In this devotional, Felicia discusses the importance of walking in confidence, rooted in faith and trust in God.

The message encourages listeners to recognize their worth and walk confidently in their purpose, supported by God's presence.TakeawaysThe Lord will be your confidence and keep you steady.True confidence is rooted in who God is, not in personal achievements.Confidence comes from trust, not from trying to control outcomes.Understanding your identity in Christ helps build confidence.God confidence is unshakable, unlike self-confidence which can waver.Walking in confidence means moving forward despite fear.Confidence is a declaration of God's strength working through you.You don't have to chase confidence; it is a gift from God.Your journey to confidence may involve learning and growth.Embrace your purpose with the assurance that God has cleared the path.

What if the identity you fought for still couldn't silence the battle inside?This episode uncovers a rarely heard testimony from Ted Halley—someone who FULLY transitioned, lived that reality for many years, and then found themselves unraveling emotionally and spiritually. As the weight of regret and depression grew, he experienced a moment of conviction that led him back to Jesus in a way he never expected. His "detransition" became not just a physical shift, but a spiritual rescue. He talks about how the demonic was part of his story, and the hope for those who feel there is no way out.Join us as we explore Christian transformation, identity in Christ, detransition journeys, and the deeper questions culture often avoids. A faith-filled, suspenseful story that challenges assumptions and points to redemption.-------------------------------------------Amy is a Christian counselor - book an appointment:https://www.biblicalguidancecounseling.com/appointmentsAmy's online Bible studies:https://rumble.com/c/BibleStudywithEyesontheright?e9s=src_v1_cmd

In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett Unclebach and Nick Surface revisit one of their most practical and transformative principles — Timeframe Orientation.Your timeframe determines your direction. Most people live in short-term cycles — 30-day paychecks, 12-month goals, and reactionary habits — but true success and spiritual maturity come when you learn to see further down the road.Garrett and Nick unpack how short-term thinking sabotages long-term growth in every area of life: parenting, marriage, health, business, and faith. Drawing from Scripture, personal stories, and leadership lessons, they show how extending your perspective aligns you with God's eternal timeline and helps you live with greater clarity, discipline, and purpose.

Gratitude, worship, identity in Christ, and purpose — discover how a sinful woman's gratitude turned her into a history-making worshiper. Your story isn't over. It's just getting sacred.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?"— Marianne WilliamsonSHOW NOTES EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS You are already complete: You can never be more co-raised or co-elevated than you are right now, co-seated with Christ. Our growth is only in the awareness of this truth. The Sanctuary is Personal: Your place of comfort is uniquely designed by God and reflects your true, beautiful self—the one He sees while sitting inside your spirit. Habitual Renewal is His Work: The consistent renewing of your mind happens by simply pondering the truth of your identity in Christ (Ephesians 4:23). Embrace the Sword of Zayin: Finding ultimate comfort requires allowing the "sword" of God's Word to cut away self-protective mechanisms (such as procrastination and sarcasm) that keep you feeling vulnerable and out of control. Life is too short, the world is too big, and God's love is too great to live ordinary. —Christine Cane

Send us a textPerfection cracks fast during the holidays—one party, one plate too many, one “I blew it” moment—and shame rushes in. In this episode, we take that story back. We talk about why God doesn't turn away when we stumble with food, and how His Word re-frames failure through compassion and truth. Psalm 103 and Psalm 32 remind us that God meets us in honesty, not disappointment. We also look at Colossians 2 and Titus 2 to see that grace isn't a pass—it's a teacher. Grace trains us toward self-control and peace, not through rules, but through relationship with the One who knows our hearts.We share our “holiday failure truth list” as a simple, powerful way to interrupt shame in real time: no condemnation in Christ, not disqualified by struggle, and this is not the end of the story. We walk through how to record your own truths, how to return to God quickly after a stumble, and how to learn from the moment without judgment. At the center of it all is identity—knowing who God is and who we are in Him changes everything. When we live from that truth, recovery comes faster, our choices grow gentler, and joy stretches far beyond the season.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

As believers, we are also overcomers; those who contend, conquer, and prevail in victory through Christ. The three most common areas the enemy seeks to set up strongholds in the lives of believers to keep us from overcoming are our understanding of the goodness of God, our identity in Christ, and our belief to see the goodness of God manifested in our own life. Being aware of the nature of the battles we face and all the provisions that God has made for us to be victorious in these battles is key to living an abundant life in Christ.

