TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter invites you to join him on March 14th, day 74 of our journey through the Bible.

With thoughtful prayer and reflection, Hunter reminds us that we are invited, not to strive for perfection through law-keeping, but to participate in Christ's life through the Spirit. This episode closes with prayers for peace, guidance, and the encouragement to take next steps in faith, always grounded in the unwavering truth: you are deeply loved. So, grab your Bible and join Hunter for today's walk in the Word. TODAY'S DEVOTION: We often think of the sinful nature as all those rebellious, lawless acts—the things we know are out of bounds. And yes, Paul lists those behaviors, those outward acts that are clearly not of God. But let's not miss something subtle yet significant: sometimes, our sinful nature shows up not in lawlessness—but in how we try to justify ourselves through religious law-keeping. The church in Galatia was tempted to trust their own obedience as the measure of their righteousness before God, to rely on their ability to check every religious box. But Paul's message is unequivocal: keeping the law cannot make us righteous, because none of us can fulfill it perfectly. We all fall short. Even the most devout and well-intentioned efforts cannot bridge the gap that separates us from God's holiness. Instead of pointing us to ourselves and our striving, Paul points us to Jesus. He reminds us that our righteousness is found in Christ and in Christ alone. By the Spirit, we are drawn into the very life of Jesus—the truly Righteous One. In his life, death, and resurrection, Christ has done for us what we cannot do for ourselves. As we yield to his Spirit, we begin to walk in newness of life, not striving by our own strength, but participating in the goodness of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—the fruit of the Spirit. We lay down both our rebelliousness AND our pious attempts to justify ourselves. Instead, we fix our eyes on what God has done in Christ: how we are included, embraced, and equipped to walk in his ways, not by might, but by the Spirit. The Christian life is not a ladder of perfection we climb, but a life we receive by grace, step by step, trusting the Spirit to bring forth God's purposes in us. Let us hold to this freedom and refuse every yoke of self-made righteousness. Let's stop striving to earn what Christ has already given. May our lives be expressions of faith working through love, freed from the trap of performance, anchored instead in the love of God that claims us—full stop. This is the prayer for my soul. This is the prayer for my family—for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And this is the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Trauma therapist, pastor, and bestselling author Dr. Anita Phillips brings both clinical insight and biblical clarity to a conversation the Church desperately needs. Drawing from her book, ‘The Garden Within', she unpacks how God designed our inner world like a literal garden — where words become seeds, emotions shape the soil, thoughts grow like plants, and our lives bear fruit from whatever has taken root within us. Together, Dr. Anita and Rebecca explore why emotions are more than just feelings, how trauma rewires the brain and reshapes our beliefs, what scripture actually says about mental health, forgiveness, and why inner healing requires more than simply “thinking better thoughts.” This is a rich, eye-opening conversation for anyone longing to cultivate healing, wholeness, and emotional freedom in Christ.

Grace does not excuse sin. It breaks its power. Romans 6 explores the transformation that takes place when someone is united with Christ. Through His death and resurrection, believers move from condemnation to justification, from estrangement to reconciliation, and into the lifelong work of sanctification that will one day culminate in glorification. Paul confronts the misunderstanding that grace might permit continued sin and answers with clarity: those who belong to Christ have died to sin and been raised into new life. Baptism points to this deeper spiritual reality. The old self has been crucified, sin's authority has been broken, and believers are now called to live as people who are alive to God. Freedom in Christ is not the freedom to return to the old life but the freedom to serve a new Master. Sin leads to shame and death, but the life shaped by righteousness bears the fruit of holiness. The contrast is summed up in Paul's final declaration: the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Grace not only forgives the past. It forms a new people who walk in the life Christ has given.

 In this message from An Unlikely Lent, we explore the story of Barabbas and the surprising freedom found in the cross, where Jesus takes our place and sets us free from guilt and shame. 

