"Why does Habakkuk begin with a complaint rather than a call to repentance or judgment like other prophets? In Habakkuk 2:4, what does it mean that “the righteous shall live by faith,” and how would a sixth-century Israelite have understood that phrase? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Seth Master talk about the lament that is seen in this book. Habakkuk reminds us that faith does not remove suffering, but it transforms our response to it.

This final session covers chapters 5 and 6, where Paul exhorts his readers to stand strong in grace and resist those who want to enslave them to the Law. Should they go back to the Law, they will fall from grace, meaning they will no longer be under the blessings that come from God's promises because they are depending on their own efforts. If they really want to fulfill the Law, they should love one another. The liberty they have in the gospel of grace should be controlled by love, not license. Don't resort to legalism--stand strong in grace! Don't try to live by the Law, but live by the Spirit and bear the fruit of the Spirit. Chapter 6 includes other exhortations that show how to display the love of Christ towards others. Paul's example was to boast only in the work of the cross, not in the work of his flesh. #Galatians #SimplybyGrace #GraceLifeMinistries #longstoryshort #winterbibleschoolnewzealand

You have accepted your punishment, served the time you were sentenced to, and are then released from prison. But the law that you violated hasn't changed. It still carries consequences if you break it again. In a spiritual sense, what is our relationship to the law once we have accepted Christ's offer of salvation? Is it the same, or does it change? We'll look at this question today. Galatians 3:23-29 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Unlocking Divine Healing: Aligning Spirit, Soul, and Body Join Dr. Edith Davis as she continues her series on manifesting divine healing and health. In this profound episode, she shares a powerful revelation about the "two or more" principle, expanding it to reveal a deeper truth about the three parts of our own being: spirit, soul, and body. Learn how the alignment of these three parts is the secret to unlocking the flow of God's blessings in your life. -- A tri-part being: Dr. Davis teaches that just as God is a trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—we are also made in His image as a spirit, soul, and body. -- The identical spirit: When we are born again, our spirit becomes identical to the Spirit of Christ. -- The soulish battle: The soul, consisting of our mind, will, and emotions, often acts as a blocker. Dr. Davis explains that the soul has power, as seen in the scripture "as a man thinks, so is he." This is why renewing the mind with the Word of God is critical. -- The will to surrender: Just as Jesus wrestled in the Garden of Gethsemane and surrendered His will to the Father's, we must surrender our soulish will to God's will. -- Harnessing emotions: Our emotions, a part of the soul, are a major battleground. Dr. Davis stresses the importance of harnessing emotions rather than letting them run wild, which can lead to destruction. -- No neutral ground: You are either walking in the Spirit, which leads to life and abundant life, or in the flesh, which ultimately leads to death and destruction. There is no in-between. -- Aligning for breakthrough: Dr. Davis concludes by explaining that our goal is to align our soul with our spirit by meditating on and doing the Word of God, thereby removing the blockages that prevent us from receiving divine healing, health, and wealth.

What if moments of frustration weren't roadblocks, but signals of something better? In this episode, Graham Cooke explores how God uses frustration to reposition us for upgrades, new favor, and a deeper awareness of His constant presence. What might shift if your starting point was celebration instead of complaint?Key Scriptures:+ Philippians 4:13. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.+ Matthew 16:19. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.+ Acts 2:12, 37. And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, “What does this mean?”… “Brethren, what shall we do?”+ 2 Timothy 1:12. I know whom I have believed and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.+ Galatians 5:6. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.+ 2 Kings 6:15–17. “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”… And Elisha prayed, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.**Want to explore more?**

Today’s Bible Verse: "But let each one test his own work. Then his reason to boast will be in himself and not in his neighbor" — Galatians 6:4 In a world obsessed with comparison, Galatians 6:4 reminds us that true fulfillment comes from focusing on our own journey. God calls us to examine our actions, grow in integrity, and take pride in what He has done through us—without measuring ourselves against others. “Want to listen without ads?

