One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to Daily Radio Bible for March 13th, 2025! In today's episode, Hunter guides us through day 73 of our journey in the scriptures, inviting us to gather with brothers and sisters from around the globe and warm our hearts by the fires of God's love. We read through Deuteronomy chapters 22–24 and conclude with Galatians 4, reflecting on the demands of the Law and the liberating grace found in Christ. Together, we'll explore themes of justice, compassion, and responsibility—from caring for neighbors and strangers, to the hard truths of Deuteronomy and the freeing message in Paul's letter to the Galatians. Hunter encourages us to set aside legalism, embrace our adoption as God's children, and rejoice in the freedom and forgiveness given to us. We'll finish with heartfelt prayers, a reminder of the importance of community, and gratitude for the partners who make this podcast possible. So take a moment to pause, join in the journey, and let the message of God's love and joy renew your spirit today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Set Free Many of us have not been free, and many of us have been sentimental legalists. You know, we flatter ourselves and think that we are better and more righteous than we really are. And that's why Paul says in verse 21, "Tell me, you who want to live under the law, do you know what the law actually says?" And the answer to that question would be no. The demands of the Law are impossible. It is downright hard to read sometimes. Breaking the Law warrants death. And if you want to get sobered up to the demands of the Law and the judgment due us because of it, you do not have to go much further than our reading in Deuteronomy today. So, let us do our best to ditch that sentimental, self-righteous fantasy that we are somehow able to pull this thing off, because we're not. Holiness is so far out of reach of my flesh that I'd sooner turn into a unicorn than a saint if it were up to my effort to be holy. But thanks be to God, the right standing that I couldn't achieve has been achieved and purchased for me. By the one and only man, Christ Jesus himself. He did achieve this spotless life. His sacrifice of death for people like you and me has not only set us free from the penalty of sin, but he has given us his Spirit so that we can live this life now in him. He has made us his children. We've been adopted. This whole glorious transaction creates a new desire within us and a new cry within us that says, "Abba, Father! Father, you, not I." There is new life and there is real freedom. But don't be fooled into sentimental, legalistic, powerless living. Instead, embrace your sonship. Wake up to the power that now resides in you, the Holy Spirit. Rejoice daily that you are forgiven, that you've been made holy. There's nothing that you've done to achieve that. Allow your eyes to be drawn to the glorious grace that has been given to you in Christ. There's only one glorious man who lived the righteous life, and he lived it for all of us in order that we all might be found in him. The Christian life is impossible apart from Christ, but in Christ, all things are possible. So let's live free today. Let's live in him today, because that is where we are. And the prayer of my own heart is that I will see it. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Sharing our faith should be exciting to us. It is exciting. When we consider the free grace God gave us through His Son, telling others about Jesus should be on our priority list every day. For whatever reason, many find it very awkward to talk to others about Jesus. We can talk about just about anything else, though. That's why it's crucial that we look at sharing the Gospel as an intentional thing we do. Intentionality is a great way to overcome our hesitancy, and let's be honest, sometimes fear keeps us from sharing. Truth is, each personality requires a customized approach to sharing about Jesus. Some are outgoing, and others are shy. A blogger for God TV has written that he admired a friend who told every seatmate on every plane he'd been in about Jesus.The blogger went on to write that, “Even if my fellow passengers desperately wanted to know Christ, they likely couldn't even get my attention with a jackhammer drill or a pie in the face.” Kind of funny…and also kind of sad. Also, very common. Matthew 16:24 says, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.'” So, if we're looking for ways to overcome our mediocre Gospel sharing, what can we do? Let's look at a few tips. The first is prayer. Get honest with God and tell Him you're not so great at evangelism. I mean, He already knows, anyway. Ask Him specifically to give you both opportunities and an intentional plan for communicating the best news anyone will ever hear.Two—plan, think ahead. Are you a person who's good at conversation? Go over a mental checklist that provides you with enough scripture and short sentences to make your pitch when the time comes. However, if you're not outgoing, maybe you're a writer. Consider communicating with a card to let the person know you're thinking about him or her. Play to your strengths, not your weaknesses. Number three, listen before you talk. How many times do we jump into a conversation or meeting without taking a breath? Train yourself to be quiet for a bit until you hear where the other person is coming from. You'll learn about your friend or acquaintance, and you can then think through the best way to approach them about the saving gift of Jesus. But also, don't just wait for your turn to talk. Hear them. Meet them where they are, and listen to the Holy Spirit to see how you can speak Jesus into that person's life. Very few of us are Billy Graham. That doesn't mean we can't share the gospel. Somebody's depending on it. Let's pray.Father, whatever our personality and our experiences, give us a passion for loving unbelievers and caring about their well-being. The world is full of diversity. Help us embrace that. