384 – How often do you think of and say Jesus is Lord?One of the hallmarks of the way Christians refer to Jesus is to say Jesus is Lord. Sometimes referring to Jesus as their Lord is an open window on the deep sincerity of their devotion to Jesus and commitment to follow him at all costs.But  all too often, there are times when some Christians refer to Jesus as Lord, almost too casually, sort of like it's just part of his name or title, without the reverence or depth of loyalty and commitment to Jesus that word “Lord” implies.In this week's episode:What does it actually mean when you say Jesus is Lord? What kind of relationship with and commitment to Christ does it imply?What does it require of you? And what does Christ provide you in return?∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/384Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

383 – Do you want to see more healing in your life?If you had lived 2,000 years ago, would you have asked Jesus to heal you?Probably so!

382 – How do you face opposition to your church going forward?When you're involved in church, there's usually a lot of folks interested in helping the church grow. It might be trying to encourage new members to join the church. It might literally be a building project or helping to start or plant a new church. It could be helping the whole membership grow spiritually. The odd thing is that all too often when you and other church members are focused on building, rebuilding, growing spiritually, and expanding the reach of your church, there are others who oppose this progress.Sometimes the opposition comes from outside the church, but there are times the resistance actually comes from inside the church organization itself.In this week's episode, we're going to look at Examples in the Bible where there was resistance to those who were building the church How they overcame it How you can use these same ideas to overcome any resistance and opposition to spiritual progress at your churchJesus's promise about his church that is a game changer Never be afraid of opposition to your church's progress. It's often a sign that you're doing something right, that you're going forward. Trust God to guide you in the process.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes in this episode: thebiblepseakstoyou.com/382Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

381 – Does God still heal today?The Bible is full of people who were healed by God, both in the Old and New Testaments.Many Christian churches today believe in and practice Christian healing in some way.Personally I have seen many healings in my own life and I have friends in many different Christian denominations who have been healed through prayer.But there are some churches who say God is no longer in the healing business, that He does not heal today the way He did in the Bible. They claim those times are over.In this week's episode we're talking about The fact that God does heal today, just as He always hasWhy some Christians have a hard time believing God heals todayHow you can experience more of God's healing presence in your own lifeThe reason you can heal and be healed is because you are a child of God, an heir of God and a co-heir with Christ. Focus on who you are, that your name is written in heaven, and that you have inherited all God's goodness. You are an heir of the kingdom of God.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Previous episode mentioned:Episode 29: Is It Ever God's Will You Are NOT Healed When You Pray? Podcast playlist on healing:Spiritual Healing Today SHOW NOTES:For a full transcript and all Bible quotes go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/381Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

380 – Would you like to sit at the feet of Jesus?Have you ever wondered what it would've been like to hear Jesus teach and preach? To see him heal people? To ask him to heal you? Would you have followed him or opposed him? Would your pride have rebelled at the strong moral demands he made on his followers? Or would you have sat at his feet, humbly listening to everything he had to say? Hopefully the latter. In this week's episode:What it means to sit at the feet of Jesus and learn from him How we can still do this todayThe blessings that come from itThe people in the Bible who sat at Jesus feet and whyThe difference between sitting at and falling down at Jesus's feetSitting at the feet of Jesus today is a metaphor for being in Christ's presence. The more you come into Christ's presence in this way, the more you make yourself available to be instructed, inspired, and healed by Christ.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Previous episode mentioned: Episode 203: What if Jesus Preached at Your Church? SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and the Bible quotes go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/380Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

379 – What does it mean to be a Christian?There's a mistake the Christian church has been making for hundreds of years, 1,700 years to be more accurate, that has radically changed the way Christians identify and represent themselves in the world, as well as among themselves.The sad truth is that most Christians don't realize they're making this mistake or that it has such a long history. In fact, they find comfort in it and think what they're doing is totally appropriate.But this shift in 325 C.E. has often taken the church down a path that has led away from the original Christianity of Jesus and the importance of putting his teachings into practice, and instead made the church more legalistic and dogmatic.In this episode, we're going to look at This mistakeHow it still affects the Christian church todayHow it goes against the original message of Jesus and how he described what it meant to be one of his disciples or followers, or what we call today, a Christian And more importantly, we're going to talk about what you can do to correct this mistake, whether it's you or someone else, your church or someone else's church, making itWhat you believe is important, in fact crucial, but Jesus requires obedience to his teachings in our daily lives if we want to be considered his followers.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Previous episode mentioned: Episode 224: Why Should I Believe in the Nicene Creed? SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript of this episode and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/379Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

You even prayed about it, but the answer still wasn't clear.When you've tried everything, is it okay to ask God for a sign showing you what to do, to point you in the right direction?

