He emphasizes the beauty of God's mercy and his offering of it despite our unworthiness. He also strikes a balance between the goodness of humanity as God's creation and our brokenness due to original sin. Today's readings are Luke 6-8 and Proverbs 26:1-3.

Want a stronger walk with God? Today on 15 Minutes in the Word, Joyce takes us through Ephesians to show how His Word can deepen your relationship with Him.

Most of life isn't a launch or a finish line. It's the middle, mundane, conflicted, unglamorous, and that's exactly where God grows our maturity, resilience, and trust.Jennie names the “messy middle” we all live in: between starting and celebrating, between intention and fruit. Looking at scripture, parenting moments, and the behind-the-scenes of launching Gather25, she reframes the middle as holy ground. This is where perseverance forms character, trust replaces control, and faithfulness becomes the measure of a life with God.Resources & Links:REGISTER TO HOST AN IF:LOCALListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebookJennie's new book "The Lie You Don't Know You Believe" is available for pre-order NOW - GRAB A COPY HERE!

Forgiveness can sometimes feel like an unfair gift we have to give someone else. But what if it's actually God's prescription for our own hearts to heal? In this deeply personal episode, Lysa TerKeurst opens up about what it really looks like to practice forgiveness when it seems undeserved or out of reach. With honesty and tenderness, she shares insights from her own journey, offering practical guidance on processing pain, naming your hurt, and choosing obedience to God even when your heart hasn't caught up yet. Through this conversation, you'll learn: What biblical forgiveness is and what it isn't. Ways to handle real struggles: from navigating personal betrayals to extending grace when someone has hurt your child. How letting go doesn't mean letting someone keep hurting you.Resources From This Episode:Surviving an Unwanted Divorce by Lysa TerKeurst, counselor Jim Cress, and Dr. Joel Muddamalle.The Therapy & Theology Podcast, Season 10, with Lysa TerKeurst, Jim Cress, and Dr. Joel Muddamalle.Click here to download a transcript of this episodeWant More on This Topic?Watch the Therapy & Theology video on YouTube titled "How To Forgive When the Hurt Was So Unfair."

The Bible was not created by man but divinely orchestrated by God to stand as His unchanging Word through the ages. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar explain that its authority was acknowledged, not granted, and that it has remained flawless and trustworthy from the start. They detail how the Old and New Testaments were affirmed, preserved, and confirmed through careful transmission and divine guidance, showing that even without the original manuscripts, God's Word has never lost its truth or power. The guys emphasize that Scripture was breathed out by God Himself, making it living and active, unlike anything written by human wisdom. They remind believers that the Bible exposes human weakness but reveals God's perfect plan, always pointing to Christ. The Bible endures as the inspired, accurate, and eternal Word of God—the ultimate authority and guide for every generation.Send us a textThanks for listening!

