What if every difficult circumstance in your life is actually God's invitation to discover a specific aspect of His character? On today's episode, Graham Cooke explores a stunning truth: God has allocated a particular Fruit of the Spirit to all negative experiences — meaning love is present with enemies, joy is constant in trials, and peace is already waiting in challenging situations. Key Scriptures:+ Matthew 5:44. But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.+ Romans 12:20. But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.+ James 1:2. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials.+ John 16:33. These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.+ John 14:27. Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.+ 2 Thessalonians 3:16. Now may the Lord of peace Himself continually grant you peace in every circumstance.+ Hebrews 10:24. And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds.Want to explore more?

What is God's will for my life? It's one of the most common—and most important—questions Christians ask. In this episode, Tripp Almon from Stand to Reason joins Dr. Jeff to tackle this profound topic. Together, they explore what Scripture reveals about God's will, how to discern it in daily life, and why our understanding of God's character is essential to the process. Whether you're facing a major decision or simply seeking to live more faithfully, this conversation will encourage and equip you to walk with clarity, confidence, and trust. Let's dive in! Tripp Almon serves as the Outpost Coordinator and a speaker with Stand to Reason. He is from Newnan, Georgia (just south of Atlanta) and now lives in Colorado with his wife, Megan, and their kids, Neely and Rogan. Tripp's passion for educating students of all ages in the areas of Christian theology, worldview, and apologetics is driven in large part from growing up in a Christian home and then struggling profoundly with the tidal wave of cultural ideas that engulfed him as he entered a secular university. Thankfully, his experience taught him that Christianity not only stands in the marketplace of ideas — it soars. Before joining Stand to Reason, Tripp, a former elite gymnast, coached gymnastics for more than two decades. He served as a pastor for 10 years, and was the Gap Year Director at Summit Ministries for 7 years. He and his family love the outdoors and adventure sports, particularly off-road motorcycling. Tripp is also a rally car co-driver with Almon Brothers Racing Team. He and his brother were 2017 champions of the NASA Rally Atlantic Cup Series. Tripp loves when he and his wife, Megan, get to speak and serve at events together.

Have you ever made Kool-Aid and noticed how the sugary goodness settles to the bottom if left unstirred? That's exactly what happens to our spiritual lives when we forget the urgency of Christ's return. In this powerful message from 2 Peter 3:8-13, we explore how easily Christians can become "settled" rather than "stirred" in their faith.Peter writes specifically to believers—not unbelievers—warning about scoffers who mock the promise of Christ's return by saying "all things continue as they were from the beginning." These "doubt evangelists" deliberately overlook God's past judgment through the flood and His promised future judgment through fire. When we adopt their thinking, even subtly, our spiritual fervor settles to the bottom of our lives.What feels like God's slowness is actually His extraordinary patience. With stunning imagery, God is depicted as still "inhaling" before the exhale of judgment, giving time for repentance. This patience isn't a sign of His inability or reluctance but of His incredible grace toward us. The day of the Lord will come "like a thief"—unexpectedly and without warning—with the heavens passing away with a roar and everything exposed.We're witnessing unprecedented spiritual movements globally: massive revivals across Africa, Asia, and South America; Bible translations reaching completion in nearly all known languages; and even young men returning to churches in America seeking godly direction. These aren't ordinary times—they're extraordinary moments calling for extraordinary faith.When asked how they feel about Christ's return, some believers responded with "fear" and "judgment" while others said "excitement" and "hope." This stark contrast reveals much about whether our faith is settled or stirred. Rather than merely waiting passively, Peter calls us to both "wait for and hasten" Christ's coming through lives of holiness and active participation in God's mission.What would change if you truly believed Jesus might return today? Would you live differently? Would your priorities shift? Don't let the spiritual nutrients of God's truth settle unused at the bottom of your life. Take up Peter's challenge to be stirred in your faith, living with joyful anticipation of the day when righteousness will dwell in new heavens and a new earth.

Being called by God to do something you feel ill-equipped to do can be somewhat of a frightening place to be. That is where Katie Lassiter, our storyteller from our Montgomery, Alabama community group, found herself when her husband approached her about becoming a foster family.   Katie was adamant she could not do it as she didn't think she was mentally strong enough.  But, as you will see in her story, when God calls you to something, He will equip you with the strength and the resources you need.    What are you being called to today? Katie's story is going to encourage you to take a step towards that calling even if you feel unprepared because the Lord will indeed empower you.   IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: - God's plan is always better than your plan. - If you feel God is calling you to something, just take one step and let Him lead. - God's grace is sufficient for you in your weakness.

