You're doing all the things—but you're worn thin. And beneath the smiles, the sports pickups, the dinner prep, and the late-night laundry, you wonder: Am I the only one who feels like I can't keep up?  In this honest and hope-filled episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden speak directly to the weary heart of the overwhelmed Christian mom. Together, they unpack the invisible load modern mothers carry—and the dangerous lie that asking for help is a form of spiritual failure.  But the Bible tells a different story. From Moses to the early Church, God's Word is rich with examples of leaders who were never meant to go it alone. Through personal stories—including Rachael's life-changing health scare and Melissa's practical advice on why you should always say yes to a Meal Train—this episode offers permission to release the pressure and embrace God's provision through community.  In this episode, you'll discover:  Why asking for help is not weakness—but Biblical wisdom (Galatians 6:2, Exodus 18)  Three simple ways to begin asking for help today, grounded in Scripture  How overcommitment, lack of rest, and self-reliance may be affecting your daughter's discipleship  Practical rhythms for sustainable motherhood, including prayerful yeses and sharing the load  How American Heritage Girls provides not only support for your daughter—but sacred sisterhood for you  Scriptures Referenced:  Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other's burdens...”  Exodus 18:17–18 – “What you are doing is not good…”  James 1:5 – “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God...”  Proverbs 11:14 – “In an abundance of counselors there is safety.”  John 15:13 – “Greater love has no one than this…”  You were never meant to carry it all alone, mom. God sees your exhaustion—and He's already provided help through His Word, His Spirit, and His people. May this episode remind you that surrender is strength, dependence is discipleship, and asking for help is one of the holiest things you can model for your girl.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.   To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org. 

Divine timing rarely aligns with human expectations. Pastor Mike Fabarez tackles the frustrating reality of God's delays through Paul's extended imprisonment. From Moses in the wilderness to modern believers facing prolonged trials, he reveals how the Lord's timeline serves eternal purposes we can't initially see and what it means to "wait well" when circumstances seem to drag on indefinitely.

“Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties — but right through every human heart — and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years…”— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn------------------------------------This week on Coaching the Bible, we take on one of the most dangerous movements in the Torah—and one of the most modern.In Parshat Korach, a rebellion erupts. But this isn't about justice or equality. It's a coalition of contradictions—a mob formed not by shared mission, but shared resentment.

Strong leaders aren't forged in the spotlight—they're formed in the solitude of the wilderness. In this episode, we explore a truth many Christian leaders overlook: before God entrusts us with influence, He often leads us into obscurity. From Moses and David to Paul and Jesus, Scripture reveals a consistent pattern—great leadership is shaped in the quiet, difficult, and hidden places. Whether you feel sidelined, stuck, or spiritually dry, your “wilderness” may not be a setback at all—it could be sacred preparation for the calling ahead.

This week, we explored the rich biblical theme of typology, where Old Testament figures and events foreshadow the greater fulfillment found in Christ. From Moses, Solomon, and the land of Canaan, we are pointed to Jesus as the ultimate Deliverer, King, and inheritance. The mysterious figure of Melchizedek highlights the eternal priesthood of Christ. Through Jesus, we are invited to draw near to God with confidence, living not as owners of our resources, but as stewards of His grace and provision.

Josh Monday joins Nephilim Death Squad to dive deep into biblical cosmology, exposing the spiritual warfare embedded in modern science. We unravel topics like the firmament, heliocentrism, and NASA's occult ties, and break down how ancient scripture challenges mainstream cosmology. From Moses' firsthand account of creation to the sun-stopping miracle of Joshua, we explore why the Bible's flat-earth model still shakes the foundations of belief. We also cover how Freemasonry, Jesuit science, and Operation Paperclip's Nazi legacy have shaped the world's understanding of “space”—all while keeping you laughing (and maybe rethinking reality). If you've ever wondered whether stars are angels, or if nukes can actually destroy Earth, this one's for you.☠️ NEPHILIM DEATH SQUAD   Skip the ads. Get early access.

