Podcasts about god really

Friend, have you ever felt like you had to earn God's love?Like if you prayed more, performed better, got your act together, or stopped struggling, then maybe God would finally be pleased with you?This week's conversation on the Anchored by the Sword Podcast is a powerful reminder that God's love was never something you had to earn in the first place.I sat down with Jazmine Davis, founder of SWAT HQ Ministries, evangelist, podcast host of God Really Likes You, and a woman whose story is filled with the transforming grace of God.Jasmine shares her incredible testimony of encountering Jesus at age 33 after spending years writing bestselling books that pulled her further away from God. What began as her self-declared “Jesus Year” became a life-changing encounter with the love of Christ that completely redirected her future.Together, we talk about freedom from condemnation, breaking free from works-based Christianity, healing from trauma, understanding our identity in Christ, and learning to approach God as beloved children rather than exhausted performers.One of the most powerful truths from our conversation is this:You are not fighting for God's approval.You are living from it.If you've ever struggled with shame, fear, anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling like you're never doing enough for God, this episode will remind you that Jesus already finished the work.Bio:Jazmine Davis is a faith-driven leader, speaker, and the founder of SWAT Ministries (Spirit's Watchmen and Trailblazers), a ministry dedicated to helping women break free from guilt, shame, and condemnation, and step into the radical love of God they were never told was theirs.Jazmine's story is one of redemption. After growing up in church and Christian school, she walked through her own prodigal season, wandering far from the Father's house and becoming a bestselling romance and erotica writer for nearly a decade. But God never stopped loving her. And when He gently called her home, she discovered the heartbeat of everything she does today: God still loves you. Yes, even there. Yes, even now.Today she hosts the God Really Likes You podcast, leads weekly Bible studies, and curates Wander and Vow, luxury retreats designed to immerse women in truth, beauty, and the unhurried presence of God. She is a graduate of CORE College in the Ministry of Healing and Deliverance, a Certified Crisis Counselor, a Certified Evangelist, and holds a B.A. in Broadcast Journalism from Oakwood University.When she's not ministering, Jazmine is a wife and mother who loves a good book, a hiking trail, and her next trip with her family. She lives by Proverbs 31:25, "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." About SWAT HQ MinistriesSWAT HQ Ministries is a search-and-rescue ministry helping believers move from condemnation, guilt, fear, and shame into secure attachment with the Father and freedom through Jesus Christ.Anchor Verses:Hebrews 10:14Proverbs 31:25Joshua 1:8Connect with Jasmine Davis and SWAT HQ Ministries:Website: swathq.coPodcast: God Really Likes YouFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581052922177IG: https://www.instagram.com/jazz_with_swat Upcoming Online EventI Am FastBegins June 17Theme: “I Am God's Child”Helping believers exchange labels, wounds, and trauma-based identities for God's truth about who they are.***We love hearing from you!

This week we step into the Garden of Eden as we continue our first video series from Tyndale House, Cambridge, exploring Genesis (The Creation Story).Though this series is also available on podcast platforms, it is designed to be watched, with visual explanations that complement the text well. Episode 4 examines the dramatic opening verses of Genesis 3:1–8 — the moment the serpent speaks, Eve responds, and humanity steps across a threshold that changes everything. These verses have shaped centuries of theology, interpretation, and debate, and we explore why they remain so significant today. In this episode, we take a research‑rich, accessible journey through some of the most searched issues surrounding the fall narrative:How does the serpent subtly twist God's generosity, and what does the Hebrew reveal about his strategyHow do Genesis 1, 2, and 3 interlock linguistically and structurally, despite claims of multiple authorsWhat exactly, if anything, did Eve hear in Genesis chapter 2, and how does that shape her response in Genesis chapter 3?What does it mean to “be like God, knowing good and evil,” and how does this relate to the innocence of Genesis 2Where do we see both judgement and grace woven through God's words in Genesis 3:14–19What hidden numerical patterns in the Hebrew text reveal the psychological and literary brilliance of the chapterPerfect for viewers searching for Genesis commentary, Bible study videos, the Fall of humanity explained, Old Testament background, Hebrew narrative analysis, and how Genesis 1–3 fits together.Whether you're exploring scripture for the first time or diving deeper into familiar passages, this episode offers a thoughtful, engaging look at one of the most pivotal moments in the biblical story — a narrative that explains the world we live in today while displaying remarkable literary depth.This episode is hosted by Dr Peter Williams, Principal of Tyndale House, Cambridge, and author of Can We Trust the Gospels? and The Surprising Genius of Jesus. He is joined by Dr J Caleb Howard and Dr James Bejon, who both work on the Old Testament Names Project at Tyndale House.Come back in two weeks as we continue our deep dive into Genesis chapter 4.Support the showEdited by Tyndale House Music – Acoustic Happy Background used with a standard license from Adobe Stock.Follow us on: X | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

