Seth Hammond's Sunday morning message from June 7, 2026

What if the most loving thing isn't the comment everyone else is leaving? Before you hit "proud of you," "you look beautiful," or "live your truth," ask yourself: are you encouraging someone toward life, or cheering them further into the very thing that's destroying them—and what does God think about it?#ChristianTikTok#ChristianReels#JesusChrist#BibleTruth#BiblicalTruth#ChristianPodcast#FaithOverFeelings#KingdomMindset#FollowJesus#DiscipleOfChrist#LoveAndTruth#SpeakTheTruth#TruthInLove#RealLove#BiblicalLove#ChristianLiving#ChristianEncouragement#FearGod#RepentAndBelieve#Watchman#CultureAndChrist#CounterCulture#ChristianPerspective#WorldVsWord#ModernChristianity#HardTruth#DeepFaith#ThinkAboutIt#TruthMatters#WakeUpChurch#LikingTheirPostsWontSaveThem#YoureNotHelpingThem#LoveDoesntCheerForSelfDestruction#IdentityInChrist#CreatedByGod#SpiritualDiscernment#ChristianContent#BibleTeaching

Pastor Danny Long speaks on Exodus 4:27-5:21 where Moses and Aaron first approach Pharaoh with God's demand to let His people go. Pharaoh responds with defiance, refusing to acknowledge God's authority and instead increasing the Israelites' workload.

☞ ABOUT THIS MESSAGE Rob explores Hebrews 11's examples of fearless faith, revealing a key truth: faith moves when trust is all it has. Through Abraham, Noah, and Jesus in Gethsemane, he shows that fearless faith sees beyond our circumstances, moves because this is God's story, and lives with eternal perspective. Sharing about losing his father during church uncertainties, Rob illustrates how faith makes life's struggles livable through eternal hope. He challenges us to identify where we're waiting for certainty instead of stepping forward in obedience—understanding that our covenant with God means our simple "yes" unlocks His provision. Don't let fear keep you circling. Step boldly into fearless faith that transforms temporary struggles into eternal significance.   ☞ BIBLE APP NOTES https://www.bible.com/events/49608204   ☞ GROUP LEADER GUIDE https://page.church.tech/b5881f3c   ☞ NEXT STEPS

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson takes a hard look at the growing contradictions surrounding Erika Kirk and the direction of TPUSA's AmFest (or should I say IsFest). From Charlie Kirk's own recorded warnings about bad cultural role models to TPUSA turning around and platforming those very same celebrities (Nicki Minaj included) whose lifestyles openly contradict Christian teaching, the hypocrisy is no longer ignorable.We're breaking down how moral inconsistency, pop-culture appeasement, and ideological confusion are rotting the conservative movement from the inside out. America First cannot exist without Christianity first—not as a buzzword, not as branding, but as the moral and cultural foundation of who we are. And right now, we are watching our spiritual and national identity slip away in real time.When so-called Christian leaders blur lines, excuse the very behavior they once condemned, and choose influence over truth, they don't just lose credibility, they lose the plot (and they lose the people who trusted them).This episode is a call for honesty, consistency, and real conservative leadership rooted in the Christian values they claim to stand for. Not clout, not platforms, and not sinful worldliness.We don't need people playing leaders.We need actual leadership.—https://www.bible.com/

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

If you paused to consider your own faith for a moment, would you say it's a faith that can be trusted?

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Fearless Faith: Trusting Jesus in Life's Most Hopeless Moments, Part 2Series: Unveiled Scripture: Mark 5:21–43, Mark 6:1–6 Episode: 1427 Scripture Summary: In Mark 5:21–43, Jesus performs two powerful miracles that highlight His compassion and authority over life and death. First, Jairus, a synagogue leader, begs Jesus to heal his dying daughter. On the way, a woman with a 12-year bleeding condition touches Jesus' cloak in faith and is immediately healed. Jesus acknowledges her faith publicly, calling her "daughter." Meanwhile, Jairus's daughter dies, but Jesus tells him, “Don't be afraid; just believe.” Jesus goes to the house, takes the girl by the hand, and raises her from the dead, stunning everyone present. In Mark 6:1–6, Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth, where He is met with skepticism and unbelief. Though they are astonished at His wisdom and miracles, the locals reject Him because of His familiar background. As a result, Jesus performs only a few healings and is amazed at their lack of faith.

Are you running on empty in youth ministry? Stressed, comparing yourself to other churches, and wondering if you're enough? It's time to start stopping. In this episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards gets real about the pressures youth pastors, volunteers, and parents of students face—and the powerful freedom that comes when you stop trying to do it all, stop overthinking, and stop carrying results that only God can handle. Drawing from Joshua 1:9 and 1 Kings 19, Doug reveals how courage, rest, and obedience—not fear, comparison, or perfection—are what truly transform student ministry. You'll learn: ✅ Why God uses willing hearts, not polished performances. ✅ How to stop overthinking the gospel and simply ask, “Would you like to invite Jesus into your heart?” ✅ What Elijah's cave story teaches us about burnout, rest, and God's gentle whisper. ✅ Why comparing your ministry to others steals your joy and effectiveness. ✅ How to let go of fear and lead with courage.

