370 – Have you ever felt it's too late to do what God wants you to do with your life?...that you missed the opportunity God gave you?Or maybe you never got a clear message from God about what your purpose was. Or maybe you have heard God's voice tell you exactly what to do, but you haven't done it for whatever reason. And now it feels too late to start, to try again, or get back on track. Or you've waited too long to do what God told you years ago.Then this episode is for you. We're going to look at some folks in the Bible who were used by God to accomplish important things when it seemed life has passed them by or they were too advanced in years to have much to offer. Abraham and SarahJosephKing ManassehElizabeth and ZachariasThe servant who received one talent and buried it in the groundWhat was true for them is true for you.God is using you right now, preparing you for something purposeful and increasing the sense of purpose in your life.

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

368 – It's true, nothing can separate you from God's loveHave you ever felt separated from God? Maybe because you did something you know you shouldn't have, or maybe something traumatic happened you had no control over.Or it could just be a feeling you have for whatever reason.When God seems far away, it's hard to know what to do or where to turn for help. In this episode, we're going to dig into the stories of several people in the Bible who found themselves in really tough uncomfortable situations but knew God was with them even in those darkest hours, days, and years. JosephKing DavidJesusPaulAnd I have a confession to make in this episode.No matter what you're going through right now, nothing can separate you from the love of God.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/368.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.

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.

In our series, The Jesus files, we wanted to take 3 podcasts, as we lead up to Easter and dive into some of the more famous arguments against the resurrection story.

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 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.

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.

348 – What defines your spiritual identity?Do you ever struggle to find freedom from guilt over things that happened in the past? You're trying to follow Christ and live your life in obedience to all Jesus says, but sometimes it's hard to let go of the guilt from things you did years ago, or maybe even just yesterday.You know that God has forgiven you, but once in a while, those past sins and mistakes weigh heavy on your heart.Is it possible to find freedom from all that guilt from things you did wrong in the past? 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.

347 – What do you do when no one understands you?Have you ever been with a group of close friends and you share some pretty deep ideas you've been thinking about, but then everyone looks at you like you're crazy. They have no idea what you're talking about. You try to explain, but they're still clueless, their eyes glaze over, and they go back to discussing with great enthusiasm, something that seems trivial and inconsequential.The same thing happens with your family. You share ideas from way down inside of your heart about life or what you think your purpose is and you get those blank stares. Or they say you need to be more practical.It can be really frustrating when it seems like no one understands you. Who do you talk to? What do you do? Is there any way not to feel so lonely? In this episode, you'll learn Why some people will never understand you What needs to happen before you find the folks who will understand youWhat you can do to find the people who will understand and be supportive of you.SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/347Article mentioned: Being Grateful when People Reject Your PurposePrevious episode mentioned: Episode 256: The Biblical Cure for LonelinessText 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.

The author of Hebrews invites us to compare the sacrifices and covenants of the old testament with Jesus. How are they the same, how are they different. Which is better? And why does it matter?

346 – Freedom Friday!Have you ever found it hard to accept God's forgiveness? The mistakes you've made and the sins you've committed just seem too much for God to wink at, much less forgive?When you carry around the guilt, along with the feeling you don't deserve God's love and forgiveness, it can be a terrible burden that keeps you from living the life of joy and freedom God has in store for you.When someone gives you a gift, what do you do? You accept it, open it, and use it, wear it, eat it, or whatever it's designed to do.When God gives the gift of His love, grace, and forgiveness, you can do exactly the same thing: accept it and use it. And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Friday.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.

345 – Is Christian unity possible?Ever been disillusioned by people from different Christian denominations arguing about who is right theologically, and in the process sending everyone who disagrees with them to hell?So many churches today think they are the only true followers of Christ and dogmatically insist you must agree with their theology to be a Christian. This attitude doesn't bring fellow believers together but is incredibly divisive.In this divisive atmosphere among so many churches, is it possible we will ever have unity in the Christian church as a whole?If so, what will it take to have unity in the body of Christ? The good news is, there is something you can do to, starting today, to dissolve the divisiveness among Christians and bring unity.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes–thebiblespeakstoyou.com/345Previous episode mentioned: Episode 224: Why Should I Believe in the Nicene Creed?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.

344 – Freedom FridayWhat's your first thought when you hear the word, repentance? It doesn't always have a positive connotation does it?Can't you just hear an angry preacher shouting from the pulpit that you need to repent of your sins?Sometimes it seems like they are trying to rub your nose in all the sins you've committed and make you feel really bad about yourself.But when Jesus said we need to repent, that's not what he meant at all. True repentance is a actually a wonderful spiritual process that helps you see yourself in a positive, spiritual light.And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Friday.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: for full transcript go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/344Text 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?

339 – Thank You 2025!It's been a great year in many ways, but it had its challenges as well.There have been ups and downs for sure, but from all the people I talk to and interact with online, I feel a gradual and growing momentum in the way people's hearts are reaching out for things of the Spirit. Before we launch out into a new year, it can be really helpful to appreciate all the lessons learned in 2025 and the good received and experienced. In that spirit, that's what this episode is all about.

338 - It's Freedom FridayHow often to you compare yourself with others? How's that workin' for you?One of the things I've really had to work at over the years is not to compare myself with others.When I've seen someone who is more successful, is smarter, stronger, better looking than me, it's easy to feel inferior to them. I've felt guilty I didn't work as hard as they did, or maybe I tried but didn't succeed like they did and it adds to the guilt of feeling I'm not good enough. And sometimes I've compared the mistakes I've made in life and the sins I've committed to what other people have done and it usually paralyzes me from going forward with my life.Comparing yourself to others is rarely a good idea and usually prevents you from making progress in your own life.There's a simple way to stop comparing yourself to others.And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Fridays.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Read the full transcript of this episode at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/338Text 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.