This exploration of Galatians 5:1–15 challenges our view of freedom in Christ. True freedom isn't doing whatever we want—it's being empowered by grace to live rightly with the right heart. Paul warns against drifting back into performance-based religion, where we think God's acceptance depends on our spiritual record. The message of the Judaizers reminds us: you can't add to Christ without subtracting Christ.

Romans is the Apostle Paul's fullest and clearest treatise on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout history, this letter has opened eyes, awakened hearts, and set movements in motion. It's both profoundly theological and deeply personal, revealing the truth about God, humanity, and salvation. John Stott rightly called Romans a manifesto of freedom in Christ - a freedom that remakes our lives, forms us into God's people, and sends us as witnesses of Jesus in the world.

Welcome to part 1 in our new series "Sacred Design, Fierce Battle". This series is all about God's design for intimacy and sexuality. We pray that God uses this message in your life, and that through this series you find true freedom in Christ.

In this message, Pastor Micah Williams invites us into the heart of Colossians 3, where Paul calls believers to embrace the profound truth that spiritual life begins with a kind of death. Pastor Micah explores how dying to our earthly nature—our old habits, desires, and patterns of sin—is not a punitive demand but a pathway into deeper freedom in Christ. Rooted in the already‑but‑not‑yet tension of Christian formation, he names the struggle all believers face: our old ways still call to us, even after we have been made new. Yet Scripture assures us that our lives are now hidden with Christ, and genuine growth flows from allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal, confront, and transform the parts of us we might rather ignore. Through honest self‑examination, repentance, and a renewed focus on Christ, Pastor Micah reminds us that putting sin to death is not an act of despair but an act of hope—trusting that Jesus brings resurrection life to every surrendered place. This is a call to courageous discipleship, rooted in grace, so that we may increasingly reflect the image of our Creator.

There is in the heart of man a yearning for freedom. We resist arbitrary and abusive authority; and there is a tendency in our culture to desire independence. Ironically, the pursuit of freedom from God enslaves to values that don't satisfy. What we really need is freedom in Christ. We need to discover the grace of God in the gospel that frees us through Christ from the world's influence, liberalism and legalism, and frees us from the penalty, power, and ultimately presence of sin. So that you can be free to experience contentment in Christ (rest for your soul). Let's explore the gospel of grace and find freedom in Christ…We upload our message only version to our church app. If you would like to view this week's entire worship service you can find it by clicking the available link.

In week three of our series Escape the Trap, Pastor Chris Zauner explores one of the hardest kinds of offense to deal with—being hurt by someone in authority. Whether it's a parent, pastor, boss, or mentor, wounds from leaders can shape how we view trust, leadership, and even our relationship with God.Through the story of David and King Saul, this message shows how David chose to trust God instead of taking revenge, even when he had every opportunity to do so. His response reveals why Scripture calls him a man after God's own heart.This sermon challenges us to release bitterness, lay down the “spears” of resentment and revenge, and trust God to handle justice. When we surrender our offense to Him, we can experience the freedom that comes from following Jesus as our true King.Escape the Trap – Week 3: Offended by Authority teaches how honoring God, even in painful situations with leadership, can shape our character and lead us into deeper freedom in Christ.

In this episode of the The Debrief Podcast, Matthew Stephen Brown and Tammy Brown address questions about spiritual attacks, disturbing dreams, and whether someone can lose their soul. From wrestling with lust in dreams to wondering if past spiritual decisions have caused permanent damage, this conversation explores spiritual warfare, freedom in Christ, and the hope of redemption.

Send a text For four chapters, he has been laying down argument after argument, Scripture after Scripture, illustration after illustration, pleading with them not to return to the bondage of the law....  But now the question he asks becomes: If we're not going back to the law, then what kind of life do we live now?Beginning in chapter 5 — and running through the rest of the letter — he finally explains it in detail.  This is the start of the practical section of Galatians. This is where Paul tells us what to put in place of the law. This is where he shows us how to live as people who have been set free….RISE RADIOEach week we discuss some of the most important issues we face in our society today.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showFollow and support me on Patreon.