377 – Where does your confidence come from?Are you a confident person? Or do you sometimes feel a lack of confidence in yourself that keeps you from accomplishing things or even attempting to do something? Or maybe you're confident about some things and not so confident about others.All too often, we get our confidence or lack of confidence from external factors like...family heritage, education, how much money you have, how you look in the mirror.But true confidence can only come from Godunderstanding your relationship with Godknowing you are a child of Godknowing God loves youThe best way to increase your true confidence is to practice your faith, to follow the teachings of Jesus.When you are conscious of God's will and obey it, you are no longer trusting in your own abilities, your own wisdom, your own will power to get things done. You're listening for God's voice and following His guidance. And this is the basis for true confidence.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/377Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

376 – Is longsuffering good or bad?You're probably familiar with the word longsuffering. It's in the Bible, at least some translations of the Bible, multiple times. Sometimes it's translated as patience.And longsuffering is usually considered a virtue in the Bible. We are supposed to be patient with each other and not over-react when things don't go the way we want.But sometimes in the process of trying to be longsuffering, it's easy to get discouraged because the thing or the person you're trying to be patient with gives no hint of changing or getting better or even being aware of how you're being negatively affected.In this week's episode, we're going to Explore what the Bible says about longsufferingWhen it can be a very positive mindset to haveHow to avoid letting it go too far where you feel you're just putting up with bad behavior and maybe even being taken advantage ofIt's not about suffering a long timeThe core spiritual essence of patience or longsufferingBiblical longsuffering is not putting up with or ignoring inappropriate attitudes or behavior. It's becoming more and more conscious of how God has empowered you to think and act. And most of all, it's seeing and rejoicing that God is actively involved in your life, and see and trusting He is working in the lives of all His children. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/376Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

375 – Do you ever tell God you Love Him?When you're going through a challenge, one of the most comforting things to remember is that God loves you. And it's not just saying the words that help, but actually feeling God's love and care for you in that particular moment.But love is not a one way street. Love comes and goes in both directions in a healthy human relationship, and this is even more true in your relationship with God. Yes, it's important for you to know God loves you. But it's equally important that you love God.All too often, when we have a problem we focus more on the fact God loves us. But what if instead we focused on our love for God the next time a challenge comes up? In this episode, we're going to talk about the importance of telling God you love Himnot just saying the wordsseveral ways to "tell" God you love Himletting your life show your love for GodAnd we'll talk about the blessings that come as a result.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all Bible quotes go to thebiblepseakstoyou.com/375Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

373 – Have you experienced God's redemptive grace in your life?What did that feel like? How did it transform your life?One of the most often quoted verses in the Bible is from Chapter 2 of EphesiansFor it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—(Ephesians 2:8  NIV)But if you talk to enough people, it's pretty obvious there are lots of different definitions or perspectives on what grace is and how it works in our lives.And there are different aspects of grace, just like there are many facets in a diamond.My guest today is Jennifer Sakata, an ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church USA. We're going to talk specifically about God's redemptive grace. This is the grace that redeems us from our mistakes, the sins we've committed, and all the ways we've been hurt over the years. In this episode:God is writing a story in your life and the life of everyoneThe connection  between grace and our relationship to GodWhat is real grace for real life?The one thing you need to acknowledge to be able to receive God's graceHow to create space for grace to show up in your lifeThe difference between “on the ground grace” and grace as a theological conceptThe Psalm you should read if you feel far away from GodWhat happened in her mom's life after praying for her for 40+ yearsWhat does gratitude do that helps  us receive more grace?∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/373Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Send us Fan MailThere's something life-changing about being truly seen—not for who you've been, but for who Jesus is calling you to become. In Luke 5, Jesus walks up to Levi, a tax collector rejected by society, and speaks two simple words: “Follow me.” And in that moment, everything changes.In this message from Hope Church Cleburne, we explore how Jesus calls us out of our old life, into His mission, and through a complete transformation that can't fit inside old ways of thinking. This sermon challenges us to examine what we're still holding onto, who's missing from our table, and whether we've truly surrendered every part of our lives to Christ.Through the powerful truths of Luke 5, we're reminded that:• Jesus calls us to leave behind what's keeping us from fully following Him• Jesus builds tables for the overlooked, broken, and hurting• Jesus came to bring healing, not religion• Following Jesus should produce joy, not just duty• God wants to make us new—not simply improve the life we already plannedThis message is both challenging and hope-filled, reminding us that transformation begins when we respond to the call of Jesus with complete surrender.Support the show

363 – What do you do when all hope is lost?Have you ever been in a situation where the outcome was exactly the opposite of what your hopes and expectations were? Things just went from bad to worse.You poured out your heart to God in prayer, but it didn't really seem to do much good. Everything kept getting worse until it was all over and there wasn't even a glimmer of hope.But then, in the most amazing and unexpected way, things turned around and you found more joy and hope than you could have ever imagined possible?Well, that's what the Easter story is all about. This week: How did the disciples feel watching Jesus on the cross? Why did some get close to the cross and others stay far away?Where would you have been?Why didn't Jesus's disciples hear him when he said he would rise on the 3rd day?What is Christ telling you that you don't hear?When it seems all hope is lost, the resurrection is right around the corner.

Lets talk about it.

