Anna and Matt encourage parents to build one simple but powerful habit in their homes: regular Bible reading. Research shows that the single biggest predictor of long-term vibrant faith in kids is whether they regularly read the Bible while growing up—and the good news is, it doesn't have to be complicated. A recent Lifeway study found: Only 29% of kids in Christian households regularly read their Bible. The spiritual activity with the greatest long-term impact on faith was consistent Bible reading. Here are simple ways to build a Bible-reading rhythm in your home:

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Genesis 37–41 and step into the story of Joseph, a story that moves from the pit, to the palace, to the prison, and reminds us that God is present in every season. What begins with favoritism, jealousy, and a coat of many colors quickly turns into betrayal and a seemingly empty pit. Yet over and over again, scripture repeats the same steady promise: the Lord was with Joseph. In slavery, in false accusation, in forgotten years in prison, God was still writing the story, preparing, positioning, and prospering him in ways Joseph could not yet see. This episode invites us to consider our own pits and prisons and ask where the Lord might already be at work. Because the promise was never that we would avoid hard seasons, but that He would be with us through them, redeeming the story in His time.

Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the real reason children walk on their toes — and why it has nothing to do with tight muscles. In this episode, he explains how toe walking is a signal of deeper nervous system dysfunction rooted in the brainstem and neurospinal system, not the feet. Dr. Tony walks parents through the key neurological concepts behind toe walking, why conventional treatments miss the mark, and how Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care addresses the root cause. He also offers honest, reassuring guidance for parents of older children who are still toe-walking — reminding them that growth spurts, stress, and time are all part of the healing journey.----Links & Resources:Sign up for the FREE LIVE March 5th Kick the Sick Webinar: www.thepxdocs.com/kick-the-sickArticle: What is Subluxation?Article: What is Proprioception?-----Key Topics & Timestamps00:05 What you've been told about toe walking that isn't true00:08 The four neurological root causes: subluxation, proprioception, whole body apraxia, and vestibular dysfunction00:16 The wifi router analogy: sympathetic dominance, the posterior chain, and compensated gait00:19 The nervous system bucket: how stress, trauma, and growth fill it up00:25 Why Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care works when everything else hasn't00:33 What actually changes in the body when nervous system regulation improves00:34 Encouragement for parents of kids still toe walking — and what to do next-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Living Water: The Woman at the Well – John 4:1–26 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane walk through John 4:1–26, the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. What begins as a simple conversation about water becomes a life-changing revelation about worship, identity, and living water that never runs dry. Together, they explore how Jesus meets us in unexpected places, crosses cultural and personal barriers, and speaks directly to our deepest thirst. This passage reminds us that no past is too complicated, no question too bold, and no heart too far for the transforming presence of Christ. If you've ever felt unseen, unqualified, or spiritually dry—this conversation is for you. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Have you ever experienced a time when everything, and I do mean everything, seemed to be a battle? A time when you have faced all the things, all at once. Things like resistance in relationships, work, health, finances, technology, etc?  It's at these times we need to call up the Name of God, Jehovah Sabaoth.  This name of God means:  The Lord of Hosts, The Lord of Armies (heavenly and earthly). Sabaoth refers to vast multitudes, including human armies, angelic forces, and the heavenly bodies (stars). This name of God shows us how The Lord of the Host of heaven will always fulfill His purposes, even when the hosts of His earthly people fail.

For more information and support, join us at https://thecirsgroup.com Jacie and Barbara discuss how CIRS commonly affects body weight: often causing weight gain and resistance to fat loss, though some people experience extreme weight loss. They'll dig into why weight changes are driven by chronic, multi-system inflammation from biotoxin exposure (such as mold or Lyme), impacting hormones, metabolism, detox pathways, the brain, and the nervous system. It's not simply “calories in, calories out,” and listeners are encouraged to stop blaming themselves. Key contributors to weight gain include elevated cortisol, hormone disruption (leptin resistance, insulin resistance, altered thyroid signaling even with normal labs, and sex hormone imbalance), nervous system stuck in survival mode, why calorie restriction can reinforce danger signals, and how toxin storage in fat tissue can slow fat loss during detox. They emphasize supportive strategies aligned with the Shoemaker protocol: reduce exposure, calm inflammation, use binders and support detox (including daily bowel movements, sleep, gentle movement, sweating, and lymphatic support), prioritize blood sugar stability, eat adequate protein, sleep, and nervous system regulation. They caution that trying harder through calorie restriction, excessive cardio, and weight cycling can worsen stress signals, and raise concerns about GLP-1s. Focus on healing first: weight often shifts as a side effect of recovery.

Listen today as Pastor Scallions shares the importance of "A Word of Encouragement."

Prayer is the believer's primary weapon and constant lifeline, not a last resort but a first response. It reveals real faith in moments of pressure and should become second nature through ongoing conversation with God and specific requests. Scripture shows that bold, persistent prayer aligns us with God's provision and brings peace, while praying for others strengthens and carries the whole church. Prayer also sharpens spiritual awareness, helping believers see clearly, hear God's direction, and recognize His movement. It requires humility and dependence, reminding us that true power does not come from human effort but from reliance on God. Prayer is both the starting point and sustaining force of the Christian life, positioning us to participate in what only God can accomplish.