March 06 2026 Friday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 16 Made Perfect #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Mary welcomes Melissa Huray to the podcast to talk about true freedom in Christ. Melissa has dedicated the last 15 years to helping people with addictions find freedom through Jesus Christ. She is an Emmy award winning news reporter and anchor, and an addiction counselor with a Masters in Physiology. She is the Executive Director at the Lindell Recovery Network. Her books include Blackout to Blessing and Radical Freedom. She also hosts the Hope Report podcast. Today we look at her testimony of a dysfunctional family and the emptiness she felt as a youth. The deadly cost of gambling on alcohol’s temporary relief brought multiple arrests, harrowing car crashes, and many attempts to quit. She couldn’t save herself – but ultimately put her trust in the One who could set her free from all the pain. God has used her mightily and we talk about a God Who uses our darkest seasons to bring light to others.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

What does it really mean to be free from sin? Many people misunderstand grace, thinking freedom in Christ means sin no longer matters. But the Apostle Paul teaches the opposite—grace does not remove responsibility; it changes our master. In this episode, we explore Romans 6:14–23 and Romans 7:7, where Paul explains the contrast between slavery to sin and slavery to righteousness. Sin promises freedom but pays wages that lead to death. God, however, offers a gift—eternal life through Jesus Christ. We'll also address the purpose of God's law. Paul asks a powerful question: Is the law sin? His answer helps us understand that the law reveals sin, but Christ delivers us from its power. This episode will help listeners see the difference between earning death through sin and receiving life through grace, and how true freedom in Christ leads to a transformed life.

What if the ache you carry—the insecurity, the anxiety, the quiet sense of being “not enough”—is rooted in a lie you didn't even know you believed?

What can we learn about freedom in Christ from the Parable of the Prodigal Son? The Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller (Pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church and Jesus Deaf Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas) joins Andy and Sarah for part one of a three-part series on his new book Finally Free: Lessons in the Parable of the Prodigal Son from Concordia Publishing House. He shares his first memory of learning about the Parable of the Prodigal Son, what the parable teaches us about who Jesus is, in what way we are slaves, how the illusion of sin as freedom has shaped our culture, where we see contrition in this parable, and the first freedom we have in Christ. Find Finally Free at cph.org/finally-free-three-lessons-in-the-parable-of-the-prodigal-son. Find more content from Rev. Wolfmueller at youtube.com/wolfmueller1 and wolfmueller.co.  As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let's be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world.

March 04 2026 Wednesday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 16 His Great Mercy #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

Deliverance is one of the most misunderstood topics in the Church. For some, it feels extreme. For others, it feels unnecessary. For many, it simply feels intimidating.In this conversation, Jake Kail brings clarity and biblical balance to what deliverance actually is — and what it is not. This episode is not about sensationalism or fear. It is about understanding spiritual authority and walking in lasting freedom.In this discussion, we cover:• What spiritual oppression really looks like• The difference between hype and healthy biblical practice• Why some struggles persist despite prayer and discipline• How authority in Christ functions in everyday life• How ordinary Christians can minister freedom to others• And yes, we address the debated question of whether believers can experience demonic oppressionMore than controversy, this episode is about confidence. Deliverance is not reserved for specialists. It is not about dramatic manifestations. It is about freedom in Christ.GET JAKE'S BOOK Setting Captives Free ⇨ https://amzn.to/46oebXKREACH JAKE on his website ⇨ https://jakekail.com/-----------------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give--------------------------✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contac--------------------------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith------------------------✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

Pastor Scott Martin continues our springs series on the New Testament Book of Galatians!