This week, we're diving deep into the power of our choices—and how choosing excellence isn't about perfection, but posture. From Moses' call to “choose life” in Deuteronomy to Paul's charge to “run with purpose,” Scripture shows us that living with an excellent spirit begins in the heart. We'll explore how excellence is fueled by gratitude, shaped by discipline, driven by determination, and aligned through God's direction. Excellence means doing ordinary things extraordinarily well—not for applause, but for God's glory. God has already placed greatness in you. The question is: will you live it out?

Send us a textWhen does divine guidance become dangerous delusion? This riveting theological discussion dives deep into one of Christianity's most contentious questions: Does God still speak prophetically through individuals, or is Scripture now His complete and final revelation?The conversation begins with respectful disagreement about whether Christians can receive messages from God to deliver to others. One view firmly maintains that such claims essentially position someone as having authority equal to Scripture—"How is that any different than a Pope?" Another perspective shares powerful personal testimonies of divine communication, including hearing God's voice directing Bible reading and receiving prophetic insights about others' circumstances.Biblical evidence becomes the focal point as participants examine how God historically validated His messengers through undeniable signs and wonders. From Moses parting the Red Sea to Christ healing the blind, these weren't random spiritual experiences but divine authentication of messengers and their message. As one participant notes, "There is never a situation where somebody, just of their own accord, comes and says 'I'm God's messenger' without God validating that person through signs of some sort."The discussion takes fascinating turns through Deuteronomy's test for true prophecy, the clustering of biblical miracles during key covenant transitions, and why Paul might recommend medicine to Timothy rather than miraculous healing. Most compelling is the distinction between acknowledging spiritual experiences and discerning their source—recognizing that powerful experiences can originate from places other than God.Rather than seeking supernatural signs, the discussion ultimately points to Christ himself. At both Jesus's baptism and transfiguration, God's instruction was beautifully simple: "Hear Him." In a world filled with competing spiritual claims and counterfeit wonders, this dialogue reminds us that true faith focuses on Christ and His completed work, not on chasing supernatural experiences.What spiritual experiences have you encountered, and how did you discern their source?

What if the ancient Passover meal has always been pointing to Jesus? In this powerful Communion Week message, we connect the dots between the first Passover in Egypt, the crucifixion of Jesus, and the spiritual battle still raging today.

Ready to see the cross through fresh eyes? Let's go there.

In this episode, we explore the profound impact of prayer in the life of a Christian leader. Leadership can be overwhelming, but history and Scripture show that the greatest leaders were those who knelt in prayer before they stood in authority. From Moses crying out for help under the burden of leadership to Nehemiah praying for boldness in the face of opposition, and even Jesus, who continually sought the Father's will—prayer was the common thread that sustained them all. Through real-life experiences and powerful Biblical narratives, we discuss how prayer provides strength, wisdom, and direction in leadership. Whether you're leading a business, a church, or your family, prayer is not a last resort—it is your first and greatest strategy. Tune in for practical steps on how to cultivate a prayerful leadership style, how to seek God's guidance in decision-making, and how to inspire a culture of prayer in your organization. Don't miss this conversation on embracing the power of prayer to lead with faith, confidence, and humility. Listen now and be encouraged to make prayer the foundation of your leadership!

