Martin heroically steps in when Jase's plan to fulfill Miss Kay's urgent request suddenly falls apart. Jase turns a chaotic weekend of surprise houseguests, strange boyfriends, and overflowing trash into a bigger conversation about what genuine faith looks like in everyday life. The guys compare Abraham and Rahab, showing how two deeply flawed people can act with courage because they trust God.  In this episode: James 2-3; Joshua 2; Genesis 12-22; Matthew 1; Romans 9; 1 Corinthians 1; Hebrews 11; Hebrews 13:12-16 “Unashamed” Episode 1382 is sponsored by: https://smartcredit.com/unashamed — Get a 7-day trial for just $1, see how many points you can add to your credit score! https://cozyearth.com/unashamed — Get up to 20% off when you use our link and code UNASHAMED! http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/ — Sign up now for free, and join the Unashamed hosts every Friday for Unashamed Academy Powered by Hillsdale College Listen to Not Yet Now with Zach Dasher on Apple, Spotify, iHeart, or anywhere you get podcasts.

That sense of powerlessness is something we all experience. The truth is, apart from Christ, we are powerless. In and of ourselves, we cannot be who God wants us to be. Apart from Christ, we are weak, without strength, and unable to move forward.Main Points:1.  Have you ever felt powerless? Like your batteries were on empty? Like you couldn't go on? Did you feel as if you didn't have the strength you needed or the ability to face a challenge? Maybe you felt you had reached your limit and that you simply couldn't take the stress anymore. Perhaps you felt powerless to change, to stop, to grow, to adapt, or to become what God desires for your life.2. Oh, how we need the Lord in our lives. Oh, how you and I need Jesus. It's in Him we find our strength. It's in Him we become strong. It's only through His power that you and I can be overcomers.3. Every relationship we have exists because we intentionally invested in the other person. The same is true with Christ. Commit to daily investing time with Jesus. It's through our knowledge of Him that we gain the power we need.Today's Scripture Verses:2 Peter 1:3 - “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”Romans 8:11 - “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Jase, Al, and Zach return to Genesis to answer the question culture and even a Supreme Court justice struggled to define, tracing what Scripture says about men, women, their differences, and every person bearing the image of God. The guys dive into church favoritism, empty “thoughts and prayers,” and the difference between simply believing in God and living out a faith that is truly alive. Zach and Jase can't decide who's the poorer listener, and Jase decides Zach's new hairstyle is proof that his midlife crisis has officially arrived.  In this episode: Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:18-23; Matthew 5:13-16; Matthew 22:37-40; Mark 16:20; Romans 8:19-28; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 3:9; 1 Corinthians 16:16; 2 Corinthians 6:1; 1 Timothy 2; James 2:1-26 “Unashamed” Episode 1381 is sponsored by: Upgrade your wallet today!

This episode is for the nurse who is her own harshest critic — replaying the shift on the drive home, fixating on the one thing that went wrong instead of everything that went right. In this episode, we talk about how the precision this job demands (because a small mistake really can mean someone gets hurt) can quietly turn into a critical inner voice that never clocks out. It follows you home. It shows up in how you parent, how you rest, how you talk to yourself about the small human moments — the late clock-in, the snoozed alarm, the donut from the breakroom. We sit with Romans 8:1 and the truth that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus — not "no condemnation if," just no condemnation. And we talk about the order that grace actually works in: we don't clean ourselves up to earn it, we receive it because of who He is — and once we know our worth, we can finally stop condemning ourselves. Then we breathe it in, one truth at a time: Inhale: I'm in Christ Jesus Exhale: There is No condemnation Scripture featured: Romans 8:1 If this episode met you somewhere tender today, share it with a nurse who needs to hear it too. Shalom, shalom.

