If you've ever wondered how to fully step into the best version of yourself — before the world even sees it — this episode is for you. One of my mentees, Brady Hutchins flips the script and interviews me on everything from overcoming limiting beliefs, to staying present in every interaction, to finding your God-given purpose. You'll hear raw, behind- the-scenes, never before told stories from my experiences coaching elite athletes like Drew Brees, LaDainian Tomlinson, and Jordan Love, as well as lessons that apply to anyone — from pro athletes to parents, entrepreneurs, and everyday leaders. This is a conversation about the stuff you don't see on TV — the pain, the setbacks, the faith, and the relentless mindset it takes to keep going when the voices in your head say, “I can't.” Here are the big questions Coach Hutchins asks me at his recent Retreat held at IMPACT-X Performance (Huntington Beach, CA): What are the most common limiting beliefs you've seen — even in high performers? We talk about the “I can't” voice that lives in all of us and how to shut it down.  How can someone start owning their potential now, even before the evidence shows up? We dig into the idea of being him (or her) before you're him (or her) — and what that looks like in everyday life. How do you maintain energy and presence whether you're with NFL MVPs or brand-new clients? I share some of my behind-the-scenes hacks and why every person is important and the power of truly listening. Can you share a behind-the-scenes story from your time with a pro athlete? From Drew Brees' shoulder injury and devastating personal loss… to his Super Bowl win, we talk about the unseen grit and faith it took to get there. What's a more current example of an athlete's life off the field? The untold story of Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love, his personal tragedy, and his mission to use his platform to help others. How do you find mentors at the highest level? This is where I talk about how and why mentors often “appear” as you grow — and why you should seek them in multiple areas of life. How do you handle situations where you can't directly mentor someone who wants it? I share WHY every company should consider a continuum of coaching — from physical to mindset to leadership to life. How do you discover your deepest, divine purpose? We go deep into my own journey — from football dreams, to a career-ending injury, to finding my calling in helping people change their lives. This episode is going to challenge you to think differently about your identity, your purpose, and your path forward. Whether you're at the top of your game or just getting started, these principles will help you step more boldly into the person you were created to be. Friends, if today's conversation brings you value, here's what I ask: Please SHARE this episode on Instagram and tag me @ToddDurkin and @hutchfitcoaching— let us know your biggest takeaway.

Send us a textForrest Frank's viral song “Your Way's Better” is catchy, AND its lyrics point us to a deeper truth worth slowing down to consider: God's way truly is better. From Paul's letter to the Romans to Israel's wilderness experiences, Scripture shows us over and over again the futility of choosing our own way over God's way. This week on More Than a Song, we'll explore Romans 10 and discover how clinging to our own efforts can keep us from the righteousness that only comes through Christ.Key PointsThe lyrics highlight a clear contrast between the ways of sin and the ways of God.Romans 10:1–4 reveals the Jews' “misdirected zeal” as they cling to their own way instead of embracing God's way through Christ.God's way of making us right with Himself is not through law-keeping, but through faith in Jesus.The warnings of misdirected zeal, misunderstanding, and clinging to self-effort apply just as much to us today as they did to the Jews of Paul's day.Studying larger sections of Scripture (like Romans 9–11) helps us grasp the full context of Paul's arguments and God's redemptive plan.Scripture ReferencesRomans 10:1–4 – God's way of making people right with Himself through Christ.Romans 9:4–5, 20 – Israel's privileges and Paul's reminder of God's sovereignty.Exodus 15 – God sets forth His way in contrast to Egypt and Canaan.Matthew 16:23–24 – Jesus rebukes Peter and calls His followers to walk in His way.Bible Interaction Tool Exercises (BITEs)Study larger chunks of Scripture – read Romans 9–11 for context.Read in context – expand to the chapter before and after your focus passage (this is a loose rule...I explain more on the episode)Compare translations – notice how different versions phrase “God's way” vs. “their own way.”Use section headings – gain bearings in a familiar text by scanning how thoughts are grouped.Consider opposites – clarify what God's way is by identifying what it is not.Additional ResourcesDownload the free Episode GuideLyrics for Your Way's Better by Forrest Frank – NewReleaseToday.comEpisode 519 – Looking at how God reigns with wisdom, power, and love.Episode 518 – Jesus rebukes Peter for having in mind the things of man instead of the things of God, then teaches how to follow Him.Episode 515 – Israel's early wilderness experiences in Exodus 15, contrasting God's way with the ways of Egypt and Canaan.This Week's ChallengeRead Romans 9-11. I recommend reading it several times in various translations. For example, the phrasing “God's way” vs. “their own way” is found in the New Living Translation, and I may have missed it in the ESV or CSB, which I often read and study. Look closely at the characteristics of the people and God's ways.

