Podcasts about His Story

Send us a textA teacher of Israel meets the Teacher from heaven, and the ground shifts beneath his feet. We open with Nicodemus arriving under cover of night, only to hear words that cut through status and stamina: you must be born from above. This isn't about turning over a new leaf or polishing virtue; it's a new creation by the Spirit, as unpredictable and undeniable as the wind.From there, we trace a surprising thread back to the wilderness. Jesus ties new birth to an old story—Israel's healing by looking at the bronze serpent—showing that the cure for sin is not effort but faith. Then comes the heartbeat of the gospel: God loved the world like this, by giving His Son. Light enters the world, and while many hide, those who step into the light find that their good works were fueled by God all along. We also highlight Nicodemus' slow-bloom courage, from secret questions to public honor at the burial, a hopeful picture for anyone who is seeking in the shadows.The focus turns to John the Baptist, where success could sour into envy. Instead, John rejoices: the friend of the groom steps aside when joy is complete. “He must increase, but I must decrease” becomes a blueprint for ministry without ego, a freedom to serve without clutching credit. Along the way we reflect on the Son who came from above, speaks the words of God, and gives the Spirit without measure. Belief yields life, not as an abstract idea but as present reality that reorders desires, ambitions, and daily obedience.If you're wrestling with performance, identity, or what it means to truly change, this conversation invites you to look and live.

Send us a textTime is short, but meaning doesn't have to be. We open Psalm 90 with Moses and step into the tension between God's eternity and our brief, dust-bound days. Instead of spiraling into fear, we follow the psalm's path toward wisdom: number your days, seek steadfast love each morning, and ask God to establish the work of your hands so your ordinary life can carry extraordinary weight.We read Psalm 90 aloud, then unpack its language and imagery—the grass that withers by evening, the thousand years that feel like yesterday, and the ache of a people in the wilderness. From there, we move into practice. What does it look like to count our days without anxiety? How do we pursue joy in deserts? Why does the Hebrew sense of establish as make firm change the way we think about success, impact, and legacy? Along the way, we draw on the body metaphor to remind us that every role matters. The hand cannot replace the eye, the big toe cannot dismiss the ear; each gift adds strength to the whole.By the end, you'll have a simple rhythm to carry into tomorrow: begin with gratitude for God's unbreakable love, choose what matters most with clear-eyed intentionality, and offer your daily work to be made durable beyond the moment. Whether you're leading a team, changing diapers, writing code, or caring for a neighbor, there's room for your work to echo in eternity when it's rooted in God's purposes.

Send us a textWaiting can turn even grateful hearts into idol makers. At the foot of Sinai, Israel melts its earrings into a golden calf while Moses meets with God on the mountain. We walk through Exodus 32 step by step—impatience, the lure of a visible god, the failure of leadership, and the blowback that follows—so we can see our own patterns with honest eyes and renewed hope. This is a hard chapter, but it shines with a fierce kind of grace.We explore how Aaron caves to the crowd, how worship shifts from God-centered to man-centered, and why Moses shattering the tablets is more than anger—it's a sign that the covenant has already been broken. From there we lean into the mystery of intercession: Moses appeals to God's character, his promises, and his name among the nations, and the Lord relents. The story doesn't dodge justice—three thousand fall and a plague strikes—yet it refuses despair by pointing forward to a greater Mediator who would bear the full weight of sin.Along the way, we talk about modern idols that look nothing like calves but demand the same devotion: productivity, pleasure, image, and control. We ask what it means to repent without excuse, to lead with conviction when popularity whispers, and to pray with a boldness that believes mercy is mighty. If your heart feels like a factory of substitutes, you're not alone—this passage aims your worship back to the God who is worthy.