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.
Love is powerful—but as the apostle Paul reminds us, it must be expressed within the guidelines of knowledge and discernment. Continuing his series in Philippians with his message, "Loving God's Way," Pastor Bayless explains that God's love is meant to be expressed through giving and forgiving—but always within the guiding limitations of Scripture and the Holy Spirit's leading. You'll discover how, without these boundaries, love may lead to excesses like enabling laziness or being taken advantage of. Learn how you can express a love that's both generous and godly in this encouraging message!
Today is day 72 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 tenth line: “He ascended into Heaven” and studying question 72. 72. What resulted from the ascension? Jesus ascended into heaven so that, through him, his Father might send us the gift of the Holy Spirit. Through the Holy Spirit, Christians together are united to Christ, the living Head of his Body, the Church. (John 14:15–17, 25–26; 16:7–15; Acts 2:33–36; Ephesians 4:7–16) We will conclude today with the Collect for the Sunday after the Ascension found on page 613 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/family-devotions/20260313fam.mp3 Listen to Devotion Read: John 4:5-26 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” John 4:7,9,13-15 The Picture We Can't Live Without In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Have you ever heard someone say, “A picture is worth a thousand words”? It means that sometimes showing a picture is better than trying to explain it with words. For example, I could describe a famous painting for a long time but seeing it in person makes it so much easier to understand. When Jesus taught people, he loved to use pictures like that to help them understand really important truths. One of his favorite pictures was water. Why water? Because we literally can't live without it! A human body can only survive about three days without water. Water is essential for life. One day, Jesus met a woman at a well. She had come to draw water to drink. Jesus used that every day, important water to teach her about something even more important: spiritual life. He said: “Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:14). Jesus wasn't talking about water you guzzle from a bottle that quenches your thirst for a little while. He was talking about the gift of salvation—forgiveness of sins and eternal life—something that lasts forever. We all look for things in this life to make us happy. The woman at the well thought the right person in her life would make her happy. We might think games, friends, screens, or even AI will satisfy us. The problem is those things never fully satisfy us. They leave us wanting more. They leave us feeling empty. Jesus gives us what we can't find anywhere else: Forgiveness when we foolishly look elsewhere for fulfillment. Peace with God for the moments we need it most. Eternal life to someday replace this life. And the best part? He fully satisfies us with salvation! We don't need to keep going back and trying over and over—Jesus already gives us everything we need. Jesus even gave us a picture of this truth: his cross. Look at it, and you see the gift of salvation, love, and forgiveness—all in one picture. Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for helping me understand how important your gift of salvation is for me. May your gift always satisfy me and make me truly happy. Amen. The questions below are to help families discuss this devotion. The questions are divided by age group as suggestions, but anyone could reflect on any of the questions as they desire. Questions for Younger Children What happens to a person who doesn't drink water? How is that like what happens to someone who doesn't know or believe in Jesus? When you see a picture of a cross, what does it make you think of? Questions for Elementary Age Children Why was the woman at the well so surprised that Jesus talked to her? What does that show us about Jesus? How is spiritual life like drinking water? How is it different? Questions for Middle School and Above Name three other things people sometimes look to for happiness or fulfillment. Jesus used a normal, everyday thing (water) to teach a spiritual truth. Can you think of something in your life that could help you teach someone about Jesus? How would that look? Download Family Devotions Family Devotions are brought to you by WELS Discipleship.

