What does it truly mean to live wisely—especially during the Christmas season?In this message, Pastor Mark Cummins unpacks the journey of the Magi in Matthew 2 to discover what Biblical wisdom really looks like. Their story shows us that Biblical wisdom is more than knowledge... it's faith in action, obedience to God's leading, and a life that ultimately ends in worship of Jesus.This message explores how God's light: • Reveals hidden motives and calls us to authentic faith • Guides those who are willing to follow, step by step • Always leads us to Jesus • Produces generosity with our time, talents, and resourcesThe Magi followed the light they were given—and it changed everything. This Christmas, the same invitation stands before us: walk in wisdom, follow God's light, and let your journey lead you to Jesus.

Book of James Series — Chapter 4 In this week's episode of Worthy Pursuit, Amy walks through James 4 and the powerful call for believers to submit fully to God. When our desires clash with God's desires, tension rises — but James reminds us that the path to peace, clarity, and spiritual strength always begins with humble surrender. James challenges us to look at the motives behind our choices, the battles happening inside our hearts, and the pride that so easily distances us from God. But woven through this chapter is a beautiful promise: "He gives more grace." Grace to resist temptation. Grace to overcome worldly influences. Grace to walk in joyful obedience. In this episode, Amy breaks down: Why conflict and struggle often start within our own desires The difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom What true submission looks like in everyday life How pride destroys peace — and humility restores it A practical step-by-step rhythm for drawing near to God Why boasting about tomorrow keeps us from being faithful today You'll walk away encouraged, grounded, and equipped to approach every decision — big or small — with a heart that says, "Lord, Your will over mine."   Key Scriptures James 4:1–12 — Turning from selfish desires & returning to God James 4:13–17 — Living with humility and purpose in every decision   Challenge of the Week   Where in your life is God inviting you to submit, surrender, or slow down?

MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass: Faith In Action In this episode, I want to speak directly to the part of you that knows you were created for more but keeps waiting for the perfect plan or the perfect moment to start. I want to remind you that your life changes the second your belief becomes behavior. Faith in action is the force that separates those who hope for greatness from those who actually experience it. You do not need more time, more clarity, or more preparation. You need movement. You need to step into the now. Because now is where your confidence grows and now is where God meets you. In this Masterclass, I take you behind the curtain of the exact strategies, habits, and mindsets I have used for decades to build self discipline at a level that most people think is impossible. Not because I am naturally disciplined but because I built systems, eliminated distractions, and created a structure that makes winning my default setting. I walk you through the mindset of a dominator. Why perspiration beats talent, why emotional control is a superpower, and why the people who change their lives are the ones who act faster than their doubt. You will also learn the rule that changed my life forever. Immediate massive action. There is a rhythm to success and most people miss it because they hesitate. In this lesson, I show you how to break that habit and train your brain to respond in the moment. Whether it is a phone call, a conversation, a business idea, a new routine, or a relationship that needs healing, the power is always in now. When you act in the now, you elevate your vibration, you build momentum, and you create results that compound faster than you ever imagined. Finally, I walk you step by step through my formula for solving any problem. How to define reality, shift your emotional meaning, move 90 percent of your energy into the solution, and break through challenges that used to overwhelm you. Problems are not punishments. They are proof of progress and invitations to become the person God built you to be. Once you learn this process, you will stop fearing problems and start using them as fuel. If you are ready to expand your capacity, strengthen your faith, and live with a sense of historic purpose, this episode will ignite that fire in you. This is how you build confidence. This is how you build momentum. Key Takeaways Why self discipline is built in the small daily promises you keep to yourself How identifying your discipline stealers radically increases your capacity Why immediate massive action creates a rhythm of success faster than perfect planning The mindset shifts behind Tiger Woods five domination principles The three step formula for solving any major problem How focusing 90 percent of your energy on solutions changes your emotional state Why problems are proof of progress and opportunities for growth How faith becomes real the moment it becomes movement This is how you change the story of your life. Faith is not a feeling. Faith is action.

By today's definition an influencer is a person who uses their online reputation, expertise, or position to impact the actions and purchasing decisions of their audience. However, in reality you are an influencer. Like it or not, you are continuously influencing your circumstances. Everything around you reflects your attitude toward it, and acts accordingly. When you speak negatively of your affairs, you are misusing your special power of faith. Faith is defined as joyful expectancy. Having faith in God is having faith in good, in good outcomes. On this episode we delve into how psychokinesis is faith in action. Jeff Spikes highlights how optimism and faith are synonymous. Today's reading is “Magic is Happening”.

