Most of us carry hidden weights that block the abundant life Jesus promises. What if the secret to true freedom is simply making a powerful decision—one that begins with forgiveness? If you're tired of the emotional and spiritual heaviness that unforgiveness brings, this episode will show you how to break free and restore your joy. Right here, you'll discover the profound truth that forgiveness isn't about condoning the hurtful actions—it’s about choosing peace for yourself. Teresa Jordan reveals how forgiving others, even when it's difficult, can release you from the trap of resentment, much like escaping a baited trap in the Greek. She shares inspiring real-life stories of estranged families and how the simple act of forgiving can transform relationships and revitalize your spirit. You'll learn practical steps to invite Jesus into your pain, ask for His help, and take the decisive action to forgive, regardless of your feelings. We'll break down the biblical foundation of forgiveness in Matthew 18 and the power of choosing forgiveness over harboring resentment. Teresa shares how letting go isn’t just emotional—it’s spiritual warfare that clears the way for God's abundant blessings to flow into your life. Discover how forgiving yourself is equally vital and how this act can set a new course toward peace, joy, and freedom. If you're ready to let go of the poison of unforgiveness and embrace a life overflowing with joy, peace, and healing, this episode is your guide. Make the choice. Invite Jesus into your broken places. Set yourself free and start living the abundant life today. Every week brings two ways to grow: Tuesdays dive into the physical next steps with real-life guidance for seniors and families, and Fridays uplift the heart with spiritual and emotional next steps—encouragement, faith, and hope for the journey ahead.

In Luke 5:1–11, Peter obeys Jesus' command to go deeper and experiences abundance — then leaves everything to follow Him. This 2 Minute Disciple devotional invites us to trust Jesus in areas of disappointment and “Go Deeper” in faith today.

All of us face spiritual struggles. Some times they are just ours alone. Sometimes they affect others. Invite Jesus to display His power and learn from Him

This is message 7 in Gospel Record of John John 2:1-12 Jesus reveals His glory by working quietly and powerfully in the ordinary moments of life when He is invited in. He takes situations marked by lack and transforms them into abundance, not through display, but through obedience and trust. Those who listen to His voice and follow His direction are the ones who see His hand at work. True faith grows as believers watch Him turn emptiness into fullness and replace potential shame with joy, deepening confidence in who He is and what He can do.

Invite Jesus into the messiness of your life

When you reach the end of your life and look back at your story, what will have mattered the most? Most people will say the time they spent with loved ones. For me, it's a message I get to share with everyone I meet, and I love it so much! When this message sinks into people's hearts, it gives birth to hope. This message saves people. Can I share it with you right now? God, the one Who made everything, Who formed you in your mother's womb before you took your first breath, loves you. And you can know Him. If you ask Him, He will take the pain and the shame of every wrong thing you've done. And He will set you free and give you new life. Isn't this good news?! Invite Jesus into your heart today. "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13 Always remember, there is hope with God. radio.hopewithgod.com

Have you ever faced the heartbreak of a dream that didn't come true? That kind of grief is real, and it runs deep. But I want you to know—you are not alone. Jesus Himself understands sorrow. The Bible tells us that He was… …a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. He knows what it is to weep, to feel the weight of heavy loss. And yet, He promises that sorrow is not the end of your story. If you're walking through grief right now, don't rush past it. Let Jesus carry you through it, and that will bring you healing and peace, and a joy that will be restored at just the right time. You can begin your new life with Jesus today. Invite Jesus to transform your life and carry you in your grief. You are not alone. You are seen, and you are loved. And there is hope ahead for you. Always remember, there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. "He was despised and rejected—     a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.     He was despised, and we did not care." Isaiah 53:3 radio.hopewithgod.com