This week is presented by "Dial It Back", available now on Prime Video. This episode is sponsored by Cozy Earth! Use promo code HALLMARK to get 40% off at cozyearth.com--Brian is back to review a brand-new holiday movie that fans have been buzzing about: Christmas Above the Clouds. Featuring the return of an Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes pairing, this movie is a little Christmas magic at 30,000 feet.ABOUT CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDSWorkaholic CEO Ella Neezer tries to skip Christmas by boarding a flight to Australia. But her plan takes an unexpected turn when she is visited by three quirky spirits representing her past, present, and future — and she finds herself face-to-face with her ex-fiancé Jake. As Ella navigates these encounters, she's forced to confront the choices that prioritized success over connection, ultimately rediscovering love, compassion, and the true meaning of Christmas.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDSNovember 8, 2025 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDSErin Krakow as Ella NeezerTyler Hynes as JakeDirected by Peter BensonBRAN'S CHRISTMAS ABOVE THE CLOUDS SYNOPSISMeet Ella Neezer — a certified holiday grump. She runs a fancy-pants travel company and all of her employees hate her. It's Christmas Eve, but she could not care less. The new ad campaign isn't good enough and she wants improvements by the 26th. “I'm not saying you have to work on Christmas… it just has to be better by then.” Very chill.Ella and her assistant Bobbi head to the airport to catch a flight to Australia so Ella can skip Christmas entirely — even though Bobbi has a son, Tim, that she'd clearly rather be home with. On the way, Ella's sister calls trying to convince her to come home for Christmas. Absolutely not. Ella looks at a photo of her mentor, Marlene Jacobson, and for a second it looks like Marlene is moving. Weird, but let's brush that off.At the airport, Ella bumps into her ex-boyfriend Jake — the one she broke up with six years ago today. Even worse? He's seated right next to her on the plane.The plane takes off and suddenly things get spooky. Lights flicker. Window shades go up and down. And then — Marlene Jacobson appears on the seat-back screen to haunt her. She announces that Ella will be visited by three spirits. Buckle up, bucko.Ella falls asleep and is woken by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who is obviously a flight attendant. She shoves Ella out of the plane (casual) and Ella lands in her own childhood. She sees herself and her sister stuck at boarding school over Christmas. Then she jumps to college, where she meets young Jake, the cute librarian who gives her his scarf. They were happy once! Next, she sees an old company Christmas party — back when her employees liked her — and she and Jake are very in love. We get a memory montage: years together. He even proposes at Christmas. But as her career ramps up under Marlene, Ella gets busier, misses more time, and eventually the relationship breaks. She watches herself end it, placing the ring down. Finally, she sees herself snapping at Bobbi last year when Bobbi needed to rush home to her sick son. It hurts.Ella wakes back up on the plane and apologizes to Jake for all the Christmases she worked through. She could have done better.Then comes the Ghost of Christmas Present, who takes her to a bar where her employees are having their own mini Christmas party — and talking about how much they dislike her. Ouch. They visit Ella's sister's house, where her sister wishes Ella could just share in the joy. Ella sticks around long enough to remember how fun Christmas used to be. They visit Jake's charity, which is thriving. There's a woman clearly into him. Ella is jealous. They stop by his old friends' annual “Dive Bar Christmas” — the tradition Ella used to love. She misses those days. Then they visit Bobbi's house — Tim is sick with asthma, and the family resents Ella… until Tim says he's thankful for Miss Neezer because the job helps afford his medicine. Ella is crushed.Back to the plane she goes. Bobbi's asleep, so Ella goes to talk to Jake instead.Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come arrives. Ella sees her employees talking like someone is gone — but who? At her sister's house, everyone is dressed in black. Jake shows up with flowers. Someone has died. Eventually, Ella realizes Jake gave up on love. Then she sees Bobbi's home. Tim's chair is empty. And then — she sees her own grave. She's devastated, begging for a chance to change.Suddenly — she's back on the plane. The flight has landed in Utah due to engine trouble. Coincidentally, her sister lives in Utah. It's Christmas morning (technically 1 AM).Ella snaps into action. She tells Bobbi she's getting a promotion, double salary, the best health insurance imaginable, and a first-class flight home to be with Tim. Bobbi is stunned.Ella and Jake go to breakfast. Ella tells him she doesn't want to go through life alone — especially not without him. She apologizes — sincerely. They slow dance. He dips her. They kiss BIG ONES.They surprise her sister. Ella apologizes for not being the sister she should have been. They spend Christmas together. Jake tells Ella he loves her. She tells him she's always loved him — some might say it was always you. They kiss again.Bobbi FaceTimes. Tim says, “God bless us, everyone.”The end.

Talking about being led by faith in business can feel uncomfortable or even a little strange, especially in a world that often tells us to rely only on strategy, numbers, and logic. But for me, faith is at the very center of how I lead and build my business. In today's episode, I'm opening up about what it really means to run a faith-led business, one where every decision, every challenge, and every success is guided by trust in God. I'll share how I've learned to walk with Him in every step of the journey, even when the path ahead doesn't make sense or the outcome isn't clear. Faith can be scary. It requires you to take steps without seeing the full staircase. But this episode is here to remind you that God is good, He is present in your business, and He has a plan, even for the smallest of dreams and the simplest of beginnings. If you've ever wrestled with fear, doubt, or uncertainty in your business, this episode will encourage you to lean into faith, trust God's process, and keep moving forward with confidence and peace.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that Samuel was weakened by Saul's ministry. But, in these deep, spiritual times where you are run by someone's powerful and damaging influence, an awakening by God can produce both a lasting and positive change.

If God's Word could spark a reformation in King Josiah's day, then it's powerful enough to transform our generation, too. Mary Kassian applies the principles of 2 Chronicles 34 to our context, exhorting us to dismantle idols and return to His Word.

Chip relates the most fearful encounter with demons he ever faced and how you can prepare yourself to do battle with the Enemy.Four facts you need to knowGod has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin's penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy's attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan's attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combatWhen taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growthWhen invading enemy territoryWhen exposing him for who he really isWhen we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationshipWhen God is preparing us for a “great work” for His gloryHow to engage the enemy and win: Taking up the shield of FAITHTake the helmet of SALVATIONTake the sword of the SPIRITSummary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfarePrerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual lifeUnderstand your POSITION in ChristDISCERN when demonic influence may be the causeClaim God's promises OUT LOUDTake our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and departBroadcast ResourceThe Invisible War ResourcesMessage NotesAdditional Resource MentionsThe Invisible War Small Group OfferConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

