The Robertson family welcomes another new baby as John Luke and Christian celebrate becoming uncles again, and the guys remark on the growing number of grandkids filling up the family compound. From there, Al, Zach, Christian, and John Luke turn to Homer's “The Odyssey” and the surprisingly modern warnings buried inside its stories of pride, pleasure, distrust, and temptation. They connect Odysseus' downfall to today's struggles with pornography, drug addiction, doomscrolling, and the constant pull of quick dopamine. The guys also look at how Scripture gives a fuller answer to the moral truths Homer recognized, and why faith, community, and Christ matter when it comes to breaking those cycles. In this episode: Romans 1; Romans 2:14-16; Genesis 6; Genesis 11; Ephesians 4:17-32; Titus 1:10-13; Genesis 1:28; Genesis 9 Today's conversation is about Lesson 5 & 6 of The Odyssey taught by Hillsdale Professor Dr. Benedict Whalen. Take the course with us at no cost to you!  More about The Odyssey: The Odyssey tells the tale of the cunning and crafty hero of the Trojan War on his journey home. After ten years of war, Odysseus faces another ten years of fantastic temptations, deadly monsters, treacherous seas, and impious men. Meanwhile, Ithaca is threatened by suitors who plague his wife and plunder his wealth. When Odysseus reaches home, he must slay the suitors, test the loyalty of his friends and family, and restore order to his marriage and his kingdom. Join Dr. Benedict Whalen as he explores themes of love, marriage, kingship, duty, and piety. Encounter Homer's epic, which displays the full human experience. In a world of uncertainty, Odysseus charts a path towards peace through perseverance, prudence, and justice.  Join Odysseus on his fantastic journey home from Troy in Homer's unrivaled story.

Wisdom of Sirach 43:1-44:18; Psalm 77:38·55; Proverbs 16:16·20; Ephesians 4:1·24

If a foundation is bad, the building will collapse. Therefore, one must ask, “What is the foundation of the church?” By the grace of God, the church has a stable foundation in the apostles and prophets, with Christ as the chief cornerstone. In this sermon on the foundation of the church from Ephesians 2:20–22 titled “The Only Foundation,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches on the nature and importance of that foundation. He argues that the church is a miracle. Paul argues that the unthinkable has happened: Jews and Gentiles are brought together in Christ. The foundation of the church is found in two statements: 1) “the apostle and prophets,” and 2) “Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone” (verse 20). According to Dr. Lloyd-Jones, the first is referring to the people themselves, but also the doctrines that they set forth. The second refers to Jesus and means that everything is held together by Him. Dr. Lloyd-Jones argues that nothing can be added to or taken away from that foundation and there can be no unity apart from this foundation. One cannot be a Christian if they deny the person and work of Christ. Therefore, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones challenges the listener to question what they believe about Jesus, if they know Him, and if they are in Him.

