Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we contemplate the two hundred plus mornings mentioned in the Bible with author and Bible teacher Jennifer Dukes Lee. Jennifer walks us through notable mornings from Scripture, like God’s first creation on earth when He said “let there be light,” to Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, and the tasks God gives people like Abraham, Moses, and Jacob to begin at daybreak. Jennifer reminds us how each sunrise reminds us that God’s mercies are new each and every day, giving us built-in do-overs and a chance to fall in love with life and the role God has for us all over again.

And it’s like God saying to you, ‘Welcome to a new day. This is your day to love and enjoy and to be present with Me.’” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “On the morning when Jesus was crucified… we don’t like to think about Jesus on a cross and how painful that is. But it reminds me that Jesus gets our hard mornings, and some of the most sacred mornings in Scripture don’t start with joy, they start in the dark.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “We have this idea that everything will be better in the morning. That doesn’t mean our problems are going to disappear, but it does mean that God could change something in us even if our circumstances don’t change.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee “It doesn’t matter what time I get up, or how much I can accomplish before 8:00 AM. What matters is that I can bring the hopefulness that God promises at the start of a new day and bring that into my life, beginning with the moment my feet hit the floor.” - Jennifer Dukes Lee ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Tom Logue - June 7th 2026 What if the biggest thing you're stealing... is your own life from God? Most people spend their lives trying to discover their purpose, build their purpose, or create their purpose. But what if the question isn't "What do I want my life to be?" What if the deeper question is "Who does my life belong to?" We live in a world obsessed with ownership, control, and self-determination. Yet beneath the surface is a tension many of us quietly carry: the feeling that we were made for more than chasing comfort, success, approval, or even our own plans. Jesus confronts that tension head-on. This message wrestles with conviction, pride, hidden motives, and the subtle ways we resist God's authority while still claiming to follow Him. It challenges us to consider whether we've been offering God what is convenient—or whether He is actually worthy of everything. If you've ever struggled with purpose, felt spiritually stuck, wrestled with surrender, or wondered why following Jesus can feel so difficult, this message speaks directly into that battle. The invitation is simple, but it changes everything: stop holding on so tightly, and discover what happens when your life is fully placed in the hands of the One whose image you bear.

In this episode of the Soul Inspiring Business Podcast, Kara Chafin Donofrio reflects on the powerful connection between faith, business, purpose, and daily intentionality. Inspired by a devotional from Jesus Calling by Sarah Young, Kara shares how inviting God into the beginning of the day can shape the way we lead, communicate, serve, and navigate difficult business conversations with more peace and clarity.Episode Topics:Faith and business as one connected expressionStarting the day with God and intentionWhy entrepreneurship can feel lonelyUsing prayer to guide communication and decisionsShowing up with humility, peace, and purposeHandling difficult conversations with trustCreating space for God before the day beginsInsights:Kara reminds listeners that business and faith do not have to live in separate worlds. When work is rooted in service, purpose, and love, it becomes a meaningful extension of who we are.She shares the idea of “clothing yourself in God” each morning, allowing your thoughts, words, and actions to be guided before stepping into meetings, conversations, conflict, or decision-making.A personal story with a team member shows how prayer can create alignment before a difficult conversation even begins. Both Kara and her team member had prayed for guidance that morning, and the conversation became exactly what both of them needed.The episode encourages listeners to look at areas of life or business that feel out of control and ask whether they have truly invited God into those situations.Take a few minutes this week before checking your phone, jumping into work, or rushing into the day. Invite God into your thoughts, words, meetings, and decisions.

This week, we’re talking with astronaut Butch Wilmore who has spent 465 days off-planet, giving him a literally out-of-this-world perspective on God’s creation. From fighter jet pilot to Space Shuttle commander, Wilmore’s career was a testament to preparation and discipline. However, his faith was truly tested when a spacecraft Wilmore was manning began losing thrusters—and he was just a prayer away from spiraling toward potential disaster. Next up, we speak with Brooke Envick, a veteran dean in higher education, who recounts how achieving every professional milestone left her feeling empty. She discusses combining lessons from neuroscience with practices like gratitude and prayer, revealing how a sudden, debilitating health crisis forced her into a necessary stillness that ultimately paved the way for profound, lasting internal change.

