Marriage isn't about perfection; it's about God's grace sustaining imperfect people through broken, beautiful seasons. Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman share from their book, "Still Here: Life Together on the Long Way Home." They share about how their 40-year journey proves that with total dependence on God's faithfulness, forgiveness, and redemptive power, marriages can not only survive but become testimonies of His mercies.

Jesus understood that He alone could faithfully bear the spiritual load and withstand the spiritual labor necessary to atone for sins. Just one Passover lamb would die that year. And Jesus predicted Peter’s restoration too. After I rise, I’ll go ahead of you back to Galilee. Peter’s failures are met by Jesus’ faithfulness. Our failures are met by Jesus’ faithfulness.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get your Hosea Scripture Journal now. What causes a nation to slowly fall apart? God answers that question with surprising clarity. Listen to our text today, Hosea 4:1b-3: There is no faithfulness or steadfast love, and no knowledge of God in the land; there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed. Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, and even the fish of the sea are taken away.— Hosea 4:1b-3 That is where the decay begins. Not with politics. Not with policies. With the absence of God. Not the absence of religious talk—but the absence of truly knowing him. That word "knowledge" has more meaning than it sounds. The Hebrew word is: דַּעַת (daʿat) — from the root יָדַע (yada). It doesn't mean information—it means relationship. Personal, experiential, covenant knowing. God isn't saying they forgot facts about him. He's saying they don't know me intimately or relationally anymore. And once that foundation is gone, everything built on it begins to weaken. Faithfulness fades. Love becomes shallow. Truth becomes flexible. What follows is predictable. A list of five behaviors follows: "Swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery…" These are not just individual sins. They are symptoms of something deeper. When people lose their knowledge of God, they lose the standard that once shaped their lives. Boundaries begin to disappear. "They break all bounds…" And when there are no boundaries, there is no restraint. "Bloodshed follows bloodshed." This is what decay looks like. It spreads. It compounds. It becomes cultural. But it doesn't stop with people. "The land mourns…" Even creation feels the destruction of it. This takes us all the way back to Genesis. When sin enters, it never stays contained. It affects everything—relationships, communities, even the earth itself. So let's make this personal. If your life feels unstable, truth feels negotiable, love feels inconsistent, don't blame others or your circumstances too quickly. It might be that you have drifted in your relationship with God. Not your belief in him. Not your language about him. Your knowledge (or relationship) with him. Because you don't drift into a relationship with God. You drift away from him. Quietly. Gradually. Almost without noticing. Until one day, what once felt wrong feels normal. And what once felt true feels optional. Don't just ask, "What needs to change?" Ask: "Do I actually know God anymore?" DO THIS: Spend time today in God's Word and focus on one truth about who he is, not just what he commands. ASK THIS: Where do you see the effects of a lack of God's truth in the world around you? How has your understanding of God shaped your daily decisions? What is one way you can grow in truly knowing God this week? PRAY THIS: Father, deepen my knowledge of you. Help me build my life on your truth so I don't drift into confusion or compromise. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Knowing You (All I Once Held Dear)"
In today's episode I will be praying over us, reading Psalm 13, and saying whatever the Holy Spirit prompts me to say after I read the scripture. This is day 13 of a series where I will be reading a Psalm everyday on here for 150 days. I challenge you to come to join me everyday as we use scripture to fight off the enemy and grow us in ways that we can't even imagine. Ahhh! I can't believe I'm finally saying this, but my first Christian children's book You Are Loved is officially launching on June 5th! This book is an interactive gospel story book with key characters left blank, making it engaging and memorable. It is a meaningful and effective tool for parents, churches, and educators to clearly and simply communicate the gospel and help children to truly know Jesus.