Send us a textWhat if the most powerful faith is the faith no one sees? We walk through Matthew 6 and discover how Jesus redirects our spiritual life from the spotlight to the secret place, where giving, prayer, and fasting become intimate acts of love rather than public performances. Calling God Father isn't a throwaway line; it's a radical invitation to relationship that reshapes our motives, our speech, and our daily choices.We unpack the Lord's Prayer as a living framework instead of a rigid script—relationship, reverence, surrender, dependence, confession, and protection—each petition present tense, each one drawing our hearts into ongoing conversation with God. From there, we face hard questions about treasure and vision: where we store value, how we see reality, and which master we truly serve. You'll hear how a healthy eye fills life with light, why we can't split loyalty between God and money, and how generosity becomes joy when applause no longer sits on the throne.Anxiety gets honest treatment too. Jesus points to birds and lilies as everyday billboards of the Father's care, reminding us that worry cannot add an hour to life, but trust can restore focus. Seek first the kingdom and watch priorities reorder: less spiraling, more steady steps; fewer what-ifs, more prayerful yeses. Along the way, we share practical ways to practice hidden disciplines and cultivate a quiet strength that endures when life gets loud. If you're hungry for a faith that is deep, simple, and free from performance, you'll find clarity and courage here.If this speaks to you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick rating or review—then tell us: which part of Matthew 6 are you practicing this week?The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today.

Send us a textA king falls hard, then tells the truth. We open Psalm 51 and step into David's confession after Nathan's rebuke, tracing how real repentance sounds when pride finally gives way to mercy. Rather than ask for fairness, David pleads for steadfast love and abundant compassion, naming the vertical offense of sin before God while refusing to excuse himself. That clarity reframes our conflicts too, revealing how pride and self-justification keep us from the joy we crave.Together we walk the language of renewal—blot out, wash, cleanse—and the bold request to create a clean heart, the same creative word that spoke worlds into being. We talk about the fear of distance from God, the ache of bones under discipline, and the surprising promise that forgiveness does more than reset; it remakes. Joy returns. Lips open. Witness flows. Sacrifice loses its performative shell and recovers its sincerity when joined to a broken and contrite heart God will not despise.We also ask what ownership looks like for us today. How do we move from secrecy to integrity, from negotiating to bowing, from shame to story? By telling the truth without spin, asking for what only God can give, and trusting Him to turn ashes into something new. If you're ready for renewal that touches the heart and ripples into your relationships and community, this conversation will meet you with honesty and hope.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a rating or review to help others find the message of mercy and renewal.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today.

Send us a textA quiet ascent, a hard command, and a name for God that changes how we face the unknown—walk with us through Genesis 22, where Abraham calls obedience “worship” and discovers the Lord who “will see to it.” We read the passage in full, sit with the tension of the knife and the voice from heaven, and follow the moment the ram appears in the thicket. Along the way, we unpack the Hebrew textures of “test” as refine, not trap, and “provide” as see ahead, not mere supply. The story reorients sacrifice away from fear and toward trust, away from performance and toward a Person who arrives before we do.We explore Abraham's line, “We will come back,” and how that reveals a faith stretched between two hopes: either God would provide a substitute or raise Isaac from the dead. That double horizon points forward to Calvary, where what God required, God provided, and where substitution becomes the heartbeat of grace. We also face the difficult question of child sacrifice head-on, seeing how God disrupts the patterns of surrounding cultures and reframes devotion through protection, provision, and promise. From covenant renewal to blessing for the nations, Moriah becomes a signpost of a larger story that reaches into our own fears and choices.If you're standing at your own Moriah—holding something precious, unsure what comes next—this conversation invites you to see obedience as adoration and to trust the God who sees ahead. We end with a simple practice: ask what God is inviting you to place on the altar today, and listen for where provision already waits. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review so others can find these journeys too.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today.

Send us a textA quiet hillside becomes the stage for the most searching vision of human flourishing ever spoken. We walk through Matthew 5 and let the Beatitudes, the call to be salt and light, and the hard words on anger, lust, oaths, retaliation, and enemy love work on us—not as slogans, but as a new way of being shaped by a faithful King. The message is uncompromising and strangely gentle at once: blessing meets broken places, and holiness reaches beyond rule-keeping into the motives and desires that steer a life.We start where Jesus starts: with a list of blessings that overturn our instincts. Poverty of spirit receives a kingdom. Mourners find comfort. The meek, not the aggressive, inherit the earth. Then we move into the public life of disciples: preserving good like salt, revealing truth like light, living so that God gets the credit. From there, the line tightens. Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets and raises righteousness beyond performance. Anger becomes a matter for reconciliation before worship. Lust is exposed as heart-level unfaithfulness. Marriage and speech demand integrity. Retaliation gives way to radical generosity. Love crosses enemy lines, reflecting the Father who sends sun and rain on all.We don't pretend this is easy. We name the impossibility of self-powered virtue and point to the One who embodies every word he speaks. The King who teaches is the King who redeems, draws near in mercy, and gives a new heart. Along the way, we offer grounded practices: initiating repair when relationships strain, choosing simplicity in speech, setting wise boundaries for purity, and taking the second mile when wronged. The aim is not flawless performance but growing wholeness—“be perfect” as a call to become complete in love. Stay to the end for prayer and a look ahead to Abraham's costly faith in Genesis 22.