As the days grow shorter and seasons become darker, it can be easy to feel discouraged by the loss of light. But John 8:12 reminds us that Jesus is the light of the world—a light that does not fade, even when our circumstances feel dark. While physical darkness can affect our mood and energy, spiritual darkness can also leave us feeling discouraged, uncertain, or distant from hope. Jesus offers a light that reaches beyond our circumstances and gives us lasting hope and life. Jesus’ declaration that He is the light of the world points to His identity as God and His victory over sin and darkness. Through Christ, we are no longer bound to darkness but are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as children of light. Even when we walk through difficult seasons, we can trust that darkness will not have the final word. God’s goodness remains constant, His presence does not fade, and His light continues to shine. Rather than simply waiting for a difficult season to pass, we can reflect Christ’s light through our actions, share the hope we have in Him, and encourage others who may be walking through their own season of darkness. Highlights Why shorter days and physical darkness can affect our emotions and sense of motivation What Jesus meant when He declared, “I am the light of the world” How Jesus’ identity connects to God’s declaration of “I AM” in Exodus 3 Why Christ’s light continues to shine even during difficult and dark seasons How Jesus’ work on the cross frees us from the darkness of sin What it means to live as children of light and let our faith shine before others Encouragement to remember that difficult seasons do not last forever and God’s goodness never fades Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: When the Days Grow Shorter, but God’s Goodness Does Not By: Laura Bailey Bible Reading: When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” - John 8:12 NIV Every year around this time, my husband goes into a funk. He’s an outdoor guy, and since his job has him chained to a desk for roughly 10 hours a day, he covets the extra sunshine-filled days of summer. As the days grow shorter, he struggles to find joy in the diminishing hours of light. I get where he’s coming from; there are a lot of people who feel that way. I only made it one winter living in Montreal, where the sun didn’t show up till mid-morning and started setting early afternoon. I struggled with the lack of light in my life, so I went to see a counselor who recommended I invest in a light box. If you are not familiar with a light box, it is literally just that— a box with a light in it. For those who suffer from the seasonal blues, scientists have found that a few minutes in a light box can have a major effect on mood. It’s pretty wild to think about how light, or the lack thereof, can affect our moods, mental health, physical drive, and various other factors of motivation. Scripture speaks often of light and darkness. Jesus tells us in John 8:12 that, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” In the book of John, Jesus makes 7 “I am” statements, which refer to the conversation Moses has with God in Exodus: Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you’” (Exodus 3:13-14). God doesn’t need further explanation; He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and end; He has always existed. The same is true for Jesus, since He is part of the Trinity and God in human form; He, too, can say, “I am who I am.” During the time Jesus was teaching, light would have been a precious commodity; you didn’t flip a switch; it took work to keep the light going. So, for the original audience, hearing of a light that never dims or goes out would have been a foreign concept. Yet Jesus tells us that He is a light that never fades and shines into the darkness, and provides life. Jesus Christ’s work on the cross delivers us from the darkness; it releases us from the chains of sin and sets us free. And that’s not all! Those of us in Christ now have the power of the Holy Spirit; the same power that raised Jesus from the grave lives in us (Romans 8:11). So what should we do with this power? We let our light shine before men, so that our good deeds can glorify our Father in Heaven (Matthew 5:16).We boldly share the light in our lives and the eternal hope we have in Jesus Christ (Psalm 27:1).We walk as children of the light, those who are called according to God’s purpose to proclaim His wondrous works (Ephesians 5:8). While we have the light of Christ in our lives, there will be times when we experience seasons that feel very dark. If you are in one of those seasons, let me encourage you, as I do my husband, that it will not last forever. One day, the sun’s presence will linger longer, and one day the light will overtake the darkness. Stay encouraged; the days may grow shorter, but God’s goodness does not. Intersecting Faith &Life:If you struggle with the winter blues, take some time today to make a plan to incorporate both spiritual and physical light into your life.Further Reading: What are all the “I AM” Statements?

Ephesians 6:18-24 Luke 6:17-23

Why do other people's opinions affect me so much when I know my identity is in Christ?You know God loves you. You know your identity is in Christ. But then your husband is frustrated, your adult child questions a decision, or someone you care about seems disappointed in you—and suddenly you're questioning yourself.In the first episode of the Why Don't I Feel Secure? series, Jill explores why there can be such a gap between what we know about our identity in Christ and what we experience in our relationships. Looking at Adam and Eve's response to shame in Genesis and our adoption in Christ in Ephesians 1, she asks a question that gets underneath our need for approval, reassurance, and understanding: Who gets to tell me who I am?This episode will help you notice the places where you may be asking another person to answer a question God has already answered—and begin learning to live from what your Father has already said is true.In This Episode• Why another person's mood, criticism, or opinion can affect your peace so quickly • The connection between shame, hiding, and our search for approval • What God's question, “Who told you?” reveals about the voices we believe • Why good things like marriage, family, and approval cannot carry the weight of our identity • What adoption in Christ tells us about where real security comes from • How to notice when you're looking outward for reassurance before turning toward GodKey Takeaways• Knowing your identity is in Christ and living from that identity are not always the same thing. • Other people's opinions can become verdicts when we give them authority to tell us who we are. • Good relationships are gifts, but they cannot provide the security only God can give. • Your emotions can reveal what feels threatened and where you may be looking for reassurance. • Before anyone else gets a vote, your Father has already spoken over who you are in Christ.Series NoteThis is the first episode in the four-part Why Don't I Feel Secure? series. Throughout the series, we'll explore identity, disappointment, emotional reactivity, and what it looks like to live from a secure foundation in Christ.Keywords• identity in Christ • Christian women and insecurity • seeking approval from others • Christian marriage and emotional security • people pleasing and faith • biblical identity for womenFREE: The 4 Mindset Shifts for a Happier MarriageReady to stop waiting for your husband to change and start focusing on how you want to show up in your marriage?

