Striking the right balance between disciplining our children and following the biblical command not to provoke them to anger can be a challenge. In episode seven of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff identifies ten practical ways to avoid provoking our children to anger—by being consistent, attentive, fair, and gentle, and by steering clear of neglect, harshness, humiliation, favoritism, and unreasonable discipline.These principles reflect God's character and the authority He gives to parents—not to tear children down, but to build them up. The Bible provides a clear plan, showing that parents have about twenty years to guide their children through three stages: training (ages 0–10, focused on obedience), teaching (ages 10–20, focused on honor), and transition (around age 20, when children move from parental authority to God's). God's heart for parenting is rooted in love—raising children who are Godly Warriors, equipped to fulfill their God-given destiny.

What does it actually mean to live The Impossible Life? In this episode, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface break down the vision behind the podcast and the deeper meaning of living a life that looks “impossible” to the world but is fully possible with God.You'll hear the origin story of the podcast, why “possible” became the foundation, and how the Impossible Life isn't about self-help—it's about full surrender, biblical transformation, and becoming a living demonstration of what Christianity actually looks like in real life.Garrett and Nick unpack 5 core pillars of the Impossible Life: submission to God, wanting greatness (God's definition), identity, belief, and principles—and how each one builds a man who is resilient, disciplined, purpose-driven, and fully aligned with God's plan.

Romans 10:9-10 — In this sermon on Romans 10:9–10 titled “Saving Faith,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones gives a roadmap through the Christian life as they experience God. Encountering God means that salvation is not only an intellectual decision or that God can be made known through reasonable thinking. Scripture demands that the Christian have faith in God and a faith that includes all of their being. But how can one possess such faith when they are full of fear and doubt? It is hard enough for a person to keep small commitments to themselves. Dr. Lloyd-Jones shows that it is precisely through encountering God that the Christian is given this faith by Him. God initiates this relationship that leads to Godly sorrow over sin, turning from them and putting faith in Jesus Christ. These are the very beginning steps in the Christian life and without them, one cannot be called a Christian. If one has been convicted of their sins, repented, changed their thoughts about God, and grieved over their sinfulness, they have shown the true marks of one who has encountered God and believed in the Lord Jesus Christ.

In our world today, there are primarily two points of view, sometimes known by "liberal" versus "conservative" or "Godly wisdom" versus "Worldly Wisdom." As a result, there is a conflict of visions between many people today. This difference in how we view the world has unfortunately led to a noticeable increase in violence, and hateful rhetoric towards Christians. In todays episode, we will discuss: The difference between liberal and conservative worldviews Two kinds of wisdom Subverting God's wisdom What should Christians do? biblequestions.org

Do you discipline your children in love or anger? What if everything we've been told about loving our children has been backwards? In episode six of “Raising Godly Warriors,” Duane Sheriff teaches discipline from a biblical perspective. Disciplining children is not an act of hate but an expression of God's kind of love. Withholding discipline does not protect children—it leaves them unprepared for life's boundaries and consequences.Duane draws parallels between God's discipline of His children and a parent's responsibility to correct their own. Rooted in the wisdom of Proverbs, this teaching shows how proper correction—combined with reproof—drives foolishness from a child's heart, teaches early consequences, builds resistance to temptation, and cultivates humility. The way we discipline today may shape not only our children's future, but their eternal destiny.

In this session, Dr. Greg Stiekes delivers a thoughtful and challenging message that calls believers to examine how the Word of Christ must shape and govern the life of the church as a corporate body. Drawing attention to the responsibility of the gathered people of God, Dr. Stiekes presses beyond individual devotion and highlights the necessity of shared submission to Scripture in our worship, ministry, and life together.This excerpt serves as a timely reminder that true worship is not driven by preference, personality, or performance, but by a collective commitment to conform every aspect of church life to the authority of Christ's Word.

