In this episode of The Jaime Luce Podcast, we explore the life of Gideon and how God transforms fear into courage, not by changing our circumstances first, but by realigning our hearts. You'll learn how God often asks us to take the first step afraid, before we feel qualified or equipped. Jaime dives deep into: - How fear reveals what you truly believe - Why obedience sometimes looks foolish at first - God's “pre-strategy” for victory (before the battle ever begins) - What pruning looks like in a faith journey - The connection between idolatry, fear, and spiritual authority If you've been waiting for clarity before stepping out in faith, this episode is for you. Where to dive in: (0:00:08) - God's Pre-Battle Strategy and Wisdom (0:12:56) - Overcoming Fear and Trusting God (0:28:52) - Renewing Faith Through Obedience and Pruning (0:40:44) - Embracing God's Strategy and Confidence About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys. She was trapped in day-to-day stress and couldn't see a way forward. But how she started is not how she finished!

Intro:Good morning! We're navigating a tough week, having just hosted a funeral for Drew Hall, deeply loved in our community, who passed away in a climbing accident. Our hearts are with his wife and daughters. Next week, our Exeter church family, who we just prayed off, joins us for baptisms – this is the life of the church: joy and sorrow, but Jesus is always with us. Today, we delve into listening, a profound theme from Proverbs.Scripture References: Proverbs 2:1-5, Proverbs 5:1-2, Proverbs 22:17, Proverbs 13:1, Proverbs 15:31-32, Proverbs 4:20, Proverbs 5:1, Genesis 1, Psalm 33:6, Deuteronomy 6, Genesis 21:17, Proverbs 15:29, Luke 24:25-32Key Points:God Is Always Speaking, Calling Us to Listen:Proverbs emphasizes God's constant communication, urging us to be attentive listeners.The Seattle School of Theology's daily "chime" ritual reminds students their work is done in the presence of a living, speaking God.Listening for Wisdom and Instruction:Proverbs consistently calls us to listen for knowledge and understanding (Proverbs 2:1-5, 5:1-2, 22:17).It also stresses receiving instruction and discipline (Proverbs 13:1, 15:31-32). Embracing God's loving discipline transforms us.Proverbs' urgent tone (e.g., Proverbs 4:20, 5:1) highlights the gravity of listening to God's words. It's the single most important thing we can learn.Listening in God's Grand Story:Creation: From Genesis 1 ("Let there be light"), God speaks first. Our design is to listen and respond. Keith Anderson notes God's voice in creation is the first evidence of His love. Intentional listening means emptying our agenda, being curious, and present. Grab a "Five Ways to Practice Listening" card at the connect table!Old Testament (Shema): Deuteronomy 6 commands, "Listen, O Israel... love the Lord your God." Listening precedes loving. God's listening (e.g., Hagar and Ishmael in Genesis 21:17) isn't for His knowing, but to express His love, care, and that we are known (Proverbs 15:29). What He hears is never a barrier to His love.Jesus' Incarnation: Jesus often said, "Let anyone who has ears hear." The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:25-32) shows disciples, disillusioned by Christ's crucifixion, unknowingly walking with Jesus. As He spoke, their hearts "burned." Encountering Jesus opens our ears and hearts to God's voice. Proximity to Jesus happens in simple, earthy ways (walking, sharing a meal, being with companions).The Problem is Connection, Not God's Speaking:Like the story of Pete Gregg unknowingly broadcasting his podcast, God is always speaking. The problem is often our connection.Busyness, disappointment, a cold heart, or distance from Jesus can hinder our listening. Our job is to approach God with intentionality, love, and closeness to Jesus.Conclusion:Our ability to listen to God is foundational. From creation to Jesus, God's story shows He actively speaks and listens out of love. This security allows us to confidently listen to Him.Call to Action:As we come to the table, remember Christ's presence bridges all distance. If your heart feels cold, or you need to know God hears you, pray with us. We'll worship and take communion, remembering Jesus, who perfectly embodied listening and drew close to us, offering new life. Be responsive to prayer; we want to connect you to Jesus.