Understanding and knowing that the atmosphere protects the planet and enables us to have the air to breathe that we need, and all of that, and it’s all supplied by our Lord and Savior, our God, the Creator of all things, that is a special thing to view from that vantage point.” - Butch Wilmore “In all types of strenuous situations that we come through in life—to where realizing the Lord’s in control, He is sovereign, working providentially for His Glory and our ultimate good, if we believe. And that is the mainstay of who I am, what I understand, what I know God’s Word to say. And again, even in those moments, it brings intense comfort and intense hope. There’s always, always, eternal hope, regardless of what takes place.” - Butch Wilmore “You’ve got to be completely committed, all in, and that commitment breeds the preparation that is required for whatever the tasks are that you’re undertaking, because the responsibility is great, sometimes greater in certain areas than others.” - Butch Wilmore “I have to come at whatever the task is with a complete mindset of being prepared, disciplined in that preparation, because that’s what it takes—and in those extremist situations, maintaining the focus that’s required to do the task, whatever that might be.” - Butch Wilmore “Anything that we have, everything that we are capable of doing, everything that we are tasked with doing, He’s given us the ability, and to Him be the glory.” - Butch Wilmore “Life is tough, and in every situation, everything in life, you have to want whatever it is that’s going forward. You have to want it, you’ve got to be committed, you’ve got to prepare, because the responsibility is great that God requires of us, in all aspects of our lives.” - Butch Wilmore “God was still shaping me in that moment and it taught me that real change doesn’t always come from moving faster or starting over. Sometimes it actually happens from stopping and listening and allowing God to align your inner life before sending you forward again.” - Brooke Envick “I found that scripture gave me a lot of insight into broader wisdom and lessons from the Bible, prayer gave me a connection and ongoing conversation with God, and meditation brought alignment to my life. It helped me slow down and focus my thoughts and become more intentional about how I was responding to life, instead of simply reacting to it.” - Brooke Envick “What we return to consistently is what begins to shape our thought patterns, emotional responses, and also our sense of peace. So when we connect with God daily, we reinforce those neural pathways associated with calm, trust, and meaning. Devotionals like Jesus Calling help us create space for that daily attunement and moments when we need to pause and listen and realign our thoughts with truth and with trust. What I’ve seen in my own life is that daily connection doesn’t remove challenges, but it changes how we move through them.” - Brooke Envick “Faith isn’t meant to be passive. God gives us direction, purpose, and trust, but He expects us to use the tools He gives us to make progress.” - Brooke Envick “Faith shapes the why, which is our meaning, our purpose, and our trust in God, and neuroscience reveals the how.” - Brooke Envick ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, in which we hone in on the character of Abigail in the Bible with singer/songwriter, author and Dove Award-winning artist Nicole C. Mullen. Nicole shows us how we can apply Abigail’s courageous principles to our own lives in order to stand up for what’s right, even when we’re surrounded by wrongs, and what it looks like to raise our voices in a way that’s full of grace and freedom. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Nicole C. Mullen Corrie ten Boom Mother Teresa It’s Never Wrong to Do the Right Thing by Nicole C. Mullen Interview Quotes: “I love studying the lives of biblical women because they remind me of myself. When I see in Scripture how God dealt with them, I know He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever, and what He did is what He still does. Their stories give me hope in my now and in my future.” - Nicole C. Mullen “[The story of Abigail] is one of those stories that’s encouraged me throughout the years to make wise decisions. Sometimes I, too, will have to run interference for the safety of my home.” - Nicole C. Mullen “Abigail’s story teaches us spiritual discernment in the realm of if there is a situation where we are faced with the decision between right and wrong, good and evil, I believe we are called to act on behalf of the good.” - Nicole C. Mullen “I was abused physically for a few years, and I had to make a decision as to, Do I continue to stay and remain silent and allow fear to make me voiceless? Or do I borrow the courage of other sheroes that have come before me?” - Nicole C. Mullen “I’m very passionate about encouraging other women and letting them know they have a voice, and that Scripture allows them to beautifully turn up the volume.” - Nicole C. Mullen “I see the Abigail spirit all the time in women who may never gain notoriety. Their names may never become famous. They may never wear a cape or have an S on their chest. But on the inside, they are sheroes, because they have courageously stood against evil, and so I applaud them.” - Nicole C. Mullen “We’re not called to be quiet when it comes to righteousness and justice and things that are promoted as biblical values. We’re called to raise our voices in a way that’s full of wisdom, full of intelligence, full of beauty, full of grace, and full of freedom.” - Nicole C.