This powerful exploration of James chapters 1 and 2 challenges us to move beyond passive Christianity into lived faith. We're confronted with a penetrating question: Are we merely collecting spiritual knowledge like unused gym memberships, or are we actually living transformed lives? The message cuts through the comfortable distance many of us maintain between belief and action, revealing that authentic faith isn't just intellectual agreement—it's embodied reality. James, the brother of Jesus who himself underwent radical transformation from skeptic to believer, refuses to let us settle for half the gospel. While we're saved by grace through faith alone, that kind of faith inevitably works itself out in tangible ways. The sermon uses the metaphor of signing up for guitar lessons but never actually playing—we didn't sign up for religious theory; we signed up for transformation. Through examining how we speak, how we care for the vulnerable, and how we pursue holiness, we discover that integrity is the intersection where our beliefs and our lives meet. This isn't about adding more religious tasks to our to-do lists; it's about becoming conduits of God's grace, allowing what we've received to overflow into action. The mirror question haunts us: What is the Spirit showing us that we keep walking away from? What would change in our world if we stopped debating 500-year-old theological arguments and simply lived out faith that works?

This is it. The grand finale of our KINGDOM IMPACT series—and we're finishing strong. In this powerful conclusion, Sow the Seeds, Pastor Travis Hearn delivers a message that digs deep beneath the surface of blessing and favor to expose the gritty, often unseen journey of spiritual growth. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9:6-8, Luke 6:38, and John 12:24, this message is a vivid, faith-stirring reminder: you can't reap what you haven't sown. We've shouted over fruit, but today we honor the seed. We've talked stewardship, generosity, sacrifice—and now, God is calling us to Sow Big. Because before there are roots... before there are shoots... before there's fruit... there must be seed. And that seed isn't just financial—it's personal. It's your heart, your life, your yes to God. You'll hear how the Corinthian and Macedonian churches inspired each other toward radical generosity, and how the soil of your life doesn't respond to promises—it responds to planting. Pastor Travis challenges us to stop asking, “Where is my harvest?” and start asking, “Where are my seeds?” This message is raw, real, and deeply revealing. It's a spiritual call to move from comfort to commitment, from intention to impact, from withholding to wholehearted worship. Let's make a Kingdom Impact.