Loving our neighbor is not simply a good idea or an admirable ethic; Jesus called it the second greatest commandment. We first love God, and second, we love our neighbors as we love ourselves.Main Points:1. The idea of loving our neighbor is beautiful to think about, so long as it remains an idea. But the concrete reality of loving our neighbor, the difficulties and the challenges, strips the beauty away.2. If God is not the love of our lives, there is no way that we will truly love our neighbor as ourselves. Something happens when you experience the love of God and then begin to love God in return. 3. God desires you and me to love our neighbors. Let's let his love shine through our lives to those we meet. Let's make it more than a theory; let's get practical and put love into action.Today's Scripture Verses:Romans 13:10 - “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”Galatians 5:14 - “For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”John 13:34 - “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”1 John 4:20 - “…For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook GroupLoren Hicks on Instagram
Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: If you’ve ever struggled with discouragement, and we all have because life is full of disappointment and disillusionment, then this episode is for you. In honor of National Day of Encouragement, my co-host, Rev. Jessica Van Roekel and I talk about How to Find Biblical Encouragement for Your Everyday Life. Discouragement can rob us of joy, peace, and a sense of purpose. Encouragement is more than a feeling - it’s a powerful tool to propel us toward hope and confidence even when life feels less than happy. Today we’re going to talk about how to find biblical encouragement for your everyday life. Quotables from the episode: In 2007, a group of young people at the National Leadership Forum at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas saw a lack of encouragement as one of the main obstacles that people face. While dedicating a day to encourage others is noble, we can experience encouragement every day when we turn to the Lord and receive his encouragement. The challenge to receive biblical encouragement is when we know God’s promises but don’t see him working. This topic is close to my heart because I’ve seen firsthand how knowing God, and his promises have encouraged me in the face of difficult and seemingly unchanging circumstances. I know many of our listeners and viewers struggle with discouragement, and my prayer is that today’s conversation will bring encouragement and hope. Knowing God’s names helps us learn to trust him. When we trust him, it’s easier to experience encouragement in our every day. Psalm 9:10 says, Those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you. Relationships are an area where we can experience extreme discouragement. Personality differences can create division. Unforgiveness leads to rifts. It can feel discouraging to desire a healing in a relationship, but every effort is rejected. We’ve talked about the temptation to judge God’s goodness based on humanity’s failures. If our in-person relationships are broken, and we don’t have a vibrant or growing relationship with God, we grow discouraged because we were made for relationship. Friend, if you’ve found yourself in a place of discouragement—especially when you're facing relationship struggles—you are not alone. As a neuropsychologist, I’ve seen how deeply our relationships impact not only our emotional well-being but also our brain health. God designed our brains for connection. We were created in His image, a God who is relational by nature, and He wired us for fellowship—with Him and with each other. When our relationships are strained, whether due to misunderstanding, unmet expectations, betrayal, or emotional distance, our brains register it as a threat. That triggers our stress response—what we often call “fight, flight, or freeze.” Over time, if that stress continues unchecked, it leads to anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, and a foggy, overwhelmed mind. Our thought life becomes a battlefield, and discouragement sets in. But here's the hope: God doesn’t leave us to navigate this alone. He sees every tear, hears every unspoken word, and knows the condition of our hearts and minds. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Our healing begins when we bring both our brain health and our relational wounds to the Great Physician. Practical steps include tending to your thought life—taking every thought captive (2 Corinthians 10:5), practicing forgiveness to unburden your heart, and choosing truth over lies. Sometimes that means setting healthy boundaries or seeking wise counsel. And always, it means leaning into the One who offers peace that transcends understanding. Your brain can heal. Your heart can mend. And your relationships can be restored—if not with others, then certainly with the Lord, who is the source of all true comfort and strength. Discouragement may visit, but it doesn’t have to take up permanent residence. Knowing God as Abba leads us to know God as a wonderful Father. (Galatians 4:6) He is the Alpha and Omega – Jesus was in the beginning as the Word of God and he is God’s final word for all eternity. (Revelation 21:6) As Adonai, we recognize his leadership in our life. He is our Lord and Ruler. (Ezekiel 16:8) El Chay, or Living God, reminds us that the entertainments, enticements, and other distractions are not worthy of worship. (Psalm 84:2) El Roi, The God Who Sees, encourages us with God’s mercy, grace, and comfort. We are not invisible to him. (Genesis 16:13) Jehovah-Jireh, The Lord our Provider, tells us God is our provider, and it is the same Hebrew word as Moriah, the region where God sent Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. God may ask us to give something up, and he gives us himself in return, and becomes all we need. (Romans 8:32) Jehovah-Nissi, The Lord Our Banner, paints the picture that we live under God’s banner. It