Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# In this prophetic spiritual warfare message, Kathy DeGraw exposes the python spirit—the demonic force that comes to constrict your breath, silence your prophetic voice, and keep you spiritually stagnant. Drawing from Acts 16 and years of deliverance ministry, Kathy shows how python partners with witchcraft, infirmity, respiratory issues, and even stroke-like symptoms to choke out your destiny and keep you from prayer, worship, and the Word. If you've felt constantly tired, prayerless, unable to read your Bible, or like your spiritual hunger has dried up, this may be more than "laziness." Kathy reveals how past occult involvement, Halloween participation, horoscopes, counterfeit prophecy, and curiosity about "Christian fortune-telling" can open doors to python and other strongman spirits like Jezebel and Leviathan. You will be challenged to stop chasing every prophetic word, shut demonic entry points, and return to the secret place where true deliverance happens. As Kathy shares real stories of witchcraft attacks, medically verified healing miracles, and the power of anointing oil, you'll be equipped to cut off the head of the snake, reclaim your breath, and walk in freedom, healing, and bold prophetic authority in Jesus' name. #PythonSpirit #SpiritualWarfare #Deliverance #KathyDeGraw #PropheticVoice **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/ Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - - Receive a free prayer pdf on Warfare Prayer Declarations at https://kathydegrawministries.org/declarations-download - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

The Birth of Isaac | Genesis 21:1–21 | Pastor Zach Terry God always keeps His promises — even when it seems impossible. In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks through the long-awaited birth of Isaac, the child of promise, and contrasts it with the birth of Ishmael, the child of human effort. From this moment in Genesis, two paths emerge: the path of faith or the path of the flesh. One is born of God's divine power, the other from human will. Every person must ask—which path am I on?

December 03 2025 Wednesday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 03 Freedom In Jesus #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.'

"How does Galatians 4 shape our understanding of Christian freedom today? How do we understand the tension between the ‘works of the flesh' and the ‘fruit of the Spirit,' and what does this practically look like in the life of a believer? In Galatians 6, Paul talks about bearing one another's burdens, not growing weary in doing good, and reaping what we sow. How do these instructions fit into Paul's larger argument about freedom in Christ and life in community? In today's episode, Director of Discipleship for the Porch, Tyler Moffett, discusses Galatians 4-6 and what it looks like to be fully formed by Christ, the fruit of the Spirit, and how we can experience full freedom through Christ.

In this Advent message, we see why God gave the law and how it points us to Jesus. The law reveals our sin, shows our need for a Savior, and serves as a guardian until Christ came. Because salvation is by faith, not by our obedience, we are free to love God's law as our guide to joy and true freedom in Christ. #LibertiHarrisburg #Advent #Galatians3 #LawAndGospel
RESTORATION. If you've been hurt by people in the church and asked, “God, where are You in all this pain?”—this conversation is for you. Today, author Anna Vaughn shares her story from Caught in the Crossfire: how subtle gaslighting, manipulation, and control crept into a ministry she loved… and how the Lord led her into healing, RESTORATION, and freedom in Christ.Anna grew up loving Jesus and serving in ministry. Over time, the joy turned into anxiety and panic attacks as spiritual abuse surfaced—“break them down, build them up”—a cycle designed to control. The turning point? A simple, Spirit-led word from her dad: “If you never do anything in ministry again, God still loves you.” That truth shattered the lie that her worth depended on performance. From there, Anna walked through inner healing, discerned narcissistic control, found accountability, and—when God's grace for that place lifted—she left. God didn't end her story. He restored it.