In the long-awaited Round 4 of our "Ludwig von Mises vs. A Christian Scholar" series I examine one of the most important questions at the intersection of biblical theology and economics: what is the relationship between justification, righteousness, and social justice? In the first half of this episode, I review James D. G. Dunn's understanding of righteousness and justification as presented in The Justice of God: A Fresh Look at the Old Doctrine of Justification by Faith. In the second half, I critically evaluate and challenge Alan Suggate's chapter in the same volume, arguing that while he rightly recognizes that justification has profound social implications, he reaches mistaken economic conclusions that are inconsistent with both Scripture and sound economics. Beginning with the Old Testament and Paul's letter to the Romans, I argue that Dunn is right to emphasize that righteousness is both vertical and horizontal, encompassing our relationship with God and our relationships with others. Those who are justified by grace through faith are incorporated into God's covenant family and transformed by the Holy Spirit, meaning that justification necessarily has social consequences. I then argue that Suggate incorrectly concludes that these social implications justify coercive government redistribution, whereas the biblical vision of righteousness is better embodied through voluntary cooperation, peaceful exchange, and Christian charity. Drawing on the Austrian School of economics, particularly the work of Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, I critique Suggate's analysis of markets, wealth, and social justice, contending that free markets foster social harmony, reward service to others, and provide the conditions for genuine charity without resorting to state coercion. Ultimately, I argue that Paul's vision of justification calls the church to embody the cruciform righteousness of Christ through lives of sacrificial love, demonstrating that biblical concern for the poor is not only compatible with economic liberty but is best realized through voluntary rather than coercive means. Media Referenced:Mises Round 1, Michael Gorman: https://libertarianchristians.com/episode/ludwig-von-mises-vs-christian-scholar-round-1-michael-gorman/Mises Round 2, James K.A.

1 Peter 1:18-19, Romans 6:23 | Luke Peterson

"Notwithstanding you have well done,that you did communicate with my affliction."  At first glance, this verse appears to besimply a "thank you" for a financial gift. But it is much more thanthat. Paul is introducing a wonderful truth that we might call the grace ofgiving. Noticewhat he says first: "You have done well." Paul commends thePhilippians. He isn't praising the amount of their gift. He is praising thelove that motivated it. God has always been more interested in the heart thanin the size of the gift. Jesus reminded us of that when He watched the poorwidow place her two mites into the Temple treasury. Others gave much more, butJesus said she had given the most because she gave out of her poverty whileothers gave out of their abundance. God measures giving differently than we do.He measures sacrifice. He measures love. He measures faith.  ThenPaul says something very interesting: "You did communicate with myaffliction." Today we usually think of the word"communicate" as talking or sending a message. But that is not whatPaul means. The Greek word is koinōneō. It means to share, to participate, orto have fellowship together. The Philippians were not merely sending money.They were sharing Paul's burden. They were entering into his suffering. Thoughthey were hundreds of miles away, they were saying, "Paul, you are notalone. We are standing with you." Isn't that what Christian fellowship isall about? Theword koinōnia, which is translated "fellowship," appears at the verybeginning of this letter. In Philippians 1:5 Paul thanked God for their"fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now." Now, at theclose of the letter, that same fellowship is still evident. Their partnershiphad not ended. It had continued through prayer... Through encouragement... Andnow through generous giving. True Christian fellowship is much more thanenjoying a meal together or shaking hands after church. It means sharing lifetogether. Romans 12:15 tells us, "Rejoice with them that do rejoice,and weep with them that weep." When one believer hurts, we all hurt.When one believer rejoices, we all rejoice. That is the family of God. ThePhilippians could not remove Paul's chains. They could not release him fromprison. But they could stand beside him by sharing what God had given them. Andthat made all the difference. The same is true today. Not everyone can become amissionary. Not everyone can preach. Not everyone can travel around the worldsharing the Gospel. But every believer can have a part in God's work bypraying, encouraging, and giving. When we support those who are taking theGospel to others, we become partners in that ministry. We share in the workthat God is doing through them. Ioften think about the people who faithfully pray for missionaries around theworld. Others give faithfully each week to support God's work. Some writeencouraging letters. Others quietly meet practical needs. None of those actsmay seem very spectacular. But God sees every one of them. Every act of love isan expression of His grace. That is why I like to call this section "TheGrace of Giving." Giving is not something God wants from us. It issomething His grace produces in us. ThePhilippians did not give because they were pressured. They gave because God'sgrace had filled their hearts. Theirgenerosity was evidence of God's grace at work in their lives. The same is truefor us. When Christ has our hearts, He also has our hands, our time, ourtalents, and yes, even our resources. Giving is never about losing something.It is about sharing in what God is doing. Perhapstoday God is giving you an opportunity to share in someone else's burden. Maybethrough prayer. Maybe through an encouraging word. Maybe through meeting apractical need. Remember, when we share the burdens of others, we arereflecting the heart of Jesus Christ Himself. Let's ask God to make us thatkind of believer.