If you've ever felt too broken, too far gone, too ashamed, or too forgotten by God — this message is for you. In this powerful sermon on John 3:16, we unpack the truth about God's love for people who struggle with doubt, pain, rejection, addiction, failure, and fear.

This episode of The Bible Explained delves into the often uncomfortable topic of God's discipline, exploring how it's a sign of his love and care for us. God's discipline is not something to be despised, but rather something to be understood and appreciated. God's discipline can be a catalyst for growth and transformation. God's discipline is not meant to be enjoyable in the moment, but it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. The importance of approaching trials with a spirit of prayer and support. If you're struggling through a difficult time or wondering why God seems to be absent, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the discipline of God and how it can be a source of strength and hope.

Is God angry? Distant? Waiting to punish you the next time you fail? Most people believe some version of that. But the Bible tells a completely different story. And the clues are hiding in plain sight.

Is God unjust? Did He make a mistake with you? Does He actually love you? This week we finish the questions Romans 9 forces us to wrestle with — and the answers are better than we might expect. You are not an accident. You are not forgotten. You are His workmanship, chosen to be His people. But Romans 9 ends with one final question that cuts deepest of all: are you trusting in Christ, or in yourself? Jesus is either the cornerstone you build your life on, or the stone you trip over. No one stays neutral.

God Called Him a Warrior While He Was Hiding | The Story of Gideon Have you ever looked at your past mistakes, your failures, your insecurities — and wondered how God could ever use someone like you? Girl, you are not alone. And you're not the first. In this episode, Coach Jamie walks through the story of Gideon — a scared, insecure nobody that God called a mighty warrior — and what that means for YOU today. In this episode: Welcome to the UncommonTEEN Podcast Gideon's story — and why it's yours too What happens when we try to do life our own way Why God chose the least likely person for the biggest mission How Gideon grew his faith one small step at a time (and how you can too) 300 men vs. 135,000 — what God can do with what little you have 4 truths to come back to when the enemy says you're not enough

When life is hard and things don't make sense, the questions surface fast—is God unjust? Did He make a mistake with me? Does He actually love me? This week we sit with some of the most challenging verses in Romans and work through three of the hardest questions we ask about God. The answer Paul keeps coming back to isn't a formula or a quick fix—it's the character of God Himself. He is not unjust. He is not arbitrary. He is rich in mercy, and His steadfast love never ceases.

Does God Really Know Me?

Talk from Richard Godden on May 31, 2026

Trevor draws some powerful conclusions about the unchangeability of God.

