Podcast appearances and mentions of jesus way

We're not sinners because we sin; we sin because we're sinners. In a fallen, sinful world, Jesus is our only hope. Through faith in Him, we gain eternal life, an unbreakable relationship with God. But in the meantime, we still sin, which frustrates our fellowship with God. Today, Ron takes a look at the four stages of temptation, and the four solutions to temptation, as he wraps up his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”  

“And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” That's Matthew six, thirteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. The Christian life is a battle against an unseen enemy. Purveyors of darkness that are not only powerful, but highly organized. Just how formidable are these forces of evil? What are their strengths and limitations? Ron shares a few answers next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” 

What does it look like when Jesus truly changes your life? In Colossians 4, Dr. Caleb Brown looks at the lives of Onesimus and Tychicus—two men whose lives give us a picture of what it means to live the Jesus Way. Onesimus shows us what transformation looks like, while Tychicus shows us what it means to become trustworthy. Following Jesus isn't simply about knowing the right things or agreeing with the right things. It's about becoming the kind of person whose life reflects the way of Jesus—someone who is transformed by Him and faithful with whatever He places in their hands. -------------------------- We are Lifepoint Church located in Louisville, Kentucky.

It's been said that resentment is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die. One of the foundational principles of Christ's teaching is that we are called to forgive others. When we don't, we're only hurting ourselves, and the damage might be far worse than you think. Today, Ron takes us to a familiar parable that reminds us just how seriously God takes forgiveness.  

When you ask God to forgive your debt, you might be asking Him for more than you think. You know, many of us are so used to debt that we almost take it for granted. But when it comes to the debt we owe God, it's a grave situation, because the debt we owe Him is our life, both in this world and the next. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the debt we owe and at God's debt forgiveness plan, as he continues his series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”  

When Jesus taught us to pray “give us this day our daily bread,” He was talking about more than what we have for breakfast! Anytime we pray, including when we say the Lord's Prayer, we're declaring our dependence on God. And this phrase, "give us this day our daily bread," refers not only to the food that feeds the body, but food that nourishes the soul. Ron helps us better understand this truth today, as he moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” 

Every good gift and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. You may already be in the habit of thanking God for your food. But how often do you ask Him to provide it? James one, verse seventeen, reminds us that God is a generous God, and that every good thing we have comes from Him, including our next meal. Stay with us now as Ron continues in his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”  

Being People of the Way of Jesus (Way of Life – Part 1) Andrew Hill by New Community Ringwood

“Nevertheless, not My will but thine be done.” Jesus spoke those words in the Garden of Gethsemane … on the night before He was brutally tortured and crucified. And when He prayed that prayer, He was modeling for us what He taught us to pray in Matthew chapter six. Thy will be done. Today, Ron examines the decreed will of God, and the desired will of God, as he moves forward in his series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”

Jesus saw the people who sat with him on the hillside as “the light of the world.” They were meant to reflect Jesus' light in the world around them. What was true for those who heard Jesus' Sermon on the Mount first is true for those of us who hear it today: Jesus sees us as “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14). In this sermon, we'll look at some of the practical examples Jesus gives. The topics covered first by Jesus include anger, marriage, promises, retaliation, and dealing with enemies. Jesus has clear thoughts and straightforward direction on how to live our lives in a way that reflects his love and light. As we continue in the Sermon on the Mount, we see how Jesus animates righteousness and teaches and encourages us to do the same. As we continue to build good lives on the solid foundation of the person and teachings of Jesus, our look at the second half of Matthew 5 is an important stop! We are given clear, practical guidance on how to live righteous lives like Jesus. We are encouraged to hear the teaching and live out the teachings.

Is worry making you miserable and stealing your peace? Are you carrying concerns about things you can't control -- or problems that haven't even happened yet? This Sunday, we'll discover Jesus' practical and powerful solution for how to stop worrying as The Jesus Way continues.

Do you want to know what your priorities are? Take a good look at your bank statement. Jesus was a man with great power, uncommon passion, and a charismatic presence. But He was also a man of priority. He lived that way, and—in Matthew chapter six—He taught us to pray that way. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” 

If you've been saved by faith in God the Son, then God the Father is also Your Father. Through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, we can boldly approach the throne of God and call Him “Father.” But, as you'll hear today, His name is still hallowed, and we're called to respect and revere Him accordingly. Stay with us now as Ron continues his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”  

One of the most beautiful things about the Lord's Prayer is found in the first two words, "Our Father." Jesus could have said, “My Father.” Instead, He said Our Father, and, in doing so, He invited all mankind to address Almighty God in this way. Today, Ron takes an in-depth look at the first stanza of the Lord's Prayer, with special emphasis on these first two words—what they meant to the original audience, and what they mean for you and me today.  

A passionate and effective prayer life is not built on repetition, but on relationship. There's nothing wrong with having a conversation with God in which you praise Him more than once, or thank Him more than once, or make the same request more than once. But more than anything, prayer is about developing a deep, intimate relationship with the God who already knows your needs. Stay with us today as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.”  

