Ask, Believe, Dream Bigger: The Greater Things Jesus Promised – John 14:12–14 In Episode 149 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane slow down and dive into just three powerful verses—John 14:12–14—where Jesus makes an astonishing promise about faith, prayer, and the “greater works” His followers will do. What did Jesus mean when He said, “Whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these”? And what do we do with His invitation to “ask me for anything in my name”? Together, Jamie and Jane explore the difference between dreaming with God and simply asking Him to bless our plans. They talk about bold prayers, surrendered dreams, expectations, and what it means to believe that God can accomplish more through our lives than we could ever manufacture on our own. Maybe we've been praying too safely. Maybe we've allowed disappointment to shrink what we're willing to ask God for. John 14 invites us to believe again, ask boldly, dream with God—and remember that ultimately, it is all for the glory of the Father. Reflection Question: Have I allowed fear, disappointment, or past unanswered prayers to make my prayers smaller—and what might God be inviting me to ask Him for again? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

The sermon explores the profound connection between fearing God and experiencing deep intimacy with Him, drawing primarily from Psalm 25. It argues that reverence for the Lord is not a barrier to closeness but rather the pathway to friendship, covenant revelation, and spiritual instruction. By examining David's prayers and historical examples of faithfulness, the text emphasizes that humility and the forgiveness of sins enable believers to approach God with boldness and trust. The central message encourages Christians to grow in their fear of God as a means to receive His mercy, guidance, and eternal life through Jesus Christ. Ultimately, this reverent relationship brings peace to the soul and extends blessings to future generations.

Troubled World, Untroubled Heart: Trusting Jesus When Life Feels Uncertain – John 14:1–11 In Episode 147 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into John 14:1–11, where Jesus speaks some of His most comforting words to His disciples: “Do not let your hearts be troubled.” Jesus knows what is coming. The disciples are facing uncertainty, confusion, and fear—yet He doesn't promise them an easy road. Instead, He gives them something greater: Himself. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack what it means to have an untroubled heart in a troubled world, why trusting God doesn't require understanding everything He's doing, and the hope found in Jesus' declaration: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” When the world feels uncertain, our circumstances don't have to determine the condition of our hearts. Jesus invites us to trust Him, know the Father through Him, and find peace in the promise that He is preparing the way. If your heart has felt anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what's ahead, John 14 is an invitation to remember who Jesus is—and why you can trust Him. What is troubling my heart right now—and what would change if I trusted Jesus with it instead of trying to control the outcome? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

From the Brohemian Grove VIP Day at The Standard Coffee Shop to the massive main event, this episode goes behind the scenes on what happened before, during, and after one of the wildest NDS gatherings yet.The crew discusses the live Bible study, Christian fellowship, conspiracy roundtables, comedy, technical chaos, venue problems, and the army of listeners and content creators who came together for the event. David “The Raven” Corbo and Top Lobsta explain the confrontation that brought the final performance to an abrupt end, while Zach recounts watching the event's police security detail react to the conversations happening on stage.They also revisit the unforgettable combination of Owen Benjamin and Dr. Heather Lynn, including the darkly comedic discussion surrounding ritual cannibalism, Charlie Kirk, anthropology, and Communion. The conversation expands into Rob Skiba, flat earth, Neil deGrasse Tyson, institutional distrust, Flock cameras, Wi-Fi surveillance, 6G technology, Satan's Little Season, spiritual warfare, and the dangers of going too far down conspiracy rabbit holes.One of the most serious moments comes from the BroGrove roundtable with Austin Picard of The Underclass Podcast, where a conspiracy discussion unexpectedly becomes a conversation about darkness, faith, Scripture, and turning your attention back toward God.The guys also recap appearances and interactions involving Ed Mabry, Laura Baker, John Lenhart, Royce and Mersh, Demon Erasers, Seth Kicklighter, Jeremiah Skiba, Skiba News, Prometheus Lens, JT Follows JC, and many more.Most importantly, they discuss why Christian community, knowing God personally, spiritual warfare, and keeping Christ at the center matter more than simply collecting information about darkness.What was your favorite Brohemian Grove moment?