When we hold onto sin in our lives, we dirty our hearts more and more. God cannot live amongst sin and therefore brings us through fiery circumstances for the purpose of refining us and cleaning us up. When He searches our hearts and reveals sin in our lives, we need to immediately repent and turn away from the sin and towards God.

Here you are trying to pursue a godly life, when you fall into some sin. Now what do you do? Pastor Colin talks about the provision God has made for us when we sin.

Sunday Service: Laodicea, a wealthy and self-sufficient city known for its banking, textiles, and medical advancements, had allowed its prosperity to blind it to its need for God. Jesus, identifying Himself as the Amen—the fulfillment of God's promises and the beginning of God's new family—reminded them that everything centers on Him, not their riches. Using the city's lukewarm water supply as an illustration, He exposed how their faith had become useless—neither refreshing like cold water nor healing like hot, but corrupted by pride and self-reliance. Unlike other churches, Laodicea received no praise, only rebuke, for their love of money had displaced their love for God, echoing the warnings given to Israel and the lesson of the rich young ruler. Jesus called them to trade worldly wealth for spiritual riches, to put on the white garment of salvation, and to see clearly through His truth rather than through the blindness of prosperity. Though they had shut Him out, His discipline proved His love, and He stood ready to reenter if they repented and invited Him back in. This warning extended beyond Laodicea, reminding all believers that salvation requires ongoing faithfulness, dependence on Christ alone, and a refusal to let wealth or self-sufficiency replace devotion to Him.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! On this very first day of September, join your host Hunter as we continue our journey through the Bible on Day 244. Today's readings take us through Ezekiel chapters 15 and 16, Psalm 70, and Revelation chapter 6. Hunter reflects on vivid scriptural images of God's deep, passionate love for his people—even in the face of heartbreak, betrayal, and waywardness. With honest, stirring language, we're reminded that God is not distant or unmoved; instead, His love for us is relentless and restorative, culminating in the promise of making all things new through Christ. As always, the episode closes with heartfelt prayers for peace, restoration, and a renewed awareness of God's immeasurable love. Plus, we hear greetings from listeners around the globe, and Hunter gives a shout out to the faithful partners who help keep this community growing. Settle in with us today as we listen, reflect, and remember just how loved we truly are. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The weight of betrayal—and the depths of God's love. The prophet searches for words, for any comparison that can capture the astonishing rebellion and wandering of God's people, but it seems one image isn't enough. So Ezekiel weaves together the agony of a parent hurt and disgraced by a child's rejection and the heartbreak of a spouse betrayed by infidelity. It's as if only the harshest metaphors—abandonment, scorn, unfaithfulness—come close to how God has experienced our betrayal. But what Ezekiel means for us to see is not a distant or impassive God, but a God whose heart breaks for his children. God is not cold or removed; he is like a loving parent, or a spouse long-suffering and grieved by unfaithfulness. And in all this, the astonishing truth is that God is determined to restore this broken relationship. The end of the story is not bitterness or vengeance, but a restoration so deep and new that it surpasses every failure—like a wedding feast where God takes back his wayward bride, making all things new. This is a passionate love story—one that shakes us awake, urging us to recognize the depth of God's longing for his people. Yet, even as Ezekiel's words startle us, it is in Jesus that we see the perfect picture. Where the prophet's analogies reach their limits, Jesus reveals God's love in flesh and blood—a love that goes to the deepest cost, to the cross, to bring us home, to restore all that was lost. This is the truth we're called to live awakened to today: the deep, relentless, rescuing love of God, fully revealed in Christ. May we see it. May our hearts be stirred to what truly is—that we are loved with a love beyond our imagining, and that God is working even now to make all things new. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, and my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day. Preserve us with your mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Dear Lord, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you, bring the nations into your fold. Pour out your spirit on all flesh and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. And now, Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, joy. O Lord, grant that I might not seek so much to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned. It is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen. Almighty God, father of all mercies, we, your grateful children, give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving kindness to us and all you have made. We bless you for your creation, preservation and all the blessings of this life. And above all, for your immeasurable love and your redemption of the world through our Lord Jesus Christ. For the means of grace and the hope of glory, Lord, we pray, give us such awareness of your mercies that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but with our lives, by the giving up of ourselves for your service in holiness and righteousness all our days. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, to whom with you and the Holy Spirit be all honor and glory through all ages. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