Send us a textThunder shakes the mountain, a trumpet sounds, and a rescued people hear the words that will shape their life together. We return to Sinai and read Exodus 20 in full, but we don't stop at the list; we press into the heartbeat behind it—grace first, then guidance. Before a single command is given, God names what he has already done: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt.” That opening changes everything, transforming the Ten Commandments from a ladder into a mirror and a map for a redeemed people.We trace the flow from loyalty to God—no other gods, no idols, the weight of God's name, the gift of Sabbath—into love for neighbor—honor parents, protect life, keep covenant, respect property, tell the truth, cultivate contentment. Along the way, we draw a line from Sinai to Jesus' teaching in Matthew: righteousness reaches the heart long before it reaches the hands. Anger seeds murder, lust shadows adultery, and coveting fuels quiet unrest. We explore how the altar's instructions, set right beside the Law, anticipate atonement and point forward to Christ as the Lamb of God—justice satisfied, mercy offered, and a new way of living opened.This conversation also names pride and ego as the hidden root behind so much harm—idolatry of the self, dishonor at home, betrayal in marriage, theft, slander, envy. We talk about humility not as self‑neglect but as the joyful freedom of trusting God's care, embracing limits, and loving our neighbors without keeping score. If you're hungry for a grounded take on the Ten Commandments, Sabbath rhythms, heart‑level ethics, and the connection between law and grace, this episode offers a clear path forward.

Send us a textThe story opens with motion: travelers from the east scan the sky, see a sign, and choose to move toward a promise. That simple act—to ask, to seek, to kneel—runs headlong into a ruler who confuses fear with leadership and control with safety. We sit with Matthew 2 as it unfolds like a map of trust, tracing the Magi's courage, Herod's deceit, Joseph's midnight obedience, and the God who quietly steers each step through dreams and fulfilled prophecy.We talk about why the Magi's gifts still speak—gold for a real but hidden kingship, frankincense for a priest who brings us near, myrrh for a path that descends into suffering before rising to life. We reflect on worship not as a performance but a posture, the kind that drops to its knees and offers what it holds. Alongside that reverence, we face the ache in Bethlehem, where Rachel's tears remind us that redemption does not skip the valley. Yet even in grief, there's a thread of providence—Egypt as refuge, Nazareth as home, prophecy as the quiet architecture beneath the journey.This conversation leans into discernment in a world where flattery can hide a dagger. We explore how to test smooth words, stay alert to the Spirit's prompting, and move with courage when God says “rise.” If you've ever wondered how divine promises survive human schemes, or how ordinary choices can carry eternal weight, you'll find resonance here. Listen, reflect, and consider where you might be called to kneel, to wait, or to take the next faithful step.If this story stirred something in you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it.

Send us a textA shepherd leaves ninety-nine, a woman lights a lamp and scours the floor, and a father runs down the road with reckless joy. We walk through the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the two lost sons to find their shared center: a God who seeks, finds, and celebrates before anyone can earn their way back. The setting is tense—tax collectors drawing near while religious leaders grumble—but the response is not a debate. It's a trio of stories that build like a symphony, each movement louder than the last, until the feast erupts and a question lingers at the door.We slow down to notice the textures: the sheep lifted onto shoulders, the coin discovered after diligent searching, the robe and ring that restore status, and the sandals that mark sonship rather than servitude. We talk about repentance as a turning toward home rather than a performance, and we wrestle with the older brother's outrage at mercy that looks unfair. The ending stays open on purpose. Will we step inside and share the joy when someone we think doesn't deserve it is welcomed? What does it mean to build communities that throw parties for one returning heart, echoing the joy of heaven over a single repentant person?Along the way, we explore how value is assigned not by productivity or proximity but by belonging, and how grace disrupts the math of merit. If you've run far or kept score, if you've felt unworthy or resentful, this conversation offers a way home—and a seat at the table.