The Suffering of King David      David's fugitive years under Saul (1 Sam 22–24) were not wasted time but a period of divine training and refinement. Though anointed king by Samuel (1 Sam 16:13), David was not yet ready to rule. God enrolled him in the school of suffering, isolation, and rejection to develop the inner character necessary for kingship. In the cave of Adullam, David found himself surrounded not by Israel's elite but by society's outcasts, “everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented” (1 Sam 22:2). These men became his first followers, and God used them to teach David grace, compassion, and leadership under pressure. In the desert, David learned to live by divine viewpoint, to lean on God's sufficiency instead of human resources. His classroom was the wilderness; his lessons were hardship, endurance, and faith. Like Israel's desert testing, David's adversity exposed the contents of his soul and taught him to rest in God's perfect timing and immutable faithfulness (Deut 8:2).      During this season, David composed two psalms that record the anguish and growth of his soul (Psa 57; 142). Psalm 57 was written “when he fled from Saul in the cave” (Psa 57:1a), likely at Adullam (1 Sam 22:1). Here, David's faith triumphed over fear. Surrounded by danger, David prayed, “Be gracious to me, O God… for my soul takes refuge in You; and in the shadow of Your wings I will take refuge until destruction passes by” (Psa 57:1b). Though hunted, he chose praise over panic, saying, “My heart is steadfast, O God… I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the peoples” (Psa 57:7, 9). Adversity was used as a vehicle to expedite his growth, and David learned that security rests not in circumstances but in divine stability. Psalm 142, written later “when he was in the cave,” probably at En-gedi (1 Sam 24:1–3), reveals a soul exhausted by prolonged pressure. David wrote, “No one cares for my soul” (Psa 142:4), capturing the loneliness of exile and the silence of isolation. Yet even there, David refocused on the Lord, saying, “I cried out to You, O Lord; I said, ‘You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living'” (Psa 142:5). According to Ross, “The faithful must depend on the LORD completely when they are in grave difficulties because there is no one else who truly cares for them.”[1] When human support failed, divine grace sustained him. Through these psalms, we see David's soul pressed, purified, and reshaped into a man of faith.      The results of that refinement soon became evident. Twice David was providentially placed in a position to kill Saul, first in the cave at En-gedi (1 Sam 24:1–7) and later at the hill of Hachilah (1 Sam 26:7–11). Both times David restrained himself, refusing to violate divine authority. David said, “The Lord forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the Lord's anointed” (1 Sam 24:6). This statement reveals a soul stabilized by Bible doctrine and governed by reverence for God's sovereignty. David refused to advance through human manipulation or self-promotion. His patience demonstrated that he had learned to wait for the Lord's vindication, as he said to Saul, “May the Lord judge between you and me… but my hand shall not be against you” (1 Sam 24:12). His restraint was the strength of humility developed through divine viewpoint thinking and prolonged testing (faith in action).      These wilderness years, likely spanning seven to ten years, formed the core of David's divine preparation. Every deprivation was a test; every trial was a lesson in grace orientation, faith-rest, and obedience under pressure. When David finally ascended to the throne, he ruled as a man whose soul had been tempered by adversity. The Lord had fulfilled His purpose, confirming the principle He'd spoken to Israel, “He humbled you and let you be hungry… that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord” (Deut 8:3). Thus, David's wilderness experience was a means of spiritual sanctification. The very afflictions that threatened his life became the instruments of his spiritual growth. By waiting on the Lord and trusting His timing, David demonstrated genuine humility and teachability, which are marks of a man after God's own heart (1 Sam 13:14; Acts 13:22). The Suffering of Daniel      Daniel's story begins in the shadow of national tragedy. As a young man, likely in his mid-to-late teens, he was taken captive when Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem and carried many of Judah's nobility to Babylon (Dan 1:1–4). Torn from his homeland, stripped of freedom, and thrust into the heart of a pagan empire, Daniel entered a culture saturated with idolatry, sorcery, and political scheming. Babylon sought not only to enslave his body but to reprogram his mind, to erase his identity as a servant of the Lord and remake him into a loyal functionary of the empire. The king ordered that his name be changed, his education redirected, and his diet replaced with food from the royal table (Dan 1:5–7). Yet from the very beginning, “Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself” (Dan 1:8). Daniel was resolved to stand firm in his faith. He understood that his real allegiance was not to Babylon's king but to the God of heaven. In a foreign land, he refused to lose his spiritual identity. Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.   [1] Allen P.

Relish pleasing or zestful flavor — a quantity just sufficient to flavor to be pleased or gratified by enjoy. Welcome back to another episode of Relish. Host Rowan Miller is joined by Pastor Don Patterson for a warm, conversational look at spiritual life, memory, and how faith shapes what we do. We begin with a personal chat about ways of reading the Bible: community reading plans, working through devotionals, and how approaches change over time. Rowan and Don compare starting points (why beginning at Genesis can feel strange for new readers and why starting in John or using a devotional is often helpful) and reflect on how regular Bible reading has grown in their own lives. The main focus is the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22 — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith (faithfulness), gentleness, and self-control — with a deep dive into faith itself. Don highlights the Greek nuance (the list includes distinct Greek words, and the entry translated as “faithfulness” is the word for faith) and turns to Hebrews 11 to let Scripture define faith: "being sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see." The hosts walk through Hebrews 11 examples — Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses — and draw out what each life demonstrates about faith in action. Key highlights include how faith moves people to act beyond reason: Noah building an ark for a coming flood he'd never seen, Abraham leaving his homeland at God's call, and believers today stepping into new ministries or life-change despite uncertainty and possible ridicule. The conversation connects these biblical examples to practical hopes — renewal in local communities, fresh works of the Spirit, lives being changed, and the way transformed people can inspire others. Rowan and Don also reflect on generational dynamics, mentorship, and the joy of sharing faith stories that spark curiosity and renewal. Listeners are invited to share the episode and become part of the ministry's aim: to help one another grow deeper in knowing God and responding to His call.