Imagine standing before a judge, knowing you're guilty, the evidence overwhelming, your failure undeniable. Just as you're about to confess, someone steps between you and the bench, declaring 'not guilty' on your behalf. This is the breathtaking reality Romans 8 reveals to us. We journey from the depths of Romans 7, where we wrestle with our own wretchedness and ask 'who will deliver me from this body of death?' to the triumphant declaration that there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus. This isn't just theological theory—it's the lived tension we all experience. We're still in the flesh, still breathing sinful air, still struggling with why we do what we don't want to do. Yet the Spirit of the living God dwells within us. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in our mortal bodies. We're called to set our minds not on the flesh, which leads to death, but on the Spirit, which brings life and peace. This means diving deep into God's Word, letting it dwell richly in us, gathering with other believers to encourage one another, and learning to cry out when we don't even have words—trusting that the Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for utterance. We're not elevated or special; we're simply people in whom God chooses to dwell, and that changes everything about how we live each ordinary day.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- The speaker, Pastor Will, introduces the series on the book of Romans, specifically focusing on Romans chapter 8.- Emphasizes the significance of Romans 8 as one of the most important chapters in the Bible.**Key Points:**1. **Courtroom Analogy:** - Illustration of a courtroom scene where one is guilty but Jesus steps in, declaring "not guilty." - Romans 8:1 states, "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus."2. **All Are Guilty:** - Romans 3:23 states all have sinned and fall short. - No hierarchy in Christianity; all are equal before God.3. **No Condemnation:** - Only those in Christ are free from condemnation. - The law exposes sin, highlighting the need for Jesus.4. **Freedom in Christ:** - Those in Christ are set free from the law of sin and death. - Galatians 2:20 discusses living by faith in Christ, not by flesh.5. **Spirit vs. Flesh:** - Believers live in the tension between flesh and Spirit. - Setting the mind on the flesh leads to death, the Spirit leads to life and peace.6. **Holy Spirit's Presence:** - Romans 8:9 emphasizes the Spirit dwelling in believers. - The Spirit is essential; without Him, one does not belong to Christ.7. **Dwelling in the Spirit:** - The Spirit wants to dwell in us, impacting every aspect of life. - Importance of being in God's Word and fellowship for spiritual growth. - Colossians 3:16 encourages letting the word of Christ dwell in us.8. **Prayer and the Spirit's Help:** - The Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don't have the words. - Romans 8:26 highlights the Spirit's aid in our weakness.**Practical Applications:**1. **Embrace Your Position in Christ:** - Live with the assurance that you are no longer condemned if you are in Christ. - Reflect on the courtroom analogy when guilt arises.2. **Cultivate Mindset on the Spirit:** - Regularly engage with scripture; let it shape your thoughts and actions. - Seek spiritual fellowship and accountability within the church community.3. **Invite the Holy Spirit to Indwell You:** - Begin each day in prayer, asking for the Holy Spirit's guidance and presence. - Make time for worship and reflection, allowing God to dwell in your daily life.4. **Rely on the Spirit in Weakness:** - When struggling, trust that the Holy Spirit intercedes even when words fail. - Be persistent in prayer and quiet time with God.**Discussion Questions:**1.

Facing Your Old Nature Again – Genesis 20 Why do the sins we thought we'd buried sometimes resurface? In Genesis 20, Abraham faces an old fear, repeats an old lie, and almost jeopardises God's promise. Yet God steps in with astonishing grace — protecting, confronting, and restoring His faltering servant. In this message, Pastor Ian Buckley walks us through Abraham's relapse and shows how God meets us in our own recurring battles. Learn how to recognise old patterns, reject the mind games that justify sin, and walk in the power of the Spirit so the old nature loses its voice.

In today's episode, Nancy continues the Birthright or Bitterness series with a compelling and prophetic call to maturity. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and Romans 1:5, she exposes how unresolved conflict, bitterness, and prolonged spiritual infancy create open doors for imposters, manipulation, and deception—even within religious settings. This isn't just about trauma recovery or emotional healing; it's about the deep work of transformation through the finished work of the Cross. Nancy urges listeners to live as sons unto the Father, not as orphans shaped by unmet needs and bitterness. If you're tired of cycles of confusion, creature worship, or false promises wrapped in religious language, this episode offers piercing clarity and direction.

November 28 2025 Friday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 02 Blindness Removed #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.'

His letter to the Galations is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. Paul begins by setting forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God: blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law. The law declares men guilty and imprisons them; faith sets men free to enjoy liberty in Christ. But liberty is not license.