ScripturePaul, an emissary of Jesus the Anointed commissioned by order of God our Savior and Jesus the Anointed, our living and certain hope), to you, Timothy, my true son in the faith. Here's a statement worthy of trust: Jesus the Anointed, the Liberating King, came into the world to save sinners, and I am the worst of them all. 1 Timothy 1:1-1, 15 (The Voice)The GistIn Part Three of this series, we discuss the gap between how we see ourselves and how God sees us. We take a look at:How we see ourselves and why we see ourselves that wayHow God sees us and whyWhy our hearts resist what God speaks over us and What closing the gap between the two actually looks like in our daily lives. The gap isn't between who we really are and who we should be - The gap is between our filtered self-perception and His unfiltered eternal knowledge of us. Digging DeeperWhose voice first told me I was less than? How old was I - and am I still living under that assessment as though it were authoritative?When I picture myself, what do I see first - my failures and limitations, or the image of God in which I was made? What does that tell me about whose mirror I am standing in front of most often?God names Gideon "mighty warrior" before Gideon had done a single brave thing. What might God be naming in me that I have not yet grown into, and am I resisting that name?The gap often closes not in a moment of revelation, but in a long practice of returning - returning to truth when the old voices speak. What anchors, practices, or words from Scripture could become my returning places when the gap widens again?

ScriptureBut this beautiful treasure is contained in us—cracked pots made of earth and clay—so that the transcendent character of this power will be clearly seen as coming from God and not from us. 2 Corinthians 4:7 (The Voice)The GistIn Part Two of this series, we dive into one of the most spiritually sophisticated heart blocks/traps there is: unworthiness mistaken as humility. True humility says: "I am not the source."Unworthiness disguised as humility says: "I should not be here at all/"We discuss: why it's difficult to catch, the fears and obstacles that hide underneath it, and what God is actually looking for when it comes to humility and us trusting Him to work in our weakness and insecurities. Digging DeeperWhen I say "I'm not worthy of this," am I expressing genuine dependence on God - or am I protecting myself from the risk of stepping forward?Am I confusing the feeling of inadequacy with a word from God? Who told me I was too small for this?If a beloved friend looked at me in the eyes and said, "I trust you with this," would I argue with them or receive it? Why do I argue with God?There is a difference between "God loves me anyway" and "God trusts me with this." Which is harder to hold? What does that reveal?

Today’s Bible Verse: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” — Isaiah 30:21 (NIV) Isaiah 30:21 offers a comforting promise for anyone seeking clarity, wisdom, or direction from God. In a world filled with distractions, competing opinions, and uncertainty, this verse reminds us that God still guides His people. He does not leave us wandering without help—His voice leads us step by step. Want to listen without ads?

[Today I'm resharing a message that I believe women may deeply need in this season.]

Do you really believe that God loves you?   Not just the world. Not just the Church. You.   In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer reminds us of Jesus' words:   “The Father himself loves you.”   God sees: ➡️ your heart ➡️ your wounds ➡️ your struggles ➡️ your fears ➡️ your shame   And He still loves you completely.   Right now.   You are not forgotten. You are not invisible. You are not alone.   Jesus says:   “Remain in my love.”   Today, take a moment to slow down and receive that truth:   God loves you personally and deeply.   Happy Easter.   #RiseUp #Catholic #Faith #GodLovesYou #Prayer #Hope #Jesus #Easter

In this episode, Dr. Nathan Jacobs explores one of the most famous questions in philosophy and theology: If God is all-powerful, are there limits to what He can do? Can God create a rock so heavy that even He cannot lift it? Dr. Jacobs unpacks the classical Christian understanding of omnipotence, logic, and contradiction — drawing from thinkers like Plato, Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, and the early Church Fathers.Please support the East West series: http://theeastwestseries.com/Do you like this content?

