Podcasts about Helper

Hey sweet mamas!

 Do you need the Holy Spirit? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally helps us understand that the Holy Spirit isn't optional in the Christian life—He's the source of it. Who Is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity. He is God. The Hebrew word Ruach and the Greek word Pneuma both mean "wind" or "breath." The Holy Spirit is a person—He feels, speaks, and can be hurt by how we live. Ephesians 4:30 (NLT): "Do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live." 1 Thessalonians 5:19 (ESV): "Do not quench the Spirit." You determine how much of the Spirit you experience. The Holy Spirit isn't a power you use—He's a person you know. What Is the Holy Spirit Like? The Holy Spirit isn't weird—people are. Like the wind, He is: Invisible. John 14:17 (NIV). You may not see Him, but you can see His results. Unpredictable. John 3:8 (NIV). You can't control or schedule Him—you can only make room for Him. What Does the Holy Spirit Do? He provides power. Acts 1:8 (NLT): "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you." He isn't an accessory; He's the power supply. He gives gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:4 (NLT): "...different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit is the source of them all." They're for showing love, not off. He cleanses us. 1 Corinthians 6:11 (NLT): "...you were cleansed... by the Spirit of our God." Jesus forgives sin; the Spirit fixes character. He teaches us. John 14:26 (ESV): "...the Helper... will teach you all things..." He turns Scripture from words you read into words you live. He guides us. Romans 8:14 (NLT): "...all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." He's your guide and guardrail—follow Him, and you won't lose your way. He helps us. John 14:16–17 (NIV): "...he will give you another advocate to help you..." When you can't, He can. He convicts us. John 16:8 (NLT): "He will convict the world of its sin." Conviction draws you to God. "It's God's job to judge, the Spirit's to convict, and ours to love." —Billy Graham He fellowships with us. 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NLT): "... the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." He wants relationship, not visitation rights. Closing At the source of the Nile, a hidden spring flows north, bringing life wherever it goes. When the Holy Spirit is your source, your life flows upward toward God. John 7:38–39 (NIV): "Rivers of living water will flow from within them... By this he meant the Spirit." Stay connected to the Source—and His life will flow through every part of yours. Is the Holy Spirit your source?

We will consider the role of The Spirit in our lives and ways this passage can serve as a guide for reflection on our discipleship. (Scripture: John 14:15-17)

John 16:7–15. Jesus promised that it was to our advantage that He would go so that the Holy Spirit could come and dwell within us. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that the Helper is not distant but deeply present. The same Spirit who revealed Christ to the world now reveals Christ in us. Convicting, guiding, and glorifying the Son through our lives. He doesn't simply inform us of truth; He forms us into it. When we feel weak, uncertain, or wordless, the Spirit intercedes, translating our groans into the language of heaven. The Spirit is not optional; He is essential. He is the presence of Jesus with us, and the power of Jesus in us.

This powerful message challenges us to examine the difference between seeking God as our 'help' versus treating Him as our 'helper.' Drawing from Psalm 118, we discover a profound paradox: while God is indeed our ultimate help—the all-powerful One who does what we cannot—He deliberately positions Himself as our helper, taking on the role of a servant. The sermon walks us through the last Hallelujah Psalm, where the psalmist declares 'The Lord is on my side as my helper,' and connects this to Jesus washing His disciples' feet—the ultimate act of humility. We're confronted with the uncomfortable truth that we often resist asking for help until we're completely desperate, yet God invites us to come to Him freely. The most transformative insight emerges when we realize that Jesus, by becoming our helper in the lowliest ways, actually becomes our greatest help. He doesn't just rescue us from impossible situations; He shows us how to live, how to love, and how to serve. This message calls us to embrace the uncomfortable position of being helpers ourselves—not because we have special expertise, but because we're willing to show up, hold the board, wash the feet, and be present with others. In doing so, we mirror the heart of God and discover that the most profound ministry often happens in the simplest acts of service. If you want help in starting this journey, please don't hesitate to reach out! If you want to talk to someone about going deeper in your faith or starting to walk with Jesus on a daily basis, please reach out to us at office@graceva.com