Chance and Katie Butts of LifeQuest USA visit with Jim Williams about their ministry’s focus on mentoring young people to help break the chains of generational incarceration. Chance as a young man is the perfect example of how a person can experience freedom in Christ from sin and habits that are more often than not, passed down from generation to generation. The success of the ministry is limited only by the number of volunteer mentors they can train to encourage young people that need to “disrupt their current way of thinking” according to Katie. Volunteer mentors help support Bible studies, GED Tutoring, character development, recovery groups, the 4:13 Journey, and other special events. Chance said, “Mentors invest in young people to form life long friendships with the young people they work with. Detailed information about LifeQuest USA is available at https://www.lifequestusa.org.

November 24 2025 Monday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 02 Freed From Sin #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.'

His letter to the Galations is a vigorous attack against the gospel of works and a defense of the gospel of faith. Paul begins by setting forth his credentials as an apostle with a message from God: blessing comes from God on the basis of faith, not law.

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.
Looking at Paul's teaching that the true freedom comes not from self-rule or performance, but from Christ's children redemption, our adoption as God's children, and the Spirit's witness that we are fully known and loved.

We all have good intentions that keep colliding with reality. In this episode, we walk through Romans 7 to unpack the war within every believer, why willpower isn't enough, and how the Holy Spirit leads us from frustration into real freedom in Christ.
In this powerful interview, Isaiah Saldivar sits down with best-selling author Alexander Pagani to discuss his brand-new book, Manipulated: 10 Toxic Traits of Legalism. Pagani exposes how legalistic churches can twist Scripture, use fear and control to dominate believers, and replace the grace of Jesus with man-made rules.Drawing from his own experience in a cult-like denomination, Pagani reveals how legalism stifles spiritual growth, damages relationships, and leads to spiritual bondage. You'll learn how to identify manipulation in leadership, break free from religious control, and rediscover the true gospel of grace, love, and freedom in Christ.Get The Book here https://a.co/d/efkbFl8To sow into this stream Monthly/ONE time/ https://bit.ly/2NRIBcM PAYPAL https://shorturl.at/eJY57www.Isaiahsaldivar.comwww.Instagram.com/Isaiahsaldivarwww.Facebook.com/Isaiahsaldivarwww.youtube.com/IsaiahsaldivarOrder My New Book, "How To Cast Out Demons," Here! https://a.co/d/87NYEfcTo sow www.Isaiahsaldivar.com/partner

In this episode of the Jesus Everyday Podcast, Ethan Callison, Josh Horne, and Andrew McPheron dive into John 7:25–36, a passage filled with tension, misunderstanding, and urgency.As Jesus teaches in the temple during the Feast of Booths, confusion swirls among the people and the religious leaders. Some think He's the Messiah. Others think He can't be. And Jesus' words cut through their speculation:“You will seek Me, and you will not find Me. Where I am, you cannot come.”
Freedom is one of the most beautiful blessings we enjoy—but it's also one of the most misunderstood. In this Raising Godly Girls Podcast episode, hosts Melissa Bearden and Natalie Ambrose unpack the true meaning of freedom from a Biblical Worldview perspective and explore how to help your daughter see both the cost and the calling behind it. As our nation pauses to honor Veterans Day, Melissa and Natalie remind listeners that freedom is not just a national treasure—it's a Gospel truth. Drawing from Galatians 5:1 and John 15:13, they invite parents to teach their daughters that the liberty we celebrate as Americans mirrors an even greater liberty purchased for us in Christ. Through faith-filled storytelling, discussion about military chaplains, and reflection on American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Patti Garibay's Raising Godly Girls Minute, this episode points families toward gratitude, humility, and spiritual clarity in an age of confusion about what "freedom" truly means. From honoring veterans in your community to helping your daughter understand the weight of sacrifice and the joy of service, this episode equips parents to cultivate both patriotism and discipleship—reminding us that true freedom is found not in doing what we want, but in living for the One who set us free. Three Things to Remember This Week Freedom isn't free. Use everyday moments—like Veterans Day ceremonies—to remind your girl of the sacrifices made for her freedom, both earthly and eternal. Anchor her view of liberty in Scripture. Teach her that freedom without Christ leads to confusion, but freedom in Christ leads to love and service. Model a heart of gratitude and honor. Let your family's actions toward veterans, leaders, and neighbors reflect a deep respect for God's gift of freedom. Scripture References in This Episode Galatians 5:1 – "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free." Galatians 5:13 – "Do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." John 15:13 – "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." Philippians 2:3–4 – "In humility value others above yourselves… look to the interests of others." Exodus 32:32 – Moses' intercession as a model of sacrificial leadership.

