Have you ever felt disappointed with God? Maybe you prayed for healing, believed for a breakthrough, or waited for an answer that never came — at least not the way you expected. In this episode of How to Win, Mike and Tiffany Moore have an honest conversation about what it means to wrestle with disappointment in Jesus and still hold onto faith. We'll talk about why disappointment happens, how to process unmet expectations, and how to bring our real emotions to God without losing hope. If you've ever wondered, “Why didn't God come through the way I thought He would?” this conversation is for you.

This sermon addresses the universal human struggle of unmet expectations with God, using John the Baptist's doubt while imprisoned as the central narrative. The message emphasizes that doubt is not disbelief but rather an internal struggle between belief and uncertainty. Through Matthew 11, Pastor Erin explores how John—the bold prophet who introduced Jesus—found himself questioning whether Jesus was truly the Messiah when his circumstances didn't change despite his obedience. Jesus' response teaches that God's work often doesn't align with our expectations, but His faithfulness remains constant. The sermon encourages believers to focus on what God is doing rather than what He hasn't done, to bring their doubts directly to Jesus, and to trust His goodness even when His methods don't match our preferences.

God wants you to be free of all insecurity. Today, Joyce shares stories from Scripture to help you more fully appreciate God's plan for your life.

Bell Curve author joins the intellectual mob (Peter Thiel, Jordan Peterson, Ross Douthat et al) and finds GodCharles Murray, the infamous co-author of the Bell Curve, has joined the crowd and is Taking Religion Seriously. But what if God doesn't take him seriously—or worse, finds his work on cognitive elites sufficiently annoying to sentence him to give powerpoint presentations on IQ for eternity? Murray doesn't seem too stressed by these Dantesque scenarios. Instead, he's eager to keep up with his Quaker wife, Catherine Bly Cox, who has taken religion far more seriously than Murray himself. Even Murray's discovery of God feels slightly detached and skeptical—as if the social scientist is laughing at himself for doing such an unverifiable and perhaps even low IQ thing. So if Murray can't take his own faith seriously, why should God—or fellow skeptics of today's mob fashion for religion—take him any more seriously? 1. The Intellectual Zeitgeist Has Shifted on Religion Twenty years ago, the New Atheists (Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens) dominated intellectual discourse. Today, figures from Peter Thiel to Jordan Peterson to Ross Douthat are taking religion seriously again. Murray sees this as the West emerging from “intellectual adolescence”—no longer assuming our Enlightenment parents were wrong about everything.2. Science Has Flipped from Religion's Enemy to Its Unexpected Ally For centuries, scientific discoveries (evolution, psychology, astronomy) delivered body blows to religious belief. But Murray argues that 20th-century science—from the Big Bang to near-death experiences to the hard problem of consciousness—has created new mysteries that materialism can't explain but religion can. We've moved from a “god of the gaps” to genuine scientific anomalies that challenge pure materialism.3. Spiritual Sensitivity Is a Trait, Not an Achievement Murray believes sensitivity to spiritual matters is like musical ability or artistic appreciation—a genetically grounded continuum from low to high. His wife has access to spiritual insights he doesn't. This isn't about intelligence (both Christopher Hitchens and Francis Collins are brilliant) but about a distinct cognitive capacity. Smart people at Harvard don't believe because they lack this trait, not because they're smarter.4. Murray Is Chasing His Wife's Faith (and Losing) Catherine Bly Cox began her religious journey after feeling she loved their baby “more than evolution required”—sensing she was a conduit for mysterious, superfluous love. Her faith has slowly evolved “like a light on a rheostat.” Murray, the empiricist, can't access what she experiences. He's stuck investigating historicity and near-death experiences while she explores meaning and the human condition. He's envious but can't catch up.5. Murray Won't Apologize for The Bell Curve—Even to God When pressed about whether guilt over his controversial work might motivate his religious turn, Murray was emphatic: “Not the slightest. I am not only proud of the bell curve, I think that the bell curve contains the germ of a lot of the arguments I've been making to you today.” He insists God cannot be anthropomorphized or placed on an IQ scale. But his refusal to reckon with how his life's work might look from a divine perspective—or from the perspective of Christian love and universal human dignity—suggests his religious journey remains fundamentally intellectual rather than transformative.

