Podcasts about god learning

One of the clearest ways to grow in our knowledge of God is to understand what He loves and what He hates. In Proverbs 6:12-19, Scripture reveals seven things that are detestable to the Lord, not because God is harsh, but because each one stands in opposition to His holy character. This message examines God's response to pride, lying, violence, wicked intentions, a passion for sin, false witness, and sowing discord. As we explore these truths, we also discover the beautiful qualities God loves: humility, truth, life, goodness, holiness, honesty, and peace. The more we know God's heart, the more our hearts are transformed to reflect His. Join us as we learn what God hates, what He loves, and how growing in the knowledge of His character leads us to live lives that honor Him.

What does it mean to truly experience God in everyday life? In this episode of Upon Further Review, Cody and Dr. John Hall discuss Field Street Baptist Church's upcoming church-wide study through Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and why they believe this emphasis could deeply impact the life of the church.The conversation explores the heart behind the study: knowing God more deeply, learning to recognize where He is already at work, and adjusting our lives to join Him in what He is doing. Along the way, they discuss worship, obedience, prayer, spiritual maturity, and how God speaks to His people through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, prayer, the church, and wise counsel.They also explain how the study will function through Bible Fellowship classes this summer and why daily engagement with God's Word is essential for spiritual growth. Whether you're participating in the study at Field Street or simply curious about what it means to follow God faithfully, this episode offers a helpful introduction to the themes and goals behind Experiencing God.[3:18] Knowing God deeply and learning to join Him where He is already at work[7:56] Why the study requires discipline, daily engagement, and a God-centered perspective[12:00] Worship, obedience, and the “crisis of belief”[13:18] How Bible Fellowship classes will guide and reinforce the study together[18:58] The prayer for deeper spiritual maturity, unity, and devotion to prayer[25:21] Learning how God speaks through Scripture, prayer, the church, the Holy Spirit, and wise counsel

In this compelling message, Pastor Will Ford explores what it truly means to connect with God through learning, drawing from Matthew 11 and 1 Samuel 22. He unpacks the biblical depth of knowledge and learning, revealing that true learning is not mere intellectualism, it is experiential, relational intimacy with God. Pastor Will challenges believers to move beyond accumulating information and to pursue the kind of knowing that transforms the heart and connects us deeply to our Rabbi, Jesus. Pastor Will warns that every person is yoked to something, whether to Christ, to religion, or to the ways of the world, and that yoke will disciple and shape every area of life. He calls the church to get so close to Jesus that they are covered in His dust, absorbing His teachings, His way of life, and His truth in every sphere of influence. This message challenges believers to embrace their cave seasons, because like David and his mighty men in the cave of Adullam, it is in the hidden place of learning and encounter with God that broken, distressed, and bitter people are transformed into mighty warriors. Your cave is not a place of defeat, it is a cocoon where God is preparing you for everything He has called you to do. The vision of Mercy Culture is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. At Mercy Culture, one of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. Each week, you will hear a teaching from our Lead Pastors, Les and Nikki Cody or another leader in our community. To learn more about Mercy Culture, visit https://mercyculturewaco.com

Pastor Clay unpacks what it truly means to connect with God through learning—not by gaining information, but by becoming a disciple of Jesus. He challenges us to examine what we are yoked to and calls us to repentance, reminding us that real transformation happens when we walk with Jesus, not just learn about Him.

Together, they discuss what it looks like to delight in Scripture, to be shaped by it daily, and to build a life that is steady, fruitful, and grounded in truth. This conversation challenges listeners to reflect on their own rhythms and direction, asking the question: are you being shaped by the world around you, or by the Word within you?CrossPoint is one church in many places, seeking to reach our communities with the true hope and freedom found in Christ.

Send us Fan MailThere are moments in life when we are standing at the edge of something impossible.And in Scripture, we see this twice—once at the Red Sea, and once at the Jordan River.Both times, God made a way.Both times, His people walked on dry ground.But the way He moved was completely different.At the Red Sea, God moved before they did. He made a way where there was none.But at the Jordan River, God asked them to step first— into uncertain, overflowing waters— before the miracle came.And I believe this speaks directly to the seasons we walk through today.Sometimes God clears the path so clearly, we can't miss it.And other times… He invites us into a deeper kind of faith—the kind that requires a step before we see.I share how this has been unfolding even in my own life—through something as unexpected as learning to play golf,and how small adjustments, a teachable heart, and simple obediencecan open the door to growth we didn't even realize we needed.Maybe you're in a Red Sea season.Or maybe you're standing at the edge of a Jordan River moment.Either way, God is still speaking.He is still moving.And He is still making a way.Listen to this week's episode of Small Beginnings with Sara and be encouraged to trust Him— whether He's parting the waters ahead of you… or inviting you to step in first.