Read OnlineMany of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother [Lazarus, who had died]. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” John 11:19–22Today's memorial is relatively new within our Church. In the year 2021, Pope Francis replaced the Memorial of Saint Martha with this memorial in honor of all three siblings: Martha, Mary and Lazarus. In commenting on the reason for this new memorial, the Congregation for Divine Worship stated: “Martha generously offered him hospitality, Mary listened attentively to his words, and Lazarus promptly emerged from the tomb at the command of the One who humiliated death.” Furthermore, these three siblings gave an evangelical witness to us all. They model for us how to be Christians within our imperfections. They did this by welcoming Jesus into their home, by listening to Him attentively, and by believing that He is the Resurrection and the Life. These three siblings each had their own unique personality and loved Jesus in their own way. Though not much is said about Lazarus' personal interactions with Jesus, we do have some helpful insights into both Martha and Mary. In one Gospel story, Martha complained to Jesus that her sister left her to do all the cooking. Jesus gently corrected her. Mary, on the other hand, gave a witness of deep prayer and love of Jesus by sitting at His feet listening to Him. However, in the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead, there is a reversal of roles. Martha is the one who runs out to meet Jesus and expresses her deep faith in Him. Mary, on the other hand, heard that Jesus was coming and appeared to stay at home because she was upset. Perhaps the most helpful way to ponder these siblings is to acknowledge two things. First, they are now saints in Heaven enjoying eternal beatitude and glory. Second, on earth they were people of faith and love, but they were also very clearly imperfect. Therefore, the witness they give to us should be twofold. We hope to share in the glory in which they now share, and we trust this will happen if we also befriend our Lord and welcome Him into our homes, imperfect though we may be. Reflect, today, upon this holy but imperfect family. The imperfections and manifest weaknesses of these three siblings should encourage us to press on in our practice of the faith when things are not perfect in our lives either. There are many reasons why we might get discouraged or feel like doubting or giving up at times. Perhaps things are not perfect within the Church—or at the particular church you attend. Perhaps you are struggling with loving someone in your family. Perhaps you are struggling with an emotional issue. Perhaps there is some sin you seem to be incapable of overcoming. Perhaps you struggle with a physical ailment and wonder why God permitted it to happen. If you are able to relate to any of these, or any other forms of imperfection, then take inspiration from this family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. Invite Jesus into the home of your heart, your family home and everywhere you go. He will come, gently correct you when needed, and give you the gift of new life, raising you up from your sins and weaknesses. Lord, You befriended this ordinary family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. You visited their home, received their hospitality, gently corrected them when needed and eventually raised them to the new life of eternal glory. May I also welcome You into the home of my soul, within my family and into every aspect of my life. Please come to me and raise me to the newness of the life of grace.

Episode 172: Ways to Engage Jesus in Everyday LifeHow do we engage Jesus in the process of everyday life? 1. To engage Him in our day to day activities, we must invite Him in and ask for His help.2. We should engage Jesus in our daily decisions. Invite Jesus in and ask for His wisdom and His help as you make simple decisions and difficult decisions.3. We are to engage Him in all areas - including our finances, filing our taxes, etc. - and let Him guide us.4.. As you set goals, make plans, or take your next steps - engage Jesus into the process of setting these goals, making these plans, and taking these steps. Allow time to pray - maybe even 30 days - praying and listening.5. Engaging is talking, listening, and reading God's word. Allow some quiet time and wait to hear from Him. Practice engaging the presence of Jesus.6. Engage Jesus in the hard season. Seek Him - not for the answer - but because He IS The Answer. Engage Him because this is the time that you can grow and see your faith strengthened. He wastes nothing and He redeems everything.7. Engage Him and ask Him to help you lead others to Him.Scripture Reference: Hebrews 1:1-3 We hope this is an encouragement to you.CONNECT WITH US AT:▶︎Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/EngageforMore▶︎Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/engageformore/Engage for More is a Top 100 Christian Podcast on the Feedspot List.

We look at Jesus's first miracle at the wedding in Cana and uncover key principles to receiving favor: - Invite Jesus into your life. Just like Jesus was invited to the wedding, you must welcome Him into your life and circumstances. - Seek no glory but God's. Favor is not about personal recognition but about serving God's purpose. - Believe that God cares and be persistent. Trust that God is good, and keep your faith in His ability to help you. - Trust God's way. Whether through a miracle or a different path, God's way is always the best. Through powerful examples in Scripture—like the royal official's desperate plea for his son's healing and Peter's trust in Jesus during a challenging fishing trip—we see how God's favor flows when we invite Him in, trust His plan, and honor Him with all the glory. If you need favor in your life, this sermon will encourage you to trust God fully and seek His presence in your challenges.

Have you experienced rejection? Listen to this passage from the book of Ephesians in the Bible… Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. The loving embrace of our perfect Father can change your life forever. It's never too late to start again. No matter what you've done, you can be made new and clean through the powerful, loving sacrifice of Jesus. He died on the cross to wash away every sin, every wrong thing that you've ever done. Invite Jesus to be Lord of your life right now, and receive God's gift of love, acceptance, and belonging. Always remember there is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau.

Have you ever felt stuck in a rut? Like all you do is go to work, come home, eat, and sleep, just to go back to work and do it all over again the next morning? This endless cycle can feel maddening! But did you know that God never intended for our work to be a burden? In fact, God gave Adam the job of caretaker of the world as a GIFT – as an opportunity to partner with Himself! And guess what? Jesus is extending the same gift to you today! When you dedicate your work to God, you become a partner with Him. Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Jesus wants to take your daily work and make it so much more than toil! He wants to partner with you in the redemption of the world! Invite Jesus into your work today.

