Podcasts about god given

You're not in a battle to get the victory — you're already standing in it. In this episode of Think Like a Champion, Gregory Dickow clarifies what real spiritual warfare actually looks like (hint: it's not what most people think), and how to manifest God's promises from the heavenly realm and into your everyday life.

In Day 192 of The Ways of the Righteous (Orchot Tzaddikim), in the Gate of Fear of Heaven, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the extraordinary greatness and potential Hashem placed within every human being. Humanity is unique among creation because we possess a neshamah capable of attaining wisdom, penetrating profound ideas, and recognizing both the physical world and the spiritual reality behind it.Rabbi Wolbe compares the Torah to life's owner's manual. A table, computer, or even a door comes with instructions explaining how it should be assembled and used. Life is infinitely more complicated, so Hashem gave us His instructions as well. The Torah teaches us how to approach marriage, raise children, develop ourselves, and understand the purpose for which we were created. If we want to know how to maximize life, we need to study the manual provided by its Creator.The lesson compares our relationship with Hashem to a king who brings trusted servants into his innermost chambers, reveals his treasures and secrets, and entrusts them with tremendous responsibility. The very fact that the king shares so much with them demonstrates how highly he regards them. Similarly, Hashem allows humanity to discover the extraordinary wisdom embedded throughout creation and gives us dominion over the physical world. This should awaken us to both our greatness and our responsibility.Rabbi Wolbe then offers a fascinating explanation for humanity's seemingly endless ambition. Our sages teach that one who has one hundred wants two hundred, and one who has two hundred wants four hundred. The soul originates from a lofty spiritual realm and naturally yearns to rise higher. But when that tremendous drive becomes redirected through the physical body, the desire for spiritual greatness can become a pursuit of bigger houses, greater wealth, higher positions, nicer possessions, and more honor.The goal, therefore, isn't to eliminate our drive for greatness—it is to redirect it upward. The closer we become to Hashem through Torah and mitzvot, the more we uncover the enormous spiritual potential already within us. Rabbi Wolbe concludes that human beings are capable of far more than we imagine. By fulfilling Hashem's will, we become increasingly connected to Him and can transform the soul's endless desire for "more" into an endless pursuit of wisdom, holiness, and closeness to God._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on March 23, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 18, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

Passing The TESTS: Our God-Given Opportunities James 1:2-6; Hebrews 11:6; Romans 10:13 August 9, 2026 The Power of Joy! James 1:2 - A decision must be made … and reinforced! Tests are inevitable. A promised powerful result! 1 Corinthians 13:4 – remembering God's main motive and character! (Ephesians 2:4; 1 John 4:7,8,16; Romans 5:8) Patience; patient endurance is critical in our development. (See Romans 12:2; Philippians 2:13; Romans 8:29) Tests, Trials, Temptations are inevitable in this fallen world (due to the world system, our flesh, the devil). These tests come in varied, multiple ways! (Relational, physical, spiritual, financial, etc.) The enemy's agenda is to attack our Faith! God can and does USE tests, trials to develop our Faith, increase our connection to Him! Enemy agenda - destroy; God's agenda - development. James 1:3,4 – God is “working on something”! (Hebrews 6:15) Faith and Patience are Partners! The Test won't endure forever or destroy you (1 Corinthians 10:18) Joy is supernatural energy! Joy is given by the Lord and deposited in your re-born spirit by the Holy Spirit. (John 17:13; Romans 15:3; Galatians 5:22) The Joy of the Lord is my strength! (Nehemiah 8:10)

Are distractions hijacking your calling?In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael talk about how to move past feeling spiritually stuck, experience a breakthrough, and unlock your godly inheritance. Distractions, negative environments, and generational curses and cycles are used by the enemy to hijack your purpose and legacy. The lie is to believe you're at the mercy of your circumstances. The temptation is to be obsessed with the problems. But freedom is found when you shift your gaze to Jesus and focus your thoughts on Him and who He has declared you to be.Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they unpack a powerful battle plan, share how to steward your home environment as a sanctuary, and why it matters to reclaim your family's unclaimed inheritance, turning past disappointments into a redeemed legacy for the kingdom of God.

Say yes to God; Show up; Expect God to be God Given. 2nd August 2026

As we are moving beyond a seven-day season of praise into a posture that accesses God's presence for clarity, breakthrough, and territory. We want to emphasize worshiping in spirit and truth, keeping God's ways, and dealing with inner holiness so God can drive away enemies and expand your borders. Key themes include Deuteronomy's call to love, obey, and hold fast, the story of the woman at the well, and a practical call to press into God's presence to receive strength and direction for the next season.

