1. You Are More Than What Afflicts YouJust like the man who said “I am Legion,” we often define ourselves by our struggles. But Jesus doesn't see us as problems to fix—He sees us as people to restore.2. We Are Spiritual Beings Having a Human ExperienceIn a world that often ignores the spiritual realm, Luke's Gospel reminds us that forces—good and bad—are real. What you allow to “possess” you shapes who you become.3. Possession by the Wrong Things is Loud, Lonely, and a Dead EndLike the man in the tombs, when we're controlled by pride, shame, addiction, or fear, we isolate ourselves and lose our true identity.4. Healing Begins When Jesus Asks, “What's Your Name?”Naming your pain and standing in the presence of Christ is where healing starts. It's how God begins restoring you to yourself.5. Church is Where We Come Up for AirLike whales needing breath, we need sacred moments to remember who we are and whose we are. Worship is our place to breathe deeply and reconnect with the Spirit.6. Grace Isn't Complete Until It Flows Through YouJesus sends the healed man back home, not to retreat, but to witness. Our healing and restoration are not the end—they are the beginning of a life lived for others.7. God Won't Let GoLike Disney's rule for character hugs, God never lets go first. When we run to God, we're held in a love that never leaves—even when we're sent back into the world.

When you get the keys to a car, you're not being given the keys so that you can show off your influence and authority to others! You're given those keys so that you can put the vehicle to use, to transport people or things where they need to go! Pastor Jeff teaches the importance of understanding that while Peter was given the “keys to the Kingdom” by Jesus, he wasn't being given a role of authority. Peter was being empowered to serve others, to meet them on their level and share the Gospel with them.

When Jesus encourages you to have endurance, He isn't trying to say that salvation is something you can just lose! Rather, the endurance that Jesus is talking about is the ability to withstand the world's trials. Pastor Jeff teaches you today that the world will try all kinds of deception and trickery to distract you from the path of righteousness. But as long as you keep your eyes on Jesus and on following the path He has set for your life, you'll be able to withstand the storms the world is throwing at you.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. And a big shout-out today to Michael Forte from Astoria, OR. Michael, thank you for being a part of this movement through Project23. You are making a difference for the Gospel. This one's for you. Today, we're looking at Mark 3:28-30: “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—for they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.” — Mark 3:28-30 This text contains one of the most sobering statements Jesus ever made. He begins with an incredible promise: “All sins will be forgiven… even blasphemies.” There's real hope in that. No sin is too big for God to redeem. No past is too messy. But it's followed by a serious warning: “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness.” So, what is this unforgivable sin? Understanding the context is key. The religious leaders were witnessing Jesus perform undeniable works of God—and claiming they came from Satan. They weren't confused. They were willfully rejecting the truth. They were crediting the Spirit's power to the enemy himself. That's not simple disbelief—it's deliberate rejection. Persistent hardness. A refusal to acknowledge the Spirit's witness about Jesus. This warning isn't for the tender believer who fears they've lost salvation. It's a line drawn for those whose hearts have completely closed themselves off to the truth—after seeing it clearly. The unforgivable sin isn't a moment of doubt—it's a life of denial. It's not a stumble—it's a hardened stand. So if you're worried you've committed the unforgivable sin—you haven't. That concern is evidence the Spirit is still working on your heart. But this is a warning worth heeding. We need to stay soft to the Spirit at all times. When He convicts—listen. When He draws—respond. Because the longer we resist, the easier it is to grow calloused. We all have the tendency to slide into judgmentalism and legalism—attitudes that resist the Spirit and reject the grace of the Father and the Son. So listen when the Spirit calls today. Don't harden your heart. Keep saying "yes" to the voice of God. ASK THIS: When has conviction prompted you to respond or resist? What attitudes or beliefs tend to harden your heart against the Spirit? How do you recognize the Spirit's gentle voice in your daily life? In what areas do you need to say yes to the Spirit's prompting? DO THIS: When the Spirit convicts you today, repent immediately to keep your heart soft. PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for forgiving every sin through Jesus. Keep my heart soft to the Spirit and help me say yes when he convicts me. Amen. PLAY THIS: Softly and Tenderly.

Dr. Scott McKee continues the "I Never Said That" series by challenging the common saying, "God won't give you more than you can handle." While often used to provide comfort, this phrase is not found in the Bible. Instead, scripture reveals that God allows people to face trials far beyond their own strength—so they will rely on Him. Drawing from Paul's letters and personal experiences, Pastor Scott reminds us that suffering is not always manageable, but it can always be meaningful. Through our deepest pain, God brings comfort and equips us to extend that same comfort to others. Watch this message to discover how God's presence sustains us in every trial.