Today, we're reminded of the powerful truth of Emmanuel - God with us. This concept, rooted in Isaiah 7:14, isn't just a Christmas message, but a daily reality for believers. We explored how God's presence was visibly manifested throughout the Old Testament - in divine prosperity, miraculous protection, and supernatural guidance. From Joseph's success even in prison to the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, these stories showcase God's faithfulness. But here's the exciting part: if the Old Testament was glorious, how much more blessed are we in the New Testament era? We have Emmanuel, God's Son, with us always. This realisation should transform every aspect of our lives, including our finances. When we truly grasp that the Creator of the universe is with us, victory in all areas becomes possible. Let's challenge ourselves: Are we living as if God is truly with us? Our prosperity - spiritual, physical, and mental - can be evidence of walking in God's will and presence. Let's embrace this truth and watch how it changes our perspective and our lives.

The discussion centers on understanding the source of hatred and division as external to God's nature and the necessity of prayer and unity in overcoming these adversaries. It stresses the importance of rightly interpreting biblical prophecy, especially concerning Israel, and personal submission to God to receive His grace and triumph over spiritual enemies.True hatred and division come from external enemies, not God who made humans in His imagePrayer and unity are vital to overcome spiritual adversaries and challengesSpecific date 1225 mentioned as a symbol of conflict and need for reconciliationBiblical prophecy highlights Satan and his angels opposing God, working to divide and deceiveImportance of correct interpretation of prophecy and personal submission to experience God's graceProphecy concerning Israel plays a key role in spiritual warfareObedience to God's word is essential to overcome spiritual enemiesKey Scriptures: Genesis 1 31, Romans 12 17, Ephesians 6 12, 2 Corinthians 10 4, Isaiah 59 1, Psalm 109 6, 1 John 4 20, Revelation 12 9, Matthew 6 33

Welcome to the School of Ministry podcast where we dive into an enlightening exploration of impartiality as depicted in the Bible. Delving into James chapter 2, (remastered) we discover how God's unbiased nature is demonstrated through scriptures, urging us to examine our own tendencies towards partiality. With reflections from both the Old and New Testaments, this episode highlights the timeless truths of God's character and challenges us to live out a genuine, impartial faith. Through personal anecdotes and biblical lessons, listeners are encouraged to see others through God's eyes, recognizing each person's value to our Lord, far beyond societal distinctions.