We Have Been Set Free 1 Corinthians 6:12 “ All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.” The prayer point for the healing service team today is to free the captives. This instantly made me think of my friend who I am praying for this week. I have asked those I know to give me a Bible verse, and I will assign a different verse to each week of the year. Then I will pray for that person during the week I have assigned their verse. This week, I am praying for my friend, and instead of praying for her, she has asked for prayers for an urgent ceasefire in Gaza and for food and medical aid to reach the sick and injured. When I read the Captives this morning, I thought of all of those who were captured in the Gaza Strip many months ago. Then, when I started reading the scripture verses we were given, I realized there are many ways that we can be held captive. Some of us are physically held captive, like those in war-torn countries, those who were abducted and forced into human trafficking of all kinds. There are also many of us who are held captive by our own beliefs, addictions, or wants and desires.   This morning, while I was reading over the various verses, I asked the Lord to highlight the one he wanted me to talk about. I asked Him to make it clear to me. He actually highlighted two verses. The first one that jumped out was the verse above. 1 Corinthians 6:12 says, “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.” I thought this was particularly fitting for today since yesterday was Ash Wednesday, and so Lent has just begun. Lent can be a difficult time of year because it is a time of sacrifice. It can also be a sad time of year as we remember all Christ went through to save us from our sins, to save us from ourselves. Lent is also a great time of year to show ourselves that we don't have to be controlled by our wants and our desires. We get the chance to show God that although we love chocolate, wine, alcohol, beer, swearing, desserts, TV, or whatever else we decide to give up, we don't let them as much as we love HIm. We get to show ourselves that it is ok to deny ourselves something we want and that when we do we will be even more stronger for it. I have a friend named Sarah Jane. I remember she came over to my house one time, and I asked if she wanted a brownie. She said she gave up chocolate for the month. It wasn't lent so I asked her why she gave it up. She said each month, she gives something up for the month to show herself she can and so that she does not get too attached to anything. This is an awesome idea. I actually did this for a few months last year, but I don't think I made it past May. I do think it is important that we know that just because we can do something doesn't mean we should do it. It also doesn't mean it is good for us. If we want to be holy, we must go beyond the letter of the law. This is what the Sadducees and Pharisees were doing. They were following the letter of the law but not the spirit of the law. They were so focused on doing things perfectly that they lost all sight of what God was really about. They forgot about the love God had for His people. They forgot about His mercy. They got caught up in all the laws and the rules and somehow got lost. What I felt the Lord wanted me to remind you of today is that you do not have to become slaves to things of this world. The second scripture He highlighted to me is Galatians 5:1, which says, “For freedom, Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.” This shows us that we have a choice. Before Jesus came to save us, we had fewer choices. Before Jesus came, we had the laws to tell us what we should do, but we didn't have the Holy Spirit inside of us to give us the strength to resist the things that were not good for us. Then Jesus came, and He died on the cross to set us free from sin. Then He went to be with His Father, and they sent the Holy Spirit to be with us so we would no longer be left on our own. Because of this, we no longer have to accept the yoke of slavery. Because of this, we have been set free. However, this does not mean that we are all free. We must make a choice to be free. We have to decide that our freedom in Christ is worth more than that cookie, that drink, that drug, that extramarital affair. Christ died so we could be free, but we still have to choose to be free. God has given us free will and He won't force us to follow Him or to love Him. He won't force us to choose Him. We have to do that on our own.  Well, not really on our own because He gave us the power of the Holy Spirit living inside of us. We can rely on that power. We do need to make the choice, but then we can rely on the Holy Spirit to help us keep that freedom. We can rely on the Holy Spirit to help us stay on the path we want to be on. When we feel like we want to be free of something and yet we don't think we can, we can't see a way to give it up. We can call on the Holy Spirit. We can ask the Holy Spirit to take away the desire for this thing. We can ask the Holy Spirit to come and give us strength. We can say, “Come, Holy Spirit, come.” The enemy wants us to think we don't have a choice. He wants us to think we can't do the hard thing. We can't give up drinking. We can't give up the drugs, the affairs, the food. The devil is a liar. Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It doesn't say some things, and it says all things. You can do all things because you have the mighty power of Jesus living inside of you. All you have to do is call upon that power. So, this Lenten season, let's remember that we are no longer slaves to our desires. Whatever you gave up for lent, it may seem like it is going to be a long 40 days. You might be thinking about it and thinking there is no way you make it 40 days without that thing. If so, remember that you are not dominated by anything. You are a free son or daughter of Christ and of the one true God. You can do anything with Christ! You have been set free! Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, you are truly amazing. We are so grateful you sent your son to set us free. We owe you a debt we could never pay, so we offer you these 40 days as a small token of our love for you. Please help us through these next 40 days. We ask that you help us every day. Lord, remind us when we forget that nothing will dominate us. Remind us when we forget that we do not have to accept the yoke of slavery. Remind us of your love and mercy each time we forget. We love you so much, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name. Amen! Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Are we ignoring the most important issues of justice while fighting over trivial things? In this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike and Tim tackle the heavy reality of the Epstein files and the church's response to systemic injustice. Join us for an honest conversation about anger, accountability, and a powerful message on faith. ⚖️ JUSTICE AND THE EPSTEIN FILES Things get serious as Mike reads a phenomenal post by Pastor Brian Drinkwine. We dive deep into the recent news surrounding the Epstein files, the Department of Justice, and political figures. ⛪ THE CHURCHS RESPONSE This is a raw look at how American Christianity has become skilled at straining gnats and swallowing camels. Why do we go to war over church carpet colors but stay silent on the exploitation of the vulnerable? We discuss the heartbreak of losing trust in leaders and the challenge of Matthew 20. Jesus asks if we can drink the cup of reckoning without rushing to defend our political tribes. THE POWERS AND PRINCIPALITIES Then, Mike and Tim explore the concept of powers and principalities, the wisdom of God versus human wisdom, and redefine what freedom in Christ truly means. The conversation is rich with personal reflections, cultural critiques, and a call to action for listeners to engage with the world around them.

