This episode I would have PAID to have in my ears years ago. I was a little confused about some things back then. I had heard that God wanted all people well, but I didn't know how to practically reach out for my healing or how to help others walk in their health.Today we are diving into the Gospels, studying together what Jesus actually said to people to help them get well. You'll hear: 1. Where in the Bible it tells us we have dominion over our bodies and authority to cast out demons and heal diseases and sickness2. How to practically speak to our bodies (and the bodies of others) like Jesus did3. Times I've spoken to my hurt body and even weather, to get it to do what I wanted 4. Why you don't have to be afraid of crossing paths with a demon and what to do5. Why even just the presence of you (with Christ inside) is enough to make darkness flee6. Stories about raising the dead, finding freedom from period pain, deaf ears being opened and MORE!Free PDF mentioned on Believers Authority bookConnect with Nyla:Nyla's IG Nyla's websiteNyla's Christian business podcast On the Job with God

What Jesus Would Do If We Don't Honour Him by Daniel Harlley
Today, Paul M. Neuberger tears down spiritual counterfeits and draws the line in the sand:WWJD? It's not enough. Because everyone's got a “version” of Jesus.Political Jesus. Buddy Jesus. Social Media Jesus.And every time—He conveniently matches our preferences.But Jesus isn't a mascot. He's the Lord. His Word is the final authority.There's a cost for standing here—ridicule, discomfort, tension. But only one question matters:WDSS—What Does Scripture Say?So when your moment of truth comes, will you follow your feelings… or will you plant your flag on the unshakeable Rock?"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” –John 8:32Episode Highlights09:11 - And feelings are terrible foundations because feelings change, but truth never does... The moment you move away from objective truth, something else rushes in to fill the vacuum. Opinions, emotions, preferences, politics, culture, even personal experiences. And suddenly, everybody starts carrying around their own personalized version of Jesus.25:04 - Truth doesn't change because your emotions changed. Gravity doesn't stop working because somebody feels differently about it. Reality doesn't recognize itself or own personal preference. And God's truth doesn't bend because culture demands it.46:22 - The world doesn't have a truth shortage. The world has an authority problem. People are drowning in opinions... But God never called us to create truth. He called us to follow truth.Connect with Paul M. NeubergerWebsite
May 3, 2026 In order to grow as a Christian, we need to feed upon the Word of God. Jesus is pictured as the cornerstone, making his teachings foundational for our life. We must understand the church as the people belonging to God who are called to declare his praises. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:22-2:12
Simon represents the people who doubted that Jesus is the Son of God and the prophet as foretold in the Scriptures. Simon, represents the religious establishment and church leaders of today who would rather be influencers than influence people to find Christ.

In this special bonus episode of Hidden Wisdom, Meghan and McKay Farner share the talks they delivered in sacrament meeting on the greatest commandment: to "love thy neighbor as thyself." Meghan explores the often-overlooked doctrine of self-love through the lens of agape—the unconditional love that God is. She unpacks false beliefs (“unbelief”) that keep us stuck in shame and natural-man identity, reframing repentance as healing rather than punishment. Drawing from Mosiah 3:19, Doctrine & Covenants 93, Moroni 7, and the teachings of President David O. McKay, she invites listeners to see themselves as the “pearl of great price”—already worthy of divine love.McKay then shares a powerful mission story that forever changed his understanding of loving your neighbor. Through personal experience—including stepping away from church activity—he reflects on charity without ulterior motive and what it truly means to love as Christ loves.Together, these talks offer a message of hope, grace, and spiritual maturity:You cannot hate yourself into holiness.You cannot give a gift you have not received.And love is not kindness with a destination attached.00:00 Introduction & purpose of the message00:33 The Great Commandment (Matthew 22)01:19 Agape: the unconditional love God is02:35 False beliefs (“unbelief”) about self-love04:24 Natural man vs. true eternal identity07:23 Repentance as healing, not punishment09:26 Shame, fear, and perfect love10:16 Rest, worthiness, and grace11:50 Meditation as communion with God12:42 The pearl of great price13:52 McKay's mission story begins15:47 What love is not17:13 “Love is not kindness with a destination attached”20:10 Charity defined (Moroni 7)22:27 Princess & sacrificial love23:40 “Greater love hath no man…”24:16 Stepping away from church activity24:48 “It's what Jesus would do.”25:02 Final testimony & invitation Join the Contemplative Prayer + Meditation Q&A with Meghan and Phil McLemore, on February 16th at 7pm MT.