337 – Let the light of Christmas shine brightOne of the major themes at Christmas time is the light of Christ shining into a dark world. In fact the Christmas story has all kinds of light in it. There's the star that appears to the Wisemen from the East. There's the glory of God shining on the shepherds as the angels talk to them. And most important of all is the birth of Jesus, who came as the Light of the world.But Jesus didn't come just for us to be passive recipients of his light. He wanted us to follow his example of bringing light to the darkness of fear, disease, despair, and sin. He even said we are also the light of the world.And that's what this episode is about, being the light and letting your light shine out into the darkness this Christmas, and beyond. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/337Spotify Christmas PlaylistText 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.

336 – What makes you want to obey God?People sometimes ask: "Is there a way to obey God from a place of love instead of from a sense of duty or fear of punishment?" And my answer is always: Absolutely, Yes! It is totally possible to obey God from a place of love instead of duty or fear. God doesn't want you to obey Him because you're afraid of Him. God wants a loving relationship with you. When you realize He always has your best interests at heart, you really do want to obey God, you love to obey God.And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Fridays.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/336Text 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.

I don't have numbers for other countries, but this really opened my eyes to a problem that's a lot bigger than I realized.There's a wide variety of reasons why people are alone at Christmas, and a small percentage of them actually prefer to be by themselves. But the vast majority of these 14 million people would rather be with family or friends, but aren't able to for one reason or another.What are your plans for Christmas?

333 – God still uses ordinary people to accomplish His purposeChristmas is just a few weeks away, and a lot of people I know are busy getting ready for this special time of year when we celebrate Christ's coming. And I don't just mean making all the preparations for holiday meals, gifts, and seasonal activities. A lot of people take very seriously getting ready spiritually to be more receptive to the spirit of Christmas, the appearing of Jesus here on earth and the significance of that event, not just 2,000 years ago, but today as well.Think of all the different sorts of people who will celebrate Christmas and the many different ways they'll go about it. Most of these folks, I would imagine, are just regular, ordinary people, and by ordinary, I do not mean insignificant, making room in their hearts for Christ's coming.And when you think about it, God has always used, “ordinary” people to accomplish His purposes, especially at Christmas. And that's what we're talking about in today's episode.How will God use you to share the spirit of Christmas?SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes for this episode – thebiblespeakstoyou.com/333Text 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.

The Bible makes this clear in the very first chapter of Genesis.But then the Bible tells story after story of how people have sinned and not been true to the way God created them. Someone asked the other day: If I'm really made in the image and likeness of God, why do I keep sinning?That's a pretty deep question and that's what this episode of Freedom Friday is all about.It has a LOT to do with how you see yourself.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/332Text 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.

331 – What gives you a sense of self-worth?Over the years, I've met some people who are very, very wealthy. I've also met people who probably didn't have $20 to their name. And lots of people in between.Some of these very wealthy people, even though they have been incredibly successful in many areas of their life, have a very low sense of self-worth. And a few of the homeless people I've met, who don't have enough money to get a good meal, have a remarkable sense of their own value as a human being. Of course, this isn't always the case, but it's kind of the opposite of what you might expect. So I've been thinking about self-worth:What is self-worth?Where does it comes from? How do you find your own-self-worth?Your self-worth is rooted and grounded in your relationship to God as His image and likeness. You may not always see it, but your self-worth is always here because it's part of your identity as a child of God.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and Bible quotes from this episode thebiblespeakstoyou.com/331Text 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.

329 – Are you grateful when things don't go the way you want them to?A lot of folks I've been talking to lately are facing some pretty serious challenges. And they don't really think they have anything to be grateful for.They're worried about the rising cost of living, if they can pay their bills and put food on the table for their families. They're worried about the rising costs of health care. Some folks have lost their jobs and haven't been able to find work. Other people are feeling a lot of stress in the political arena, the constant barrage of conflicting opinions on social media, and the threat of violence getting out of hand.And then like a ray of light piercing the dark clouds, someone facing these or other challenges will pause and express gratitude for all the blessings they do have.When life gets hard, it's actually an opportunity, it's a call, to embrace the spirit of gratitude. Every day is an opportunity to know and love God more, to love your neighbor and yourself more as children of God, and to be blessing to others.

327 – What are you most hungry and thirsty for?What do you want more than anything else in the world? To be successful, to have a great job and make lots of money, to have a loving family and good friends? Do you want to have a lot of power and influence? Do you want to make a difference in the world and help people who are less fortunate than you?Maybe a better question is: What does God want you to do more than anything else? You may already have an answer for that and be working in that direction. But lots of folks these days are preoccupied with trying to get what they want and do what they want, without really thinking about what God wants them to do with their lives.Then there are those folks who have all the outward signs of success but there's still a hunger for something more meaningful, something more substantial. It's a hunger that can only be satisfied by things of the Spirit.In this episode, we're going to talk about What it means to be hungry for spiritualityHow this kind of hunger can be satisfiedThe blessing that comes as a resultWhat happens when you experience and are filled with the righteousness of God? You can't keep it to yourself. You will be blessed and your light will shine and become a blessing to everyone you come in contact with. ∞∞∞∞∞∞Show notes:  For a full transcript of this episode and all Bible verses mentioned, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/327.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.