Message Scriptures - James 2:17Philippians 3:20-21

This sermon explores the origins and significance of baptism and communion, tracing them back to their roots in the Exodus story. It explains that these sacraments are not random rituals but divine institutions commanded by Jesus, prefigured in the Old Testament, and practiced by the church for thousands of years.Scripture ReferencesMatthew 28:18-20: The Great Commission to baptize.Luke 22:7-20: The Last Supper, instituting communion.1 Corinthians 11:23-26: Paul's instructions on the Lord's Supper.Exodus 12:1-28: The Passover, the origin of communion.Exodus 12:29-51 & 14:1-31: The Exodus and crossing of the Red Sea, the origin of baptism.John 1:29: John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the "Lamb of God."1 Peter 1:18-19: Redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish.Key PointsCommunion: The Passover Fulfilled To understand the Last Supper, we must understand the First Supper (Passover). In Exodus 12, God provided a substitute (a lamb) to save the Israelites from judgment. This lamb had to be:Pure: Without defect.Personal: Kept in the home for four days.Killed: A true sacrifice.Applied: Blood on the doorposts (faith in action).Consumed: Totally devoured (we take all of Jesus).Taken in Faith: Eaten in haste, ready to move. Jesus is the fulfillment of this Passover lamb. He is the pure, personal sacrifice whose blood is applied to our lives, saving us from judgment.Baptism: The Red Sea Crossing Baptism is framed by the Israelites' crossing of the Red Sea (Exodus 14). It involves three movements of salvation:Leaving the Old Behind: Just as Israel left 430 years of slavery in Egypt, baptism symbolizes leaving our old life of bondage.Surrendering to God: At the Red Sea, Israel was trapped and terrified. Moses told them, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Baptism declares our trust in God to fight battles we cannot win.New Identity: Passing through the waters, Israel was born again as a free nation. They emerged on the other side with a new identity as worshipers, erupting in song. Baptism marks our entry into a new life and identity in Christ.Why We Do It We practice baptism and communion because Jesus commanded them, the early church practiced them, and they powerfully reenact the story of our salvation. They are not just rituals; they are "sacraments" that mark the church and remind us of who we are and whose we are.ConclusionThe sacraments of baptism and communion are God's way of "resetting our clocks" and marking us as His own. Just as the Passover changed the calendar for Israel, meeting Jesus changes everything for us. We leave behind the old, trust God to fight for us, and step into a new identity as His people.Calls to ActionRemember Your Baptism: If you are a believer, recall the moment you "crossed the Red Sea" and left your old life behind.Take Communion in Faith: When you participate in the Lord's Supper, remember the cost of the Lamb and apply His blood to your life by faith.Stand Firm: If you are facing an "impossible" Red Sea situation, hear the word of the Lord: "Do not be afraid. Stand firm... The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Support the show*Summaries and transcripts are generated using AI. Please notify us if you find any errors.

Why is thanksgiving such an important Christian virtue? Far more than a seasonal theme, gratitude is the basic posture of the soul that trusts God. Scripture shows that giving thanks is “faith in action,” shaping us into people marked by humility, dependence, and hope. This edition of Ask the Church explores why thanksgiving lies at the heart of the Christian life and how practicing it helps form the heart even when gratitude feels difficult.

Gratitude can feel effortless when life and marriage are smooth—but what about when it's hard? In this episode, we explore how to practice honest gratitude even in seasons of struggle, disappointment, or unmet expectations. From grief and loss to conflict and emotional distance in marriage, we discuss ways couples can rebuild appreciation for each other, lean on God in difficult times, and use gratitude as a tool for hope, healing, and unity. Be encouraged to find thankfulness rooted in faith, not just feelings, even when your heart is hurting. Main Takeaways: Gratitude is challenging in seasons of struggle.   Honest gratitude is rooted in faith, not feelings.   Gratitude strengthens marriage and protects against division.   Spiritual rhythms help cultivate thankfulness. Quotes from this Episode: Choosing gratitude when you don't feel it isn't fake—it's faith in action. Sometimes, obedience comes before emotion.   When disappointment builds, we keep a mental ledger of failures and let resentment choke out gratitude.    Shifting your focus from what's wrong to what remains right isn't denial; it's a courageous act of faith, especially when you're hurting.   Gratitude flourishes when you intentionally move from deficit thinking to abundance thinking.   Don't compare your spouse to others—celebrate who they are and who they have become.   Feelings follow actions. Don't wait to feel grateful—do the grateful thing, and let your heart catch up.   Lament is honest, gratitude is hopeful. We need both, because lament without gratitude turns to bitterness, and gratitude without lament turns to denial.   Radical gratitude trusts in God's character, not in our circumstances. Couples Conversation Guide: "When life or our marriage feels hard, what makes it difficult for you to feel thankful? How can we support each other in those times?"   "How can we remind each other to choose gratitude rooted in faith, even when our emotions don't match our circumstances?"   "Are there ways we've lost sight of what we appreciate about each other? What's one thing we can start noticing and thanking each other for this week?"   "What daily or weekly habits—like prayer, Scripture, or reflection—could help us keep gratitude alive, even when things are tough?"

