Today, Pastor Jack teaches that as Christ followers, we have the Holy Spirit inside of us. We can be oppressed by outside forces but not possessed by demonic spirits. God lives in us and gives us the power to overcome any demonic attack.

Every Christian needs two people in their lives. We need someone we are learn from and someone we are discipling. We need someone in our lives that is helping us grow spiritually, and someone we are helping grow.Main Points:1. There is much emphasis today on our “personal relationship with Christ.” But sometimes because it's personal, we forget our responsibility to share it with others. 2. The Scripture informs us that the older women should teach the younger women. The older men should teach the younger men. This may not always refer to age because we know that just because a person is older it does not mean they are mature in the faith. I believe Paul is instructing us to find someone who is new in the faith so we can teach them how to follow Christ. This is discipleship.3. In discipleship, we model and teach toward a deeper love for and obedience to Christ. The goal of all discipleship is that we would be like Christ in our actions and character.Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 28:19-20 - “Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you…”1 Thessalonians 5:11 - “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”Hebrews 10:24 - “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works…”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

What if God has been speaking to you all along and you just didn't know how to tune in? In this episode, we break down the practical, biblical framework for learning to hear the voice of God in your everyday life. This one could genuinely change the way you walk with Jesus. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:  ⚡️Why hearing God is less mysterious than you think  ⚡️How God communicates through your mind, body, and emotions  ⚡️The simple litmus test to know if it's God, you, or the enemy  ⚡️Why reading the Bible out loud changes everything  ⚡️How stillness, solitude, and silence unlock a new level of spiritual clarity  ⚡️Why community is essential to rightly hearing what God is saying This is one of the most practical and grounding episodes Daron has recorded, pulling from his own walk, a sermon series, the work of the Jamie Winship organization, and a stunning essay by a young leader at their church.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, we read in the Gospel (Luke 11:29-32) about the people of Nineveh, who are a model for Lent. At the preaching of Jonah the prophet, they did penance and obtained pardon and divine mercy.Jesus said to the crowd,“This generation is an evil generation;it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it,except the sign of Jonah.Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites,so will the Son of Man be to this generation.”The Church of Christ preaches penance today. Penance and sacrifices are part of the period of preparation for the forty days of the Lenten journey, before we arrive at the joy and glory of Easter.The Lord intends for us to live the Paschal rhythm of death and life to reclaim, through self-examination, our true selves and become ready to share in Christ's glory.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

In this episode of the Greater Than Podcast, Elijah Murrell sits down with Kirk DuBois for a powerful and raw testimony of transformation.Before ministry, before Rhema, before miracles — there were drugs, the occult, and supernatural encounters that brought fear instead of peace. Kirk shares how a dramatic encounter with Jesus during the Jesus Movement changed everything. What began as curiosity led to a life-altering moment that replaced darkness with the presence and peace of God.Kirk opens up about the difference between counterfeit spiritual experiences and the genuine power of the Holy Spirit. He recounts powerful stories from the mission field — blind eyes opened, bodies healed, demons cast out — and explains why the presence of God is unlike anything the occult could offer.The conversation also dives into practical wisdom on being led by the Spirit. Kirk shares how grounding yourself in the Word of God is essential for discerning the voice of the Holy Spirit in a noisy world. With decades of ministry experience, he offers encouragement to young believers and those who feel called to something greater.Kirk's new book, No High Like the Most High, captures his journey and is written to equip the next generation to walk boldly with Jesus.This episode is a reminder that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.Get Kirk's bookhttps://www.amazon.com/No-High-Like-Most/dp/B0FV8GPTGY/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0

In this Here We Go episode of Tent Talk, Nancy records from her apartment in Southsea, Portsmouth, reflecting on the quiet rhythms of daily life as a backdrop for the deeper work of sonship. She reminds us that real discipleship cannot be forced or mimicked—it must be chosen and inwardly formed as the mind of Christ becomes our own. True maturity is not reapplying past revelations or parroting spiritual language, but living in ongoing, active dependence upon Him, allowing His internal government to take greater ground within us. Nancy invites listeners to consider whether a true “restoration revolution” has happened inside—an overthrow of independence so Christ may fully rule. The goal is not platform or performance, but becoming sons who simply stay with the Father, as Jesus did. In this hour of preparation, she calls us back to simplicity: lean into the fresh supply of Holy Spirit, relinquish false responsibility, and abide—one faithful step at a time. Thanks for Listening! Nancy McCready Ministries is committed to building cultures of personal and corporate discipleship so that believers can walk in maturity and their destiny with the Father.