Faithfulness and Courage in the Light of the Last Days The Sunday Sermon Luke 21: 5-38visit cpcnewhaven.org for more!
Ecclesiastes 8:1-17 teaches that wisdom is not God giving us paint-by-numbers answers for every decision, but shaping us into people who can navigate life's complexities with godly judgment. Solomon shows that wisdom helps us deal with power, timing, authority, and the consequences of our choices. Rather than turning us into robots, biblical wisdom provides guardrails that help us make faithful decisions in situations where there is no simple chapter-and-verse answer. Solomon also confronts the realities of injustice, mystery, and tension. Wicked people often seem to prosper while good people suffer, yet wisdom calls us to fear God and trust that His justice will come in His perfect time. Life is filled with unanswered questions and unsatisfying answers, requiring us to walk by faith rather than sight. The wise person learns to hold both sorrow and joy together, lamenting the brokenness of the world while still enjoying God's gifts, knowing that faithfulness means trusting God even when life does not make sense.
What does it cost to follow Jesus?In this powerful message from Mark 6, Pastor Ryan Visconti explores the life and death of John the Baptist and reveals what faithful discipleship looks like in a culture that often rejects truth.As people speculated about Jesus and misunderstood who He was, John the Baptist boldly proclaimed God's truth—even when it cost him everything. This message challenges believers to stand firm in conviction, understand who Jesus truly is, and remain faithful no matter the cost.Through the story of Herod, Herodias, and John the Baptist, we discover the dangers of compromise, the importance of courage, and why Jesus is the King above every earthly ruler.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Jim Sanders, Executive Vice President of Ambassador Advertising, shared about how He has seen God's faithfulness in his own life, “God's blessing has been beyond anything I could have imagined. In between, we started a satellite delivery company called Ambos. And it's clear based on who I am and who we are, that God's hand was in it every step of the way.” Through Ambos, God used Jim and his team to help Christian radio grow—pushing Gospel content to stations around the world. Jim could see God's hand in it all. And the same is true in our lives. When we look back, we see God's faithfulness—how He's guided and transformed us since we placed our trust in Him alone. And sharing our “God stories” can open doors to Gospel conversations. So today, tell someone how God's been faithful to you—and then share the Good News. For help and to watch the full interview with Jim Sanders, visit ShareLife.Today.

Most people think clutter comes from being too busy or not organized enough. But what if the real reason your space keeps filling back up is that you're holding onto things that are tied to a version of you God is asking you to release? In this episode, Emily breaks down why clutter keeps coming back and why it has nothing to do with discipline. She unpacks the seven types of clutter that are quietly revealing what you're still carrying, and helps you see how your space is often mirroring the version of you that no longer fits the season you're stepping into. Beyond that, she walks you through a simple, faith-led framework to help you shift not just your space but your spirit. This isn't just about having a perfect home. It's about a woman who lives in alignment. Because the truth is, what you keep is shaping who you remain, but what you release determines what God can do next.

Psalm 78:2 reminds believers of the importance of remembering and recounting God’s faithfulness through every generation. In this devotional, Jennifer Slattery explores how seasons of chaos, uncertainty, fear, and hardship can tempt Christians to lose sight of God’s power, provision, and promises. When life feels overwhelming, believers often try to regain control on their own, yet Scripture continually points back to the faithfulness of God as the true foundation for peace and stability. This devotional highlights how the Israelites repeatedly witnessed God’s miraculous provision and deliverance, yet often forgot His faithfulness when new challenges arose. Through intentional reflection and remembrance, Christians can strengthen their faith, overcome fear, and build deeper trust in God’s character. Remembering God’s past faithfulness becomes a powerful way to steady the heart, encourage future generations, and remain anchored in hope during uncertain times. Highlights Remembering God’s faithfulness strengthens faith during difficult seasons. Fear and anxiety often grow when believers forget God’s past provision. Scripture repeatedly calls God’s people to reflect on His works and promises. The Israelites struggled because they continually forgot God’s deliverance. God remains faithful even when His people are fearful or weak in faith. Reflecting on God’s past provision helps believers trust Him in present trials. Intentional remembrance builds peace, hope, and spiritual endurance. Do you want to listen ad-free?