Send us a textWhat if the deepest peace doesn't wait for calm, but meets you right in the middle of the fight? We open Psalm 23 and trace its simple, fierce logic: a Shepherd who leads and restores, a valley where fear loses its grip, and a feast set in full view of enemies. As we move line by line, we unpack the surprising shift from talking about God to talking to God, and why intimacy often blooms where the light feels thin and the shadows loom large.Together we sit with the rod and staff—protection and direction in one faithful hand—and explore how abundance looks when it overflows in unlikely places. The image of oil and a brimming cup isn't spiritual decoration; it's a defiant promise that nourishment and honor can arrive while the battle still rages. We also dig into the Hebrew sense behind “follow,” discovering that goodness and mercy are not lagging behind us but actively pursuing us, reshaping how we read both setbacks and surprises across our days.You'll hear a short reading of Psalm 23, a practical guide to memorizing it piece by piece, and reflections designed to travel with you into workrooms, hospital halls, and quiet kitchens. By the end, expect a sturdier hope, a clearer picture of God's presence, and a fresh desire to rest, walk, feast, and dwell under the Shepherd's care.

Send us a textThe burning bush, a divine interruption that forever changed the course of history. Moses, a fugitive shepherd in the backwaters of Midian, encounters God in the most unexpected way: through ordinary brush set ablaze yet mysteriously unconsumed. This pivotal moment reveals profound truths about how God works in our world and our lives.At the heart of this encounter stands God's breathtaking self-revelation: "I AM WHO I AM." These words unveil the very essence of God, His self-existence, His independence, His unchanging nature. The name speaks to God's absolute reliability and becomes the foundation upon which every divine promise rests. When Moses questions his adequacy for the monumental task before him, God doesn't boost his confidence with assurances about his leadership qualities. Instead, He offers something far more powerful: "I will be with you." God's presence, not human capability, becomes the bedrock of Moses' calling.What makes this passage especially meaningful is how it illuminates the pattern of divine initiative in redemption. Before Moses takes a single step, God has already seen the affliction of His people, heard their cries, known their sufferings, and come down to deliver them. This cascade of divine action reveals the heart of God, One who moves first in compassion before inviting us to participate in His redemptive work. The story challenges us to recognize the burning bushes in our own lives, those moments when God interrupts our ordinary routines with His extraordinary presence, calling us to purposes greater than ourselves. What might God be calling you to do today that you've been hesitating to embrace? Remember, when God calls, He equips, providing everything we need precisely when we need it, if only we'll step forward in obedience.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today.

Send us a textLight breaks through darkness in Isaiah 9, one of Scripture's most profound prophetic passages. We journey through this remarkable text that announces hope amid despair and reveals the divine nature of the coming Messiah through a series of majestic titles.The Hebrew word for "light" here, "or", echoes Genesis 1, signaling that the Messiah's arrival represents nothing less than a divine new creation. When Isaiah proclaims "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace," he's not merely crafting beautiful poetry. Each title unveils a facet of Christ's nature: divine wisdom beyond human understanding, explicit deity as God the warrior, eternal paternal care, and the bringer of complete wholeness (shalom).While ancient listeners may have hoped for immediate relief from Assyrian threats, this prophecy transcends their circumstances, pointing to an eternal kingdom "with justice and righteousness from this time forth and forevermore." The declaration that "the government shall be upon His shoulder" offers profound comfort—the ultimate weight of responsibility rests not on fallible human leaders but on the Messiah Himself. His kingdom, unlike every earthly empire, has no expiration date.As we reflect on these ancient words, their fulfillment in Jesus becomes clear. The zeal of the Lord Himself guarantees these promises, demonstrating God's passionate commitment to establish His perfect rule through Christ. Have you experienced the light this passage promises? The divine wisdom, strength, hope, and peace available through the one who shoulders the government of all creation?