What if the way our culture approaches dating is actually undermining our children's future? Recreational dating contradicts biblical principles and can lead to lasting emotional, spiritual, and relational harm. In episode five of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff identifies eight pitfalls of recreational dating, including the loss of parental covering, compromised sexual purity, emotional instability from repeated attachments and breakups, spiritual drift, deception, premature physical intimacy, and risks to future marital fulfillment.Parents are challenged to reconsider their role in guiding their children through one of life's most important decisions. Are we allowing cultural pressure to shape our parenting while warning our children not to do the same? This is not about control or fear, but wisdom, protection, and love. By presenting biblically grounded alternatives to recreational dating, this message calls parents to re-engage with purpose—helping guard their children's hearts, preserve their spiritual integrity, and prepare them for lifelong, godly relationships.

Welcome to the Podcast of Southwest Bible Fellowship in Tempe, Arizona. WHO ARE WE? • We are a group of people who are committed to living the grace life as set forth by the apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. • We come together to study our Bibles, and yes, we believe we have God's perfect Word in the King James Bible. It and it alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice! • We do not come together and study our Bibles for the intent of being smarter than others. We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:1-6; 16-18“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.2 “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.5 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. ...16 “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17 But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Many adults struggle today because they were never taught the six foundational components needed to navigate life well and build healthy, lasting relationships. In episode four of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff outlines six critical truths every parent must impart so that no child leaves home without them: understanding the Golden Rule, knowing God's love, developing personal faith, establishing healthy self-esteem, valuing the church community, and receiving the blessing of their parents. These essentials form the spiritual and relational framework children need to thrive. It's not just about raising well-behaved kids who turn into functional adults - it's about shaping warriors who know their sacred worth, walk confidently with God, and stand strong in a world that has lost its moral compass.

As You Live on Earth, God Has Work for You; You Are to “Live in Christ” So that Others See Jesus in Your Life MESSAGE SUMMARY: As a Jesus Follower, God Expects You to Both Work for Kingdom and Witness for the Gospel. Also, as a Jesus Follower, you are to live in Christ and to let others see Jesus in your life. If you are to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for you – God has work for you; God's work for you is real work. The spiritual life is work – it is fruitful labor. Also, Godly conduct is a necessity to live in Christ as we are instructed in Philippians 1:27: “Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ . . .”. Not only does God have a work for you, but you, also, have a witness for Him through your actions, words, and your attitudes. Your actions, words, and attitudes constantly reflect who and what God is in your life. Paul admonishes us, in Galatians 6:2,9-10a to follow the law of Christ and to do good and live a moral life: “Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ . . . And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone.”. Also, Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12, succinctly presents what it means for a Jesus Follower “to live in Christ”: “To be a witness, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. For you know how, like a father with his children, we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.". Are you following Jesus so that you are living in Christ and letting others see Jesus in your life?   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.        Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.                   TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will think like Jesus (Philippians 2:5f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Galatians 5:18-26; 1 Peter 1:15-19; 1 Thessalonians 2:10-12; Psalms 37d:21-40. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

Parenting is not merely about surviving each day—it's about preparing our children for all the relationships they will encounter throughout their lives. In episode three of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff outlines three fundamental principles known as the three R's: Rules, Restraints, and Relationships. The first R, Rules, reminds us that authority structures exist everywhere in life, from school to work to marriage, and children must learn to respect authority to prosper. The second R, Restraints, teaches us about boundaries and consequences—the biblical principle of sowing and reaping found in Galatians 6. Our children must learn that actions have consequences, that delayed gratification builds character, and that love itself constrains us from harming others. The third R, Relationships, reminds us that rules and restraints without relationship leads to rebellion. Everything parents do should be rooted in connection, spending time together, and maintaining open hearts even during correction. When we understand that all of parenting is ultimately about preparing our children for a relationship with God and healthy relationships with others, everything changes.

One of the ways the Kingdom of God is advanced on earth as it is in heaven is when men embrace and model what it means to be men. Today, our nation is more confused and lost than ever before when it comes to masculinity and true manhood. What we need is for men to return to what the Bible says it means to be men. This alone will bring a great revival and restoration to our world. Strong, compassionate, wise, men will help advance God's will on earth as it is in heaven. Join us as we continue to look at the foundations of biblical manhood.

