This is not the update I expected to share. What began as a serious accident turned into something far more significant — something I now believe God allowed for a reason. God has spoken to my wife and I through this trial, and I believe it's not just for me. Read transcript

Hey CBJ Family, Have you ever wondered, "God, am I missing something?" Even when you pray daily...even when you're doing "all the right things"...the vision feels stuck.  You are not alone--and this episode is for you. In today's conversation, we're reframing vision through a biblical lens--not as something you chase, but as something God is forming within you. This isn't about vision boards or hype. It's about clarity, obedience, patience, and trusting God's timing when nothing seems to be moving. Rooted in Habakkuk 2:2-3, Proverbs 16:3, Psalm 127:1, and more, we unpack what it really means to wait well- without quitting, striving, or losing faith.  In this epsiode you'll learn: Why vision is about who God is shaping you to become, not just what you want How to tell if you're vision is aligned with God's will Why silence from God doesn't mean absence - it often means development What to do when you've been praying over the same vision long after excitemnt fades You'll hear this powerful truth: "If God gave you the vision quickly, He may grow you slowly so you can carry  it." We close with clear takeaways and a simple activation exercsie you can do today- not to rush the process, but to anchor yourself in peace, prayer, and trust. Press play if you're ready to: Stop second guessing Trust God's timing Stay faithful in the waiting Walk forward with peace, not panic Watch the show on YouTube or on audio, and subscribe so you never miss a week with us!

And in giving His Son, God also gives us a choice: to believe, to receive, and to step into the life He offers.

In this teaching, you'll learn how to overcome inner resistance, silence uncertainty, and step forward with confidence using biblical wisdom and practical strategy.

At Christmas, Christians often quote Isaiah 7:14—“the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son”—but few pause to ask what that verse meant for King Ahaz before it pointed to Christ. In this episode of Thinking Christian, Dr. James Spencer walks through the political and spiritual crisis facing Judah, the rising Assyrian threat, and Ahaz’s refusal to ask God for a sign. James unpacks why God answered with something that seemed wildly inadequate in the face of war: a child. He explores how this sign functioned as both judgment and hope, how the language of “young woman” and “virgin” works in Hebrew and Greek, and why Matthew is not ripping Isaiah 7:14 out of context when he applies it to Jesus. Along the way, you’ll see how prophetic patterns ripple across Scripture, how our expectations of power clash with God’s humble ways, and how the virgin birth reveals a Savior who comes not with military might, but with a presence that judges and delivers. Perfect for thoughtful Christians wanting to go deeper this Christmas. Subscribe to our YouTube channel

Encore Podcast of a previous sermon: What is it like when God brings judgment on a nation? It's like Romans 1:16-32. God gives us over to our sins. What does that mean? If you are wondering why we are seeing an explosion of crazy and insane decisions, let alone more suffering you are seeing the result of God's judgement on people and nations. This short sermon gives a synopsis of what occurs. This sermon was given by Elder Allan L Nemer during our Saturday Shabbat Service on November 19, 2022