Most people think confidence has to come before you step into your gift. It doesn't. If you're waiting to feel ready before you use what God gave you, that's exactly why you're still standing on the sidelines.Chantae Cann proves that belief wrong. She's a renowned indie jazz and soul artist who has worked with luminaries like PJ Morton, Snarky Puppy, and India Arie, and she is also a creative and vocal coach for other artists. In this timeless interview, Allen and Chantae get into the shift in her thinking that lets her create from freedom instead of waiting on fear to leave first.Press play to find out why waiting for fear to disappear is the wrong strategy, what to do with your gift while you're still scared of it, and how to tell the difference between God's voice and your own insecurity. Send us a message!Don't Build Your Creator Lifestyle Alone.

As Nehemiah oversees the rebuilding of the Jerusalem walls, the people are keen. But opposition hits, and the initial excitement turns into exhaustion. As we build our lives on Jesus, there are a few key lessons we can take from this passage.

It's Monday, August 3, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Equipping the Persecuted's warnings about endangered Nigerian Christians unheeded On July 1st, Equipping The Persecuted issued multiple terror alerts warning that Islamist Fulani Ethnic Militia were preparing coordinated attacks in Nigeria against Christian communities in the Plateau, Benue, and Southern Kaduna states. They publicly pleaded with the Nigerian government to protect these vulnerable villages before it was too late. Tragically, their warnings were ignored. In the three weeks since, more than 250 Christians have been murdered in the very communities they identified. The latest massacre took place on Saturday, August 1st in Naridon village in Southern Kaduna, where more than 30 Christians were slaughtered as terrorists attacked for hours. Once again, innocent families paid the price while help never came. Equipping The Persecuted is the only organization consistently issuing terror alerts to warn vulnerable Christian communities before attacks occur while also deploying immediate emergency aid when those attacks happen. While others document the tragedy, their teams are already on the ground paying hospital bills, delivering emergency food, caring for the wounded, and helping bury the dead. Based on the intelligence they are receiving,  Equipping The Persecuted believes this current wave of violence is only the beginning. If you want to help our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ in Nigeria, go to www.EquippingThePersecuted.org/donate Senator Hawley to Dr. Fauci: “A million people dead. You're getting rich!” As The Worldview reported last Friday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee questioned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about his culpability in a cover-up about the source of the COVID-19 virus and what happened subsequently.  Shockingly, Dr. Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times, reported FoxNews. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri got righteously angry. HAWLEY: “Well, nothing says honesty like taking the Fifth, huh Doc? Let's try something. What day of the week is it today?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.” HAWLEY: “What color tie are you wearing?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.” HAWLEY:  “Let's just get one thing straight. You don't have any rights under the Fifth Amendment because you've been pardoned, as you very well know, as the Supreme Court has been clear for a century and more. Brown vs Walker, 1896: ‘When he has been pardoned, he may not stand upon his privilege.' “You know that. Your lawyers sitting behind you, now shifting nervously in their chairs, they know it. This isn't about the Constitution. This isn't about the law. This is about contempt -- contempt for this body and contempt for the American people. “But I think I know why you're doing it. It's because you don't want to answer questions. It's because you did all kinds of terrible things. It's because during the pandemic you got rich. I mean, your net worth now is north of $12 million! “You got over a million dollars in cash awards during COVID, during a 24-month span during COVID. A million bucks you knocked down in cash money using federal resources. Now you're worth more than $12 million. You've got a pension that, in its first year, paid out north of $400,000 a year. “A million people dead. You're getting rich! A million people dead. You're using federal employees to get cash awards for you. A million people dead, and you're here taking the Fifth because you don't want to admit that what really happened in all that time was a multi-month, multi-year course of self-dealing. Isn't that true, Dr. Fauci?” FAUCI: “On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer, based upon my rights under the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.” HAWLEY: “Yeah, well, silence is admission. And here's the real thing. At the end of the day, it wasn't just about the money, really. Was it? It was really about a power trip. I mean, through all of this, you wanted to be the most famous scientist in the world. You were so focused on getting every award and every drop of cash that you could, all because you wanted to be on TV. “You wanted to be the ‘sun god' of science. You wanted to be the guy who was in charge of it all. You wanted to lambast Trump. You wanted to make sure that nobody else stole your spotlight. You wanted to be ‘the guy.' “You had time to sit for InStyle magazine. Here's what you were doing with your time. You could sit for InStyle Magazine, but you can't answer questions for the American people. You could sit for InStyle Magazine, but you're here taking the Fifth. You could sit for InStyle Magazine and get a million bucks in cash awards, but now the cat's got your tongue. I bet he does. I tell you what. “Here's my conclusion from all of this. This was really all about you the whole time. Somewhere along the way, you lost your way. You may have been a good public servant at one time. I don't know, but I can tell you from reading your emails now, from looking at what you did, how you used your employees. Somewhere along the line, it became all about you. “You became a narcissist and a megalomaniac and a liar. You've lied to the American people, and you've lied to this body, and you've disgraced your profession by doing it. You called yourself ‘the most famous scientist in the world.' You've done more to harm science than anybody in my lifetime, and I hope you'll go home and write that in your diary.” Romans 14:12 says, “So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” By the way, check out a fascinating 17-minute video in which Scott Rouse, a behavior and body language expert, analyzes how he can tell Dr. Fauci was feeling tremendous stress during Senator Hawley's line of questioning. You can find it in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. When can someone plead the Fifth? The Pour Over media outlet addressed when someone can plead the Fifth Amendment.  Any time a statement is compelled and might incriminate you.  If someone is asked to testify or hand over evidence that could get them prosecuted, they can plead the Fifth. Is there anything that can override someone's Fifth Amendment right? Yes: immunity or a pardon which Dr. Fauci had from President Joe Biden.  