In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with someone extra special—Stephanie's sister-in-law, Lydia Lusby! Born and raised in Statesboro, Georgia, as a pastor's kid with three older brothers, Lydia knows what it's like to grow up in the thick of church life. Today, she and her husband, Jeremiah, call Missouri home, where she works as a customer service assistant and appliance retail manager at Lightwise—and serves faithfully at her local church as both a worship leader and small group leader.Lydia opens up about her journey through the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) Church, sharing how the weight of strict rules and gender expectations once shaped—and nearly broke—her faith. She gets real about the pain of witnessing hypocrisy and control within the church, the season when she walked away, and the powerful way God met her in that space to bring healing, grace, and true freedom in Jesus.This conversation is raw, redemptive, and full of hope for anyone who's ever confused religion with relationship.Takeaways:Growing up in a strict religious environment can distort our view of God.Legalism often leads to shame, fear, and burnout.Walking away from religion doesn't mean walking away from God.Jesus invites us into grace, not guilt.Healing from church hurt is possible.Freedom in Christ brings joy, authenticity, and peace.Join us for this powerful story of redemption and grace—you'll leave encouraged, challenged, and reminded that Jesus is better than religion every single time.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast for November 9th, 2024. In today's episode, Hunter invites us into a thoughtful reflection on freedom, faith, and the journey of becoming who we are meant to be in Christ. We explore passages from Job 34 and 1 Corinthians 4 through 6, considering themes of justice, humility, and the transformative power of God's love. As Hunter leads us in prayer and meditation, we're reminded that true freedom is not autonomy, but living fully in the presence and design of God. We're encouraged to honor God not only with our words, but with our bodies and our lives. This episode is a soul-nourishing reminder of what it means to belong to God, to seek His kingdom, and to let His joy be our strength. Whether you're tuning in for a fresh start to your day or seeking wisdom for your spiritual walk, you'll find encouragement, challenge, and hope in today's episode. Let's join Hunter at the well of God's life-giving water and remember together: you are loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You are free, my friend. But our freedom in Christ doesn't mean autonomy or abolition from all restraint on the self. No, it means that we are free in Christ. He has freed us to live in Him—the One who is the origin of our original design, the rock from which we have been hewn, the quarry from which we have come. And as we gaze upon him, we begin to see who we really are. The family resemblance begins to shine through, and we begin to honor God even in our bodies. May the Holy Spirit awaken our minds and our hearts to the reality of who we are and to whom we belong—that we might live to the praise and glory of the One who has set us free. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that 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.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this November 7th, 2024 episode, Hunter guides us through day 311 of our journey in Scripture. Today, we read from Job 31 and 32, hearing Job's heartfelt protest of innocence and Elihu's passionate reply. Then we dive into Galatians chapters 5 and 6, where Paul calls us to freedom in Christ and reminds us that what truly matters is becoming a new creation, living by the principle of the cross and expressing our faith through love. Join Hunter as he reflects on what it means to be transformed by God's love, leads us in prayer, and encourages us to live out this truth in daily life—building our lives on Jesus and remembering that we are deeply loved. Settle in as we open our hearts to God's Word and let His grace transform us together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's a matter of principle. For followers of Jesus, there is a motivating principle that surpasses all others—the cross. In today's reading, we're reminded by Paul that it is not religious piety, not personal aspirations, achievements, or even politics, that form the foundation of our life. These things may have their place, they may serve the world in certain ways, but they are not what we are called to live by, or live for. Paul declares, "May I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." The cross stands as the central principle—the banner under which we live. Because of the cross, our interest in the fleeting things of this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in us has died. What matters most is whether we have been transformed into a new creation in Christ. This new creation was made possible at the cross, where the Creator was undone for us, so that something new could be born through him in us. It is now his life that expresses itself in love through us, and this, Paul tells us, is what really counts. "May God's peace and mercy be upon all who live by this principle," Paul writes. "They are the new people of God." This is the principle: from the cross, through his new people, God moves out into the world, making all things new. As God's new creation, you are invited to build your life on him, to live in the joy, the strength, and the wisdom that Jesus won for you on the cross. So let's make this our prayer: to let this principle govern our lives, our families, our communities. Let the transforming love of Christ, shown at the cross, become the foundation of all that we do. May it shape our heart, our mind, our relationships, and our purpose. This is my prayer for my own soul, for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son—and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Let's continue now in a time of prayer. You can read along with these prayers in the show notes of today's podcast, or feel free to meditate on these words that are being spoken over you, your family, and our world. And now let us pray: 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. **O 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. 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.