PART 2   3. Some important quotes stand out!  4.  His comments about the ROD are really good in chapter 11 Children are not born morally and ethically neutral If they are they don't need correction, just direction If they are not, then they need correction Our child's problem is that he or she is a sinner! p. 102. Folly is the problem we have to address according to proverbs Folly is not childishness Folly describes the person who does not fear God A fools life is run by his desires and fears The fool lives out of the immediacy of his lusts, cravings, expectations, hopes, and fears The issue is authority Will a child live under the authority of God and his parents? Will he/she live under their own authority? All children choose to live under their own authority: I don't want my diaper changed I don't want to sit quietly at the table during this meal You are going to make me and if you do I will scream and throw a huge fit Leave this to take root and grow, and it produces “a rebellious teenager who will not allow anyone to rule him.” “God has ordained the rod of discipline for this condition.” p. 103 “Confrontation, with the immediate and undeniably tactile sensation of a spanking, renders an implacable child sweet.” (p. 103) The quote on p 103 is massively important The function of the rod It imparts wisdom Pr 29:15, which is tied to the fear of god “It creates an atmosphere in which instruction can be given. The spanking renders the child compliant and ready to receive life-giving words.”  (p 104) Tripp deals with the question - don't all children eventually learn to obey? He say NO!! Proverbs 29:15, 17 The rod defined - p. 104 “The rod is a parent, in faith toward God and faithfullness toward his or her children, undertaking the responsibility of careful, timely, measured, and controlled use of physical punishment to underscore the importance of obeying God, thus rescuing the child from continuing in his foolishness unto death.”  It is a parental exercise It is an act of faith in God and His Word It is an act of faithfulness - an expression of love and comitment It is an act of responsibility - not a parent determining to punish, but a parent determining to obey It is an act of physical punishment Not venting or parental anger Not frustration Not based on a feeling of my child is bothering me It is always measured and controlled It is a rescue mission Rescues the child from continuing in foolishness To ignore your child's rebellion against God's authority is to ultimately brings God's greater chastisement into their lives. The Rod clarified Not unbridled temper Not the right to hit my child Not venting or frustration not retribution Not payment but restoration Not vindictive The Rod objected I love my child too much too spank You love yourself too much to spank them I am afraid I will hurt them “Biblically-balanced discipline never physically endangers a child” I am afraid it will make him rebellious and angry Proverbs 29:17 teaches the exact opposite I am afraid it will teach them to hit Only if you spank in anger It doesn't work It doesn't when you spank in anger or out-of-control It doesn't when you are inconsistent It doesn't when you fail to be persistent It doesn't when you aren't effective I could be arrested for child abuse Only spank in the privacy of your home and do it right

“Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.” — Psalm 73:24 The Psalmist felt his need of divine guidance. He had just been discovering the foolishness of his own heart, and lest he should be constantly led astray by it, he resolved that God's counsel should henceforth guide him. A […]