On the In The Room podcast, Reed, Pastor Tim, and Chappy Reeves break down Pastor Troy's core values message “Saved People Serve People,” emphasizing that we aren't saved by serving, we're saved for serving. Using Matthew 20:28 and Ephesians 2:8–10, they talk about following the example of Jesus, looking for opportunities to serve, and remembering that you can't do everything, but you can do something. They explore the story of Tabitha in Acts 9:36–42 and how her simple acts of kindness left a lasting impact, reminding us that God sees the things we do even when no one else does. They also discuss the danger of keeping score in relationships, why serving starts at home, and what it looks like to serve without expecting something in return. Through Jesus washing the disciples' feet in John 13, they unpack the truth that before we can truly serve Jesus, we first have to let Him serve us, receiving His grace, forgiveness, and mercy.

A driver unwilling to wait a few minutes for a train to pass tried to race across the tracks and did not make it. Those few minutes cost him his life. It is a stark and sobering picture, but it opens a question worth sitting with: how seriously do we take the minutes we are given? We tend to think that five minutes here and ten minutes there are too small to matter. But five becomes ten, ten becomes twenty, and before long a habit has formed — and a habit becomes a lifestyle. Ephesians 5:15-16 calls us to be very careful how we live, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. That is not a call to frantic productivity or the elimination of rest. God did not create us to labor without ceasing, and Solomon reminds us in Ecclesiastes 3 that there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. A guilt-free nap can be time well spent. The point is not that every minute must be filled with output — it is that every minute belongs to God and is a gift from Him, deserving of intentional stewardship. The minutes we invest in our relationship with God, our marriages, our children, and our obedience to His promptings are never wasted. And the moments when we ignore His leading — even by just a few minutes — can carry consequences we did not anticipate. Our minutes matter to God. And because they matter to Him, they should matter to us. Today's Bible Verse "Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."— Ephesians 5:15-16, NIV Ponder Today Minutes matter more than we realize — and small habits compound over time. Five minutes spent one way becomes ten, then twenty, then a lifestyle. What we do with our smallest units of time shapes who we are becoming over the long run. Faithful stewardship of time includes rest, not just productivity. God did not design us to labor without ceasing. A nap, a quiet moment, a pause in the day — these are not wastes of time when received as gifts from the One who ordained rest as part of His design. Our relationship with God suffers when we fail to invest time in it. Just as a marriage grows distant when couples stop making time for each other, our walk with God weakens when we crowd out the minutes that belong to Him. Obedience sometimes comes down to a matter of minutes. Lot's wife, a canceled flight to Haiti, a split-second decision at a railroad crossing — history, both sacred and ordinary, is full of moments where a few minutes of faithfulness or impatience changed everything. Every minute is a gift from God and belongs to Him. That is not a burden — it is a perspective shift. When we hold our time as something entrusted to us rather than owned by us, the way we spend it changes. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, because every minute is precious and every one of them is a gift from You, may we learn to mind our minutes and make the most of every one we have, for Your glory and honor. In Your precious name, Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom and encouragement delivered right to your inbox.

In his continued exposition of the analogies that are used for the church, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones comes to what he views as the deepest analogy of them all—a temple of God. In this sermon on building the temple of God from Ephesians 2:20–22 titled “A Habitation of God,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones points to the two themes of unity and privilege. Unity can be seen by the closeness and necessity of each brick of a building. Each brick can be different, but if one begins to take away bricks, the building will start to fall apart. The privilege of the church can be seen by the nearness to God. “God dwells within her” and this is the greatest privilege. Also, this is a temple being built by God, not by people, and it is a vital building. He exhorts grabbing hold of the nature of the church because a false view leads, and has lead, to issues in the church.