In episode two of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff teaches a biblical approach to parenting through the metaphor of an arrow in Psalm 127. There are three stages of a child's development: the feathers (ages 0-10), where we train through repetition and protection, the shaft (ages 10-20), where we teach, shape character, and strengthen identity; and the tip (age 20 and beyond), where we launch them toward their God-given target.Scripture teaches that the biblical age of accountability begins at 20, not 18. In Numbers 14, God held those 20 years old and older accountable for Israel's rebellion, while those younger were still considered under parental covering. This is more than historical detail—it's a spiritual warfare blueprint. Releasing our children prematurely can expose them to battles they are not yet equipped to fight, emphasizing the parental responsibility to protect, train, and prepare them until they can stand as warriors in their own right.

Pastor Sam Fleurry teaches “1 Is the Loneliest Number” as part of the Rhythms series, calling the church back to the spiritual rhythm of community. From Mark 2:1–12, he shows how godly community carries us to Jesus, covers our needs, cultivates our faith, and celebrates God's healing work. This message challenges isolation and individualism, emphasizing that accountability and connection are essential for spiritual growth and lasting transformation.Click here to view the episode transcript.

In a culture that's confused about what manhood means, Scripture gives us a clear and uncompromising vision: true masculinity is not about bravado or dominance—it's about responsibility, sacrifice, courage, and conviction. In this episode, I walk through 12 essential ways to stand up like a man, rooted in the life of Christ and the example of biblical leaders. From rejecting passivity to embracing spiritual discipline, this is a call for men to rise—not in pride, but in purpose. Whether you're a father, son, pastor, or young leader—this message is for every man who wants to walk in maturity and lead with integrity in a world that desperately needs it.

Season 4 Episode 02 Topic: Master Of It All Adonai means “Master” or “Lord,” but not in a way that diminishes us—rather, it frees us. In this episode, we'll look at the moments in Scripture where God's people had to decide whether to trust His leadership or cling to control. We'll discuss why surrender is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines and how living under God's Lordship brings clarity, direction, and peace. You'll discover how acknowledging God as Adonai reshapes not just your obedience, but your identity.

Talent can impress people, but character shapes environments. This devotional comes from the perspective of a longtime worship leader who has seen firsthand how a person’s humility, integrity, and teachability can either strengthen a team—or quietly unravel it. Skill may draw attention, but when pride, dishonesty, or unrepentant sin is present beneath the surface, it eventually spills out into relationships, unity, and even the spiritual atmosphere of a church community. The reminder is clear: talent is never a substitute for godly character. And this isn’t just a message for worship teams. It applies to every part of life where we influence others—at work, at home, in friendships, and in everyday choices that seem small but matter deeply. How we handle integrity in the “little things” (like being on time, returning a shopping cart, resisting gossip, or refusing “white lies”) reveals what’s happening in the heart. These moments don’t just reflect on us; they reflect on the One we represent. The devotional ties this to the biblical call to be ambassadors for Christ. An ambassador doesn’t represent themselves—they represent their kingdom. In the same way, believers carry the privilege and responsibility of representing God’s character wherever we go. That means our words, attitudes, actions, and even our work ethic become part of our witness. Colossians 3:23 offers a practical lens for daily living: do everything with wholehearted effort as if you’re doing it for the Lord. When we live that way, our character becomes a quiet invitation—drawing others toward Jesus through consistency, kindness, humility, and truth. Today is an opportunity to pause and ask: Does my life represent God well? And when God highlights areas for growth, we can respond with repentance and dependence on His grace—trusting Him to shape us into people whose lives point others toward Christ. Main Takeaways Talent can impress, but character impacts people and environments in lasting ways. Integrity in small choices reveals what’s happening in the heart and shapes our witness. Christians are called to be ambassadors, representing God’s kingdom everywhere we go. Colossians 3:23 encourages us to work and live wholeheartedly as if serving the Lord. Godly character can draw others toward Christ through humility, consistency, and love. Today’s Bible Verse Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. – Colossians 3:23 Your Daily Prayer Here is a brief excerpt from today’s prayer: “Highlight areas where I need to improve… Let my heart and actions align with your will.” You can listen to the full prayer here or read the devotional at the links below.

