An episode from Liberty Behind Bars Ministry, a ministry serving the incarcerated across America located in Belfast, New York.“I spent half of my life in and out of jails, prisons, rehabs, and other facilities. Unfortunately, the programs that were offered did not help me to become a productive member of society, it just made me a better inmate. What changed me, was a new life in Jesus Christ and reading/studying a King James Bible.Many prisons, jails, and other institutions have heard from many of their inmates that they are changed due to religion. However, most are seen back within the next year or two. As God gave Moses a burden for the Children of Israel, so God gave me a burden for those in jails and prisons. Churches send missionaries to foreign countries, in support, hopes and prayers, they can win the nationals to Jesus, train them and then send the nationals back to their own people. This is what Jesus has done for me. He saved me out of this life of crimes and addiction, and now sends me back to my people who are in jails/prisons, to win them to Christ and send them back to their own people.This is where Liberty Behind Bars Ministry steps in. Not only do we minister to those behind the jail walls we help them transition into society; differently than they did in the past. The goal is to break the cycle of recidivism and help people have a changed life in Jesus Christ. I have my Doctorate in Christian Biblical Counseling and use this knowledge to not only help those within the jail/prison walls, but also to support their family members.

Can Christians trust the feeling that “the Lord's presence” is stronger at one church than another? Todd examines how emotions can influence church decisions, what Michelle Obama's one-word answer reveals about the spirit of the age, and how believers should think biblically about politics, patriotism, and cultural change. Segment 1 • Is every government-funded service automatically socialism? • What responsibilities has God actually assigned to civil government? • Barack and Michelle Obama each choose one word to describe their next chapter. • How can Christians enjoy rest without making the next season of life entirely about themselves? Segment 2 • What do Christians really mean when they say they can “feel the Lord's presence”? • Can an emotional worship experience be mistaken for evidence that a church is spiritually healthy? • What should matter more than feelings when deciding where your family will worship? • Is a distant church still the best choice if the drive keeps you from becoming involved in its life? Segment 3 • Should the Bible ever be packaged together with America's founding documents? • Can patriotism quietly become confused with devotion to Christ? • Why have Christian leaders criticized the God Bless the USA Bible? • What happens when church and state become too closely connected? Segment 4 • Why are younger conservatives becoming increasingly hostile toward Israel? • Does the possibility of UFOs create any real challenge to Christianity? • What does the euthanasia of a child reveal about where radical autonomy leads? • What can Christians learn from public leaders who remain gracious and openly faithful under pressure? ___ Thanks for listening!

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we conclude our study of Philippians 4:8. For the pastseveral days we have carefully walked through this remarkable verse. Paul hasgiven us a divine pattern for guarding our minds. He has taught us to think onthings that are True... Honorable... Just... Pure... Lovely... Of Good Report...Full of Virtue... And Worthy of Praise. But before we leave this verse, I wantus to step back and see the big picture. Paulis not merely giving us a list. He is describing the mind of Christ. Earlier inthis letter, in Philippians 2:5, Paul wrote, "Let this mind be in you,which was also in Christ Jesus." Now, in chapter 4, he shows us whatthat mind looks like. Everything on this list perfectly describes our LordJesus Christ. He is Truth. Everything about Him is honorable. Everything Hedoes is just. He is absolutely pure. His life is altogether lovely. EverythingHe says is of good report. He is the very definition of virtue. He alone isworthy of all praise. The more we think about Christ... The more we become likeChrist. Paulunderstood something we often forget. Our lives move in the direction of ourthoughts. That is why verse 8 comes before verse 9. First comes right thinking.Then comes right living. Listen to the opening words of verse 9: "Thosethings, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,do..."Noticethe progression. Think... Then do. Meditate... Then practice. Truth believedbecomes truth lived. Foryears I have been reminded that the Christian life is much like building ahouse. Our thoughts are the foundation. Our words become the framework. Ouractions build the walls. Our habits put on the roof. Our character becomes thefinished house. Everything begins with the foundation. No wonder Solomon wrote,"For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he." (Proverbs 23:7) Thebattle for the Christian life is truly the battle for the mind. That battle isbeing fought every day. It is fought by what we watch. What we read. What welisten to. What we meditate upon. What we allow to remain in our thoughts. Thewonderful news is that God has not left us defenseless. He has given us HisHoly Spirit. He has given us His Word. He has given us the privilege of prayer. Inverse 7 He promises the peace of God to guard our hearts.Inverse 8 He gives us the truth of God to guard our minds.Tomorrow,in verse 9, He gives us the God of peace to guide our lives. Whata beautiful progression! The peace of God guards our hearts. The truth of Godguards our minds. The God of peace guides our lives. Friend,this week, why not memorize Philippians 4:8? Write it on a card. Read it everymorning. Pray through each phrase. Use it as a filter for every thought thatenters your mind. As you do, you'll discover that God is not merely changingwhat you think. He is changing who you are. And when our minds become more likeChrist, our lives will become more like Christ. That is the goal of theChristian life. Tomorrowwe'll begin looking at verse 9 and discover that God's truth is never meantmerely to be admired. It is meant to be practiced. Let'sPray: Heavenly Father, thank You for this wonderful passage that teaches us howto guard our minds. Thank You for giving us the perfect example of the LordJesus Christ. May His mind increasingly become our mind. Help us to think Yourthoughts, love what You love, reject what dishonors You, and faithfullypractice what You teach us. May our lives point others to our wonderful Savior.In His precious name we pray. Amen. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!