God’s love heals the deepest places. Discover identity in Christ, inner healing, and how to hear God without fear. What if disruption is actually an invitation from Love to begin again? In this heartfelt conversation, Catherine Toon and author Felicia Murrell explore how God’s love restores our true identity, calms our nervous system, and leads us into spiritual healing and wholeness. You’ll learn practical ways to move from self-judgment to compassion, from suspicion to curiosity, and from striving to experiencing God in the present moment. Felicia shares rich wisdom on listening to your body (“I am your body, and I want you to know…”) and how kindness helps us drop from fight/flight into peace. Together we unpack living from the Tree of Life instead of the knowledge of good and evil, holding both our ontological oneness and our beautiful differences—without diminishing anyone. Scripture threads include: Psalm 139 (God’s intimate design), Zephaniah 3:17 (Love sings over you), Luke 15 (coming to ourselves and turning toward home), and Ephesians 2:10 (God’s workmanship—His poem). The takeaway: when the “only way forward is toward,” we can move toward God, toward each other, and even toward our own hearts with grace. Practical application: Try Felicia’s prompt: “I am your body, and I want you to know…”—write unedited for 5 minutes. Notice what Love highlights. Ask: “Holy Spirit, what’s the most loving thing I can do right now?” This simple shift nurtures Christian identity, deepens spiritual transformation, and helps you hear God’s voice in everyday life.

Struggling with feelings of unworthiness? This teaching breaks down Ephesians 1:17-19, revealing the glorious inheritance awaiting you as a believer—unveiling your true potential.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Nov 18, 2025 You are not merely a believer attending services or reading scriptures—you are a living temple, the actual dwelling place where God has chosen to make His home. This isn't metaphorical language meant to inspire; it's the fundamental reality of your existence in Christ. Consider this: when Jacob laid his head on a stone and saw angels ascending and descending from heaven, he wasn't just witnessing a vision. He was seeing a prophetic picture of what you have become. That place he called "the house of God" and "the gate of heaven"—that's you. Angels ascend and descend through you. Heaven flows into earth through your very being. Every temple and tabernacle built in ancient times—from Moses' tent in the wilderness to Solomon's golden temple—was merely a shadow pointing to you. Notice how each one was filled with images of angels, gardens, and heavenly beings. Notice how glory fell when the priests shouted in unity. These weren't just historical buildings; they were prophetic illustrations of your spiritual architecture. The glory that filled those ancient structures already dwells within you. Christ Himself, who is the brightness of God's glory and the express image of His person, lives in your spirit right now. But here's what you must understand: this glory is meant to journey. It begins in your spirit, where it was deposited when you believed, but it must move into your conscious awareness, into your heart, and eventually manifest in your physical body. This journey requires your active participation. When you speak declarations like "Christ is in me" or "The glory of God dwells in me," you're not engaging in positive thinking—you're opening a door between your spirit and your consciousness. Your mouth becomes the gateway through which spiritual reality flows into mental and emotional awareness. This is why meditation on these truths isn't optional; it's the mechanism of transformation. Every time you pray in the Spirit, every time you declare your identity in Christ, you're exercising your consciousness to align with what already exists in your spirit. You're teaching your mind and heart to agree with what God has already accomplished. This isn't about becoming something you're not—it's about manifesting what you already are. The spots, wrinkles, and blemishes mentioned in Scripture aren't moral failures as much as they are areas where your union with Christ hasn't yet become tangible. Each day you choose faith over sight, each moment you declare truth over circumstances, you're allowing the glory within to consume another area of unbelief. This transformation is both a process and a destination. You're changing daily, becoming more aware of Christ within you, more conscious of your union with Him. Yet there will come a moment—in the twinkling of an eye—when this internal reality will fully manifest. The trumpet will sound not to bring something foreign but to reveal what has been growing within you all along. Until that day, your assignment is clear: Touch the glory within you. Don't just read about it or think about it—engage it. When you pray, don't just recite words; establish contact with the divine presence in your spirit. When you worship, don't just sing; let the rivers of living water flow from your innermost being. When you meditate on Scripture, don't just memorize; let the reality of Christ in you become more real than the chair you're sitting on. You are being sealed, marked, and claimed by the Holy Spirit each time you engage this reality. Like an owner marking their territory, God pours His essence upon you, declaring to all creation: "This one is Mine." Death cannot touch what God has sealed. Darkness cannot overcome where His glory dwells. Remember: you're not working toward becoming God's house—you already are. You're not trying to get Christ inside you—He's already there. You're simply learning to live from that reality, to let what's inside manifest outside, to allow the hope of glory to become the visible glory. This is your identity. This is your reality. This is your destiny: to be the living, breathing, walking temple of the Most High God, where heaven and earth meet, where angels ascend and descend, where the glory of God finds its home.

