We mistake ourselves for the stories we've been told and the ones we keep telling. But what if those stories are too small to contain who we really are? A conversation about discovering that the more we open our hearts to the world, the less we actually know about anything—and how this not knowing might be exactly where freedom lives. What happens when we stop trying to figure everything out and instead give ourselves fully to the mystery of being human? This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace.

I may not complete this last one but I give myself to it. I circle around God, around the primordial tower. I've been circling for thousands of years and I still don't know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?

Faithfulness - The Test Of TimeWhat Is your loyalty & allegiance to? Will it stay steadfast when it's uncomfortable, or inconvenient to hang on to? Can it be shaken by meaningless distractions? Our God is Faithful, & so are his children to him, & one another.
July 9, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class In this episode, we delve into the life of King Rehoboam, son of Solomon and grandson of David, to explore his reign, his decision-making process, and its impact on the kingdom of Israel. Through Rehoboam's story, we examine the importance of seeking godly wisdom over popular opinion, the role of humility and servant leadership, and the consequences of pride and harsh words. Join us as we draw parallels between Rehoboam's choices and the challenges we face in our own lives, particularly in our churches and personal spiritual journeys. Discover how lessons from his reign can guide us toward better leadership, stronger faith, and closer relationships with God. This episode offers insights into how we can apply biblical lessons to our daily lives, ensuring that we continuously seek God's guidance and strive to serve Him faithfully, learning from the past to build a better future.

Several passages in the Bible describe the Israelites setting up pillars or stones as memorials to remember God's faithfulness and miraculous acts. Two prominent examples are Jacob setting up a pillar at Bethel (read Genesis 28:18) and the Israelites erecting twelve stones at Gilgal after crossing the Jordan River (read Joshua 4:1-9). These acts served as visual reminders of God's presence and provision, helping them to remember His faithfulness_______________________Join me on the 'gram!

A recent survey reveals that nearly 1 in 4 Americans has no emergency savings, and more than a third had to tap into their savings just to get through the past year. Even more sobering, Bankrate reports that only 46% of U.S. adults have enough savings to cover three months of expenses, while 33% have more credit card debt than they do in emergency savings.The numbers are alarming, but they don't have to define your future.Laying the Foundation: Live on Less Than You EarnBefore we talk about building wealth or making investments, we must start with the foundation: living on less than you earn. It's the bedrock of biblical financial wisdom. As John Maxwell put it, “A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” Without a plan, it's easy to drift. But a budget anchors your finances and gives every dollar a purpose.That's where the FaithFi app can help—offering a practical tool to craft a spending plan rooted in biblical values.Proverbs 6:6–8 urges us:“Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.”The ant doesn't wait for a crisis—it stores up in advance. That's what budgeting does. It's not about restriction; it's about preparation and wisdom.Why Investing Comes NextOnce you've created margin through budgeting, the next step is investing. Why? Because while money sitting in a checking account loses value due to inflation, investing allows your resources to grow through the power of compound interest.As Proverbs 21:5 (TLB) says:“Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty.”Wise investing isn't about chasing trends—it's about faithful, consistent action over time.Maybe you're thinking, “I don't make enough to invest.” But consider this: If you invest just $100 a month starting at age 25, earning an 8% annual return, you'll have over $300,000 by age 65. That's the power of small, faithful steps over time.And today, getting started is easier than ever. Roboadvisors, such as Schwab Intelligent Portfolios or Betterment, offer diversified, user-friendly platforms that require minimal financial knowledge.Wealth With a Purpose: Stewardship, Not Self-SufficiencyRemember: financial freedom isn't independence from God—it's dependence on Him with wisdom. Deuteronomy 8 reminds us that even the ability to produce wealth comes from the Lord. As Proverbs 13:11 teaches:“Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.”God doesn't call us to perfection—He calls us to faithful stewardship.Why do we budget, save, and invest? So we can live with margin, give joyfully, and bless others. Wise financial decisions position us to participate in God's Kingdom work—not just provide for ourselves. So if you're feeling stuck, start small:Build a budgetCreate marginSave a littleInvest a littleTrust God with the processOver time, you'll be amazed at what He can do through your faithfulness.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My friend is interested in investing directly in Israel's stock market—how would they go about doing that? Additionally, I'm 83 years old and own a home valued at $360,000. I need to replace the iron pipes, which could cost between $35,000 and $51,000. At my age, what are my options for financing a project like this?My 66-year-old brother wants to set aside money to care for his adult autistic son, who currently lives in a group home. What's the best way for him to save and plan financially for his son's future care after he's gone?I'm 70, working full-time, and receiving Social Security, but I have no savings. My wife and I have been married for 50 years, but she refuses to save. What guidance can you offer for improving our financial situation at this stage in life?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Timothy Plan's Israel Common Values Mutual FundWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jody Jones and Chuck Gantz from Millwood Inc. Thank you for inviting me to speak with your staff at your place of business. You're helping others find strength. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 14:43-52: And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard." And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, "Rabbi!" And he kissed him. And they laid hands on him and seized him. But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled." And they all left him and fled. And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked. — Mark 14:43-52 This moment stings with betrayal. Jesus has just prayed with deep anguish in Gethsemane, surrendering his will to the Father's. And now, immediately, Judas arrives—not alone, but leading an armed mob. Judas approaches and betrays Jesus with a kiss, a gesture usually reserved for friends. This intimate sign of affection becomes the painful mark of betrayal. Chaos erupts. Swords are drawn. A disciple lashes out. Fear grips the air. And amid the panic, Jesus remains remarkably composed, reminding them that he had always been accessible. He had taught openly, day after day. Yet, they come for him under the cover of darkness. At this moment, every follower flees. Those who promised unwavering loyalty scatter in fear. Even a young man, who followed briefly, escapes so hastily that he leaves his clothes behind, fleeing in shame and humiliation. But Jesus stands firm—betrayed, abandoned, yet unshaken. He doesn't run, retaliate, or collapse. He calmly faces the mob, resolved to fulfill Scripture and His divine purpose. We know the sting of betrayal and abandonment. Friends fail us. People we trusted leave us isolated. We've even been let down by those who were supposed to protect and support us. Yet, Jesus understands this pain intimately. He experienced betrayal at the deepest level, yet he remained faithful. His example shows us that when everyone else abandons us, He does not. He remains unshaken, steady, and true. Perhaps you're currently facing betrayal, loneliness, or disappointment. Don't retaliate. Don't let bitterness consume you. Instead, turn your eyes toward Jesus—the One who remained faithful when everyone else fled. Let that bitterness go. Right now. Jesus endured betrayal so you would never have to face yours alone. Even if others forsake you, He never will. #Betrayal #Faithfulness #Mark14 ASK THIS: Why does betrayal by someone close to you hurt so deeply? How does Jesus' composure in betrayal encourage you? In what situation do you currently need Christ's strength to forgive? How can reflecting on Christ's betrayal and faithfulness shape your response to disappointments? DO THIS: Today, choose forgiveness over bitterness. Release your pain to Jesus, knowing He understands your hurt deeply and will never abandon you. PRAY THIS: Jesus, thank you for enduring betrayal and abandonment for my sake. Help me to respond like you—unshaken, forgiving, and faithful—especially when others let me down. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Another in the Fire."
Faithfulness is rare in a world driven by trends and convenience. But God isn't looking for flashy—He's looking for faithful. Steady. Loyal. Committed. The kind of person who shows up, keeps their word, and finishes well.