"The Pursuit ofMoral Excellence"Philippians 4:8 Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we come to the final two descriptions in Paul'swonderful list found in Philippians 4:8. "Finally, brethren, whateverthings are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whateverthings are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of goodreport; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on thesethings." Notice how Paul begins to summarize everything he has justwritten. "If there be any virtue, and if there be any praise." Theword virtue speaks of moral excellence. It describes the highest qualities ofChristian character. It is the kind of life that reflects the excellence ofJesus Christ Himself. Peter uses this same word in 2 Peter 1:3 when he tells usthat God has called us "to glory and virtue." Then in verse 5he challenges us, "Giving all diligence, add to your faithvirtue..." God never saved us simply to escape hell. He saved us sothat our lives would increasingly reflect the character of His Son. That is whyPaul tells us to fill our minds with whatever is morally excellent. Thesecond phrase is, "If there be any praise..." This is notspeaking primarily about receiving praise from people. It speaks of whatever isworthy of approval before God. We should ask ourselves this question: "IfJesus were sitting beside me, would He approve of what I am thinking aboutright now?" That one question can become a powerful guide for dailyliving. Aswe have studied this verse together, Paul has given us a wonderful checklistfor every thought that enters our minds. Is it true? Is it honorable? Is itjust? Is it pure? Is it lovely? Is it of good report? Does it demonstrate moralexcellence? Would it receive God's approval? If the answer is yes... Paul says,"Think on these things."Thewords “think on” mean much more than having a passing thought. They meanto continually dwell upon these things. To weigh them carefully. Tointentionally fill your mind with them. Godmade us in such a way that our minds cannot think two thoughts at the sametime. If we are thinking what we should be thinking, we cannot be thinking whatwe shouldn't be thinking. Our minds are never neutral. If we do notdeliberately fill them with God's truth, the world will gladly fill them withits own values. Thatis why daily time in God's Word is not optional. It is essential. The psalmistwrote, "Blessed is the man... whose delight is in the law of the LORD;and in His law doth he meditate day and night." (Psalm 1:1-2). Noticethe word meditate. God never intended His Word to be merely read. He intendedit to be pondered. Turned over in our minds. Applied to our lives. As wemeditate on God's truth, the Holy Spirit gradually transforms our thinking. Themore we think like Christ... The more we live like Christ. Yearsago, someone wisely observed, "You are today where your thoughts havebrought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." There ismuch truth in that statement. Our thoughts shape our choices. Our choices shapeour habits. Our habits shape our character. Our character shapes our influence.Thatis why the battle for the Christian life is first won or lost in the mind. Today,determine to make Philippians 4:8 your daily filter. Before you entertain athought, run it through Paul's checklist. If it passes...Think on it. If itfails... Replace it with the truth of God's Word. Let'sPray: Heavenly Father, thank You for calling us to lives of moral excellence.Help us to measure every thought by Your holy Word. Renew our minds day by dayuntil our thinking reflects the mind of Christ. May our lives become worthy ofYour approval and useful for Your glory. In Jesus' precious name, Amen. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!

Good Morning Mighty Men & Women Of God! This Morning We Are In Engaging In An Outpouring Against The Kingdom Of Darkness! God Bless
Paul says we have received many blessings from God. What are those blessings? Let's find out together as we read Ephesians 1:3-14 and 1 Samuel 2.