Dr. Vitz talks about trusting when you are most anxious so you can be most present and effective. (Originally aired 01-18-2024)

With humorous stories, he has crafted the “gold standard” for making the most of our “golden years.”  In this episode of Finish Strong, he shares many of those stories.  Be prepared to laugh and learn.  After hanging out with Mark, you'll want to face the rest of your life with a renewed sense of energy and purpose.  You'll learn the secret to “dying young as old as possible.” And when your day comes to leave this world behind, you will not be afraid!Support the showFearless Faith Websiteffaith.orgTo leave a review - Open Finish Strong on the Apple Podcast app and scroll down until you see "Ratings & Reviews".

Sunday Morning Sermon 6/29/2025Psalm 27 || Fearless Faith in a Frightened World

This week on Brown Ambition, Mandi sits down with the incredible Monique Rodriguez, founder of the powerhouse haircare brand Mielle Organics and author of the new book, The Glory in Your Story: Activating a Fearless Faith to Change Your Life, Your Career, and the World. From her kitchen table to a billion-dollar acquisition by P&G, Monique's journey is a masterclass in faith, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit. This episode is for anyone who's ever faced adversity and dared to dream bigger, for the aspiring entrepreneur needing that push, and for every Black woman who knows the power of her own story and is navigating partnership in all its forms. Tune in to hear Monique's transparent take on:* The P&G acquisition: What *really* changed (and what absolutely didn't!), her non-negotiables in the deal, and her message to the community.* Staying true to her vision: How she remains CEO and the driving force behind Mielle's DNA.* The "Tariff Tea": How global trade impacts Black-owned businesses and what it could mean for your beauty budget.* Paying it Forward: How Monique and her husband, Melvin, are now angel investing in other Black-owned businesses.* Building a Brand Beyond Social Media: The power of community, networking (and a little "healthy stalking"!).* **Partnership, Femininity & Faith:** Monique shares her perspective on embracing feminine energy in leadership and dives into the often-triggering word "submission" within her marriage – what it means to her and what it absolutely doesn't.* Her new book, "The Glory in Your Story": Why she penned this powerful guide and how owning your narrative can change your life.* The complexities of sisterhood in the business world.* Balancing a billion-dollar brand, marriage (to her business partner!), and motherhood. ### Guest Spotlight:**Monique Rodriguez** is the founder and CEO of Mielle Organics, a global beauty brand she launched in 2014. A former registered nurse, Monique built Mielle from the ground up, fueled by her passion for healthy hair and her deep faith. Her brand was acquired by Procter & Gamble in 2023, with Monique remaining at the helm. She is also the author of "The Glory in Your Story: Activating a Fearless Faith to Change Your Life, Your Career, and the World." ### Key Discussion Points:* **[01:41] The P&G Acquisition Unpacked:** Monique addresses the critics, shares what it's *really* like working with a conglomerate, and why it was crucial for her to remain CEO and protect Mielle's formulas.* **[05:25] A Call for Community Support:** Monique discusses the impact of criticism on Black brands seeking investment and acquisition.* **[08:17] Leading Lady:** Monique clarifies her role – she works for Mielle and her customers, not P&G.* **[10:43] Tariffs & Your Wallet:** How international trade policies can affect the price of your favorite products.* **[13:27] From Mentee to Mentor:** The story of Richelieu Dennis's early investment and how Monique is now supporting other Black founders.* **[16:04] Faith as a Foundation:** How Monique's faith guided her through profound grief and inspired the creation of Mielle.* **[19:46] Beyond Analysis Paralysis:** Actionable advice on networking and getting your product into the right hands.* **[21:46] "The Glory in Your Story":** Monique shares the inspiration behind her new book and its message of hope and empowerment.* **[26:06] Social Media Sanity:** Monique's evolved relationship with social media and tips for maintaining balance.* **[30:19] Building Community Offline:** The importance of in-person engagement for brand growth.* **[32:00] Navigating Sisterhood & Business:** Monique's honest take on support (and lack thereof) from other women.* **[36:27] Partnership in Business & Life:** Monique shares gems on navigating business and marriage with her husband, Melvin, emphasizing grace, shared mission, complementing strengths, and respecting boundaries.* **[42:00] Feminine Energy & Redefining Submission:** Monique delves into the power of embracing her femininity in business and personal life. She offers her perspective on the biblical concept of submission in marriage, clarifying it as trusting her husband's earned leadership while retaining her voice and strength, rather than shrinking herself. Memorable Quotes:* "No one knows what goes on in that negotiating room... It's in my contract that I wanted to still be CEO and still make the decisions for the brand." - Monique Rodriguez* "When someone received the abundance of what we're complaining that we don't have, we tear them down for that... It causes investors...to now take a pause and say, 'Do we want to acquire black brands?'" - Monique Rodriguez* "I felt that God was using one of our darkest painful moments to birth purpose." - Monique Rodriguez* "Stop wandering and just go. Start going out there, meeting people...stop trying to worry or figure out how it's gonna get done because it can cause what you call analysis paralysis." - Monique Rodriguez* "No one can make fun of you for your own story if you have owned it and told it yourself." - Monique Rodriguez* "I never felt that I had to lose my softness to run a company... When you combine femininity, your power and your purpose, that is a great dynamic duo together." - Monique Rodriguez* "When women think submissive, it thinks like, I have to shrink who I am. I can't speak up... To me, it doesn't mean that I have to shrink who I am. It doesn't mean that I don't have a voice... It means that I can fully embrace being a woman and letting you lead because I trust you to lead." - Monique Rodriguez Follow Monique: https://www.instagram.com/exquisitemo/ Don't forget to subscribe to Brown Ambition for more inspiring conversations!
