In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by author, speaker, and former corporate executive Ava Pennington to talk about what it truly means to flourish—not by striving harder, but by surrendering more deeply to the Holy Spirit.Ava shares her journey from the corporate world to full-time writing and teaching, her powerful testimony of faith shaped over decades, and the sacred grief of losing her husband of 40 years to cancer. With honesty and wisdom, she reminds us that grief is not linear, seasons change, and God remains our anchor through it all.We dive into her newest book, Flourish: Grace-Centered Practices to Protect and Grow a Fruitful Life in Christ, and unpack the Fruit of the Spirit—why we often feel like we “don't have enough,” and how God grows fruit in us through surrender, not self-effort.In This Episode, We Talk About: • Leaving the corporate world to follow God's call • Walking through grief with hope and eternal perspective • Why the Fruit of the Spirit is grown through surrender, not striving • Recognizing seasons and giving ourselves grace within them • Learning to draw strength from God instead of ourselvesThis conversation is rich, grounding, and deeply encouraging for anyone navigating loss, calling, or a longing for deeper spiritual growth.Bio:Ava Pennington is an accomplished author, speaker, and Bible teacher whose previous work, Reflections on the Names of God, won third place in the 2023 Golden Scroll Awards. Her passion for helping believers live abundantly in Christ shines through in Flourish, making her an engaging guest for podcasts, radio shows, or written features.Anchor Verses:Proverbs 18:10Ephesians 6:10Connect with Ava:Website: https://avapennington.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/share/1By4whU6i9/?mibextid=wwXIfr***We love hearing from you!

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now--Every new year brings a familiar pressure: do more, be better, try harder. But on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus offered His disciples something radically different. In a moment filled with uncertainty, anxiety, and transition, He revealed the true secrets to a fruitful life—not through striving, but through connection.A Moment of TransitionJohn 15 isn't a traditional “New Year's passage,” but it may be the most important chapter for stepping into a new season. Jesus and His disciples are in the Upper Room. He has washed their feet. They've shared the Last Supper. Judas has already left. The weight of what's coming hangs heavy in the air.This moment feels like a final speech—Jesus preparing His closest followers for life without His physical presence. Twice in John 14, He tells them not to let their hearts be troubled or afraid. And yet, they clearly are.We can relate. None of us knows what awaits us in the coming year. We don't know what challenges, changes, or losses might be ahead. So how can we live without fear? Jesus answers that question in John 15.Secret #1: Think Like a Producer, Not a ConsumerJesus begins with a metaphor:John 15:1–2 (NLT) – “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.”The disciples were likely confused. They were focused on themselves—Why are you leaving us? Why can't we go with you? But Jesus flips the perspective. He shifts the focus outward.Fruitfulness isn't about self-improvement; it's about impact.A consumer mindset asks, What do I get out of this?A producer mindset asks, What can God do through me?This changes everything—our marriages, our parenting, our work, our church involvement. Instead of seeing ourselves as victims of circumstances, we begin asking how we can bring peace, serve others, and make disciples. Jesus had just modeled this by washing His disciples' feet.A fruitful life starts when we stop making it all about us.Secret #2: Stay Connected to the VineJesus continues:John 15:4–5 (NLT) – “Remain in me, and I will remain in you… For apart from me you can do nothing.”The image is organic, not mechanical. Branches don't strive to produce fruit; they simply stay connected. This runs counter to how we're wired. We're taught to maximize effort, build better habits, and dig deeper into ourselves.But Jesus says fruit comes from abiding—learning the art of being with Him.That's harder than it sounds. Many of us are good at doing things for God, but not being with God. Remaining requires intentional...

