Five minutes can reset an entire day when truth meets melody. We dive into the Scripture woven through Shane & Shane's “You Said I Am,” unpacking the seven “I Am” statements of Jesus and how each one meets a real human need: hunger for purpose, longing for guidance, desire for safety, ache for care, and the fear of death. From Bread of Life to Light of the World, from the Gate to the Good Shepherd, and the triumphant promise of Resurrection and Life, we connect lyrics to the Gospel of John and trace their roots back to the burning bush, where God first named Himself “I Am.”If you're craving a grounded start to your morning, this is a gentle, content-rich guide. Hear how Scripture shapes a clear, hopeful frame for the day, then stay for the closing clip and link to the full track.

God Says: Get These 6 People Out of Your Life — NOWWhat if the guilt you feel about setting boundaries isn't from God at all? Many believers stay trapped in relationships God never asked them to carry, believing discomfort automatically equals obedience. Scripture tells a very different story.In this episode, we walk through six types of people the Bible explicitly warns us to avoid, why ignoring these warnings slowly erodes your peace and discernment, and how to know when God is truly saying, “Let go.” Using 2 Timothy 3:1–5, we break these warnings into three clear categories—the self-centered, the relationally destructive, and the spiritually counterfeit—so you can recognize danger without fear, guilt, or self-justification.This isn't about cutting people off out of pain or bitterness. It's about obedience, clarity, and protecting what God entrusted to you. When Scripture settles the question, guilt loses its power.
Incidents in the lives of David and Jeroboam show that God sometimes uses prophets to bring our sins to light. It takes courage and loyalty for a prophet to speak an unpopular truth. Both kings had tried to cover up their sins, but it is impossible to hide our sins from God. God wants us to come to Him and be honest.

Stop waiting for the perfect moment. In this How to Win episode, we're talking about what it looks like to put your faith into action right now. Whether it's starting a project, rebuilding confidence, or trusting God with a new direction, these simple steps can help you move forward with courage.
In 2 Samuel 7:1–29, David has a good idea. He wants to build a house for God. After all, he is living in a palace while the ark of the covenant rests in a tent. It seems honorable, spiritual, and even obvious. But God says no. Instead of allowing David to build Him a house, God makes a covenant with David and promises to build him a house, a dynasty that will last forever. This chapter marks a turning point in redemptive history and ultimately points to Jesus, the true and eternal King who would come from David's line. In this episode, Pastor David Maestas explores: Why good intentions are not always God's assignment How to respond when God redirects your plans The difference between ambition and obedience What the Davidic covenant reveals about God's faithfulness How 2 Samuel 7 ultimately points to Christ If you're in a season where God has closed a door, delayed a dream, or redirected your path, this chapter reminds us that His "no" is often protecting a bigger "yes." God's promises are not dependent on your performance. They are rooted in His covenant faithfulness. Listen in as Pastor David Maestas unpacks how to trust God's timing, surrender your plans, and rest in the reality that He is building something greater than you can see.

Ever feel like you just can't take any more? ✋ Maybe you're in what we call the "Practical Wilderness." You've burned the plow, you're trying to follow God, but everything feels bone-dry. The car breaks, the kids are struggling, and the "rain" just isn't falling. This week, we're learning from the Prophet Elisha that only God can send the water, but sometimes He asks YOU to dig the ditch. Faith doesn't deny that the ground is dry; faith decides to believe what God SAYS over what you SEE. If you're waiting on a "Suddenly" from God, it's time to grab your shovel and start worshiping in the middle of your desert!
In this episode, Nancy Wilson reflects on what to do when God says no to our prayers or plans, urging us to imitate Christ’s surrender to the Father’s will, to trust that God’s grace is sufficient for us, and to find comfort in His strength made perfect in our weakness.

A no doesn't have to be a dead end to our faith. As painful and challenging as no's can be, they can also serve as a gift to us. In this message, we explore how.
Bottom line, don't test God … don't test God … unless … unless … God says, “Test me.” Which God does … only once in the Bible. It's wrong to test God, but it's equally wrong to disobey God if he tells us, explicitly, “Test me.” … Let me show you.

Getting a no is difficult. It's made exponentially harder when it seems like everyone else around us is getting a yes. But there is a way to find purpose in our pain and stay the course, even when it feels like God says no.

What God Says About You Matters More Than What Others Think Or Say The opinions of others or the dark thoughts in our minds may not necessarily reflect the opinions of the one who created you.

Week 2 in the Book of John!
What do you do when God's answer to your prayers is "no"? In today's podcast, Ginny Reed, who shared at a live gathering in Memphis, Tennessee, invites us into her journey of walking through seasons of unanswered prayers. With honesty and vulnerability, Ginny reflects on the anger and bitterness she carried for years, the work of repentance and surrender God gently led her through, and the freedom that came from trusting His heart more than her hopes. Her story is a powerful reminder that God's plans are always better, His wisdom is infinite, and even His "no" is an invitation to deeper faith and trust. VERSE OF THE WEEK: "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Cor 12:9 CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK: Is there any area of your life where you are harboring anger or bitterness towards God because he has said no to you? Can you sit in repentance, ask for forgiveness and trust His plan? ___________________________________________________________ "Even If" by Mercy Me "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake Listen to a similar story: Ep. 126- Alana Dawson: "Now Do I Have Your Attention?"