This is part two of my discussion with Warren Smith. As I mentioned last week, I consider him to be the foremost expert on the subject of the New Age, not only because of the time he spent in it but his scrutiny of it from a biblical perspective in many of the books such as The Light That Was Dark: From the New Age to Amazing Grace; he did a book on Deceived on Purpose, dealing with Rick Warren's teachings. But a book that I think everybody has to have, especially because of the influence of Jesus Calling, Warren wrote Another “Jesus Calling.” So, Warren, thanks for joining me again on Search the Scriptures 24/7.
Do you ever feel like your time with God does not look the way it used to before motherhood? In this episode, I'm talking about the quiet guilt many Christian moms carry when prayer, Bible reading, and closeness with Jesus feel more interrupted, more woven into daily life, and less like the long quiet stretches they once imagined. I'm sharing a devotional reading from Jesus Calling that brought me a lot of peace in this season, and I want to help you see that scripture still matters deeply, prayer still matters deeply, and your walk with God still matters deeply, even when this season looks different than the one before it. I'm talking about prayer while washing dishes, worship in the car, scripture carried through the day, and letting our children hear real faith in real life. This is not about lowering the importance of time with the Lord. It is about letting go of false guilt and learning to walk closely with Jesus in the life you are actually living right now. Scripture referenced: 1 Thessalonians 5:17, Proverbs 3:6, Deuteronomy 6 XOXO, Katie
Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we take a look at the book of Romans with pastor and author J.D. Walt. J.D. walks us through Romans and how it illuminates a “darkness to light movement, chaos to love, and chaos to new creation.” Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens J.D. Walt Romans: From Sin Management to Love Unleashed The Book of Romans Interview Quotes: “The awakening that I was experiencing led me to understand that the Christian life and faith is not a good-to-great program. It’s a death to life movement. It’s a darkness to light movement. It is chaos to love, chaos to new creation, lost to love.” - J.D. Walt “Consecration, transformation, demonstration—that’s Romans in a nutshell. That’s a Christian life in a nutshell.” - J.D. Walt “In the early church, they had a saying: one Christian is no Christian. Certainly every person has to become a follower of Jesus, a believer themselves. But this is not like golf, it’s like football. It’s a team sport. We are made for community, we already are connected together.” - J.D. Walt “One of the greatest acts is simply being together in God’s Word, because it’s a Word that actually moves us towards each other. It moves us towards loving one another. Love must be sincere, Paul says in Romans 12.” - J.D. Walt “The opposite of sin is love. Love is the movement toward God and others. Sin is the retraction of self into its own world at the cost of worship of God and love of neighbor. We need a better understanding of love—love is not soft and fuzzy, it’s hard and real.” - J.D.

This week, we’re joined by beloved television host, actress, songwriter, and author Kathie Lee Gifford. Kathie Lee shares her deeply personal faith journey, emphasizing that she is not a “churchy person” but a “relationship person.” She advocates for understanding the Scriptures deeply, going beyond surface-level readings, and ultimately seeking to bring Jews and Christians together in the love story of God. Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Dr. Julia Garcia, also known as Dr. J., who joins us to dismantle the myth that hope is an elusive personality trait. Drawing from years of clinical practice and her own raw, lived experience—including overcoming addiction, failed businesses, and seasons of deep uncertainty—Dr. J offers a powerful, practical pathway back to hope, even when the darkness feels permanent.

The Lord gives us a conscience for a reason.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “I follow Him, and I’m going to use every opportunity that comes my way to proclaim Him, because people are hurting. People are broken. People are desperate. People are hungry, not just for food. They’re hungry for life itself. They’re hungry for the truth. The only thing that has been constant in my life that never changes is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “Our life should be a prayer constantly.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “I think religion puts us in chains, and Jesus came to get us out of the chains. It’s all about relationship, not religion, and I think we’ve really lost touch with that in Western Christianity.” - Kathie Lee Gifford “I’ve always had to go back to different habits at different times to make sure that I don’t associate how I feel with who I am.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Hope is not a personality trait. People can feel like they need to have a huge amount of hope. It just takes that mustard seed—a tiny, tiny, tiny, little piece of hope is enough to carry you through.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Habits of hope are an emotional framework to help us with those perspective shifts so we can interrupt harmful thought patterns.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “We’re going to have to get a lot stronger in our ability to emotionally risk so that we can deepen our relationships, not just with other people, but in our faith and with ourselves.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “We can reshape our thought patterns by constantly interrupting them and building these little tiny practices of hope, these emotional practices.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “The more we learn language around identifying what support would look like or feel like, the more we can get in the emotional habit of receiving that support. But it starts with us identifying what it is, who it is, and what we need from those people—our support pillars—so that we can receive hope.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Being honest has helped me heal because you can’t have hope without honesty.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “Keep coming back to that place that aligns you with God’s call on your life. Even if the external things around you don’t make sense and it feels chaotic inside, just keep coming back, keep aligning back to the voice that you know is real and true.” - Dr. Julia Garcia “If we can just take a moment to receive the truth that we are not alone, that we are enough, then that is a building place for us to help navigate out of that feeling of feeling stuck or overwhelmed. It’s to replace these feelings with truth, with identity statements, reminding us who we are. We are not alone and we are made perfect in His image.” - Dr. Julia Garcia ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we do a deep dive on misunderstood women in the Bible with author, podcaster, and speaker Mary DeMuth. Many of us grew up hearing the stories of women like Bathsheba, Tamar, and the Woman at the Well, often presented in a simplified—and sometimes judgmental—light. But what if the Sunday School lessons we learned missed the mark by overlooking the cultural context, the brutal realities of the time, and what the Bible actually says about these women? Mary DeMuth takes us through a powerful rereading of their narratives, challenging the common misconceptions.