A group of twenty-two Christian leaders traveled half a day to secretly meet and learn from a pastor who came from another country. If caught, the pastor would be deported, and the others would spend three years in prison. Eighteen of the twenty-two had already been imprisoned for their faith in Jesus. After the pastor handed out fifteen Bibles he’d brought with him, one woman gave hers to someone else. Like many others, she’d memorized chapters of Scripture so she would have its wisdom secured in her heart if she were to go to prison. She later asked the pastor to pray that their church would be free to gather just like his. Instead, marveling at how they sacrificed, suffered persecution, and risked imprisonment, he prayed that his church would be just like theirs. Believers around the world are persecuted for their faith in Christ, some more severely than others. And all believers can be tempted to cower when the stakes of living for Christ are raised. But the Holy Spirit enables us to use our God-given gifts with “power, love and self-discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7). God will help us share the gospel with boldness and compassion, wherever He leads. Because of all He did for us (vv. 9-10), we can embrace the sacrificial cost of commitment to Christ and preserve “sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus” (v. 13).

Sign Up Free Mini E-Courses: Free Mini CoursesSign Up for Prayer: Orbis Prayer Ministry Network – Receive prayer for healing, prophecy, inner healing and deliveranceDonate: Give - Orbis MinistriesIn this candid and pastoral episode of God Is Not a Theory, Ken Fish addresses a topic rarely discussed openly in churches: dating ethics and sexual boundaries for Christians.Prompted by a conversation with pastors about a ministry leader asking how far he could go physically with his girlfriend, Ken explores what Scripture actually says about sexual conduct before marriage. Drawing from passages in Hebrews, 1 Corinthians, 1 Peter, and 1 Timothy, he explains why the biblical standard calls believers to honor marriage by maintaining sexual purity before marriage and faithfulness within it.Ken also examines the broader cultural context of modern sexuality, arguing that society's saturation with sexual content has distorted moral boundaries and desensitized people to practices once widely understood as inappropriate. He discusses the spiritual, emotional, and psychological consequences of sexual immorality and calls the church to recover a biblical vision of holiness.The episode also addresses difficult issues such as sexual temptation, pastoral misconduct, grooming, and the responsibility of Christian leaders to maintain absolute purity. Ken emphasizes that God's commands are not meant to restrict joy but to protect people and preserve the sanctity of marriage and family.Ultimately, the message is both a warning and an invitation: believers can walk in holiness through the power of the Holy Spirit, and when failures occur, repentance and restoration are always available.Key Topics CoveredWhy the question “How far can we go?” misses the biblical pointHebrews 13:4 and honoring the marriage covenantThe biblical definition of sexual immoralityBoundaries for physical affection while datingCultural shifts in sexuality over the past 60 yearsThe spiritual and emotional consequences of sexual sinWhy the church must teach moral clarity againThe role of marriage in God's design for family and childrenGrooming and sexual misconduct in ministry leadershipHow to Engage with Orbis:- Check out Ken's book, On the Road with the Holy Spirit: https://a.co/d/0OVIIA0- Partner with Orbis Financially: Give - Orbis Ministries- Download the app: App - Orbis Ministries- Are you interested in learning about Holy Spirit-led ministry?

Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life with Pastor Dave Cover
This is Christian Meditation for A Bigger Life – a time for you to relax your body and refocus your mind to experience the reality of God's presence. I'm Dave Cover. 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 17:28 NIV “For in him we live and move and have our being.” Jesus said this… Luke 11:13 ESV “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Sometimes the Bible refers to the Holy Spirit as “the Spirit of Jesus” (Acts 16:7), or “the Spirit of Christ” (Rom. 8:9). It's by the Holy Spirit that Jesus is present in you and with you. Ephesians 3:16-17 NIV “I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” 1 Corinthians 12:4, 7, 11 NIV “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. …Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. …All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.” Galatians 5:22-23 ESV “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” This is what it actually means to be “holy.” When you look at all the verses about the Holy Spirit in the Bible, one way to think of who he is is not just the Holy Spirit, but the Healing Spirit.