Full Transcript Below: How Remembering God’s Faithfulness Rebuilds Your FaithBy: Jennifer Slattery Bible Reading:I will open my mouth with a parable;I will utter hidden things, things from of old. —Psalm 78:2 Lately, life has felt heavy and chaotic, hasn’t it? Sometimes it feels like everything is spinning backward, upside down, and inside out, and frankly, there’s not much I can do about it. I can’t fix our economy or prevent the next recession. I can’t undo the division and polarization plaguing our nation. I can’t solve my loved one’s problems or prevent their pain. And when everything hits simultaneously, or my hardship continues for any length of time, I temporarily lose sight of the power, promises, and love of Christ. Such forgetfulness is dangerous in times of crisis, because it tempts me to rely on myself and seek control. But I’ve created enough messes to know the foolishness of any so-called solutions not provided by Christ. Thankfully, He never leaves me to navigate life’s challenges alone. I watched Him resurrect my marriage when it seemed dead. He’s provided for us in miraculous ways and guided us through confusion and uncertainty. My life has become a living testimony of His grace. A grace that, when remembered and reflected upon, deepens my faith, strengthens my obedience, and purifies my love for the One who never leaves my side. I see this strategic interaction all throughout Scripture. We humans excel at falling into messes; the Lord excels at pulling us out and setting us on a new, brighter, freer path. This is the message Asaph, the prophet and royal musician who penned Psalm 78, conveyed. He wanted the Israelites to consider God’s faithfulness to His often faithless and rebellious people. He asked them to listen, and then to repeat the lessons he taught, as a way to encourage their souls, yes. But also to build faith into the next generation. To help insulate them from falling into the same self-defeating traps as the older generation (vs 6-8). Scripture records some of the most shocking examples in Exodus, a historical narrative recounting the people’s liberation from slavery and oppression and journey to the Promised Land. They should’ve completed this 200 to 400-mile trek within ten days, a few weeks max. But when it came time to enter their new, God-given land, they refused, out of fear. This, after having witnessed the Lord’s miraculous intervention numerous times. Consider how their story began—an entire population, held captive, powerless, for centuries. They had no recourse, no voice, and likely assumed things would never get better. How could they, a weak and beaten-down people group, possibly break free from the most powerful ruler in the ancient world at that time? That’s also why God’s rescue would’ve made such an impact. He infused hope into a seemingly hopeless situation, proving His power over the most oppressive and established systems and history’s most vicious tyrants. But then, soon after their liberation, they found themselves trapped again, this time with a large body of water on one side and a skilled, armed, and trained military advancing on the other. Understandably, the people panicked. They deemed their circumstances hopeless. But again, God came through, parted the water so they could pass across on dry ground, then swept their cruel abusers into the sea. Again and again, God’s people found themselves in dire situations. And again and again, God came through, proving His love. Demonstrating His attentive care. In each instance, He presented them with an opportunity to deepen their faith, build greater trust in their Maker, and establish a more secure connection with Him. Sadly, they never seemed to accept His beautiful invitation—because they refused to learn from their past. Instead, they remained reactive, fearful, anxious, and in repeated chaos with themselves, one another, and their Lord. Asaph challenged the later generations to consider their ancestors’ self-defeating patterns so that they could learn to live differently, with more faith and less fear. And he did so by highlighting God’s faithfulness, often displayed when His people behaved most faithlessly. Intersecting Life & Faith: Each day, God offers us the same lesson. He invites us to engage in intentional reflection, where we periodically pause to recall evidence of His love and examples of His care. This remembering strengthens our faith and our attachment to our Savior. As we consistently draw closer to Him, listen for His life parables, and fortify our souls with truth, He steadies us. He enables us to stand firm, immovable, regardless of how shaky the ground beneath us feels. How might intentionally remembering God’s power, promises, presence, and provision increase your faith and peace and decrease your anxiety for whatever difficulties you might face? Perhaps journal on one instance each day. In a year’s time, you’ll have 365 accounts of His faithful care for you and those you love.

Where do you find the right people to walk with through different seasons of life and ministry? How do you stay grounded in what matters when technology keeps changing the way we relate to each other? And what does faithfulness actually look like over the long haul? In this Staff Talk, Francis reflects on the kind of life that lasts - one marked by love, humility, and a steady dependence on God. Drawing from John 13 and 15, he shares why the people God places around us matter more than we realize, and how an eternal perspective changes the way we lead, serve, and care for others. This conversation is about slowing down enough to love people well, staying rooted in Jesus in a distracted world, and becoming the kind of person others can grow alongside for years to come.

Pastor Casey Flynt - Philippians 2:5-11
The faithfulness of God is one of the great golden threads that runs unbroken from Genesis to Revelation. Man changes, nations rise and fall, kings make promises they cannot keep, and generations pass away like grass in the field, but God remains exactly who He said He is. When Adam fell, God was faithful. When Noah stood alone in a wicked world, God was faithful. When Abraham looked for a city whose builder and maker is God, God was faithful. When Israel wandered, rebelled, murmured, sinned, and went into captivity, God was still faithful. His compassions failed not then, and they do not fail now. My message for this Memorial Day Sunday Service is "The Faithfulness Of God In Every Dispensation". “It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:22,23 (KJB)That is why Jeremiah could look out over the ruins of Jerusalem and still say, “great is thy faithfulness.” He was not speaking from a place of ease, comfort, or outward victory; he was standing in the ashes of judgment and declaring that God had not changed. The faithfulness of God is not proven only when the sun is shining, the bills are paid, and the blessings are obvious. It is proven in the furnace, in the wilderness, in the storm, and at the graveside. From the garden to the cross, from the empty tomb to the coming kingdom, God has never failed His word, never forgotten His people, and never once been late in keeping His promises.