Pardoned people are exempt from prosecution, meaning they cannot incriminate themselves, and therefore should be allowed to invoke the Fifth Amendment. Leftist TV Host SHOCKED about our God-given rights Back on July 5, 2025, House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, an Evangelical, affirmed that our rights come from God, not government, something he has affirmed many times since then. JOHNSON: “We are so blessed. We should not take it for granted. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal. It does not say born equal. It says created equal. “It is our Creator that gives us our rights. We are the first nation in the history of the world that acknowledged that our rights do not derive from government. They come from God Himself. (cheers) Those words up there, that motto, it says, "In God we trust” right above the speaker's rostrum. “Congress voted to put that there as a rebuke to the Soviets' worldview at the height of the Cold War. Why? Because communism, socialism find their root in Marxism, and Marxism begins with the belief that there is no God. It's wrong, and this Congress made a stand those many years ago, and we should do it again. “We're different. We're distinct. We're exceptional because we acknowledge that right there.” On July 27th, 2026, Speaker Johnson's affirmation that our rights come from God got under the skin of leftist TV host Katy Tur on MS NOW, formerly called MSNBC,  She moderated a panel in which she questioned the legitimacy of that claim.   Listen. TUR: “What about this passage from Mike Johnson declaring that ‘our rights do not derive from government, they come from You, our Creator and Heavenly Father.' Is this him putting God over the Declaration of Independence?” Needless to say, the most famous line of the Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Jarrett Stepman of The Daily Signal rightly points out that “the concept that God is ‘above' the Declaration of Independence is in the Declaration of Independence. God's law supersedes man's law. Governments that deprive citizens of rights endowed by their Creator, without due process, are bad governments and are possibly illegitimate.” One of Katy Tur's guests on the leftist MS NOW network, Atlantic writer McKay Coppins, weighed in. He noted that her audience may not be familiar with the concept of God-given rights. COPPINS: “That idea is not wholly uncommon. I mean the idea that we have unalienable rights that come from God can be read in a fairly benign way -- which is basically that we have innate human rights, that our Constitution and our democratic government, are meant to codify. “The thing that might alarm some people is some of the rhetoric that we heard at this rally that we are in a spiritual battle, that the forces of good and evil are at work here, and that partisan politics is injected directly into the spiritual, Biblical rhetoric. “We have heard that for the last couple of years. It's been ratcheted up more and more, especially since Donald Trump lost in 2020. It can lead to some pretty dangerous places.” Lesbian co-owner of Seattle WNBA team fined for confrontation w/Christian teens As The Worldview reported on July 27th,  29-year-old Sophie Cunningham, an outspoken Christian WNBA player on the Indiana Fever team, has publicly opposed biological males competing in female sports and coming into female bathrooms and locker rooms. During the July 28th game against the Seattle Storm, two teenage girls, wearing XX-XY Athletics t-shirts, held a sign which read, “Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls,” reports The Christian Post. Those shirts and the sign got under the skin of Celeste Keaton, a lesbian co-owner of the Seattle Storm who is faux married to co-owner Lisa Brummel.  Romans 1:24 and 26 says, “Therefore, God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ... God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.” Not only did Keaton use foul language, calling the teen girls “insane,” but Keaton also claimed that somehow Jesus needed to forgive the Christian girls for affirming God's design of men and women. In an interview with Brandi Kruse, who organized an event affirming Cunningham outside the arena, one of the teen girls explained what happened. TEENAGE GIRL: “We were just sitting there with our signs that said, ‘We love Sophie. Thank you, Sophie, for speaking up.' Watching the game, being super respectful. We're just holding our signs and cheering for both teams. “And this lady, older lady, comes up to us. ‘Oh, I hope Jesus can forgive you for what sin you've done.'” Kruse interjected that she noticed the girl was crying. The girl agreed and said this. TEENAGE GIRL:  “I've never been yelled at like that. I mean, I've had people hate on me on the internet, but that just took me by surprise because I thought she was gonna be nice. And then she started screaming at us. It's disappointing though too, because she's also a woman, and she just cussed out two 16-year-olds that were just trying to have fun. We're just trying to support Sophie.” Sophie Cunningham complimented the teens and blasted the Seattle Storm lesbian co-owner. Thankfully, the WNBA fined Keaton an undisclosed amount and suspended her from attending the Storm's next five home games, reports Fox13. In response, the Storm organization said, "We respect the league's decision to fine and suspend co-owner Celeste Keaton. We remain committed to creating a welcoming and respectful environment for anyone who attends a Storm game." In an X post, Sophie Cunningham wrote, “Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe.” She added that she was embarrassed about Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton's actions, saying, ”Shows the type of leader she is.” Three homeschool moms from Missouri, Colorado & Ontario weigh in Here at The Worldview, Nicki Jones in Carthage, Missouri said, “As a homeschool mom of four boys -- Adam (15), Elijah (13), Uriah (11), and Isaac (8), we enjoy listening to the newscast nearly every morning at the breakfast table as we do our Bible time and worldview discussions. Thank you for your faithfulness in this ministry!” Cherise in Bennett, Colorado wrote and said, “Adam, I just made a $102 donation from my children -- Dawson (14), Caidence (13), and Carmia (10). They tithe 10% to our church from cleaning houses, doing yard work, and babysitting. On top of that, they have another 10% for ‘blessings' and they chose to donate it to The Worldview. We hope it blesses you and the many, many people who listen to your newscast! Thank you for putting it out every weekday!” And Liz Williams in Ontario, Canada said, “Adam, I'm a homeschooling mom of two, with just one-year experience in homeschooling. I quit my full-time job to homeschool my 12 and 15-year-old. I'm very thankful for the work and the quality of work that The Worldview in 5 Minutes is doing. My kids and I listen to it during car rides or meals and love it. “I think one of the reasons we stick around, besides all the other good reasons, is your voice. I know you are a professional radio host. Your voice just made us feel like we are listening to a large radio station's production. I also deeply appreciate the news from a Christian worldview.” 43 Worldview listeners gave $15,409.17 And finally, by Saturday night at 6:15pm Central, 42 Worldview listeners stepped up to the plate and invested their treasure to fund the 6-member team behind The Worldview for another year.