This sounds reasonable, doesn't it? After all, to make such a statement seems to help out with the problem of evil that is so prevalent in our fallen world. If there is a God who is good and loving, can't He throttle back on the pain and suffering, especially in the lives of His children? As we examine this statement today, we need to make four critical adjustments to our thinking.I. A Misunderstood Verse (1 Corinthians 10:13)II. A Misguided StatementIII.

When you want pithy quotes, check out social media. When you want words of truth, look to the Bible. But be careful not to get those two mixed up.Some familiar sayings may sound like Bible verses, but they're really not. Today, we'll find out why so many old saws really don't cut wood."God Won't Give You More Than You Can Handle"Of all the Bible verses that aren't actually in the Bible, here's the most familiar one: “God won't give you more than you can handle.” This sounds great, especially if you're struggling with financial hardship. Unfortunately, it's not true. The fact is, life is always more than we can handle without God. After all, we need his help just to take our next breath!The idea that “God won't give you more than you can handle” is a misreading of 1 Corinthians 10:13, which actually says: “God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.”The good news is that God's faithfulness provides us a way to endure temptation…not necessarily avoid it."God Helps Those Who Help Themselves"Here's another popular quote. Maybe you heard your grandma say this when you refused to do your chores: "God helps those who help themselves.” Again, it might seem like something from the Bible, but it's not. It's the opposite of what God's word says, which is that our help comes from one place. Psalm 121:2 says: "My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” It's not “God plus me getting the job done.”God's help is never contingent on what you or I do. There's nothing we can do even to earn God's help. But, again, the good news from the Bible is that “…God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” God's help is always available, not because we do our chores, but because He loves us despite our brokenness."If God Closes a Door, He'll Open a Window"Have you ever been disappointed, and someone told you, “If God closes a door, He'll open a window”? Besides letting the bugs in, one way or another, what is that really saying? Does God always resolve your problems immediately? That's not always the case, is it? Sometimes, God closes a door, and we have to wait with the doors and the windows firmly shut. The Bible does promise that God will keep us headed in the right direction, when we follow him with all our heart. Psalm 32:8 says: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.”But the “way you should go” doesn't necessarily mean God will make an escape hatch when you don't seem to be making progress. You'll find that God often does some of His best work as you wait, teaching you to trust Him even more. Psalm 37:7 says: “Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.”"To Thine Own Self Be True"Our next quote is, “To thine own self be true.” That might sound like scripture, but it's really from Shakespeare's play, Hamlet… and as a piece of advice, it's downright unbiblical. “To thine own self be true” suggests that all you need for success is to follow your own instincts and desires. Unfortunately, it's our own instincts and desires that cause us to sin. Self-reliance is no substitute for reliance on Jesus. He is the source of truth and the only one we can truly rely on."Follow Your Heart"That brings me to the next common saying, another piece of unbiblical advice: “Follow your heart.” First of all, here's what Jeremiah 17:9 says about our hearts: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?”In light of that truth, following your heart seems like a really bad idea.Biblestudytools.com puts it this way: “God gives us passions and desires and uses our lives to prepare us for His purposes—just as He prepared David during his time as a shepherd, soldier, and court musician. But that only works if we completely surrender our lives to His leading.”"Let Go and Let God"The next “not-in-the-Bible” quote is, “Let go and let God.” The problem with this saying is that it might encourage a passive approach to problem-solving. While faith and trust in God are crucial, the Bible also teaches the importance of taking action and using the resources and wisdom God provides to address issues. As J. I. Packer once put it: “The Christian's motto should not be ‘Let go and let God' but ‘Trust God and get going.'”The bottom line is if you're a follower of Jesus, you can always trust his provision and rest in his peace, even in the middle of challenging circumstances. Don't be misled by popular sayings that sound biblical but aren't. Instead, dive into the actual Word of God, where you'll find the true wisdom and guidance you need for every aspect of life.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My financial advisor has me in something called "Guided Solutions," and I don't know anything about that. I was talking to him yesterday, and he said I've gained, but when I look at my portfolio summary, it shows I've gone from $500,000 down to $300,000 over the past year. I'm confused about what he's telling me, and I want to understand the performance of my investments over the long term.My husband and I have a long-term care insurance policy we've been paying into since our 50s. The insurance company is now offering us a paid-up policy for one and a half times what we've already paid into it, which would eliminate our monthly premiums. We have over $1 million in retirement savings and are doing well financially. I'm inclined to take the paid-up policy, but my husband is hesitant. I'd like your opinion on whether this is a good decision for us.Resources Mentioned:Rich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

When we're in pain or when tragedy has struck, it's natural to ask, "Why?" But, Pastor Mike warns, demanding an answer to that question can be dangerous. Because when we incorrectly answer it or insist on trying to find out why, it can all go wrong. Instead, reading through the book of Job, we discover two truths that help us when we don't know the why's. Part 2 of 2.** Program note: This is the radio edit of our program!