357 – How do you explain God's wrath in the Bible?Have you ever read some of those passages in the Old Testament where the text basically says God told the Children of Israel to kill all the inhabitants of Canaan, or other enemies, including the women and children, even babies?But in the New Testament, Jesus brings a very different perspective to dealing with your enemies. Instead of killing them, or praying for God to kill them, Jesus says to love and bless your enemies.What's going on here? How can you reconcile the way God is described in the Old Testament with the way He's described in the New Testament?In this week's episode:The dichotomy between the Old and New Testaments view of GodYour concept of God will affect the way you deal with the idea of God's wrathThe Old Testament condones and encourages killing your enemiesJesus commands us to love our enemies Does God change His ways or did Jesus change the way see God?If you want to be more like Jesus, then you need to look at the Old Testament through the lens of Christ to have a clear idea of who God is and how He destroys evil.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript of this episode and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/357Previous episode mentioned: Episode 197: Quit Looking at God Through a Wall of Glass BricksText me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

It's because your body is telling you need to eat or drink something.

It's Freedom FridayWhat if you could think and pray like Jesus did? What if you could love the way Jesus did? Does that even seem possible? What keeps us from doing that?Sometimes you might think there's no way you could of be like Jesus and that it's not even worth trying. Or maybe you're afraid to love as much as he did. It's just too much to commit to. But Jesus wanted and expected everyone who believed in him to follow his example of living and loving. In fact, Paul repeats this idea in a letter to the church in Corinth, “We have the mind of Christ.” (See I Corinthians 2:16)In this episode of Freedom Friday, we're going to talk about What it means to have the mind of Christ How you can begin to think, pray, and love more like Jesus.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/352Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

350 – Do you know your spiritual identity?It's FREEDOM FRIDAYHow often do you really stop and ponder that you are a child of God? All too often we identify ourselves based on what we have done or not done, the accomplishments or the failures we've had.And it's very easy to fall into identifying yourself with the sins and mistakes you've made over the years. But the way you see yourself, the way you identify yourself, determines to a large degree how you will act and interact with others.God has created you in His image likeness. That is your true spiritual identity.

349 – Are you praying for your government?If you take an unbiased look at the government of countries all over the world, you'll often find some degree of corruption. Sometimes it doesn't run very deep but other times senior leaders and the heads of government themselves are the source of corruption.This has been going on since governments began. Is there a solution? Even when politicians claim they try to get rid of all corruption, it's a difficult thing to accomplish. Many governments don't try at all and are causing the problem.As Christians, what can you and I do about this problem? Should we get involved in politics, public demonstrations, or social activism, letter writing campaigns, calling government officials? What you decide to do is totally up to you, and not every Christian is going to feel compelled to fight corruption these ways. What we all can do is pray. But should we pray for a government when it's corrupt? Does prayer even make a difference with such a huge problem? There are lots of different ways to pray about this. How can we pray more effectively to get rid of corruption in government? Previous episodes mentionedEpisode 240: How Would Jesus Heal Political Division?                                      Episode 190: Quit trying to change something when you pray.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes–thebiblespeakstoyou.com/349Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Of course it is.When you see that those sins and mistakes from your past have never been part of your true spiritual identity, and focus on who you are as a child of God, you'll find freedom from the guilt and step into who God made you to be.And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Friday.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes--thebiblespeakstoyou.com/348Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

343 – Understanding the Lord's PrayerHow often do you say the Lord's Prayer. Now, what I really want to know is how often you pray the Lord's Prayer. They're not always the same thing.Have you ever been at church and it seems like when you get to the Lord's Prayer it's a race to see how fast you can say it? Jesus didn't want us just to repeat words. He wanted this prayer to be a guide to understanding God and our relationship with Him.And that's what we're talking about today, understanding the Lord's Prayer along with a better awareness of the historical, religious, and geographical context of this prayer. My two guests are Brad Gray and Brad Nelson.SHOW NOTES: for a full transcript, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/343https://thelordsprayer.com/https://bringingheavenhere.com/https://walkingthetext.com/Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

342 – Bad motives versus good motivesHave you ever kept making the same mistakes and committing the same sin, even though you've tried to stop? You've tried to do what's right but you keep slipping back into old patterns of thinking and acting.Sometimes, trying to change one behavior by a different behavior doesn't really get at the root of the problem. We need to go a little deeper and deal with the mental and spiritual motives, with our thinking, to consistently do what's right.The world says you don't have what you need and you have break God's commandments to get it. But Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is at hand, where you already have everything you need.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/342Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

341 – What are your hopes for 2026? Who do you want to be?At the beginning of a new year a lot of people set goals and make resolutions of what they want to accomplish or stop doing during the next 12 months. The focus is usually on achievements and results, changing behavior, establishing new habits, things like that.Other people like to pick out a phrase or a word as a theme for the year.But a lot of folks I know have trouble keeping their resolutions and their theme for the year because they're just thinking about getting different results. The real solution to being successful is to focus, not on what you want to do, but on becoming the kind of person you want to be. And that's what we're talking about on today's episode:To do what you want to, you first have to be who you want to beDiscovering who you already are as the image and likeness of GodWhen you know who you are as God's image, you'll do amazing things as the image of God So, how do you see yourself? Let's ask it this way: How would you like to be able to see yourself? Who do you want to be? Or better yet, how does God see you?∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Previous episode mentioned: Episode 297: Always Remember Who You Are SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes--thebiblespeakstoyou.com/341 Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.