If you've ever walked through a season of loss, exhaustion, or endless waiting — wondering what God is doing or why He seems silent — this episode is for you.In the premiere of Spark Faith, Dr. Kris Sargent opens her heart about a deeply personal season that changed everything. After losing her mother in early 2024, Kris found herself emotionally and spiritually drained. Instead of rushing back into work and “getting back on the horse,” she heard God say one word: wait.What felt like an unwanted pause became sacred preparation. Through that quiet season, God began to remind her — and now all of us — that He never wastes our pain. He repurposes every experience, every tear, every waiting season for our growth, His glory, and the good of others.In this first episode, you'll discover:✨ Why it's okay to be honest with God — even angry with Him — and still pray through the pain.✨ What Romans 8:26–28 really means in context (hint: God is already working with your pain, not around it).✨ How the Holy Spirit intercedes when we have no words left to pray.✨ Why our waiting seasons are often God's preparation seasons.✨ How God uses our stories to bring comfort, hope, and healing to others.Dr. Kris also shares why a Functional Medicine doctor is talking about God — and how her decades of experience helping women heal physically led her to realize that the heart and the body can't be separated.Lab tests can't heal grief, and supplements can't restore a weary soul. Only God can.Spark Faith is where faith and functional medicine meet — helping women heal their bodies, renew their minds, and rediscover God's presence in every part of their journey.Scriptures mentioned:Romans 8:18, 26–28 · 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 · Genesis 50:20 · Psalm 34:18If you've been in a waiting season or wrestling with unanswered prayers, this episode will remind you that your story isn't over — it's being rewritten by the One who makes all things new.

In this mind-opening episode of A Course in Miracles podcast, Jennifer Hadley dismantles the deeply ingrained belief that God punishes us for being sinful, revealing instead that all punishment is self-inflicted through projection of our own guilt and shame. Drawing from ACIM Chapter 3 and Lesson 189, she shares her personal breakthrough of recognizing how she used self-destructive behaviors like drinking and overeating not just to numb herself, but to reinforce her belief that she was bad and deserved punishment—a pattern she traces to centuries of religious conditioning about being sinners. Through the "law of seeing" principle, Jennifer demonstrates that when we feel God's love within us, we perceive a world of mercy, but when we harbor self-hatred, we see only fear and cruelty, ultimately inviting listeners to release these ancient patterns of guilt before entering the new 9-year cycle in 2026.

We were born in a condition of depravity and that condition has condemned us to eternal judgement. God knew this would happen and He made a way out. Mankind still resists the grace of God and as a result accelerates the path of judgement in their lives. This is the truth about our salvation; God will not stop. He will make every effort possible to bring us into His comfort and peace. We are the only ones that can reject and throw it away.

This season, we've been talking about what to do when you look around at your life and think, “Wait… this is not what I ordered.” Maybe things didn't turn out the way you thought they would — and now you're asking those big, scary, beautiful questions: Who am I now? What do I want? Where do I go from here? But for a lot of us who grew up in church, those questions can feel… complicated. Because somewhere along the way, we were taught that it's wrong to want things. That it's dangerous to trust ourselves. That being a “good Christian woman” means making yourself smaller — dying to yourself, staying quiet, and serving everyone else first. Today we're having a conversation I think so many of us need — about what faith actually asks of us. Our guest is Dr. Alison Cook, a therapist, host of The Best of You podcast, and author of the bestselling book by the same name. Alison is an expert at the intersection of faith and psychology. She helps women heal from past wounds, develop a strong sense of self, and experience a loving God who is for them — not asking them to disappear. We're going to talk about what self-denial really means, how to know when faith has turned into self-erasure, and what it looks like to follow Jesus without losing yourself in the process. You ready? Let's jump into my conversation with Alison! Mentioned in this episode:

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, it's never enough for God? That His love is something you have to constantly work for, instead of something you can actually rest in? In this episode, I'll show you the truth: God doesn't want you to earn His love — because His love has always been yours. Here's what you'll learn: Why God's love existed for you before the world was even created. How Scripture reveals that His love is unconditional and freely given. Why He cares more about your heart than the length of your spiritual “to-do” list. How to stop leaning on religion and start leaning on God's character instead. I'll also share my personal story of how God's unconditional love felt radically different from the performance-based “love” I experienced from my earthly father. And you'll hear a simple way you can begin experiencing breakthrough today. ✨ Ready to take your first step into fully experiencing God's love?