And we were blown away by Krystoffer in Fullerton, California who gave $500, Justin in Wray, Colorado who gave $500, Jack in Post Falls, Idaho who gave $500, Dean in Carol Stream, Illinois who gave $500, Matt, Amanda, Malachi and Samuel Dreyer in Greencastle, Indiana who gave $500, an anonymous donor from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada who gave $500, Keith and Nicole who pledged $50/month for 12 months for a gift of $600, Nellie in Caldwell, Idaho who gave $1,000, Albert in LaGrange, Indiana who gave $1,000, Dorian in Aurora, Colorado who gave $1,000, Tim and Toni in Keller, Texas who gave $1,000, Keith in Watrous, Saskatchewan, Canada who pledged $83.34/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,000, and Elizabeth in Carol Stream, Illinois who pledged $100/month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200. Wow! Those 43 gifts add up to $15,409.17.  That's the most donors and the largest total amount we've seen in a single day throughout this July 2026 fundraiser. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (drum roll sound effect) $109,679.17 (sound effect of people cheering) For those of you who stepped up to the plate throughout the month, we are deeply grateful for your love and your sacrifice.  We need to raise $13,820.83 by tonight! But we're not across the finish line yet! In order to hit our final goal of $123,500 on this spill over day – Monday, August 3rd -- God needs to prompt folks to give the FINAL $13,820.83 in order for the 6-member Worldview newscast team to be fully funded for another year. Would you prayerfully consider being one of 27 friends to give a one-time gift of $500 or a monthly pledge of $41.67 for 12 months? Or could you be one of 14 friends to give a one-time gift of $1,000 or a monthly pledge of $83.34? To put your potential donation into perspective, think about how much you spend on your monthly cable bill or your monthly  phone bill or eating out at restaurant.  When you think about it that way, finding 27 friends to pledge $41.67 a month or 14 friends to pledge $83.34 a month seems pretty doable! Just go to TheWorldview.com, click on Give, select the dollar amount, and make sure to click on the “recurring” button if that's your wish.  And remember this, if you want to continue your monthly pledge to The Worldview that you started prior to July 1, 2026, please email us so we can count your generous ongoing gift toward our total.  That would help tremendously.