This Sunday, Pastor Daniel continued our Breath of God series with a message called “Never Alone.” In John 14–16, Jesus promises that after He leaves, the Holy Spirit will come to be our Helper, Advocate, and Friend. The Spirit doesn't just visit us—He lives within us, guiding us to think, feel, and live rightly. Sent ChurchWeAreSent.church

October 26 2025 Sunday Your Words Matter / Week 38 / T. Stacy Hayes #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior.

He entered into heaven itself to appear now before God on our behalf.” Hebrews 9:24 NLT “For Christ (the Messiah) has not entered into a sanctuary made with [human] hands, only a copy and pattern and type of the true one I'll, but [He has entered] into heaven itself, now to appear in the [very] presence of God on our behalf.” Hebrews 9:24 AMPC “so Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” Hebrews 9:28 KJV “so also Christ was offered once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me.” Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV “Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”” Hebrews 13:5-6 NLT “Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)!

Ephesians 4.30; 2 The greatest danger in a believer's life is carelessly tearing down what God is building up.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    The Divine Paraklētos We see the ultimate example of this concept in the Holy Spirit Himself. Jesus promised His disciples a (Paraklētos), often translated as the "Helper," "Advocate," or “Comforter"   What do you think encouragement is? A pat on the back, a “way to go buddy”.        -   Encouragement is generous. Acts 4:36,37 Barnabas “the encourager” sold a field and gave it to the church so that they could meet the needs of the poor.    Money is an amazing encourager!  Cancer, chemo…      -   Encouragement can be very prophetic in nature. Hear the still small voice. Speak it into someone and it waters that seed of faith.    "But the one who prophesies speaks to people for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort." (1 Corinthians 14:3, NIV)   Acts 13:41 Barnabas was called an encourager and a prophet.    THE TUSH PUSH - Center hikes the ball to the QB and everyone pushes him to the goal line!  MOMENTUM!  When we act as encouragers many times the Holy Spirit will come up in us and push us into a new realm when sharing! 

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    The Divine Paraklētos We see the ultimate example of this concept in the Holy Spirit Himself. Jesus promised His disciples a (Paraklētos), often translated as the "Helper," "Advocate," or "Comforter" (John 14:16). The Holy Spirit does not merely send good vibes; He is called alongside us, dwelling within us to provide constant strength, wisdom, and comfort.   Scriptural Example: Barnabas Barnabas, which means "Son of Encouragement" (Acts 4:36). How did Barnabas earn this title? He encouraged the unproven: When Saul (later Paul) converted and everyone was terrified of him, Barnabas called alongside him, vouched for him, and brought him into the community (Acts 9:27). Barnabas's endorsement was pivotal, enabling Saul to move freely among the believers and preach in Jerusalem's name (Acts 9:28). This event marked the beginning of a deep partnership between the two men, WHAT DO WE LEARN: ENCOURAGEMENT MUST BE BRAVE. Unflinching - stand face to face with the devils lies!      He encouraged the young and struggling: When the church needed leadership in Antioch, he encouraged the disciples there (Acts 11:23).   Alongside - Working at the YMCA in Dallas. Every Tuesday night they had weight watchers. The woman leading the group would always have a slide of herself 200 pounds heavier on the screen. One night I was at the side of the room grabbing chairs and I saw the most remarkable thing I had seen in a long time. Everyone had to get on a scale and weigh themselves. There was a woman there who was new, very very overweight. She had not stepped on a scale for years… the leader of the group had to come along side her, calm her down, walk her to the scale… help her on the scale and then calmly told the woman to look at the number… Look she said. Look at it hard… look again… now remember that number because you will never see that number again! Everyone clapped and yelled… the woman now crying tears of joy! And over the months you could see her losing the weight.