On this podcast we play interactive games while learning about the gospel and atonement of Jesus Christ.If your children would like to be guests on this podcast or to receive a baptism shout out, please email us at their info at comefollowmekidspodcast@gmail.com From the come follow me manual:Anciently, the Lord commanded Moses to build a tabernacle “according to the pattern shewed to [him] in the mount” (⁠Hebrews 8:5⁠; see also Exodus 25:8–9⁠). The tabernacle was to be the center of Israel's wilderness camp (see Numbers 2:1–2⁠).In 1833, the Lord commanded Joseph Smith to build temples “not after the manner of the world” but rather “after the manner which I shall show” (⁠Doctrine and Covenants 95:13–14⁠; see also 97:10⁠). Like the tabernacle in the wilderness, the temple was meant to be a central feature in Kirtland (see Doctrine and Covenants 94:1⁠).Today, temples are found around the world. Even if they aren't at the center of our cities, they point us to Christ, who should be the center of our lives. Though each temple differs in appearance, within them we learn the same divine pattern—a heavenly plan to bring us back into the presence of God. Sacred ordinances and covenants connect us to Christ and strengthen our families “not after the manner of the world” but after the pattern God shows us.

Bible Reading: Psalm 51:1-10; Matthew 23:25-28"Wow, Mom! Look at that huge caramel apple!" Zayne exclaimed when he and his mom walked into the grocery store. "Can I get it to take to school tomorrow?""Well, a regular apple would be better for you, but that one is a beauty," Mom said. "Okay. You can have it this time."During class the next morning, Zayne thought about the caramel apple in his lunch bag. His mouth watered as he imagined biting into it. He was glad when lunchtime finally came. Sandwich first, Zayne told himself. Then the carrot sticks. At last he pulled out the apple. He held it up to show his friends, and one of them tried to grab it. Zayne laughed and quickly bit into it. To his great dismay, the inside of the apple was soft and brown, and it tasted horrible! He tried to just eat the caramel on the outside, but he kept getting some of the soft apple with it.When Zayne got home, he opened the refrigerator to find a snack. There in the fruit bin were several shiny red apples. He looked at them, but chose a cheese stick instead. "I don't trust apples anymore," he told Mom when she took one out. "The one we bought yesterday was no good. I had to throw it away." "What a shame," said Mom, shaking her head. "It was so pretty!" She grinned at Zayne. "But you know, it's a good reminder of how we can be like that apple.""We can?" asked Zayne. "How?""People aren't always what they appear to be," Mom explained. "It's pretty easy for us to hide thoughts and feelings from other people--it's even possible for us to keep others from seeing sin we're holding on to in our lives. But we can't hide anything from God. He isn't fooled by false outer appearances because He sees our hearts. Even if no one else knows about wrong things we're doing or thinking about others, He does. And if we confess them to Jesus, He will forgive us and make us clean."Mom cut into her apple. "You can see the inside of this apple now, and it looks great," she told Zayne as she handed him a slice. "Have a piece." –Karen R. LocklearHow About You?Have you learned how to hide sin in your life from others? You may be able to fool other people, but you can't fool God. The Pharisees in today's Bible reading were able to make themselves look good to people, but Jesus saw what was in their hearts--and He sees what's in your heart too. If there's sin in your heart, confess it to Jesus so He can make you clean. Today's Key Verse:You [God] alone know every human heart. (CSB) (1 Kings 8:39 )Today's Key Thought:God sees your heart

This is the twelfth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. In the final lesson, we bring the threads together by affirming that faithful apologetics must be rooted in a comprehensive Christ-centered worldview. You will be reminded that defending the faith is not merely about technique but about seeing all of life through the “spectacles of Scripture.” From metaphysics to ethics, Christ's lordship governs our understanding and our witness. This conclusion encourages you to press on in the calling of 1 Peter 3:15—to make a defense for the hope within you—with clarity, humility, and unwavering trust in the sufficiency of God's word.

In Firm Foundation, Priscilla Shirer shares a powerful message about the foundation we're building for our lives. Everyone is building—but not every foundation will last. In Matthew 7, Jesus tells the story of two houses: one built wisely, the other foolishly. When storms come, they reveal whether our lives are built on shortcuts or on a genuine, trusting relationship with God. The question is this: Are we aligning our lives with God's Word? Are we committed to obeying Him no matter what? Storms are unavoidable—but only what is built on God is unshakable.   Thank you for partnering with Social Dallas!