In this deeply personal and power-filled episode of Cat81 Radio, your host sits down with Robert “Taco” McAllister, a man whose remarkable journey spans continents, undersea vessels, the firehouse and ultimately into full-time service of the Lord. Born in Mexico as a sickly infant, Taco's life could have taken one path—but through the love of an extraordinary mother and relocation across the United States, his story was set on another. He went on to enlist in the U.S. Navy, serving aboard submarines. Later, he answered another call—joining the fire service for 31 years—entering the kind of brotherhood you know well. But perhaps most gripping is his spiritual transformation: from a young man facing the adversities of life, to one who now anchors his identity in Christ and uses his story as a testament of faith and redemption. Highlights for listeners: The adoption journey and how early frailty shaped his character.Transitioning from military discipline (in the silent, confined world of a submarine) to the chaos and courage of a firehouse.How service, sacrifice and faith intersected in his career and now in his walk with Christ.Practical take-aways for listeners: surviving hardship, embracing purpose, and finding hope when life is under pressure.Insights for men in service, first-responders, or anyone grappling with life's heavy load—and how faith can be the anchor. As Jaggy and Tedi, the studio cats purr in the background, this show offers both inspiration and solid ground.

Knowing who we are and why we were created requires that we understand and live from our identity in Christ rather than trying to become something through performance. Believers are already complete, holy, and righteous in Christ and need to align themselves with these truths rather than trying to achieve them. This true identity impacts various areas of life including marriage, work, and prayer. A key point is that guilt and shame act as "identity amnesia," causing believers to forget who they are in Christ.; coming out of hiding is therefore essential to defeating shame. For a successful life, we must learn to apply these identity truths. To support the ministry financially, text "CDMPodcast" to 74483 or visit www.worldchangers.org

