Nathan continues our teaching series on Hunger for God. In part 4 of this series, he looks at how the Holy Spirit declares (or amplifies) 12 truths about Jesus and what He has done for us and helps us to understand, taste and experience this Jesus.

What happens when your understanding of sacrifice, worship, and commitment to God is completely challenged?In this powerful clip from Episode 82 of The Hacka Podcast, Tevita Uate shares the life-changing experience that reshaped his perspective on ministry. During a trip to Papua New Guinea, he witnessed young people arriving hours before service, believers walking incredible distances to worship, and a level of hunger for God that left him deeply convicted.One story in particular changed him forever: a group of young people who walked eight days just to attend a youth conference.Their passion, sacrifice, and love for God challenged every excuse and every complaint Tevita had ever carried. This is a testimony that will inspire you to pursue God with greater passion and gratitude.Watch the full clip and ask yourself: How hungry am I for the things of God?

Katie continues our teaching series on Hunger for God. In part 3 of this series, she asks us how much is reading the bible a priority in our lives. And then goes on to explain that the bible is from God, and His was to communicate with us. And using a pssage from the bible (2 Timithy 3:16-17) shows us how the bible can equip us foe everything we do.

Si continues our teaching series on Hunger for God. In part 2 of this series, her emphasises that every human heart is already deeply hungry for God, but we constantly stumble by trying to fill that inner void with worldly things that can never truly satisfy us. But in all of these things, we're lacking intimacy with God himself.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Van Gelderen challenges young people to pray for revival, not merely as something God did in the past, but as something He still desires to do today. Reflecting on the history of revival in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, and the heart cry of Psalm 85:6, he reminds listeners that revival begins personally before it spreads corporately. True revival is not earned by human effort, but received through thirst, trust, humility, and dependence on the God who delights to revive His people. Topics Discussed The history of God's reviving work in places now spiritually forgotten The prayer of Psalm 85:6: “Wilt thou not revive us again?” Why young people should pray for revival in their school, youth group, church, and community The Welsh revival story and the reminder that “the revival is in here” The meaning of personal revival as Christ's abundant life in the believer Two essentials for personal revival: thirsting for God and trusting Him to work How revival produces rejoicing, truth, righteousness, and holiness from the inside out Why revival is not something we deserve, but a mercy God gives The importance of dealing honestly and biblically with sin A testimony of God moving in a Christian school camp and stirring a lifelong burden for revival The difference between simply “getting by” and living in the presence and power of God Key Takeaways Revival is not just a historical event to admire; it is a present need to pray for. Corporate revival begins with individual believers who are personally revived. A young person does not have to settle for dull, distracted, subnormal Christianity. Personal revival begins with a thirsty heart that wants God and a trusting heart that believes Him. Revival produces more than emotion; it produces truth, righteousness, holiness, and a passion for Christ. God's reviving work is an act of mercy, not something we earn or deserve. The presence of God changes everything. When God “steps in the room,” hearts are humbled, sins are confessed, burdens are born, and lives are changed. The right prayer is still, “Wilt thou not revive us again?” If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

Morning Worship: Psalm 63, Pastor Matt Koerber

2026-05-03 : Craig Cooper – The Next Movement is a Hunger for God

https://kfmedia.blob.core.windows.net/audio/burgess

True believers hunger and thirst for righteousness, which is desperately yearning for right things that are pleasing to God. 1. Christians do not give up and drift along, but rather we keep caring passionately about making things right. (v.6a) 2. Seeking righteousness is seeking a perfect relationship with God, who is the source of all good things. (v.6a) 3. It is God alone who fills and satisfies us; how badly do we desire Him? (v.6b) Considering this teaching, how do we respond? How can we view ourselves accurately? Is. 55:1-3, Heb. 4:12-13 Where do we get righteousness? 2 Cor. 5:21, Rom. 5:21 When will we hunger no more? Mt. 6:33, Rev. 7:16

Do you practice Fasting as a believer? Do you walk with God? Do you want to walk with God more intimately? Do you want to have a greater impact for the furtherance of God's Kingdom? Will you incorporate fasting into your Christian experience?