Welcome to the Internet 7-8-2026 …The Greatest Thing about America is …God Bless the Party in the USA …Jello Shots will get you …The Kid Reporter at the Animal Shelter got a Little Weird
Yesterday we learned that if we are goingto enjoy the peace of God guarding our hearts, then we must also guard ourminds. TodayPaul gives us the first test for every thought that enters our minds: "Whateverthings are true." Everything begins with truth. We live in a worldwhere truth is often questioned, ignored, or even rejected. We hear people say,"Well, that's your truth," or "This is my truth." But theBible teaches that truth is not something we invent—it is something God reveals.Jesus declared in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: noman cometh unto the Father, but by Me." Later, as He prayed to theFather, Jesus said in John 17:17: “Sanctify them through Thy truth: Thy wordis truth." God'sWord is the absolute standard of truth. If we are going to think correctly, wemust think Biblically. Why does Paul begin here? Because Satan's greatestweapon has always been deception. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent did notbegin by denying God. He began by questioning God's Word. "Yea, hathGod said...?" (Genesis 3:1) Then he contradicted God. "Youshall not surely die." (Genesis 3:4) A lie believed always leads tobondage. But the truth believed always leads to freedom. Jesus said in John8:31-32: "If you continue in My word, then are you My disciples indeed;and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." Thinkabout how many lies Satan tries to whisper into our minds. He says, "Goddoesn't really love you." The Bible says, "The LORD hath appearedof old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love."(Jeremiah 31:3) Satan says, "God has abandoned you." God says, "Iwill never leave thee, nor forsake thee." (Hebrews 13:5) Satan says,"Your failures define you." God says, "If any man be inChrist, he is a new creature." (2 Corinthians 5:17) Satan says,"There is no hope." God says, "Blessed be... the God of allcomfort." (2 Corinthians 1:3) Yousee, every temptation begins with believing a lie, and every victory beginswith believing God's truth. That is why we must continually fill our minds withScripture. Someone once compared the mind to a garden. If you do notintentionally plant flowers, weeds will naturally grow. The same is true of ourminds. If we neglect God's Word, the weeds of fear, doubt, bitterness, lust,pride, and anxiety will quickly take over. David understood this. He wrote in Psalm 119:11, "Thy word haveI hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against Thee." Noticehe didn't simply read God's Word. He hid it in his heart. He stored it there sothat when temptation came, truth was already available. That is exactly how ourLord defeated Satan during His temptation in the wilderness. Every time Satantempted Him, Jesus answered with the same words: "It iswritten..." He responded to every lie with the truth of God's Word.Ephesians 6:13-14 says: “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that youmay be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Standtherefore, having girded your waist with truth…” Friend,one of the greatest habits you can develop is to begin every day reading,meditating on, and memorizing Scripture. Throughout the day, ask yourself,"Is what I'm thinking true according to God's Word?" If it isn't,reject it and replace it with what God has said. Remember, God's peace guards our hearts, butGod's truth guards our minds. Today,determine that your mind will be anchored—not in your feelings, not in theopinions of the world, and not in the changing circumstances of life—but in theunchanging truth of God's Word. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!
Good Morning ARISE Family! The Lord Bless You This Morning As We Participate In The Outpouring! God Bless
Thinkfor a moment about how many thoughts enter your mind every day. Researchersestimate that thousands of thoughts pass through our minds daily. Some arehelpful, many are harmless, but others can be destructive. Satan knows that ifhe can capture your mind, he can influence your emotions, your decisions, youractions, and eventually your character. That is why the battle for theChristian life is largely the battle for the mind. Noticethe connection with the previous verses. In verse 6 Paul tells us to prayinstead of worrying. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayerand supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God”. Thenin verse 7 he gives us God's wonderful promise: “And the peace of God, whichsurpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through ChristJesus”. The word guard is a military term. It means to guard or stand watchover. God's peace stands like a soldier around our hearts and minds. Butnow Paul tells us something else. While God guards our hearts with His peace,we have the responsibility to guard our minds with His truth. God neverintended for our minds to remain empty. An empty mind quickly becomes occupiedby fear, temptation, discouragement, resentment, lust, pride, or worry. Theanswer is not merely to stop thinking wrong thoughts. The answer is to replacethem with right thoughts. This is a principle found throughout Scripture. InProverbs 23:7 we read, "For as a man thinks in his heart, so ishe." Ourthoughts eventually become our character. The Lord Jesus emphasized the sametruth. In Matthew 15:19 He said, "For out of the heart proceed evilthoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness,blasphemies." Everything begins on the inside before it ever appearson the outside. Paul also wrote in Romans 12:2, "And be not conformedto this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." Noticethat transformation comes through the renewing