Today is day 56 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the sixth line: “He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of The Virgin Mary” and studying question 56. 56. Was Mary the only biological parent of Jesus? Yes. While still a virgin, Mary submitted to the will of God and bore the Son of God. Therefore, she is held in high honor. However, in obedience to God, Joseph took Mary as his wife and raised Jesus as his son. (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18–25; 13:55) We will conclude today with The Collect for Saint Mary the Virgin found on page 631 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Have you been feeling like this last season broke you in ways you didn't even know were possible? Like old wounds you thought were healed just kept surfacing? Friend, you are not alone — and this episode is for you. I'm sharing something raw and unplanned today, straight from what God has been doing in my own heart. It has been hard, holy work. There have been tears, moments of confusion, and wondering if I'd ever feel like myself again. But something is shifting — and I could not wait to share it with you. This episode is about identity, spiritual warfare, and what it actually looks like when the Holy Spirit starts breaking away everything that was never really you to begin with. I'm sharing the moment that stopped me in my tracks and reminded me of who God created me to be, the daily prayer that carried me through this past season, and the beautiful truth that you really can fulfill His purposes for your life without striving. If you've been in a mental fog, fighting battles you can't quite name, or just whispering Lord, when is this going to stop? — this episode is your biblical encouragement for today.  Come join our community of women seeking intimacy with God → alyssarahn.com/community And if this episode blessed you, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Grieving the Holy Spirit brings great calamity to a person. Being led by the Spirit of God shows we are sons of God (Rom. 8:14).Why did God become an enemy of Israel?I shall make mention of the loving kindnesses of the LORD, the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD has granted us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His loving kindnesses. For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely." So He became their Savior. In all their affliction, He was afflicted, and the angel of His presence saved them; In His love and in His mercy, He redeemed them, and He lifted them and carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; Therefore He turned Himself to become their enemy, He fought against them (Isa 63:7-10).Wow! Because Israel rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, God turned Himself into their enemy. What do we learn? Do NOT grieve the Holy Spirit!Read more here.Support the show

In Matthew 3:13–17, Jesus goes down into the Jordan—but He doesn't stay down. He comes up out of the water, the heavens open, the Spirit descends, and the Father declares, “This is my beloved Son.” This moment reveals: ✨ The heart of the Father toward His children

One of the greatest problems with the natural man is that his heart is like a stone toward God. But, thankfully, Jesus is able to take out our hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh through the Holy Spirit!

Jesus Shares in the Divine Nature MESSAGE SUMMARY: In this powerful exploration of Jesus' identity, we delve into the profound High Priestly Prayer found in John 17. This prayer reveals Jesus not just as a teacher or prophet, but as one who shares in the divine nature with God the Father. We're challenged to consider: Who is Jesus to us personally? The prayer showcases Jesus' unique relationship with the Father, calling Him 'Father' over 160 times in the Gospels. This intimacy extends to us as believers, inviting us into the very fellowship of the Trinity. As we contemplate this, we're reminded that our unity as Christians is rooted in our union with God Himself. The prayer also reveals Jesus' eternal existence and His role in creation, emphasizing His divinity. This understanding transforms how we view the cross - not as a tragedy, but as our salvation. Let's reflect on how this deeper knowledge of Jesus' nature can impact our daily walk with Him and our relationships with others.   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.