Today on Bold Steps Minute, Pastor Mark explains why you may not “feel hungry” for God—because you’ve been filled with substitutes.

Hunger for God: Selfless King JesusLuke 4 & Luke 19Pastor Steve Poole1. Fasting prepares us to resist temptation. • James 4:7 • God > me • “Here we see the most significant difference between Jesus and Adam: Jesus believed God. Let me say it again. It is not simply that Jesus believed in God, but he believed God.” ~ R. C. Sproul2. Fasting increases our hunger for God.3. Fasting prepares us to live out God's purpose for our lives. (Romans 12:1)NEXT STEPS1. Believe in King Jesus for salvation.2. Fast this week and ask God to increase your hunger for His will.3. Reflect on these journal questions: How am I living out my purpose, calling and identity in Christ?  What does it look like to offer myself as a living sacrifice? (Romans 12:1)JOURNAL - How am I living out my purpose, calling and identity in Christ? What does it look like to offer myself as a living sacrifice?MEDITATE -“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” ~Ephesians 2:4-10PRAY - Father, help us to hunger more for you. Let your will become our will. Give us the strength to walk by the Spirit and do the good works you prepared for us to do.

Youth Fire Conference 2026 | Day 2 | Session 1 Growth in life with God is not accidental—it is the result of intentional pursuit, humility, and a willingness to be transformed. Many struggle not because they lack desire, but because their attention is divided. True communion requires stillness, focus, and the alignment of spirit, soul, and body toward God. It is not enough to pray or read occasionally; one must learn to *be with Him*, to engage deeply and consistently until His presence becomes the central reality. The journey begins with humility—the recognition that longevity in faith does not equal maturity. Transformation comes when one becomes teachable, willing to unlearn, relearn, and adjust. Even something as simple as asking requires growth; effective prayer flows from relationship, not routine. When the heart is fully engaged and the mind undistracted, requests become aligned, and answers begin to manifest. Many of the struggles people face—whether in purity, relationships, or personal discipline—are not solved by external effort alone. They are rooted in what fills the mind. Whatever occupies the inner life will eventually shape actions. If the mind is saturated with distractions, impulses will follow; if it is renewed by truth, righteousness becomes natural. The battle is not merely behavioral—it is directional. What you consistently look at, listen to, and meditate on will determine the life you produce. Grace must be understood correctly. It is not permission to fall repeatedly; it is the empowerment and instruction to rise above sin entirely. It teaches, disciplines, and strengthens. The life of Christ, His suffering, His death, and His resurrection all point to a new reality: the old nature has been dealt with, and a new life has been given. Living in that reality requires awareness, knowledge, and deliberate alignment. Without understanding, one may remain bound to patterns that have already been broken. Relationships reflect spiritual depth. Where individuals are not grounded in truth, conflict becomes inevitable. But where lives are shaped by Christ, peace, unity, and strength emerge naturally. The solution to relational struggles is not merely communication techniques, but transformation of character. When both individuals are committed to pleasing God above themselves, harmony becomes the outcome rather than the goal. Inner wounds, fear, rejection, and low self-worth distort perception and influence behavior. Healing is not optional—it is essential. It comes through understanding identity, embracing the love of God, and intentionally inviting restoration. Without healing, life is filtered through pain; with healing, vision becomes clear and freedom follows. Forgiveness becomes possible, confidence is restored, and fear loses its hold. Spiritual realities cannot be ignored. There are forces that influence behavior and patterns beyond the natural level. However, authority has been given to overcome them. Victory requires awareness, spiritual engagement, and the exercise of that authority. At the same time, discipline and wisdom must accompany power—removing triggers, setting boundaries, and making decisions that protect growth. Transformation is not passive; it demands action. Certain influences must be cut off, even when it feels painful. Patterns must be disrupted. Environments must be changed. Growth often requires sacrifice—the willingness to let go of what feeds weakness in order to embrace what builds strength. This is not loss; it is refinement. No one thrives in isolation. Strength is multiplied in accountability, honesty, and community. When struggles are hidden, they gain power; when they are exposed in the right environment, they begin to lose it. Agreement with others creates strength, support, and stability. Vulnerability is not weakness—it is a strategy for victory. Ultimately, the goal is a life fully governed by God—where thoughts, desires, and actions are shaped by His presence. This life is marked by hunger, discipline, and continuous transformation. It is a life where righteousness is not forced but flows naturally, where freedom is sustained, and where purpose is lived out with clarity and power.