Over-Functioning During the Holidays: Why Boundaries Matter More Than Ever Do you dread the holidays—not because you don't love your people—but because you're already feeling stretched thin, emotionally exhausted, and maybe even a little resentful? You're not alone. This week, Leslie Vernick and Coach Diana unpack what it looks like to stop over-functioning during the holidays by learning how to set boundaries—clearly, kindly, and biblically. From role-playing difficult conversations to exploring the internal guilt and fear many women wrestle with, this episode is packed with faith-filled insight and practical tools to help you protect your peace and prioritize what matters most. If you've ever felt selfish for saying “no” or guilty for disappointing others, this conversation will give you the clarity and courage you need to love well—without losing yourself. Key Takeaways 1. Boundaries Are God's Design, Not Rebellion Boundaries aren't selfish—they're sacred. God set boundaries in creation, and He calls us to do the same. Boundaries reflect His nature of order, peace, and love. When we set boundaries, we're not being harsh—we're honoring God's call to steward our time, energy, and hearts. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." – Proverbs 4:23 2. Love Without Boundaries Isn't Love—It's Control When we can't say no, our yes becomes meaningless. Love that's forced or rooted in fear isn't love at all—it's obligation. God never forces us into relationship with Him. He invites, never invades. In the same way, healthy love must include freedom and choice. 3. Role-Playing Real-Life Scenarios Builds Confidence Leslie and Diana walk through real examples—like refusing to host Christmas, saying no to dog-sitting, or sticking to a spending limit. Each scenario highlights how to express a firm and loving no without over-explaining, defending, or absorbing guilt. These scripts show how clarity and compassion can coexist. 4. You Are Not Responsible for Other People's Disappointment Someone else's sadness, frustration, or manipulation does not mean you've done something wrong. Healthy boundaries often expose unhealthy dynamics. When others push back, it reveals their reliance on your compliance—not your care. "Let them have their feelings. It's not your job to manage their emotions—it's your job to steward your obedience to God." 5. Practical Tools for Calming the Guilt and Holding the Line You'll learn how to: Prepare for pushback by getting clear with God ahead of time Use breathwork and body-awareness to stay calm under pressure Let silence do the heavy lifting after you've stated your boundary Anchor your identity in Christ, not someone else's approval Use simple scripts to hold a boundary without getting defensive A Personal Invitation Are the holidays bringing up anxiety instead of joy? If you're tired of the pressure to perform, please others, or over-function to keep the peace, Leslie's resources can help you create emotional and spiritual breathing room. Register now for Leslie's free workshop: Change Your Story, Change Your Life: Moving from Breakdown to Breakthrough Thursday, December 4th at 12pm or 7:30pm ET leslievernick.com/stuck Final Encouragement Friend, you don't have to be everything to everyone this holiday season. You don't need to hustle for love or sacrifice your sanity to make others happy. Boundaries aren't walls to shut people out—they're gates that let love in. You are allowed to protect your peace. You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to say no—with kindness, clarity, and courage. And when you do? You'll be saying a much bigger yes to God, to emotional wholeness, and to the kind of love that sets both you and others free. You've got this—with God's help.  

The final week of the Divine Design series focuses on sexual temptation. With the key idea being that “sex is different”. Followers of Jesus should approach sexual temptation by grounding their identity in Christ as children of God. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 6 and Matthew 5, we see that while culture may say “I have the right to do anything,” not everything is beneficial, and sexual sin uniquely affects a person's own body. Because sex unites two people into “one flesh,” believers are called to treat their bodies as belonging to the Lord and empowered by His resurrection life. Scripture commands Christians to flee sexual immorality, take temptation seriously, and remove anything that leads them into sin, as Jesus' strong language about cutting off what causes stumbling illustrates. Overall, sex is spiritually significant, sexual sin is uniquely damaging, and God calls His people to resist temptation through decisive action and a clear understanding of who we are in Christ.

In Part 3 of the Tremendous Love series, Pastor Maurice Johnson teaches on one of the most unshakable truths in Scripture: God loves you so deeply that He will never strip you of your identity in Christ. Your identity isn't fragile, temporary, or based on your behavior. It was established before the foundation of the world—chosen, adopted, accepted, and sealed by God Himself. Through powerful passages such as Ephesians 1, John 16 and 17, Isaiah 54, and Hebrews 13, this message unfolds the permanence of God's adoption, the unchanging nature of His favor, and the reality that the same love the Father has for Jesus is the love He has for you. Pastor Maurice explains how God sees you as holy and blameless, how He corrects you in love rather than wrath, and how His covenant toward you is more stable than the mountains themselves. If you've ever questioned your standing with God, struggled with shame, or wondered whether your failures disqualify you, this teaching will anchor you. Discover why God will never abandon you, why your identity cannot be undone, and how to walk confidently in the redemption, righteousness, and inheritance you have in Christ. This message will strengthen your faith, renew your assurance, and root you deeper in the tremendous love of God.   We are thrilled to have you with us! Join us every Sunday at 11 AM for a powerful time of worship, teaching, and community. Our current gathering location is:

Most of our pain comes from the stories we tell ourselves - not the people around us. When we stop taking things personally and choose gratitude over judgement, we begin interpreting life through our identity in Christ rather than our ego. This renewed lens produces peace, clarity, and emotional freedom.

