What If God's Role in Your Pain Isn't What You Think? Discussion Questions: 2 Corinthians Read 2 Corinthians 1:3–4. Paul calls God “the Father of mercies and God of all comfort.” How does this picture of God challenge or affirm the way you've thought about Him in times of trouble? What difference does it make that He is not the author of the tragedy but the comfort in the midst of it? Read 2 Corinthians 1:5. Paul says, “Just as the sufferings of Christ are ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ.” How does seeing suffering as something Christ also endured change how you interpret your own pain? Can you recall a time when His comfort felt “abundant” in your life? Read 2 Corinthians 1:8–9. Paul admits he was “burdened excessively, beyond our strength.” What does this teach us about the myth that “God will never give you more than you can handle”? How have you seen God teach you to lean more fully on Him? Read 2 Corinthians 2:6–8. Paul urges the church to forgive and comfort the repentant man. Why is it so important that the church embrace someone instead of letting them drown in excessive sorrow? How might this passage shape the way we respond to someone who has failed? Read 2 Corinthians 2:11. Paul warns, “so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.” What are some of Satan's schemes when it comes to guilt, shame, and isolation? How does God's comfort and the church's forgiveness break those schemes? Read 2 Corinthians 2:14–15. Paul says God “always leads us in triumph in Christ” and makes us “a fragrance of Christ.” What do you think it means to be “the aroma of Christ” to God and to others? How in your life right now might God be diffusing His fragrance through you?

We make decisions to do things all the time. Some of them conscious and some unconscious. Some of them have good results and some of them yield “not-so-good” results. Making good decisions is a learned process and often hinges on our priorities at that time. Today, Pastor Kyle explores some decisions Abram and his nephew, Lot, have made and the results thereof. One key thought from this is: “Will the decision I'm about to make enhance my relationship with God?” This is a question that Christians should consider in their decision making. Do you?

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! In the Bible Belt, churches outnumber stoplights, and faith dominates every aspect of daily life. But what happens when your truth doesn't align with the beliefs of those around you? For Melinda Williams, growing up sensitive to the spirit world meant being branded as something she was not—evil. Family and community members shunned her, accusing her of working with darkness and even calling her “the devil.” But the truth was far different. Melinda's gift was never rooted in fear or negativity—it was anchored in light. Over time, she realized the real darkness often came from those who claimed to speak for the light, condemning others while hiding their own fears. Instead of folding to the weight of judgment, Melinda chose a path of empowerment. She embraced her abilities, devoted herself to helping others, and began sharing her message of positivity and spiritual truth with the world. Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation with Melinda Williams—about faith, rejection, resilience, and the power of embracing who you are, even when the world tells you not to.

Living Truth Christian Fellowship Podcast

This week, Jake and Bob conclude their series on athletics by welcoming Fr. Burke Masters, the baseball priest, and Trevor Williams, the Washington Nationals pitcher, to the show! Together they discuss finding your identity in Christ when your job is about performing well, evangelizing as a professional athlete, and how sports can aid you in becoming a better Christian. Fr. Burke and Trevor also share how God led them to athletics, the story of how they met, and play a fun game with Jake and Bob at the end of the episode.   Key Points: Even when our jobs demand we perform well, our core identity is as beloved children of God, not in what we do or achieve. True humility is revealed in how we respond both to success and to failure, not just in our losses.   Integrating faith and sports means living out Christian values and witness in every context, not separating religious life from professional or competitive arenas.   Authentic evangelization often emerges through genuine relationships, presence, and consistency of character, more than through words alone.   Practice, discipline, and perseverance in sports mirror the virtues needed in the spiritual life.   The tension between ambition and surrender is navigated by directing all striving and success toward God's glory rather than personal gain.   Regular self-examination and reflection help transform both athletic and spiritual setbacks into opportunities for growth.   Balancing vocations—such as career and family—requires intentional boundaries and prioritization of what truly matters.     Resources: Grand Slam for God (or on Amazon) Fr.

Faith without works is dead.  James makes it clear: if your faith doesn't move you to act in obedience, it's not real faith. Abraham's obedience, even in the hardest test, showed the world that his faith was alive and complete. Join Pastor Robert and his wife Carolyn as they explain how actions reveal the evidence of our faith—and why obedience is the true mark of a follower of Christ.   One by One is the Podcast Ministry of Pastor Robert L. Scott Jr. of Quench Life Christian Fellowship. To learn more about QLCF, visit quenchlife.org. To support our ministry as we spread the Gospel, visit quenchlife.org/giving.

Pastor Andy Stanley provides real hope for every person who believes in Jesus Christ – a faith that is historically proven. Be sure that your faith is built on the foundation that the Lord provided, so you won't be swept away by life's storms.

Is your faith built on Solid Rock, or is it based on how “life” is treating you? Pastor Andy Stanley explains why many Christians have a ‘shaky faith', and provides real reasons why we can have a faith that defies any trial in life.

Join Pastor Kyle as he continues his series on the Long Walk Of Faith and the tests Abram goes through, along with how he responds. We also get a glimpse as to how God works in Abram's life during these tests.

What is faith made of? Many people believe they have saving faith, but the book of James challenges us to measure our faith by our actions. In this episode, Pastor Robert and his wife Carolyn unpack what true, biblical faith looks like, why actions must accompany belief, and how obedience reveals whether our faith is alive or dead.   One by One is the Podcast Ministry of Pastor Robert L.

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).But what exactly is faith? And what does it look like to live by faith—not just in the big, dramatic moments of life, but in the ten thousand small, ordinary moments that fill every day?That's the focus of this episode of The Connecting Podcast, the first in a multi-part series where Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott dive deep on the subject of faith.

#849 - Operating in Faith - Part 2, 8-31-2025 by The Water Hole

This week, Jake and Bob continue their series on athletics, and welcome Bart Schuchts, a former D1 football player, to the podcast. Bart reflects on how athletics shaped his self-identity, beliefs, and relationships from childhood through his adult life. They also discuss sports culture, fear based coaching, and the fine line between healthy competition and idolizing sports. Ultimately, when approached with balance and intention, athletics can foster deep connection, personal growth, and spiritual insight that extends far beyond the game itself, enriching every aspect of life.   Key Points: Athletic achievement is often tied to receiving love, affirmation, and attention in families, especially when there are older siblings who excel in sports. Sports can become an idol when one's entire sense of self-worth and identity is defined by performance and recognition. Sports teaches “conditional love,” when praise and acceptance are contingent on athletic success. A coach's coaching style can establish either a positive, formative atmosphere or contribute to wounding dynamics. The question “Am I lovable?” is often unconsciously brought to sports, and how one seeks to answer that can drive them to healthy mastery of athletics or unhealthy obsession. Healthy participation in sports fosters union and belonging. It also highlights both the best and worst ways we seek connection, love, and purpose.   Resources: Church on Fire (Bart's Website) Interview with Bart and Bobby Bowden Healing Professionals Virtual Workshop   Chapters: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:08:43 Sports in Bart's Life 00:10:44 Sports as an Idol 00:18:55 Finding Our Worth in Sports 00:28:38 The Good and Bad of Sports Culture 00:32:03 Dion Sanders and Work Ethic 00:33:39 Finding the Four Identities of a Human in Sports 00:34:58 Son vs Orphan 00:44:32 Brother 00:52:44 Husband 00:55:31 Father   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!