One of the best ways to learn to do something right, is to see what it looks like to do it wrong. In Matthew chapter six, Jesus gave us a template for talking to God, what you and I know as the Lord's Prayer. But before He told us how to pray, He told us how not to pray. Ron takes us to this passage next, as he continues his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” 

Thank you for joining us today as we begin a new sermon series, Embodied, where we will learn how we can grow as disciples of Jesus by the process of reshaping our lives around the way, words and pace of Jesus.  We're glad you're here. ABOUT US | We are cultivating a vibrant community of faith, hope and love that follows Jesus into the world so our neighbors may also experience God's goodness.

Catch the message "Everything You Need: The Jesus Way" by Pastor Scott Jones.Jesus desires to shape not just isolated parts of our lives, but the entire atmosphere of our hearts and homes. Paul calls believers to let the peace of Christ rule, the word of Christ dwell richly, and the name of Christ direct everything they do. Gratitude, worship, and obedience become the natural overflow of a life centered on him. 

In Week 3 of The Jesus Way, Pastor Caleb Brown walks through Colossians 3:15–17 and challenges us to consider who really gets to rule in our lives. Following Jesus isn't simply about changing our behavior—it's about living under a new King. When Jesus is King, His peace rules our hearts, His Word shapes our lives, and His name marks the way we live. The Jesus Way means surrendering the throne we've tried to keep for ourselves and allowing Jesus to have the final say. We are called to be ruled by His peace, shaped by His Word, and marked by His name—so that the invisible reign of Jesus becomes visible through the way we live, love, serve, and represent Him. -------------------------- We are Lifepoint Church located in Louisville, Kentucky.

3 chapters. 111 verses. One radically different way to live! Join us for the kickoff of THE JESUS WAY, as we begin a journey through Jesus' most famous message: the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7).

Message from Durwin Gray on September 13, 2026

“The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” That's James five, sixteen, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. When James talks about fervent prayer, he's encouraging us to pray with unbridled passion. Is that how you pray? If not, what would it take for you to start? Today, Ron offers some biblical insight into the power and necessity of a passionate prayer life, as he continues in his series, “The Jesus Way To Pray.”  

It's true that prayer is our way of communicating with God. But it's so much more than that. Coming your way next, Ron kicks off his teaching series, “The Jesus Way to Pray.” And he begins with a touching story from the world of professional sports, one in which prayer, and the passion behind it, became a major part of the media narrative.  

You can leave the old life behind and still find yourself reaching for old ways of living. Culpeper Campus Pastor Aaron Judkins walks through Colossians 3:10–14 using the picture of the closet, the mirror, and the clothes to show us how Jesus shapes who we are and how we can live the Jesus Way.

Jesus said the world hated Him because He testified that its works were evil. Are Christians still willing to do the same?In this episode, we wrestle with whether the church has become so concerned with being liked that we've lost the boldness to confront the culture around us. Have we confused loving people with needing their approval? Have we become afraid to call something wrong when the culture celebrates it? And have we forgotten that Jesus repeatedly told His followers that faithfully following Him would sometimes produce hatred?The goal isn't to be hated, and boldness is never an excuse to be ugly. But if the Jesus way really is true and good, we have to be willing to proclaim it—even when the world doesn't want to hear it.

Christi Le Fevre in Telluride, CO teaches that godly principles produce great blessings, but they must be learned.

In Week Two of The Jesus Way, Senior Pastor Shawn McGill continues through Colossians 3 and challenges us to consider what it really looks like for Jesus to change the way we live, treat people, and respond to the world around us. As we become more like Jesus, His character should begin to show up in our everyday lives. Pastor Shawn walks through Paul's call to “clothe yourselves” with qualities like mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, and above all, love. The Jesus Way isn't another self-help plan—it's allowing God to renew us from the inside out until the way we live begins to look more and more like Him. -------------------------- We are Lifepoint Church located in Louisville, Kentucky.

ME BY MYSELF!  That's the American way, but is it the JESUS Way?  The truth is you are absolutely NOT self-sufficient and you never were and THAT's OKAY!

Following Jesus means more than believing differently—it means learning to see, think, desire, and live differently. In the first message of The Jesus Way, Pastor Caleb Brown walks through Colossians 3:1–9 and challenges us to consider what happens when we've been given new life in Jesus but continue living according to old patterns. Maybe the problem isn't that our desires are too big, but that we've settled for things too small to satisfy them. What have you settled for because it's familiar? What if there's something better being offered? Sometimes the first step toward transformation is simply getting honest, naming what we've settled for, and surrendering it to Jesus. -------------------------- We are Lifepoint Church located in Louisville, Kentucky.