In Episode 213, we explore Luke 11:1-4 and the disciples' request that changed everything about how we pray. Jesus is in a certain place praying. As He finishes, one of His disciples comes to Him with a request that reveals something profound: "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." They didn't ask Him to teach them to preach. They didn't ask Him to teach them to heal or perform miracles. They asked Him to teach them to pray. Because they watched Jesus pray and saw something they didn't have—a connection, a depth, an intimacy with the Father that was unlike anything they'd ever witnessed. And Jesus gives them a template. Not a script to recite mechanically. Not a formula to perform. A framework to inhabit—a structure that shapes how we approach God and how we live our lives. Through guided meditation, discover the profound movement of this prayer. It begins with God: "Father, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon." Before we bring our needs, we orient ourselves toward God. We remember who He is. We align ourselves with His purposes. We begin not with what we want but with who He is. Then it moves to our daily need: "Give us each day the food we need." Not next year's provision. Not a guarantee for the future. Today's. It's a deliberate invitation to daily dependence—to come back to God every morning with open hands, acknowledging that everything we have comes from Him and everything we need must come from Him. Then to our relationships: "Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us." This is perhaps the most searching line in the prayer. We can't receive forgiveness with a closed fist. The posture that receives grace is the same posture that extends it. You cannot hold onto unforgiveness and receive God's forgiveness at the same time. And finally to our protection: "Don't let us yield to temptation." We acknowledge our weakness. We stop pretending we're strong enough on our own. We ask for God's strength to carry us through what we cannot face alone. This episode explores how this prayer is a complete life of faith in six lines—worship, dependence, forgiveness, and protection. Jesus didn't give us a recitation. He gave us a relationship. Learn how to take each phrase and make it personal, specific, and honest—filling in the blanks with your specific life, your specific needs, your specific sins, your specific temptations. Discover what it means to pray not as a religious duty but as a genuine conversation with a Father who knows you, loves you, and invites you to come to Him with everything. Find the depth and intimacy in prayer that the disciples saw in Jesus—and that Jesus is offering to you.

Faithful Through Betrayal: Love, Loyalty, and the New Commandment – John 13:18–38 In Episode 146 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through John 13:18–38, where the final hours before the cross reveal both the beauty of Christ's love and the heartbreak of human failure. Jesus foretells Judas' betrayal, predicts Peter's denial, and gives His disciples a new commandment that will forever define His followers: "Love one another as I have loved you." Together, they explore how Jesus responded to betrayal with compassion, why our identity is rooted in Christ rather than our failures, and what it truly means to love others with the same grace we've received. Even in the face of rejection and abandonment, Jesus remained faithful to His mission—and He invites us to do the same. This episode is a powerful reminder that while people may disappoint us, Jesus never will. His love is stronger than betrayal, His grace is greater than our failures, and His call to love remains at the center of the Christian life. How can I reflect the love of Jesus toward someone who has hurt me, disappointed me, or failed me? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

The Towel and the Basin: The Heart of a Servant – John 13:1–17 In Episode 145 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane begin one of the most intimate and transformative sections of the Gospel of John. In John 13:1–17, Jesus—the King of kings—kneels to wash the feet of His disciples, revealing that true greatness in God's Kingdom is found in humble service. Together, they unpack the significance of this unforgettable moment, exploring what it means to love sacrificially, lead with humility, and serve others with the heart of Christ. Peter's struggle to accept Jesus' act of service also reminds us that following Jesus means learning both to receive His grace and to extend it to others. This episode is an invitation to exchange pride for humility, status for service, and self-centered living for the example Jesus modeled on the night before the cross. As followers of Christ, we're not just called to admire His example—we're called to live it. Who is Jesus inviting me to serve with humility this week, and am I willing to lay down my pride to love like He loved?____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

In episode five of our Summer Recap Series, Shelley Giglio sits down with beloved Bible teacher and longtime friend Lisa Harper for an honest and hope-filled conversation about knowing the God of the Bible—not just knowing about Him. Lisa shares how God has patiently pursued her through seasons of doubt, disappointment, fear, failure, and loss, teaching her that true freedom isn't found in performing, pretending, or presenting a polished version of ourselves. It's found in believing that we are already fully loved by Jesus. Together, Shelley and Lisa talk about the difference between religion and relationship, the importance of knowing Scripture for ourselves, and how theology isn't just a subject to study. It's a conversation with a God who desires to be known. From Lisa's journey into public ministry to the story of adopting her daughter Missy, she shares how God redeems what feels irreparable and meets us with His kindness in the places we feel most broken.