In this Monday's sermon episode, Walk In The Light, Bowen Robin of Brothers Just Searching encourages believers to live as shining examples of Jesus in a darkened world. Drawing from Ephesians 5:8, he reminds listeners that being a light for Christ means refusing to conform to the ways of the world and instead boldly reflecting what Jesus has done in our lives. Through heartfelt teaching and practical insight, Bowen challenges us to walk in the truth, stand firm in our identity in Christ, and let His light shine through every part of our daily walk.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review

In this lecture, the speaker begins by reading a passage from Colossians chapter 3, focusing on the transformative power of embracing a new identity in Christ. The discussion centers around the importance of shedding old behaviors and characteristics that are incompatible with this new life and adopting qualities that reflect Christ's teachings. The initial verses emphasize the necessity of renouncing sinful actions—including anger, slander, and moral impurities—that historically characterized pre-Christian lives. The speaker urges the congregation to recognize these behaviors as detrimental to individual spiritual health and communal harmony, advocating for a profound, introspective understanding of one's true identity.The metaphor of clothing features prominently in this lecture, illustrating the concept that individuals must "take off" their old selves—analogous to wearing dirty, worn-out clothes—and put on a new self that embodies kindness, humility, patience, and love. This transformative process is not merely about abandoning negative traits; it is fundamentally about replacing them with positive new qualities that foster a thriving community. The speaker outlines that new community dynamics require individuals to undergo a deliberate transformation, emphasizing intentionality and an inward focus on character renewal. Furthermore, the lecture discusses the transition from simply “dialing down” undesirable attributes to actively replacing them with constructive behaviors. This shift is complemented by shared experiences of community members, highlighting real-life examples where intentionality in treating others with kindness leads to tangible improvements in relationships. The speaker stresses that living in community demands both endurance and forgiveness, especially as individuals encounter the quirks and flaws of one another. Central to this discussion is the assertion that our new identity in Christ binds us together in love and necessitates our commitment to forgiving others, drawing on stories like that of St. Moses to illustrate the profound impact of recognizing one's own faults before judging others.As the exploration continues, the speaker links the themes of forgiveness and gratitude, outlining them as crucial elements for cultivating a loving community. Forgiveness is depicted as an ongoing practice, essential for maintaining unity and peace among members of the church. The necessity of grace—“pouring out grace” on those who offend us—is underscored, moving the audience to reflect on their own experiences of receiving forgiveness and the imperative to extend that same grace to others. Through emphatic anecdotes and relatable storytelling, the speaker encourages the congregation to actively engage in this grace-fueled community-building process.Toward the conclusion, the message highlights gratitude as the foundational response to the experience of forgiveness. The implications of living a life imbued with thankfulness not only nourish individual spirits but also create a conducive environment for healthy community interactions. The speaker references contemporary studies to underscore how gratitude can significantly diminish negative behaviors, thereby reinforcing the biblical tenet that gratitude leads to an enriched community life.In wrapping up the teaching, the speaker invites the congregation to partake in communal rituals—drawing on the shared meal as a representation of unity and forgiveness. This is presented as a profound moment of collective remembrance, where participants not only acknowledge Christ's sacrifice but also commit to fostering a culture of love and forgiveness. The closing reflects a communal aspiration to embody the lessons of transformation, forgiveness, and gratitude, urging every attendee to actively participate in building a new humanity through Christ.

Text: Genesis 21:1-34   God's Promise is Fulfilled (Gen. 21:1-7) God proves to be true to His Word as Isaac is born to Abraham and Sarah. Isaac's name (laughter) is proof of God's grace to Abraham and Sarah.   God's Promise is Preserved (Gen. 21:8-21) God sets apart Isaac as the one in whom the promise would be fulfilled. God's electing grace and common grace are on display with Isaac and Ishmael. Galatians 4:21-31 portrays this event as an allegory and how it applies to the Gospel and our identity in Christ.   God's Promise is Progressing (Gen. 21:22-34) Abimelech's treaty with Abraham proves that God's promise of land to Abraham's offspring continues to advance. As Abraham plants a tree in Beersheba, he is planting his faith in an everlasting God who keeps His promises.