Hebrews 11:23–40 continues the powerful “Hall of Faith,” highlighting men and women who trusted God in the face of danger, hardship, and uncertainty. From Moses' parents defying Pharaoh to the prophets who endured persecution, this passage celebrates those who chose faith over fear, obedience over comfort, and eternal hope over temporary safety. Some saw great victories; others suffered and died without receiving what was promised—yet all were commended for their faith. Together, their stories point beyond themselves to the greater fulfillment found in Christ.  The Rev. Nathaniel Brown, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Correll, MN, Trinity Lutheran Church in Bellingham, MN, and Trinity Lutheran Church in Odessa, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 11:23-40.  For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn't just another epistle—it's the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we'll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

"Prayer isn't just something we do—it's how we live. Corrie ten Boom, a hero who saved hundreds during the Holocaust, said, 'Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?' The Bible shows us that prayer isn't a last resort; it's the pathway to God's presence and power. From Moses to Jesus, and even today, prayer connects us directly to God—it's the power we need for strength and transformation. Let's not just pray, let's live praying lives, knowing that through prayer, heaven and earth collide." #Prayer #Faith #StrengthInPrayer

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 Teamwork is important. There is strength and a sense of community in working together toward a common goal. Working together is essential in overcoming challenges and achieving shared objectives. Teamwork develops synergy, where individual strengths complement each other, leading to greater productivity and creativity. Through teamwork, various perspectives and skills contribute to thorough problem solving and innovation. The Bible emphasizes the values of teamwork. From Moses and Aaron leading the Israelites to Jesus sending out his disciples, cooperation and mutual support are foundational to God's work. Together we can encourage, support, and build each other up in faith and good works. Looking back, I see how teamwork has enriched my personal growth and accomplishments. It has taught me humility, patience, and the joy of celebrating collective achievements. Each team effort has strengthened relationships and fostered a sense of community and belonging. We can embrace collaboration in all areas of life, seeking opportunities to work alongside others, leveraging people's strengths for the greater good. Let's strive to imitate Christ's example of unity and service, knowing that together we can accomplish far more than we could if we worked alone. Father, guide us in working together for your glory and your kingdom. In Jesus' name, Amen.

In this message, we dive into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, where He declares, “I didn't come to abolish the Law or the Prophets—I came to fulfill them.” What does that mean for us today? Jesus upgrades the Old Covenant, fulfilling it through His perfect life and death, freeing us from its burden (Heb. 8:13). From Moses on Mount Sinai to Jesus on the Mount, we see a shift from rules to a transformed life—His law now written on our hearts (Jer. 31:33).Explore how Jesus calls us to a righteousness that surpasses the Pharisees—not through legalism, but through His life in us (2 Cor. 5:21). His teachings (Matt. 5-7) aren't just inspiration; they're a call to action: “Everyone who hears these words and puts them into practice” builds their life on the rock (Matt. 7:24-27). Discover how Jesus' fulfillment of the Law and the destruction of the Temple (AD 70) mark the end of the old “heaven and earth,” ushering in a New Covenant of Kingdom living—resilient, Spirit-led, and free.

This last Sunday, Chris explored the link between prayer and wilderness throughout the Scriptures. From Moses, to David, to Elijah, and ultimately to Jesus - we see that God meets us in the wilderness. It's in the wilderness of prayer that our vulnerability and lack of control are exposed.  It's in this unique place where God is able to minister His Presence to us, and where we receive our true identity as friend of God.  We pray that you would venture into the wilderness of prayer, unto knowing Him and loving Him, and being known and loved by Him.   Link to Sermon Guide & Activations: 02.23.25 Sermon Guide

The Power of Shema (Parshat Va'etchanan) From Moses until October 7th, the prayer from our Parsha has played an outsized role.

From Moses onward, prophets were giving details about the Promised One, the Messiah. With so many clues, how did God's people completely miss His arrival? Listen as Julie Coleman helps us discover His Master Plan.

