In a world that often silences truth and mocks faith, Isaiah shows us what it means to follow God into the darkness. Built through years of listening and obedience, the prophet learns to trust the Lord when the journey becomes painful. His words point ahead to Jesus, the ultimate Servant who set His face like flint and carried the light of God's love through the shadow of the cross. Join us for the final message in the Here I Am series, where we discover that when the world rejects the truth, God's Word still shines in the darkness—and so must we.

Isaiah's ministry began in a nation that looked devout but was spiritually diseased. The people performed acts of worship while ignoring justice, truth, and compassion. In this opening message from the Here I Am series, Pastor Gary Webber reminds us that before God can use us to change the world around us, He must first cleanse the world within us. Only when the “enemy within” is exposed and forgiven can we say, “Here I am, send me.”

In this thought-provoking episode, host Shai Davidai sits down with Dr. Mijal Bitton—Torah teacher, sociologist of American Jewry, podcast host, and co-founder of the Downtown Minyan in New York City. Together, they explore the complexities of Jewish identity in America, challenging the idea of simple labels and categories. Dr. Bitton discusses why Jewish identity is more than just a hat one can take on or off, and how American society's binary views on race and ethnicity often fail to capture the unique experiences of Jews. The conversation delves into topics like the term “Jew of color,” the impact of social constructs on identity, and the importance of embracing the full, sometimes inconvenient, truth of Jewish history. This episode offers a nuanced look at belonging, inclusion, and the ongoing conversation about race, privilege, and identity in the Jewish community.

What if the greatest danger for Christians today is thinking we're prepared for eternity, while living on half-full lamps? In this episode, Heather reveals the hidden truth in Jesus' parable of the ten virgins: all ten had oil, but only five had enough to enter the marriage supper of the Lamb. She unpacks what this means for us now, why simply saying “I believe” falls short, and why God is looking for those who answer His call with a wholehearted “Here I am.” Through biblical examples and sobering insights, Heather exposes how lukewarm teachings have misled many into thinking partial obedience is enough. She emphasizes that true faith is proven by action, that sanctification is not optional but necessary, and that the fear of the Lord anchors us in daily submission. This conversation will challenge you to count the cost of discipleship, lay down your own desires, and embrace sacrificial service to others. Above all, it calls us to examine whether our lives reflect the oil of obedience—or risk being shut out of heaven's door.

Timmerie just rocked this episode of Trending with a commentary on St. Peter’s wild rollercoaster of a spiritual journey: from face-palming mistakes to fearless faith. She kicks it off reminding us why the whole world, Catholic or not, keeps one eye on the Catholic Church: because God’s authority in His Church is undeniable, magnetic, and kind of a big deal. And with all eyes often on Rome, especially during a papal election, she turns ours to... Peter, the first Pope. He wasn’t born a saint. He struggled, and it’s the best news ever for us. Peter the Passionate (a.k.a. The Guy Who Told Jesus He Was Wrong... Oops) -Timmerie says that Peter was dramatic. Like, theatrical. -He told Jesus, “God forbid, you won’t suffer and die!” -Jesus responds: “Get behind me, Satan.” Yeah… not great. Here’s the key: Peter failed hard, but he kept coming back. Even after denying Jesus three times, he didn’t stay stuck in shame. He ran back to Christ... and so should we. “Here I Am, Lord…” (Even When I Mess Up) Timmerie reminds us: every time we sin, we deny Christ, just like Peter. What sets saints apart is what they do after they mess up. Peter models radical repentance, and that's a masterclass in holiness. Tip from Timmerie: Run to confession. RUN.