of the mind. Theworld says, "Follow your heart." God says, "Renew yourmind." The world fills our minds with fear, anger, impurity, selfishness,and confusion. God fills our minds with truth, hope, purity, love, and peace. Someonehas wisely said, "You cannot keep the birds from flying over your head,but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair." We cannot alwayscontrol the thoughts that suddenly enter our minds, but we can choose whetherwe dwell on them. A temptation may come, but we do not have to invite it tostay. Paulends this verse with a command: "Think on these things." Thephrase means to deliberately dwell on them, to continually consider them, tocarefully evaluate them, and to let them shape your thinking. The Christianlife is not lived by accident. It is lived by intentionally filling our mindswith God's truth. Overthe next several days we are going to examine each of these wonderful qualitiesPaul lists. They provide a divine filter for every thought that enters ourminds. Before we allow a thought to remain, we should ask, "Is it true? Isit honest? Is it just? Is it pure? Is it lovely? Is it of good report? Does itdisplay virtue? Is it worthy of praise?" If the answer is yes, dwell onit. If not, replace it with God's Word. Remember, if you want to enjoy thepeace of God in your heart, you must also guard your mind with the truth ofGod. Let's ask the Lord today to help us win the battle for our minds. Let'sPray: Heavenly Father, thank You for giving us Your Word to guide our thinking.Forgive us for allowing worry, fear, bitterness, impurity, and worldlyinfluences to occupy our minds. Help us, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, tothink on the things that honor You. Guard our hearts with Your peace, renew ourminds with Your truth, and transform our lives for Your glory. In Jesus' name,Amen. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we come to Philippians 4:5. This verse followsnaturally after Paul's command to rejoice in the Lord always. A joyful heartshould be seen in the way we treat other people. Paul writes: "Let yourmoderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand." At firstglance, the word "moderation" might sound like it refers to simplyavoiding extremes. But the word Paul uses has a much richer meaning. Itdescribes a gentle, gracious, patient, and forbearing spirit. It is theattitude of someone who does not insist on his own rights. It speaks ofkindness, humility, and a willingness to yield for the good of others. Itis the very spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ. Think about our Savior. When Hewas falsely accused, He did not retaliate. When He was reviled, He did notrevile again. When He suffered, He committed Himself to the Father who judgesrighteously. Jesus demonstrated perfect gentleness. No wonder He said inMatthew 11:29, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meekand lowly in heart." Thatsame spirit should characterize every believer. Paul says, "Let yourmoderation be known unto all men." In other words, this gentle spiritshould be obvious to everyone. Our family should see it. Our neighbors should see it. Our coworkers should see it. Thosewho disagree with us should see it. Even those who oppose us should recognizethat we respond differently because Christ lives within us. Sadly,our world is becoming increasingly angry. People are quick to argue. Quick tocriticize. Quick to demand their own way. But Christians are called to displaya different spirit. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us, "A soft answer turns awaywrath: but grievous words stir up anger." Gentleness is not weakness.It is strength under control.Ittakes far more strength to respond with grace than it does to react in anger. ThenPaul gives the reason: "The Lord is at hand." This shortphrase carries a wonderful truth. First, it reminds us that the Lord is near. Heis always with us. He sees every circumstance. He hears every conversation. Heknows every burden we carry. When we remember His presence, it becomes mucheasier to respond with patience and grace. But I also believe Paul is remindingus that the Lord's return is near. Throughout the New Testament, believers wereencouraged to live in the light of Christ's soon return. IfJesus could come today, how should that affect the way we treat one another? Wouldwe hold on to bitterness? Would we continue an argument? Would we refuse toforgive? Or would we seek to live in peace, showing the gentleness of Christ? Knowingthat the Lord is at hand changes our perspective. It reminds us that many ofthe things we become upset about are really not worth losing our testimonyover. Someone once said, "Live each day as though Jesus died yesterday,rose this morning, and is coming back this afternoon." There is greatwisdom in that thought. Myfriend, ask yourself today: When people see me, do they see a gracious andgentle spirit? Do my words reflect the kindness of Christ? Do I respond todifficult people the way Jesus would? May the Holy Spirit help us todemonstrate the gentleness of our Savior in every relationship, rememberingthat the Lord is at hand. This only happens when we yield our hearts and livesto the control of the Holy Spirit and we experience the fruit of the Spiritbeing produced daily (Galatians 5:22-23). Let'spray. Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful example of gentleness thatwe see in the Lord Jesus Christ. Help us to display that same gracious spiritin our homes, our churches, and wherever You place us. Guard us from anger,impatience, and selfishness. May our moderation be known unto all men, and mayour lives reflect the beauty of Christ as we live in expectation of His soonreturn. We pray this in Jesus' precious name. Amen. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!