Send us Fan MailFrom the Inside Out: Color, Confidence, and God-Given Design with Rivky DuchmanIn this episode of From The Inside Out Podcast with Rivkah Krinsky and Eda Schottenstein, we introduce guest Rivky Duchman, a Miami Beach color analyst and image consultant who blends aesthetics with Torah and Chassidus. Rivky explains her work uses the face as an “aesthetic blueprint” (skin tone, eyes, hair, contrast, texture, lines, and energy) to identify harmonious colors and styles, helping women develop signature style, reduce insecurity, and avoid trend-driven noise. She outlines seasonal color analysis origins and nuanced subtypes, shares how outside comments can disconnect people from their design, and discusses aesthetics as communication, first impressions, modesty, and dignity, citing stories about Rabbi Ishmael. Rivky supports enhancement tools like makeup or hair color while warning against “distortion,” critiques status-driven trend chasing, and emphasizes that true worth comes from being a part of Hashem and expressing inner beauty outward.EPISODE SPONSORSSwimplyRent a private pool by the hour, right in your own city — no crowds, no chaos, just your family or friends in your own space, with over 15,000 pools across the US, Canada, and Australia.Download the app or visit Swimply.com — code INSIDEOUT10 for 10% off your next booking!Shefa LivingWomen carry so much — marriage, kids, running a home, all while staying connected to Hashem and themselves.

What if your family had a mission as clear as any thriving organization? Without intentionality, families don’t drift toward health—they drift toward chaos. In a world pulling parents in a thousand directions, many Christian families find themselves simply reacting, drifting instead of living with God-given purpose. In this must-listen episode of Christian Parent/Crazy World, host Catherine sits down with Derek England, Executive Director of Family ID—a ministry with over 25 years of experience equipping parents to build intentional, value-driven homes. Why This Episode Matters:Every family drifts—unless you set your direction on purpose. Few of us stop to ask, “Why has God brought our unique family together?” or, “How do we intentionally pass on our core values?” Catherine and Derek England shine a spotlight on the practical and biblical tools that can transform your family from surviving to thriving. Guest Highlight:Derek England is not only leading Family ID but has personally experienced how clarifying family identity can radically alter the trajectory of a home. His heart is for every family—from toddlers to teens—to discover their God-given calling together. What You’ll Discover in This Episode Why Family Culture Matters Catherine reminds us that “families don’t drift toward health—they drift toward chaos.” The foundational strength of your family is the most important ministry, eclipsing even your career and outside achievements. Intentionality Over Drift Derek England explains how, after years of approaching work with strategy and goals but “taking family one day at a time,” he and his wife attended a Family ID workshop and immediately knew they’d found what was missing. “Once you think it, you can't unthink it.” Your Family’s God-Given Uniqueness Not every family is called to the same mission. Discover the importance of answering the question: “Who are we?” Hear how Family ID helps thousands of families articulate their unique identity, purpose, and direction—with tools that actually shape daily life. The 16 Family Types Using research and decades of experience, Family ID has identified 16 different family cultures—from “harmonious” (like the elephant: connected and relational) to “focused” (passionate, intentional, persistent). Find out how an online, totally free assessment can help you discover yours. Living Out Core Values Hear how Derek England’s family intentionally chooses and lives by five core values such as “radically protective of quality time” and “unwavering integrity.” Learn why having just a handful of clearly-stated values provides a shared language and an anchor for decision-making—even for young kids. Practical Tools You Can Use Today Family ID offers bite-sized videos and workbooks to walk you through creating your own family identity, mission, and values—accessible online, easy to do in short sittings, and free from cost barriers. The Family ID process includes resources to ensure every voice—including your kids’—is heard as you clarify and celebrate your unique family strengths. Notable Quotes & Moments “When you know who you are, you’ll know what to do.” – Derek England “Our family didn’t start with us, and it won’t end with our kids.” – Derek England “Where there is a lack of vision, the people perish… Where there’s a lack of vision for your family, it won’t thrive.” – Catherine Anecdotes That Hit Home Catherine shares how her daughter discovered a laser-focus and passion in Civil Air Patrol after struggling with direction—a real-life testimony to the power of clarifying vision. Families are reminded that it’s never too late, quoting: “The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago. The second best time is today.” Why This Conversation Is Essential for Christian Parents In an era of fractured schedules and constant distractions, this episode equips parents to reclaim the sacred calling of the family—to be the primary place of discipleship, love, and generational impact. Whether your home feels harmonious, focused, or a work in progress, you’ll come away with both hope and practical tools to lead your family with vision and unity. About the Guest:Derek England serves as Executive Director of Family ID, a ministry devoted to helping families worldwide build intentional and faith-filled homes. With over two decades of expertise—and his own journey transformed through the Family ID process—he’s passionate about helping parents move from reaction to intentionality.