was the name revealed when Moses erected an altar to commemorate the defeat of their enemies. It encourages us that we live under God’s victory. He goes before us and comes behind us to make us victors in life’s battles. (Exodus 17:15) The Lord Our Healer, or Jehovah-Rapha, encourages us because God heals our hearts in the here and now. (Exodus 15:26) The Lord is Peace, Jehovah-Shalom, our security, sufficiency, and serenity. (Judges 6:24) Jehovah-Tsuri, the Lord our Rock, helps us remember God is permanent, faithful, protective, a firm foundation, a hiding place and shelter. (Psalm 18:2) Knowing the names of God gives us insight into his character, which encourages us when we face different situations where we need to rely on a different aspect of God’s character. For example, if someone feels discouraged because of life’s chaos, remembering God is Jehovah Shalom encourages their heart because God is their serenity. God is a covenant making and covenant keeping God. The primary promise of the covenant is the Lord’s promise to “be God to you and to your offspring after you.” The goal of God’s covenant with humankind is to bring salvation, not just to one nation, but to the entire human race. This covenant was eventually fulfilled through Jesus Christ as his followers began to spread the good news about him throughout the world. God made a covenant with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Israelite nation, David, and finally the whole world through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Covenants, or promises, are conditional because they are based on the agreements of two parties. God cannot go back on his promises, but we can refuse the comfort of the promises when we fail to take God at his word and allow doubt to lead us to sin. Because of God’s covenants, we have promises like the promise of his presence. Isaiah 41:10 says, “Do not be afraid for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (NLT) Deuteronomy 31:8, “‘Do not be afraid of discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (NLT) Isaiah 43:2, “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Joshua 1:19, “This is my command – be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Those are wonderful reminders of God presence. I know I’ve needed to believe them by faith because sometimes what I see, and what I feel don’t match up with what I know to be true. I also cling to the promise of Victory found in: John 16:33, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” Exodus 14:14, “The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, “Each time he said, ‘My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.’ So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, persecutions, and troubles I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” Isaiah 40:29, “He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.” God promises to guide us: Psalm 32:8, “The Lord says, I will guide along the best pathway for your life. I will advise and watch over you. Psalm 37:23-24, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the Lord holds them by the hand. Psalm 23:1-2, ‘The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. Not only does God promise us his presence, victory, and guidance, but he also promises rest, life, peace, and forgiveness: Rest: Matthew 11:28-29, “Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Life: John 3:16, “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” Peace: Isaiah 26:3, ‘You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.” Forgiveness: 1 John 1:9, “But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleans us from all wickedness.” Our faith grows when we plant our feet on God’s promises. (Psalm 34:18) He is close to the broken hearted and rescues those who are crushed in spirit. (2 Cor. 4:8-9) We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (Isaiah 54:17) “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. I think it starts with looking at the end of Hebrews 11, knowing the stories of those who have gone before us, remembering the past so we can encourage ourselves in the present and build hope for the future. Hebrews 11 opens with this verse: Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. The next several verses list people who lived by faith and received what God promised and those who died without receiving things promised and yet, they are commended for having faith. It’s faith in the promise maker which matters. Looking at our circumstances for “proof” of God keeping his promises leads to disappointment. Remember, faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Sometimes, we need to cling to other’s people’s stories when our stories are littered with doubt and disappointment. One story which encourages me when I am feeling discouraged is Mary, Martha and Lazarus when Lazarus became ill and died. That story reminds me that things are not always as they seem, but God always has a plan and he sees the end from the beginning. he bible is full of encouragement and doesn’t sugarcoat the difficulties people of faith faced. If Job can lose his entire fortune, family and health and still remain faithful to God—believing him to faithful and true—then I can look beyond my circumstances and see that God is bigger than what’s right in front of me. I can take the magnifying glass off of the things in my life that discourage me and point my magnifying glass to the God who breathes stars and breath in my lungs. I am encouraged by Abraham, when he looked the impossibility of his reality (too old to have children) and yet remained believing that God would fulfill his promise. I’ve been in situations where I couldn’t see a way forward and following Abraham’s example encourages me so much. Knowing God intimately is a great first step toward experiencing biblical encouragement. Understanding his heart and loyalty toward us is key. Second, we can remember to look beyond what we see to what we know to be true. Sometimes feelings follow an act of faith. Take Hebrews 11 to heart.