As Stephen was being stoned to death, a young man named Saul stood watch over the garments of those who killed him. A great persecution against the early church began that day and Saul was at the heart of it. We learn about the work of the Spirit through Philip in two parts, first in Samaria, and later in the conversion of an Ethiopian eunuch. After Philip baptizes this man, it seems that Holy Spirit teleports Philip to Azotus where he continues to preach the gospel. The accounts of Philip are broken up by an account of Peter and his interactions with a sorcerer named Simon. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Daily Dose of Hope February 25, 2026   Scripture:  2 Corinthians 8   Prayer to the Divine Tutor from St Clement of Alexandria (150–215):   Be kind to Your little children, Lord; that is what we ask of You as their Tutor, You the Father, Israel's guide; Son, yes, but Father as well. Grant that by doing what You told us to do, we may achieve a faithful likeness to the Image and, as far as is possible for us, may find in You a good God and a lenient Judge.   May we all live in the peace that comes from You. May we journey towards Your city, sailing through the waters of sin untouched by the waves, borne tranquilly along by the Holy Spirit, Your Wisdom beyond all telling. Night and day until the last day of all, may our praises give You thanks, our thanksgiving and praise to You: You who alone are both Father and Son, Son and Father, the Son who is our Tutor and our Teacher, together with the Holy Spirit.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently walking through Paul's letters.  We are working our way through our fifth pastoral letter, 2 Corinthians. Today's reading is 2 Corinthians 8.  There is significant need among the believers in Jerusalem and Paul is imploring the churches in Macedonia and Greece to give, not out of obligation but truly out of love for their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Those in Jerusalem were Jewish believers who the Gentile Corinthians had never met. This offering would not have been part of a tithe, but rather over and beyond their normal giving, in order to help those who needed it. While the Macedonian churches were located in a fairly wealthy and prosperous area, that doesn't mean all the churches were affluent. There were some among them who were wealthy but many more were just working class or poor. And yet, Paul is calling them to give anyway. He has called all the Macedonian churches to give; this includes Corinth but also Philippi and Thessalonica. He is asking the Corinthians church to finish up their previous collection, keeping in mind the extreme need in Jerusalem. This is not a command, by any means, but rather encouragement to do what is right. Giving does not come naturally to human beings. We seem to have this need to keep things for ourselves. We tend toward selfishness over sacrifice. Generosity is something that God nurtures in our hearts. Jesus taught often about being generous. Think about Matthew 6:19-21, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The beauty in the Scripture is that it demonstrates that when we invest in the things of God, our heart will be pulled in that direction as well.  We start by giving sacrificially and God changes our heart. What's been your experience with giving? Do you tithe? If you don't, then what keeps you from giving on that level? Have you ever given above and beyond the tithe, as Paul was encouraging the Corinthians to do? What motivated that giving?  How has God blessed your giving? Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

If you feel like God is distant… you're not alone. Many Christians assume that if they don't feel the Holy Spirit, God must not be near. But that assumption isn't biblical. In this video, we look at Psalm 27, John 15, and the covenant promise of God's presence — even in seasons of spiritual dryness.

Are you struggling to hear God's voice? Listen as Mike Pickett reveals the consistent ways God communicates, reminding us of His ever-present help in times of need.

In this message, The Missing Peace, Tim Ross takes us to Mark 4, where Jesus and the disciples are caught in a violent storm, and raises the question we all whisper in chaotic seasons: “Jesus, don't You care?” While the wind roars and Jesus rests, we learn that peace is not the absence of chaos; it's the courage to trust the One who is peace and the refusal to participate in the panic around you. Tim unpacks how the peace Jesus promised and left with us was designed to steady hearts, regulate minds, and anchor souls in every season. When the Holy Spirit governs your inner world, chaos loses its authority, fear loses its volume, and you become the calm in rooms that once overwhelmed you.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

Have you ever felt torn when you see another church leader fall publicly?Part of you wants to defend the Church, but another part of you knows we can't just sweep sin under the rug. We are seeing headlines everywhere about "Cover-Up Culture," and honestly, it's "trendy", in some instances it may be true, and in some, it may be love seeking to cover. But it leaves us with a really hard question: Is it ever okay to judge? And how do we JUDGE RIGHTLY without being JUDGEMENTAL?We've been taught "Judge not," but does that mean we stay silent when leadership turns toxic?In this episode, my friend Leigh Sloan (Pastor & Author) joins me to have a raw, honest conversation about the difference between being judgmental and exercising righteous judgment. We are peeling back the layers on how to spot the difference between a "mistake" and a "pattern," and how to guard your own heart from bitterness when the leaders you looked up to let you down.Grab your coffee, friend.