And it gave me an ignited desire to highlight these women because they are part of the story of Scripture.” - Mary DeMuth “These women, maybe like you, were misunderstood, misjudged. You can learn a lot from these women of the Bible.” - Mary DeMuth “I think a lot of women ask, How can I get rid of this feeling? How can I get rid of this pain, this trauma, this worry? And yet the Lord is so good, He is with us when we walk through those kinds of really painful journeys.” - Mary DeMuth “If you have felt like things have been really, really, hard, God is at work. And there will be a moment when He brings healing.” - Mary DeMuth “One of the themes of my life has been how God has intersected a very broken, traumatic story and brought beauty out of it, healing me to bring me into places of ambassadorship where I am able to walk alongside those who have a similar story and just to see the beauty of the Lord intersecting them.” - Mary DeMuth ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Fix Your Eyes On JesusEphesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”This verse is an important one. It is something I think we forget more than we remember. At least I know I forget this often. I do know I am saved because Jesus died on a cross for my sins. I know I am not saved because of my own actions. I know there are no works that I could do to save myself because Jesus already paid the ultimate sacrifice. I know all of this, and yet sometimes I still try to do it all myself. Sometimes I try to fix things myself. Instead of immediately turning to the Lord when things get tough, I try to fix them myself. I do all that is humanly possible to do, and then when that doesn't work, I turn to the Lord. Do you know why it doesn't work when we try to do things on our own? Because we were trying to do it on our own. We can't do anything on our own, and why would we want to when we have a heavenly Father who wants to do it with us? This morning's devotional was about this same message. The daily devotional I am reading this year is called “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young. I am really enjoying this one because the devotionals are not super long, and they are written as if they are a direct message to you from Jesus. It's great to get a personal message from Jesus each morning. I'm going to read you the message from this morning because I think it illustrates this verse well. "I want you to experience the riches of your salvation: the joy of being loved constantly and perfectly. You make a practice of judging yourself based on how you look, behave, or feel. If you like what you see in the mirror, you feel a bit more worthy of my love. When things are going smoothly, and your performance seems adequate, you find it easier to believe you are my beloved child. When you feel discouraged, you tend to look inward so you can correct whatever is wrong. Instead of trying to “fix” yourself, fix your gaze on me, the lover of your soul. Rather than using your energy to judge yourself, redirect it to praising Me. Remember that I see you clothed in My righteousness, radiant in My perfect Love.”This gives some great examples, I think we can all relate to. It is easier for us to feel loved when we like what we see in the mirror or when we feel we are doing a good job. It is easier to think we are God's beloved children when we are attending church, showing up for our prayer time, and helping others. However, what about when we aren't? What about when we are snoozing through prayer time and missing church on Sunday? What about when we are not being kind and loving, but we are being irritable and grumpy? Do we still know we are God's beloved child? Do we still believe we are loved? Or, do we struggle to believe it because we haven't earned his love or earned our spot as His beloved child? I can't answer that for you, but for me, I know I struggle with feeling like I have to earn it. The thing that bugs me the most is that I don't even know I am doing it. If you ask me if I have to earn God's love, I would say, “No.” I truly know I am loved no matter what. However, if you look at my actions, they say something else. Why is that? It is so frustrating when you know something on one level and yet your actions reveal that you might not know or accept it on all levels. This, I am sure, is a trick from the enemy. As mentioned in the letter from Wormwood in the Tuesday episode, the enemy wants to keep our brains in a fog. He wants to keep us from thinking clearly and asking too many questions. We need to resist this fog. We need to try to live as intentionally as we can. We can so easily go through our day on autopilot. We do the things we did yesterday; every day is similar, and we aren't even really thinking about what we are doing. We are just doing what we always do. However, what if what we always do isn't the best for us? What if we could do better if we lived more intentionally? In this message from the daily devotional, Jesus is calling us back to Him. He is calling us to stop trying fix ourselves and instead fix our eyes on Him. Hebrews 3:1 says, "Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest.” We need to stop turning our gaze inward and fix our gaze on Jesus. Look towards Him and then never take your eyes off Him! I love where it says in the devotional, “Rather than using your energy to judge yourself, redirect it to praising Me.” That is such a great piece of advice. Judging ourselves does take so much energy. Praising God will uplift your spirits, also. I love to praise God; I always feel so loved afterwards. Psalm 34:5 says, “Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.” When we are looking to God, we are radiant. We don't feel ashamed; we feel as though we are God's children because we know we are. I love it when God gives us the answers to the questions we are asking. If we want to know how we can experience the riches of our salvation and the joy of being loved constantly and perfectly, we need to fix our eyes on Jesus and redirect our energy to praise. Imagine if you could feel the joy of being loved constantly and perfectly? You can just turn your gaze to Jesus and praise Him.