In this message, Ps. Seth Morrow explains that connecting with God through learning is when God teaches you new revelation you didn't know before. All revelation must be supported by the Word of God, or else it becomes manipulation. We must be ones who know the Word of God so we don't fall into the false doctrines all around us—and so we don't become spiritually gullible.

When you think about God, what comes to mind? A distant judge? A cosmic boss? Or a compassionate Father who longs to be with you?   In this message, Pastor David opens our new series on prayer by showing how Jesus invites us not into performance—but into presence. Through the aching words of the disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray,” we discover that prayer isn't a skill to master—it's a relationship to practice.  

Continuing the Hearing God series, Pastor Les Cody teaches that when we learn to love God's word, we will hear His voice, walk in wisdom, and silence the accuser. Listen along as he unapologetically declares the power, inerrancy, and wisdom of the Bible. Just as Jesus had the Word as His weapon in Matthew 4, we too can combat the enemy when we hold fast to the Word! The vision of Mercy Culture Church is to take people from corporate encounters with God to daily personal encounters with God. One of our unique characteristics is that we are a presence driven church. We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God.

The Power of Rest: Unlearning the belief that our value is tied to our productivity and embracing the truth that rest is vital. The Power of Prayer: Leaning into prayer as a foundation for spiritual renewal.

In this final episode of the mini-series on forgotten doctrines of spiritual formation, Kyle explores the doctrine of sanctification. He highlights that while sanctification is not forgotten in the same way as the previous “forgotten doctrines,” it is often misunderstood and not properly grounded in scripture. Kyle emphasizes that sanctification is not a self-help project, but a work of God in us. He discusses the distinction between definitive sanctification and progressive sanctification, and the importance of ordering our understanding of salvation around Christ. Kyle also addresses the misconception that sanctification is solely about growth and emphasizes the need for a proper theology of holiness.Books Mentioned: Don Payne, Already SanctifiedKyle Strobel, Jonathan Edwards's Theology: A ReinterpretationKyle Strobel, Formed for the Glory of God: Learning from the Spiritual Practices of Jonathan EdwardsChapters00:00 Introduction to the Doctrine of Sanctification06:23 Taking Sanctification for Granted08:22 Reducing the Gospel to Justification13:16 Definitive Sanctification vs. Progressive Sanctification18:02 Sanctification as a Degreed Property20:38 The Importance of a Theology of Holiness22:36 Ordering Sanctification Around Christ26:28 Walking by Faith, Not by Sight29:16 Next Season: Spiritual Formation and the Church Get full access to Kyle's Formation Substack at kylestrobel.substack.com/subscribe

In this conversation, Kyle discusses the concept of the sanctification gap and its implications for the Christian life. Looking at Richard Lovelace's account and well as John Coe's development, Kyle attends to how we can utilize this category fruitfully in our own formation. Kyle emphasizes the importance of drawing near to God in the reality of who we are, rather than turning to oneself as a way to generate or mimic an ideal. He encourages a holistic approach to spiritual theology that incorporates insights from the broader Christian tradition.00:00 Introduction and Background05:21 The Rich Tradition of Spiritual Theology07:20 The Experiential Gap and the Importance of Drawing Near09:45 The Role of Spiritual Theology in the Christian Life14:01 Embracing the Wisdom of the Christian Tradition16:34 Moving from an Idealistic to an Evangelical Approach21:48 Recognizing Our Need for Forgiveness24:22 Navigating the Sanctification Gap in PrayerResources mentioned: Richard Lovelace, Dynamics of Spiritual Life: An Evangelical Theology of Renewal.John Coe, “Spiritual Theology: A Theological-Experiential Methodology for Bridging the Sanctification Gap” in The Journal of Spiritual Formation & Soul Care 2:1 (2009).Kyle Strobel, Formed for the Glory of God: Learning from the Spiritual Practices of Jonathan Edwards.