Ephesians 5:33-6:9 Luke 6:12-19

Ephesians 6:18 tells us to pray at all times with all kinds of prayer for all people. So, to do this, we have to learn to pray with our eyes open, wherever we are. In her book, Praying with Eyes Wide Open, Sherry Harney says, “When we pray with our eyes wide open, our time with God is limitless.”[1] God invites us to be with him, consciously aware of his presence, at all times, and that means whether we are in a quiet place alone, standing in line at the grocery store, driving to work, or singing praise songs at church, we are able to directly and personally connect with God. And God delights in our presence. Zephaniah 3:17 says: The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing. Don't you love that thought—the God of the universe rejoices over you and takes great delight in you? So, when you choose to be in his presence throughout your day—verbally or silently—he's very pleased. Let me give you some examples of ways you can pray at all times with your eyes wide open. While you are at work, take those short opportunities you have for prayer. When you walk down the hall, pray for the people you work with. When you're sitting in a meeting, pray for those in authority over you. When you're talking to a customer or client, send up a silent prayer for wisdom and care for that person. Here are some other suggestions. When you watch or listen to the news, most of which is not good, pray for those in the news. For example, the news is usually full of all kinds of tragedies. Just stop and pray for the people involved. Instead of griping about our government leaders pray for them even as you listen to the news, with your eyes open, silently or out loud, if you can. If you don't like the way your organization is headed, or you're upset at something your boss has done or said, or some new policy seems wrong to you, instead of participating in the office gossip, just pray about it as you perform your work. If you're concerned about a situation at your church, maybe about something the leadership is doing, just pray about it every time it comes to your mind. That's a lot more helpful than criticizing and complaining, don't you think? Praying at all times is not mission impossible. It is totally doable, provided you set your mind to pray throughout your day, talk to the Lord who is there with you, and just let prayer be a part of your daily flow of life. Then you're going to pray much more than you do now. [1] Sherry Harney and Kevin G. Harney, Praying with Eyes Wide Open: A Life-Changing Way to Talk with God (Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2017).

Ephesians 4-6

Ephesians 1-3

On today's episode, James sits down with Pastor Jimmy Williams, the Giant Preacher, with a Dwayne sighting, vacuum-fueled hibernation and harvest festivaling in the green room, and a "stone the crows" lyric from Joseph before they land on anger. They start with a Science Alert piece showing that venting and punching bags don't reduce anger. From there it's Jimmy's own anger-management story after a motorcycle brain injury, cognitive behavioral therapy, and a caution on yoga from Matthew 12 and Ratzinger: clear the mind, then fill it with the Spirit, not nothingness. They draw the line between righteous indignation and sinful wrath with the Didache, the money-changers cheating pilgrims at the temple, David venting to God in the Psalms, and Robert Duvall's night prayer in The Apostle that stopped short of forgiveness. The second half runs CBT through timber rattlers and cottonmouth myths, the Holy Spirit as the Christian difference, Glenn's Cyberbeast road rage and "let Jesus solve it," James's legal-assistant scare and rose-bush "mosquito" drill, a fake-temper cat-litter toe, Patton-style coaching indignation, and Dwayne's count of 228 anger passages in the Old Testament against 4 in the New. It all lands on Ephesians 4:26–27: be angry and sin not, and don't let the sun go down on the cause. Then a full PJ's Coffee Exit 33 plug for a peaceful place to pray it out. Don't miss it!

Ephesians 4 calls Christians to maintain the unity of the Spirit with humility, patience, and love. Dave Jenkins explains why that unity rests on the truth of the gospel, how to distinguish essential doctrines from secondary disagreements and matters of Christian liberty, and how to pursue peace without compromising Scripture. Because believers are united in Christ, they can stand firm in truth while treating one another with grace.

The Scripture text for this sermon is Ephesians 1:15-23.

Ephesians 4-6

Ephesians 1-3

Your past does not disqualify you. Your background does not separate you from God. In Christ, you have a place, a purpose, and an inheritance. When life makes you feel forgotten, remember this: God has not left you outside the promise. Through Christ, you belong.