Welcome to today's sermon podcast! Inspired by Apostle Paul's prayer in Ephesians 6:19, this sermon aims to help you understand God's plan for your life and how to overcome the obstacles you face. Life is filled with challenges, and whether you have many resources or few, there are always barriers to overcome. Drawing from classic Old Testament stories, today's message focuses on the story of Jericho from the book of Joshua. We explore how the Israelites, led by Joshua, faced the formidable walled city of Jericho and how God's unconventional plan led them to victory. From Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt to Joshua taking over as their leader, we see a pattern of obedience and faith that brings about God's promises. As we delve into the story, we'll uncover how communication with God, compliance with His commands, and confidence in His promises enable us to conquer life's challenges. Join us as we learn valuable lessons from Joshua chapter 6 and discover how we too can overcome our personal "Jerichos" through the power of God, trusting His plan, obeying His commands, and following His lead with confidence. May this sermon encourage you to keep your head high and your faith strong as you navigate the obstacles in your life. With Pastor Mike Curry. “Conquering Jericho: Overcoming Challenges with Faith” Joshua 6 Main Idea: We can overcome challenges by trusting God's promise, obeying His commands, and confidently following His lead. Overcoming Life's Challenges Communication: Trusting God's Promise (Joshua 6:1-2) God's Promise: “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands...” Psalm 16:7-8 Matthew 6:33 Compliance: Obedience in Action (Joshua 6:6-7, 8, 10, 16) God's plan: March around Jericho once a day for six days, with priests carrying trumpets and the ark of the covenant. Joshua's Obedience: He complied, even when the plan seemed unconventional. James 1:22 Confidence: Shouting in Faith (Joshua 6:20-21) Faith in Action: March around Jericho seven times, then shout in glory to God. Result: The walls of Jericho fell, and victory was secured. Romans 8:31-39 Reflection Questions: “What ‘walls of Jericho' do you currently face in your life—challenges that seem insurmountable? How can you seek God's communication and trust His promise to overcome them?” “Reflect on a time when God led you to take an unconventional or unexpected step in obedience. What did you learn from that experience, and how did it impact your faith?” “Consider the promises God has given you for the future. How can you hold onto those promises and confidently move forward, even when circumstances appear difficult?”

Exodus 4:1-12 God's grace is often showcased when His people are facing difficult times. God was faithful to Moses and His grace prepared the way for him to accomplish great things for the Lord. From Moses's story we learn: God's grace is with us EVEN when we have questions. Moses asked ‘what if', in Mark 9:24 the father asked ‘help my unbelief', Mary asked ‘how can this be'. God is not put off by our questions but welcomes them! Are you bringing your questions to God? God is willing to show up in miraculous ways to get us where we need to be. God is not only with you, but He is FOR you as well. Everyone has questions, but when we allow Holy Spirit to guide us, things begin to change. Romans 8:14-17 Because of God's grace, Moses was transformed from fearful and unbelieving to the deliverer of Israel! Hebrews 11:24-38 What is God doing in your life today? How is His grace changing you?? +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://allnationstallahassee.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://mobile.twitter.com/allnationstally

The story continues as God works through Moses and his successors in Israel to fulfill a promise to redeem humankind. Ron and John survey the books of Exodus through the reign of Saul in 1 Samuel. The post Bible Survey, Part 2: From Moses to King Saul (Encore) appeared first on Orthodocs.faith.

Faith is a way of seeing, and the saints in the second half of Hebrews 11 saw two things: solidarity and resilience. From Moses through the judges, the prophets, and early Christian martyrs, faith chooses to identify with the people of God rather than the "fleeting pleasures of sin." And when suffering threatened to undo them, faith strengthened them to endure, contributing to what Augustine called the City of Man while waiting most of all for the City of God.

Pastor Brent continues in our new series, “So, What is God Like?” with this powerful message reminding us of God's mercy and compassion. From Moses and Israel to today, God is setting His people apart to be HIS reflection in the world. This is WHO HE IS!

It is impossible to have an encounter with a holy God without being changed by it. We see it play out time and time again throughout the narrative of scripture. From Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush, to Isaiah's vision of Yahweh on his throne in the temple, to Paul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus; it is clear that when we encounter God's presence, we walk away differently. In the second chapter of 1 John, the author of the letter speaks to the authenticity of our faith, making the bold claim that if we claim to know Jesus, but we do not walk in the way he did— if we have not been changed by an encounter with him— then we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. In this message, Brock breaks down the second chapter of 1 John, and teaches on what it means to have an authentic faith— how to keep an aroma of heaven about us, even through the changing seasons of life.