In this powerful message, Tony Evans teaches that believers are not meant to live powerless, overwhelmed lives. God has given His children spiritual authority—the right and the responsibility—to stand against obstacles, adversity, and impossibilities through His power. Evans explains that this authority is rooted in our identity in Christ. Because Jesus has conquered sin, death, and the enemy, we share in His victory. When we align our lives under God's rule and speak His Word in faith, mountains begin to move, circumstances shift, and breakthroughs occur. He emphasizes that authority is activated by obedience, prayer, and believing that God truly meant what He said. When believers operate under divine authority, the impossible becomes possible—not by human strength, but by the power of the One who rules heaven and earth. A motivating reminder that you are not helpless—you have Kingdom authority to confront, overcome, and move what stands in your way. Jag, Tedi, and I are so glad you tuned in today!

The sermon opens with a profound exploration of identity and spiritual transformation, centered on the Apostle Paul's self-description as a 'doulos'—a bound servant of Jesus Christ—highlighting the radical surrender required of every believer. It emphasizes that true discipleship involves a complete submission of one's will to Christ, mirroring the disciplined obedience of a soldier in boot camp, and contrasts this with the enslavement to sin from which Christ delivers us through His death and resurrection. The message underscores the theological significance of Christ's name—Jesus, meaning 'Jehovah saves,' and Christ, meaning 'the Anointed One'—revealing His divine nature and redemptive mission. It defines the Christian as a 'saint,' not by achievement but by divine separation from sin and dedication to God, rooted in the new birth and sustained by faith in Christ. The sermon calls listeners to a life of responsive obedience, where the Word of God functions as both a lamp to guide and a light to illuminate the path, urging believers to live in the reality of their new identity in Christ.

Colossians 3:15-17 | November 16, 2025 | Pastor Josh GoertzenThis powerful message from Colossians 3:15-17 reminds us that our identity in Christ fundamentally shapes how we live. We're called to three transformative pursuits: pursuing God's peace by extending to others the same undeserved kindness God showed us; pursuing God's word by letting it dwell richly within us, not just as principles but as a means to behold the precious person of Jesus Christ; and pursuing God's glory by making Him known in everything we do. The sermon beautifully illustrates how we become what we behold—if we're captivated by Jesus through His word, we'll be transformed into His likeness. Our singing isn't just vertical worship but horizontal encouragement, carrying one another to Jesus when we're too weary to go ourselves. The call is clear: let our passion be single, living solely to magnify Jesus so others might see Him as precious to their souls.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

Pastor Jim teaches from Ephesians 5 and calls listeners to live as children of light who redeem their days, know God's will, and walk in the Spirit. Jim explains that wisdom is more than knowledge or behavior; it is wanting what God wants and aligning our lives with His desires. He challenges listeners to see each moment as an opportunity to pull what is broken out of darkness and into the light, to discern God's moral will through Scripture, and to remain filled with the Spirit by soaking in the gospel. Rather than being swept along by culture or religious noise, Jim reminds us that wisdom grows as we walk with the Spirit in everyday choices, allowing God's light to shape how we live, love, and worship. When we root our lives in Christ, we not only see clearly but begin to reflect that light into the world around us.

This week, Superintendent Thomas George reminds us that our true identity isn't found in the world's labels but in Christ alone. From 2 Corinthians 5:17, he calls us to embrace the truth that we are new creations—made by God, for God, and for His glory. The world's identity markers divide and disappoint, but God's identity unites, restores, and gives purpose. As beloved children, citizens of heaven, and ambassadors of the King, we're called to live every day—at home, at work, and in conflict—fully aligned with who Jesus declares us to be. Join us as we rediscover who we are in Him.