Greetings to all.Thank you for listening to my Gospel reflection this week.God Bless.Fr. Kennedy
C dans l'air du 2 juillet 2026 - Trump : 4 milliards en 2 ans... le jackpot de la Maison BlancheBusiness is business. Depuis son retour au pouvoir, Donald Trump a vu sa fortune presque tripler depuis son retour à la Maison Blanche. Celle-ci est passée de 2,3 à 6,5 milliards de dollars entre 2024 et 2026 selon Forbes. Et c'est principalement la cryptomonnaie qui fait exploser ses revenus. Selon sa déclaration financière, ses activités dans ce secteur pourraient lui avoir rapporté plus d'1,2 milliard de dollars. Une situation qui relance notamment les accusations de conflits d'intérêts, alors que le locataire de la Maison Blanche multiplie les initiatives pour favoriser le développement des monnaies numériques. De plus, le président américain continue de tirer profit de son image. Parmi les produits dérivés les plus médiatisés figure la « God Bless the USA Bible », dont plus de 208 000 exemplaires ont été vendus. À cela s'ajoutent des baskets, montres, parfums ou encore des guitares. Un empire économique colossal. La Cour suprême a toutefois infligé un revers important au président américain. Fin juin, elle a confirmé que les enfants nés aux États-Unis restent automatiquement citoyens américains, invalidant ainsi le décret de Donald Trump sur le droit du sol. Une décision symbolique, d'autant que trois des neuf juges de la Cour ont été nommés par lui lors de son premier mandat. Ce n'est pas la première fois que la haute juridiction freine ses ambitions. Quelques mois plus tôt, elle avait déjà limité une partie de sa politique sur les droits de douane, estimant que certaines mesures relevaient du Congrès. Ces décisions rappellent que, malgré sa majorité conservatrice, la Cour suprême conserve son indépendance vis-à-vis du pouvoir exécutif. À l'international, Donald Trump fait de l'Amérique latine une priorité. Son administration remet en avant la doctrine Monroe, selon laquelle les États-Unis doivent rester la puissance dominante sur le continent. L'objectif est de contrer l'influence grandissante de la Chine, de la Russie et de l'Iran dans la région. Cette stratégie s'appuie aussi sur une ligne dure envers les gouvernements de gauche. Washington maintient une forte pression sur le Venezuela et Cuba, tout en saluant l'arrivée au pouvoir de dirigeants conservateurs.

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we come to one of the best-known verses in the entirebook of Philippians. In many ways, this verse captures the heartbeat of thewhole letter. Paul writes: "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say,Rejoice." Think about who is writing these words. Paul is not sittingin a comfortable home enjoying the blessings of retirement. He is under housearrest in Rome. He is chained to a Roman soldier. He is awaiting trial beforeCaesar. Humanly speaking, he has every reason to complain. Yet instead ofcomplaining, he commands us to rejoice. Thatis one of the great lessons of Philippians. Joy is not determined by ourcircumstances. Joy is determined by our relationship with Jesus Christ. Noticecarefully what Paul says. He does not say, "Rejoice in yourcircumstances." He does not say, "Rejoice because everything is goingwell." He says, "Rejoice in the Lord." Our circumstancesconstantly change. Our health changes. Our finances change. Our emotionschange. People disappoint us. Plans fall apart. But the Lord never changes. Hebrews13:8 reminds us, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, andforever." Because He never changes, our joy can remain constant evenwhen life is uncertain. Noticealso the little word "alway." That means at all times. When life isgood, rejoice in the Lord. When life is difficult, rejoice in the Lord. Whenprayers are answered, rejoice in the Lord. When you are still waiting for theanswer, rejoice in the Lord. This is not a command to ignore sorrow or pretendthat pain doesn't exist. Paul himself wept. He suffered. He knewdisappointment, persecution, imprisonment, and hardship. Yet beneath all ofthose experiences was a deep confidence that God was in control and that Christwas enough. That is biblical joy. It is possible to have tears in your eyes andjoy in your heart at the same time. ThenPaul adds, "And again I say, Rejoice." Why does he repeathimself? Because we are prone to forget. Throughout this letter Paul hasreturned again and again to this theme. In chapter 1 he rejoiced that Christwas being preached. In chapter 2 he rejoiced in serving Christ alongsideothers. In chapter 3 he told us, "Rejoice in the Lord." Now,as he nears the end of the letter, he repeats the command once more. Apparently,joy is something we all need to hear about again and again. Theword "rejoice" is not merely a suggestion. It is a command. God istelling us that joy is not just an emotion we wait to feel. It is a choice wemake as we focus our hearts on the Lord. How do we cultivate that joy? Werejoice by remembering who Christ is. We rejoice by remembering what He hasdone. We rejoice because our sins are forgiven. We rejoice because our namesare written in heaven. We rejoice because He has promised never to leave us norforsake us. We rejoice because He is coming again. We rejoice because nothing can separate us from His love. Myfriend, if your joy has begun to fade, don't spend all your time looking atyour circumstances. Lift your eyes to the Lord. The closer we draw to Christ,the deeper our joy becomes. A joyful Christian is not someone who has noproblems; it is someone who has learned that Jesus Christ is greater than everyproblem. Today, no matter what you may be facing, hear Paul's words as thoughhe were speaking them directly to you: "Rejoice in the Lord alway: andagain I say, Rejoice." Let'spray. Heavenly Father, thank You that our joy is not rooted in changingcircumstances but in our unchanging Savior. Forgive us for the times we allowour problems to rob us of the joy that is ours in Christ. Help us to keep oureyes fixed on Jesus and to rejoice in You at all times. May our joy become atestimony to those around us that You are faithful, good, and worthy of ourtrust. We pray this in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!