Welcome back to the Rhythms For Life podcast! In this episode, Gabe and Rebekah sit down with their longtime friend, bestselling author, and Founder/Visionary of Gather. With a friendship spanning nearly 15 years, they dive into a timely conversation about where the church is headed and the radical movements of God happening right now. This conversation explores the heart of Jennie's newest book, The Lie You Don't Know You Believe, which addresses the specific spiritual attacks of our day and the freedom found on the other side of truth. From witnessing campus revivals to hearing raw stories of transformation through baptism, Jennie shares her perspective on why this so-called “dark” generation is actually more desperate and open to the Gospel than ever before. In this episode, you'll hear: The Power of Desperation: Why spiritual hunger is the essential ingredient for the unique outpourings of the Holy Spirit we are seeing today. A Pre-Christian Generation: How Gen Z is shifting from "post-church" to "pre-Christian," encountering the story of Jesus for the very first time without the baggage of deconstruction. From Darkness to Light: Radical stories of grace, including the baptisms of former atheists, practitioners of witchcraft, and those coming out of the juvenile justice system. Manifestations of the Spirit: Jennie's personal reflections on the physical manifestations of God's nearness and the theological wrestling that comes with witnessing revival. Identifying the Lie: How to recognize the "darkness pouring in" and how the simple, beautiful story of Jesus remains the answer to the collapse of everything around us.

Friends of the Rosary,In the verse before the Gospel, St. John reminds us of two fundamental truths:"Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life;You have the words of everlasting life."Meanwhile, in the main reading (Matthew 5:17-19), Christ the Lord, through the disciples, is telling us:"Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandmentsand teaches others to do sowill be called least in the Kingdom of heaven.But whoever obeys and teaches these commandmentswill be called the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven."Being a faithful servant of Jesus means not only following his words but also cultivating our apostolic mission to spread the eternal truth. We continue praying our Holy Rosary from Austin, Texas.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!

Welcome to another episode of Brothers Just Searching, where we search the Scriptures and talk about God's Word to encourage believers in Jesus Christ.In this episode, Isaac Hayes, Anthony Hayes, and Bowen continue their Bible study through 1 John, focusing on 1 John 2:3-6 and discussing the evidence of truly knowing Christ.Many people claim to know Jesus, but the Bible teaches that a true relationship with Christ will produce evidence in a believer's life. John tells us that those who know Christ will keep His commandments and walk as He walked.In this conversation we discuss:• What it really means to know Jesus• The difference between professing faith and living it• Can a Christian live in continual sin?• The role of the Holy Spirit in helping believers obey God• Why the church must preach the truth of the Gospel• How believers should walk as Christ walkedThis episode also touches on important topics like grace, repentance, church culture, and the danger of false teaching.
Today's Devotional " I Need the Holy Spirit"lmjministries.org3/11/26Join us for coffee, conversation and community.
For thousands of years Christians have gathered around the world once a week to remember and celebrate Jesus together. However, is what we call “church” what it was intended to be? This movement that we have been swept up in began with a handful of people who were not terribly sure of what they were doing. In fact, they were mostly unsure and confused in their nature.But by the grace of God, the Holy Spirit empowered them to establish and lead a revolutionary vision creating witnesses of the love and grace of Jesus that has continued even to this day. We are here today because of the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES through the Holy Spirit just weeks after Jesus was crucified and resurrected. This study of the book of Acts should bring us back to purpose of the church and the power of the Holy Spirit.--- While the enemy has been unsuccessful attacking the early church from the outside, he turns his attention to the inside.
In this episode, Ashley Campbell explores the purpose of the church, questioning whether it is truly meant for non-believers. She emphasizes the importance of church as a community for believers to grow, engage, and equip one another in their faith. The conversation delves into the need for intimacy in worship, the role of church leaders, and the necessity of fostering a dependency on the Holy Spirit. Ultimately, Ashley argues that the church should focus on maturing believers rather than solely reaching out to non-believers.Takeaways-The church's primary function may not be to serve non-believers.-Believers should be equipped for ministry and growth.-Intimacy in worship should not be interrupted by announcements.-Engaging the congregation can transform the church experience.-The role of church leaders is to empower the body of Christ.-Unity in faith is essential for the church's mission.-Believers need to foster a personal relationship with God.-Church should be a house of prayer for all believers.-Every believer has a role in the church community.-The church should focus on spiritual growth and maturity.Chapters00:00 Rethinking the Purpose of Church06:09 Engaging the Body of Christ11:53 Equipping Believers for Ministry17:36 The Role of Personal Experience in Faith keywordschurch, believers, non-believers, community, faith, ministry, engagement, equipping, unity, spiritual growthConnect with me:https://linktr.ee/daily_encouragement_ashleyRumble Account: https://rumble.com/user/AshleyCampbellFacebook Page:https://www.facebook.com/dailyencouragementwithashleycampbell/Want to purchase a signed copy of mybook?https://buy.stripe.com/7sI8xdg6F2kZgSIfZ6ORRead the reviews on Amazon? https://a.co/d/gwyks9gWant to send me a financial donationbecause you value what I am doing on social media?https://buy.stripe.com/eVacNt3jTbVz9qg4gkWant to join my Facebook group thatwill equip you with the knowledge of the History of the UnitedStates, what the Constitution means and how you can preserve thisgreat nation we live in?Join my paid group today!