In this episode of the Unlocking Greatness Podcast, I share how wisdom... God's wisdom... can transform fear into clarity, and uncertainty into action. Drawing from Proverbs 3, I walk through how leaning on our own understanding only keeps us stuck, but seeking God's guidance opens the doors we never thought possible. From financial stress to personal struggles, we can find favor, understanding, and direction when we invite God into every choice, every plan, and every fear.This is your reminder: you don't have to face life's challenges alone. You don't have to let fear rule your decisions. Let's seek wisdom together, let's grow, and let's unlock the clarity and favor that has always been waiting for you… because the path to greatness begins when we stop leaning on our own understanding and start leaning on His!The audiobook for “necessary.” by Zenja Glass is now available as 'Pay What You Want' exclusively at https://www.UnlockingGreatness.comAvailable also as a paperback worldwide via Amazon. Join the Unlocking Greatness Community at: https://www.UnlockingGreatness.comListen to the Unlocking Greatness Podcast with Zenja Glass on your favorite streaming platform!

Romans 6:7 — The phrase “don't be a baby” is used in everyday language, but what does that imply? It does not mean that people should put aside their childish ways, but that they are no longer a child so they should act like an adult. In the sermon on Romans 6:7 titled “Freed from the Tyranny of Sin,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones expands on his previous sermon by highlighting the same emphasis that Paul writes about in this passage. Once again, Paul is confirming that the old self has died with Christ and so the Christian has been set free from sin. They are no longer under the reign of sin and should live in accordance to this truth. Those who are in Christ are justified from the guilt of sin. Paul once again proves the assurance of salvation. While mortal bodies may still be tempted with sin, Christ's Holy Spirit dwells within and are no longer under the rule of sin. In the final day when Christ calls the believers home to Heaven, mortal bodies will then be free of all temptation. Dr. Lloyd-Jones encourages God's people to lift their eyes to anticipate that glorious day.

Unleashed! The Political News Hour with Mayor Deb – Today, we live in exciting and prophetic times. Think Revelations “mark of the beast.” Think Palantir. Think Antichrist. Are we witnessing mere coincidences at play or is something much bigger being unveiled before our eyes? If it is by design, then who designed it? God or the elites? Is everything playing out exactly like God's word said it would?

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – We're thinking out loud with another week of Instant Sermon. These are genuine questions seeking answers. And in one case, one person was looking for green lights! Seriously, how do we receive the Holy Spirit? What about replacement theology? Are there medical treatments that God would have us avoid? These questions and more as we build absolute confidence in the trustworthiness of God.

The Bible is challenging to read. There are weird words and weird names in it. There's an Old Testament and a New Testament. There are prophecies and prophets. And if you're new to the Bible, if you've never deeply studied it, it can leave you confused. That's why in this message, Pastor Mike helps us learn how to approach the Bible.

Guest speaker Shane Winnings, CEO of Promise Keepers and former missionary, delivers a powerful message at Godspeak Calvary Chapel from Philippians 1, challenging believers to endure trials with unwavering faith and to live for Christ's glory rather than worldly pursuits. Reflecting on his military and police background, including a grueling Seattle Marathon with a rucksack, Winnings emphasizes that true spiritual strength emerges through suffering, drawing parallels to Paul's joy in prison. He urges the congregation to shift their perspective from fitting Christ into life's plans to making Him the pursuit, using the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's resolve to trust God “even if” He doesn't deliver. Winnings' closing prayer calls for repentance and a renewed focus on Christ, aligning with Godspeak's mission of biblical application and cultural engagement.Reference VersesProverbs 11 verse 30, Matthew 13 verses 3–23, Romans 5 verses 3–5, Psalm 139 verse 8, Matthew 6 verses 25–34, Philippians 1 verses 1–30, Philippians 2 verses 14–16, 1 John 3 verse 2, 1 John 4 verse 17, John 17 verse 3, Romans 6 verse 23, Proverbs 16 verse 9, Daniel 3 verses 16–18, 1 Peter 4 verse 12, Matthew 19 verse 24Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information! https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.