Show NotesLearn More about The Emerging Leaders LabCoastline ChurchThe Pastorate ConferenceThe Pastorate's City MeetupsThe Pastorate Pastors RetreatEpisode NotesOn today's episode Jordan sits down with Laura Liira, campus pastor of Coastline Church West Shore on Vancouver Island and participant in the 2025-2026 class of The Emerging Leaders Lab. Laura was born in Victoria into a nominal Catholic home, and was reintroduced to Christianity though her teenage years. During a gap year in London England, she encountered Jesus in a new way and committed to serve him for the rest of her life. Laura's story is one marked by saying yes to whatever service opportunity was in front of her. She talks honestly about God-given dreams and the time they take to mature, and the journey from church intern to Campus Pastor. In the back half of the conversation Laura and Jordan turn to her year in the Emerging Leaders Lab, where she was the only woman in a cohort of male pastors with Keith Taylor as her guide. Laura reflects on how that band of brothers received her, prayed over her, and still meets together in a monthly rhythm. She reflects on women in ministry across the Canadian church landscape, the grit of pastoring a mobile church that sets up and tears down a middle school gym every Sunday, and she shares about what is filling her with hope right now. In this episode you'll hear:How a gap year in London, meant for partying, became the year Laura met Jesus,How saying yes to the next thing in front of you is a simple act of obedience that can open doors to opportunity, The dreams she buried with her husband and how God dug them up in his own timing,Being the only woman in a cohort of male pastors, and the "red rose" word that welcomed her in,The unique challenges of a mobile church, Why the fire she sees in young people across Canada has her so full of hope.Laura's story is a reminder that the most formative work in ministry rarely happens on a stage, but that it often happens in obedient acts of showing up and saying yes to what's in front of you. We trust this conversation will encourage you right where you are.PartnersWe couldn't do the work we do at The Pastorate without your generous support. We invite you to pray, share, and ⁠give⁠ towards seeding a hope-filled future for the Canadian church.Contact John Wright at Generis for help cultivating a culture of generosity in your church.

The Church is the body of Christ, made up of many diverse parts working together under the direction of the Head—Jesus Himself. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains that every believer has a God-given role, and every local church must be built upon Christ to be effective for His Kingdom. The problem comes when members of the body neglect their gifts or covet the gifts of others. Paul rebuked the Corinthians for forgetting that God Himself places each part in the body exactly as He desires. When believers refuse to use their gifts, they are resisting the Lord's wise purpose for their lives. Dr. Youssef reminds us that some of the most history-shaping servants of God are virtually unknown. The people who taught, prayed, gave, discipled, and supported behind the scenes may never have become famous, but their faithfulness helped advance the Gospel through figures like Martin Luther, D. L. Moody, and William Carey. No gift is too small, too hidden, or too ordinary when it is surrendered to Christ. God has a plan and purpose for you in His Church—for your good and for His glory. Let us pray.  Precious Lord, use me for Your Kingdom in the body of believers. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

On this episode of the In the Room Podcast, Naomi, Jonah, and Logan discuss Pastor Troy's message in a series about being a blessing to others, emphasizing that God's yoke is easy and His burden is light because He carries our burdens with community. The group reflects on Genesis 12 and Abraham's call to be a blessing for future generations, then explores stewardship through personal examples: leading youth ministry, being intentional at work, managing finances, and valuing “behind-the-scenes” administrative gifts. They talk about not comparing gifts, cultivating what God has entrusted, and being faithful in small details, including health and phone use. The conversation highlights living as an example, reacting with Christlike selflessness, and how a church serves its community through God's mission, changed lives, and outreach.