Do you ever feel like you’re just trying to keep your head above water—and your faith is barely treading with you? In today’s episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol talks with author and podcast host Tara Sun about her new book Overbooked and Overwhelmed: How to Keep Up with God When You're Just Trying to Keep Up with Life. Together, they tackle the spiritual fatigue so many of us feel when life won’t slow down. They explore what it looks like to develop real spiritual resilience—not after the burnout, but in the middle of it. Tara shares her own journey of choosing presence over performance, why slowing down can actually be an act of courage, and how even small spiritual rhythms can ground us in God’s peace when everything feels urgent. Whether your faith feels stuck, stretched, or straight-up silent, this conversation will remind you that God isn’t asking you to do more—He’s inviting you to be with Him, right where you are. Discussion Questions: Tara talks about feeling spiritually stuck—how can we tell if that “stuckness” is from circumstances or from a deeper spiritual disconnect? What does it look like to bring God into our chaos, instead of waiting for quiet to meet Him? How might someone begin to untangle a life driven by expectations instead of convictions? What fear-based “yeses” might be hiding behind our overbooked calendars—and how can we trade them for faith-filled choices? How can spiritual resilience grow during burnout, rather than waiting for rest to begin healing? What is one small spiritual rhythm you could commit to this week, even in your busiest season?

This week, we’ll hear from author, certified health coach, and former QVC host Kerstin Lindquist. With a background in journalism and more than a decade in broadcast sales, Kerstin has reached millions through her work in health, wellness, and personal growth. Her journey—marked by infertility, loss, caregiving, and career pivots—inspired her to study the roots of stress and its impact on the body. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from writer, wife, and mother Kara Stout. Having faced significant personal challenges, including the loss of both her parents and a difficult journey through infertility before adopting her daughter, Kara has learned the importance of simplifying life, setting boundaries, and finding peace amid a fast-paced, often overwhelming, culture.

But I will tell you that fear, every step of the way, has been a constant companion.” - Kerstin Lindquist “If you remain in the present and next to [God], you can calm the fear. But as long as you’re remaining future-focused—what’s gonna be next, how am I gonna provide for my family, how am I gonna get over this health hurdle—then there will be fear.” - Kerstin Lindquist “I stand on stages and talk to thousands of people at a time about how to reduce stress and get closer to the Lord, hear the Lord, and combat fear. But it is a practice.” - Kerstin Lindquist “One of the big, huge ingredients to people having stress is not living out their purpose. Our purpose is always connected to the Lord and serving others. And you know without a doubt that you’re in your purpose if you feel the Lord’s presence, participation, and peace.” - Kerstin Lindquist “There really isn’t any way for us to completely rid stress from our life. But the beauty of our bodies—even if we go back and look biblically—it really does give us kind of the rule book on how to deal with things, which is why we talk about God resting. Even in the midst of stress—like at the bottom of a boat in a storm—He was still resting.” - Kerstin Lindquist “I ask myself the same questions [during my devotional time]: How are you feeling? How do I need to humble myself before the Lord? What am I grateful for? What am I praying for? What am I excited about today? What am I stressed out about today? How am I going to react to that stress? What do I have to hand over to the Lord? Who am I gonna serve today?” - Kerstin Lindquist “It was extremely difficult to have to endure the loss of both parents, but at the same time, I saw how real God was in that suffering, in that grief, and it was a gift to be able to draw near to God in that deep suffering.” - Kara Stout “Something that I felt God encouraged me to do in the early days of becoming a mother, that I continue to remind myself of today, is to recognize when I’m striving and then to simplify.” - Kara Stout “Sometimes people can become accustomed to anxiety or worry, but God gives us a different way to live—a life lived safe in His peace, despite trials and circumstances.” - Kara Stout “God does not leave us on our own to deal with life’s worries and hardships. He’s a God of compassion, and He’s there for us, always, to help us. It’s just His love that really gives us so much peace in those moments.” - Kara Stout “Though there are multiple ways our hearts can feel troubled at times, God is our ever-present, always available remedy for the troubles of our hearts.” - Kara Stout ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