As we reach the end of the year, Scripture consistently calls God's people to pause, remember, and give thanks for all He has done. Reflection can stir up fresh faith and clarify the lessons God wants to teach us. When we intentionally look back and recognize God's faithfulness, such as His provision, protection, correction, and even through challenges, we cultivate a deeper trust that He will continue to lead us forward.Vien LauretaSunday, December 28, 2025 Live at 6:00PM

Galatians 5:22-23 | Steven Parkin It can be easy to live a life filled with good works that is devoid of goodness. To guard against this lifeless moralism, let us instead press in to know God more. He is the one true source of goodness, and any good thing we have comes only from him. Let us embrace the goodness of God and see it overflow in our hearts to others!

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Luke 2:10-11 - The Christmas Announcement Romans 15:13 - I Am Praying for You Isaiah 9:6 - I Am Praying for You No Episode on Christmas Day Psalm 92:12-14 - I Will be Fruitful in my Old Age

Today's Promise: Psalm 92:12-14 What does it really mean to flourish as a follower of Christ? Especially when life is hard and the years are passing? Scripture gives us a powerful promise: God's people are not destined to fade, but to thrive.   In today's episode, we turn to the words of the psalmist, who paints a vivid picture of the life of those who have been made righteous through faith in Christ. He highlights four remarkable truths God promises to His people. Like a palm tree, you can flourish even in harsh conditions. As you walk faithfully with the Lord, you can remain strong when others falter.   You are invited to live daily in the presence of God, rooted in His house. And perhaps most encouraging of all, fruitfulness is not limited to youth. God promises vitality, purpose, and spiritual impact even in old age.   If you've ever wondered whether growth, strength, and usefulness are still possible in every season of life, this promise is for you.

Today we're reading Genesis 3:20-24 where Adam is exiled from the tree of life. After Adam and Eve sin, God casts them away from the tree of life. And, at the east of the garden, God stations spiritual guardians to prevent anyone from finding the way back to the tree of life. Have you ever wondered why God places a flaming sword and cherubim? Why does God mention the East? And why does He making coverings for Adam and Eve? Is there a deeper message underneath all of this that we've possibly missed? To really see the spiritual wisdom here, we need to understand how this connects to God's fiery presence in the sacred temple.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

Good Morning ARISE Family! We Are Continuing To Honor the Lord For His Verity & He has Released Healing & Direction For Us This Morning. He is So Good!! Have A Great Weekend!

Today we're reading Genesis 3:14-19 where Adam and Eve receive the natural consequences for sin along with the serpent. When Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, they become naked and ashamed. Then, God shows up, to gives the appropriate consequences to Adam, Eve and the serpent. And, if you look closely, you'll notice some weird details including several similarities in their consequences. Most importantly, this becomes the first messianic gospel prophecy. So, why is the snake sentenced to eating dust if snakes already do that? Why is the ground cursed now because of Adam? And, who is this seed of the woman that will crush the snake?Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

The post Fruitful Worship And Barren Criticism – 2 Samuel 6:21-23 – December 14, 2025 first appeared on Enduring Word.

1. Its Origin 2. Its Shape 3. Its Effect

Today we're reading Genesis 3:8-13 where Adam and Eve find themselves naked, ashamed and hiding from God. In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, and then become aware of their nakedness. Then we're told they hid themselves because they heard the sound of God walking towards them in the cool of the day. And, there are two simple words that might indicate something deeper is going on here. I can't wait to show you what I overlooked for years in this story. It absolutely blew my mind. So, why do they hide? What do they hear? And, why does it mention the “cool of the day?” You might think these are extra, filler details in the fall of man story, but Genesis 3, is inviting us to ask deeper questions to discover deeper truths about God and mankind.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