In this powerful sermon, we delve into the significance of mountaintop experiences in Scripture, focusing on the extraordinary transfiguration of Jesus. We journey to a moment when Jesus was transfigured before the eyes of his disciples, Peter, James, and John on a high mountain, unveiling his divine glory through an immense glow from his clothes, conversations with Moses and Elijah, and the audible affirmation of His divine sonship by God Himself. This episode explores how mountaintop experiences were not just moments of divine revelation, but also a preparation guide for significant missions. From Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt to Jesus propelling His disciples into a mission of redemption, each encounter provided divine direction and equipped leaders for their upcoming tasks. We examine the influences of these moments, revealing the essence of divine presence and mission field that they encapsulate. This sermon concludes with an assuring message for the future, emphasizing that no matter what uncertainties lie ahead, we can trust that Jesus walks with us down the mountain and into the future.

God sends some someones.In Moses' story, he asks God to send someone to help him in his weakness. Someone to speak wisdom and blessing, someone to share the load, someone that is with, someone that strengthens faith, and someone to speak truth. From Moses' story, we see God's desire to send someone to help us in our loneliness, weakness, and for all of life.

Understanding The Assignment 1 Cor 2:2 #nightlight #RTTBROS  Understanding the Assignment Verse: "For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." - 1 Corinthians 2:2 (KJV)  In the vast tapestry of stories found within the Bible, one common thread emerges: the heroism of God. From Genesis to Revelation, we witness the protagonist of each narrative giving all glory to God for their triumph over insurmountable odds. As we delve into the depths of understanding the assignment of our faith, we come to realize that the ultimate hero is none other than our Heavenly Father.  In the verse from 1 Corinthians 2:2, the apostle Paul declares his determination to know nothing among the Corinthians except Jesus Christ and His crucifixion. This powerful statement sets the tone for our exploration of the Bible's narratives, revealing that the central focus is always on God and His redemptive plan for humanity. Throughout the Bible, we encounter countless stories of individuals facing seemingly impossible challenges. From David and Goliath to Daniel in the lion's den, we witness heroes who overcome adversity not by their own strength, but by relying on the power and intervention of God. These stories serve as reminders that true heroism lies not in human abilities, but in surrendering to God's will.  As we journey through the Scriptures, we discover that God's heroes are marked by their unwavering faith and trust in Him. They understand that their accomplishments are not a result of their own prowess, but a manifestation of God's miraculous strength, wisdom, revelation, or healing. From Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt to Esther saving her people, each protagonist attributes their success to the power of God working through them. One of the key lessons we learn from these narratives is the importance of humility. God's heroes understand that they are merely vessels through which His glory shines. They recognize that it is not their own abilities or achievements that deserve praise, but rather the goodness and faithfulness of God. This realization leads them to give all honor and glory back to Him. In our own lives, we are called to emulate these heroes of faith. We are to embrace the understanding that our strength, wisdom, revelation, and healing come from God alone. By recognizing and acknowledging His sovereignty, we can navigate through life's challenges with unwavering trust, knowing that He is our ultimate hero. As we meditate on the biblical narratives, let us remember that understanding the assignment of our faith means recognizing that God is the hero of every story. His power, grace, and love are what enable us to overcome life's obstacles. May we, like the heroes of old, give all glory to God for His miraculous work in our lives. "Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake." - Psalm 115:1 (KJV) Our Podcast, Blog and YouTube Links https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros

We dissect Elsa's fear of her own powers and her self-imposed isolation, drawing parallels to our own lives and our awe, respect, and sometimes fear of the divine. We grapple with the scriptures that say "fear not" versus those that dictate "fear the Lord", finding a connection within Elsa's story. We dive into  the nature of our relationship with God. How often does it become routine rather than heartfelt? Are we listening for His guidance amidst our fear and uncertainty? Through an analysis of Elsa and Anna's relationship, we perceive a reflection of our bond with God — one that requires constant effort to keep alive despite the shadow of fear. We also turn to some biblical stories, highlighting instances where fear was overcome by faith and courage.