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, we are so grateful that you gave the ultimate sacrifice for us. We know we don't have to earn it, and yet we still try. Help us to stop that, Lord. Help us to accept your love and acceptance that is freely given. Help us to know in our inmost being that you love us no matter what, and we don't have to do anything to save ourselves. Your grace has already saved us. Help us accept your grace, Lord, and use it to praise you! We love you, Lord, you are so amazing. You are the best, and we are so grateful for you. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we do a deep dive on the book of Philippians with Nate Pickowicz, the pastor of Harvest Bible Church. Nate walks us through the context of Philippians, and the life of the author—the apostle Paul—revealing how when we turn to God in the middle of our fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, we can find joy and peace that transcends our circumstances. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Nate Pickowicz Overcoming the Darkness Book of Philippians Interview Quotes: “Paul is writing from a very personal experience, sort of an authoritative experience. He’s in prison writing about joy, this is something very near and dear to his heart.” - Nate Pickowicz “Even though [Paul’s] uncomfortable, even though he’s probably not where he wants to be, he’s not happy about where he is in prison, he has this transcendent view of his suffering that actually gives hope and gives an element of joy, because he knows that the gospel of Jesus Christ is going out because of that.” - Nate Pickowicz “Regardless of our circumstances, not only can we find joy in the midst of trouble, we can actually find a purpose for our suffering that God is using to accomplish His end.” - Nate Pickowicz “Paul connects these two worlds: he connects the experience of anxiety and worry and fear about the future, and he pairs it with thanksgiving and contentment and rejoicing.” - Nate Pickowicz “Once you recognize that everything that’s good comes from God, suddenly you realize that, If I’m anxious or worried, what might I need from the Lord? I can actually just turn to Him.” - Nate Pickowicz “Learning to become thankful becomes an antidote to anxiety and worry and fear and discontent. Being grateful to God for what He’s given changes the entire focus of our hearts.” - Nate Pickowicz ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Welcome to a special scripture-focused bonus episode of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we do a deep dive on the book of Proverbs with author Sherri Hughes-Gragg. Sherri walks us through the wisdom and compassion of God that are on full display in Proverbs, how short scripture passages like these can serve as a touchpoint to bring us back to God, and what it truly means to love our neighbors as ourselves. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Sherri Hughes-Gragg The Compassionate Christ Book of Proverbs Interview Quotes: “I think if we only read Proverbs at face value, we are missing a lot of the depth and the richness of the text. And I think that’s true for all of Scripture, actually. When we approach Scripture with the culture and history of the Bible in mind, it really illuminates it.” - Sherri Hughes-Gragg “One of the things I love about the Proverbs is how practical it is. When I open the Proverbs to read them, pretty much every time something hits me right between the eyes and challenges me, usually about the way I’m loving my neighbor.” - Sherri Hughes-Gragg “Books like the book of Proverbs have challenged me on what it means to live in right communication with God and my neighbor.” - Sherri Hughes-Gragg “God really is a compassionate, merciful God. More so than we could ever even imagine. His mercy and compassion are beyond our imagination. And when we begin to rest in that, we then have the capacity and the responsibility to live compassionately with others.” - Sherri Hughes-Gragg ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
Mark - The Suffering Servant for a suffering people
Welcome to a new monthly bonus series of the Jesus Calling Podcast, where we focus on specific books of scripture with an expert guest. This month, we’re doing a deep dive on the book of Luke with pastor and author Rob Morgan. Rob walks us through Luke’s vision for the gospel and the eyewitness accounts that it’s formed out of. He shares what we can learn from Zechariah and Elizabeth about being faithful, even when we’re anxious and disappointed. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens Robert Morgan World Outreach Church Book of Luke God Hasn’t Forgotten You Interview Quotes: “Luke is a very consummate historian who wrote with great accuracy and gave us the facts of the gospel so that we could be absolutely certain that when we read it, we were reading truth and true history.” - Rob Morgan “Whenever we worry, especially if the worry overtakes us and we just begin living in chronic anxiety, it’s a sign that we aren’t really trusting those promises of the God whom we believe. We are saying, ‘Well, I believe in God, but at this particular moment in my life, I’m not sure He is able to handle this.’” - Rob Morgan “John was the opening act for the Lord Jesus. He was the one who was going to preach a message of repentance which would convict people of their sins and give them a spiritual openness for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.” - Rob Morgan “Everything about our background, the good and the bad, everything about our lineage, the good characters and the bad characters, has been preparing us to do what God has called us to do. It’s all bound up in Jesus Christ. It’s His work and His ministry, but we have been appointed and preordained in order to be exactly where we should be to do what the Lord wants us to with the gifts that He has chosen for us to have.” - Rob Morgan “We may age, but we never get beyond the place where God can use us in ways greater than He’s ever used us before.” - Rob Morgan “The Lord has not forgotten us, and He wants to do some remarkable things in us and through us. And we get a pretty good glimpse of what some of those things are by reading Luke chapter one and the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth.” - Rob Morgan ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