Monday, March 2, 2026E13: Freedom Through DisciplineIntroduction:True freedom is found in living according to God's will. Join me as I guide you through a moment of spiritual reflection and growth.Scripture Reading:1 Peter 2:15-16Meditation:Find a quiet space free from distractions and focus on your breathing, inviting the presence of God, centering your hearts to hear God's word.Reflection Prompts:Let's reflect on how you use your Freedom:1. How do you define true freedom in Christ?2. In what ways are you using your freedom to do good and honor God?3. Are there areas in your life where you need to exercise more discipline to find true freedom?I invite you to join me daily in this sacred journey of Lent. I encourage you to embrace the transformative power of God's grace in your life.The best way you can support this podcast is by taking a few moments to RATE & REVIEW on your podcast app. This will ensure this podcast is visible to more listeners.Also, if you desire additional faithful inspiration beyond this podcast, follow me on Instagram @_bythewell. There, we can continue our journey together, sharing reflections, thoughts, and moments of spiritual connection.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/_bythewell/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Note: Each episode of "Seasons By the Well: Lenten Reflections and Meditations" will follow a similar format, providing daily reflections, guided meditations, and opportunities for personal growth throughout the Lenten season.

In Part Three of our Overcomers series, Breaking Chains, we move beyond simply recognizing the spiritual battle and begin talking about real freedom. Jesus did not come to help us manage bondage, He came to destroy it. In this message, we look at how freedom in Christ begins with a decisive moment of faith, but must be walked out daily through surrender and obedience. If you're tired of cycles that keep repeating, habits that feel unbreakable, or lies that keep you bound, this message will encourage you: freedom is not rare, and it is not reserved for a few, it is your inheritance in Christ.

In Part 3 of We Walk by Faith, Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges us with one powerful question: What did God say? If faith begins by believing what we heard, then it continues by standing firmly on what God has spoken in His Word. From provision in Matthew 6 to freedom in Christ, from peace in the Holy Spirit to strength in spiritual battles, Pastor Daniel reminds us that God's promises come with both His part and ours. We seek first His Kingdom. We submit and resist. We humble ourselves and pray. And He moves.This message walks through practical, real life faith for provision, freedom from temptation, mental health, healing, our nation, and even enduring hardship. God does not waste pain. He works all things for good. When He speaks, His Word is not empty. It accomplishes what He desires.

