Podcasts about gift of faith

Every Christian lives by faith every day. Like a muscle, faith grows stronger when you exercise it—and it weakens when you default to self-reliance. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that while all believers must walk by faith to mature in Christ, some are also given a distinct gift of faith by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit-gifted faith is marked by a remarkable steadiness: it views God's purposes as if they are already accomplished. Dr. Youssef points to biblical examples: Joseph held onto a God-given dream through betrayal, slavery, false accusation, and years in prison—because the dream was God's, not his own. Moses persevered through Pharaoh's hardened refusals, trusting that God would deliver His people exactly as promised. Nehemiah kept building despite opposition, intimidation, and doubt—because he believed God had called him to the work. Not everyone will live the “headline” kind of life these men did—but God still gives the gift of faith to believers today, and their confidence becomes fuel for others to keep going. If you're facing opposition, delays, or obstacles, this devotional will encourage you to keep exercising faith—and to thank God for those whose Spirit-given faith helps the Church press forward in victory. Prayer: God, help me to discern Your will for my life and to walk by faith every day. May I grow in faith as I trust Your Word, leaning not on my own understanding. Spirit, grow the spiritual fruit of faith in my life as I fix my eyes on Christ, my Savior. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “[I]f you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).

The Gift of Faith III

What does faith look like in practice? Drawing from Romans 4 and stories of ministry in Nepal, this sermon explores faith as a gift from God—not something we achieve, but something we receive. Through seasons of waiting, prayer, community, and trust, we discover that God remains faithful to His promises and continues to transform lives through the power of His Spirit and the witness of His people.

The Gift of Faith

This week, Fr. Ivan challenges us to live as Christians live when Jesus asks us to "Keep my commands," if we love Him. It's hard to summarize all of them, but he highlights the following:Pray. Intercede for others.Turn internal criticism into thanksgiving.Listen. Pay attention.Celebrate and appreciate the triumphs and gifts of others.Share. Be generous with your time and your things.Avoid asking "What's in it for me?"Forgive daily.Remember everyone's dignity. Never use others.

Faith begins where comfort ends. Pastor Randy unpacks the gift of faith found in scripture and how we all can experience a greater measure of the Holy Spirit over our lives.

Romans 12 ...the measure of faith that God has given to you...

Faith is one of the primary foundations of our relationship with God. In Hebrew, the word for faith is Emunah. In this episode, Rabbi Schneider introduces the principles of Biblical Emunah and how you can put them into action in your life. **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate  **** TEACHING NOTES -   https://djj.show/suq

In this episode, we discuss the nature of God, “who” God is, beginning with God the Father. Our reading explains how the Creed begins with God the Father because he is the first Divine Person of the most Holy Trinity. God is one Divine Being made up of three persons, and his identity is a deep mystery. Fr. Mike explains that God is a single ‘what' made up of three ‘who's.' Despite this mystery, God is not an anonymous force. He has revealed himself to us by making his name known to us, and he has thus made himself accessible. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 198-204. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

The Catechism we are reading follows the structure of the Apostles' Creed with frequent references to the Nicene Creed for further details and explanations. Together, these Creeds aid us in articulating the beliefs we share with all members of the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike discusses why St. Ambrose refers to the Creed as “an ever-present guardian” and “treasure of our soul.” He encourages us not to take this gift for granted. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 193-197.

Dr. Tom Curran continues to explore theological formation, formation of the mind, by sharing insights from the book The Gift of Faith by Fr. Tadeusz Dajczer. Tom reflects on principles, such as: faith brings a light, understanding through experience, paradoxical truths, mystery increased through knowledge, and more!

As Catholics, we can't pick and choose the areas of Church teaching we want to accept; we must believe the entire truth of the Faith because we believe in God, who has revealed it to us. Fr. Mike teaches us to pray daily to be good students as we learn and grow from our mother, the Church. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 176-184.

This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that faith is not a human achievement but a divine gift. We all wrestle with the question of faith, and all human objects of trust eventually collapse yet the foundation of true faith is unshakable because it rests on God's Word. Faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction of what we cannot yet see. Like the ancients, we trust before we see, walking by faith and not by sight. Reality itself was spoken into being by the Word, and our salvation is received by grace through faith, a gift, not a work. The power is not in the strength of our faith but in its object: Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

What is the supernatural gift of faith—and how is it different from saving or everyday faith? In Part 6 of his Spiritual Gifts series, Pastor Allen Nolan unpacks this powerful manifestation gift of the Holy Spirit, showing how it operates beyond human confidence and taps into divine assurance. Learn how this gift fuels bold action, miraculous trust, and unwavering confidence in God's promises. This message will challenge and inspire you to walk in deeper spiritual authority and dependence on the Spirit.

In this episode, let's talk about the idea in the new testament that the Apostle, Paul, puts forth as "the gift of faith." In episodes past, I have commented that rather than the gift of faith, I have the gift of skepticism and it has sparked many comments and conversations. Was I wrong? Do I not have the gift of faith? What does that even mean? Isn't everyone's faith a gift? Let's discuss!

We embrace the gift of faith and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ by what we say and do. (Lectionary #425) August 25, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Jesus offers a parable about a sower of seeds, revealing how different types of soil lead to vastly different outcomes. (Lectionary #397) July 23, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Read OnlineAt that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike.”  Matthew 11:25This passage is in stark contrast to the passage just before it in which Jesus chastised the towns of Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum for not repenting and believing in Him. And as soon as Jesus issued those rebukes, He turned His eyes to Heaven and offered praise to the Father for revealing the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven to those who were “childlike.”One of the greatest threats to a pure and childlike faith is intellectual pride. Those who consider themselves as “wise and learned” are often tempted to rely upon their own reasoning abilities to come to conclusions and beliefs in life. The problem is that even though the matters of our faith are fully reasonable, they go beyond the conclusions that human reason alone can achieve. We cannot figure out God by ourselves. We need the gift of faith for that, and the gift of faith begins with a spiritual communication from God through which He reveals to us Who He is and what is true. Only the childlike, meaning, those who are humble, are able to hear this form of communication from God and respond.This passage also reveals to us that Jesus passionately rejoices in this form of humble faith. He gives “praise” to the Father in Heaven for witnessing such faith, because Jesus knows that this form of faith originates from the Father. In your life, it is important that you regularly ponder whether you are more like the wise and learned or like those who are childlike. Though God is an infinite and incomprehensible mystery, He must be known. And the only way we can come to know God is if He reveals Himself to us. And the only way God will reveal Himself to us is if we remain humble and childlike.As we come to childlike faith, we must also imitate the praise that Jesus offered the Father for the faith that He witnessed in the lives of His followers. We, too, must turn our eyes to those who clearly manifest this pure knowledge of God by the gift of faith. As we see this faith lived, we must rejoice and offer praise to the Father. And this act of praise must be given not only when we see faith alive in others, it must also be given when we see the gift of faith grow within our own soul. We must foster a holy awe of what God does within us, and we must rejoice in that experience. Reflect, today, upon Jesus giving praise to the Father as He witnesses the faith born in the hearts of His followers. When Jesus looks at you, what does He do? Does He issue chastisements? Or does His Sacred Heart rejoice and give praise for what He sees. Give joy to the Heart of Christ by humbling yourself to the point that you, too, are counted among the childlike who truly know and love God. My rejoicing Lord, You are attentive to the workings of grace in every human heart. As You see the Voice of the Father speaking to Your children, You rejoice at such a sight. Dear Lord, I pray that my own heart will be the cause of Your joy and Your praise of the Father in Heaven. Please speak to me and help me to believe with all my heart. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: James Tissot, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