It's possible to be awake physically but asleep spiritually. In Ephesians 5, Paul gives us a wake-up call: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”In this first episode of The Reach, Pastor David Snyder explores what it means to stop sleepwalking through life and start paying careful attention to how we live. What does Paul mean when he tells us to “redeem the time”? And what does that have to do with understanding God's will, being filled with the Spirit, and making the most of the opportunities God puts in front of us?If you've found yourself simply going through the motions, repeating the same routines, or wondering where the time has gone, this conversation is an invitation to wake up and live with greater purpose and awareness of what God is doing around you. Scripture: Ephesians 5:14–21.The Reach is a conversation from Reach Church exploring Scripture, faith, and what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.Connect with us:YouTube | youtube.com/@reachchurchworldInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/reachchurch.worldFacebook | https://www.instagram.com/reachchurch.world/#X | @Reach_ChurchMobile App | Reach Church NCWebsite | https://reachchurch.world

Wisdom of Sirach 39:12-40:30; Psalm 77:1·17; Proverbs 16:6·10; Ephesians 2

What does it mean to be spiritually alive? In How to Become Spiritually Alive, we walk through Ephesians 2:1–10 and see the stunning contrast between who we were apart from Christ and what God has done for us by His grace. This message explains that apart from Jesus, we are not spiritually sick but spiritually dead—walking in trespasses and sins, shaped by the world, the flesh, and the powers of darkness. But the turning point of the passage is two powerful words: But God. Because He is rich in mercy, great in love, overflowing in kindness, and full of grace, God makes dead people alive together with Christ. Ephesians 2 reminds us that salvation is not something we achieve through effort, morality, or religious works. It is the gift of God, received by faith, and it leads to a new life of purpose as His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared beforehand. Scripture: Ephesians 2:1–10.

In this episode of Legacy Dads, Dave and Dante address "Functional Marriage Syndrome"—a common trap where Christian couples excel at domestic logistics but drift into becoming spiritual strangers. To move beyond mere efficiency and fulfill the Biblical mandate to love and understand their wives (1 Peter 3:7), husbands are urged to transition from managing household tasks to actively shepherding their wives' spiritual well-being with gentleness and vulnerability (Galatians 6:1). The guys introduce a practical framework centered on two core questions—"How is your heart with the Lord lately?" and "How can I lead our family in a way that nourishes you?"—encouraging men to lead through sacrificial support (Ephesians 5:25–29) rather than rigid auditing. By overcoming initial awkwardness with consistency, timing, and kindness, Dave and Dante show how husbands can move from reactive crisis management to proactive spiritual care, building a Gospel-centered foundation for both their marriage and their children.

How would one's life change if they knew that not only were they a citizen of a country, but they were a child of the king? This question is posed in a much deeper way by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in this sermon on Ephesians 2:19 titled “Of the Household of God.” In his continued sermon series on Ephesians 2:19, he plunges further into the depths of the Christian's position and privilege. Paul uses the metaphors of a kingdom, the family, and the temple of God. Being part of the kingdom entails unity as a people, along with the rights and privileges of being under the king. Being part of the household of God entails the intimacy and depth of relationship with God. The second is much deeper than the first. By way of application, Dr. Lloyd-Jones points out that understanding the familial relationship of the church should promote deep relationships in the church. Also, according to Dr. Lloyd-Jones, these two descriptors point to the bewildering facets of the love of God towards the Christian, but also demand the responsibility to represent God well.

Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it?John 10:27 (NIV) – My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) – Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.Romans 8:17 (NIV) – Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.Psalm 25:14 (NIV) – The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to them.John 15:15 (NIV) – I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.Song of Songs 8:5 (NIV) – Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth.Isaiah 61:1 (NIV) – The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,Matthew 16:15 (NIV) – "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"John 17:3 (NIV) – Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.…..RESOURCESThe Daily Prayer from Wild at Heart – Also available within the Pause App or on the Wild at Heart App.  https://wahe.art/4e1NSIg…..Don't Miss Out on the Next Episode—Subscribe for FreeSubscribe using your favorite podcast app:YouTube – ⁠https://wahe.art/4h8DelL⁠Spotify Podcasts – ⁠https://wahe.art/496zdfn⁠Apple Podcasts – ⁠https://apple.co/42E0oZ1⁠ Amazon Music & Audible – ⁠https://amzn.to/3M9u6hJ⁠

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our theme of "Core Truths." Karl shared a unique metaphor comparing core truths of training Iditarod dog teams and our own spiritual life. Colin Smith joined us as well. He is Pastor Emeritus of The Orchard Church and host of the national broadcast, Open the Bible. Pastor Colin discussed Ephesians 2:9-10 and the concern of following fads and trends, rather than biblical core truths that last for eternity. Pastor, speaker, and author Chris Coursey was also our guest. He unpacked true joy versus happiness and shared his own testimony of experiencing biblical joy even in the valleys. We highlighted one of his books called "The Joy Switch." Finally, we asked listeners, "What is a core truth you're living into today?" It's Wednesday, so we enjoyed Ally's Jokes!