“God Is Fully With Us In These Strange Days”   By Mary Lindow   Just over 2,000 years ago, Emmanuel, also called the Christ, changed the world.  In that moment when God became flesh, humanity watched prophecies unfold as hope was born. Jesus, our Emmanuel, provided hope that sin and death wouldn't always win and mankind wouldn't always feel so painfully alone.    What Does Emmanuel Mean in the Bible? It's a word written on countless Christmas cards and sung in some of our most-loved carols.  In Scripture, it first appears in the Old Testament in Isaiah 7:14, which says,    “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign;  The virgin will conceive, and give birth to a Son, and will call Him Emmanuel”.   The Lord Himself will do this, Scripture says.  In other words, this act, which occurred in the birth of Christ, was God-ordained and God-accomplished.    This points to grace, which doesn't come through human effort but rather through relying on God to do what we humans cannot. This was the reason Christ came.    God GAVE us this child, named Emmanuel, which literally means,  “with us is God,” or “God WITH us.”    He may seem distant.  It may even seem impossible this year for you to feel hopeful.  You might have lost your job.  Or maybe you're feeling isolated from those you love.  You may have even grieved the loss of a family member or friend.   Though he may have felt far away to them,  God was so much closer than his people knew — gently planning Jesus' entrance into the world in the most unexpected way.   Looking around, all you might be able to see right now is darkness.  If you try to adjust your eyes, blinking into the night, there seems to be no light.  The weight of sickness, death, injustice and pain perhaps, seem too heavy.   That's why I love this idea of advent which is practiced only among Christians.  And yes, it comes from probably a more liturgical view, but has been so embraced and now practice in homes and church gatherings across the world, as families gather to contemplate and to pray and to spend quiet time discussing when Jesus came as a child as the Messiah!  Emmanuel!!! God WITH Us!     Advent means "coming" or "arrival" and refers to the Christian season that begins four Sundays before Christmas, where focusing on preparation for the celebration of Jesus's birth and his anticipated return is a beautiful thing! It's definitely better than the commercial glut of constant “buy, buy, buy,” and, the overkill of sappy fantasy Christmas shows, as well as the pressurized giving of gifts to every boss, coworker, friend and pet!  It's a time of expectation, reverence and hope for many Christians!   I was reading through a Wycliffe advent devotional last evening, and these words so struck me that I'm going to share them with you trusting that they too, will move your heart to remember that Emmanuel, God …. IS with us!  No matter what may come   This excerpt of the devotional said, “As we enter the Advent season, do you feel weary? You're not alone. Or maybe you're just tired. Numb. Ready to pull the covers over your head and try this whole "Christmas cheer" thing again next year.    Don't feel guilty.  Instead, acknowledge the very real darkness of this world and you'll have eyes to see Advent through the same lens as the people waiting for a Messiah thousands of years ago. You could even say that being weary and worn out is an acceptable place from which to approach this Advent season. Because Advent exists to remind us that, while darkness surrounds us and troubles exist, the hope of Christmas isn't far away.   The people of Israel hadn't heard anything from God about their redeemer.  God's chosen people must have cried out to him, asking how long it would be before their hope, their salvation, would arrive!  It was too dark, and God seemed to be silent.    Has he felt that way to you this year? Silent? Though he may have felt far away to them, God was so much closer than his people knew —gently planning Jesus' entrance into the world in the most unexpected way.   But at the appointed time, Jesus came — God with us in flesh and blood. Born in Bethlehem, carried to Egypt, raised in Nazareth. Son of Man and Son of God. A humble child and a holy King. Worshiped by some, rejected by many. Fully human, yet eternally divine.”     What beautiful and raw honesty in those words in that excerpt from the devotional!   Friends! Any way you look at it, Emmanuel was a living Divine Grace.  The infinite King, wrapped in the cloth of an infant.  The holy One, living among the fallen.  In Him, the impossible became real, not only in prophecy, but in His very presence.    When God stepped into our world,  “impossible” lost all meaning.     In Isaiah 42:16 it says, “And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;  I will lead them in paths that they have not known:  I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight.  These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.”      Dear believer!  The darkness of this world has always tried encroach upon the joy and the hope of God being with his people.  It hates that we cling to the light, and even though we cannot see or understand, everything fully about the ONE who came and paid the price for us, yet we abandoned our own hearts to him, trusting that he will guide and light our path. It is in this practice that all of hell must bow its knee and tremble for the very fact that Christ is in us and he is the hope of glory.  Someday we will return to the ONE who created us, but for now, he has come to walk with us, to be with us, and his Holy Spirit is here to correct, to guide, to convict and to advocate for us.    Let us cry out, “Oh Come! Oh Come Emmanuel! Oh come God! Be with us, in us, and move through us to help others who are trapped in the darkness!”   Let's take time to pray together about all of this right now. Lord God, only you can see into our hearts and know that under all the busy-ness of our lives , there is a deep longing to make this season one that welcomes you more deeply into our own lives.   Our hearts desire the warmth of your love and our minds search for your Light in the midst of the darkness. Help us to be peacemakers this season and to give special love to those who disagree with us. Please, Give us the strength and courage to forgive those who have hurt us or who treat us dismissively. Help us to free our hearts from the prison of anger and hurt. Only you Lord can bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us rest in this weary world. We thank you for being a God that IS  with us!

You can't work what God gave you until you know what God gave you.  “In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously.

You've built a business that changes lives, but what if the one thing holding back your next level isn't strategy, it's your stamina? The vision God gave you can't scale through a body that's running on low power. Years before Power on Plants began, Jarrod and I were building traditional medical and nursing careers, raising four children, and chasing big God-sized dreams. But our health wasn't keeping pace. We were exhausted, foggy, and frustrated — watching energy slip away while opportunities piled up. We didn't need more drive. We needed the simple, sustainable system to fuel the entire vision God had placed in our hearts.Then everything changed. Through prayer, research, and plenty of kitchen flops, God showed us how to turn whole food plant-based living into the fuel that enjoyably powers clarity, creativity, and endurance… on repeat! (No deprivation, no keeping up with numbers, and no small portions necessary.)From that breakthrough came our 5-Step Accelerator Framework — the proven blueprint for Christian entrepreneurs and Kingdom leaders who want to restore energy, sharpen focus, and multiply productivity for maximum Kingdom impact. THE RESULTS?75+ pounds lost naturallyand sustainably — no dieting, no deprivation.Chronic conditions reversed the way God designed — through real, delicious food.Energy, focus, and confidence restored — for life, family, and leadership.Clients now use this same Framework to turn their bodies into their #1 asset for business growth and Kingdom expansion.If your body's been slowing down your mission, it's time to fix that.

The message challenges us to recognize and utilize the gifts and opportunities God has entrusted to us.

In this episode of Beyond I Do, Adam and Ashlee unpack what it really means to steward your faith, health, and relationships well. Drawing from the story of Job, they explore how God's presence never changes—even when life feels heavy or uncertain. The real shift happens when our perspective does.This honest conversation challenges us to take personal responsibility in our walk with God and see service not as a burden, but as a joy. Whether it's managing our time, caring for our bodies, or deepening our spiritual discipline, we're reminded that everything we have is a gift meant to honor Him. Growth doesn't happen through shortcuts—it comes through consistency, humility, and a heart willing to serve.--Join our AFTER I DO community for Exclusive Content & community!www.afterido.app--Have a question about relationships?