What does it look like to invite Jesus into our recovery process? In this Part 2 episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, continues the conversation around some practical steps we can take to invite Jesus into our recovery process and the fruit we can expect from that very important life decision.

In Celebrate Recovery we understand that Jesus has to be the center of our recovery. But what does it look like practically to invite Jesus into our recovery process, and what is the fruit of that choice - whether we're just starting out or already on our recovery journey? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, begins to unpack this important topic.

If you saw a maniac become calm and sane, wouldn't you want to follow the One who had healed him? But the crowds who witnessed that very miracle chose to run Jesus out of town. When people turn their backs on Jesus and say, “Get out,” He leaves. But wherever we invite Jesus, He will come. Let's invite Jesus into our lives today.

Have you ever wondered if God speaks more loudly through our feasts and fasts, than He does through our mundane, ordinary circumstances? In this episode in our “Come to the Table” series on the Jewish and Christian feasts, Stephanie reflects on the significance of ordinary time, the ordinary moments of life. They are the backdrop to our feast days. They are the bulk of our time. The present, nestled between special feasts, serves as a space where believers are called to live in anticipation of Jesus' return and seek God's presence and delight in all moments. The question is, how did Jesus experience His own mundane and ordinary days? What does He wish to impart to us through them? So, Stephanie invites us to consider how the body of Christ functions during ordinary time, focusing on the importance of living in unity. This period of ordinary time is an opportunity for spiritual growth and for experiencing the lived reality of Jesus in everyday moments, celebrating the cyclical nature of the liturgical calendar. That word, liturgy. It can be ambiguous. Off-putting to some, attractive to others. Liturgy is simply the chosen flow of a service, or a day, or a life. It is how a particular local body of believers chooses to approach God, especially on Sundays but not only. It varies from church to church, with much to learn from the manifold practices of our brothers and sisters around the world. Stephanie's extensive personal experience with various church traditions, including Anglican, charismatic, reformed, Pentecostal, and non-denominational, highlights the diverse ways in which different traditions approach worship and liturgical practices. Understanding the concept of liturgy as the way a particular tradition conducts its services, including prayers, readings, and rituals, is an invitation into the richness and diversity within the body of Christ. Ordinary time is characterized by its lack of special feasts, representing the ordered life of the church and a period of watchfulness for the second coming of Jesus. Divided into two seasons, ordinary time serves as a call to unity within the body of Christ, inviting believers to keep Jesus at the center of mundane routines. Within ordinary time, we have weekly min-feasts called Sabbaths. So, how did Jesus experience them? How do Sabbaths fit at the table of God's Presence? Sabbath is associated with rest, refreshment, freedom, and joy, serving as a day of rest and a reminder of humanity's co-partnership with God. Stephanie discusses Jesus' claim of authority over the Sabbath, highlighting how He emphasized its wholesome nature to be a source of blessing. The Sabbath is a time of rest and delight, providing a sacred space to experience God's presence and embrace His joy. Today, we invite you to embrace the beauty of ordinary days, seek unity in the body of Christ, and live in hopeful expectation while finding rest and delight in the Sabbath. We invite you to cultivate a lifelong liturgy of delight in Christ, breathing new life into everyday moments as we journey towards the eagerly anticipated return of Jesus. Join us! OPTIONAL RESOURCE | Stephanie mentions the creation of a liturgy booklet designed to cultivate a lifelong liturgy of delight in Christ. This booklet consists of short liturgies for everyday moments, aiming to inspire you in building and nurturing a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. The liturgical year is presented as a means to grow in intimacy with Christ, providing an avenue to know Him more intimately in everyday life. Go to gospelspice.com or ask us about it!