Journal about your experience. Use this prompt: What is my usual response/behavior when I am frustrated? JOURNALWhat is my usual response/behavior when I am frustrated?MEDITATE“If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great.” - John Piper, A Hunger for God. “Fasting might be the best way for many of us to seal the moment; fasting for a day might be what we most need to change our own pathetic passivity in the face of famine.” - Scot McKnight, Fasting. “God is not merely concerned with what we do but why we do it. A right act may be robbed of all its value in the sight of God if it is done with a wrong motive.” - Arthur Wallis, God's Chosen Fast. PRAY - Ask God to reshape your heart so that you desire the same things God desires.

Hunger For God: DiscernmentPastor Kent LandhuisTHEME - Fasting removes noise and clutter so that we can discern God's will.TEXT - Acts 13:1-3LENTEN INVITATION - Focus less on lesser things to focus more on greater things.1. Noise is a problem. • Philippians 4:6-8 • Psalm 10:1-4 • John 10:1-52. Fasting is a solution. (Acts 13:1-3) • Fasting clears noise. • Fasting opens ears. • Fasting softens hearts.NEXT STEPS1. Skip a meal (or meals). Typical fast days are Wednesdays and Fridays as a way to identify with the suffering of Jesus who was betrayed on Wednesday, crucified on Friday.2. In the time you'd normally grocery shop, cook, eat, or clean up--pray. Let your desire for food point you to Jesus.3. Drink tons of water to stay hydrated. If you normally drink coffee, you may want to still have coffee to avoid a caffeine headache, but just have it black.4 The more time given to prayer and reflection, the better. Make it your goal to slow down the day you fast. Be still and listen.5. Journal about your experience. Use these prompts: What desires control me? What clutters my soul?

Hunger for God: Fasting & Power  Pastor Steve Poole1. Power comes from Jesus. Mark 9:19 2. Power comes by faith. Mark 9:23 3. Power comes through prayer and fasting. Ezra 8:21-23Esther 4:16“Whenever men are to pray to God concerning any great matter, it would be expedient to appoint fasting along with prayer.” John CalvinNEXT STEPS1. Come to Jesus and believe in Him.2. Fast and pray this week.3. Journal and reflect on the following questions: • What passion is God stirring in your heart as you fast this week? • Why haven't I seen God's power do ________?JOURNAL1. What passion is God stirring in your heart as you fast this week?2. Why haven't I seen God's power do ________?MEDITATE“... fasting synchronizes the longings of the body with the longings of the soul. It uses hunger in the body, to amplify hunger for God in the soul. …it will intensify your prayers like nothing else can.” (D. Bryan Rhodes Grace Presbyterian Church - Alexandria, LA)“Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, ‘I believe; help my unbelief!'” ~ Mark 9:24PRAYFather, I believe. Help me with my unbelief! Help me to hunger more for you and your will to be done. We trust “the hand of our God is for good on all who seek him…”

Blaise Pascal described a universal hole in the soul as a Godshaped vacuum. Alister McGrath describes Pascal's model as “a God-shaped emptiness within us, which only God can fill. We may try to fill it in other ways and with other things. Yet one of the few certainties of life is that nothing in this world satisfies our longing for something that is ultimately beyond this world.” Teenagers are no different from anyone else. Their great need is to have this God-shaped emptiness filled by God. If you listen and look closely, you'll see and hear that their music, films, social media, and very lives are crying out for spiritual wholeness. Over the years I've had the privilege of working with thousands of teenagers. I can't remember a single one who didn't exhibit this thirst for God. Each of us can look directly into the eyes of the teenagers we know and love and be certain this is their reality, too. Even when they don't recognize it as such, we can rest in the assurance their hunger is for heaven.