March 02 2026 Monday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 16 Righteous Character In Him #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

Romans is the Apostle Paul's fullest and clearest treatise on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Throughout history, this letter has opened eyes, awakened hearts, and set movements in motion. It's both profoundly theological and deeply personal, revealing the truth about God, humanity, and salvation. John Stott rightly called Romans a manifesto of freedom in Christ - a freedom that remakes our lives, forms us into God's people, and sends us as witnesses of Jesus in the world.

False teachers don't just get theology wrong — they enslave their followers. In this exposition of 2 Peter 2:19-20, Pastor Jim Osman examines three devastating contrasts Peter draws to expose the destruction false teachers leave in their wake: the contrast between freedom and slavery, between escaping and being entangled again, and between a person's last state and their first.False teachers promise liberation while they themselves are in chains. Enslaved to their own corrupt desires, they traffic in a counterfeit freedom — one that removes all moral restraint and feeds the flesh. Their message is ancient. It's the same lie Satan told Eve in the garden, the same libertinism Paul confronted in Rome and Corinth, the same antinomian spirit behind the sexual revolution. And it still seduces today.Peter's warning cuts deep: those who escape the defilements of the world through a surface-level knowledge of Christ, only to be drawn back in by false teaching, end up worse off than before. Their nature was never changed. They reformed outwardly. But when the false teacher appealed to the flesh that was still very much alive, they were entangled again — and now they head to judgment with more light, and more guilt, than they had before.This passage is a clarion call for discernment. Know the danger. Don't let your guard down. And above all, know the freedom that is real — not the permission to serve your lusts, but the power to deny them. ★ Support this podcast ★

1 Cor 9 The Power of Voluntary Surrender is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. What if the greatest proof of your freedom is what you're willing to give up? You have rights. But what if love calls you to lay them down? In this week's episode, we step into 1 Corinthians 9 and wrestle with a hard question: Just because I can… does that mean I should? Paul proves he deserves support, authority, and recognition then willingly gives it all up for the sake of the gospel. Not because he has to. Because he loves. This chapter confronts our comfort. Our entitlement. Our desire to be served instead of to serve. Freedom in Christ isn't about self-expression, it's about self-sacrifice. It's choosing surrender over status. Discipline over disqualification. Gospel over ego. If you've ever struggled with letting go of your “rights”… If you've ever wondered what mature faith really looks like… This conversation will challenge you deeply. Love limits liberty. Love surrenders rights. And serious faith runs to win.

What happens when someone who helped lead a Satanic church meets Jesus face-to-face?In this powerful episode of the Men's Alliance Podcast, Riaan Swiegelaar and Adele Vrey from DeliveranceHUB share their journey out of Satanism, the occult, and ritual abuse—and into freedom in Christ. They explain how deception works inside Satanism, why Satan does not “take care of” his followers, and how the enemy ultimately destroys those who serve him.You'll hear firsthand how occult practices operate behind closed doors, why many Satanists don't realize what they're truly stepping into, and how radical encounters with Jesus change everything. This conversation challenges Christians to take spiritual warfare seriously while staying rooted in prayer, Scripture, and the authority of Christ.This episode is a wake-up call about spiritual deception, the power of Christ, and why the Church cannot afford to stay asleep.Check out Riaan and Adele's ministry - https://deliverance4me.orgRegister for the Clover Hill Wild Game Supper - https://cloverhill-church.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3395051Register for the Leadership Summit 2026 - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/training/leadership⸻Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador's Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

1 Cor 10 – Find Freedom Without Failure is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast. In 1 Corinthians 9, Paul surrendered his rights for the sake of the gospel. In 1 Corinthians 10, he gives a warning: spiritual privilege does not guarantee spiritual success. Israel saw miracles. They experienced God's presence. Yet many still fell. Why? Because experiences don't replace obedience. In this episode, we talk about: Why freedom requires humility The real danger of idolatry and pride How temptation works—and what the “way of escape” truly means (v.13) Why everyday choices reveal spiritual allegiance You can't live at the Lord's Table and the table of demons. Freedom in Christ is real but it demands watchfulness. Listen now and learn how to live in freedom without drifting into failure.