Every year on November 11th, Americans pause to honor the brave men and women who have served our nation in the Armed Forces. In our daily prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that Veterans Day commemorates the signing of the armistice that ended World War I — the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month — and stands as a reminder of the tremendous sacrifice made by those who have fought for our freedom. The liberties we enjoy today were secured through courage, hardship, and devotion. Many veterans have risked their lives — and some have given them — to defend our country. As John 15:13 tells us, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” Our veterans come from all walks of life — rich and poor, from cities and small towns, from every background — yet they stood together with one purpose: to protect and preserve freedom. Their service reminds us that courage is not the absence of fear, but faith in the face of danger. For many veterans, their experiences in service shaped their faith in profound ways. Those who know Christ carry the assurance that God is with them wherever they go (Joshua 1:9). And for those who continue to carry the weight of war — physical wounds, trauma, or loss — God’s comfort remains ever near. As 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 reminds us, He is “the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles.” Today, as we honor those who have served, let us also pray for their healing, peace, and restoration. May every veteran feel seen, valued, and deeply appreciated — not only by their nation, but by the God who calls them beloved. Today's Bible Reading:“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” – Joshua 1:9

Seeking God begins with a personal and deliberate choice, and it results in lifechanging responses from the Lord. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses pursuing the Lord through fasting and prayer. He draws from the lives of Daniel and other spiritual leaders in the Bible to teach how to fast, what sacrifice and self-discipline look like, and how the Lord is willing to respond when we humble ourselves before Him. Evil is rearing its head with the rise of lawlessness in our nation, but with God's power and authority it will be overcome. Our Lord writes new destinies for us when we seek His face.

In this Bible Story, Saul and Barnabas team up to advance the gospel in Antioch. Saul is still learning about what it truly means to walk with Jesus, and Barnabas acts as a brilliant mentor and friend. This story is inspired by Acts 11:19-30. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Acts 11:26 from the King James Version.Episode 226: As more men and women came to faith in Jerusalem, more were beaten and thrown into jail. Because of this, many believers scattered across the Roman Empire setting as far as Cyprus and Antioch for safety. In these cities, the gospel began to break out from being a Jewish-only message, now Greeks and Hellenists were receiving Jesus too! The attitude of the believers in the city was so helpful that people began to refer to these followers as little Christs, a name that has stuck with us for generations.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comJames 5A strong warning is given to the wealthy who acquire riches through injustice and selfishness. Their fortunes will diminish, and the cries of those they have wronged have reached the ears of the Lord. Believers are called to be patient in suffering, waiting for the Lord with the same diligence as a farmer awaiting rain. They are reminded of Job's endurance and the Lord's compassion. Integrity matters. Thus, complaining against one another is discouraged, and individuals are encouraged to let their yes be yes and their no be no. Prayer is emphasized as a powerful tool in every situation, whether in suffering, joy, or sickness. Those who stray from the truth should be gently guided back, for turning a sinner from error saves a soul and brings great spiritual restoration. Christians must remain patient during difficult times, trusting that God sees how others mistreat us and that He will act on our behalf. It is easy to complain or lose heart, but we are called to endure with faith. Like Job, we can hold on even when we do not comprehend everything. We are also encouraged to pray in every season. God invites us to communicate with Him throughout every stage and circumstance of our lives. Our prayers are significant. Furthermore, we have a duty to one another. When someone begins to drift from the truth, we are called to respond with love and care. God uses our words and actions to help others return and to bring healing and hope. Loving Father, You see every burden we carry and every moment we wait. Grant us patience when life feels long and heavy. Help us to trust that You are working, even when we cannot see it. Teach us to pray with honesty and faith, knowing that You hear us and care for every need. Show us how to care for those who are hurting and reach out to those who are wandering. May our words bring healing and our actions reflect Your compassion. Let our lives be full of faith, endurance, and love as we walk closely with You each day. Thought Questions: Life is often unfair, and sometimes the powerful oppress the weak. How do you stay patient and controlled when others treat you poorly? How vital is communal prayer to you? Have you had elders pray over you? Why should you ask faithful people to pray with you and for you? What is your responsibility if a fellow believer is caught in sin? How do you determine the best way to approach and help them repent and turn to God?

He was a good man and a God-fearing man, but he was also a Roman gentile. He prayed to God daily and sought to do good to those who were less fortunate. His prayers were heard by God, and God told him in a dream to send for a man named Peter who was staying in Joppa. At the same time, Peter was praying and in a vision experienced a message from God about calling anything unclean or common. When the men sent by Cornelius arrived, he went with them, and when the whole party arrived at the house of Cornelius, Peter saw what God was trying to tell him. He then obediently preached the message of Jesus to Cornelius’ entire household. All of Cornelius’ family and friends came to believe in Jesus and were baptized.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Leslie continues her Honorable Womanhood series with a message about the unexpected blessings that come from choosing to honor our God-given authorities, especially in the area of romance and relationships. In our modern age of independence, many of us overlook the fact that God has placed these authorities in our lives — such as parents and other trusted leaders — not to make us miserable, but to bless and protect us. As Leslie shares, we can find tremendous strength by honoring our authorities and inviting them to play a key role in our lives. Honoring teammates brings the blessing of Heaven.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.