Have you been waiting for life to settle down before you start decluttering or caring for your home? Maybe there's a room you keep shutting the door on, and you think, "Why start now? I don't even know what's coming next." In this Christian devotional, we walk through Jeremiah 32 in the KJV. Jerusalem was under siege. Jeremiah was a prisoner. And God told him to buy a field. He bought it, signed the deed, and preserved the documents. Then he brought his confusion to the Lord. God's answer is our anchor passage, Jeremiah 32:26–27: "Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?" I share how this passage spoke to me when I was surrounded by clutter, unfinished home projects, and too many commitments. We talk about God's sovereignty, faith that acts before sight, and the temptation to let everyday responsibilities slide while we wait for a bigger answer. Jeremiah 32 is God's promise to restore His people to their land, not a promise about our circumstances. But Jeremiah's response shows us what obedience can look like in our homes and spiritual lives, even when we still have questions. For reflection: Where are you waiting for your circumstances to change before you start tending to what God has put in your care? Scriptures in this episode: Jeremiah 32:1–44; Jeremiah 37:11–21; Leviticus 25:25; Ecclesiastes 11:4; Luke 16:10; 1 Corinthians 6:20; Ephesians 1:13–14; Hebrews 11:1; Genesis 18:14; Luke 1:37 Join the fall decluttering challenge: Five Rooms, Five Things, Five Prayers.

Today is day 273 and we are studying The First Commandment. 273. Can you worship and serve God perfectly? No. Only our Lord Jesus Christ worshiped and served God perfectly; but I can seek to imitate Christ, knowing that my worship and service are acceptable to God through him. (1 Kings 15:9–14; Psalm 53:1–3; Luke 4:1–13; Ephesians 5:1–2; Hebrews 7:23–28) We will conclude today by praying First Prayer for Mission found on page 51 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

What does it mean to hold the line when everything around us is pressing in? This message from Matt Harvey on Wednesday, September 20th 2026 draws a striking parallel between the infantry lines of historical warfare and the spiritual battles we face every day. Just as a single gap in a military formation could collapse an entire army, a single unguarded compromise in our spiritual lives can open a door that we never intended to leave cracked. The core lesson is sobering but empowering: the enemy rarely destroys us all at once. He thins the line one inch at a time, through unforgiveness we did not take to the altar, through thoughts we allowed to camp in our minds, through small agreements with sin that we told ourselves did not matter. Drawing from Ephesians 6, we are reminded that our battle is not against people or circumstances but against spiritual forces that are strategic and patient. The armor described by Paul was not decorative. It was combat gear, and the command attached to it is not to charge or retreat but simply to stand. For those of us who feel the weight of the fight right now, this is the word we need: the ground beneath our feet was purchased at a price too great to surrender.

Should a Christian attend a same-sex wedding—even when it's someone you deeply love? Does attending mean approval, and does declining mean rejection? Those are painful questions. In this video, I respond to a viewer wrestling with a possible wedding invitation from a family member. I explain why I would not attend a same-sex wedding, how I would communicate that decision, and why biblical conviction must never become an excuse for cruelty or withdrawing our love. We'll look at what Jesus teaches about marriage, why attending a wedding raises a different question than sharing a meal, and how to respond with both clarity and compassion. But the conversation cannot end with a declined invitation. In 1 Corinthians 6:9–11, we find the hope that must shape our response: forgiveness, cleansing, and new life in Jesus Christ. Sexual sin is not beyond the reach of the gospel. And none of us stands before God without needing his grace. Love doesn't require affirmation. Conviction doesn't excuse cruelty. We have one Savior for sinners.