Is your spiritual appetite gone? Have the things of this world dulled your hunger for God? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Greg Mitchell reveals how spiritual hunger is lost—and how it can be restored. Drawing from Proverbs 27:7, he illustrates how feeding on the world, money, and comfort can leave us numb to God's best. But there's hope: through fasting, prayer, and repentance, we can get our hunger back and experience fresh breakthrough and revival. Includes powerful testimonies of miracles, healing, and restored families.Chapters00:00 – Intro: Junk Food and Spiritual Appetites01:50 – The Power of Hunger: What Drives You03:38 – Signs of True Spiritual Hunger05:38 – How We Ruin Our Appetite for God07:15 – The Dangers of Feeding on the World09:09 – When Money Replaces God11:24 – God's Warning: You've Lost Your Appetite13:16 – How to Get Your Hunger Back15:33 – Crises That Stir Spiritual Desperation17:28 – Repentance: Turning Back to God19:54 – Fasting: A Biblical Key to Restoring Desire21:52 – Even the Bitter Can Taste Sweet23:38 – Fasting Clears the Way for God to Speak25:37 – Breakthrough Miracles Through Fasting27:35 – Testimonies of Fasting and Miraculous Change31:16 – A Child's Prayer Brings a Father to Church33:09 – Invitation: Return to God TodayShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

What do you want for Christmas? This is the question we ask our friends and family to make sure we give the perfect gift. As we head into a season of gift giving, Ed and Wayne spotlight Ed's favorite listener story about a man with a fundamental request…hearing God's Word. Listen this week to a true epic story based on several letters sent to FEBC that started with a humble request for a radio.  When he heard God's word, over time his heart was changed. And this heart change grew even in the face of serious obstacles. As we start the Christmas season, have your heart inspired to proclaim the truth of the perfect gift given to us in the birth of Jesus…Until All Have Heard. 

What does it mean to fast, and why does Scripture tie it so closely to prayer? In this episode, Dot and Cara open Matthew 4:1–4 and talk about fasting not as a way to manipulate God, but as a way to draw near, remove distractions, and realign our hearts with His will. Together they explore how biblical fasting differs from today's health trends, how hunger can point us back to prayer, and how this practice can tune our hearts to trust God more deeply. Grab your Bible, a journal, and a cup of coffee, and join this conversation about dependence, desire, and hearing from God!Got a question about today's episode or something else you'd like to hear us talk about on the show?

And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written,“‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”

The secret to obeying God isn't doing more; it's wanting more. On this episode of Not Just Sunday, Patrick and Keith explore the second step to becoming a saint: developing a genuine hunger for God. They discuss why your desires drive your behavior, how even good things can miscalibrate your heart, and why the secret to obeying God isn't trying harder, but learning to love him more than anything else. You'll learn how to audit your desires, realign your habits, and cultivate a heart that longs for God. From prayer and fasting to godly community, this episode gives practical steps for redirecting your affection toward the One who changes hearts.

Drawing from Proverbs 27:7, he illustrates how feeding on the world, money, and comfort can leave us numb to God's best. But there's hope: through fasting, prayer, and repentance, we can get our hunger back and experience fresh breakthrough and revival. Includes powerful testimonies of miracles, healing, and restored families.Chapters00:00 – Intro: Junk Food and Spiritual Appetites01:50 – The Power of Hunger: What Drives You03:38 – Signs of True Spiritual Hunger05:38 – How We Ruin Our Appetite for God07:15 – The Dangers of Feeding on the World09:09 – When Money Replaces God11:24 – God's Warning: You've Lost Your Appetite13:16 – How to Get Your Hunger Back15:33 – Crises That Stir Spiritual Desperation17:28 – Repentance: Turning Back to God19:54 – Fasting: A Biblical Key to Restoring Desire21:52 – Even the Bitter Can Taste Sweet23:38 – Fasting Clears the Way for God to Speak25:37 – Breakthrough Miracles Through Fasting27:35 – Testimonies of Fasting and Miraculous Change31:16 – A Child's Prayer Brings a Father to Church33:09 – Invitation: Return to God TodayShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!