What if the freedom you want starts with owning what you've been hiding?   This week on The Breakdown Podcast, we sat down with Pastor James to break down his message "Own The Mess," rooted in 1 John 1:9. We talk about the battle between sin and obedience, why hiding keeps you stuck, and how confession leads to real freedom in Christ.   Freedom doesn't come from managing your mess—it comes from bringing it into the light. Jesus doesn't run from your struggle. He meets you in it. And when you confess instead of conceal, you step into the forgiveness and freedom He already paid for.   If you're wrestling with guilt, shame, or patterns you can't seem to break, this conversation will help you take a practical step toward lasting spiritual freedom. Everyone helping someone take steps to follow Christ. This is the vision of Journey Church, led by Pastor James Hilton, with multiple locations throughout Central Florida. https://journeyconnect.org ____ Stay Connected Website: https://journeyconnect.org Facebook: http://facebook.com/journeyconnect Instagram: https://instagram.com/journeyconnect/ To support Journey Church's mission and help us transform lives both locally and globally, visit: https://journeyconnect.org/giving #journeychurch #jameshilton

In Week 7 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Matt Piland addresses a vital question: How do we actually live out the life God has called us to? Many of us treat our faith like a car loan—believing Jesus made the "down payment" on the cross, but that it's now our job to sustain the monthly payments through sheer willpower and "trying harder." Drawing from Galatians 5, Pastor Matt breaks down the difference between legalism and true freedom in Christ. Following Jesus isn't about a factory-style production of "being good"; it's about a garden-style growth that comes through the Holy Spirit. If you've been feeling spiritually exhausted by your own human effort, this message is a call to stop trying to maintain in the flesh what was only ever meant to be completed by the Holy Spirit.

In Episode 217, Ken Pounders shares how God used faithful men and biblical discipleship to transform his life from addiction to freedom in Christ. Reflecting on the mentors who poured into him during his early walk with the Lord, Ken explains why lasting change doesn't happen in isolation but through intentional relationships rooted in Scripture, prayer, patience, personal investment, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:2 and his own journey through Outreach Ministries of Alabama, he challenges listeners to both seek godly voices who can speak into their lives and become disciples who multiply faith in others.

In this message, Justin explores the high-stakes narrative of Acts 21, where the Apostle Paul's message of freedom in Christ is dangerously twisted by religious traditionalists. Drawing a parallel to the classic "one in a million" misunderstanding from Dumb and Dumber, Justin highlights how rumors and "gospel math" can turn grace into a perceived cultural betrayal. He challenges listeners to examine their own beliefs, emphasizing that salvation is found in Jesus plus nothing else.Subscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Download a copy of the Exodus JournalVisit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com

Have you ever felt the weight of religious rules overshadowing the freedom Christ died to give you? In Acts 15, we witness a pivotal moment where Paul and Barnabas confront those adding burdens to new believers. Pastor Jeff unpacks how the early church protected the pure gospel—Jesus plus nothing—against legalism that threatened to complicate God's simple plan of grace. Through compelling stories and biblical truth, he reveals how wisdom protects both our freedom in Christ and fellowship with others, while keeping the mission first. Whether you're wrestling with religious expectations or seeking authentic faith, this message illuminates the path to walking in true spiritual liberty. Don't miss this transformative teaching that will revolutionize how you view grace, fellowship, and God's call on your life. Speaker: Jeff Schwarzentraub