JULY 21- TODAY'S READING FROM THE ONE YEAR BIBLE- 2 CHRONICLES 4:1- 6:11; ROMANS 7:1-13; PSALMS 17:1-15; PROVERBS 19:22-23    Commentary written and read by Pastor David K.

Psalm 88:1-4, Hosea 3:1-5, Romans 6:15-23, 7:1-4. Living for ourselves is, in fact, a form of slavery Serving God ‘in the new way of the Spirit' (Romans 7:6) is the way to find perfect freedom – free to have a relationship with him and to be the kind of person that deep down you long to be

July 21, 2026Today's Reading: Romans 6:19-23Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 4:1-22; Acts 17:1-34; Acts 16:23-40“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Calling the faithful “slaves of God” in the year of our Lord 2025 feels uncomfortable. It feels like it needs a lot of context for what it isn't. Paul doesn't give it. Instead of his next words justifying the hyperbole, he justifies the sinner. He doesn't minimize what slavery looks like. He just asks us to consider how freedom in regard to righteousness actually goes. You are either slaves to sin or slaves to God because you're not actually God. To Paul, it's not even a question of ability. It's a question of whether or not it would be a good thing if you were. If you actually were the most powerful being in the universe…how would that go? Back before you belonged to God, what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. It's your death because you're not God. But if you were, how would it not just be someone else's death who got in your way? Instead of arguing over whether or not your sinful flesh is powerful enough to escape the grave, Paul asks whether or not having sinful flesh is good in the first place. Whether it be your death or the death of everyone who got in your way, God would rather it be His. The wages of sin is death, and so He pays it for you. The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. You are not free. You have a Lord. There are other lords. Many try to be lords themselves. But yours is the one who lays down His life to save yours. Rather than bickering about who's in charge, Paul points to the results—your salvation. You are not free in regard to righteousness. You are not free to sin. You are free from it, though. You are free from death. On the Last Day, you will rise. You are even free from having to deal with all the enemies in your way to live. Sin. Death. The power of the devil. All come undone in Him who owns you and treats you as a treasure. Calling the faithful “slaves of God” was never a comfortable statement. It was never supposed to be. Rather, Paul lets our comfort be in Him who sets us free from death. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.When You woke that Thursday morning, Savior, teacher, faithful friend, Thoughts of self and safety scorning, Knowing how the day would end; Lamb of God, foretold for ages, Now at last the hour had come When but One could pay sin's wages: You assumed their dreadful sum. (LSB 445:1) Rev. Harrison Goodman, Executive Director of Mission and Theology for Higher Things.

Why aren't more Christians actually making disciples?It's easy to blame culture, busyness, or even the church. But the biggest barriers to living on mission aren't “out there”… they're internal.In this podcast we break down 7 mental barriers that quietly shut down disciple-making—and how to push through them.You'll discover:* Why some Christians never step into mission at all* How lack of surrender (Romans 12) blocks obedience* The truth about the Great Commission (Matthew 28)* Why many believers feel stuck and don't know how to start* The hidden mindset that keeps ministry “professionalized”* How the wrong model of church limits real impactThis isn't about guilt or pressure.It's about clarity—and stepping into what Jesus actually called us to.If you're serious about following Jesus, this matters.Learn more at 12Church.net Take the Personal Evangelism Crash Course Here:https://www.twelvechurch.net/evangelism-crash-courseDiscover the Missional Living Map: https://missionalmap.comLearn more about 12Church: https://12church.netGet access to any tools and resources mentioned in this video here:https://www.12church.net/toolsThe 8 Essential Traits of a Disciple: https://www.twelvechurch.net/dnahttps://12church.net is about structuring your life around the call to be a disciple of Jesus Christ who makes disciples. It's about learning HOW to make disciples in this time and place.

Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The Ritual of Combat and Modern Delusions. Germanicusargues that for the Romans, war and ceremony were inextricably linked, using triumphs and gladiatorial spectacles to forge a shared identity between the people and the military. These rituals were "incarnations of the spirit of Rome" triumphing over "barbaric" enemies, providing a form of "ecstatic participatory" fulfillment. He notes a parallel in modern America, which uses "ecstatic vicarity" through high-tech war footage and video games to maintain a similar bond. However, he warns that the U.S. dangerously underestimates adversaries like Iran by viewing them as "barbarians" rather than a sophisticated, 2,500-year-old culture. He laments the loss of the "sobriety" that guided Cold War leadership—where the stakes of nuclear confrontation were understood—noting that current American policy reflects a "gods of war" complex born from the easy successes of the early 1990s. Gaius adds that this technological display creates a "fog of war" where the enemy's own capabilities and "vote" in the conflict are often ignored. (1)

Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. The Imperial Decay of the American Order. The discussion shifts to the deterioration of American institutions, which Germanicus claims are now indistinguishable from the 3rd-century Roman imperial system. He describes a "long unraveling" of the constitutional order where Congress has become "nothing" and the Supreme Court is forced to uphold basic tenets it wasn't designed to enforce. This "emperor system" is characterized by an executive branch that is increasingly detached from reality regarding global economic stability and military resources. Furthermore, he asserts that the political establishment is too corrupt to produce genuine leaders, resulting in "pygmies" who are incapable of challenging the prevailing delusions. He warns that the U.S. is at a historical "inflection point" similar to when the Roman Empire began to collapse after centuries of dominance, noting that current leaders risk a global "economic fault" or famine by pursuing unsustainable escalations in Eurasia.

Today's Bible Verse: "Do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you can obey its evil desires." — Romans 6:12 Romans 6:12 challenges believers to consider who or what is truly in control of their lives. After explaining the new life believers have in Christ, Paul issues a warning: don't allow sin to take the throne of your heart. While sin no longer has the ultimate power it once did over those who belong to Jesus, it still seeks to influence our thoughts, desires, and decisions. Want to listen without ads?

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.

In this episode of the Pastor Theologians Podcast, we invite Heather Joy Zimmerman, a member of CPT's St Irenaeus fellowship, to share how profound personal suffering shaped both her faith and her calling. Reflecting on the loss of a close friend, her father's battle with cancer, and her journey through lament, Heather explains how God used Scripture—especially Romans 8 and the Psalms—to deepen her understanding of God's goodness and inspire a lifelong passion for helping others faithfully navigate suffering. Heather also traces her path from Moody Bible Institute to Dallas Theological Seminary and Wheaton College, where her academic work on the Psalms of lament and preaching emerged from her own spiritual journey. She discusses her passion for theological education, forming faithful preachers, and bridging the gap between the academy and the local church. The conversation offers a compelling vision of the Pastor Theologian—one whose scholarship is rooted in personal faith, pastoral ministry, and a deep love for Christ and his people.Join us at the CPT Conference

Preacher: David Chong Title: Your Presence is a Gift Sermon Series: A Life Given Away Scripture: Genesis 3:7-8, Romans 3:23, Genesis 3:21, Isaiah 61:10, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

We continue with the next set of episodes on the Book of Romans by MRM's Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson.

We start to share a prophetic two-part word about a spirit of accusation attacking the church and its leaders, rooted in Scripture from Isaiah, Zechariah, Romans, and Revelation. We explain how Satan and critical voices accuse God's people, how God removes our filthy garments and clothes us in righteousness, and urges you to wait on the Lord for renewal and strength. The full solution will be shared tomorrow; today's message brings encouragement, hope, and a call to trust God's covering and commission.