Lex Renick of Revive Traveling Ministry shares her story of living about 14 years as a transgender man, her radical encounter of God's love through a church that love well while upholding God's design truth for sexuality and marriage, and her transforming back to who God called her to be.   The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support.

This week, I'm flying solo but bringing you nuggets of wisdom fresh from a recent conference that really made me pause and reflect. Have you ever stopped to consider how those heavy or discouraging thoughts you have might just be limiting beliefs—or even lies? I dive into why that simple idea struck me so profoundly and how it connects to stories and struggles we've talked about before.At the heart of this episode, I revisit the parable of the talents, this time through a more personal lens. What if it's not just about using our gifts, but about how we view ourselves and our willingness to be visible? I share candid thoughts about how fear of being seen—or worry about what others think—can keep us hiding our abilities, both in business and in faith.If you've ever felt held back by self-doubt or the feeling that you're just not "good enough," this one's especially for you. What limiting beliefs might be souring your life, and are you ready to challenge them? Join me as we explore how changing our mindset can open up both spiritual and personal growth. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Leadership conversations are rarely about the words alone. Sometimes a team member says everything is fine, yet something still feels unsettled. Other times a conversation seems clear on the surface, but deeper tension remains beneath it. One of the most important leadership skills you can develop is the ability to listen beyond the surface. In this episode, we explore how leaders can learn to listen more like Jesus — paying attention not only to what people say, but also to the deeper concerns, emotions, and challenges that may remain unspoken.   In This Episode We discuss: • Why people often say less than they truly feel in workplace conversations • How leaders can recognise subtle signals that something deeper may be happening • The role of thoughtful questions in uncovering hidden concerns • Why listening well strengthens trust and leadership influence • What Scripture teaches us about listening with wisdom and compassion You will also learn how slowing down conversations and asking better questions can reveal insights that help you lead your team more effectively.   Prepare for the Difficult Conversation You've Been Avoiding If you've been sensing that a conversation on your team needs to happen but you're unsure how to approach it, the Confident Conversation Sprint will help you prepare for it step by step.

Join us as we celebrate the dedication of students and educators striving to develop their God-given talents for His glory.

We have all known the frustration of staring at a blank page, a problem with no obvious solution, or a situation that demands fresh thinking we simply do not have. Creative blocks are not reserved for artists — they show up in the middle of ordinary life, when we need to find a new way to connect with someone we love, navigate a conflict at work, or simply figure out what to make for dinner. And in those moments, most of us never think to do the one thing that would help most: ask God. James 1:5 holds a promise that is far more practical than we often give it credit for. God gives wisdom generously, without finding fault, to anyone who asks — and that wisdom is not limited to the grand decisions of life. It is the creative spark for the everyday problems, the nudge toward a perspective we had not considered, the quiet settling of a stressed mind that finally allows a new idea to surface. The God who designed the fractal pattern of a snowflake and the complex rhythm of the human heart is the same God who is eager to collaborate with you in the ordinary moments of your day. He does not think your problems are too small to warrant His attention. What matters to you, matters to Him. So the next time you feel creatively stuck, you don't have to stay there. Your Master Creator is ready to pour out exactly what you need — all you have to do is ask. Interested in creating something new with us!? Take Our Newsletter Survey! Today's Bible Verse: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." — James 1:5, NIV Ponder Today God is the Master Creator — the same God who designed every intricate detail of the natural world is eager to share His creative wisdom with us in the ordinary problems of daily life. Creativity is not limited to artists — every person uses God-given creativity every single day, from solving problems at work to navigating difficult conversations with grace. James 1:5 is a guarantee, not a suggestion — God promises to give wisdom generously and without fault-finding to anyone who asks, which means we never have to stay stuck alone. God's answers to our creative prayers don't always come dramatically — sometimes He answers through a gentle nudge, a fresh perspective, or a quiet peace that allows a new idea to finally surface. Our daily tasks are opportunities to collaborate with God — when we invite Him into our thinking, even the most mundane problems become moments of partnership with the Creator of the universe. Today's Prayer Dear God, I have reached the end of my own ideas, and I am so grateful that Your wisdom never runs out. Please give me a fresh spark of creativity for the situations I am facing today — my projects, my conversations, my problems, and more. Clear away the fog of stress and open my eyes to possibilities and solutions I have not yet noticed. Thank You for being a God who gives generously and never judges me for needing Your help. I am looking and listening for Your creative ideas today, trusting that You will give me exactly what I need. Thank You, God. Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer?