From fear to victory, from hiding to leading... Gideon's story is proof that God doesn't need the qualified, just the willing. In this powerful episode, Jaime Luce unpacks the spiritual truths behind Gideon's unlikely rise from self-doubt to divine deliverance. Learn how God's strategy didn't require more power or people—but obedience, surrender, and the breaking of what was on the outside to reveal the light within. If you've ever felt unqualified, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this message will remind you: you are the vessel, and your “yes” is enough.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we gather each day to journey through the Scriptures and seek the heart of God. In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through Isaiah chapters 8–10, and Hebrews chapter 8, drawing our attention to God's enduring presence, faithfulness, and the promise of a new covenant. We reflect on moments of warning, prophecy, and hope—witnessing both judgment and the dawn of redemption through the coming of a great light. As we move from the ancient struggles of Israel to the beautiful declaration in Hebrews that we have a High Priest in Jesus, Hunter encourages us to see Christ as the true and ultimate point of it all: the One who writes God's laws upon our hearts and invites us into the joy and freedom of life with Him. Join us for scripture, prayer, and a reminder that you are, without a doubt, deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He is the main point. When we look back over the pages of Scripture and consider the prophets, the priests, the kings, all the people and stories—the point to which all of this leads is Jesus. The book of Hebrews, reflecting on all that has come before, tells us plainly: we have a High Priest who is seated in the place of honor at the right hand of the Father. And what's more, this High Priest is not just one who offers sacrifices out of obligation, like those before Him, but one who Himself is the offering—the One who mediates a new covenant, a better covenant, grounded in better promises. What sets Jesus apart is not just what He's done, but what He continues to do. He is our advocate before the Father. The old ways—the law, the sacrifices, the external signs—pointed toward something greater. And now, through Him, God has written His laws not on tablets of stone, but on our very minds and hearts. We are invited not into a distant, law-based relationship, but into participation with Christ Himself—sharing in His kingdom and in His life. Jesus does more than deliver us from guilt and shame; He unshackles us from the power of death and darkness. He gives us, not a set of external rules, but Himself. All the heroes and prophets of Scripture, all the signs and shadows, are fulfilled in Him. The main point, then, is not a doctrine or even a set of principles, but a Person. Jesus. And in His light, we find true life. That is the prayer I have for my own heart today: that I would live in the reality of Christ—the true center and meaning of my story. It's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife and our children, and it's the prayer I have for you. Let us walk this day in the light of Jesus, our High Priest, our Advocate, the One who is the main point of it all. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Almighty and ever loving God, you have brought us to the light of a new morning. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may walk this day in peace. Guard our steps from temptation. Shield us from the weight of fear and shame, and lead us deeper into the joy of your presence through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Christ, light of the nations, shine in every place where shadows dwell. Call the scattered home, heal the wounds of division and gather all people into the communion of your grace. May the knowledge of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Amen. And now, Lord, make my hands ready for mercy. Make my eyes quick to see the hurting, my ears open to the cry of the lonely, and my feet swift to bring good news. Let me seek to bless, not to be noticed, to serve, not to be praised, to forgive, not to hold back. For in your way is life, in your mercy is healing, and in your love is the peace this world cannot give. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, host Hunter invites us to journey through the pages of Scripture together on this fifth day of July. We'll read from Hosea chapters 2–5 and Hebrews chapter 2, encountering stirring images of God's relentless love and the cost of redemption. As we hear about God's heartbroken response to Israel's waywardness and Hosea's call to buy back his unfaithful wife, we're reminded of the ultimate price that God has paid for our freedom through Christ. Hunter unpacks these powerful passages, encouraging us to embrace the love, hope, and new life God offers, and wraps up with a time of prayer and reflection. Whether you're a regular or new to the podcast, this episode will point your heart toward the One who truly loves you and holds the words of life. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We've been bought back. We've been fought for, and he has won. Hosea paints a picture for us of what our rebellion and turning away from God looks like. He uses strong language—comparing that rebellion to the anguish of a spouse betrayed. But the story doesn't end with judgment or separation. Hosea is called to do something remarkable: to love again, to return to his unfaithful spouse, to go and buy her back. Hosea 3:2 says, “So I bought her back…” Hosea had to pay a price to reclaim what was lost, to see reconciliation where rejection made sense. But someone far greater than Hosea has bought us back. Jesus has paid the ultimate price for us—his own blood. God, in Christ, lowered himself, put on flesh, and entered our story. He suffered and died, breaking the power of the devil, the power of fear, death, and the grave. By dying, he paid the price for our freedom—the freedom to live, to hope, to love, to be made new. Because of that love, and because of that sacrifice, we are no longer slaves to our rebellion or shame. We are no longer just people who receive an example to follow—we receive his Spirit to live within us. The very love that won us back now lives in us and enables us, not only to imitate, but to participate in God's love and life. We are enabled to love, to live, to die to ourselves, and to rise to newness of life with Christ. That's my prayer for myself today—that I will know this freedom and love well, that I will remember the price that was paid, and live in the joy of the One who is with me now. That is my prayer for my own soul, for my family, my wife, my daughters and my son. And that is my prayer for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Gracious and everlasting God, you have brought us through the shadow of night into the promise of a new day. You go before us with your mercy, sustain us by your grace and keep us from wandering paths of fear or pride. Let every word we speak and every step we take be formed by the goodness of Christ. O Lord, gather your people far and near. May every tribe and tongue come to know your peace. Let justice roll like a river and healing flow where there has been division. Pour out your spirit upon all flesh and bring us closer to the day when your kingdom comes in fullness through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