In our human experience, we often rely on patterns and regularity, seeking solace in what's familiar and expected. But the God we serve, described vividly throughout the scriptures, showcases boundless creativity in His interactions with us. Matthew Adams here, and today we're diving into the myriad of ways God communicates.Scripture: "God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us." - 1 CORINTHIANS 12:6God's interactions in history display an array of signs and wonders. From Moses and the burning bush to Gideon's fleece, His ways of reaching out are endless. These methods, each unique and distinct, are tailored to the individual, proving the vastness of God's creative approach. The underlying message? God doesn't stick to a script; He knows us intimately and chooses the best way to speak to our individual hearts.The Power Of God's Whisper is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Driving Point 1: Avoiding Formulas It's human nature to try and understand God by detecting a pattern, a formula, in His actions. But to say definitively, “This is how God speaks,” would be limiting the limitless. While there might be general patterns, God's methods are as varied as the stars in the sky. Embrace the unpredictability.Driving Point 2: Embracing Diversity in Experience Each person's encounter with God is deeply personal. Some might see visions, while others find Him in the silence. The beauty lies not in comparing, but in celebrating these varied experiences. As we share our stories, let's remember that God's voice resonates differently with each one of us because of our unique makeups and backgrounds.Driving Point 3: Expect the Unexpected God's methods, while rooted in His unchanging nature, often surprise us. Rather than holding onto past experiences, we should keep our hearts open, eager and excited for the new ways He might reach out. His creativity knows no bounds, and He loves to reveal Himself in unexpected ways.Conclusion: Our God is not monotonous. He is an artist, a creator, using an array of colors and brushes to paint His love and messages onto the canvas of our lives. As we journey through our faith, let's remember to celebrate the myriad ways He communicates, embracing each new method with open hearts.Call to Action: Let's challenge ourselves. This week, try to listen without expectations. Open your heart and mind, and ask God to surprise you. Share your experiences with your community, and let's revel in the countless ways God speaks to us.Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your boundless creativity. Help us to approach each day with expectation, eager for the new ways You might choose to speak to us. We worship You, not just for the messages You share, but for the beautiful and diverse ways You choose to share them. Open our minds and hearts to receive whatever You have for us. Amen.Stay blessed and always be receptive. God's voice, in its infinite creativity, is ever-present, speaking to us in ways we might never have imagined. Until next time, this is Matthew Adams, signing off. Stay connected, stay inspired.Thank you for reading The Power Of God's Whisper. This post is public so feel free to share it.