ScriptureBrothers and sisters, in light of all I have shared with you about God's mercies, I urge you to offer your bodies as a living and holy sacrifice to God, a sacred offering that brings Him pleasure; this is your reasonable, essential worship. 2 Do not allow this world to mold you in its own image. Instead, be transformed from the inside out by renewing your mind. As a result, you will be able to discern what God wills and whatever God finds good, pleasing, and complete.Paul urges those who read and hear his letter to respond to the good news by offering their bodies—eyes, ears, mouths, hands, feet—to God as a “living sacrifice.” Paul knows well enough that sacrifices end in death, not life. But the sacrifice of Jesus changes everything. His resurrection steals life from death and makes it possible for those who trust in Him to become a sacrifice and yet live. But how do we live? We do not live as before, wrapping ourselves in the world and its bankrupt values. We live in constant renewal and transformation of our minds.3 Because of the grace allotted to me, I can respectfully tell you not to think of yourselves as being more important than you are; devote your minds to sound judgment since God has assigned to each of us a measure of faith. Romans 12:1-3 (The Voice)The GistAllison drops a doozy of a question on us from her scripture meditation. Is it easier for you to believe in God's love for you than the trust/faith He has in you?  God's Love for you - is something you receive that flows to us and costs nothing but surrender. God's trust/faith in you - this means God looks at us, fully knowing us - and says, "I'm sending her." It requires us to agree with His assessment of what He's placed inside us. Heart Blocks to trusting in His love and trust: Unworthiness mistaken for identity, fear of visibility, past experiences used against us for future promises, and the gap between how we see ourselves and how God sees us. Digging DeeperUnworthiness as identity — Where have I mistaken the feeling of unworthiness for the truth of who I am, and what would shift in me if I agreed with God's assessment instead of my own?Fear of visibility — What part of being “seen” feels unsafe to me, and how might God be inviting me to trust that His gaze is protective rather than exposing?Past experiences as barriers — Which past experiences am I still allowing to predict my future with God, and what would it look like to let His promises speak louder than my memories?Gap between God's view and mine — Where do I most resist believing what God says about me, and what fear sits underneath that resistance?Agreeing with His sending — If God looks at me fully and says, “I'm sending her,” what keeps me from saying yes to His confidence in me?

Does prayer actually change anything—or are we just talking into the void? In this episode of Talk'N Truth, Bryan Clark, Dan Whitney (aka Larry the Cable Guy), and Braden Pedersen take on one of the most personal and challenging questions in the Christian life: if God is truly sovereign, does prayer really move His hand? Drawing from Acts 12, where Peter is miraculously freed from jail, the conversation centers on the tension every believer eventually faces—why does God seem to answer some prayers and not others? Rather than offering easy answers, the group leans into the complexity, exploring what Scripture reveals and what still remains a mystery. Bryan brings a pastoral and deeply personal perspective, grounding the discussion in biblical truth while sharing how his own experiences have shaped a lifelong struggle with prayer. Dan and Braden add a candid, relatable lens—wrestling openly with doubt, expectations, and the challenge of continuing to pray when outcomes don't make sense. At the heart of the episode is a simple but difficult idea: faith isn't always about understanding—it's about choosing to believe. Even when prayers go unanswered. Even when the outcome isn't what we hoped. Even when it's hard to keep going. If you've ever struggled to pray, questioned whether it matters, or felt the weight of unanswered prayers, this honest and thoughtful conversation will meet you right where you are—and remind you that you're not alone in the tension.

What if “fear of the Lord” isn't about fear—but awe and connection? This changes everything.Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, Father Matlak guides you in prayer and shares a brief reflection and a thorough examination of conscience providing you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. Join us each day in your inbox https://www.goodcatholic.com/nightprayer________________

What does God actually say about food — and does it matter what's on your plate as a Christian? In this foundational episode, we're going into what Scripture reveals about stewardship of the body, why your physical health is a spiritual matter, and how honoring God's design for food is an act of worship and obedience. This is part one of a two-part series. Be sure to follow up with episode 117. In this episode: Why stewardship extends far beyond finances — and reaches into your health and your plate What Ephesians 2:10 reveals about your identity, purpose, and the body God gave you The parable of the talents and what it means to steward (or bury) your health Your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit — and the practical weight of that truth How modern food has drifted from God's original design and what that means for your health The connection between what you consume and your energy, emotions, and capacity to serve Old Testament foundations — from Passover to Leviticus — that point to God's intentional design for food Scriptures Referenced: Colossians 1:16 · Ephesians 2:10 · Matthew 25:14–30 · Galatians 2:20 · Ephesians 5:8 · Psalm 107 · 2 Corinthians 5:1 · 1 Corinthians 6:19 · Exodus 12 · Genesis 3:21 Episodes Mentioned: Episode 1 — Welcome to Style and Stewardship Episode 2 — The Call to Stewardship Episode 117 — Part 2 If this episode is stirring something in you and you're ready to stop surviving your days and start stewarding your health on purpose — I'd love to connect.