STAND Stand in Strength I. The Strength to Stand Begins with God, Not You. “A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” Ephesians 6:10 NLT “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” Isaiah 40:29 NLT … he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” … 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT II. Our Battle Is Not Against Flesh and Blood. “Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.  Ephesians 6:11 NLT “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians 6:12 NLT “In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross.” Colossians 2:15 NLT III. Standing Requires Surrender. “Not my will, but yours be done” Luke 22:42 “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee _ _from you” James 4:7 “When I am weak, then I am strong” 2 Corinthians 12:10 IV. God Doesn't Call You to Fight Alone—He Calls You to Stand Covered. : “Therefore, put on every piece of God's armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.” Ephesians 6:13 NLT “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still” Exodus 14:14 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper” Isaiah 54:17 “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” 1 John 4:4 Are You Standing in God's Strength—or Striving in Your Own? In what areas of your life have you been relying on your own strength instead of surrendering to God's power? How does understanding that our battle is spiritual, not against flesh and blood, change the way you approach challenges and conflicts? Reflect on a time when surrendering to God's will brought you unexpected strength or peace. What did you learn from that experience? What practical steps can you take this week to "put on the full armor of God" and stand firm in His strength?

A @Christadelphians Video: This two-part presentation was prompted by comments made on line by female Christian writers on the subject of nudity and dress codes. The comments were discovered by the presenter during research on the subject of modesty. In the opinion of these writers ‘there is no dress code' in the Bible. Furthermore, given that God at creation pronounced Adam and Eve ‘very good' in their naked state, then the concern for their nakedness and fig leaf invention and the subsequent skin covering provided by God was only to appease their shame. The writer's conclusion being that God was fine with them staying as they were. In fairness the author discussing nudity, was not suggesting that women should go about naked but simply that public nudity was not at a fundamental level a problem with God. The purpose of our presentations is to explore the Bible position on dress code, and nudity in session one, under the title “God Doesn't Care What I Wear”, and the second session the more nuanced subject of Modesty, under the heading of “The Woman is the Glory of the Man”. Description: As far as God is concerned, clothing was designed to represent humility and separation. We find that the Bible starts with nakedness and ends with appropriate clothing. God's view of modesty expected in a worshipper, as outlined in the Bible, is explored. Consideration is given to the roles of men and women as symbolising Christ and his Bride."Highlights

Psalm 3:1-8 KJV - A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. 3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head. 4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. 7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people.

For years, many in the faith community have been taught the idea that God hand-picks a spouse for every individual. This belief has shaped expectations, fueled disillusionment, and even contributed to unhealthy relationship dynamics. In this thought-provoking episode, Coach Bryan Thomas challenges that narrative head-on and opens up a fresh, freeing perspective on marriage, choice, and responsibility.Coach Bryan explains that while marriage is a sacred institution created by God, it is not mandated for all, nor is it a pre-assigned arrangement where one must wait for “the one.” Instead, marriage is a journey, not a sprint—something that should be entered into with maturity, clarity, and care.This episode dives into six key truths:Marriage is not mandated by God but designed as a framework for family and legacy.Marriage is a journey that requires patience and preparation, not a race to the altar.Spouses are not chosen by God; they are chosen by us, based on knowledge, wisdom, and discernment.Free will matters—God has a will for your life, but He also gives you the ability to make choices within it.Responsibility outweighs benefits—when we focus only on perks and miss the weight of responsibility, chaos follows.Every marriage is unique—there is no single blueprint or perfect model. Maturity and growth are the true cornerstones.Listeners will be encouraged to let go of the passivity that comes with waiting on “divine matchmaking” and embrace the responsibility of their own decisions. By reframing marriage as a partnership rooted in intentional choice and spiritual maturity, this conversation empowers singles and couples to move forward with clarity and confidence.If you've ever wrestled with the belief that God will one day drop “the one” into your life—or if you've struggled with the pressure that narrative creates—this episode will give you the freedom to rethink marriage from a healthier, biblically sound, and more practical perspective.

