In this powerful message, Pastor Khalid explores Judges 6:11–18 and the life of Gideon—how God called him out of hiding and into purpose. When we're suffering from secondhand trauma, it can be difficult to recognize God's presence, promises, and plans. But like Gideon, we're invited to shift our mindset and respond with a willing heart.#TraumatizedSeries #RedemptionChurchFW #PastorKhalid #FaithHealing #ChristianGrowth #Judges6 #SecondhandTrauma #SpiritualHealing #ChurchOnlineSupport the show

Bible StudyDon't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: Sermon Notes:I. The Harvest and the Hesitant WorkerJesus sees a plentiful harvest (Matthew 9:37–38) — hearts ready to be gathered into God's kingdom.Every Christian is placed in a “harvest field”: family, work, school, neighborhood.Like Moses, many of us feel hesitant or unqualified to join God's mission.Exodus 4 shows how God responds to our hesitation with grace and provision.II. Four Pieces of Good News for Hesitant Workers1. God Calls the Unqualified (Exodus 4:1)Moses feels disqualified: he has a past, he's failed, and he isn't eloquent.God doesn't deny Moses' weaknesses—He calls him anyway.Key truth: God always uses calls unqualified people.Feeling unqualified often means we understand the weight of God's work and our dependence on Him.2. God Gives Signs (Exodus 4:2–9)Moses worries: “They won't believe me.”God gives three signs: the staff, the leprous hand, and water turned to blood.The point: it's not about our power, but God's.God confirms His work through signs, wonders, and spiritual gifts (Hebrews 2:3–4).Today, the Holy Spirit still bears witness through prayer, healing, prophecy, and other supernatural signs.Our role is to step out in faith — results belong to God.3. God Gives His Words (Exodus 4:10–12)Moses says, “I'm not eloquent.”God replies, “Who made your mouth? … I will be with your mouth and teach you what to say.”God is Lord of both abilities and disabilities.Gospel work requires words, not just actions — the gospel is good news that must be spoken.When we go, God provides the words we need.Even weak or awkward speech can carry the power of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:3–5).4. God Sends Us in Community (Exodus 4:13–16)God provides Aaron to go with Moses.God's mission is shared work—He sends His people together.Jesus sent disciples two by two.The Church is one body with many gifts.Everyone has a part in the mission.Discussion Questions:Are all Christians called into "harvest work?"Does sin disqualify us from being gospel workers?Have you experienced God bearing witness to his own message through a sign, wonder, or some supernatural expression of his power? What happened? What was the result?If we're meant to rely on the Holy Spirit for the right words to speak to others, is it still important to study the Bible, prepare a testimony, or equip ourselves for ministry in other ways?What gifts or roles do you believe God has given to you to help the body in gospel work?Questions?Do you have a question about today's sermon?

If God's calling you into something new and it feels uncomfortable, this episode will help you trust Him in the messy middle and step into the higher purpose He's preparing for you. Sister, has God ever stirred something new in your heart—something that excites you and scares you at the same time? You know He's calling you to grow, but this new season doesn't look like what you've always done. Maybe it's a new goal, a dream, or a shift in how you serve Him. You're stepping out of your comfort zone, and the middle feels messy—but that's exactly where God meets you. You're not alone. I'm walking through this too. For years, God used me to inspire women in Christian fitness—to invite Him into their workouts, health goals, and daily habits. But lately, He's been stretching me beyond the gym and calling me higher—to help women find whole-life success in Him: faith, purpose, calling, and confidence that flows from Jesus. Inside This Episode In this raw and real episode of Strong. Confident. His., I'm inviting you behind the scenes of a brand-new season God is walking me through. You'll hear: The story of how God pressed this shift on my heart—including the quiet moment of exhaustion that changed everything The scriptures He's been highlighting to give me courage, peace, and direction Four reflection questions to help you discern what God might be asking of you in your own new season If you've been sensing that God has more for you—more purpose, more peace, and more impact—this episode will help you trust Him in the messy middle and step boldly into your next chapter. Scriptures from This Episode Hebrews 11:6 — “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” Psalm 42:1 — “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.” Psalm 18:33 — “He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places.” Psalm 18:36 — “You enlarged my path under me; so my feet did not slip.” Deuteronomy 12:9 — “For as yet you have not come to the rest and the inheritance which the Lord your God is giving you.” Reflection Questions Where is God calling you to change or grow? What dream or passion has He placed in you that you've been hiding or doubting? Are you thirsting for Him above all else, like the deer in Psalm 42? Are you willing to step onto higher ground, trusting Him to steady your feet even when it feels uncertain? Encouragment Your next season may not look like your last—and that's okay. When God calls you higher, He also equips you. He expands your capacity, your anointing, and your impact. If you remember nothing else, remember this: thirst for Him like the deer longs for water, and trust Him to steady your feet on the new heights. If this episode blessed you, would you share it with a friend who needs this reminder?  Your share could be the encouragement she's been praying for. And if it spoke to your heart, please take a quick moment to leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify—it helps more sisters find hope, healing, and strength in Jesus.