In the journey of faith, there are moments when we may find ourselves grappling with the disconcerting feeling that God is not being obedient to our wishes or desires, seemingly unresponsive to our earnest prayers. In these challenging moments, doubt and uncertainty can cast shadows upon our faith, leaving us questioning our beliefs and relationship with the Divine. However, during these moments of spiritual disquiet, we are invited to embark on a profound exploration of our faith, seeking deeper insights and understanding of God's mysterious ways.  It is through navigating these difficult passages that we may ultimately discover the profound lessons of patience, trust, and humility, unraveling the true essence of our relationship with the Divine and finding solace in the wisdom of surrendering to a greater plan beyond our comprehension. In this episode of The His and Her Money Show, we are joined by Albert Tate, the founding and lead pastor of Fellowship Church in Los Angeles County, California, to talk about his latest book: Disobedient God. Pastor Albert shares his motivation behind writing the book: Disobedient God, how he bounced back from the disappointment of what God chose to do, ways to assess our relationship with god, and learning to be patient with God during the hard times. He also talks about the importance of acknowledging our pain and disappointments when Disobedient God shows up and how we can build a strong relationship with God during tough times.

The unknown is so difficult for our human capacity lol We want to know what is coming. We want to plan and have a plan of attack for all the variables. Especially as mothers we want to be prepared so that our kids and families are safe. When we keep all our ducks in a row it makes us feel safe and in control. Which is a facade right? Like, deep down we know we aren't in control. Which I think makes us hold tighter to what wehave instead of leaning into our creator and trusting that no matter what HE has it all figured out. He's got it. And He is ultimately the only one who is FULLY trustworthy! Psalm 18:30As for God, His way is blameless;The word of the Lord is tried;He is a shield to all who take refuge in HimHow do we trust and surrender?1) Acknowledge He is Sovereign and we need Jesus!2) Release the fear and control3)Build intimate relationship with Him4)Embrace obedienceI understand that this doesn't come naturally so we need to makeSurrendering and trusting  a daily practice. Giving Him your dreams and goals, releasing your family, kids, marriage to Him on the daily. Speaking out over and over “I trust you God” Declaring scripture to reinforce these beliefs in your mind, heart and soul so that you can come in alignment with God's will for your life!Psalm 37:5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God.

As parents, we have the incredible responsibility of teaching our children about God. It's one of the most important things we can do for them. But it's not always easy. We may not know where to start or how to make it interesting for our kids. In this episode, we'll discuss the importance of teaching your kids who God is and what He has done. We'll look at the story of Judges 2 to see how God's people forgot Him and suffered the consequences. And, we will reflect on our own lives to remember stories of what God has done for us so we can share it with our children. Love: Reflect on what God has done for you: today, this past week, the last month, last year, and each decade. Teach: Teach your kids stories and how to recognize God in their own stories. Play: Have fun with telling God stories. Turn your hallway into a God history museum exhibit. You've got the Holy Spirit! You can do it, mama!

What exactly is contemplation and contemplative prayer? Is it new age nonsense or does it lie at the very heart of the Christian life? And if it's the latter, how exactly does the average Joe "do" it?!  In this episode Brandon interviews Dr. Kyle Strobel from Biola's Talbot School of Theology. Dr. Strobel brings an amazing wealth of knowledge about the history of contemplation in the Christian tradition and especially in the protestant tradition.  This is the third of a series of conversations on the topic of contemplation with experts and practitioners from across the Christian and religious spectrum. Here's a list books that were mentioned on the show.

During one of the darkest times in Israel's history, when God's people had forgotten about the God who had rescued them over and over, He sent a “mother in Israel” to rescue them again. Not only did she rescue, she also sang a song that modeled to them then and to us now, one of the primary secrets to staying close to our God: Learning to Sing at the well.

Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young is an author and speaker who is passionate about helping people discover God's glory in unexpected places. But in the midst of the Pandemic with her family's long-awaited travel plans delayed and then cancelled, Dorina found herself struggling to see glory in the continued quarantine life.  With a long winter break and nothing to look forward to, Dorina processed her disappointment with her husband Shawn and her three daughters. Shawn suggested bringing Hawaii home by having a luau and ordering in Hawaiin food and it sparked the idea of Global Glory Chasers, a cultural exploration program for families.  Dorina and I talk about doing deep dives into the food and culture of international communities and how helping our kids engage with other races and nationalities gives them a global perspective on the glory of God “Learning about cultures is actually an invitation for us to learn more about God's glory and how he has made each one of us into his image bearers.  We can't understand God, unless we're willing to listen to stories of people from different backgrounds. So we like to say we're breaking barriers by breaking bread at home and by eating the foods of the different cultures.” Connect with Dorina:  Website: dorinagilmore.com  Facebook: facebook.com/DorinaLazoGilmore  Instagram: @dorinagilmore  Links Mentioned:   Global Glory Chasers Membership BOOK: Glory Chasers: Discovering God's Glory in Unexpected Places Ep 282 Many Hues, One Humanity :: Dr. Lucretia Berry