Daily Study: Many people online are predicting the rapture will happen on September 23rd or 24th, often linking it to the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanah, also called the Feast of Trumpets, but the Bible makes it clear that no one knows the day or the hour of Christ's return—not even the angels or Jesus Himself. Scripture teaches that His coming will be sudden, like a thief in the night, catching unbelievers off guard but not surprising believers, since we know He promised to return. God does not reveal the exact time because He wants His people to live ready every day, faithfully and expectantly, rather than waiting until the last moment. For Christians, the rapture is not something to fear but something to look forward to with joy, as it fulfills God's promise to His people.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode for August 31st, guest host Heather leads us through a meaningful journey in Scripture, focusing on Ezekiel chapters 12 to 14 and Revelation chapter 5. Heather invites listeners from around the globe to pause and reflect—not just on the words themselves, but on the way they point us to Jesus, the true source of life. Together, we dig into themes of rebellion, judgment, and hope, witnessing God's faithfulness even in times of despair. As the episode unfolds, Heather unpacks the powerful vision of the Lamb in Revelation, emphasizing that when our first look at the world prompts tears and confusion, we are called to look again—to see the redeeming love of Christ who steps forward on our behalf. Through scripture, thoughtful reflection, and earnest prayer, this episode encourages us to keep seeking, keep worshiping, and keep discovering the deep love of God that restores and renews us each day. Join us as we pray together, hold onto hope, and remember that no matter where we are in our story, we are deeply loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: At first look, you might weep, but you need to look again. And again we look for answers to the judgment that life is sure to bring—the rebellion that is borne out in each human heart, and the destruction that comes from our own selfish ways. When we take that first look, we are going to weep because we don't have an answer. John didn't have an answer either. He weeps because he realizes that within himself he has no answer to judgment. No one has been found worthy. No one has stepped forward on behalf of this broken and rebellious world. John weeps for himself and his nation, but an elder stops him from weeping. He's told by this elder to take a second look. In this second look, he is going to see an answer. And the answer is not what you would think. The answer is the Lamb. He says, stop weeping. Look. This Lamb steps forward to take the scroll that represents the fury of judgment that this broken and rebellious world has brought on themselves. He's not led or pushed forward. He steps forward because of the love he has for his broken world and for broken people like me and you. This Lamb steps forward to take the scroll representing the judgment due this world. The Lamb is the only one who has the answer for the judgment I deserve in this life. That scroll was nailed with him on the cross. As it were, on the cross he opened the scroll and answered the charges written on it. He absorbed the fury of our judgments. He answered it all with self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love. That's what we are asked to look at again. Then John is told to look a third time. This third look shows him all that the Lamb has accomplished by stepping forward. He sees a vision of people from every tribe and tongue and language, countless millions around the throne, worshiping and adoring the Lamb. Keep looking. When you don't see an answer in the midst of your tears, keep looking. If you look, you will see a Lamb. He alone has the answer you're looking for. He is the answer to your despair and shame, your broken heart and your regrets. He is the answer for it all. He has stepped forward for you out of love, to do what he alone can do. We need to look again—a third time. Then we will see that the Lamb has stepped forward for countless millions of others, other broken and rebellious people like us. He is making them new, restoring their hearts, drying their tears and giving them a new song. Worthy is the Lamb. May God enable us to sing this new song today. And may he cause us to look, and look, and look again. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family and for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Jesus offers a parable, exhorting us to cultivate humility before God and one another. (Lectionary #126) August 30, 2025 - St. William Catholic Church - Foxboro, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

In this message from our Ten Commandments Series, we dive into what it truly means to not take the Lord's Name in vain. Far beyond avoiding profanity, Scripture reveals that carrying God's name in vain is about misrepresenting His character, using His authority without intimacy, and living as though His Name has no weight. From the sobering story of the seven sons of Sceva in Acts 19 to the holiness of Yahweh revealed at Sinai, this sermon challenges us to carry the Name of Jesus with reverence, power, and authenticity. You'll discover how complacency, compromise, mixture, hypocrisy, and powerlessness can all desecrate His Name—and how radical love, holy fear, and true identity in Christ restore us to be a people who bear His Name rightly.