The Christmas season is a beautiful time when the light of faith often breaks through in the most surprising and wonderful ways—and sometimes, right on prime-time television! We love watching artists who sing and speak from their hearts and who have shared their Jesus Calling journey with us, step onto the world’s biggest stages. December 2nd, that moment is happening on ABC with the annual CMA Country Christmas special. The show will also be available to stream on Hulu starting on December 3rd. We are thrilled that several friends of this show—talented artists who have graced our podcast and shared their stories with you—are part of this yearly event. We’ll revisit powerful moments of inspiration and deep connection from GRAMMY award winning artists Bebe Winans and Hillary Scott from Lady A, plus CMA Song of the year Award winner Jordan Davis, who will also be co-hosting this CMA Country Christmas special. Links, Products, and Resources Mentioned: Jesus Calling Podcast Jesus Calling Jesus Always Jesus Listens BeBe Winans Jordan Davis Hillary Scott Interview Quotes: “I don’t take music lightly. If I don’t believe in the song, I don’t sing the song. I really do believe this, that if it comes from the heart, it goes to the heart.” - BeBe Winans “All of us are born with a purpose. It’s important for you to find out what that purpose is, to not give up. I’m not a mistake, I am a child of God, and there is a world called destiny attached to my name.” - BeBe Winans “The more God does for me, the more I need to be closer to Him. Prayer is so important.” - BeBe Winans “The low points, the valleys of my life, come when I get away from Christ and when I start living for me and I start thinking about the things that are going to make me happy.” - Jordan Davis “God couldn’t care less how many number ones I have. That’s not what I got into music for—the accolades and number ones—I got into it because I loved it. If I leave it just to me, I will do it for all the wrong reasons. [I have to] put God first and realize how blessed I am to get to do this.” - Jordan Davis “Lord, put somebody in my life today that could use a light, somebody that’s lonely, somebody that needs some guidance. Let one of my messages get through to them.” - Jordan Davis “[My husband] Chris wakes up early and we’ll put worship music on and have it on low volume in our house because we believe that invites the Holy Spirit in, and we want to be mindful of His presence through us and through our home every day.” - Hillary Scott ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.
This Simple Discipline Always Protects Your Peace In this episode, I'm sharing a one-word response that's helped me hold onto peace, even in the small, messy moments of everyday life. It's something inspired by a line from Jesus Calling, and now it's become a habit that grounds me when things don't go as planned. I'll talk about: The phrase I say when life throws curveballs Why it's not about indifference, but holy release How this discipline builds the strength we need for bigger challenges This is one of those small shifts that can make a big difference.

