Podcasts about god cares

When you think about the size of the universe, it's easy to feel tiny. But Psalm 8 reminds me that the God who made the moon and stars is still mindful of us.

When a lion roars at 114 decibels, it jolts you back to reality. In the opening message of the Let the Lion Roar series, Rev. Vicki Harrison walks through Amos 1-2 and asks a question many of us have wrestled with: when we look at the injustice and suffering in our world, does God actually care? The answer Amos gives is yes. God is not silent. He is in pursuit. This message explores who Amos was, a humble shepherd and fig farmer God called to prophesy to the prosperous and apathetic northern kingdom of Israel. We see God roaring in judgment against the surrounding nations, then against Judah, and finally against Israel itself for oppressing the poor, trampling the vulnerable, and worshiping God on Sunday while tolerating injustice on Monday. God sees everything, He counts everything, and His patience has a breaking point. Key scripture: Amos 1-2, with the central declaration "The Lord roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem" (Amos 1:2) and the indictment of Israel in Amos 2:6-8. Rev. Harrison also points to 1 John 5:19 and shares the challenge from International Justice Mission's Gary Haugen: what is God's plan for justice in the world? Just us. We are plan A, and there is no plan B. The invitation is to pray every day this week over a justice issue and ask God how He wants us to respond, both as a church and personally.

Jessica Latshaw Taormina leading worship. Rob Palkovitz teaching - God Care

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

We're bringing back one of our favorite conversations with Annie F. Downs because it still feels just as relevant today. We talk about waiting, disappointment, relationships, hearing God's voice, and learning how to trust God when life doesn't look the way you expected. Also, somehow we end up in a passionate debate about sleeping in socks.

When tension lives in your shoulders and sleep won't come, God's invitation to cast your worries on Him is more than a mental exercise, it's a physical act of release for your whole self.

Do you have to pray to the right name of God for Him to hear you?Jehovah-Jireh for provision. Jehovah-Rapha for healing. Father for forgiveness. Spirit for help.Does God care more about formality when you pray? Or does He just want to talk to you?P.S. A bird also joined us this week. Justin may or may still be trying to find it. Prayers appreciated. 

Sunday Morning 17th May - Pastor Kendal Davies - 2 Kings 6:1-7

As you listen to these scriptures, contemplate the ways God shows His care for you. No matter where you are, where you go, or what you do, He is always right there with you. His thoughts about each of us, are more than the grains of sand this world holds. Never are we out of His thoughts. How secure, how safe it is to be with Father God, who knows you, and loves you without reserve.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America.

God Cares for You Pastor Brian Kachelmeier

What do you do with emotions like anxiety, anger, sadness, disappointment, or fear? Are emotions something Christians should suppress, something we should follow, or something we should surrender to God? In this episode, we're talking honestly about emotions: where they come from, what they reveal, and how they fit into the Christian life. Because while emotions are real and God-given, they were also affected by the fall. That means our feelings can reveal what's happening in our hearts, but they were never meant to become our authority. At the end of the day, emotions make wonderful servants but terrible masters. Your feelings are real, but they are not your authority… God is. If you've ever wondered, “Does God care how I feel?” or struggled to know what to do with difficult emotions, this conversation is for you.   Helpful resources:

God cares about the pace we set for ourselves—not just in our healing or growth, but in our everyday lives. In this episode, we look at three examples from Scripture that give us a glimpse of God's heart toward us. It's a beautiful picture of love and care.   RELATED EPISODES: ·       Episode 189: When Healing Takes Longer Than You Hoped ·       Episode 131: Healing in Layers: What Art Taught Me About Grief ·       Episode 166: God in the Midst of the Storm: A Devotional Reading of Mark 6:45-52 ______ >> Imagine Devotional (Website | Amazon) >> Free Journaling Workshop: 3 ways to encounter God on the pages of your journal http://lovedoesthat.org/journalingworkshop >> Book Kari as a speaker for your next event: http://lovedoesthat.org/speaking

Pastor Josh looks at 1 Samuel 2:1-11 in our sermon series, Draw Near.

Most of us have never been taught what the Bible actually says about our bodies. Christine Caine is asking the question a lot of people are afraid to ask out loud — does God care what you do with your body? How you eat, how you exercise, how you present yourself? What about tattoos, piercings, or cosmetic surgery? The answer is more nuanced — and more freeing — than you might think. In this full sermon, Christine Caine walks through the biblical truth about the body as the temple of the Holy Spirit, and brings Scripture into conversation with some of the most personal questions we carry — about fitness, beauty standards, stewardship, and identity. She's not here to shame anyone. She's here to bring clarity where the culture has created confusion. Because there's a difference between honoring your body and idolizing it. And most of us are navigating that line without a map. In this episode, you'll discover: What it actually means to steward your body as God's temple — without becoming consumed by it Why your identity is rooted in Christ, not your appearance or your fitness level What the Bible says about tattoos, piercings, cosmetic surgery, and beauty standards How to examine your motives — and make decisions about your body from freedom, not pressure This is for you if you've ever asked: → Does God care how I look or how I take care of my body? → Is it wrong to want to be fit, healthy, or attractive? → What does the Bible actually say about tattoos or cosmetic surgery? → How do I stop swinging between neglect and obsession with my appearance?