The Holy Spirit Filled Life Week 16The Gift of Miraculous Powers!
Will Acuff is a pastor's kid, former rock and roll guitarist, co-founder of Nashville nonprofit Corner to Corner, and author of No Elevator to Everest. He sits down for a conversation about the blurriest member of the Trinity: the Holy Spirit. Will grew up in a theology where the Spirit was, as he puts it, a weird third cousin nobody knew how to engage with. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Bible. But a series of life-altering events cracked that framework wide open. He walks through what it practically looks like to develop a rhythm of listening to the Spirit, starting with ten minutes of stillness each morning, getting curious about what you're feeling and why, and learning to distinguish between the voice of the inner critic and the invitation of the Father running out to meet the prodigal son. Will makes the case that spirit-led self-awareness, not the Oprah version but the kind where you never go inward alone because the Holy Spirit is already there, is the missing piece for most Christians who've reduced the faith to knowledge of God without ever learning to walk with Him.But the episode takes a sharp turn when Will shares a story he's never told publicly. His honeymoon ended in a New Orleans psych ward after a perfect storm of sleeplessness, stress, and praying alone over spiritual forces he had no business engaging with at 24 years old. What started as insomnia spiraled into hallucinations, his wife watching his eyes roll back and his body rise off the bed, cops breaking down the hotel door, and a commitment to the psychiatric unit where he was misdiagnosed and put on antipsychotics for two years. Will is honest about the intersection of mental health and spiritual warfare, how being physically compromised makes you vulnerable, how he believes he knocked on a door he wasn't meant to knock on, and how he now never does anything in the spiritual realm alone. The conversation lands on joy, not the dopamine hit happiness of circumstance, but the deep, guitar perfectly in tune kind of joy that comes from living in union with the Spirit, even in the middle of more sorrow than you ever anticipated. Will's life carries more of both than most, and his practical framework for hearing from God is one of the most grounded and accessible we've had on the show.