Tom Logue - November 16th 2025 A soft heart welcomes the kingdom — a hard heart keeps it out. This week, Tom continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 19:1–12, where Jesus is confronted about marriage, divorce, and sexuality. In a culture — ancient and modern — that treats people and marriage as disposable, Jesus calls us back to God's original design: one man and one woman, united in covenant, not consumerism. Tom exposes how hardness of heart keeps us from being formed by God, and how the softness of surrender leads to real freedom. From Play-Doh analogies to powerful truths about covenant love and sexuality, this message challenges every listener — married or single — to yield to the Artist's hands and trust His good design.

Words Have Power to Bless or to WoundJames 1:19 “You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger.”This verse really hit home with me this morning. It was the subject of the daily devotional I am reading, “Jesus Calling.” Actually, it wasn't even today's message. I am behind because I was on vacation and I wasn't doing my normal morning routine. This morning I got up and decided I would do two devotionals so I can try to catch up to where I should be. This book is so good. I always really enjoy the devotionals. The reason I say this morning's devotional hit home for me is that I know how important words can be, and I know how much what we can say can hurt others. I just got back from a family vacation with my husband, all three of our boys, and my husband's whole family, his mom and dad, his brother and his wife, and their two girls. This is one of our favorite times of the year. It is so nice to get to spend a whole week with family. We get to hang out and talk. We get to play lots of games, especially with his mom and dad. My youngest two boys love to play with their two girls. They play all different board games and card games. It is music to my ears to hear them talking and laughing. The place we go to is a campground in Maine. We stay in a cabin with no internet. There is internet at the lodge, which is open 8-7, but not in our cabins. There is a TV, but it doesn't have cable; you can just watch movies on it. I love this because it means we have so much more time to talk and to visit. However, as you can imagine, my kids do not love this. Two of them really enjoy playing games with their cousins, playing chess with their Pop (Tony's dad), and playing Parcheesi with both Tony's parents. They also really enjoy it when we rent a boat and they get to go out in the boat and go fishing, or when we pull them behind the boat on a boogie board. However, that still leaves a lot of time when they are bored. They do not enjoy the fact that there is no Wifi. They miss talking with their friends on the computer and playing video games with their friends. Also, this year was super hot, and the cabins are not air-conditioned. Since our house is air-conditioned, they are not used to sleeping in such hot temperatures. Some parts of the trip were difficult for them.Our oldest really did not enjoy the vacation. He really liked spending time talking with Tony's brother, and he got to play chess with Pop a few times, but most of the time, he was unhappy. I did go out and get him a fan at one point, and he was much more comfortable after that, but he still was very unhappy. He is the reason this verse hit home today. When he is unhappy or angry, he says things he doesn't mean. He is really struggling right now, and being away from his friends and his work for a week was more than he could take. Each day, at least once a day, he would start to say very unkind things. Not because he really thinks those things were true, but because he was upset, and that is how he acts when he is upset. I don't know why he does this. It is not something new; he has done this ever since he was little. In the moment, when he is angry, he does not care what he is saying or who he is hurting. However, afterwards, he feels really bad about it. I wish he could hear this verse and adopt this principle. I am going to write it on a sticky note for him, because I know he doesn't want to do this. He doesn't want to feel this way; he doesn't want to say unkind things and then feel bad about it later. He needs help learning to control what he says, and it is not human help he needs. He needs the Lord's help. I know my son is not the only one who says things they don't mean when they are angry. We have all done this before. I thought I would read you the devotional I read this morning because it really explains this verse well and how important it is to watch our words. “Watch your words diligently. Words have such great power to bless or to wound. When you speak carelessly or negatively, you damage others as well as yourself. This ability to verbalize is an awesome privilege, granted only to those I created in my image. You need help in wielding this mighty power responsibly. Though the world applauds quick-witted retorts, my instructions about communication are quite different: “be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” Ask my spirit to help you whenever you speak. I have trained you to pray – "Help me, Holy Spirit" – before answering the phone, and you have seen the benefits of this discipline. Simply apply the same discipline to communicating with people around you. If they are silent, pray before speaking to them. If they are talking, pray before responding. These are split-second prayers, but they put you in touch with my presence. In this way, your speaking comes under the control of my spirit. As positive speech patterns replace your negative ones, the increase in your joy will amaze you.”I love the advice in this short devotional. Imagine how much different our interactions would be if we all paused before replying and said, “Help me, Holy Spirit.” Also, if you need to start a conversation with someone, you just quickly pause and say, “Help me, Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is within us. He is waiting for us to ask Him to help us. What if we got into the habit of doing that more often? I wonder how different our days would be? I wonder how much smoother our conversations would be? I love how it says, “In this way, you're speaking comes under the control of my Spirit.” Wouldn't you love that? I know I would. I would love it if everything that came out of my mouth was under the control of the Holy Spirit. I know I say the wrong things sometimes. I have gotten so much better than I was because I have spent a lot of hard work and time learning to say the right things and to say kind things. And yet, I still mess up, I still say the wrong things. I wish I had heard this before or thought of this before. I have prayed things like, “Lord, guard my mouth.” However, I never thought to say a quick half-second prayer every time I open my mouth. This sounds like it could be a great way to become better at my interactions with others. The other thing I wanted to quickly touch on, because it really touched me this morning, was the last three words, “slow to anger.” This touched me because sometimes I can be quick to anger. Sometimes I can take offense at small things. Sometimes I can get upset over things that weren't intentional or weren't really a big deal. I know I can't be the only person who does this. When I read them, it was as if the Holy Spirit shone a light on my actions. It was as if He was gently reminding me God wants us to be slow to anger. God doesn't want us to take things so personally. He doesn't want us to walk around taking offense and getting angry at everything we encounter. He wants us to be slow to anger. Is that you? Are you slow to anger, or are you quick to anger? If we are quick to anger, it doesn't mean we are bad. It just means we need to ask God for help. We need to ask Him to show us how to be slow to anger. It means we need to invite the Holy Spirit into more of our interactions. Maybe each morning when we get up, we can hand our day over to the Holy Spirit. Maybe we could say a quick prayer like, “Holy Spirit, come into all my interactions today. Help me be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. I give you permission to take control.” That would take not more than a second or two, and yet you are inviting the Holy Spirit into your daily interactions. You are handing over control to the Holy Spirit. I bet we would find this practice very powerful. Let's start now. “Holy Spirit, come into all my interactions today. Help me be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. I give you permission to take control.”Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, you are amazing, and we are so grateful for all you do for us. Lord, please help us to be quick to listen and slow to speak and to anger. Help us not to take offense at everything. Help us to see that our loved ones aren't intentionally trying to hurt us. Helps us to hold our tongue when we get angry and not lash out. Help us to invite the Holy Spirit into our interactions before we even open our mouths to say anything. When we do speak out rashly and possibly unkindly, help those we offend to forgive us and to heal from what we said. We love you, Lord, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus' holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus.

Jarek Berga - October 12th 2025 Jesus calls us to cut off what will destroy us and humble ourselves like children. This week, Eric continues our King and His Kingdom series in Matthew 18:1–9, where Jesus confronts our obsession with greatness and status. Using vivid imagery about cutting off limbs and gouging out eyes, Jesus invites us to take sin seriously—not by mutilation, but by transformation. Eric unpacks how the way of the kingdom is not about achieving significance but embracing insignificance, humility, and dependence. Through personal reflection and the story of King Edward VIII, he reminds us that we all have “letters” from Jesus warning us to address what could otherwise destroy us. True greatness comes not from power or perfection, but from learning to be lowly, repentant, and teachable like a child.

You may have heard people say, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." We've probably all witnessed times when this hasn't been the case. If we belong to and have entrusted our lives to Jesus, however, we can know with certainty that He will indeed use our most difficult and painful seasons to deepen our faith and intimacy with Him. In this episode, Jennifer Slattery introduces you to a powerful episode from another Life Audio podcast host, Sarah Young from Jesus Calling and two individuals who endured soul-crushing seasons that could've destroyed their faith. Praise God, by His grace, that's not His story. This episode is for everyone desperately clinging to hope during hardship and all those who love to hear and celebrate life stories that reveal the tender, faithful care and love of Christ. Listen to more of Jesus Calling here and join us next week to hear Carol McCracken's faith-building conversation with Terry Crist author of Now You canStop Running. Make sure to let us know in the review section of your podcast app what you thought of our last two feed drops––would you be open to hearing more the next time Carol and I take a brief break, or would you prefer we still with our regular programming.