Garrett speaks directly to the agent who feels constantly behind. If you've ever felt the pressure to be on every platform, follow every strategy, or say yes to every opportunity, this is for you.Garrett reminds us that discipline is more powerful than omnipresence, and obedience is better than overextension.

Guest Ian Ferguson returns for his second visit to the podcast, accompanied this time by business partner Glenn Aldridge of CoSurge CPAs, a firm that provides audit leadership for other CPA businesses nationwide. Host Dr. Matt Davis steers their discussion through narration of their firm's merger and determination of core values (succinctly stated in an acronym for Surge), posing such questions as what could undermine the ethics of leadership, how they ethically balance client interests, and what makes their work worthwhile. Both men affirm that “stewardship is about more than resources.” They explain their superior model of work-life balance which sets them apart and how collaboration is possible despite 100% remote interaction through a virtual central office. Most importantly, they stress that they aren't focused on being the biggest CPA firm, but on taking care of their families. “We want to equip our people to do what God has called them to do whether it's accounting or something else,” says Mr. Aldridge, a perspective which Dr. Davis asserts is “exactly what Maranatha is all about.”

Abram responds with a heart of worship before God. Abram Rescues Lot and His Family from Captivity (Gen. 14:1-16) Lot's decision to walk by sight proves costly to him and his family. Lot and his family are taken captive by wicked, warring kings. Abram walks by faith in God, rescues Lot's family, and defeats the wicked kings in battle.
Faithfulness is the Difference - Jordan Danser by Somerville St Church of Christ
Join us for this episode where we see trusting God's Word leads to lasting strength. But when fear fuels our choices, compromise can sneak in and leave a legacy we never intended.Themes of this podcast:Faithfulness doesn't need to be flawless. Jehoshaphat was a good and godly king, but not a perfect one. His story reminds us even faithful people can make foolish choices, and those choices can have generational consequences. Still, God's mercy is bigger than our missteps.God's Word builds strong foundations. When Jehoshaphat sent out teachers with the Law, revival followed. This wasn't flashy leadership, it was faithful leadership. The Word of God, when taught and received, brings strength, peace, and God's favor to a nation.Compromise has a ripple effect. Jehoshaphat's alliance with Ahab looked strategic, but it sowed seeds of destruction. One compromised relationship led to idolatry, loss, and nearly wiped out the Davidic line. Fear-driven decisions often lead us far from faith.Show notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!