“How do I explain James 2 to Protestants?” This question opens a discussion on the Catholic understanding of faith and works, while also addressing how we determine the canon of Scripture and the role of tradition in the Church. Other topics include the significance of traditions like kissing the bishop’s ring and the implications of 2 Timothy 3:16-17 for interpreting Scripture. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 13:13 – How do we figure out the canon? Are the books self attesting. Why does the Holy Spirit give infallibility to the Church but the Holy Spirit does not give infallibility to individuals? 20:31 – I'm entering into the Church and recently met my bishop. Are traditions like kissing the bishop’s ring still necessary? Why or why not? 31:50 – How do I explain the Catholic approach to James 2 to Protestants? 42:11 – What are our areas of disagreement apart from Sola Scriptura? 49:11 – What does it mean when it says all scripture in 2 Timothy 3:16-17?
Forgiveness is one of the most difficult commands Jesus gives—and one of the most freeing. When someone deeply wounds us, the natural response is to hold tightly to the hurt. We replay the moment, rehearse the injustice, and quietly hope that somehow the person responsible will feel the weight of what they did. But unforgiveness slowly becomes its own prison. Galatians 5:1 reminds us that Christ set us free so we would no longer live in bondage. Yet when we hold onto bitterness, we place a yoke back on our own shoulders. The offense may have been real and painful, but the burden of carrying resentment can slowly consume our hearts. Forgiveness does not mean excusing wrongdoing or pretending the pain never happened. It does not mean that justice is ignored or that trust is instantly restored. Instead, forgiveness means releasing the right to hold someone’s offense over them and entrusting justice to God. Jesus demonstrated this ultimate act of mercy on the cross. Even as He was being crucified, He prayed for those who harmed Him. Through His sacrifice, our sins were forgiven completely—removed as far as the east is from the west. When we remember how much we have been forgiven, it reshapes how we approach the forgiveness of others. Unforgiveness isolates us from the freedom Christ intends for us. Bitterness quietly grows, affecting our peace, our relationships, and even our fellowship with God. But when we release that burden—sometimes slowly, sometimes painfully—we make room for healing. The Holy Spirit empowers us to forgive even when it feels impossible. Forgiveness is not a feeling we wait for; it is a step of obedience we choose. And when we choose it, we begin to experience the freedom Christ died to give us. Main Takeaways Unforgiveness creates emotional and spiritual bondage. Forgiveness releases the burden of bitterness and resentment. Forgiving does not excuse wrongdoing but entrusts justice to God. Christ’s sacrifice reminds us how deeply we have been forgiven. The Holy Spirit empowers believers to forgive even deep wounds.

Do signs, wonders, and miracles still happen today—or was that just for the early church? And if the supernatural is real, is it only for “special” Christians… or for you too?In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Jason Chin, missionary in Switzerland and founder of Love Says Go Ministries. Jason has seen God move through healing, prophecy, dreams, and visions all over the world, and he shares how the supernatural side of the Kingdom is meant to be a normal part of every believer's life.In this episode, we talk about:• Why the supernatural is for EVERY Christian—not just pastors or “anointed” leaders• How to begin seeing miracles and hearing God's voice in your everyday life• The crucial connection between character, humility, and spiritual gifts• What the Bible actually says about dreams, visions, angels, and demons• How “dreaming with God” opens your spiritual eyes and builds faith• A CRAZY deliverance story: instant breakthrough after forgiveness• Why you should never be impressed with the devil—only with Jesus• Practical ways to partner with the Holy Spirit for signs, wonders, and healingIf you've felt stuck in a powerless faith, afraid of deception, or unsure if God really wants to speak to you, this episode will stir up hope and give you practical keys to walk in the supernatural with wisdom and confidence.Want a practical tool to help you as you grow?

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 303), I walk through Joshua chapters 3 and 5 and what happens when God brings His people to a decisive moment. Israel stands at the Jordan after years of delay, and the Lord calls them to sanctify themselves, step forward in faith, and follow His presence into the unknown. Before the waters part, the priests must first step into the river. That is how obedience and miracles often work. This message is about the moment of God, when His voice cuts through confusion and calls us to clean out what hinders us, expect His supernatural power, and move when the Holy Spirit leads. The ground becomes holy wherever God is present, and when He speaks, it is never too late to respond. Leaders and believers alike must decide whose side they are on and move forward in faith. - Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - Joshua 3: Communication in the Bible(00:02:43) - Joshua and the Ark of the Covenant(00:06:08) - Joshua vs Jericho(00:07:42) - The Moment of God(00:12:54) - The Holy Spirit Wants to Clean Up Your Life(00:18:55) - God's Wonders in the World(00:24:18) - The Moment of God(00:29:16) - Joshua the Lord of Hosts
Trauma does not just live in your memories—it lives in your brain. In this powerful teaching, Kathy DeGraw reveals how trauma creates neural pathways, opens doors to torment and fear, and how the power of deliverance and renewing the mind can bring true healing and neurological restoration.