GRIT: is the STRENGTH to GET UP one more time than you getKNOCKED down.This year, with God's help and the power of the Holy Spirit, I will develop GODLY GRIT. Most people give up when life gets HARD. I'm NOT most people. If I COMMIT, I won't QUIT.James 1:2–4 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.THREE PRINCIPLES FOR DEVELOPING GRIT1. Set your MINDSET.EVERYTHING worthwhile in life is UPHILL.John 16:33 I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.2. Surround yourself with the NO-QUIT TEAM.Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,Exodus 17:12 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset.Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.Romans 8:37   No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Genesis 50:20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.3. Run for something BIGGER than YOU.Acts 20:24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is tofinish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task oftestifying to the good news of God's grace.2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.If you're living for something this WORLD CAN GIVE you, you are not living the ASSIGNMENT GOD has for you.Romans 8:11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Many believers find themselves in an uncomfortable middle ground: not quite at home in the world, yet not fully experiencing all that God has for them either. This spiritual tension is real, and it's often rooted in one critical factor—the people we surround ourselves with. To truly be sharpened in our faith, God has given us a command, and there's only one way to follow it.

We all know what it's like to live with broken pieces—fractured relationships, wounded hearts, divided churches, and quiet struggles no one else sees. In this message from Philippians 2, we discover that not all glue is created equal. Elmer's glue may hold crafts together, but it won't restore what's truly broken. What we need is godly glue—the power of Jesus Christ to put our lives back together from the inside out.

 Most of the regret in our lives doesn't come from the last domino—it comes from the first one. It started with a decision that we didn't stop to examine. In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally teaches us to pause and ask, "Are you sure about that?" It's space between the dominoes that can stop the next one from falling. Lamentations 3:40 NLT Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.Most regret isn't from bad intentions—it's from unexamined decisions.1. What would I think about someone who made the choice that I'm about to make?We're really good at evaluating everyone else, yet God calls us to turn that discernment inward.1 Corinthians 11:31 NASB But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged.The Word of God is first a mirror to examine our own lives, not a microscope to inspect everyone else's. You can tell a lot about yourself by paying attention to who else is making the same choices that you are. 2. Have I gotten Godly advice?Proverbs 12:15 NLT Fools think their own way is right, but the wise listen to others.Proverbs 27:6 NLT Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.Godly wisdom always makes room for godly voices. And if everyone agrees with you, you didn't ask the right people.  3. Will I want to tell this story?Haggai 1:5 MSG Take a good, hard look at your life. Think it over.Some choices create stories you hide; others create stories you cherish. You don't write your life story all at once. You write it choice by choice.  4. Do I really want to do this, or is this what others want me to do?Some of the most dangerous decisions happen when we confuse God's voice with other people's opinions.Romans 14:12 NLT "So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God."Other people can advise you, but only you will give account to God for your decisions. Make sure its what you really want to do. 5. Will this glorify God?Every decision reflects your devotion.Matthew 5:16 NLT In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Your choices don't just reveal what you value, they reveal who you worship. Before a surgeon ever makes the first incision, the entire operating room pauses for what's called a surgical time-out. Everything stops and the surgeon asks a series of critical questions. If anything is unclear, the surgery doesn't proceed—because once the cutting starts, you can't undo it.The more important the mission, the more intentional the questions. God often speaks loudest in the pause we're tempted to skip.Are you you sure about that?