Jesus redefined God as "Father," inviting us to engage with faith, justice, and the church's role in society. This episode explores how the concept of "Father" in the Lord's Prayer shifts from an ancient patriarchal lens to a radical, relational, and restorative vision of God. Through powerful storytelling, the hosts unpack Jesus' redefinition of "Father" as a term of intimacy, love, and belonging—challenging cultural hierarchies and calling the church to embody cruciformity in community. Dive into nuanced discussions about Christianity, faith, and theology while reflecting on the intersection of cultural issues, justice, and the teachings of Jesus. Together, the hosts wrestle with navigating cultural challenges, addressing Christian nationalism, and envisioning a faith that uplifts rather than marginalizes. From the parable of the prodigal son to real-world acts of love and resistance, this conversation centers on the transformative impact of God's love.

Why do so many leaders fall short—not for lack of skill, but for lack of courage? In this powerful episode, Ron explores what author Jill Schulman calls "The Bravery Gap"—the space between knowing the right thing to do and actually doing it. Every leader faces it: the moment when faith collides with fear, and comfort feels safer than courage. Drawing wisdom from both Scripture and experience, Ron shows how Christian leaders can close that gap and step into bold, God-honoring leadership. Using Schulman's four practical steps and adding a fifth distinctly spiritual one—prayer—this episode unpacks how faith transforms ordinary courage into supernatural confidence. Listeners will learn: Why avoiding discomfort slowly erodes influence and trust. How to recognize when fear or pride is keeping you from obedience. The true spiritual cost of inaction and delayed decisions. What it means to "embrace the stretch" and see discomfort as God's tool for growth. How to "do it scared"—taking one small act of obedience even when courage doesn't feel natural. And finally, how prayer bridges the gap between human bravery and divine strength. Through powerful biblical examples—Moses facing Pharaoh, Esther risking her life, Peter preaching boldly after failure—Ron reminds leaders that bravery in God's economy is not the absence of fear but faith in action. When we name our fears, count the cost, lean into discomfort, act in faith, and pray through the process, courage becomes contagious—and transformational. Whether you lead a team, a church, or a business, this episode will help you trade comfort for conviction and turn the Bravery Gap into a bridge toward faithful, Spirit-led leadership.

In a time where people of color in the United States face new and escalating marginalization, we at Faith Unfiltered thought it timely to re-post this timeless conversation about faith and courage. Join Katie Langston as she interviews Vivian Jenkins-Nelsen, a social worker, scholar, and anti-racism activist from Minneapolis who was awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award from Barack Obama. Vivian shares her remarkable faith journey: growing up as the daughter of the only Black Lutheran pastor for miles and miles around, becoming deeply involved in the Civil Rights Movement with Dr. King, doubting her Christian faith, and eventually claiming a place in a faith tradition that did not always welcome her with open arms. This is a compelling story of faith in action, one that you will not want to miss. Listen to more episodes in the Percolating on Faith Series. Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Faith in Action Friday 02: Faith in the Right PeopleSometimes people are at their lowest, and one moment of noticing can steady them. I share two moments that shaped me. A dad at daycare who saw I wasn't ok as a new father, and a stranger during my midlife crisis who told me, “God will get you through this.” Those moments reminded me that faith in people is found in small acts of attention.This episode connects to the full episode, How to Get the Right People in the Room so Progress Happens. Progress requires trust, the right voices, and the courage to invite people back into your life.Today's question:Who do you need to invite into your world again?People first, process aligned, progress together, so that YOU can;Own your mind, move your body, anchor your spirit.

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

Wherever you are, and however you may be listening, thanks for making us part of your day. Well, how do you attain godly wisdom? What's the right way to resolve conflict?

Ron takes us there next, as he  continues his teaching series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.” 

When trials come your way, do you falter, or do you flourish? Well, life is filled with challenges. Maybe you'll lose a job. Maybe you'll lose a marriage. The question is, will you lose your faith. Today, Ron takes us to the book of James in his continuing series, “The Ultimate Road Trip Through The Bible: The General Epistles and Revelation.”