Warriors, what's up? It's Matthew Adams here. Sometimes, in the cacophony of voices in our world, one voice stands out, calling us back to authenticity and truth. Jeremiah knew it, George Fox recognized it, and we, too, can discern God's voice amidst the noise.Scripture: "I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will guide you with knowledge and understanding." - JEREMIAH 3:15Throughout history, God has consistently raised voices of reformation and revival. Whether prophets of the Old Testament or visionaries in the church's annals, God ensures His authentic message is delivered. When the spiritual climate grows stale, God breathes fresh life through a chosen vessel.The Power Of God's Whisper is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Point 1: The Legacy of Corrective Voices. The Bible and church history are replete with figures whom God selected to course-correct His people. From Moses leading a rebellion-scarred Israel to George Fox's passionate proclamation, God's voice cuts through falsehoods, delivering unvarnished truth. Whenever the world grows deaf to genuine spirituality, God amplifies His voice through chosen instruments.Point 2: The Power of Individual Reformation. Often, God doesn't just change the masses; He starts with an individual. When the surrounding environment is spiritually dry, God might not direct us to greener pastures right away. Instead, He might empower us to be the reformation catalyst, echoing God's voice in a desert of spiritual mediocrity.Point 3: God's Unyielding Promise. Even when the shepherds of His people falter, God's promise remains firm. If current leaders miss the mark, God ensures a fresh wave of godly shepherds rise up. These shepherds, aligned with His heart, usher in truth and revival. Our trust should not hinge on human frailty but on God's unwavering commitment.Conclusion: God's voice, resounding through history, serves as a beacon for His people. Though the medium might change — from ancient prophets to passionate preachers — the message remains constant: a call to authentic worship and discipleship.Call to Action: Family, this week, lean into that voice. Allow God to stir within you a hunger for genuine spiritual engagement. And if you feel that nudge to be a voice of reformation in your community, don't shy away. Embrace it, and let God lead.Prayer: Father, amid the myriad voices, help us tune into Yours. When the world offers hollow echoes, let Your words resonate within our spirits. Raise us, O God, not as passive listeners but as active proclaimers of Your enduring truth. In Jesus' name. Amen.Thank you, Warriors…for journeying with me on "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast." As we forge ahead, let's be attuned to God's authentic call in our lives, discerning His voice amidst the clamor. Until next time, let God's whisper power your steps.

This week Amy and Mike talk with New York Times best-selling author Joshua Cooley about his book Heroes of the Bible Devotional. Ask any 12-year-old kid to describe a hero, and you will get some of the following answers: a superstar athlete, a soldier on the front lines, or a guy in a cape who can jump over buildings. Most of our “heroes” are related to human achievement and glory, but the Bible has a very different concept. The list of people who were great in God's eyes might shock you. This devotional book is about their stories. The 90 devotions feature the qualities of Bible characters that made them heroic. From Moses to Esther to Jesus, kids will learn more about how these Bible people pleased God. They will know that qualities like courage, worshiping God, and being a true friend are heroic actions. The devotional features line drawings of the Bible characters to further help youth identify with and learn about the people in the Bible. Joshua Cooley is a New York Times bestselling author, a freelance writer/editor, and has 14 years of experience as a fulltime children's minister. He has authored or contributed to 14 books, including many devotionals for children and youth such as the Heroes of the Bible Devotional; Creator, Father, King: A One Year Journey With God; and The One Year Devotions With Jesus. In 2018, he teamed with Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles to co-author the star quarterback's bestselling memoir, Believe It: My Journey of Success, Failure, and Overcoming the Odds. Josh lives in Durham, N.C.

Welcome to Unexpected with Hannah Love, a brand new podcast show on the That Sounds Fun Network! Have you ever spent much time thinking about the events that led you to where you are? Have you ever noticed, too, that some of the most unexpected moments are very ones that God used in the biggest ways? I have. Not only did I notice this theme in my own life but I also saw it all over the Bible. From Moses and Gideon, to David and Esther and Nehemiah, God seems to call the most unqualified people to do the most unexpected things. When God put this podcast on my heart, He gave me the name and I knew this was a universal theme that He has used from the beginning of time. My hope is that as you listen to stories - both biblical and present day - and to the lives of some incredible guests along the way, we all gain a new perspective of how God loves us enough to call us to the things we couldn't have imagined for ourselves . This is Unexpected. Hannah Love Mooney formerly held the title of Miss Arkansas USA in 2013. She has years of experience as a freelance writer for online publications and has been featured in national magazines, music videos, and podcasts. Hannah is a seasoned painter and writer. She is now married to Shay Mooney of country duo Dan + Shay. The couple have two sweet boys. ... Thank you to our sponsor! Anchor: Download the free Anchor app or go to Anchor.fm to get started.