Is there anything more synonymous with patriotic pride than "God Bless The U.S.A."? As we celebrate Independence Day and the 250th birthday of our nation, we're bringing back this fan favorite — originally released on Veterans Day 2022 — because Lee Greenwood and this song belong on every American holiday playlist. Nine-time Emmy winner David Sams sits down with the Grammy award-winning artist to reflect on the song's remarkable 40-year journey — from being written in the back of a tour bus in 1983 to becoming the only song ever charted in the top five across all genres of music. Lee shares stories from nearly 300 days a year on the road, performing at two presidential inaugurations at the Lincoln Memorial, touring with Bob Hope on his final USO Christmas tour, and what it felt like to watch "God Bless The U.S.A." surge back to the top after 9/11 and the Gulf War. They also dig into Lee's nonprofit work with Helping a Hero — a Houston-based foundation that has built over 200 specially adapted homes for wounded warriors — and the story behind the limited edition "God Bless The U.S.A. Bible," a leather-bound King James Bible featuring Lee's handwritten chorus lyrics alongside the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Pledge of Allegiance. This Fourth of July Lee's message rings as true as ever: America is the greatest country on the planet — and faith, unity, and hope will always carry us through. #leegreenwood #godblessthesua #america250 #july4 #keepthefaith #davidsams #contagiousinfluencer

Today we come to the first verse of Philippians chapter 4. Itis much more than a transition verse. In many ways, it is the conclusion ofeverything Paul has been teaching throughout this wonderful letter. Listen towhat he writes: "Therefore, mybrethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in theLord, my dearly beloved." The very first word is "Therefore."Whenever we see that word in Scripture, we should always ask, "What isit there for?" Paulis pointing us back to everything he has just written, especially the closingverses of chapter 3. Because our citizenship is in heaven... because we arelooking for the return of our Savior... because one day He will transform ourvile, lowly bodies to be like His glorious body... therefore, stand fast in theLord. Our future hope should determine our present faithfulness. Paulthen opens his heart to these believers with a series of beautiful expressionsof love. He calls them "my brethren dearly beloved." Paulloved these people with the love of Christ. Then he says they are "longedfor."Thoughseparated by hundreds of miles and imprisoned in Rome, Paul deeply desired tosee them again. Distance could not diminish his love for them. Next he callsthem "my joy." What a statement! Paul's joy was not found inpossessions or circumstances. It was found in people whose lives had beenchanged by the Gospel. Nothing brings greater joy to a pastor than seeingpeople growing in Christ, standing firm in the faith, and faithfully servingthe Lord. John expressed that same truth when he wrote in 3 John 4, "Ihave no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." ThenPaul calls them "my crown." The word "crown"here refers to the victor's crown that was placed upon the head of an athletewho had won the race. The Philippian believers were evidence that Paul's laborhad not been in vain. They were his spiritual reward. Every soul that comes toChrist... every believer who grows in grace... every life transformed by theGospel... will be an eternal reward for those who faithfully serve the Lord. ThenPaul comes to the central command of the verse: "So stand fast inthe Lord." The words "stand fast" mean to standfirm, to remain steadfast, to refuse to be moved. Paul has already used thisexpression back in Philippians 1:27: "Stand fast in one spirit, withone mind striving together for the faith of the gospel." The Christianlife is not only a race to run; it is also a battle to fight. The worldconstantly pressures us to compromise. The flesh tempts us to give up. Satanseeks to discourage and deceive us. Yet Paul says, "Stand fast in theLord." Noticehe does not simply say, "Stand fast." He says, "Standfast in the Lord." That makes all the difference. We do not stand inour own strength. We stand in His strength. We do not rely on our owndetermination. We depend upon His grace. Paul would later write in Ephesians6:10, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power ofhis might." The only way we can stand against the pressures of thisworld is by abiding in Christ every day. Ilove how Paul closes this verse just as he began it: "My dearlybeloved." His command is wrapped in love. He is not speaking as aharsh authority demanding obedience. He is speaking as a loving spiritualfather encouraging his children to remain faithful. My friend, that is God'smessage to each of us today. Stand fast. Stand when culture changes. Stand when others compromise. Stand when trialscome. Stand when your faith is tested. Stand when you feel weary. Stand—not inyour own strength—but in the Lord. One day our Savior will return, and it willbe worth it all. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!