In our last talk, we explored a number of Spirit-Filled people in the Old Testament– guys like Joseph, Bezalel, Saul, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson… In today's Talk, we focus only on one Person—Jesus—and how He, too, was Spirit-Filled. So, the title of Talk 3 is Spirit-Filled Jesus. Wait a minute. Isn't Jesus God? Why would He need the Spirit? Yes, He is God. But Jesus is also fully human. He relied on the Spirit. You'll find the Spirit intertwined with the earthly life of Jesus, from beginning to end… One of the beautiful titles of the Holy Spirit is Helper. By calling the Spirit Helper, Jesus is perhaps telling us: The Spirit is what you need Him to be right now. He will meet you where you are. The key message of Talk 3 is: You need the Helper.

In this episode, I'm tackling one of the biggest fears holding therapists back from building sustainable online practices: the terror of being "too salesy."If you've ever frozen at the end of a webinar, mumbled through your offer, or avoided pitching your program altogether because you're worried about pressuring people who've already been through so much — this episode is for you.Here's the truth: Your fear of being salesy isn't actually about sales. It's about identity, worth, and deeply ingrained beliefs about what it means to be a "good" therapist. And until you unpack those beliefs and make some critical identity shifts, no amount of perfect pitch scripts or marketing tactics will make you feel comfortable making offers.So today, we're going deep. We're talking about the mistaken beliefs sabotaging your ability to serve, the five identity shifts that transform selling from a threat into an act of service, and the practical framework for making offers that feel aligned, authentic, and effective.Whether you're a therapist launching your first online program, a coach struggling to convert webinar attendees, or a clinician who knows you need to make offers but feels gross every time you try — this conversation will meet you right where you are.Here's what we cover in this episode:The mistaken beliefs keeping you stuck — including why you think making an offer equals manipulation (spoiler: it doesn't), why you're waiting for people to chase you down instead of leading them forward, and why you think talking about your program "takes away" from the value you're giving.The four identity shifts that change everything — from Healer to Guide, Helper to Advocate, Clinician to Creator, Transactional to Transformational, and Rule-Follower to Ethical Innovator. These aren't just mindset tweaks — they're fundamental rewirings of how you see yourself and your role.What you're not seeing when you don't make offers — the real consequence of staying silent about your programs, and how your fear of being pushy is actually denying people the agency to choose their own path forward.The reframe that makes pitching feel like service — including the coaching questions that reveal whether you have a sales problem or a conviction problem, and why treating your webinar attendees differently than you'd treat your best friend is costing you (and them) transformation.The 5-step framework for making offers that convert — from getting clear on your conviction first, to setting up the pitch at the beginning, using consent at offer time, making it about them (not you), and trusting them to decide for themselves.Resources & Links Mentioned:

Loved hearing the hilarious driving stories from our listeners!

In this week's episode, we sit down with two of our favorite Twos—Heather Flener and Sherman Bucher—for a conversation full of warmth, laughter, and self-awareness. These two embody the best of what it means to be “The Helper,” and their stories bring the Enneagram Two to life in such relatable ways. Heather and Sherman share how their caring hearts show up in parenting, friendships, and everyday life—and how that same deep empathy can sometimes make it hard to step back and care for themselves. We loved hearing them talk about learning to set boundaries, finding rest, and practicing the kind of self-care that allows them to keep loving well without burning out. From stories about childhood moments of “helping” to reflections on parenting as a Two, this conversation is full of insight and encouragement for anyone who gives a lot to others. And in true Two fashion, they even close things out by describing their ideal meal—small, intimate gatherings where connection is rich and laughter is easy. It's a tender, joy-filled conversation that will make you want to call the helper in your life and say thank you.