Emotions can be overwhelming—both for our daughters and for us as moms. From tearful meltdowns to unpredictable mood swings, it's easy to feel like big emotions threaten to take over the day. But here's the truth: feelings aren't something to fix or fear. They're invitations—opportunities to lean into God's presence, disciple with compassion, and point our girls toward steadfastness in Christ.  In this episode, co-hosts Rachael Culpepper and Melissa Bearden share personal stories of their own girlhood “big emotion” moments, reminding us that as moms, we've stood where our daughters now stand. Together, they explore practical and faith-filled ways to help girls put words to their emotions, process them in healthy ways, and anchor their identity in who God says they are—not in how they feel.  You'll also hear from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, who offers an actionable tool for moms: teaching your daughter to reframe “I am” statements into “I feel” statements. This simple shift can transform self-talk, strengthen identity, and remind our girls that feelings are temporary—but God's truth is eternal.  Through practical steps like journaling, mealtime check-ins, and memorizing “truth anchor” verses, this episode equips you to model emotional maturity, guide your daughter with gentleness, and rest in the knowledge that God didn't call you to fix every emotion—He called you to shepherd your girl's heart toward Him.  Referenced Scripture:  Genesis 16:13 — God sees us in our struggles.  Romans 12:2 — Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Exodus 14:13 — Stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord.  Psalm 139:14 — Fearfully and wonderfully made.  Isaiah 43:1 — Called by name and redeemed.  1 Peter 2:9 — Chosen and belonging to God.  This Week's Reminders:  Feelings Are Real, But Not Always True  Help your daughter name her emotions without letting them define her. Just because she feels unloved doesn't mean she is unloved. Root her identity in God's truth, not her temporary feelings.   She Learns Emotional Maturity by Watching You  Your example is her blueprint. When you model calm, prayerful responses and speak truth over your own emotions, you're teaching her how to navigate hers with grace and faith.   God Doesn't Call You to Be Her Savior—Just Her Shepherd  You're not expected to fix every meltdown. Your role is to guide her toward the One who can hold every emotion she faces. Let that truth lighten the load—you're parenting with God, not apart from Him.  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.    To find or start an AHG Troop in your area, visit americanheritagegirls.org.  

There's a kind of rest that is still ravenous, and comfort alone is costing your soul more than you think. This week on Win Today, Tim Timberlake joins me to name the central lie of our era: that convenience equals progress. God rarely fits into the narrative designed by self‑help culture, and grief is rarely the speed bump we're told. When breakthrough is packaged and delivered, it disconnects you from the transformative power of pain. Tim unpacks why immediate comfort doesn't heal—it anesthetizes. Why rushing through grief doesn't preserve strength—it fractures your future. And why so many believers craft manufactured breakthroughs that collapse when real life tests them. If your fast-track faith feels flat…if comfort makes you morally weaker…or if you've chased progress more than presence, this episode confronts the real cost, and invites deeper formation.

Jase calls it a vacation, but it involved a back injury inflicted by Missy's cast iron skillet, wiping out in an ice-cold Colorado stream, and limping through a metal-detecting frenzy that led to a rare 1797 coin discovery. Zach and Al explore Christ's mission to touch the untouchable, heal the broken, and bring life to the desolate. Jase is moved to reflect on Jesus' question, “Do you understand what I've done for you?” and the love that pursues us long before we pursue Him.

Baby D has the day off so it's just the guys on this one. Before we discuss the new music that dropped last Friday, Mal wants to know if we're being over exposed to new music. JID's album has Rory thinking he has the potential l to be the next generation's GOAT. Leaks continue to spill from Cardi's camp, and Rory has a theory about her new track "Imaginary Players". Mal shows love to Shedeur Sanders after his first preseason game, but the real question is how come we didn't hit on Deion and Karrueche. Plus, a caller needs advice (or permission) to make up for lost time, and what song does Mal say makes him cry while flying? #volumeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