In Episode 196, we explore John 7:40-52 and the tension between knowing about Jesus and truly knowing Him. The crowd in this passage knows about Jesus. They know the Scriptures. They know what the Messiah is supposed to be like. They know the prophecies. They can quote the law. They understand the theology perfectly. But knowing about Jesus and knowing Jesus are two very different things. The crowd uses their knowledge to dismiss Jesus: "He's from Galilee. The Messiah comes from Bethlehem. This can't be Him." They're technically right about the Scriptures. But they're completely wrong about Jesus. They have information, but they don't have intimacy. They have facts, but they don't have faith. Through guided meditation, discover how the religious leaders are the perfect example of this danger. They know the Scriptures inside and out. They can cite chapter and verse. They understand the law perfectly. But Jesus looks at them and says they don't know the Father. They don't know God. All their knowledge has become a barrier to relationship. Their theological accuracy has become a substitute for intimate encounter. And then there's Nicodemus—a leader, educated, knowledgeable. But there's something different about him. He's willing to ask questions. He's willing to listen. He's willing to consider that maybe there's more to Jesus than what he already knows. He's not defending his knowledge; he's seeking to know. He's willing to be surprised and transformed. This episode explores the profound danger of substituting knowledge for relationship. You can know everything about Jesus and still not know Jesus. You can read the Bible, attend church, understand theology, quote Scripture, and still miss the whole point. Knowledge can become a substitute for relationship. Information can become a barrier to intimacy. Jesus isn't looking for people who know about Him. He's looking for people who know Him. He's not impressed by your theological accuracy. He's moved by your openness to Him. He's not looking for people who have all the answers. He's looking for people who are willing to encounter Him and be transformed by Him. The crowd thought they knew who Jesus was. They had their categories, their expectations, their understanding. And that knowledge kept them from truly meeting Him. Learn why the question isn't "Do you know about Jesus?" but rather "Do you know Jesus? Have you encountered Him? Have you let Him change you? Are you in relationship with Him, or just in agreement with information about Him?" Discover practical steps for moving from comfortable, familiar knowledge to fresh encounter. Find the freedom that comes from being willing to let Jesus surprise you, challenge you, and transform you—even if it means surrendering what you thought you already knew.

"All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." Matthew 11:27 (NKJV) This is a legal declaration of the Father to the Son. Jesus is not acting on His own; He is operating under the full, delegated authority of the Godhead. You cannot operate in Kingdom Authority (Luke 10:19) if you do not understand Who gave you the authority. Jesus won the right to give us power because He walked in total submission to the Father. When you operate in His name, you are backed by the full weight of the Father's sovereign power. Every chain you break, you break with the Father's permission and the Son's power. "No one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son..." This speaks to the absolute, exclusive intimacy between the Father and the Son. Ministry is not a job; it is a relationship with the Father. You cannot "know" God through theology books or academic study alone. You only know the Father through the Son. If you want to move in the miraculous, you must move from knowing about God to knowing Him in the secret place of intimacy. The measure of your authority in the world is directly tied to the measure of your intimacy with Him in the closet. "...and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." This implies that the Father is not "hidden" from the world, but He is revealed by the Son to those who are hungry for Him. God is looking for those who are willing to be "revealed to." The reason so many remain in stagnation is that they are too full of their own self-knowledge to receive the Father's revelation. To walk in this level of authority, you must maintain a "student's heart"—always ready to be taught, always ready to be corrected, and always ready for a fresh download of the Father's heart. #ApostleCathyCoppola #Matthew1127 #DivineRevelation #IntimacyWithGod #KingdomAuthority #HouseOfGlory #MightyWindTV #ApostolicLeadership #SovereigntyOfGod #KnowTheFather #PropheticTeaching