Send us a textThe turning point of biblical history unfolds in Genesis 12 as God calls one man to leave everything familiar behind. This watershed moment, what theologian John MacArthur calls "the hinge of biblical history", sets in motion God's plan to bless all nations through Abraham's lineage.What makes this passage so powerful is the raw humanity it reveals. Abraham demonstrates remarkable faith by leaving his homeland at age 75, stepping into the unknown based solely on divine promise. Yet when famine strikes, we see this same man of faith stumble in Egypt, lying about his wife's identity to protect himself. This tension between courageous trust and human frailty mirrors our own spiritual journeys. The Hebrew phrase that opens the narrative, "Lek Lekha" (go forth), invites not just physical movement but a profound spiritual journey into covenant relationship.The repetition of blessing, appearing five times in this short passage, reveals God's expansive heart. His covenant with Abraham was never meant to be exclusive but would ultimately overflow to "all families of the earth." This promise finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, whom Paul identifies as the promised seed in Galatians 3. Through Christ, we become heirs of this very covenant, invited to participate in God's redemptive mission. What comfort to know that God's purposes aren't thwarted by our weaknesses! Just as Abraham's story continued despite his failings, God's grace proves greater than our moments of doubt.

Send us a textThe Gospel of Matthew begins with a genealogy that serves as a theological foundation for Jesus's identity, rooting him in both Abraham's covenant and David's royal line.

God gives a call The Call requires us to leave and go The Call is rooted in God's Promise “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you” Gen. 12:2 The Call requires simple obedience “So Abram went as the Lord had spoken to him” Genesis 12:4 The Call will necessitate prayer “Abram built an altar there….. to the Lord” Genesis 12:7 “built an altar . . . and called upon the name of the Lord” Gen. 26:25 “God said to Jacob, ‘Arise, go up to Bethel and live there, and make an altar there to God'” Genesis 35:1 2. The Call will be tested “Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, ‘Abraham!' And he said, ‘Here I am.' Then He said, ‘Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a sacrifice'” Gen. 22:1 & 2 View sacrifice as an act of worship “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” Genesis 22:5 “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:2 - 4 Watch God provide “God will provide for Himself” Genesis 22:8 “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 3. The Call must continue “And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.” Genesis 25:5 “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I will give this land.”' Genesis 12:7 “The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, ‘Do not go down to Egypt, but do as I tell you. Live here as a foreigner in this land, and I will be with you and bless you….I will do this because Abraham listened to Me and obeyed my commands.' So Isaac stayed in Gerar.” Genesis 26:2, 3, 5, & 6 Dig new wells and build new altars “Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them.” Genesis 26:18 “Isaac built an altar there and worshiped the Lord.” Genesis 26:25 “One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” Psalm 145:4

Have you ever stood beneath a vast night sky, gazed at countless stars, and felt simultaneously insignificant yet strangely important? This tension lies at the heart of Psalm 8, David's profound meditation on humanity's place in creation.The psalm opens and closes with the same powerful refrain, "O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" Between these bookends, David contemplates a cosmic paradox that touches the core of human existence. Looking at the heavens—God's magnificent theater of glory—David wonders why the Creator of galaxies would concern Himself with creatures as small as us. "What is man that you are mindful of him?" he asks, expressing our collective amazement at divine attention.Yet this same psalm reveals that God has crowned humanity with glory and honor, giving us dominion over His creation. We are simultaneously dust and dignity, insignificant specks and divine image-bearers. This tension finds its ultimate resolution in Jesus Christ, whom Hebrews connects directly to Psalm 8. Where Adam failed in his role as creation's steward, Christ succeeds perfectly. Our worth isn't self-generated but derives from our connection to Him—we matter because God chooses to value us.This understanding transforms how we view both the universe and ourselves. We're called to live with the perfect balance of humility (acknowledging our smallness) and confidence (embracing our God-given worth). The proper response isn't pride in our special status but worship of the God whose grace elevates creatures as tiny as ourselves to such dignity. Join us as we explore this beautiful psalm that points us toward Jesus, in whom majesty and mercy perfectly meet. What aspects of creation most often leave you in awe of God's majesty? Share your thoughts and subscribe for our Monday episode where we'll explore Matthew 1 and see how Jesus' birth fulfills ancient promises.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