God called Moses despite fear and failure, equipping him to lead His people. God still calls us today, sometimes in ordinary steps of faith, inviting us to respond with a faithful “yes.”

Tonight, we study God's call to three major Old Testament prophets: Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. What did God tell them as He called them to be prophets, and what do we learn about our own identity as people who are "sent" by God?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get behind our through the Bible project. Read more here Project23. Our text today is Judges 6:11–12. Now the angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.” — Judges 6:11-12 Gideon is hiding. Not from some small threat, but from the Midianite army that's been stripping Israel bare for seven years. He's threshing wheat in a winepress — a pit designed for crushing grapes, not for separating grain. It's cramped, awkward, and inefficient… but it's safe and secure from their Midianties oppressors. And that's where God shows up. The angel of the LORD greets him, not with a rebuke, but with a declaration: “The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor.” God finds him in a hidden place and calls him to frontline ministry, even giving him a new name and identity — a mighty man of valor. Fear results in retreat. It convinces us to settle for survival instead of stepping into spiritual opportunities God is putting in front of us. For Gideon, it was a literal enemy outside the caves and outside the pits. For us, it might be the fear of failure, rejection, loss, or inadequacy. Hiding feels safe, but it's not always where God wants you to remain. He doesn't call his people to stay in the winepress. He calls them to step into the places where his strength will meet their insecurities and deficiencies. God might be calling you out right now — into a conversation you've been avoiding, a ministry you feel unqualified for, or a bold act of obedience that scares you. If you wait until you feel brave, you'll never move. But if you step out in faith, you might discover God has already equipped you for the fight. Which is exactly what happens in Gideon's story. ASK THIS: Where are you hiding right now — spiritually, emotionally, or relationally? What big opportunity might God be calling you into that fear is holding you back from? How could believing “The LORD is with you” change your next step? What would it take for you to leave your “winepress” and step into the open? DO THIS: Identify one opportunity you've been avoiding because of fear. Pray over it today, and then take one small but concrete step toward it — even if it's just telling someone you trust. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You for calling me out of my hiding places. Help me see the opportunities You're putting before me and give me the courage to step into them, knowing You are with me. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Do It Again."

Sunday Service 1 Samuel 10:1-13 Lead Pastor Tim Davis @ Christ The King Church. A non-denominational Christian Church located in Canby, OR. (www.ctkcanby.com)

God placed Esther in the right time and place, called her to act with courage and wisdom, and used her obedience to save lives. God still calls us today.

Join hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester as they dive deep into one of the most compelling stories from the Hebrew Bible - the call and anointing of David from 1 Samuel 16:1-13, paired with the powerful verses from Psalm 51 about creating a clean heart. In this episode, we explore: * Why Samuel's mission to anoint David was an act of treason * The dramatic irony of Samuel falling into the same trap he's warned against - judging by appearances * The ancient symbolism of shepherds as kings throughout the Near East * How God's value system clashes with human expectations of leadership * The Hebrew understanding of "heart" as the seat of wisdom and discernment, not just emotion * Why the youngest son pattern appears throughout Scripture * How David's capacity for repentance becomes more important than his perfection This podcast explores the Narrative Lectionary, offering fresh insights into familiar Bible stories and their relevance for today's world. Whether you're a pastor preparing for Sunday, a student of Scripture, or someone seeking deeper understanding of these ancient texts, this conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, calling, and God's surprising choices.

Welcome to "I Love to Tell the Story," a podcast exploring the Narrative Lectionary! In this episode for October 12th, 2025, hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferducker, and Craig Koester dive into 1 Samuel 3 - the powerful story of God calling the young boy Samuel. Join us as we explore: * The crisis of leadership in ancient Israel at the end of the judges era * Why Samuel didn't initially recognize God's voice calling him * The challenging truth-telling ministry Samuel was called to, including confronting his mentor Eli * How God's persistent calling doesn't depend on our ability but on God's faithfulness * What it means to be a "trustworthy prophet" who speaks difficult truths * The ongoing vocation of listening that defines prophetic ministry * How all Christians are called through baptism to various forms of ministry and witness This episode tackles the uncomfortable reality that sometimes God calls us to speak truth to power, even when it's difficult or involves confronting corruption. The hosts remind us that everyone - not just pastors - has callings from God in multiple areas of life.

God doesn't just wipe the slate clean—He invites us into a transformed life of restoration.

In this powerful episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam, Pastor Sammy, and special guest Miles Minnick dive deep into what it means to be a bold witness in unexpected places. Miles shares his compelling testimony—from a life fraught with struggles, including teen fatherhood and drug use, to the moment he heard God's call to make music and committed to following it before any results came. Pastor Andrew Carter, who planted a church from scratch and welcomed Myles into his congregation, offers insightful reflections on shaping spiritual culture and empowering emerging voices. This conversation echoes the courage of Daniel in Babylon—standing firm in faith while navigating cultural influence. The episode challenges us all to embrace our God-given platforms—whether that's music, business, or creative expression—and ask: How can I be salt and light where I already am?