Send us Fan Mail~ What's the right timing for your dream?There's a question I hear all the time, especially from women who already have a full life:Is this the right time to pursue my dream?Maybe you've asked it too. You're already juggling a lot. You have people you're caring for. And yet, somewhere in the middle of all of it, there's this quiet idea, this pull you can't quite shake.But instead of moving forward, you keep circling the same thought. Maybe later. Maybe when things calm down. Maybe when I have more time.In this episode, I want to gently challenge those thoughts. Because sometimes what looks like a timing issue is actually something deeper. Fear. Overcommitment. Or uncertainty about what God is asking of you right now.IF YOU'VE EVER WONDERED IF IT'S THE RIGHT TIME TO PURSUE YOUR GOD-SHAPED DREAM, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU.I walk through three common mistakes we make when we think about timing and how those thoughts can quietly keep you stuck longer than you realize.You'll also learn how to begin discerning your next step with God, without waiting for a perfectly clear path.In this episode I talk about:Why “I can always do this later” might not be as safe as it sounds How being busy can mask a deeper question about obedience Questions to help you discern if fear or calling is driving your hesitation There's nothing wrong with wanting to be wise about your time. Scripture reminds us to number our days and live with intention. But wisdom doesn't mean waiting forever. Sometimes it means asking a better question.Not “Is this the right time?” but “God, what are You inviting me to say yes to right now?”If you're craving space to process that question with other women who are walking a similar road, I'd love to invite you into Dream Believers. It's a place where you can get out of your head, hear from the Lord, and take your next step alongside women who understand what it feels like to hold both faith and a dream at the same time.Join us here: merrittonsa.com/dreambelieversYou don't have to figure this out alone.And you don't have to wait for someday to begin.Sign up for Dream Believers.

Comparison has a subtle way of creeping into our thoughts. It doesn’t always shout—it whispers. It tells us we’re not enough, not as gifted, not as impactful, not as worthy. And before we realize it, those quiet thoughts begin to hold us back from stepping into what God is calling us to do. In John 21:21-22, Peter asks Jesus about someone else’s path, and Jesus responds simply: “What is that to you? You must follow me.” It’s a powerful reminder that our calling is not meant to be measured against someone else’s. God never intended for us to live looking side to side. Comparison distracts us from the unique work He has placed in front of us. When we fix our eyes on others—their gifts, their success, their lives—we lose sight of our own purpose. The truth is, God created each of us with intention. Every personality trait, every strength, every limitation, and every circumstance has been carefully designed. Your life is not an accident. Your calling is not generic. It is deeply personal. But comparison makes us question that truth. It convinces us that what we have isn’t enough. That someone else could do it better. That our contribution doesn’t matter. And in doing so, it keeps us from showing up at all. Yet God doesn’t measure impact the way we do. We often look for big, visible outcomes. But God works in ways that are often quiet, personal, and deeply significant. The small act of obedience, the encouraging word, the simple act of faithfulness—these can have eternal impact in ways we may never fully see. When we compare, we put God in a box, assuming He can only work through certain people or in certain ways. But God’s power is not limited. He uses each of us uniquely, reaching people and places that only we can. There is freedom in releasing comparison. Freedom to trust that God knew exactly what He was doing when He created you. Freedom to walk confidently in your calling without needing to measure up to anyone else. Freedom to follow Jesus fully, without distraction. Your role is not to replicate someone else’s life—it’s to faithfully live the one God has given you. Main Takeaways Comparison distracts us from our God-given purpose. God created each person uniquely and intentionally. Our calling is not meant to be measured against others. Small acts of obedience can have significant impact. True freedom comes from focusing on following Jesus, not others. Today’s Bible Verse When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” (John 21:21-22) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Lord, help me release comparison and walk confidently in the calling You’ve given me.” Listen to the full prayer here.