God spoke, and reality sprang into existence. Genesis 1 opens the greatest story ever told with a powerful revelation of God as the eternal source of everything—deliberate, ordered, and good. This ancient text reveals a Creator who brings perfect order from nothingness, crafting a universe with intentional design rather than random chance.What strikes us most profoundly is the creation of humanity in the imago dei—the image of God. Unlike any other creature, humans bear the divine imprint in every cell. This explains our innate drive to create—whether through art, music, business, or family. We're never more aligned with our divine design than when we're creating, mirroring the God who spoke worlds into existence. When you write a story, build a home, or compose a song, you're expressing this fundamental aspect of being God's image-bearer.The creation account contains fascinating details that reshape our understanding. Before sin entered the world, both humans and animals were vegetarians, sustained by the vegetation God provided. Death and animal consumption emerged only after the Fall—a reminder of how sin disrupted God's perfect design. Yet even now, creation testifies to God's glory everywhere we look. From the stars above to the intricate design of our bodies, His fingerprints remain visible.Understanding Jesus as the agent of creation (as confirmed in John 1) transforms how we see Him. The One who formed galaxies is the same One who formed our hearts. The hands that stretched out the heavens are the same hands that were stretched out on the cross for us. He creates with purpose, and that includes you. Nothing about your existence is accidental or insignificant.Subscribe to His Story as we continue exploring how Jesus wrote the greatest story ever told—a story that includes His complete love for you and me. Join us Friday as we turn to Psalm 8, where David gazes at the night sky and marvels at God's care for humanity.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

"In the beginning was the Word..." The Gospel of John opens with this powerful echo of Genesis, immediately establishing Jesus not as a mere historical figure, but as the eternal Word of God. Unlike other Gospel accounts that begin with Jesus's birth or baptism, John takes us back before time itself to reveal Christ's divine nature.In this episode, we explore how John uses profound metaphors to help us understand Jesus at His core - as the Word, the Light that overcomes darkness, and Life itself. Rather than simply a teacher of good principles, Jesus is presented as the very source and embodiment of life, the creator through whom all things were made.We also meet John the Baptist, that "not normal cat" who lived in the wilderness eating locusts and honey, fearlessly speaking truth to everyone from ordinary people to kings. His singular mission was to prepare the way for Jesus, and when questioned about his identity, he humbly defines himself as "a voice crying in the wilderness" pointing others toward Christ.The calling of the first disciples reveals something remarkable about Jesus's presence. Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael all recognize Him as the promised Messiah, even before fully understanding His mission. Their recognition raises a challenging question for us today: Would we recognize Jesus if He came now? Would we see past our preconceptions to identify the divine Light standing before us?The greatest lesson from this passage isn't just understanding Jesus's identity or John's mission - it's responding to the same simple invitation Jesus offered His first followers: "Come and see" and "Follow me." This call remains available to each of us today, inviting us on the greatest adventure possible - following Jesus wherever He leads.The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

After years of helping others tell their stories of standing out, it's time to share the only story that truly matters, the story of Jesus of Nazareth.  He stood out during his 33 years before making the ultimate sacrifice, and that story has never been forgotten.  It's time for us to continue telling that story for the next generation. The Bible isn't just an old book—it's God's story, and it's still alive today. His Story takes you chapter by chapter through Scripture, combining simple readings of God's Word with prayer for every listener and occasional reflections on what the passage means for our lives right now. Whether you're brand new to the Bible or have been reading it for years, this podcast is a space to slow down, hear God's Word spoken, and be reminded that His story is also our story.

Dr. Paul Gibson | Luke 24:13-16If Jesus had a playlist, He would listen to country music. Why? Country music tells stories, and Jesus was a storyteller. How did Jesus respond to the desperation and confusion of the two individuals on the Road to Emmaus? He told His Story from the Old Testament through the Cross. People will be encouraged to reflect on how the story of the Cross affects their lives.

Peter talks with Corey McNellis - who was fired from Ponderosa High School for voicing concern over a Play on the Matthew Shepard Story. The problem? Being concerned that it just might not be accurate. Is that worthy of being Fired? His Story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew is writing this so that we would not just see, but believe and receive Jesus as Messiah - fully capable and fully compassionate. Jesus is God, and God is good all the time. May our faith increase in every gap as we trust Him because of who He is, and may His glory spread through the telling of His Story.