In this special Thanksgiving-themed episode of Journey of Hope, host Elio Constantine sits down with Camille Melki, Heart for Lebanon's CEO and Co-Founder, for a heartfelt conversation about gratitude, discipleship, and the faithfulness of God in the midst of Lebanon's ongoing challenges.Together, Elio and Camille reflect on the importance of gratitude—not only as a holiday tradition in the United States, but as a spiritual discipline for believers everywhere. Camille shares how he first encountered Thanksgiving as a young university student in the U.S. and how the practice of pausing, reflecting, and expressing thanks shaped his life and leadership.Their conversation unfolds into a rich exploration of gratitude on multiple levels: gratitude to God, to Heart for Lebanon's faithful investors, and to the dedicated team in Lebanon serving in some of the most difficult circumstances in the region.Camille emphasizes how vital it is to stop, acknowledge God's protection and provision, and recognize the blessing of being chosen to serve others through the ministry.Three Areas of Gratitude Camille outlines the ministry's posture of thankfulness in three key areas: Gratitude to God: for protection, resilience, wisdom, and the privilege of participating in the transformation He is bringing to Lebanon and the Middle East—despite instability, conflict, and fear. Camille speaks powerfully about God's peace in the storms and His continued favor on the ministry since its founding in 2006.Gratitude for Heart for Lebanon's Investors: Elio and Camille highlight the profound impact of those who pray, give, and even visit Lebanon to serve. Camille refers to them as “investors” because their generosity is an investment in eternity—impacting lives they may never meet until heaven. Their encouragement, prayers, and involvement often arrive at the exact moment the team needs strength.Gratitude for the Team: With more than 80 staff members living and serving across Lebanon's crisis-stricken regions, Camille expresses deep appreciation for their resilience, compassion, and commitment to sharing the Gospel. Their work is not transactional—it is relational, innovative, and rooted in a calling to make disciples in hard-to-reach places and among diverse communities. A Story of Transformation Elio shares the story of Maysa, a Syrian woman from a deeply conservative and radical Muslim background who found value, dignity, and new identity in Christ through Heart for Lebanon's discipleship programs. Today, she is helping lead Bible studies in communities where the Gospel has historically been inaccessible. Her transformation is a testament to God's work—through the ministry team and through the generosity of investors. Practical Gratitude Camille closes with simple, tangible practices of daily gratitude: • Beginning each day with, “Thank you, God, for life and freedom.” • Expressing thanks to neighbors, friends, children, and parents. • Recognizing the everyday blessings we often overlook. • Taking time to reach out to someone with a message of appreciation.

How do we help kids open up about their day—really open up—so we can guide their hearts, not just manage their behavior? In today's episode, we explore why the classic parent question, "How was your day?" almost always leads to a dead end, and how we can replace it with questions that actually build connection, confidence, and identity. Drawing from Dr. Kathy Koch's deep insight into child development, we look at why kids often shut down when they come home from school, what their silence might be telling us, and how timing, tone, and relational approach matter more than the words themselves. Dr. Kathy explains how performance-centered questions unintentionally send the message that grades matter more than character, and she challenges parents to ask questions that explore who their child was during the day—not just what they did. Together, we unpack better conversation starters that help kids reflect, process emotions, develop humility, grow in problem-solving, and see where God showed up in their lives. We also discuss five identity-based categories—intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and spiritual—and how to engage each one meaningfully. You'll learn about a simple "Go Fish" dinner-table activity that brings the whole family into the conversation and how three words—curious, confused, confident—can reshape the way you talk with your kids about school. Wayne also reflects on a powerful moment from John 21, where Jesus asks Peter three times, "Do you love me?" Instead of shaming Peter, Jesus restores him. That same pattern—gentle, repeated questions that lead to deeper truth—shows us that good questions don't interrogate a child; they bless them. They help them see who they are becoming. This episode is an encouraging, practical guide for parents, grandparents, and caregivers who want to build stronger connections, nurture identity in Christ, and create moments of reflection that shine a bright light through the emotional fog kids sometimes carry home. You'll walk away with new tools, new questions, and a renewed sense of hope as you shepherd your children's hearts.