Sometimes life trips us up unexpectedly—small missteps, hidden slopes, or blind spots we didn't see. In our daily prayer and devotional, Sophia Bricker uses the metaphor of stumbling at the zoo to illustrate how sin and error can catch us off guard, impacting our steps long after the fall. The good news is that we don’t have to stay down. God offers grace to the fallen. When we confess our sins—not hiding them or excusing them—Scripture promises that God is faithful to forgive and purify us (Psalm 51:4; Psalm 32:5; Proverbs 28:13). Rather than despairing over past failures, we can lift our hands, repent, and allow Jesus to stand us up, clean off our wounds, and guide our next steps. God is the Helper of the brokenhearted. The One who lifts those bent under burdens (Psalm 145:14) is the same One who receives our confessions and restores us. In His mercy, we can walk in freedom, not haunted by what we once did, but empowered by who we are in Christ. Today's Bible Reading: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”— 1 John 1:9 (NIV) Key Takeaways Falling into sin doesn’t disqualify us from God’s forgiveness. Confession is the pathway back to cleansing and restoration. God’s grace is more powerful than our failures. He doesn’t just pick us up—He purifies and strengthens us for the journey ahead. Let’s Pray Together Lord, I confess my sins before You. I have stumbled and failed You, but I thank You that You are faithful to forgive. Wash me, purify me, and lift me up by Your grace. Help me walk forward in the strength and forgiveness You freely give. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Holy Spirit is the Helper who comes to dwell in and with us, to encourage and empower us.

In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️‍

Apart from the Holy Spirit the Truth is not in us MESSAGE SUMMARY: On this day of Pentecost, we're invited to explore the profound significance of the Holy Spirit in our lives. The message takes us through Jesus' teachings in John 14, where He promises the coming of the Helper - the Holy Spirit. We learn that the Spirit is not just a distant force, but a personal presence that dwells within us, bringing the very essence of Christ into our hearts. This indwelling Spirit transforms us, making us more like Jesus and empowering us to do His works. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to consider how we're allowing the Spirit to work in our lives. Are we grieving or quenching the Spirit through unforgiveness or sin? Or are we opening ourselves fully to His guidance and power? This Pentecost, let's renew our commitment to living Spirit-filled lives, recognizing that God's desire is for His presence to be with us always, not just now, but for eternity.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

In this week's episode, we're diving into one of our favorite Enneagram numbers—Twos, “The Helpers.” We love Twos. They're the nurturers of the world—nurses, teachers, counselors, and caregivers who instinctively know when someone needs a little extra kindness. We shared how much we admire their hearts, but also how easy it can be for Twos to lose sight of their own needs. Whenever we're speaking to a crowd, we always look for a Two—someone smiling, nodding, and radiating warmth that makes us feel right at home. We also talked about the challenges Twos face—the need for validation, the struggle to rest, and the importance of setting boundaries and practicing self-care. We wrapped up by calling Twos the “golden retrievers” of the Enneagram—loyal, loving, and endlessly giving—and reminding them they're deeply loved, not for what they do, but for who they are.

In Acts 19, Paul asked a simple question: “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”Tonight, Pastor Kelli reminds us that God has immeasurably more for His people through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn't distant—He's our Helper, Comforter, Teacher, Defender, and Friend. We are called not just to know about Him but to be filled and refilled daily with His power, strength, and presence.

Join Christa and marriage coach Michelle Purta for an essential conversation about nonviolent communication and rediscovering joy in marriage. Michelle, an Enneagram 2 married to a 5, shares her journey from relationships filled with more arguing than connecting to building the marriage she has today. She teaches the PEACE Method along with practical skills for communicating needs without blame, fighting in ways that strengthen rather than tear apart your relationship, and how different Enneagram types (especially the Helper married to the Investigator) can navigate conflict with compassion. Michelle unpacks nonviolent communication principles and how they transform everyday interactions, helping moms move from resentment and burnout to genuine connection. Perfect for anyone who wants to learn how to express needs, handle conflict constructively, and create a marriage filled with more tears of happiness than frustration. Watch on YouTube!

How do we know if it's the Holy Spirit speaking or just our own thoughts? In today's conversation, Dot and Cara unpack a common question believers wrestle with: discerning God's voice.