Welcome to Day 2804 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2804 – The Devil Never Made Him Do It – Luke 4:1-13 Putnam Church Message – 01/18/2026 Luke's Account of the Good News - “The Devil Never Made Him Do It.”    Last week investigated a prophet who was unmatched in all history, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, in a message titled “The Greatest Mortal Who Ever Died.” Today, we begin our study through the ministry of Jesus Christ in a message titled: “The Devil Never Made Him Do It.” Our Core verses for this week are Luke 4:1-13, found on page 1595 of your Pew Bibles. Follow along as I read. OPENING PRAYER Holy Father, we gather today in the name of Jesus, our victorious Savior. As we open Your Word, teach us to recognize temptation, to discern the lies of the enemy, and to cling to the truth that sets us free. Strengthen our hearts by Your Spirit, steady our minds by Your Scriptures, and shape our lives to reflect the obedience of Christ in the wilderness. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever. Amen. Today, we come to a moment in Luke's Gospel that occurs quietly, without crowds, without choirs of angels, without disciples watching in awe. There are no miracles, no sermons, no parables, and no healings. Instead, there is silence, sand, hunger, and a solitary battle in the wilderness. It is here that Jesus faces the enemy of our souls in a way no other human ever has — and He triumphs. And He does so not by leaning on His divine authority, but by walking in obedience as a human filled with and yielded to the Holy Spirit. Our preaching text this morning comes from Luke 4:1–13 (NLT). Luke writes: “Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. Jesus ate nothing all that time and became very hungry.” (Luke 4:1–2) Luke wants us to see something right away: Jesus did not accidentally wander into temptation. He did not stumble into a spiritual ambush. He was led there. Led by whom? Led by the Spirit. And with that, Luke invites us into one of Scripture's most profound mysteries: God can lead His children into places of testing for the purpose of strengthening, purifying, and proving them. This is not new. Israel experienced the same. Moses reminded the people in Deuteronomy 8:2 (NLT): “Remember how the Lord your God led you through the wilderness for these forty years, humbling you and testing you…” Jesus is reliving the story of Israel — but where Israel failed, Jesus prevails.     Context: Between Baptism and Ministry Before we move further, we must notice the timing: Just before the wilderness comes the baptism. Just before the temptation comes the affirmation. Just before the war comes, the voice from heaven. In Luke 3, the heavens opened, the Spirit descended like a dove, and the Father declared: “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.” (3:22) Immediately after that, Jesus is taken to the desert. This pattern is familiar to anyone who has walked with God: Mountaintops are...

I want to help you with Christian meditation where you can break through all the distractions and experience God's presence through biblically guided imagination.  Acts 17:25 NIV “...He himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.” Genesis 2:7 NIV “Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV “...If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” John 20:19-22 NIV 19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord. 21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” Who can you share this podcast with?

Send a textWholehearted Storywork Part 4 After you've named the pain, let go of control, and stepped into agency, a question emerges: How do I sustain this?In this final episode of the Wholehearted Storywork series, Amy explores the Guide role, not as someone who has arrived or finished their own story, but as someone who has stayed with their healing long enough to walk alongside others without needing to control the outcome.This conversation reframes what it means to guide and be guided, and why formation is a lifelong journey that requires wisdom, presence, and ongoing support.You'll explore: What a Guide is (and isn't) in wholehearted formation.Why Guides still need guidance and haven't "graduated" from their own healing.How Hero energy becomes sustainable through wisdom over time. The Holy Spirit as the true Guide in your life.Why you don't have to have it all together to walk with othersThis episode isn't about becoming an authority or arriving at spiritual maturity.It's about learning how to stay present with your own story so you can offer that same presence to others.If you've been on this wholehearted journey and are wondering what comes next, or if you've realized that even good changes need support to last, this conversation offers a vision of formation that doesn't end but deepens.Guides don't guide because they're finished; they guide because they've learned how to stay.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

In this powerful conclusion to our nine-part series on healing the mind and brain, Kathy DeGraw reveals how neuroplasticity and biblical truth work together to create lasting transformation. You are not a prisoner of past trauma, fear, anxiety, or negative thinking. God designed your brain to form new neural pathways, and when you align your thoughts with Scripture, you activate supernatural transformation. As you take thoughts captive, declare truth, and meditate on faith instead of fear, you begin renewing your mind in a way that impacts both your mental health and physical healing. This episode dives into how repeated thoughts create brain patterns, how to dismantle destructive cycles, and how to partner with the Holy Spirit for true mind renewal. Through prophetic declaration, biblical meditation, and intentional focus, you can move from stress and torment into peace and clarity. If you are battling anxiety, depression, trauma triggers, or mind-binding spirits, this teaching will equip you with practical tools rooted in both neuroscience and spiritual warfare. It's time to rewire your brain with truth and walk in the mind of Christ. #Neuroplasticity #RenewYourMind #HealingTheMind #ChristianMentalHealth #PropheticSpiritualWarfare **Connect with Us** - Website: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kathydegraw/ - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathydegraw/ Podcast - Subscribe to our YouTube channel and listen to Kathy's Podcast called Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, or on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/3mYPPkP28xqcTzdeoucJZu or Apple podcasts at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/prophetic-spiritual-warfare/id1474710499 **Recommended Resources:** - Receive a free prayer pdf on Warfare Prayer Declarations at https://kathydegrawministries.org/declarations-download - Kathy's training, mentoring and e-courses on Spiritual Warfare, Deliverance and the Prophetic: https://training.kathydegrawministries.org/ - Healed At Last ~ Overcome Sickness and Receive your Physical Healing: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/healed-at-last/ - Mind Battles – Root Out Mental Triggers to Release Peace!: https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/product/mind-battles-pre-order-available-january-2023/ -Kathy has several books available on Amazon or kathydegrawministries.org **Support Kathy DeGraw Ministries:** - Give a one-time love offering or consider partnering with us for $15, $35, $75 or any amount!