In today's message, Aaron Christopherson, a staff member at Mercy Culture Church, delivers a powerful teaching focused on one of the Ten Commandments: “Do Not Steal.” Drawing his primary text from Joshua 7:2–13, Christopherson unpacks not only the biblical definition of stealing but also its spiritual and relational implications. He explains that stealing goes beyond simply taking physical possessions; it includes robbing others—or God—of what is rightfully theirs, whether it's time, honor, trust, or worship. Throughout the message, he breaks down the topic into three key areas: Three Ways People Steal from God:  Ten Ways We Steal from Each Other:  Three Characteristics of a Thief:  This message serves as both a convicting reminder and a call to repentance, urging believers to examine their lives in light of God's standard and to walk in honesty, integrity, and reverence toward God and others.

“On mine arm shall they trust.” — Isaiah 51:5 In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beam-ends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust […]

“If we walk in the light, as He is in the light.” — John 1:7 As He is in the light! Can we ever attain to this? Shall we ever be able to walk as clearly in the light as He is whom we call “Our Father,” of whom it is written, “God is light, […]

In this episode of the First Light Podcast, Chuck reflects on lessons drawn from his past hunting spots and the simple tools that guided him—like carrying a compass into the field. Just as a compass points you in the right direction, he explains how faith in the Lord provides direction for life. The object of your faith, he reminds us, is what you will ultimately worship. Chuck also shares a powerful reminder: “You Can Trust the Sun.” Each sunrise declares God's presence and prominence, a daily assurance that He is constant and unchanging. Through hunting stories, Scripture, and personal reflection, this episode encourages listeners to keep their eyes fixed on the true source of direction and strength.

Today's message explores the power of remembering and beholding Jesus, emphasizing that the blood of Christ is a living, present reality that transforms, protects, and empowers believers. Pastor Kendall McDowell encourages listeners to keep their focus on Jesus, especially in new seasons and storms, reminding us that what we consistently remember shapes our faith and responses. By fixing our eyes on Christ and refusing to be distracted by fear or circumstances, we experience true transformation and victory, knowing that God's presence always has the final word over every battle.

**When God Turns Disgrace into Glory — Matthew 4 Explained** In Matthew 4, Jesus relocates His headquarters to **Capernaum** in **Galilee**—a region many considered disgraced and unlikely for the Messiah. Yet this is exactly where the Light dawns. In this message we unpack why Jesus chose Galilee, what "**Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand**" truly means, and why pastors must serve as **watchmen** who speak to the moral and political realities of their day. ### What You'll Learn - **Why Galilee?** How a land once marked by shame became the launchpad of Messiah's ministry (Isa 9:1–2; Matt 4:12–17). - **Prophets & Pastors as Watchmen:** John the Baptist confronted corrupt power (Herod/Herodias) and suffered for it—modeling the church's duty to apply Scripture to culture (Ezek 33; Acts 20). - **"Kingdom at Hand" Clarified:** Understanding God's kingdom program—universal, theocratic (past), spiritual (present), mystery (church age), and **messianic** (future millennial reign). - **Strategic Wisdom of Jesus:** Why Jesus avoided premature conflict and set up in a high-traffic hub where news would spread quickly. - **From Guilt to Grace:** How the Lord transforms the "Galilee" of our lives—our failure and shame—into places of light, freedom, and calling (Rom 8:1; 1 Jn 1:9). - **The Rejected Stone:** The world's "discarded" stones become God's cornerstones in Christ (Ps 118:22; 2 Cor 5:17; Col 2:14). ### Key Scriptures Matthew 4:12–25; Isaiah 9:1–2; Ezekiel 33; Acts 20:26–27; Luke 4:16–30; John 4:43–45; Psalm 118:22; John 5:24; Romans 8:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:9; 1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Colossians 2:14. --- ### Apply It - **Reset your mindset:** Repent = "chan