The family is under spiritual attack, and a confused culture is redefining the identities of our children. The very foundations of home, marriage, and parenthood are being shaken—and the Church can no longer remain silent.In the new series "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff teaches that children are not accidents or burdens, but blessings—arrows in the hands of mighty warriors. Arrows must be shaped, trained, and aimed with purpose.God's Word makes it clear that raising godly children isn't something we learn on the fly - it's something we are taught and equipped for through the home and the Church. Learn how to partner with God to raise sons and daughters who know their identity in Christ and carry His truth into the world.

Getting Godly Powers

 I'm sure you've heard and seen the ongoing efforts of secular media and organizations to make sin not only acceptable, but celebrated.  It's just another sign that Jesus will be coming back soon! Until He does, it's our duty as believers to wade through the filth and lead Godly and moral lives, and to be a witness to the unsaved. We can do it!

Daily Dose of Hope January 16, 2026   Scripture: I Thessalonians 4   Prayer:  Almighty Father, Thank you for loving us despite our many faults.  Thank you for showing us a different way of doing life.  Help us seek holiness in all we do.  Help us become the people you desire us to be.  As we work through today's Scripture and devotional, I pray that you speak to our hearts.  Help us see things differently.  We want to hear from you.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that goes along with the New Hope Church daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently journeying through Paul's letters.  Right now, we are walking through I Thessalonians.   Today, we read I Thessalonians 4.  Possibly because they were experiencing so much persecution, the Thessalonians were very interested in knowing when Jesus' second coming would occur.  Paul tells them two things they needed to hear: their persecutors will be judged and in the meantime, living in faith, hope, and love, is the best way to prepare for the next step of their Christian journey.  Jesus will come suddenly, like a thief in the night.  But they have nothing to fear as God's children.  Those who reject the Gospel will face God's wrath but the believers will be protected and get to live with Jesus for eternity.   He reiterates what it means to live a Godly life.  He says to reject sexual immorality, and to seek holiness.  The idea of seeking holiness is deeply rooted in Scripture, including the command to be holy as God is holy (Lev. 19:2), Jesus' teachings to be perfect as our Father is perfect (Matt. 5:48), and the Great Commandment (Matt. 22:34-40).  John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, writes that holiness is not perfection or flawlessness but more a maturity of character and increasing love for God and others.  The Thessalonians were coming from a pagan culture that valued self over others.  Living holy lives would have truly set them apart from the culture around them.  People would notice.    The last part of the chapter is kind of interesting, regarding those who have already died.  Just like his talk of the second coming, this is purely pastoral encouragement for them.  Believers who have died in the Lord will be resurrected when Jesus returns.  They can trust in that.  Now, Jesus was pretty clear-no one knows the time he will come back, only the Father.  In Matthew 24:36, Jesus says, "However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows."  Despite this, people have tried making predictions for thousands of years.  I hear people today say, "Well, these must be end times because of this or that."  My personal opinion is that isn't for us to know or say.  Our responsibility is to take Paul's advice to the Thessalonians and live in faith, hope, and love, pointing others to Jesus and living like people with Good News.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that a Godly heart will be approachable. David was a man who enjoyed being himself among the people. There was no hypocrisy in him, having a sound mind, he was mindful of the things of God, and His power.

What if the key to peace isn't finding the fault in everyone—but putting them in the right box? In this episode, we unpack how godly boundaries, discernment, and seeing others through Christ's lens help you stay unbothered, protect your peace, and love people without unrealistic expectations. Learn how to stop tripping over relationships, recognize strengths instead of offenses, and let God be the box everything fits into.#PutThemInABox #BeUnbothered #GodlyBoundaries #ChristianPodcast #FaithAndGrowth #InnerPeace #HealthyRelationships #ChristianLiving #KingdomMindset #SpiritualMaturity #LetGodBeGodRomans 12:18 Ephesians 4:32Philippians 4:7Matthew 7:7,8Matthew 22:37–391 Corinthians 12:12–21Matthew 7:3–5Ecclesiastes 3:1Matthew 10:141 Samuel 8Proverbs 17:9TikTok: @CLWhiteside Instagram: @Championlife23