As Paul continues his defense of his gospel of grace, he rebukes the Galatians for their inconsistent thinking that they can be sanctified, or finally justified, by works not faith. This leads to an explanation of the purpose of the Law. It was not given to sanctify us, but to expose our sin and lead us to our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Law did not replace the promise of God to Abraham to provide a Seed who would be our Savior. Since the promise comes by grace, not Law, faith is the chief principle for living, just as it was for salvation. #Galatians #SimplybyGrace #GraceLifeMinistries

Welcome to the Podcast of Southwest Bible Fellowship in Tempe, Arizona. WHO ARE WE? • We are a group of people who are committed to living the grace life as set forth by the apostle of the Gentiles, the Apostle Paul. • We come together to study our Bibles, and yes, we believe we have God's perfect Word in the King James Bible. It and it alone is our final authority in all matters of faith and practice! • We do not come together and study our Bibles for the intent of being smarter than others. We understand that knowledge for the sake of knowledge is purely vain and serves no Godly purpose. • We do come together and study our Bibles for the intent of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:10) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that we have been crucified with Christ; nevertheless we live; yet not us, but Christ liveth in us: and the life which we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us. (Galatians 2:20) • We do come together and study our Bibles to understand that because Jesus Christ shed His blood for us and we should not live for ourselves but for Him, who died for us and rose again. (2 Cor. 5:15) • We do not claim to have attained to these lofty goals, but we press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

How are your future goals shaping up? Are you anticipating great things on your horizon? Are those goals starting to come together? When it comes to spiritual goals, is it possible that the richness of a full spiritual life already exists and it's our job to simply move into it?

In this episode of our New Testament Survey series, we dive into Paul's passionate letter to the Galatians. Written to churches struggling with confusion over the law and the gospel, Galatians cuts straight to the heart of Christian freedom. Brandon and Jonathan walk us through Paul's defense of grace, his warnings against adding anything to the gospel, and his challenge to live by the Spirit rather than the flesh. We'll even look at no well known theories about what cities in the province of Galatia and when was Paul writing. Together we'll discover how Paul's bold reminder—“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free”—is just as relevant today as it was in the first century.

What a tragedy it is when there is a loss of spiritual identity. I believe you can lose your true identity, give it away, forget it, waste it, or change it for better or worse. It's also possible that some individuals go through life searching for their true identity and never find it.Main Points:1. If you don't know who you are, then you are vulnerable to other people telling you who you are. But the concrete, solid, gospel truth is that as a follower of Jesus, you are who God says you are, and no one else has a vote in the matter.2. The phrase “in Christ” is used about 140 times in the Bible. We are said to be “in Christ.” It is the most used term to describe a follower of Jesus. God's Word is saying to us that if you are trusting Jesus Christ as your savior and Lord, “You are in Christ.” This is your new identity! This is who God made you to be. This is the real you!3.

This episode is our closing argument for the Septuagint (LXX) and its proper place as the Word of God — the Scripture of the Early Church, the Apostles, and Christ Himself. Once you have finished this episode, you will need to decide for yourself if you believe the argument as presented or if you intend to double down on the ‘Hebrew' the rabbis smuggled into the churches. The question is one of fidelity to God and to His Word, and it is a question that will split the churches, that will sift the wheat from the chaff. “But I and my household will serve the Lord, because He is holy.” Show Notes Romans 2:24 → Isaiah 52:5 Romans 3:4 → Psalm 51:4 (LXX Psalm 50:6) Romans 9:25b → Hosea 2:23 Romans 9:27 → Isaiah 10:22 Romans 9:27-28 → Isaiah 10:22-23 Romans 9:29 → Isaiah 1:9 Romans 9:33; 10:11 → Isaiah 28:16 Romans 10:18 → Psalm 19:4 (LXX Ps 18:5. .