"All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." Matthew 11:27 (NKJV) This is a legal declaration of the Father to the Son. Jesus is not acting on His own; He is operating under the full, delegated authority of the Godhead. You cannot operate in Kingdom Authority (Luke 10:19) if you do not understand Who gave you the authority. Jesus won the right to give us power because He walked in total submission to the Father. When you operate in His name, you are backed by the full weight of the Father's sovereign power. Every chain you break, you break with the Father's permission and the Son's power. "No one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son..." This speaks to the absolute, exclusive intimacy between the Father and the Son. Ministry is not a job; it is a relationship with the Father. You cannot "know" God through theology books or academic study alone. You only know the Father through the Son. If you want to move in the miraculous, you must move from knowing about God to knowing Him in the secret place of intimacy. The measure of your authority in the world is directly tied to the measure of your intimacy with Him in the closet. "...and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." This implies that the Father is not "hidden" from the world, but He is revealed by the Son to those who are hungry for Him. God is looking for those who are willing to be "revealed to." The reason so many remain in stagnation is that they are too full of their own self-knowledge to receive the Father's revelation. To walk in this level of authority, you must maintain a "student's heart"—always ready to be taught, always ready to be corrected, and always ready for a fresh download of the Father's heart. #ApostleCathyCoppola #Matthew1127 #DivineRevelation #IntimacyWithGod #KingdomAuthority #HouseOfGlory #MightyWindTV #ApostolicLeadership #SovereigntyOfGod #KnowTheFather #PropheticTeaching

What if the thing you're missing with God isn't effort, but closeness? We guide you through a short, Scripture-soaked devotional that reopens the door to intimacy with God, the kind that feels like hearing His footsteps in the garden and realizing you're not alone.We lean into Psalm 25:14 where the Lord confides in those who fear Him, then echo Genesis 3:8 with its tender picture of God walking near in the cool of the day. When worship becomes a project, intimacy collapses. So we practice releasing the pressure, dropping the agenda, and making room for Spirit-led communion that is simple, honest, and deeply satisfying.If this devotional helps you breathe again, subscribe, share it with a friend who's worn out from striving, and leave a review so more people can find a path back to God's heart.

A Fragrant Offering: Worship, Surrender, and the Anointing Oil – John 12:1–27 In Episode 142 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 12:1–27, where Mary pours out costly perfume at the feet of Jesus in one of the most beautiful acts of worship found in Scripture. While others questioned her sacrifice, Jesus honored her devotion, revealing a heart fully surrendered to Him. Together, they unpack the significance of the anointing oil, the contrast between worship and criticism, and what it means to offer Jesus our very best. As the chapter unfolds, Jesus begins preparing His followers for the cross, teaching that true life is found through surrender and sacrifice. This conversation invites listeners to consider what they are holding back from God and challenges us to move beyond convenient faith into wholehearted worship.

Raised: When Jesus Calls the Dead to Life – John 11:27–57 In Episode 141 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore one of the most powerful miracles in all of Scripture—the raising of Lazarus in John 11:27–57. As grief, doubt, hope, and faith collide, Jesus declares Himself to be “the resurrection and the life” before calling Lazarus from the tomb. Together, they unpack what this miracle reveals about the heart of God, the power of belief, and how Jesus often works in ways that stretch our faith beyond what we can see. This chapter is not only about a man being raised from the dead—it's about a Savior who brings life into every place that feels hopeless, buried, or beyond redemption. If you've ever wondered whether God can still move in what feels impossible, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus specializes in resurrection.

MY Devotional: Daily Encouragement from Leading The Way

When Jesus rebuked the disciples for having “little faith” in Matthew 8, He was not speaking of saving faith—He was addressing the practical, daily faith needed to trust Him in the middle of a storm. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds believers that when intimacy with God weakens, fear and panic can quickly take over. Fear-conquering faith requires absolute trust in God's sovereignty. It is the kind of faith that depends on Him completely, receives what He provides with an open heart, and believes He is working out His purposes even when the storm is raging. Romans 8:28 assures us that God works all things for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Dr. Youssef challenges a common contradiction in the Christian life: we trust God with our eternal souls, yet often hesitate to trust Him with our daily needs. God wants our professed faith to become lived faith—faith that trusts Him with relationships, resources, decisions, fears, and the future. When you walk closely with God and seek Him in prayer at the first sign of fear, your focus shifts from the storm to the Savior. And as your focus remains on Him, fear begins to fade into the background. Prayer: God, I trust You with my salvation, but sometimes I struggle with trusting You with the details of my life. Strengthen my daily living faith so that my trust in You is greater than my fears. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith?” (Matthew 6:30).