Moses Kagan (https://www.kagansblog.com/) has been buying, renovating and managing apartment buildings in Los Angeles since 2008. His company, Adaptive Realty (https://www.adaptiverealty.com/), along with its investor-partners, owns approximately $200MM worth of high-quality buildings in interesting neighborhoods. Unusually for a real estate private equity firm, Adaptive and its partners do not fix and flip; instead, they act as permanent holders and stewards of the assets under their control. Standout Quotes: * "Rich families that own good assets generally don't look to sell them to maximize Pre-tax IRR" - [Moses] * "If you do not lose the building, the rents will recover" - [Moses] * "When you start to think about things indefinitely, and you're not in a rush, it kind of opens up other possibilities in terms of structure and strategy" - [Moses] * "It's very hard to go from zero to something… and it takes an entirely different set of skills to go from something to something much larger" - [Moses] * "I do not believe that we as individuals live our lives for ourselves" - [Moses] Key Takeaways: * Moses has been buying, renovating, and managing apartment buildings in Los Angeles since 2008, through his company, Adaptive Realty, alongside investor partners. He focuses on sub-institutional deals. * The most important part of the strategy is that rather than buy, fix and sell buildings to maximize pretax IRR, they buy properties, make them high-quality assets, manage and refinance them to get higher returns. The strategy was born from his family values as they had always been involved in Real Estate but never engaged particularly in sales of property. * There are two reasons why people sell; firstly investors have a mindset too focused on Pretax IRR, and secondly, the sponsor gets their money after selling. If you just hold on and keep the building, the rents will recover. * The initial funds for the business came from friends and family of Moses, and later from another family office who partnered with them. This partnership helped them build a track record that encouraged other investors to feel comfortable with them. * The structure for the business model is not to buy, renovate and sell like the typical model with PEs, but rather they partner with wealthy families with the explicit assumption to hold on to the property not sell, however, liquidation rights goes to the family that put up all the capital. The primary strategy has been to refinance the property to pull the capital out and give it back to the investors who still retain ownership and cash flow from rents. Adaptive Realty only gets fees for their work but not cash flow from rents, sales or refinance until the investors have got their capital. * Describing his family history, Moses shares how his first building was bought with capital from the family money dating back 4 generations. The wealth he enjoyed from his family was mostly in form of basic needs being met and, particularly education. * When starting a business with a partner, it is critical to have a decision-maker or tie-breaker irrespective of how profits are split. The relationship between Moses and his partner in terms of how earnings are split is quite stable even for the coming generation but open to discussions if need be. * There is currently no long-term family structure for his family, however, Moses spends a lot of time with his kids, to instill the values of passing on to the next generation what was done for them. * Discussing Storytelling, Moses emphasizes that your forebearers are a living part of your life, and tries to make those people present for his children even though they will never meet them. * Gaining exposure and immense assistance from his friends to succeed, Moses was also motivated to start finding ways to help people who didn't have the kind of opportunities he had. * Advice from Moses to those aspiring for multigenerational success: Don't put yourself in a position where one investor can wake up one day and force you to restart your career. This involves having different capital providers rather than being completely dependent on one. * From Moses to his kids: We owe everything to those who came before us, however, we can't repay them. We can only try to do for those coming after us what has been done for us, if not more. Episode Timeline: * [00:48] Meet today's guest, Moses Kagan. * [01:53] About the business, Adaptive Realty. * [13:50] How do you get investors to join you with your strategy of holding properties permanently? * [16:45] How have you structured Adaptive Realty to be different from the typical P.E model? * [21:55] Moses shares his family background. * [32:36] What's your perspective on multigenerational wealth? * [38:28] What does the future look like in terms of the next generation? * [41:07] Do you expect your children to get involved in the business? * [46:15] Is there any form of family governance structure? * [48:18] Moses shares his approach to storytelling as a method to pass on values. * [52:55] How Moses works to help others who haven't had the same privileges he enjoyed. * [57:06] Advice from Moses to listeners aspiring to build generational legacies. * [01:00:33] From Moses to his kids.