In this episode of the Joyful Health Show, I talk with registered dietician, nutritionist, and certified eating disorder specialist Liesel Maddox about GLP-1s. Are they a magic pill for weight loss, and what are the concerns around taking these medications? We are answering your questions, and as always, striving to bring you a grace-centered discussion on conversations that matter. We'll discuss: What are GLP-1s and how do they work? Can we safely use them to lose 10-15lbs? Can you take a GLP-1 indefinitely? We believe you are free in Christ to make informed decisions about your health. May this episode serve to give you more fuel for prayer as you consider the role of GLP-1s in your life. "For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding." Romans 14:17-19 Let's break it down: 05:51 What are GLP-1s?12:36 Side Effects and Malnutrition Risks16:50 Can Vitamins Replace Food20:21 Stopping the Drug and Regain32:10 Peptide Therapy Explained37:17 Christian Discernment Framework41:36 Healing Food Noise50:44 Prayer And Sendoff

In Week 7 of our Familiar Stranger series, Pastor Matt Piland addresses a vital question: How do we actually live out the life God has called us to? Many of us treat our faith like a car loan—believing Jesus made the "down payment" on the cross, but that it's now our job to sustain the monthly payments through sheer willpower and "trying harder." Drawing from Galatians 5, Pastor Matt breaks down the difference between legalism and true freedom in Christ. Following Jesus isn't about a factory-style production of "being good"; it's about a garden-style growth that comes through the Holy Spirit. If you've been feeling spiritually exhausted by your own human effort, this message is a call to stop trying to maintain in the flesh what was only ever meant to be completed by the Holy Spirit.

What does it actually mean to live by the Spirit — and not by the flesh?Alicia Wilson's life has been marked by moments she cannot explain apart from God. From growing up in poverty in Jamaica to becoming captain of the Jamaican National Team, Alicia believed God was guiding her long before she understood why. But it wasn't until a series of profound encounters — including a powerful experience with the Holy Spirit, a vision that brought Scripture to life, and a battle with cancer that reshaped how she understood identity, fear, and even death — that she began to understand what it means to live as spirit, not defined by temporary or carnal things.In this conversation, Alicia shares what she believes God showed her about being united with Him, learning to hear His voice, and living from a place of spiritual freedom rather than fear. Her story isn't about chasing experiences — it's about discovering what Scripture means when it says that God is Spirit, and how life changes when a person begins to live from that reality.------------------------✟ Donate to A Stronger Faith here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/give--------------------------✟ Recommend a guest for us here ⇨ https://www.astrongerfaith.org/contact--------------------------✟ CONNECT WITH US! ⇨ Website: https://www.astrongerfaith.org/ ⇨ YouTube: https://bit.ly/asfmyoutube ⇨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astrongerfaith/ ⇨ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@astrongerfaith ⇨ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/astrongerfaith------------------------✟ If you need prayer or deliverance, or if you would like to join us as a prayer partner, please visit our prayer resources page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/prayer.✟ If you are looking for a good faith-building book, visit our recommended books page at https://www.astrongerfaith.org/books.

Friends of the Rosary,In today's Gospel (Matthew 6:7–15), Our Lord teaches us to pray.Moreover, He gives us the "Our Father" prayer, the model of all prayer.It's planted deep within us the desire to speak to God and listen to him.