If God gave us His definition for success, would you pay attention? Everyone in the world is battling for success, yet most of us aren't prioritizing God's definition of success. Guess what? For the vast majority, success is never easy. Success always comes with internal challenges and external opposition. This is especially true spiritually because there's an enemy fighting against God's purposes and promises. That's why God tells Joshua and Caleb time and time again to be “strong and courageous.” Success is a battle on many levels. It is a battle spiritually, mentally, and physically. In this series, we're going to discover and develop the lion inside of you. The final message of Courageous is from Joshua 24:1-33. The goal of this message is to help you make a confident declaration. Most of us doubt our ability to make and sustain commitments. That's because the majority of our commitments are more intellectual than relational. Both of are important, but our hearts must be the driver. This message is about rediscovering the feelings behind the facts. It's vitally important for our history and holy days to be more than facts and traditions. Ultimately, history is His Story. It is so important for us to revitalize the holidays by personalizing the story. We must go beyond honoring Jesus as the Savior, but worshipping Him as our personal Lord and Savior. For many of us, we are already married, but holidays are an excellent time to renew our vows. This message is an opportunity to command your heart to wake up and be renewed. It is so easy to become too busy, too distracted, and numb out. It is time to feel again. Listen to this message with a heart to respond and be renewed.

Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. When the shooting stops, the silence can be deafening, especially for someone who has spent a lifetime running toward danger. That’s the reality Kevin Foster, a decorated law enforcement veteran in Texas, knows all too well. After 45 years on the job, Foster’s story is not just about service and sacrifice, but about survival in the aftermath of violence. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. In a compelling new podcast making waves on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website plus platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, Foster opens up about the traumatic events that shaped his life and career. “There’s a cost to every call, every shot fired, all the friends you lose,” Foster shares. “When it gets quiet, that’s when the real battle starts can start in your mind.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Foster’s experience reads like a history of Fort Worth policing. He spent 29 years with the Fort Worth Police Department, followed by over a decade with the TCU Police Department, and time with the local Sheriff’s office. Throughout his service in Texas, he saw more than his fair share of violence. Two incidents stand out, both etched into his memory, both life-altering. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. The first was a deadly encounter in which Foster and his partner were involved in a shootout. “It was a fight for our lives,” he recalls. “One suspect tried to take my weapon. My partner and I had no choice, we shot to survive.” Tragically, another suspect opened fire, injuring Foster’s partner in the chaos. The gunfight was brutal and long, with emotional consequences that followed Foster for years. Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. In another harrowing moment, Foster, then a sergeant, responded to an active shooter call in Fort Worth. “The radio was alive with screams. Officers were yelling for backup, and the killer was on a rampage,” Foster remembers. The suspect, involved in a violent domestic dispute, was believed to have committed multiple heinous crimes before the shooting. The stress of that day, like many others, compounded the trauma Foster was already carrying. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Diagnosed with CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), Foster has become a strong voice for mental health awareness in law enforcement. “We don’t talk enough about what happens to police when the shooting stops,” he said in a recent interview posted on LinkedIn and shared across Facebook, Instagram, and X. “The shooting might end, but the echoes stay with you.” Despite the trauma, Foster has remained a pillar in his community. He served as Chairman Emeritus of the Fort Worth Police and Firefighters Memorial, where he also acted as Research Director for over 23 years. In 2009, Fort Worth unveiled a million-dollar memorial commemorating its fallen heroes, an effort that meant a great deal to Foster. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. As an author, Foster co-wrote Written in Blood: The History of Fort Worth’s Fallen Lawmen (Volumes 1 and 2) with historian Richard F. Selcer. These deeply researched books chronicle the stories of police officers, sheriffs, and other lawmen who died in the line of duty from 1861 to 1928. The books are both a tribute and a history lesson, shedding light on the brutal realities faced by those who chose the badge. Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. Foster also co-authored Fort Worth Cops – The Inside Stories, a gripping collection of over 100 real-life stories from the 1950s to the present. These accounts dive into gang violence, serial killers, and vice operations, but also explore the faith and resolve that keep officers going. “Our job isn’t just about enforcing the law, it’s about protecting people, even when it breaks us,” Foster said. His most recent work, End of Watch – Fort Worth’s Fallen Officers 1873–2024, continues that mission, documenting the ultimate sacrifices made by officers across generations. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms Today, Foster speaks openly about his journey toward recovery. Therapy, faith, writing, and community engagement are all part of his path forward. “It’s a daily fight,” he says. “But I’ve come a long way, and I want other officers to know they’re not alone.” In an era when public trust and the role of law enforcement are under constant scrutiny, Foster offers a nuanced, honest perspective, one grounded in experience, pain, and hope. His voice is one of many in a growing movement that asks: What happens to the police in Texas, or anywhere, when the shooting stops? Police In Texas When The Shooting Stops, His Story. For more insights, the free episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms.