1 Timothy 2:1–8 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3 This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time. 7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling. Introduction Give Thanks for God's Providence (1 Timothy 2:1) Pray for America (1 Timothy 2:1–2) America's Greatest Need Is the Gospel of Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:3–6) Seek Revival (1 Timothy 2:7–8) Conclusion
The Secure MindPhilippians 4 Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we begin our study of the fourth and final chapter ofPaul's wonderful letter to the Philippians. As we begin this last chapter, I'dlike to remind you of the great theme that has run throughout this book.Philippians is often called "The Epistle of Joy." In these four shortchapters, Paul mentions joy or rejoicing at least sixteen times. What isamazing is that he wrote this letter while he was under house arrest in Rome,chained to a Roman soldier and awaiting trial before Caesar. Howcould Paul have such joy in the midst of such difficult circumstances? Theanswer is found in having the mind of Christ. In Philippians 2:5 Paul tells us,"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." Aswe have walked through this letter together, we have discovered that eachchapter reveals another aspect of the mind of Christ that produces a joyfulheart. Inchapter one, we learned about the single mind. Paul's heart and life werecentered on one great purpose—to know Christ and make Him known through theGospel. Whether in prison or free, whether living or dying, his passion neverchanged. That is why he could say, "For to me to live is Christ, and todie is gain." A joyful heart begins with a single mind that is fixedon Jesus Christ and His Gospel. Then,in chapter two, we learned about the submissive mind. Paul pointed us to thegreatest example of humility the world has ever seen—the Lord Jesus Christ, whohumbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. ThenPaul gave us three living examples of that same servant spirit: himself,Timothy, and Epaphroditus. They each considered others before themselves andwillingly sacrificed for the sake of Christ. A joyful heart is found in humbleservice. Inchapter three, we discovered the spiritual mind. Paul reminded us to place noconfidence in the flesh—not in our achievements, our religion, or our ownrighteousness. Instead, we are to count all things but loss for the excellencyof the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. Like Paul, we should have one greatdesire: "That I may know him." The spiritual mind is always growing,always pressing forward, and always pursuing a deeper relationship with JesusChrist. Nowwe come to chapter four, where we will discover the secure mind. This chapterteaches us how to stand fast in the Lord when life becomes difficult. Itteaches us to rejoice in the Lord always, to bring every care to God in prayer,and to experience "the peace of God, which passes allunderstanding." It teaches us to discipline our thoughts by thinkingon things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report. Itteaches us the secret of contentment in every circumstance. Andit brings us to two of the most beloved promises in all of Scripture. In verse13 Paul declares, "I can do all things through Christ which strengthensme." Then, in verse 19, he assures us, "But my God shallsupply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Whatwonderful promises! As we study this final chapter together, I pray that Godwill give each of us a secure mind—a mind that stands firm in Christ, rejoicesin every circumstance, prays about everything, thinks on the right things,rests in God's peace, and trusts completely in His unfailing provision. Myfriend, that kind of mind produces a joyful heart. Let'spray. Heavenly Father, thank You for the wonderful truths You have taught usthroughout the book of Philippians. As we begin this final chapter, help us todevelop a secure mind that is anchored in Christ. Teach us to rejoice always,to pray about everything, to think on those things that honor You, and to trustYou completely for every need. May we truly experience the peace and joy thatonly You can give. In Jesus' precious name we pray. Amen. Godbless and may you have a wonderful wonderful day!

Host Tim Boyum travels to Tennessee to meet up with Lee Greenwood. As America celebrates 250 years, Greenwood tells us the incredible story behind his hit, "God Bless the USA." From the inception on the tour bus to the stage with Ronald Reagan to an emotional story of singing it after 9/11, the song has defined his career. What you don't know is that the song almost never made it. A limousine trip to a record label executive's house on Halloween changed the course of history.