Joe shows how the Finding of Jesus In The Temple prefigures the Resurrection, and what this means for the faithful. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer. Happy New Year. I want to talk about the finding in the template. It’s a strange event in the Bible that many of us just heard about this past Sunday. Specifically, I want to ask, how and why did Joseph and Mary lose Jesus in the temple in the first place? I’ve actually seen people argue that this event proves that Mary must have had other kids. As one Twitter user put it, if Mary only had on...

As a Magnify community, we read "Personal Ministry: Sacred and Precious" by Bonnie D. Parkin, former Relief Society General President. In it she challenges each of us to identify our personal ministry and live each day finding opportunities to care for others as the Savior would. In this conversation, three women at very different stages of life, a widow and empty-nester, a mom of five kids ages 10 and under, and a young single adult, get personal and share what's in their hearts after reading Sister Parkin's address, and what it looks like for them to be on the Lord's divine errands and develop a deeper sense of personal ministry with the Lord. Sister Parkin said, "Most ministering opportunities are spontaneous, not planned in advance." The little things we do to share the light of Christ each day add up to make this world a better place and our daily efforts to care for each other the way Jesus would make a difference.

Today's episode expands on last week’s episode by explaining why I think Jesus might "double down" on his "woe" for today's Christian lawyers. The reason: lawyers are taught not to believe in law and that can hinder others in coming to know Christ. That was true of my experience as lawyer, legislator, and lobbyist. Blackstone, Kuyper, Holmes, and Einstein help prove my thesis.

The post James Talarico vs. The Ten Commandments: Is This Really What Jesus Would Say? appeared first on Straight Truth Podcast.
Texas Representative James Talarico recently claimed on the Joe Rogan podcast that Jesus would oppose displaying the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. In this episode, Dr. Richard Caldwell offers a biblical response, addressing the misuse of Scripture, the true purpose of God's law, and how the moral law points sinners to Christ. The discussion examines Jesus' words in Matthew 22 and 5:17, the Apostle Paul's teaching in Romans 13, and the broader Christian worldview concerning law, morality, and public life. Dr. Caldwell clarifies that God's law is not a burden, but a gracious guide that exposes sin and leads us to the gospel.

Hattie lives with Autism and BPD and has been married to her FP for over 20 years, has several queer children, and is an advocate for always growing, reading, learning, writing, and learning about who you are. She was raised in a strict religious environment that did not encourage her to unlearn the ways that religion could be hurtful instead of helpful. I've really admired her application of religion/spirituality as it pertains to loving all people, which has been frankly a trigger for me as a queer, mentally ill, atheist.

Send me a Text Message!Jesus is truly amazing. Throughout his life, people used that word, AMAZING when talking about Jesus. But it didn't mean, "wow that's interesting, or odd; or even worth a second glance." No the words used about him meant heart-trembling, knee-quaking awe, almost fear-filled amazement, and mind-bending wonder. So in this episode we will take a quick tour through the gospels to answer the question, "What's So Amazing About Jesus?"And we'll close with the challenge to pray every day, "Jesus would you please amaze me?"
Let's let the Word interpret the Word and look into how Jesus actually walked in love instead of our preconceived ideas about it.To watch the video of this message, you can watch us on Victory Channel (Dish 265 or DirecTV 366 or Spectrum cable) and you can always watch our broadcasts on demand on our website or our YouTube Channel!For more information regarding David Weeter Ministries, to send prayer requests, praise reports or to become a Covenant Partner with us to get this uncompromised Word of the Living God out to the world, please visit our website: DavidWeeter.orgSupport the show
Jesus' birthday is in 3 days. Even though it's been some 2,000 years ago, people are pretty jazzed about throwing him a party every year. You've heard that phrase: Jesus is the reason for the season. Well, while that's true, I must say, Jesus would be beyond disappointed with the way his people fell into the trap of something he warned against constantly: worshipping money. Let's recap a few facts. Jesus was born while his parents were sent by the King to be counted for the census. During this long trek on a camel, Mary, just a teenager, would give birth to the son of God and lay him in a manger. Her virgin birth fulfilled thousands of years of Biblical prophecy. While Christians celebrate this moment during Christmas, you have to wonder if they missed the glaring message nestled behind the cute little baby. Jesus was born to poor parents in a barn. His birth was anything but a grand display of wealth or a spectacle that anyone would care to discuss. Jesus was significant, but his life wasn't. If the story of Jesus were to happen today, he'd be born to a trailer park family with a young mother and a working class dad. In fact, when Jesus grew up was a carpenter. Not necessarily dripping in riches or flexing his royal bloodline.***REFERENCES; https://www.missionhills.org/7-things-jesus-said-money/ https://christianpure.com/learn/jesus-manger-meaning/ ***Thanks for listening to Overnight Opinions, a recurring news show on topics the mainstream media isn't telling you.