At a gas station encounter, a young man challenged Fr. Meyer with the words of Jesus: “Call no one on earth your father.” What does this really mean?   In this homily, we explore how Scripture must be understood in context, why St. Paul himself refers to being a spiritual father, and how there is a difference between simply having a title and truly living it.   We are all called “Christian” by baptism—but do we live as disciples of Jesus Christ? God isn't finished with us yet. We can still grow into the fathers, mothers, godparents, friends, and saints He calls us to be.  

Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, and using the Douay-Rheims psalter for his reflections, Father Matlak guides you in prayer and shares a brief reflection and a thorough examination of conscience providing you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. ________________

Heaven's standard for “greatness” is much different than earth's. In this world, the rich, the famous, the popular, the knowledgeable, the influential, the successful are often the ones labeled “the great.” Although these attributes do not disqualify anyone from becoming part of God's family, they are definitely not the dominant traits He looks for. Remember, Jesus set a humble child in their midst and talked about this mystery.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

2 Timothy 4:1-5 (morning service) Sermon Points: #1 God Wants You to Hear Sound Expository Preaching (1-2)… #2 God Knows Some Will Want Unsound Unbiblical Preaching (3-4)... #3 God Calls for Faithfulness in Spite of Ear Itching Preferences (5)… Preacher: Daniel Pelichowski

God promises to “divide the spoil with the strong” in Isaiah 53:12. That name is bestowed on all who receive the benefits of the crucifixion and resurrection of the Son of God. Three biblically-revealed sources of strength make God's people invincible, unconquerable, and everlastingly victorious. No wonder Scripture commands, “Let the weak say, I AM STRONG”.

Welcome to a very special series of the Louisiana NOW podcast, Hope Beyond the Storm. Ten episodes that tell the stories of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in South Louisiana. Twenty years after the storms, the recovery isn't just history—it's still shaping lives, churches, and communities across South Louisiana. This series shares first‑hand stories of resilience, hard choices, and pastoring from pastors, lay leaders, volunteers, and neighbors who rebuilt together.  Katrina became a defining moment for Rev. Kaseem and Sabrina Short, awakening a call to serve in bold new ways. They share how the crisis clarified their mission and deepened their faith. Their journey — selling everything they had and moving from Seattle, back home - underscores that God's call can come in life's most turbulent seasons.

God's people are described as “sons of the mighty” in Psalm 89:6. Our Father is the Almighty (the all-powerful, all-sufficient God). The Holy Spirit is the “Spirit of might” who dwells within us, strengthening us with “might” in the inner man. We have weapons of warfare that are “mighty through God.” No wonder we are even called “the mighty.” Overcoming this world and its darkness is simply part of our spiritual DNA. Powerful revelation!

You're not just growing — you're being called. This episode explores how to trust the process when it feels uncertain, lonely, or unseen — and why alignment always begins with identity.Have you ever felt the quiet nudge that you're outgrowing where you are — but questioned whether it's selfish, risky, or unrealistic to move forward?In this episode, we explore the deeply personal process of following God into unfamiliar territory — even when there's no detailed roadmap. Whether you're in a career that no longer fits, a role that feels too small, or a season that's quietly ending, this conversation invites you to trust the One who's calling you forward.Julie shares how ILR came into being without her fully realizing it, and the moments of obedience and awkwardness that led to deeper healing and alignment. We look at Abraham's obedience in Genesis 12, John Bevere's radical career pivot, and the neuroscience behind meaning-making and identity clarity.Key takeaways:Why spiritual growth often feels like loss before it feels like alignmentHow vertical alignment soothes the nervous systemWhat it means to honor calling, even when it's not convenientHow your obedience is never just for youToday's Micro-Recalibration:Ask yourself: – Where have I been slow to move because I've been waiting for permission? – What has God already asked me to do — that I haven't acted on yet? – What would shift if I trusted the Giver more than the gift?If others look to you — as a manager, parent, partner, or friend — model what it looks like to honor calling over comfort. Share the stretch. Normalize obedience.Whether you're in the messy middle or quietly sensing more — this episode reminds you: you're not behind. You're being aligned.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Exodus 3:12 - He [God] said [to Moses], “But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”

You feel the nudge to start something bigger—a business, a ministry, a message. You know it's God stirring something in your spirit, but fear, doubt, and anxiety are holding you back. Is it really His plan or just your own idea? In this episode, we talk about how to move forward when you feel called but scared. You'll learn how to discern God's voice, stand on Scripture when fear creeps in, and take faithful action even when the vision isn't fully clear. If you've been stuck in waiting mode, this is your sign to trust God, take the next step, and walk boldly in your calling.