Can I ask you an important question? What do you do when you become discouraged? You need an answer to this question. You need a plan, and you need it now. Discouragement comes to us all. Everyone will face it. Everyone will battle it.Main Points:1. Discouragement will make you want to quit. Maybe even right now, as you listen to this podcast episode, you have been fighting the feelings of wanting to quit.2. There are going to be times when you have to encourage yourself in the Lord. No one else is around. The pastor is not there. No friends are around to help you. Your family is not there. Do you know how to encourage yourself in the Lord? Have you done this? Can you grab God's Word and feed your soul? Can you find a place of prayer and pour out your soul before the Lord? Can you worship in times of trouble?3. If you are discouraged right now, remember God's past faithfulness and begin to thank Him for what He has already done. As you worship, watch the discouragement disappear.Today's Scripture Verses:1 Samuel 30:6 - "David encouraged himself in the Lord.”Galatians 6:9 - “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook GroupLoren Hicks on Instagram
After the offering (skip to 12:50), Pastor Brown preaches “Standing on the Shoulders of Giants” from Exodus 28:1–2,12. We are not self-made. God designs leaders and believers to carry names on our shoulders and on our hearts—with affection and responsibility.Key movements: Abraham's intercession for Lot, Israel blessed “for the fathers' sake,” Aaron bearing Israel's names, foundations with the apostles, our fellowship's promise, supporting tired leaders like Moses, honoring modern giants, rescuing giants like David, Paul's lonely burden, and God's memorials—Cornelius' prayers, fragrant giving, and Mordecai remembered.Call to action: become a “hiding place” (Isaiah 32:2). Put real names on your shoulders in prayer, service, and sacrificial giving.

No Matter How Deep Your Hole, that You have Dug for Yourself, You Can Call on God the Creator of the Universe for Help MESSAGE SUMMARY: Prayer is your conduit for communion with God. Through prayer, you are in God's Presence; and you can invite His help in your life's situations. The best way to learn how to have this communion with God is to just do it and use your normal conversational words; however, the words of Scripture are powerful and work strongly. Just pray with your heart in conversation with God. Jonah, in Jonah 2:1-2, models for us that no matter how deep our situational hole, which we have dug for ourselves, we can call on God the Creator of the Universe for help: “Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, saying, ‘I called out to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.'". TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Despair. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Joy. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

If you have ever felt you were on the edge of giving up on Christianity, Church, God's People, God, A dream that He gave you... You are not alone.

Welcome to Entrusted! Paul was entrusted with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he faithfully entrusted that to others, including Timothy. In our opening message, Paul instructs Timothy to beware of strange doctrines that were creeping into the church in Ephesus. By paying attention to the contents of their message, their corrupt character, and the impact their teaching had, strange doctrine was easy to spot. As these false teachers attempt to teach the Law, they misuse it. Instead, Paul exhorts Timothy to use the Law lawfully, according to the glorious gospel of Christ. Join us for session one of Entrusted as we examine how to spot strange doctrines and the intended purpose of the Law.Verses Used:1 Timothy 1:1-31 Timothy 1:3-7Titus 1:10-11Titus 1:13-141 Timothy 1:7-11Romans 3:20Galatians 4:4-5Galatians 3:13 & 241 Corinthians 6:9-11Discussion Questions:1. Have you ever been impacted by false teaching? What was the impact of that on your life?2. How does Paul describe the character of false teachers in 1 Timothy 1:3-7 & Titus 1:10-11?3. What is the effect of strange doctrine/unsound teaching? (See 1 Timothy 1:4-7 & Titus 1:10-11)4. How should we deal with false doctrine and unsound teaching? (See Titus 1:13-14)5. Paul says the Law is good if one uses it lawfully. What does this mean? How have you seen people use the Law "unlawfully?"6. How would you explain the purpose of the Law in your own words?

What does it mean to follow Jesus in a culture obsessed with self-fulfillment? John Mark explores Jesus' words in Luke 9, where He calls His disciples to “take up your cross and follow me.” Contrasting the way of self-denial at the heart of apprenticeship to Jesus with the modern pursuit of personal satisfaction, John Mark encourages us to embrace the cruciform life that leads to our deepest satisfaction in God.Key Scripture Passages: Luke 9v18-24; Galatians 5v16-24; Luke 9v57-62; Luke 14v25-33; Luke 18v18-23; Matthew 13v44This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.