Sooner or later, we realize that they are unsatisfying.The Lord's Prayer properly reorders our priorities. We should pray so our consciousness is reoriented.By praying and being obedient to the heavenly Father, we intend to be free from the slavery of Satan and of sin.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Today is day 55 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the sixth line: “He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of The Virgin Mary” and studying question 55. 55. Why is it important to say that Jesus was born? It is important to affirm that he is one of us: truly human, born to a human mother, and raised in a human family. (Luke 2:41–52; Hebrews 2:17–18) We will conclude today with The Collect for Christmas Day found on page 600 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

What happens when a leader chooses obedience over comfort and creates space for the Holy Spirit to move? In this episode of Leaders in Living Rooms, Sean Morgan sits down with Jeff Brodie to unpack a remarkable season at Connexus Church that began with five years of quiet wrestling in prayer and culminated in a week of corporate repentance, renewal, and deep encounter with God. Without a playbook, branding strategy, or polished program, Jeff led his church into a posture of “shameless persistence” (Luke 11), creating space for confession, freedom, and the work of the Holy Spirit. Welcome to Episode 153 of the Leaders in Living Rooms Podcast with Sean Morgan.

The Holy Spirit is the active expression of God on Earth. We are missing deep connection with God if we are not interacting with the Holy Spirit, forming a relationship with the Holy Spirit. He is the upgrade that we are offered, He is the one that is with us, guiding us, available to us now

Are you in the seat that God is calling you to?  In this episode, Jeff and Kyle discuss:  Living with curiosity and open communication. Generosity in influence. Learning and living in both the 1st and 2nd generation seats of organizations. Tapping into your emotional side.    Key Takeaways:  The family story is made up of 4 Ts, not 3: time, talent, treasure, and testimony. Write for your family alone. What do you want them to know and to carry forward? We must invest in the rising generation. Consider walking through the succession and transfer of influence sooner than you think. This can help to break the negative cycles that we may not even see. The focus of the family needs to come through the spirit. Get out of your head, and feel what God wants you to know and to do.   "I'm talking about doing something that taps into this softer, emotional feeling side that at first feels very uncomfortable, but I believe the Holy Spirit will speak through it in ways that are unimaginable and are uniquely gifted to unleash something that is God-breathed." —  Kyle Circle   Episode References: Gospel Patrons: People Whose Generosity Changed the World by John Rinehart   About Kyle Circle: Kyle is from a 19-generation farming family and was born into the largest 1st Gen strawberry farming family in the U.S., now in the wine business in the Central Coast of CA. They sold a 500-acre vineyard to the Gallos in 2018 and another 440 acres to Cupcake. Today, they're the largest grower for Joel Gott and Austin Hope in Santa Ynez and Paso in the Central Coast of California, with hundreds of acres of premium vineyards. The family history can be summed up as high-tech thinking in a low-tech industry, like agriculture. Today, the family holds various classes of real estate. This led him to start his 1st business when he was 11 years old, today owning land/vineyard, commercial, industrial & residential properties. He ended up having a 15-year professional music career where he played drums for Katy Perry. He did A&R, having found Francesca Battistelli getting her record deal, and managed a half dozen artists until 2010. His last artist was Nate Smith, who now has 3 #1 country singles and has been out with Morgan Wallen all last year and been out with Jason Aldean. Kyle was featured in Robert Frank's 2007 New York Times best-selling book, “Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich,” in Chapter 11 titled Astrokids. Robert was the Senior Editor of the Wall Street Journal's “The Wealth Report” for 18 years, is now the CNBC Wealth Editor, and has been hosting Inside Wealth since 2012. In 2005, along with a small group, co-created YPONextGen (now called YNG for raising the next generation of YPO/YPO Gold), which Kyle was part of for 7 years before joining EO (Entrepreneurs Organization) for 7 years, where he was also on the local board. There is now a YNG chapter in every major city in the world. He's always been a serial entrepreneur with a deep heart for pastors! Having chaired the national board for standingstoneministry.org for 4 yrs, on the board for 7 yrs, 2017-2021, and walked the founders through succession planning, which opened his eyes to how closely related the rich younger ruler and pastors and ministry leaders and their families were.   Connect with Kyle Circle: Website: flourishingfamily.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kylecircle    Connect with Jeff Thomas: Website: arkosglobal.com Podcast: generousbusinessowner.com Book: arkosglobal.com/trading-up Email: jeff.thomas@arkosglobal.com X: x.com/ArkosGlobalAdv Facebook: facebook.com/arkosglobal LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/arkosglobaladvisors Instagram: instagram.com/arkosglobaladvisors YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCLUYpPwkHH7JrP6PrbHeBxw