In this episode, I'm opening up about something we all wrestle with—fear. I dive into the story of Gideon and how much his journey reminds me of my own. From hiding in the winepress to stepping out in faith, Gideon's transformation shows us what's possible when we say yes to God, even when we feel unqualified. I'll also share some personal moments—like how I started this very podcast—despite feeling completely unequipped. God doesn't wait for us to feel ready. He calls us, clothes us with His Spirit, and asks for our obedience. That's where the real transformation begins. In This Episode, I Talk About: What Gideon's story teaches us about fear, faith, and obedienceWhy God often calls us while we're still feeling unqualifiedHow fear disguises itself in ways we may not recognizeMy personal testimony of stepping out to start this podcastThe power of being clothed in the Spirit and walking in God's authorityHow to shift your perspective from circumstance to spiritual truth Where to dive in: (0:00:09) - Facing Fear (0:07:58) - Finding Hope in the Midst (0:23:36) - Discovering Strength in Times of Fear (0:33:23) - Embracing God's Authority and Power (0:49:20) - Clothed in God's Spirit and Power Key Scriptures: Judges 6Zechariah 4:6Romans 10:17Luke 24:49 About your host: Jaime Luce' testimony has daunting personal mountains and treacherous financial valleys.

Today's devotion in prayer is centered on this topic that everything in your life is going to be okay. How can I say that confidently? Because the Word of God declares this in second Corinthians chapter one, verse ten. We've been discussing how to get through trials, how to overcome trials and suffering. And in our first lesson, we went over that God permit trials and suffering in your life. That simply means that God allowed these things to happen. Now why would God allow them to happen? The Bible says so that you can comfort others. God will comfort you in the midst of trials so that you may know how to comfort others. And in our last episode, we talked about that God not only permit trials to happen in your life, but he also empowers us to bear trials. God will bring us to the end of ourselves so that we can bear trials..............

No Fatherhood, No Manhood: Embracing God's Design for Fatherhood - Romans 8:14-17 - Thomas Easterling

He speaks to you with loving words. He knows your deepest dreams. The suitor I'm talking about is God, and His love for you exceeds anything imaginable.

Do you find it hard to believe that God loves you? Why would He go to such great lengths, sending His Son to the cross to show you how much you mean to Him?

Don't Be Scared. Don't Run. Just Walk. In this passionate and deeply personal message, Pastor Jamal Alexander speaks to the heart of every man and woman in the fight of their life—walking through darkness, struggling with purpose, and tempted to give up. With clarity, compassion, and conviction, he reminds us that darkness is not the end of the story—it's the beginning of creation, the stage of redemption, and the proving ground of purpose.

Jesus said those who know the Son would also know the Father. How much time and effort do you spend getting to know Christ?

Happy Memorial Day Monday! I wish today's episode was cute and fun, but it's definitely not lol. This episode is one of the most vulnerable I've ever recorded because it's the story of my life. After leaving a long-term relationship, I found myself ultimately getting pregnant just 2 months into meeting my now husband. Though that chapter of my life now includes love, marriage, and a beautiful baby boy, it also brought deep guilt, shame, and questions I wasn't prepared to face. In today's episode, I'm sharing how I wrestled with the weight of sexual sin, how shame tried to steal my joy, and what it's looked like to truly repent and allow God to restore me. I reflect on the dangers of taking your life into your own hands and the struggle to forgive yourself while also believing that God forgives you too. All in all, I want this episode to be a reminder that you are not defined by your past. There is redemption on the other side of repentance. And God still writes beautiful stories from broken pieces. I pray this episode reminds you that grace still reaches for you - even in your mistakes. FOLLOW US: @girlsirlpod@mariahclayton_Don't forget to leave a 5-star rating! 

Oscar and Kim Zember have an honest conversation about how the Church often mishandles sexual sin—treating some sins as worse than others—and how this mindset drives people away from mercy. Kim shares her personal journey of faith and freedom, challenging listeners to stop ranking sins and start recognizing how fiercely Jesus is pursuing their hearts. We would love it if you could leave a written review on Apple and share with your friends! Editing provided by Forte Catholic (https://www.fortecatholic.com/)

Embracing God's Best | Nathan Herndon | 05.18.25 by ProvidenceCommunityChurch

The transgender movement is based on a destructive ideology that has affected every adult and minor in every sector of American society. Our churches and communities need to understand how to address the spiritual and psychological crisis behind gender ideology. Join us as Jennifer Bauwens, a trauma therapist and researcher, and Walt Heyer, who previously identified as a woman discuss the deadly ideology of ‘transgenderism’. Discover the origins of the gender movement, hear about the psychological research used to give the appearance that the practices are evidence-based, and most importantly, how to both protect someone struggling with identity confusion and how to support someone who wants to come back to God’s design for their life after identifying as transgender.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