Too many of us treat emotions like junk we stuff in a closet—hoping they'll never resurface. But the truth is, suppressed emotions always leak out, stealing memories, peace, and purpose.In this powerful episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase shares his journey from numbing emotions during his Texas Tech basketball days to discovering the biblical framework for emotional healing. Through personal stories of loss, resilience, and even a run-in at the airport, he shows how unchecked emotions keep us silent, while honest expression sets us free.Norense introduces a 4-step process—Acknowledge, Accept, Address, Express—rooted in both Scripture and lived experience. If you've ever felt like you're drowning in silence, scrolling to escape, or “working” to numb the pain, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn:Why suppressing emotions leads to memory gaps and burnoutHow silence and shame are strategies of the enemyThe connection between self-love and emotional honestyWhy vulnerability is strength, not weaknessA practical 4-step framework to process emotions in a healthy, Christ-centered wayKey Scriptures:Ephesians 6:13 – “Having done all, to stand.”Romans 14:23 – “Anything not of faith is sin.”1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast your cares on Him, because He cares for you.”Galatians 5:22–23 – Fruit of the SpiritMemorable Quotes“Suppress less. Express more.”“The enemy wants your silence—because silence kills your spirit.”“Love demands discovery—sit with your emotions and see them clearly.”“God didn't give you emotions to bury them.

What role does the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit) really play in a believer's life? In this episode, Bryan and Layne explore how Mormonism, the Book of Mormon, and the Bible describe the work of the Spirit—and why those descriptions matter.--The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --What We Talk About in This EpisodeThe LDS view of the Holy Ghost – As Layne shares from his own experience, many Mormons grow up seeing the Holy Ghost primarily as a “burning in the bosom,” a feeling that validates the truth of the LDS Church. But in practice, that “confirmation” is not enough—modern Mormonism teaches you also need prophets, temples, ordinances, and authority.The contrast in the Book of Mormon – Interestingly, passages like 2 Nephi 32:5 and Moroni 10:4-5 describe the Holy Ghost much more like the Bible does: as sufficient to lead believers into all truth, without extra rituals or institutions.The biblical picture of the Holy Spirit – The Bible consistently teaches that the Spirit is given when we believe (Ephesians 1:13, Galatians 3). He permanently indwells every believer, guiding us into truth, glorifying Jesus, and assuring us of salvation. The Spirit is a He, not an it, the third Person of the Trinity.How modern LDS doctrine complicates things – Later revelations in the Doctrine & Covenants change the role of the Spirit. Instead of being sufficient on His own, the Spirit is portrayed as temporary, conditional, and dependent on temple ordinances and priesthood authority. This shift points believers back to an institution rather than to Christ.Why the simplicity of Christ matters – Both the Bible and the Book of Mormon highlight the “plain and precious” truth: the Holy Spirit Himself is enough to guide and teach. Jesus promised that the Spirit would never leave believers (John 14:26, John 16:13). Mormonism adds layers of requirements that move away from that simplicity.Key TakeawaysThe Holy Spirit's role is to glorify Jesus and point us to Him—not to a prophet, a church, or an institution.According to both the Bible and the Book of Mormon, the Spirit is sufficient to guide believers into all truth.Modern Mormonism shifts the focus, teaching that prophets, temples, and ordinances are necessary for the fullness of the Spirit.The Bible teaches that the Spirit permanently indwells every believer at the moment of faith—no rituals, worthiness interviews, or temple covenants required.True freedom and assurance come when we embrace the simplicity of Christ and the sufficiency of His Spirit.Why This MattersIf you're LDS, former LDS, or just curious, this conversation raises an important question: Is the Holy Ghost enough, or do we need more than the Spirit to truly connect with God? Bryan and Layne show how the answer you give will shape your entire understanding of salvation, faith, and your relationship with...
The world says your struggles are caused by generational trauma, ancestral curses, or karmic cycles — and that you need rituals, regressions, or charts to “break free.” But what if that's not the truth at all?In this powerful episode of The Illuminated Woman Podcast, I'll share my own journey from karmic astrology, past-life regressions, and ancestral “healing” practices into the truth of God's Word.

''If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”Galatians 5:25 NKJVTrue sanctification is not a matter of willpower but of walking in step with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, empowers us to overcome it, and transforms us from the inside out, leading us into a life that pleases God.
September 7, 2025John Elmore Galatians 2:1-10 Pastor John reminded us that the Gospel that saves and transforms is unchanging, and we must be careful not to “paint over” grace with the law or our own efforts. True freedom and lasting impact come not from our striving, but from abiding in Christ and faithfully living out the role He's entrusted to us. Do you run in vain?Do you have freedom?Do you run in your lane? Life Group Discussion:In what ways are we tempted to “paint over” the Gospel with rules, rituals, or personal effort?What areas of your life might still lack freedom, and how can the Gospel transform those places?Why do you think it's easy to compare our calling to others instead of focusing on the lane God has given us?
