In this 50th episode of Faith Talks, Anna Faith and her husband discuss the surprising connection between faith and fear. Looking at Proverbs 1, they explain that a growing faith must be rooted in the fear of the Lord, not a terrified fear, but a reverent awe, honor, and trust in God. They especially apply this truth to a young person's relationship with their parents. Proverbs teaches that one of the clearest ways to demonstrate the fear of the Lord is by hearing the instruction of your father and not forsaking the law of your mother. True faith is not merely spoken; it shows up in humble, practical obedience at home. Topics Discussed The connection between faith and the fear of the Lord Why Proverbs is especially written with young people in mind Proverbs 1:7 as the foundation for wisdom and knowledge The difference between sinful fear and reverent fear How honoring parents reflects a right relationship with God Why obedience and respect are spiritually beautiful The importance of building a godly track record before marriage Trusting God to work through the authorities He has placed in your life Taking action when God is working in your heart Key Takeaways A growing faith must be rooted in the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is not panic or terror, but reverence, awe, honor, and trust. Proverbs teaches young people how to live wisely and make choices that lead to blessing. One clear evidence of fearing God is responding rightly to your parents. Honoring your parents is not just a family issue; it is a faith issue. A respectful, teachable spirit is beautiful and attractive in God's sight. For young ladies preparing for the future, following and honoring their father now helps prepare them for godly marriage later.

A Growing Faith2nd Thessalonians 1:1-5Paul must write again to the Thessalonians. Since sending his first letter, he has received further reports about the local church at Thessalonica. It came with good news and bad. The good news was that the congregation there were continuing to grow in their faith and trust in God and in their love for Him and for one another, a cause for thanksgiving indeed. But there was a downside to the life of the church. There was cause for concern as far as doctrine and the Christian Life – the behaviour of the local saints, was concerned. This related to two particular issues:-The doctrine of the Lord's return and the end times. The importance of working for one's living. Listen and learn together.Read the NOTES HERE.

Kyle, and side kick Josiah Rios, interview author and Children's Pastor Hunter Williams about the importance of teaching theology to children. They discuss the book Hunter co-authored titled How to Teach Kids Theology: Deep Truths for Growing Faith. Hunter offers encouragement for youth leaders and volunteers who want to teach theological truths but feel ill-equipped.

We want to teach children biblical truths in language that they understand, but there are times where we also want them to be blown away by how big God really is even if they Won't fully grasp it. Hunter also emphasizes creating a pathway in your church to accomplish the ministry and discipleship goals that you set.

In a world where certainty, hot takes, and strong opinions dominate, what if curiosity and humility were actually the more faithful way of following Jesus?

You’ll learn: Why being teachable is central to spiritual formation. How to learn from unlikely voices—children, strangers, enemies, and even the dead. Practices for slowing down and resisting the culture of distraction and quick answers. How curiosity creates deeper wisdom, peace, and more gracious leadership. Guest Bio:A. J.

What is the speed of trust? It's an odd question, since rapid acceleration and safe, human connection seem antithetical—moving in opposite directions. And there's the point—and the reason we don't attempt lasting friendships while driving Formula 1 cars, in the backstretch of an 800-meter race, or while racing each other to the top of the corporate ladder. Speed implies competition, a desire to be better than the other. Trust cannot rush, for it unfolds only when our usual pride and combativeness have been set aside. The God who inhabits a universe where stars collide and light itself moves at more than 670,000,000 miles per hour sent His Son to a tiny planet. He came to walk long, winding roads with us, start conversations in homes and at wells, and play with children. “Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being” (Phil 2:6-7). There is no hurrying the pace of trust, and trust is the Father's fondest hope for us. “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Eph.2.8). When we trust His grace, we give ourselves to the One who has loved us through all eternity. Now stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Still thinking about Sunday? Same. Because when faith is tested, God shows up—and shows off. It was our first Sunday in the gym for Slam Dunk Summer, and it wasn't just a change in location—it was a move of God. Powerful worship, a packed house, and a message from Pastor Rodney that stirred hearts and stretched faith. Have you ever asked, “Do I have the faith to get through what I'm going through?” You're not alone. From Luke 17:5 & Genesis 22, we were reminded that God increases our faith through two things: His Word and life's tests. Abraham passed the test. And when it felt like the dream was too big, the wait too long, the resources too scarce, and life too hard—God provided. Faith doesn't grow in comfort—it's developed in the dark room. And here's the good news: God's not done growing your faith. #rethinklifechurch #TheWinningFamily #GoodNews #Bible #godsword #godisgood #lakenona #stcloud #orlando #2025sermon #onlinechurch #rodneygage #michellegage #Jesus #Church #Hope #HolySpirit #learnhow #pastor #sermon #inspiringmessages #wisdom Thank you RTL Fam for your generosity!