Over the years, more than one person has described the ministry of Unhurried Living as prophetic. For a long time, I wasn’t quite sure what to do with that assessment. In this episode, I reflect on insights from Eugene Peterson’s The Jesus Way and an observation from recovery historian Ernest Kurtz that helped me see prophetic ministry in a new light. We often remember the dramatic moments of prophets like Elijah, Jeremiah, and John the Baptist. But what if their hidden seasons were just as important as their public ones? What if the margins, rather than the center, are where God does some of his deepest work? Together we’ll explore: Why prophets are often formed in hidden places What life on the margins can teach us about God How solitude helps us resist the assumptions of our culture Why weakness and dependence are central to spiritual formation How an unhurried life can quietly challenge our culture’s definitions of success Whether you’re leading, serving, recovering, or simply seeking a deeper life with God, this reflection offers an invitation to rediscover the living center around which all of life is meant to turn.

Humans have been disrupted by advanced information and media technologies for thousands of years. Each time we have experienced disruption, division, and a fracturing of who we are and how we live in the world. One of the radical shifts of the Jesus Way is to "rehuman" ourselves and "recovenant" our relationships, an application of wisdom that reframes quite literally everything. In this era of advanced information, data, and media technologies, we need this wisdom more than ever. [Testimony by Travis]

Message from Dale Cuckow on August 9, 2026

Life is not always what it seems. What we think is good for us often isn't, and what we think is bad is often good. The same is true in spiritual life. Jesus taught us many counterintuitive principles. This week we'll look at one of his most important counterintuitive principles, as we continue our sermon series on "How to Build Beautiful Relationships the Jesus Way."

As our students returned from conference, Pastor Randy encourages them (and all of us) to continue growing in wisdom, favor and stature under the leadership of Jesus.

When you're in relationship with someone and you feel it's important to say something they don't want to hear, do you say it, or procrastinate, or worse yet, never say it? This week we'll ask, "What would Jesus do?" -- as we continue our sermon series called "Building Beautiful Relationships the Jesus Way." Our focus this week is on our ability to say -- and to hear -- hard things. Jesus has some very important points to teach us about both speaking and hearing the hard things.

Matthew 25:14-30 (1) Incredibly Blessed (2) Incredibly Trusted (3) Incredibly Rewarded

In this episode, Graham Joseph Hill joins me to talk through how every culture tends to read Jesus through their own lens and how we tend to remake Him in our own image. And when we do that, we tend to follow idols rather than Jesus. In his latest book Ten Movements of the Jesus Way, Graham maps ten typical idols and the turn we need to make to follow Jesus instead. Are we following Jesus, or just following our own culture with Jesus attached?Graham Joseph Hill (PhD, Flinders University) is an adjunct research fellow and associate professor in the School of Theology at Charles Sturt University.

Ephesians 2:8-9 Five reasons to joyfully serve: (1) Look Back. (2) Look In. (3) Look Down. (4) Look Around. (5) Look Ahead.

How do we walk through life as Jesus did? Pastor Randy shares 3 keys to do just that. "Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did." - 1 John 2:6

We live our lives laser-focused on our own daily tasks, deadlines, and schedules. But what if our hyper-focus is causing us to miss the very people God has placed directly in front of us? Pulling from the famous "gorilla test" experiment on inattentional blindness, Ryan Kramer challenges us to look closely at Matthew 9 to see how Jesus trained His disciples. Jesus wasn't just performing jaw-dropping miracles, He was actively reshaping how His followers interact with a broken world. This message outlines three vital transformations that must occur in our hearts if we want to truly live the kingdom life. -- Jesus wants to change what we see by pulling us out of our self-consumed routines so that we stop treating the cashiers, neighbors, and strangers in our paths as mere background noise. -- Jesus wants to change what moves us by softening our media-saturated, callous hearts with a deep, Greek-defined compassion that forces us to let other people's pain interrupt our personal plans. -- Jesus wants to change what we live for by realigning our shifting priorities away from selfish preferences and toward pointing broken, shepherdless people to His grace.

Philippians 2:2-8 (1) Jesus prioritised a mindset attitude before ministry v6-8 (2) Jesus emptied himself v7 (3) The ultimate goal is transformation - Romans 12:2, John 13:3-5, Galatians 5:22-23

In her message on Mark 10, Katy explores the discipline of empathetic listening as a profound method for embodying the healing love of Jesus in a divided and isolated world. True listening extends beyond basic conversational skills; it requires paying attention to both spoken words and unspoken emotions, granting dignity to those society often overlooks. This compassionate posture is perfectly modeled by Christ's encounter with the blind beggar Bartimaeus, where He purposefully interrupts His own vital journey, defies the crowd's impatience, and asks a transformative, open-ended question that draws out the man's deepest desires. Emulating this "Jesus Way" means actively cultivating a willingness to be interrupted, slowing down to offer undivided attention, and asking thoughtful questions designed for deep connection rather than simple information gathering. Ultimately, believers are commissioned to serve as a tangible, healing presence in their communities by mirroring this attentive and dignifying love.