On this week's episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead - writer, mother, advocate, and author of the upcoming book Infertile but Fruitful. Leigh is a dear friend and a woman whose grace, honesty, and deep, abiding love shine through every part of her story. Leigh has walked the long, winding road of infertility - a journey that can be isolating, overwhelming, and deeply painful. Although she never conceived children biologically, Leigh and her husband, Carter, became parents in another beautiful way: through the adoption of their four incredible boys. Their family is a powerful testament to embracing the path that life brings before you - with purpose, openness, and joy. They remind all of us that life's greatest gifts often arrive in forms we never expected. What makes Leigh's voice so extraordinary is the way she invites us to look at our own stories in a new way - especially the pieces that feel unfinished or heavy. For anyone who is hoping, praying, and trying for children… Leigh's story is a reminder not to overlook the quiet lessons and unexpected graces hidden along the way. Infertility can feel like waiting in the dark, but it does not mean your story is stalled or empty. There is beauty unfolding in every chapter of your life. There is purpose in the waiting. And Leigh is one of the most tender, wise, and hope-filled examples of that truth. In this episode, you'll hear: ✨ Leigh's personal journey with infertility and adoption; ✨ How she and Carter grew their family through the adoption of their four sons; ✨ The lessons found in waiting, longing, and surrender; ✨ The challenges and beauty of walking a path you never expected; ✨ Leigh's wisdom for women navigating infertility or uncertainty in their own stories; ✨ And so much more.

Be Fruitful or something...like Phillip Rivers.

God desires us to live a life fully pleasing to Him. From this week's passage, hear how He generously provides everything needed for that life.Visit: abideatascadero.orgEmail: info@abideatascadero.orgInstagram: @abide.calvary_atascFacebook: @AbideCalvaryAtascadero

Today we're reading Genesis 3:1-7. You probably know the story known as the fall of man in Genesis 3. Mankind rebels against God, and there are longterm consequences for the entire world. But, why does this story open with a serpent? Why is he said to be “crafty?” What is with the odd description of the forbidden fruit? And, what if the Hebrew indicates this is not even a snake at all? These are the kinds of questions I didn't know to ask about this story, but In this video, we're going to ask them.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

Minister to Married Young Adults and The4 Venue Pastor, Brad Talbert, explores the four types of hearts that receive God's word differently revealed in Jesus' parable of the sower. The hard heart has no room for spiritual truth to penetrate. The shallow heart receives God's word with initial joy but falls away when difficulties arise. The crowded heart allows worries and material concerns to choke out spiritual growth. The fruitful heart hears, understands, and responds to God's word, producing abundant spiritual fruit. Rather than representing different types of people, these hearts reflect our spiritual condition in different seasons of life.

In this episode of What We Can't Not Talk About, host Dr. Marianna Orlandi welcomes Leigh Fitzpatrick Snead— The Catholic Institute Fellow and author of Infertile but Fruitful—for a deep and honest conversation about the cross of infertility in marriage. Snead speaks openly about the burdens infertile couples face: the grief, the search for answers, the strain on hope, and the temptation toward despair. She shares how faith anchors couples in this trial, how to confront regret and remedies, and how God can bring real fruitfulness even when the story does not end in pregnancy. Rooted in her own lived experience, Snead offers compassionate, practical, and theologically grounded advice for couples walking this painful path—reminding us that the Incarnation reveals the meaning of every human longing and every unfulfilled desire.

Message from Greg Neal on November 20, 2025

Today we're reading Genesis 2:8-17. Did you know that Adam was NOT made in the garden of Eden? Technically, he was made from the dust outside of Eden. And, there's a deeper reason why. You might not agree with this interpretation, but give me a chance to prove this viewpoint from the Scriptures. See, this small revelation blew my mind once I realized what was happening here. This is just one of the cool details we'll explore in this video on Genesis 2.Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!Free Online Bible CoursesOrder My Book "Fruitful"Support This MinistryOur WebsiteOur Youtube ChannelOur Second Youtube Channel

Married love has an “innate language” of total and mutual self-giving. This language expresses itself in the marital act of sexual intimacy. Marital love mirrors God's love. It is free, total, faithful, and fruitful. Fr. Mike explains that in the face of this reality, contraception and infidelity directly contradict the marital covenant between a man and a woman.