Will we live in spiritual alertness, or sleep as the enemy approaches? Among the olive trees, Jesus was pressed like an olive, bearing our sin in anguish and surrender. Are we awake to the price He paid for us? He calls us to stay spiritually awake through prayerful surrender.Jesus calls us to stay spiritually awake. Are we alert in a distracted world? From Gethsemane to today, “watch and pray” remains a call to surrender, dependence, and endurance. As we fix our eyes on Him, He keeps us, equips us, and uses us. Let us not sleep—let us pray.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

This weekend we continued our series, Songs for the Road, exploring Psalm 124—a song that invites us to look back and remember: What if God hadn't been on our side? Together, we reflect on how God's faithfulness fuels our faith, why we need to share stories of His protection, and how the truest expression of His deliverance is seen in Jesus. Whether you're walking through a storm or standing on the other side of one, this ancient pilgrim song reminds us that our help has always been—and still is—in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

In Deuteronomy 8, God tells the people of Israel that they need to keep an attitude of humility when they enter the promised land and all things are going well for them. Our students should be equally grateful and humble as they think about all their successes and failures.
Pastor Andy Cass What if you realized you've been placed in a garden — not just physically, but spiritually? In this message, Pastor Andy unpacks two roots every follower of Jesus must grow deep: humility and faithfulness, because what you plant today will be what you live on tomorrow. TEXT: Genesis 2:15, Deuteronomy 6:10–12, James 4:10, 1 Corinthians 3:6–7, James 5:7–8 NOTES: Big Question: Are you growing where you've been planted? Are you rooted? Are you embracing your season? Are you open to shaping/pruning? Big Idea: “What you plant today will be what you live on tomorrow.” Root 01: The mindset of a gardener is Humility Root 02: The cadence of a gardener is infused with Faithfulness and Patience. My faith—seeds have been planted. I remain present in the garden, humbly serving. I stay near the Master Gardener.”

Pastor Tyler delves into the profound book of Hosea. This Old Testament prophet's story serves as a striking metaphor for God's unwavering love for His people, even in the face of our unfaithfulness. We're challenged to consider how often we, like Gomer, chase after 'lovers' that aren't God - be it success, relationships, or worldly pleasures. Yet, the beautiful message of Hosea is that God's love pursues us relentlessly. He doesn't just judge our waywardness; He actively seeks to allure us back, offering mercy and renewal. This message invites us to examine our own lives: Where are we placing our priorities? Are we truly making God our singular focus, or are we distracted by the many options our culture offers? As we reflect on God's faithfulness, we're called to respond with our own faithfulness, allowing His transformative love to heal our waywardness and bear fruit in our lives.

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reframe our understanding of success in God's kingdom. Using Paul's encounter in Athens (Acts 17) as a backdrop, we're reminded that true success isn't measured by numbers or visible results, but by our faithfulness to Christ and the Holy Spirit's leading. Just as Paul faced mockery, curiosity, and belief when sharing the Gospel, we too may encounter various responses. However, our call is simply to be obedient and share God's love, leaving the outcomes to Him. This perspective shift can free us from discouragement and empower us to boldly proclaim Christ, even when immediate results aren't apparent. As we reflect on this, let's ask ourselves: Are we allowing God's Spirit to provoke us into action? Are we seeing others through His eyes? Our faithfulness in these small moments could be the catalyst for someone's life-changing encounter with Jesus.

In this solo episode, Bobby Bosler reflects on a summer of surprising stability while ministering from his new home base in Fairmont, West Virginia. Drawing from Psalm 15, he explores the traits of someone who is unshakable—not because of circumstances, but because of nearness to God. With biblical insight and practical challenges, this episode calls young listeners to examine their own lives and find spiritual stability in drawing close to the Lord.Topics DiscussedSummer gospel victories in West VirginiaHow Psalm 15 defines spiritual stabilityThe question: “Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?”What it means to walk blamelessly and obedientlyInternal honesty vs. self-deceptionThe dangers of slander and taking up offensesLearning to hate sin and love righteousnessKeeping your word, even when it hurtsManipulation, corruption, and integrity in relationshipsA call to walk near to God for unshakable stabilityKey TakeawaysSpiritual stability isn't about external calm—it's about internal nearness to God.Psalm 15 gives practical, convicting marks of the unshakable believer.God desires not just outward obedience but inward honesty and consistent integrity.The things that make us unstable—manipulation, slander, compromise—can be replaced by holy living if we draw near to God.Living close to God will expose sin and bring the strength to live unmovable.