In this message on Romans 12:3–8, Dr. Kurt Bjorklund explores how God's grace calls every believer to serve the church with humility rather than pride or passivity. Discover what gift you've been given — and why waiting for the "perfect" moment to use it may be the very thing holding you back.Blog Post & Transcript - https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/blog-post/2026/7/20/impact-of-grace-2-ministry-engagementSubscribe to Orchard Hill Plus! - https://orchardhillplus.buzzsprout.com/shareConnect with Orchard Hill ChurchWebsite | https://www.orchardhillchurch.comMobile App | https://https://www.orchardhillchurch.com/appYouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/OrchardHillChurchPAFacebook | https://www.facebook.com/orchardhillchurch/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/orchardhillchurch/Twitter | https://twitter.com/orchard_hill

Today is day 201 and we are on the section on second part of the Fifth Petition: "As we forgive those who trespass against us". 201. Will your forgiveness of others always result in reconciliation?

Can parenting influence a child's sexuality? It's one of the most debated questions in Christian circles—and one that's often answered with extremes.In this episode of Calibrate Conversations, Brady Cone responds to the claim that "bad parenting doesn't make kids gay" and explores what Scripture, discipleship, and years of ministry reveal about family dynamics, childhood wounds, and same-sex attraction.This conversation is not about blaming parents.

The Israelites gather to confess their sins and seek forgiveness from God. This powerful psalm, attributed to the Levites, is a beautiful expression of God's faithfulness and love for his people, despite their constant rebellion and disobedience: The Israelites, feeling convicted after hearing the law read to them, come together to fast, wear sackcloth, and mourn their sins. The Levites lead the people in a psalm of praise and worship, highlighting God's glorious name and his role as the creator of the universe. The psalmist recounts God's mighty acts, from the deliverance from Egypt to the giving of the law on Mount Sinai. Despite the Israelites' repeated disobedience and rebellion, God remains faithful, providing for their needs and sustaining them in the wilderness for forty years. As we reflect on this psalm, we're reminded of God's unwavering love and faithfulness, even in the face of our own disobedience. The speaker encourages listeners to consider their own relationship with God, recognizing that our works don't save us, because God already did the work. Join us as we explore this powerful psalm and its relevance to our lives today. Related Episodes: Romans 8:28-39 (From Christ) - If God Is Loving, Why Do We Go Through Trials?