In this episode, Cherie dives into Ephesians 5:6-14, addressing the false teaching that pressed in on the early Ephesian church, both empty deception and legalistic rule-keeping that distorted the truth of the Gospel. She unpacks Paul's urgent warning not to be deceived and not to partner with those who twist God's Word, reminding listeners that we can (and should) test every teaching against Scripture itself. As believers, our lives should look noticeably different now that we're in Christ, bearing the good fruit of goodness, righteousness, and truth as we walk in the light. Cherie closes by explaining the powerful "Arise, O Sleeper" call to wake up and shares why it inspired the name of her Ephesians study, Awake O Sleeper.WHAT IS NEUE THING?Neue Thing is a non-profit ministry, founded by Cherie Wagner, that exists to equip women with the Word of God. Cherie's life-long passion is two-fold: knowing Jesus Christ and making Him known. Author of Found On My Knees, Awake O Sleeper, Rest, Hope, Psalms for Life, and Knowing Your Name, Cherie writes Bible studies for women that will encourage them to know and believe God's Word, equip them to live it, and empower them to take it and transform this generation for Jesus Christ.CONNECT Website: https://neuething.org/Email Subscription link:https://neuething.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neuethinginc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neuethingGive to Neue Thing: https://neuething.org/give/RESOURCESProverbs: The Wise, The Fool, The WickedKnowing Your NameFound On My Knees: The Journey from Brokenness to BlessingAwake O Sleeper: EphesiansRest: 30 Days of Exploring God's Invitation to RestHope: Tethered to an Unwavering GodPsalms for Life

Ephesians Series  Message: 06 Episode: 2 of 3 Broadcast: September 30, 2026 Key Verses: Ephesians 3:1-13 In this episode of Walk in Truth, Pastor Michael Lantz continues the study in Ephesians with a teaching titled "The Mystery of Christ," based on Ephesians 3:1–13. Paul explains the mystery that had been revealed to him by God: through Christ, Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise. What was once hidden is now made known through the gospel, revealing God's plan to bring people together in Christ and display His wisdom through the church. Paul also speaks about his calling to proclaim the riches of Christ and make this mystery known. As Pastor Michael walks through this passage, you'll be encouraged to see the depth of God's plan of salvation and the privilege believers have in being part of what He is doing through Christ. This teaching will help equip you to walk through life as a Christian with greater understanding of God's purpose, confidence in the gospel, and a willingness to live out the calling He has given you. Welcome to Walk in Truth! These are the Bible teachings of Pastor Michael Lantz. Equipping you to reach out with God's truth to all people. And how to apply that truth to today's issues, trends, and culture.  Leave your question or comment contact@walkintruth.com

A Prayer for Strength

Letting GO #RTTBROS #NIGHTLIGHT The Art of Letting GoEver notice how we hold onto a grudge like it is a prized possession? We carry it around, polishing it every time we remember the hurt, thinking that our anger is somehow protecting us. But the truth is, holding onto bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer. It doesn't keep us safe; it just keeps us stuck. When we refuse to forgive, we aren't punishing the other person; we are just building a prison for ourselves. Dr. Stanley often reminded us that obedience to God starts with a surrendered heart. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:32, Be kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Forgiveness isn't a feeling we wait for; it is a decision we make because we have been forgiven much. When we release the debt, we finally find the freedom to move forward. Tonight, ask yourself what you are still gripping too tightly. Let it go and let God handle the justice.#RTTBROS #Nightlight linktr.ee/rttbrosApplication:Identify one person you are holding a grudge against and consciously release them to God.Pray for the person who hurt you, asking God to bless them.Thank God for His forgiveness of your own sins to fuel your ability to forgive others.https://linktr.ee/rttbros#BibleWisdomDaily #ChristianWisdom #PracticalBiblicalWisdom #Prayer #Trust #RTTBROS #Nightlight

