In this compelling episode of "Redeemed Through His Blood," hosts Scott and David Durfey engage in a profound discussion about the Fall, its impact on humanity, and the transformative power of gratitude. As the conversation unfolds, the Durfeys explore the paradox of our fallen nature and the redemptive role of Jesus Christ. They contemplate the significance of Thanksgiving, reflecting deeply on personal gratitude, and discuss how this time of year brings a heightened awareness of what it truly means to be thankful. The episode uniquely ties the concept of the Fall in the Garden of Eden to our daily spiritual struggles and the constant need for Jesus Christ's atonement. Listeners are invited to re-examine the story of Adam and Eve, not as an act of defiance, but as a crucial step in God's plan for redemption. This episode is a thought-provoking journey that encourages listeners to acknowledge their own weaknesses while finding strength and identity in Christ's sacrifice. Whether discussing scriptural insights or personal experiences, Scott and David's conversation is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of gratitude in our spiritual lives and the profound impact of the Atonement.

“Christ's power is more than sufficient to enable every believer to live the transformed Christ-filled life and help us deal with every situation in life.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonWe are walking through every book in the Bible, discovering the theological context, themes, and application contained in each book. In this episode, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany cover the letter of Paul to the Colossians and what we can learn about the preeminence of Christ, His sufficiency, and our identity in Him. [00:01 - 11:18] An Introduction to Colossians The letter to the Colossians was written by the Apostle Paul around 62 AD during his imprisonment in Rome, alongside Ephesians and Philemon.The letters were sent to their destinations with Tychicus and Onesimus.An unexcavated site near modern Honas in Turkey, Colossae is mentioned only once in the Bible (Colossians 1:2), and Paul likely never visited it.Paul was informed by Epaphras, believed to be the leader of the Colossian church, about dangerous teachings diminishing Christ's role and undermining believers' identity in Christ. Paul wrote to warn against this false teaching and to encourage Christian growth and maturity.[11:19 - 19:06] Theological Themes of ColossiansThe preeminence and sufficiency of Christ. Paul presents Christ as the center of the universe, the active creator, and the recipient of creation, embodying the fullness of the Godhead.Christ's sufficiency. Christ's power is more than sufficient for any situation believers face.Christ is the source of all spiritual wisdom and understanding.Paul often expresses thanksgiving in his letters, appreciating the faith, hope, and love within the Christian community. Faith, Hope, and Love.Pay special attention to the words faith, love, and hope. Paul was a huge fan of this Trinity of superlatives, and they appear often in his writings.[19:07 -21:13] Closing Up Next week we will be learning about 1 Chronicles! Quotes:"Paul presents Christ as the center of the universe, not only as the active creator but also as the recipient of creation." – Pastor Jeff Cranston"Christ is the source of all knowledge, of all spiritual wisdom, and of all understanding." – Pastor Jeff CranstonResources MentionedMichael Trainor: Colossae—Colossal in Name Only?Join the ConversationWe love your feedback!

How can we find purpose in seasons of uncertainty? Today's exciting new episode offers encouragement and insights for navigating uncertain seasons with grace and purpose from featured guest Grace Wabuke Klein, a speaker, author, and co-leader of Focus 412 ministry. Grace recently released a powerful book titled "Flourish: Finding Purpose in the Unknown and Unexpected Seasons of Life." During our conversation with Grace, she shared her personal journey of finding purpose and meaning amidst seasons of uncertainty and struggle. She spoke about her experience of growing up in a Christian home in Uganda during the tumultuous time of Ediamin's dictatorship. Grace's parents relied on prayer for protection as they made the difficult decision to leave Uganda, seeking a safer future for their family. Upon arriving in the United States, Grace and her family faced racism and discrimination, including being asked to leave a church because of their race. Despite these hardships, Grace's parents modeled forgiveness and unwavering faith, teaching her valuable lessons about resilience and the power of prayer. Grace delves into the concept of "winter seasons" - those times in our lives when we face isolation, uncertainty, and waiting. She shares how, during these periods, it is essential to stay grounded in our faith through prayer, reading the Word, and actively participating in a faith community. Grace offers practical tips and insights on how to endure these seasons and grow deeper in our relationship with God. Furthermore, she highlights the importance of knowing our identity in Christ and finding our worth in Him rather than seeking validation from others. Grace encourages us to stand strong in our faith, even when facing opposition or questioning the purpose of our waiting. In our conversation with Grace, we explore the idea of "03:00 a.m. Friends" - those trusted individuals who stand by us during the darkest and most difficult moments. We discuss how cultivating these deep connections and being a reliable support system for others can bring strength and purpose to our own lives. We hope that this episode inspires and provides actionable insights for your own journey of purpose amidst uncertainty. Remember that even in the midst of the unknown, you can trust God's guidance and goodness.

Many of us have been conditioned by life and culture to serve to obtain identity rather than ministering from our identity in Christ. Jesus knew who He was and what the Father thought of Him; this impacted how He served God. However, many of us behave as orphans in ministry, which often ends in our own hurt and that of others. In this message on 'Learning To Minister From Identity', David teaches us to minister from identity as children of God rather than ministering from identity like orphans.