The Delay, The Death, and The Resurrection Life - John 11:1-26 In Episode 141 - When Jesus hears that His close friend Lazarus is sick, He doesn't rush to his side—He waits. In this episode, we unpack the tension of John 11:1-26. Why does God sometimes seem slow to answer our pain? We'll look at the heartbreak of Mary and Martha, the raw humanity of Jesus, and the staggering moment He redefines reality by declaring, "I am the resurrection and the life." If you're sitting in a season of waiting or wondering if God has forgotten you, this episode is a powerful reminder that His delays are never denials. Where in your life right now does it feel like Jesus is arriving 'too late'—and how does knowing He delayed on purpose with Lazarus change how you view that waiting room? ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Send us Fan MailIn this first episode of our Loud Longings series, we explore a different way of looking at longing. Instead of treating it as a problem to fix, we ask what if that ache is actually pointing us toward something deeper. We share a simple breath prayer—“Lord Jesus” on the inhale, “meet me in my longing” on the exhale—and reflect on Psalm 42, where the psalmist openly acknowledges a deep thirst for God. Together, we consider how spiritual longing is not something to fear, but a part of how we were created.We also talk about the connection between longing, emotional eating, compulsive behaviors, and other ways we try to numb discomfort. Rather than asking, “What's wrong with me?” we invite a more honest question: “What am I truly longing for right now?” Looking at Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, we see how He meets thirsty people with compassion and offers Himself as the source of lasting satisfaction. We discuss common substitutes such as food, scrolling, busyness, achievement, control, and even ministry activity, and offer a simple practice for when cravings get loud: pause, notice, and pray, “Jesus, meet me here.”If you want a Christian podcast approach to cravings, shame resilience, and deeper intimacy with God, press play.

What does it actually look like to follow Jesus in everyday life? Not just during the big spiritual moments, but in the ordinary rhythms of work, family, uncertainty, relationships, and daily routines. In this powerful message from John 14 and Romans 8, we begin the Ordinary Time series by exploring one of the most important and often misunderstood realities of the Christian life. The Holy Spirit grows our intimacy with God. As Jesus prepares His disciples for His death, resurrection, and ascension, He tells them something shocking. It is actually better for them that He goes away because the Holy Spirit will come. For the disciples, this would have been difficult to understand. They had walked with Jesus face to face. They had watched Him teach, heal, perform miracles, and transform lives. Yet Jesus promises that the Helper, the Holy Spirit, will now dwell within His followers and continue His work in them. This sermon unpacks what it means to live with the Holy Spirit in the ordinary seasons of life. From graduations to career changes to moments of uncertainty, life often moves from anticipation into reality very quickly. We all experience moments where we realize, “This is my life now.” The question becomes, how do we continue following Jesus faithfully in those ordinary moments? One of the central themes of this message is intimacy with God. Many believers are comfortable seeing God as authority, leader, or boss, but struggle to experience Him as Father. Through the work of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit, believers are adopted into the family of God as sons and daughters. Romans 8 reminds us that we have not received a spirit of fear or slavery, but the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry, “Abba, Father.” This sermon also addresses several common misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit. Following the Holy Spirit is not reserved for elite Christians or spiritual experts. There is no secret formula, advanced level, or hidden knowledge required. Every believer receives the Holy Spirit at salvation, and the Holy Spirit works in every follower of Jesus to increase intimacy with God, illuminate Scripture, and shape us into the image of Christ. Throughout this teaching, we are reminded that the Christian life is not sustained through human effort alone. The fruit of the Spirit is not the result of self improvement, achievement, or performance. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control are produced through the Holy Spirit working within us. God has a vision for our lives, and through the Spirit He lovingly shapes us as His children. This message also offers hope for those carrying wounds, especially wounds connected to fathers, authority, shame, or fear. Many people struggle to trust God because of painful experiences in earthly relationships. Yet through the Holy Spirit, God patiently teaches His people what it means to truly know Him as a loving Father whose acceptance and love are secure through Jesus Christ. If you have ever felt distant from God, unsure how to grow spiritually, confused about the Holy Spirit, or exhausted from trying to earn God's approval, this sermon will encourage you. It points back to the truth that intimacy with God is not something we achieve. It is something God grows in us through His Spirit. Join us as we begin the Ordinary Time series and discover how the Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus faithfully in the everyday moments of life.
