly during a pivotal period in my life when I relocated to Dubai to pursue music.

Something really disconcerting occurred to me: One can be an intentional Satanist, or an unintentional Satanist. Here's how…Episode Links:Satanists are planning to hold a Black Mass at the Kansas State Capitol during the lead-up to Easter, openly promoting it as an opportunity to blaspheme Christ and worship Satan. The event is organized by "Jaee Frazee," who uses "he/they" pronouns and wears face makeup featuring upside-down crosses. Frazee's profile photo bears the caption, "Worship thyself, you are your own God.