Transformational Truths with Pastor Travis Hall

Welcome to Transformational Truths with Pastor Travis Hall. In this episode, Pastor Travis returns from a six-month hiatus, sharing personal updates and achievements, including birthdays, potty training, buying a house, and embarking on a new book project. He kicks off a series on attachment styles, discussing their impact on leadership and relationships. Travis explains the four attachment styles (secure, anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant, and fearful avoidant) and highlights their fluid nature. These styles, believed to develop early in life, profoundly affect one's personal growth and relationships. Travis promises that this series will boost emotional and relational intelligence, offering valuable insights for both leaders and individuals. Tune in to hear their discussion and learn more about this important topic on Transformational Truth #83: Attachment Styles and Relationships. So, listen with your pen and paper ready because there will be much to take away from this episode. In this episode, you will learn: Fearful avoidant attachment is a complex mix of desiring close relationships while fearing rejection, leading to internal conflict in relationships. Common characteristics of fearful avoidant attachment  Fearful avoidant attachment can impact both personal relationships (like marriages) and leadership roles, hindering intimacy and trust. Healing and transitioning to more secure attachment patterns are possible through responsible vulnerability and self-awareness. Challenging false self-narratives and renewing one's identity in Christ can lead to personal growth and emotional healing. And so much more! Catch Pastor Travis Hall on...

Than was blessed with a beautiful baby, who was named Josiah, "Fire of God." However, within just a couple of years, it was evident that Josiah was a bit different. He was sadly diagnosed with autism, leaving Tahni and her husband devastated.Yet, rather than wallow in self-pity, Tahni and her husband chose to seek the best care for Josiah, which eventually led them to realize that Josiah may be different from his peers, but he has a true fire within that inspires others in ways so-called "ordinary" people can.In this interview with Tahni, you'll learn:-The discovery of Josiah's autism, and the initial response to it...02:45-Where is hope when there is no hope?...05:45-Vaccines and inoculations and their role in bringing about autism...08:50-The moment Tahni had a ray of hope for the future of Josiah...14:00-Josiah has a major breakthrough in his learning and development!...19:00-You'll do anything to help a child become what God means for it to become...22:10-The importance of self-care while caring for another...28:00-Supportive relationships outside the marriage while caring for a special-needs child...34:00-Surprising results from Tahni writing her book about her experiences...37:00-And much more...Resources mentioned:Josiah's Fire bookJosiah's Fire Facebook pageGuest's bio and social handles:I have loved God and the Bible for as long as I can remember. I was seven-years-old when my daddy built me a wooden pulpit. I put on my plaid three-piece wool suit on a snowed-in Sunday to deliver a message on obedience to my family in the living room. Then, one day as this wonderful invention showed up at our house–a VCR–I picked up a flair for the theatrical as I would rewind and rehearse lines from the likes of “Anne of Green Gables.” The love of communication in writing, speaking, theater and sharing compelling stories has always run deep for me. It's funny how you can trace those traits way back even to your childhood.Little did I know that language and expression that I loved the most would be whisked away from my only son, leaving me wounded and speechless before my God. An autism diagnosis at age two for our little boy, Josiah, was so swift, so final, with the words, “No known cause. No known cure. Lifelong.” My deepest question was, “Wow, what happens to hope when there is no hope?” Everything that I loved, believed in, and thought I knew about God got tested. If Jesus was Burden-Bearer, I knew somehow I would have to see if He would be that for me when the pressure of sickness, work, marriage, loneliness, finances, and spiritual wrestling dog-piled on our lives.Like so many things—impossible things—we are told to accept them and to learn to manage and to cope. The world is always trying to get us to just face facts and not to get our hopes up. “Your daughter is dead, Jairus. Why bother the teacher anymore?” But just when the facts start to get locked in as the “final answer,” if we listen hard enough, we will always hear Jesus say the same words He said to this dented father: “Don't be afraid; just believe.” Does the same Jesus we serve today still sound like this?It's a complex road these days to a simple faith like this: don't fear; just believe. I'd been desperately pursuing healing for five years, and learned so much about what intimacy with God, my identity in Christ, and my inheritance really meant to living out a Christ-following life.

Do you know who you are? Are you feeling weak and lost in the wilderness? Rabbi Schneider shares that overcoming temptation is rooted in knowing your identity in Christ, learning how to live in faith and not in presumption, and understanding that fame, riches, and glory of the world are the seduction Satan uses to pull us away from God the Father. If you have compromised your faith for worldly gain and glory, you can repent and come back to God. The fight against the world, the flesh, and the devil will be constant all the days of our life. Knowing our identity and leaning into God's word for strength when we are weak is crucial.

James Spencer, President of the D.L. Moody Center, talks to Mary Danielsen about balancing politics with the Great Commission and what it means to find our identity in Christ. More and more, Christians are allowing politics to shape their worldview and the practices of the church, causing divisions among the brethren. There may come a time that we need to ask ourselves if we have become disciples of a particular political tribe rather than disciples of Christ - at the very least measurable in the amount of time we spend on either. In his thoughtful article, "Render to God what is God's: Reflecting Christ in Politics", James says, "When God's people take up causes, we run the risk of those causes distorting our vision of God. We run the risk of justifying our pursuit of the cause by making the cause an idol and tying God to it. When this happens, we no longer act as if we believe that His ways are beyond our ways, or that His thoughts are beyond our thoughts. God conforms to us. We then determine how the problems we face must be solved and God no longer directs. He becomes a resource rather than a ruler."   Join us for a timely chat on what it means to count all things loss for the excellence of knowing Christ.