Read OnlineMany of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother [Lazarus, who had died]. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him; but Mary sat at home. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” John 11:19–22Today's memorial is relatively new within our Church. In the year 2021, Pope Francis replaced the Memorial of Saint Martha with this memorial in honor of all three siblings: Martha, Mary and Lazarus. In commenting on the reason for this new memorial, the Congregation for Divine Worship stated: “Martha generously offered him hospitality, Mary listened attentively to his words, and Lazarus promptly emerged from the tomb at the command of the One who humiliated death.” Furthermore, these three siblings gave an evangelical witness to us all. They model for us how to be Christians within our imperfections. They did this by welcoming Jesus into their home, by listening to Him attentively, and by believing that He is the Resurrection and the Life.These three siblings each had their own unique personality and loved Jesus in their own way. Though not much is said about Lazarus' personal interactions with Jesus, we do have some helpful insights into both Martha and Mary. In one Gospel story, Martha complained to Jesus that her sister left her to do all the cooking. Jesus gently corrected her. Mary, on the other hand, gave a witness of deep prayer and love of Jesus by sitting at His feet listening to Him. However, in the story of the raising of Lazarus from the dead, there is a reversal of roles. Martha is the one who runs out to meet Jesus and expresses her deep faith in Him. Mary, on the other hand, heard that Jesus was coming and appeared to stay at home because she was upset.Perhaps the most helpful way to ponder these siblings is to acknowledge two things. First, they are now saints in Heaven enjoying eternal beatitude and glory. Second, on earth they were people of faith and love, but they were also very clearly imperfect. Therefore, the witness they give to us should be twofold. We hope to share in the glory in which they now share, and we trust this will happen if we also befriend our Lord and welcome Him into our homes, imperfect though we may be. Reflect, today, upon this holy but imperfect family. The imperfections and manifest weaknesses of these three siblings should encourage us to press on in our practice of the faith when things are not perfect in our lives either. There are many reasons why we might get discouraged or feel like doubting or giving up at times.Perhaps things are not perfect within the Church—or at the particular church you attend. Perhaps you are struggling with loving someone in your family. Perhaps you are struggling with an emotional issue. Perhaps there is some sin you seem to be incapable of overcoming. Perhaps you struggle with a physical ailment and wonder why God permitted it to happen. If you are able to relate to any of these, or any other forms of imperfection, then take inspiration from this family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. Invite Jesus into the home of your heart, your family home and everywhere you go. He will come, gently correct you when needed, and give you the gift of new life, raising you up from your sins and weaknesses. Lord, You befriended this ordinary family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. You visited their home, received their hospitality, gently corrected them when needed and eventually raised them to the new life of eternal glory. May I also welcome You into the home of my soul, within my family and into every aspect of my life. Please come to me and raise me to the newness of the life of grace. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Pastor Andy continues in the series Journey Into Your Imagination. "Invite Jesus into everything you do"

The message from special guest, comedian Michael Jr., explores big ideas about God's love and how inviting Jesus into our lives can change everything. God's love is for everyone and it's important to really understand that. Using simple stories, this message shows how listening to God, like following directions on a GPS, helps us find our way through life's ups and downs. #OpenTheDoorToGod #LetJesusIn #LiquidChurch

Who do you think Jesus is? Some people think He was just a great teacher or a prophet. But Jesus shocked the religious people of His day when He made this bold statement, “Whoever obeys my teaching will never die.” They wondered- how could Jesus say such a thing when even the father of the faith, Abraham, had died? Did Jesus think he was better than Abraham? Jesus answered them, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am!” When Jesus says, “I am,” He's claiming to be God. The one who was not created, but was The Creator who existed before time, and definitely before Abraham came along. Jesus is God in human form—truth with skin on. And He came to the earth as a sacrifice for many so that people like you and me could share in the eternal life that He offers. You can receive that gift of new life. Invite Jesus to be Lord of your life, today. radio.hopewithgod.com

Have you ever felt stuck in a rut? Like all you do is go to work, come home, eat, and sleep, just to go back to work and do it all over again the next morning? This endless cycle can feel maddening! But did you know that God never intended for our work to be a burden? In fact, God gave Adam the job of caretaker of the world as a GIFT – as an opportunity to partner with Himself! And guess what? Jesus is extending the same gift to you today! When you dedicate your work to God, you become a partner with Him. Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” Jesus wants to take your daily work and make it so much more than toil! He wants to partner with you in the redemption of the world! Invite Jesus into your work today. 

In this episode, you will learn how to invite Jesus into your fitness. Together, we will find motivation in His example. Start listening to get over 20 ways to invite Jesus into your fitness. Learn how fit He was, and how He is the answer you've been missing.  Elisabeth Elliot's quote captures the need for faith in our fitness perfectly… “We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies to ourselves.”  The goal of this episode is to impress upon you how important you are to God. You are the manager of the temple He has given you on this earth. Your body is not your own, so it needs to be taken care of the way the owner, God, would take care of it. This means you need to take full control of your health and fitness so you can walk in victory. Fitness was an area of struggle for me, so I understand what it feels like to not know how to get fit, but God changed all of that. What about you, friend? Has getting fit been an area of struggle for you too? Give God this time today, press play, and make Him the Lord of your life, even in your fitness.