Personal coaching, deliverance, e-courses, training for ministry, and mentorships! https://www.kathydegrawministries.org/training/# In this episode of Prophetic Spiritual Warfare, Kathy DeGraw dives deep into the powerful connection between neuroscience, trauma, and spiritual deliverance. Many believers struggle with repeated cycles of fear, rejection, torment, and anxiety because trauma has created neurological survival loops in the brain. When painful experiences are repeatedly processed through negative thoughts, the brain forms neural pathways that expect fear, rejection, or trauma to happen again. These patterns can keep people trapped in mental strongholds and emotional pain. Kathy explains how the brain learns what it repeatedly experiences and how trauma can wire the mind for survival instead of faith. But through the power of the Holy Spirit, deliverance, and renewing the mind with God's truth, those neurological pathways can be retrained. As spiritual oppression is removed and truth replaces lies, new pathways of faith, hope, and peace begin to form. This episode also explores how demonic oppression often attaches to unresolved wounds and emotional pain, reinforcing negative thought patterns. Kathy shares practical strategies for healing trauma, identifying root causes through the Holy Spirit, journaling through emotional triggers, and partnering with God to renew the mind. You will also hear about Kathy's upcoming Neurological Healing and Mental Health Training, where she will teach how to address conditions such as autism, ADD, dementia, Parkinson's, and other neurological and mental health challenges from both a biblical and neuroscience perspective. This intensive training will equip believers, ministry teams, and families with powerful tools to bring healing and freedom to themselves and others. If you are battling trauma, fear, torment, anxiety, or mental strongholds, this teaching will help you understand how God designed the brain to heal and how deliverance and mind renewal can bring lasting transformation. #neuroscienceandfaith #traumahealing #deliveranceministry #renewthemind #spiritualwarfare **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!

A Prayer for When You are Running on Empty Do you ever feel overwhelmed by everything you’re trying to accomplish? The responsibilities of home, work, relationships, health, ministry, and rest can quickly pile up until our to-do lists feel suffocating.In this episode by Erika Owens, we are reminded that the Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own strength. Through Paul’s words in Ephesians, we see that God provides supernatural power through the Holy Spirit to accomplish the good works He has prepared for us. When we stop striving and surrender our plans to Him, we discover that God is able to do far more than we could ever accomplish on our own. Reference: Ephesians 3:20-21 Prayer: Almighty God, You are sovereign over all things. You are powerful, You are good, and You alone can overcome all my insufficiencies. Lately I have been so focused on checking off all the boxes and accomplishing all the things that I have forgotten to seek You for strength and guidance. All the striving has made me tired and weary. I need you, Jesus. Today, I surrender every item on my to-do list to You! You have promised to carry my heavy burdens and give me rest for my soul. Thank You for a fresh perspective and a renewed energy to do the good things You have planned for me. In Jesus’ mighty name, I pray. Amen.

Friends of the Rosary,We continue praying our Holy Rosary from Austin, Texas.In today's main reading of the Gospel (Matthew 18:21-35), Jesus tells a parable that illustrates God's compassion and mercy — misericordia, in Latin and Spanish, signifying the suffering of the heart.It is the characteristic of the infinite love of God, as He never forgets his offspring.The whole mystery of the divine mercy is beyond our human understanding. Nothing would exist were it not willed into being by God.And the greatest manifestation of divine mercy is the forgiveness of sins. As Bishop Barron says, “This is the greatest grace the Church can offer: reconciliation, the restoration of the divine friendship, the forgiveness of our sins.”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!

Psalms 1 & 2 E3 — So far in this short series, we've looked individually at Psalm 1 and Psalm 2. Now we'll look at them side by side. The art of meditating on Scripture involves appreciating every single paragraph, poem, and story, but then also considering what comes before and after, because the biblical authors put everything in this order for a reason! Looking at Psalms 1 and 2 next to each other we find many overlapping words and ideas, so reading both together is crucial for understanding each one individually. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore all the connections, not only between Psalms 1 and 2, but also between these psalms and many other places in the Hebrew Bible.