Who is God, really? Maybe you've been taught that God's love has to be earned. Maybe striving to be “good enough” has left you feeling exhausted and hopeless. Maybe God has been presented as distant, critical, or waiting for you to mess up. Or maybe your past relationships have made it hard to believe that God could be any different. If that's where you are, this episode is for you.

Senior Pastor Nick Sandefur

In this episode of the pod, we sit down with Pastor John Padula, Outreach Pastor at The Altar Church in Coeur d'Alene, for a real and hope‑filled conversation about how Jesus changes lives. John shares his personal story—where he came from, how he encountered Christ, and what led him into a life of ministry and outreach. Along the way, they talk about faith, recovery, discipleship, and why following Jesus isn't about having it all together, but about being honest, dependent, and transformed over time. Whether you're curious about faith, walking through your own struggles, or simply wanting to hear what authentic Christianity looks like lived out, this conversation offers clarity, encouragement, and hope.Be Bold For Jesus Conference 2026 ✝️https://bebold4jesus.org/spokane/✌️ Stay Connected with Be Bold For Jesus ✌️https://bebold4jesus.orgInstagram: @bebold4jesusministries

 When you pray, does God check the caller ID?  Does your prayer seem to go to voicemail?  Do your texts get read or even opened?  When you pray, are you reminded you're loved?  Do you remember He's there and He listens?  During prayer, do you realize God likes to hear your voice?  Did you ever try to hug God as you prayed?  If you're tired of buying into prayer's all about quantity and not at all about intimacy or urgency, then connect today with Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they talk about connecting with the God who created prayer just so He could be with you. 

What kind of Savior does it take to truly rescue us? In this message, Pastor Ike Miller unpacks why Jesus must be both fully God and fully human. Discover how Jesus stands as the only bridge that truly connects us to God, offering both real hope and real healing for every broken place in our lives.

It's the question most people are actually asking underneath everything else. If God is real and He actually loves you, why did He let that happen? Why didn't He show up? This week, Josiah sits with that question and doesn't try to explain it away.Instead he walks through a story where Jesus shows up four days too late, a grieving woman says exactly what she's thinking, and God does something nobody expected. It's not a tidy answer. But it might change what you think God actually feels about your pain.

Do you ever wonder if God is really listening when you pray? Why does prayer sometimes feel like talking into silence? And what does Jesus actually teach us about approaching God? In today's episode, Jeff shares how Luke 11:1–13 shows that God is not distant or indifferent, but a Father who invites us to ask, seek, and knock with confidence. Read the Bible with us in 2026!

Do you know God as a loving dad? One who always wants to see you, always wants to hear from you, and always wants to be with you? If you answered no, you're not alone. For a myriad of reasons, many of us struggle to relate to Him as father, but He's still waiting for you with open arms. His love for us is secure, unmoving and forever, light years better than even the best dad we can imagine. In this message, Francis shares the unique blessing God has for each one of us as His sons and daughters, the boldness with which we can come to Him for grace, and the genuine delight He takes in our every step toward Him. When we show up to His throne room with expectation, we can find mercy, rest in His unearned but ever-present love, encounter His tender affection for us, and be filled with the security of knowing He is for us.

When Satan determined to devastate God's good creation he didn't use a nuclear weapon, he told a lie.