Dr. Tom Curran and Fr. Patrick Smith,Pastor of St. Augustine Catholic Church, Washington, DC, discuss readings from the Sixth Sunday of Easter Philip in Samaria (Acts 8:5-8, 14-17) and The Advocate. (John 14:15-21) Today's hosts testify to God's providential care and talk about three moments of the disciple: called, powerlessness and empowered.

Why does God care about your sexual choices? You'll discover that sex wasn't just a physical invention—it was God's idea, designed with a specific purpose to draw you closer to Him and reflect the intimacy He desires with you. You can expect to understand God's original design for sexuality, learn why sexual sin requires a different response than other sins, and find freedom from the shame and fear that may be keeping you in hiding. Most importantly, you'll encounter Jesus as the friend of sinners who offers forgiveness, hope, and a new identity.Passages in this message:1 Corinthians 6:12-20Genesis 2:24Matthew 19Galatians 6Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content from The Story!TAKE YOUR NEXT STEP HERE:Thestorygr.com/connectJOIN US IN PERSON:The Story Church475 6 Mile Road NW, Comstock Park, MI 49321You can support the ministry happening at The Story at thestorygr.com/give#thestorychurch #comstockparkmi

In this episode, Rowan Miller and Don Patterson respond to two common but often misunderstood questions: what happens to pets after they die, and how the Bible actually frames singleness. First, they address the emotional and theological assumptions people bring to the question of animals in the afterlife. While Scripture offers glimpses of a restored creation, it stops short of giving a definitive answer about individual pets. The discussion focuses on how to think carefully where the Bible is silent—without dismissing the goodness of God. Second, they walk through 1 Corinthians 7 and Paul's teaching on singleness. Rather than treating it as a problem to solve, Paul presents singleness as a legitimate and sometimes advantageous calling—while still taking sexual desire and human limitations seriously. This episode aims to separate biblical teaching from cultural assumptions and help listeners think more clearly about both eternity and everyday life decisions. 00:00:03 Do Pets Go to Heaven? What Scripture Actually Reveals 00:03:44 Singleness in the Bible: Misunderstood or Ignored? 00:10:32 Why Paul Calls Singleness an Advantage (Not a Deficiency) 00:15:29 Where the Bible Is Silent—and How to Respond Honestly

Ye of Little Faith The post God Cares appeared first on Andre Mitchell Ministries.

April 19, 2026 - Eric Barton - 1 Peter 5:6-7 “God Cares” by Bethel Downtown

Does God have one, specific path for your life—one that you might miss?

Dr. Jordan Stone preached on Nahum 1:1–11.

Mark 7 contains two seemingly unrelated stories. First, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for their unclean hearts, which are more focused on tradition than on God's word. Then, in a very strange interaction, Jesus calls a Gentile woman a "dog" before healing her daughter. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams uses the first story to help us understand the second.

Why would God care about what consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedroom? Pastor Adriel Sanchez answers this popular critique of Christianity's sexual ethic and explains why what we do with our bodies is more important than we think.

What happens when we want the power of God—but not the heart of God? In this message, Christine Caine walks through Acts 8 to uncover a powerful warning for every believer: God isn't impressed by influence, platforms, or appearances—He is looking at the heart. Through the story of Simon the Sorcerer, Christine reveals the difference between authentic faith and counterfeit spirituality, and why our motives matter more to God than our gifts. In a world obsessed with visibility, influence, and spiritual performance, it's easy to mistake appearance for transformation. But Scripture reminds us that the gifts of God can never be bought, earned, or manipulated—God cares deeply about the condition of our hearts. If you've ever wrestled with comparison, spiritual ambition, disappointment, or hidden bitterness, this message will help you realign your heart with what truly matters and pursue the genuine work of God in your life. ✨ What you'll learn: • How to discern between genuine and counterfeit spiritual influence • Why motives matter more to God than outward success • How bitterness quietly blocks spiritual freedom • Why the gifts of God can never be bought, earned, or manipulated