It's Friday, which means it's Shoot Around time. Episode 137. Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog are back with the fan questions that didn't make the Tuesday show — plus some detours that definitely weren't on the agenda. First up: a listener asks whether certain championships just mean more than others. Brian Windhorst sparked the debate on ESPN comparing the Knicks title to the LeBron-Cleveland moment in 2016. Robert's answer might surprise you — for him personally, the 2005 title in San Antonio hit harder than any of the Lakers runs, and he explains why. B-Dog makes the case for Kobe's first ring without Shaq, and Rob gets into what the 2021 Braves World Series meant to him working inside that organization. Then there's the World Cup. It's in America right now, and a viral video of a French guy experiencing Buc-ee's for the first time is basically the greatest piece of content on the internet. The guys use it as a jumping off point: what does a foreigner absolutely have to experience in the US? Waffle House at 2 AM makes the list. Soul food does too. Atlanta gets discussed at length, and Jameis Winston cleaning up a stadium in Dallas with Japanese fans is just a genuinely wholesome moment. A listener question about Rick Brunson's courtside moment with Jalen after the title turns into one of the more personal conversations on the show — all three guys share a memory with their dads. Robert's involves sneaking candy into Silver Streak and a hard foul from his pops during a pickup game. Rob talks about a rough stretch with his father that got repaired when his daughter was born. Worth a listen. From there: household chores, the great grocery shopping debate, Trader Joe's vegan oatmeal cookies vs. Thin Mints, and a final fan question about the wildest thing anyone's ever seen at a live sporting event. Robert tells a story from a Lakers-SuperSonics game that Phil Jackson definitely remembers. And somewhere in there, a bird dies at a Braves spring training game. Episode 137 of the Shoot Around — every Friday on the Big Shot Bob Podcast feed.

What if one of the most important political symbols in American evangelicalism isn't a campaign slogan, a policy platform, or a charismatic preacher, but a worship song? In this episode of the Straight White American Jesus Sunday Interview, host Leah Payne speaks with Religion News Service journalist Bob Smietana about his reporting on the unexpected political life of Chris Tomlin's worship anthem "How Great Is Our God." Over the past several years, the song has appeared everywhere from the Capitol Riots to ReAwaken America rallies and Sean Feucht events, to the memorial service for Charlie Kirk. Yet unlike overtly political songs such as "God Bless the USA," "How Great Is Our God" contains no explicit political message at all. So why has it become such a powerful soundtrack for conservative Christian activism? Drawing on his reporting for NPR's All Things Considered, and Payne's God Gave Rock and Roll to You: a History of Contemporary Christian Music, Smietana and Payne discuss the rise of “Christian Nashville-ism," the fusion of the worship music industry, suburban evangelical culture, celebrity influence, and political identity. Nashville's Christian music machine has produced a soundtrack so ubiquitous that it now functions as a kind of sacred common language across American Christianity. In an era of political polarization, worship songs provide emotional resonance, spiritual legitimacy, and a sense of collective identity that can easily travel into political spaces. Together, Payne and Smietana explore how contemporary worship music became one of the most influential forms of religious formation in American life. They discuss the rise of Chris Tomlin and the Passion movement, the mainstreaming of charismatic worship practices, the growing overlap between worship culture and conservative politics, and the role of suburban megachurches in shaping modern evangelical identity. The conversation also examines how Christian nationalism often operates less through overt ideology than through atmosphere, familiarity, nostalgia, and music. Why do songs matter so much in political movements? What happens when worship becomes a form of cultural power? And why has a seemingly apolitical worship song become one of the defining sounds of conservative evangelical America? In this episode: Why "How Great Is Our God" has become a fixture at conservative political events The relationship between worship music and conservative activism Nashville's role as a center of evangelical cultural power Chris Tomlin, the Passion movement, and the mainstreaming of charismatic worship How worship music became the dominant language of American Protestantism Charlie Kirk, Sean Feucht, and the politics of sacred music The rise of suburban megachurch culture and its political influence Why contemporary worship songs often succeed where political slogans fail "Comfort food Christian nationalism" and the power of familiarity The overlap between MAGA politics, evangelical identity, and worship culture Links: Bob Smietana's NPR article: “Why an Apolitical Worship Song Has Become Popular With Conservative Activists” Adam Perez: ““It's Your Breath in Our Lungs”: Sean Feucht's Praise and Worship Music Protests and the Theological Problem of Pandemic Response in the U.S.” Worship Leader Research Leah Payne's God Gave Rock and Roll to You: a History of Contemporary Christian Music Bob Smietana Official Website Bob Smietana at Religion News Service Bob Smietana's book, Reorganized Religion: The Reshaping of the American Church and Why It Matters: Learn more about your ad choices.