In this episode of Men of Influence, host Tim Holloway sits down with Steve McNitt, a seasoned high school teacher, coach, therapist, and leadership consultant with over 30 years as a licensed clinical social worker and 40 years in youth ministry with Young Life. Steve shares his inspiring journey from a Catholic upbringing to a deeply personal faith sparked at age 15, emphasizing God's unwavering faithfulness through life's ups and downs, including church hurt and personal challenges. As a husband of 38 years, father of two, and author of a book on Romans 8, Steve offers practical wisdom on balancing faith, love, and purpose to live a life of influence.Steve explores the importance of growing in both grace and knowledge, drawing from 2 Peter 3:18, and likens spiritual balance to a four-legged chair; physical, emotional, spiritual, and social. He shares actionable habits like daily devotionals, journaling, and reading the Gospels to foster exponential spiritual growth, while stressing the power of awareness and intentional time with God. Steve also discusses his book, which unpacks Romans 8's promises of no condemnation and inseparable love, offering readers tools to reduce anxiety and deepen faith. With heartfelt stories from his work with at-risk youth and personal anecdotes, Steve encourages men to embrace their brokenness, serve with love, and lead by example, inspiring others through authentic influence rather than perfection.Key Takeaways:Balanced Faith: Grow in both grace and knowledge (2 Peter 3:18) to avoid legalism or complacency, ensuring a grounded spiritual life.Daily Habits: Use devotionals like Jesus Calling or My Utmost for His Highest, journal, and read scripture daily to stay connected to God's purpose.Four-Legged Chair: Balance physical, emotional, spiritual, and social aspects of life, prioritizing God's kingdom first (Matthew 6:33).Authentic Influence: Lead through love, compassion, and service, not just knowledge, as people are drawn to genuine care (John Maxwell: “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”).Romans 8 Power: Embrace God's promises of no condemnation and inseparable love to reduce anxiety and live confidently in faith.“God's been faithful the whole time, even when I haven't been. If I'm going to have a relationship with Him, I have to show up.” - Steve McNittLearn more about Tim through the following links:FacebookPodcasting group

Today we're picking up where we left off last week. My guest is Warren Smith. He's the author of The Light That Was Dark: From the New Age to Amazing Grace and Deceived on Purpose. And we had the great opportunity to talk about another of his books titled Another Jesus Calling, which is a very, very important book, and I recommend that you have the opportunity…because of the impact that Jesus Calling by Sarah Young is having on the church. So I encourage you to get a hold of that book.

*This episode mentions violence and may be triggering for some listeners.* This week, we're joined by Demi-Leigh Tebow, a South African native, former Miss Universe, and wife of NFL superstar Tim Tebow. Demi-Leigh is a passionate advocate for individuals with special needs and disabilities. She discusses how her faith helped her overcome personal challenges, including a life-altering carjacking, and how it now fuels her mission to empower women through her Unbreakable Women's Workshop. Later in the episode, we'll hear from Kendall Vanderslice, a baker, writer, and teacher, who takes us on a profound dive into the practice of bread making. Kendall shares how she discovered baking as her calling, explores the rich symbolism of food in scripture, and reveals how the kitchen can become a sacred place for encountering God.

I could choose to question God for the rest of my life, or I could choose to trust Him for the rest of my life. I knew choosing to trust Him also meant making peace with knowing that I was not going to have all of the answers, and that that was going to be okay.” - Demi-Leigh Tebow “I don't like being interrupted. I don't like being taken off the course of my day. I don't like stopping to help somebody else in need. Right? That's uncomfortable. Well, I think that there can be so much blessing in obedience in those moments where we are willing to be interrupted for the sake of somebody else.” - Demi-Leigh Tebow “I had to learn that if I truly wanted to have real confidence in my identity, I had to root my confidence in something other than myself. Something that is fixed. Something that is never changing. Something that is always trustworthy and something that is bigger than myself.” - Demi-Leigh Tebow “My diamond and pearl crown did not last. But do you know what will last? The impact that I get to have with that crown, living out my God-given purpose, maybe using that crown as a vessel.” - Demi-Leigh Tebow “I am thankful for my plans that have been ruined. I am thankful for the wrenches that have been thrown in my plans. Because His plans have been better and bigger and more perfect for me every single time.” - Demi-Leigh Tebow “It is such a joy to get to share what I have learned through the process of baking with others so that they can meet God in the kitchen with dough between their fingers.” - Kendall Vanderslice “The simplicity of baking itself is, I think, a really holy calling.” - Kendall Vanderslice “We have this picture of death and resurrection all woven into the process of baking bread. I think it is no small matter that Jesus then chose bread as the central element of the communion table.” - Kendall Vanderslice “We are invited to rest, not as a reward for what we've gotten done, but as a means of delighting in God's creation and being reminded that we were created to take care of and delight in this delicious and beautiful world.” - Kendall Vanderslice ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!