Healing After Betrayal – Moving from Broken to Brave with Tammy Gustafson Have you ever done everything you were told a “good Christian wife” should do—pray harder, forgive quickly, submit more—only to find yourself deeply betrayed and wondering where God is in the middle of it all? In this powerful conversation, Leslie sits down with counselor, speaker, and author Tammy Gustafson to talk honestly about betrayal trauma and the unique struggles Christian women face when their marriages are shattered by infidelity or sexual betrayal. Together, they unpack the spiritual confusion, misplaced responsibility, and emotional pain many women carry—and offer a path toward courageous, honest healing. If you've ever felt trapped between your faith and your pain, this episode will help you find clarity, permission, and hope for moving from broken to brave. Key Takeaways When Faith Messages Keep Women Stuck Many Christian women struggle to heal after betrayal because of harmful messages they've internalized—messages about submission, silence, and being responsible for their husband's behavior. These teachings can make women feel small, guilty, or spiritually obligated to ignore their own pain. True healing requires untangling these distortions and rediscovering the heart of God, who sees and cares about the pain of betrayal. Anger Is Not the Enemy—It's Part of Healing Anger is a normal and healthy response to betrayal. In fact, it's often the energy that empowers women to set boundaries, find their voice, and begin healing. Tammy explains the difference between healthy anger, which helps us process grief, and rage, which harms. Suppressing anger often keeps women stuck, while honestly expressing it can move healing forward. Why His Healing Can't Be Your Job After betrayal, many women instinctively focus on their husband's shame, regret, or recovery. But this often stops the healing process. Tammy explains that true restoration begins when each person stays in their own “shoes”—the betrayer doing the hard work of repentance and change, and the betrayed partner focusing on her own healing. When that balance is restored, real transformation becomes possible. Forgiveness Has a Process—And It Can't Be Forced Many Christian women are pressured to forgive quickly, but premature forgiveness can actually shut down the healing process. Forgiveness doesn't mean the betrayal was okay, and it doesn't guarantee reconciliation. Instead, forgiveness usually comes after truth-telling, grieving, and processing anger. When women allow healing to unfold in the right order, forgiveness becomes freeing rather than forced. Brave Healing Requires Strength and Self-Honor Moving from broken to brave means stepping into your God-given worth and refusing to minimize the harm done to you. It means honoring your grief, setting boundaries, and recognizing that you deserve safety, honesty, and respect. Though this path may feel unfamiliar—or even selfish—it is often the courageous step toward real healing and freedom.   If this conversation resonates with you, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate these questions by yourself. If you're wondering whether what you're experiencing is actually abuse—even if there's no physical violence—I invite you to join my upcoming workshop: Conquer Workshop: If He Doesn't Hit Me, Is It Still Abuse? God Cares. Register here: https://leslievernick.com/masterclass This workshop will help you understand what healthy and unhealthy relationship dynamics really look like—and what God says about your safety, dignity, and well-being. Tammy is also offering a powerful resource for women navigating betrayal recovery: To access the freebie, click here: https://betrayalhealing.thrivecart.com/webinar-series-her-work/?coupon=LVFREE26 Her training will help you understand what helps—and what hurts—the healing process after betrayal.   Friend, if you are walking through the devastation of betrayal right now, please hear this: your pain matters, and God sees it. Healing may take time. It may require courage you didn't know you had. But you are not alone, and this painful chapter does not have to define the rest of your story. With God's help, wisdom, and the right support, it is possible to move from brokenness to strength—from confusion to clarity—and from despair to hope. And I'm cheering you on every step of the way.

One of the most common struggles Gen Z voices today is this: “I want godly friends, but I can't find them.” In a culture where friendships are often shaped by convenience, social media, or shared interests, it can be hard to know what healthy, faith-shaping friendships actually look like. But does God really care who your friends are? In this episode, we explore what the Bible says about the influence of friendships and why the people you surround yourself with matter more than you might think. Scripture reminds us that our relationships quietly shape the direction of our lives over time. The people closest to us influence our character, our decisions, and even our faith. If you've ever wondered how to navigate friendships while staying rooted in Christ, this conversation will help you think more intentionally about the people walking alongside you.   Helpful resources: Lina Abujamra's new book All Your Life Watch the conversation on YouTube here Follow on IG @linaabujamra

Pride is a form of unbelief. Faith admits need. Pride won't. Faith banks on God. Pride won't. Faith casts anxieties on God. Pride won't.

I hope you'll see this truth today. God cares about your emotional state. We've often been taught to hide our emotions. I know that I struggle to express my emotions in public. We've been taught to stifle them. Be strong. Don't let anyone see what is going on inside. But God cares about our emotions.Main Points:1. Throughout Scripture, we see men and women feeling and expressing emotion, but nowhere do we see it more than in the book of Psalms.  David and the other Psalm writers openly bare their soul and their inner lives. We get to see what's happening on the inside, not just on the outside.2. Did you know that God also feels emotion? We feel emotion because God feels emotion. Genesis tells us we were created in the image of God.3. Not only can God bring healing to our physical bodies, but He can also bring healing to our mental and emotional state. God cares about our whole being. Today's Scripture Verses:Psalm 77:1-4 - “I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted. I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint. You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak.”Psalm 13:1-2 - “How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?”Ephesians 3:16 - “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being…”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

What does the Bible say about health and fitness? In the third episode of our Not Just Sacred series, we take a Christian look at the body, the soul, and how they're meant to work together. We explore whether fitness matters to God, how Scripture warns against being ruled by food or consumption, and why aging is something the Bible honors rather than resists. From questions about appearance and motivation to modern conversations around tracking, diets, Botox, and GLP-1s, this episode offers biblical principles for navigating health wisely without turning it into an idol. We also announce the winning book for our Not Just Sacred book club!