David lived his life faithfully serving God, perfecting his skills and protecting what God gave him to care for. Because David had been faithful in facing the battles with the bears and the lions to protect his sheep, he was prepared to face the battle against Goliath, knowing that God is the one who has always given Him the strength to win.
Jesus Followers Are Expected, by God, to Confess their Sins and Plead for Forgiveness {Penitence} Real Time MESSAGE SUMMARY: Penitence is not a once in a lifetime occurrence. Penitence is a daily and moment by moment, real time, occurrence. None of us is perfect, and not one of us always does the will of God. Paul, in Romans 2:4-5, is unequivocal in establishing the need for your continuing penitence and the consequences of your not repenting of your sins on a real-time basis: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Therefore, we all need to repent and return to the Lord. You can become cocky and arrogant in your spiritual life – “I am a Christian; God has done this for me.”. As the Psalmist tells us in Psalms 32:5 of his confession and his penitence: “I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,' and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.". You can rest on our perceived laurels; but these perceptions, of personal goodness and righteousness, can lead you quickly to a need for your penitence. TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Inconsistencies. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Faithfulness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Join the Uplift Community App TODAY! There is a woman who has been circling the same cul-de-sac for years. The book that lives fully formed in her head. The coaching program she keeps talking herself out of launching. The health goals she has been almost serious about. She is not doing anything. She is researching. She is saving posts. She is gathering information because gathering information feels responsible. It feels wise. It feels like progress. She is just never quite ready to start. If you have been that woman or you love that woman, this episode is for you. Alli breaks down the neuroscience behind why responsible, capable women get stuck in a loop of almost, names the voice in your head that keeps you waiting, and gives you two practical exercises to finally move forward. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why your brain generates endless "responsible reasons" to keep you waiting (and why they always sound like wisdom) The amygdala's role in keeping you safe from calling, risk, and being seen trying The thought underneath the thought that's actually running your decisions How Caleb and Joshua reached a different conclusion than the 10 spies from the exact same data Why the length of time you've been "almost ready" matters more than the reason itself Timestamps: (01:00) - Meet Sarah: a composite of 20 years of conversations with women in business and life (01:57) - The Library of Congress has fewer saved articles than Sarah's phone right now (03:05) - Meet Becky: what neuroscientists call the amygdala, and why she runs the meeting (04:15) - Becky speaks in the language of wisdom because wisdom doesn't trigger resistance (05:41) - The thought underneath the thought: what Sarah is actually afraid to find out (06:30) - The 10 spies, the promised land, and what Caleb and Joshua decided instead (07:33) - Faithfulness requires forward motion. Circling indefinitely is not waiting on God. (07:54) - Two exercises: pick the one that makes your chest tighten (10:06) - Recommendations: kombucha, probiotics, and your daily health habit Links to great things we discussed: Alli's Product Recommendations - KeVita Kombucha and Health-Ade Pomegranate Blueberry Kombucha Function Health Take the Secret Superpower Quiz Join the Uplift Community Follow Alli on Instagram Don't forget to watch Alli Worthington on YouTube!

In today's episode, we're reminded that the hardest and most unexpected parts of life are often where we experience God's presence most deeply. Beth Tappan, who serves on our Charleston, South Carolina community team, shares her story of growing up in an adoptive family and the profound influence of both her adoptive and biological mothers. Through loss and discovery, Beth's journey unfolds in remarkable ways—especially after the passing of her parents, when she connects with her biological mother and learns of a history of breast cancer. Because of that connection, Beth begins early screenings and ultimately discovers cancer at an early stage, an outcome that may not have been possible otherwise. Through it all, she sees God's hand guiding her story in ways she never could have planned, encouraging us to know that God's faithfulness is not dependent on ours. He always remains steady, present, and good. VERSE OF THE WEEK: "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, before you were born, I set you apart." Jeremiah 1:5 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Reflect on the truth that God knew you before you were born and praise Him for the ways in which He has shown His faithfulness to you throughout your life. _______________________________________________________________________________ Listen to a similar story: Episode 29- Heather Rhodes: "From Heart Surgery To Cancer To Adoption" Download a phone background of the weekly verse HERE!

Faithfulness happens over thousands of days, years, of laying down our lives.
We're diving into the story of Ruth in session three of our Daughters study—and wow, her story is so much more than just a love story with Boaz. We talk about what it looks like to leave behind comfort and familiarity in order to follow where God is leading, even when it feels scary, uncertain, or lonely. Ruth's brave “yes” reminds us that some of the most beautiful moves of God in our lives happen on the other side of obedience. We also get honest about friendships and relationships that get hard. Through Ruth and Naomi's story, we unpack the power of staying faithful in unexpected relationships instead of walking away when things feel messy. Mac and Kenz even share a vulnerable story from their own friendship and how God used a difficult season to create deeper unity and trust. And finally, we talk about redemption. Ruth's life began with heartbreak and loss, but God slowly and faithfully transformed her story through everyday obedience, humility, and trust. If you're walking through disappointment, confusion, grief, or a season where God feels distant, this episode is a reminder that He is still writing your story—and He loves to turn broken pieces into something beautiful.