In this conversation from the Reformation and Worship Conference, Camden Bucey speaks with Dr. Jonathan Master, president of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, about the unshakable relationship between doctrine and life. Drawing on J. Gresham Machen's insight that Christianity for Paul was not only a life but also a doctrine—and logically, the doctrine came first, Master reminds us that Christianity is irreducibly doctrinal. Without doctrine, there is no gospel. They discuss Greenville's pastoral training mission, the seminary's remarkable 92% long-term ministry retention rate, and why theological integrity in vows, confessional subscription, and seminary education is essential for the health of Christ's church. Master insists that doctrine is not a straitjacket—it's the lifeblood of the church's joy, sincerity, and freedom in Christ. 00:00 Introduction and Conference Setting 02:00 Introducing Dr. Jonathan Master and Greenville Seminary 04:10 Doctrine Before Life: Machen's Insight 08:30 Theological Integrity and Confessional Fidelity 12:40 Training Pastors for a Lifetime of Ministry 17:00 Why Christianity Is Irreducibly Doctrinal 21:15 Confessions as Gifts, Not Straitjackets 25:00 Doctrine That Shapes Life and Love 29:30 Seminary Education and Church Health 33:45 Closing Reflections on Faithful Ministry

Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this November 6th episode, join Hunter, your Bible reading coach and host, as we journey through day 311 in our year-long walk through the Scriptures. Today, we dive into the raw honesty of Job, seek comfort in Psalm 120, and explore the liberating message of Paul in Galatians chapters 3 and 4. Together, we reflect on the transformation offered by God's love, the promise of freedom through faith in Christ, and Paul's passionate plea to the Galatians not to trade their spiritual freedom for old chains. You'll hear heartfelt prayers, inspiring challenges to fix your eyes on Christ, and a reminder of your true identity as a beloved heir of God. So grab your Bible and your coffee—or just tune in—as Hunter guides us through Scripture, prayer, and encouragement for your soul. Certainly! Here is the transcription of the devotional given after the Scripture readings and before the prayer, matched in tone, style, and format to your example: TODAY'S DEVOTION: This journey into God that provided you with forgiveness of sins, that gave you a joyful and grateful spirit, that made you a caring and generous person, that journey began by faith. When you woke up to the gift that God had given you in Christ and the truth of who you have now become in Christ, none of that happened by trying to become a good law keeper. These dear people in Galatia are being told that they must become circumcised. They must become Jewish converts. They're being instructed to follow the laws of Moses—the dietary laws, the dates, the deeds—all of it, because all of it would be necessary if they wanted to be counted among God's people. They're being told that Jesus was, in effect, a kind of first step to this new life and community. As Jewish converts, they would have to take the next step, and that meant circumcision. It's out of these pressures that Paul is urging them not to trade their freedom for chains, and the blessing of life for what he calls the curse of the law. Paul is saying that Jesus is the first and only step. The law was never meant to make us right with God. The law was given to come alongside us and convince our hearts of our need for a Redeemer and a Savior. It's there to point us to the cross—to God's self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. It's faith in what he has done, and what we have now become. That's where the joy is. And that's where Paul wants this church—and you and I—to live from. That's Paul's plea, not only to the Galatians, but to you and to me. What God has done for you in Christ is all that need be done. Paul wants us to keep our eyes fixed on him—not on ourselves—looking outward and upward and being changed and transformed as we look to him. So let's fix our eyes on Christ our Savior, on his beautiful life, continuing to look to him in faith, growing in Christ until He is fully formed in us. That's a prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that 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.