Guided Question How has God uniquely gifted you to serve others, and are you actively using those gifts to strengthen Christ's body—or are you content to simply attend church without engaging in His mission? Summary In this message, Dr. Robert Lewis walks through 1 Corinthians 12, explaining that the church is not merely an organization that runs programs but a living, supernatural body empowered by the Holy Spirit. Every believer receives spiritual gifts—not natural talents—to serve others, strengthen the church, and advance God's kingdom. These gifts are sovereignly distributed by the Holy Spirit and are meant to be exercised for the benefit of the whole body, not for personal recognition or spiritual status. Lewis highlights five foundational truths about spiritual gifts: they are given by the Holy Spirit, they vary among believers, they are distributed according to God's will, they provide believers with a unique place of ministry, and they ultimately call Christians to die to self in order to serve others. Discovering and faithfully using one's spiritual gift gives purpose, identity, and balance to the Christian life. The sermon then addresses the often-debated sign gifts—particularly miracles and healing. While acknowledging common arguments that some miraculous gifts ceased after the apostolic age, Lewis concludes that Scripture does not require that position. Instead, he believes God remains free to grant these gifts if He chooses, though any genuine manifestation must align with the biblical pattern and never contradict Scripture. Examining the New Testament, Lewis distinguishes miracles from healings and argues that biblical miracles primarily authenticated God's revelation, while biblical healings were instantaneous, complete, undeniable, and publicly verifiable. He expresses skepticism toward many modern healing ministries because they often lack these biblical characteristics, while affirming that God still answers prayer and sovereignly heals according to His will. Lewis concludes by returning to Paul's central message: the church flourishes only when every believer discovers and faithfully exercises the spiritual gifts God has given them. A Spirit-filled church is marked not by impressive programs or religious ritual, but by ordinary believers serving one another through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. Outline The supernatural nature of the church Five foundational truths about spiritual gifts Discovering your God-given identity through ministry Spiritual gifts require self-denial and servant-hearted living Are the sign gifts still active today? Biblical perspectives on miracles and healing The difference between God's healing and the gift of healing The church's call to use every believer's spiritual gifts Key Takeaways The Church Is a Living Body — The church is a supernatural organism empowered by the Holy Spirit, not merely an institution or organization. Every Believer Has a Spiritual Gift — The Holy Spirit sovereignly gives each Christian unique gifts to strengthen the body of Christ. Your Gift Gives You Purpose — Discovering and using your spiritual gift provides identity, direction, and meaningful ministry within the church. Ministry Requires Dying to Self — Spiritual gifts are never for self-promotion but for serving others in humility and sacrifice. God Is Sovereign Over Spiritual Gifts — While Scripture allows for God to work miraculously today, every claimed gift or miracle must be measured against biblical truth. God Still Heals — Though Lewis questions many modern healing ministries, he affirms that God continues to answer prayer and heal according to His sovereign will. A Healthy Church Is a Serving Church — The church reaches its fullest strength when every believer actively employs their spiritual gifts to serve others. Scripture References 1 Corinthians 12 — Spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit to build up Christ's body. 1 Corinthians 14 — Greater emphasis should be placed on gifts that edify the whole church. Romans 12:1–8 — Present yourself as a living sacrifice and faithfully use your spiritual gifts. Matthew 10:1 — Jesus gives His apostles authority over unclean spirits and disease. 2 Corinthians 12:7–10 — God's grace is sufficient, even when He chooses not to remove suffering. 1 Peter 4:10 — Every believer should use their gift to serve others faithfully. Matthew 16:24–25 — Following Christ requires denying yourself and giving your life away. Recorded 7.25.82

The Creative Power of Your Words • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give The Creative Power of Your Words explores the critical, yet often overlooked, spiritual battle over our speech. While many believers faithfully pray for breakthrough, they frequently undermine their own faith by speaking words of defeat, lack, and hopelessness. Drawing from eight foundational biblical truths, this message challenges us to align our speech with God's promises rather than our current circumstances or fears. It illustrates how our words serve as a rudder directing our lives, revealing the true condition of our hearts, and carrying the profound spiritual power to either build up or destroy. Ultimately, listeners are called to intentionally guard their mouths and consistently speak life, faith, and God's truth over every area of their lives. Scripture References Genesis 1:3 — God establishes creation through spoken words. Luke 6:45 — The mouth reveals the abundance of the heart. Romans 10:9-10 — Faith is activated and expressed through mouth confession. Numbers 13:30-33 — Words demonstrate whether we believe the report of faith or fear. James 3:4-5 — The tongue acts as a rudder directing the entire course of life. Proverbs 12:18 — Words have the power to pierce like a sword or promote health and healing. Matthew 12:36-37 — A sobering warning that we will give an account for every idle word. Isaiah 55:11 — God's Word never returns void and always accomplishes His purpose.

In this week's episode, we will discuss how the disciples followed Jesus whole-heartedly, why the disciples left everything behind for Him, why we don't follow Him whole-heartedly, why we were created, and 4 ways to start following Him whole-heartedly. Scripture discussed this week: Matthew 4:19-20, Romans 8:5-6, Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 9:9, John 12:25-26, Matthew 6:24, Galatians 2:20, and Matthew 16:26.Personal Instagram:

Psalm 41To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Blessed is the one who considers the poor! In the day of trouble the LORD delivers him; the LORD protects him and keeps him alive; he is called blessed in the land; you do not give him up to the will of his enemies. The LORD sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health. As for me, I said, O LORD, be gracious to me; heal me, for I have sinned against you! My enemies say of me in malice, When will he die, and his name perish? And when one comes to see me, he utters empty words, while his heart gathers iniquity; when he goes out, he tells it abroad. All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me. They say, A deadly thing is poured out on him; he will not rise again from where he lies. Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me. But you, O LORD, be gracious to me, and raise me up, that I may repay them! By this I know that you delight in me: my enemy will not shout in triumph over me. But you have upheld me because of my integrity, and set me in your presence forever. Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! Amen and Amen.Psalm 1:1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;Psalm 2:12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.Romans 5:14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.Romans 5:6,8For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.John 13:18-19I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But the Scripture will be fulfilled, ‘He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.' I am telling you this now, before it takes place, that when it does take place you may believe that I am he.2 Corinthians 8:9For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary This conversation centers on resting in what God has already done. The speakers emphasize that believers are not trying to earn God's promises, blessings, love, justification, or calling. These things have already been given through Christ. The real battle is learning to reject the lies of the soul and mind, accept God's truth, and walk out what He has already spoken. The discussion focuses on moving from striving into faith, from condemnation into acceptance, and from self-effort into standing in God's presence. The speakers point to the reality that God has already justified, glorified, blessed, chosen, and prepared His people for His purpose. The believer's part is to yield the will, believe the Word, and allow the Holy Spirit to unfold what God has already placed within. Show Notes Main Theme: Resting in the Finished Work of GodThe conversation opens with the idea that prayer is not always about asking God for what we lack, but believing and speaking from what He has already given.Rejecting Condemnation and AccusationRon points to Romans 8 and the reality that believers have already been justified and glorified. Because of this, accusations and condemnation should not define us.Soaking in the Love of GodThe speakers emphasize that God's love must penetrate beyond the mind and into the soul. The spirit receives God's Word, but the soul and mind often question it.Accepting What God Has Already DoneDavid shares that believers must accept that they are the temple of the Holy Spirit and that God has already brought them into His purpose.Created for This DayKen emphasizes that God has already prepared His people for this time. They were created to speak the Word, build up the family of God, and walk in His kingdom.Entering His RestLois brings in Ephesians, reminding everyone that believers are God's workmanship, created in Christ for good works prepared beforehand.The Battle of the WillMike says the true battle is not with outside circumstances or even Satan, but whether we will submit our will and thinking to God's will and Word.Belief Must Be Walked OutRon explains that belief is more than mental agreement. True belief is proven by walking out the Word of God.Seeing Ourselves as God Sees UsDale shares that God sees us differently than we see ourselves, and when He reveals who we are in Christ, it also changes how we see one another. Key Quotes “All the things that we're asking God for, we're asking amiss because they've already been given to us.” — Ken “Begin to bask in the glory that He's already given us.” — Ron “We reject the lies and accept the truth.” — Ken “At this point, we have to accept what He has already done with us and how He plans to use us to further His kingdom.” — David “You don't have to work your way into stuff any longer.” — Ken “We just need to appropriate what's already done.” — Lois “The true battle is over our will.” — Mike “Do we submit our thinking to His Word, and do we allow Him to transform us?” — Mike “Belief is not something I go, ‘Oh, I believe it.' No, prove to me you believe it. Walk it out.” — Ron “He sees me different than I see myself.” — Dale Scriptural References Romans 8 (30) This supports the theme that believers have already been justified and glorified in Christ. 1 Corinthians 6 (19) David refers to believers being the temple of the Holy Spirit, showing that God already dwells within His people. Ephesians 2 (10) Lois references believers as God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works that were prepared beforehand. Ephesians 1 (3–5) Mike points to the truth that God has blessed believers with every spiritual blessing and predestined them to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4 (9–11) This connects with the call to enter God's rest and cease from striving in self-effort. Romans 12 (2) Mike's point about submitting our thinking to the Word connects with being transformed by the renewing of the mind. 2 Corinthians 3 (18) The conversation reflects the truth that God is changing believers into His image as they stand in His presence. Galatians 2 (20) Monnie's statement about being identified with Christ connects with the reality of no longer living by the old self, but by Christ living within. Takeaway The Christian walk is not about striving to become something God has not yet made us. It is about believing, receiving, and walking out what He has already accomplished in Christ. The battle is won as we reject the lies, yield our will, stand in His presence, and allow His Word to unfold in us.