Ephesians

I've struggled with self-reliance my whole life. Growing up, I learned early to count on myself. And the world cheers that on. It applauds hustle, control, and making things happen. What the world doesn't applaud is waiting on God. In this episode I share one of the hardest seasons of my walk with Jesus. I waited on God for years in an area then I hit this point where I grew impatient and took matters into my own hands. I went back to self reliance.  As a daughter of the King self reliance doesn't make sense when the one who created us and has great plans for us wants us relying completely on him.  And here's the thing. God was answering that prayer the whole time. I just couldn't see it yet. We'll look at Abraham and Sarah, who took matters into their own hands. We'll look at the Israelites, who turned an 11-day journey into 40 years. And we'll look at Job, who praised God even after losing everything. I close with four scriptures to speak over yourself when the enemy whispers, "Did God really say?" If you're growing weary in the waiting, this one is for you. Timestamps 00:00 Why self-reliance has been my lifelong struggle 00:27 The world applauds self-reliance, not waiting on God 00:54 Trusting God when the timeline doesn't match ours 01:21 Unanswered prayers in love, family, and finances 02:44 Abraham and Sarah take matters into their own hands 03:37 The enemy's lies go all the way back to the garden 04:07 My story: years of waiting on God in singleness 05:30 The season I went my own way, and what it cost me 06:27 It's not about the business or the relationship. It's about your heart. 07:24 God was answering that prayer all along 08:14 "Did God really say?" How the enemy chips away at our faith 09:39 Delight yourself in the Lord 10:34 Seek first the kingdom of God 11:33 Sometimes the wait is about the journey, not the answer 12:27 The Israelites: an 11-day journey that took 40 years 13:24 Job praised God through it all 14:41 My four years off track and the gap in this podcast 16:34 The take-home: don't go into self-reliance 17:59 Letting God's Word, not our feelings, tell us who He is 19:28 Perspective from our persecuted brothers and sisters 20:57 We were never meant to cling to this world 23:18 Four verses for staying in God reliance 23:38 Proverbs 3:5-6 26:10 Isaiah 40:31 and Philippians 4:13 26:37 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 27:34 He's enough, so we don't have to be 28:58 Fight back with scripture, just like Jesus did 29:55 Closing encouragement Key Takeaways God's timing won't match the world's timeline. If we're waiting on Him, our journey will look different, and that's okay. Doubt makes self-reliance look smart. When time passes, the enemy whispers that God isn't coming through, so we might as well do it ourselves. Taking matters into our own hands costs us. Abraham and Sarah made a mess. So did I. God still keeps His promises, but we miss out along the way. Our attitude in the waiting matters. The Israelites' complaining and unbelief kept a generation out of the promised land. Praise is always in our hands. Job lost everything and still worshiped. We can choose thankfulness no matter what. It was never about the answered prayer. Our relationship with God is the point. Everything else is a bonus. Keep this world in perspective. It's temporary, and where we're going is so much better. We don't have to be enough. He is enough, and that takes all the pressure off. Answer the enemy with scripture. Jesus did it three times in the wilderness, and we can too. Scriptures Referenced (NKJV) Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Philippians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;" Proverbs 22:7 "The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender." Genesis 3:1 "Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, 'Has God indeed said, "You shall not eat of every tree of the garden"?'" Genesis 16:2 "So Sarai said to Abram, 'See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.' And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai." Genesis 21:1-2 "And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him." Deuteronomy 1:2 "It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea." Philippians 2:14 "Do all things without complaining and disputing," Job 1:21 "And he said: 'Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.'" Job 42:10 "And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before." Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us," Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." 2 Corinthians 4:18 "while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." Matthew 4:4 "But He answered and said, 'It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."'" Your Next Step Pick one of the four verses from this episode and write it somewhere you'll see it every day. The next time the enemy asks, "Did God really say?" answer him with it.

Uncle Si earns a new nickname after proving he can still hang with the younger bucks, and an old proverb of Phil's sparks a conversation about ego, failure, and learning to serve instead of seeking the spotlight. A popular end-times interpretation gets put to the test as Jase, Al, and Zach dig into James 5, Matthew 24, and Jesus' warning about the destruction of the temple. The guys examine whether passages often connected to the final tribulation were actually pointing to judgment that would come within that generation, while still affirming Christ's future return.  In this episode: James 1:1; James 2:1; James 3; James 5:1-11; Matthew 23:37; Matthew 24:1-24; Mark 13; Luke 21; Genesis 4; Genesis 18-19; Genesis 21; Exodus 30; John 2; 1 Corinthians 6; Ephesians 2; Revelation 21-22; Ezra 2; Nehemiah Want to watch Unashamed ad-free?