In Episode 217, Ken Pounders shares how God used faithful men and biblical discipleship to transform his life from addiction to freedom in Christ. Reflecting on the mentors who poured into him during his early walk with the Lord, Ken explains why lasting change doesn't happen in isolation but through intentional relationships rooted in Scripture, prayer, patience, personal investment, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from 2 Timothy 2:2 and his own journey through Outreach Ministries of Alabama, he challenges listeners to both seek godly voices who can speak into their lives and become disciples who multiply faith in others. If you or someone you love is battling addiction, this episode offers practical encouragement and a clear reminder that true freedom is found in Christ and lived out in community.   Website: https://omainc.org Email: OMADirector2017@gmail.com or priorityev@mac.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/165704310121828/ Website: https://priorityev.info Instagram: instagram.com/bro_ken   Outreach Ministries of Alabama, Inc., PO Box 98 Valhermoso Springs, AL  35775 Phone:   256-778-8096  

Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing. Jesus said, I AM the Main Thing! MESSAGE SUMMARY: Today, we delve into the profound mystery of the Holy Spirit and its vital role in our Christian walk. We're reminded that it's not just about having the Holy Spirit, but allowing the Spirit to have us - to lead and guide our lives. The message emphasizes three key sins against the Holy Spirit: grieving, quenching, and blaspheming. When we choose bitterness over love, or hold onto unforgiveness, we grieve the Spirit. Every time we sin, we quench the Spirit's flow in our lives. Yet, there's hope in confession, which reopens the floodgates of the Spirit's presence. This teaching challenges us to examine our hearts: Are we truly yielding to the Spirit's guidance? Are we living holy lives that honor God? It's a call to deeper surrender and a reminder of our constant need for the Spirit's empowering presence in our faith journey.   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. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Compulsions. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Patience. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

A deacon by the name of Stephen has been accused of blasphemy and now stands before the court of the Sanhedrin. False witnesses claimed that he had spoken against the law of God. Today, Stephen turns the tables on his accusers and puts them on trial for refusing to acknowledge Christ. Reciting a brief overview of Israel's history, he plainly shows them that it is Israel who is guilty of rebelling against God and resisting the Holy Spirit. In a rage, they rush to kill him, and Stephen becomes the first known Christian martyr, and as Tertullian later said, “The blood of martyrs is the seed of the church.” :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Send us a messageWhen you're overwhelmed, stretched thin, and running on fumes, everything starts to look like a problem - your job, your ministry, your relationships, even your purpose. But what if the issue isn't your location… it's that just your just plain burned out?In this first episode of our new series "Right Place, Right Time", we take a real look at what burnout feels like, how it disguises itself as “discernment,” and why big decisions made from a tired place rarely lead to peace. I'll share practical reflection steps and a spiritual perspective that can help you slow down before you make a move you might regret.If you've been questioning whether you're in the right place, this conversation is for you.

In a world filled with confusion, pressure, and spiritual drift, believers need more than information—we need the presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Discover why dependence on the Spirit is essential for clarity, strength, boldness, and living a victorious Christian life in this hour.Be stirred to pursue deeper fellowship with the Holy Spirit and live empowered, guided, and filled every day.

Jesus assures His troubled disciples that the Holy Spirit is coming to lead them into an entirely new dimension of relationship and fruitfulness. Today, we live in the fullness of that promise and in the miraculous reality of doing even greater works.

Pastor starts with a deeper exploration of John 16:13 "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is yet to come." People have used this verse to argue that the word Spirit is not about a personal being but about an impersonal force because in the original Greek text "spirit" (pneuma) is a neuter noun. Yes, this is true, and so they determine that neuter means the Holy Spirit is an IT. Yet the verse goes on by saying, "…He will guide you…, He will speak…. He will tell you…" The original greek text for He is a masculine pronoun (ekeinos). The Holy Spirit is a HE!  We must pay attention to this! God is speaking very intentionally here!!  The author of scripture is the Holy Spirit and the Spirit is making sure we understand HE IS personal because He's a person not an it. He desires to be a part of our lives. He's not a force imposed upon us.  The Spirit is the very presence of the Living God and desires that we come to know Him more and more and He reveals Jesus Christ to us. Now What?