Not only would Jesus Christ vote, he wouldn't stay home. He would absolutely vote, but he would vote for Donald John Trump. And, we'll talk about the Liz Cheney firing squad hoax that the media continues to peddle. What does God's Word say? Matthew 7:15-20 NIV15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.Episode Links:WATCH: Tucker asked Trump if his faith in God has grown since getting saved by God in Butler, and Trump basically said he may not be the most perfect Christian, but he's tryingLovely Kamala supporter tells me I look like I've been raped and he hopes I get raped and get what's coming to me multiple times.

It's Friday, September 6th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Indonesian pastor dragged out of church, building closed by government On August 18th, 50 officials from Jombang Regency in Indonesia dragged a pastor from his worship site and sealed the shop where his church met, reports Morning Star News. Pastor Herri Soesanto described the government seizure of the two-story shop used by his Good God Church, 50 miles west of Surabaya, as “violent and anarchic.” The pastor said, “I never imagined the violence that government officials made, causing upset among the congregation,” adding that he was threatened with jail. According to Open Doors, Indonesia is the 42nd most dangerous country worldwide to be a Christian. Matthew 5:10 says, “"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven." Chinese spy embedded in New York Governor's office New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul's former deputy chief of staff, Linda Sun, has been arrested on suspicion of being a Chinese spy along with her husband, Chris Hu, reports The Epoch Times. Sun faces charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, visa fraud, and alien smuggling. Hu is also charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering, as well as bank fraud, and misuse of identification. Sun previously worked in the office of former N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, including as his deputy chief diversity officer for two years. She is also alleged to have forged invitation letters from the N.Y. governor's office for Chinese Communist Party officials to illegally come to the U.S. and meet with American government officials. U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Breon Peace said, “The illicit scheme enriched the defendant's family to the tune of millions of dollars.” Governor Hochul expressed her outrage. HOCHUL: “These actions taken by Linda Sun were an absolute betrayal of the trust of two administrations in state government, breaking our ethics rules, and even forging my signature on documents. “But more importantly than that, this is a betrayal of New Yorkers and of the American people. Public service is a calling. It should be revered, highly respected. I am furious. I am outraged by this behavior.” Kamala's VP pick, Tim Walz, subpoenaed over $250M COVID fraud scheme House Republicans are demanding answers from Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, regarding a $250 million COVID-19 fraud scheme, viewed as one of the worst relief scams during the pandemic, reports The Christian Post. GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina issued a subpoena Wednesday to Walz's administration and officials within the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Office of Inspector General. The subpoena concerns an investigation that goes back to 2022 regarding a $250 million fraud scheme by a Minnesota-based nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. The program was intended to help feed hungry children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feeding Our Future reportedly created fake attendance rosters with the names and ages of nonexistent children and falsified invoices to create a facade of providing food to the pretend children. The subpoena cover letter addressed to Tim Walz said, "As the chief executive and the highest ranking official in the state of Minnesota, you are responsible for the Minnesota Department of Education and its administration of Foster Care Navigator Programs. Statements in the press by you, [Governor Walz] and your representatives indicate that you and other executive officers were involved, or had knowledge of … [this] massive fraud." Pastor: Jesus would've blessed mothers who abort for “loving kindness” And finally, Rebecca Todd Peters is a professor, author, and a Presbyterian Church (USA) ‘pastor.' A lover of all things baby-killing, she also serves on the Clergy Advocacy Board of Planned Parenthood. In a July 9, 2023 sermon, she lauded the positives of abortion as she preached to The Community Unitarian Universalist Church of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, reported Protestia.com. As she wore a pink stole, or priestly vestment, emblazoned with the Planned Parenthood logo, Peters lamented that pro-life Christians have gained ground in the culture war in the language around abortion so that even unbelievers view it as a bad thing or “difficult choice.” She cited Psalm 139:13-14 in which David said to God, “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Incredibly, Peters said this. PETERS: “I can certainly appreciate the lyrical beauty of this text, as well as the descriptions in Jeremiah and Job of their certain knowledge that God was with them in the womb. “I, too, feel that I am known by God in these ways. As a woman who has born two children, I can affirm that I felt something sacred happening in my gestating body during those pregnancies. “I can also attest that I felt God's presence with me as I made the decision to end two pregnancies, and I felt no guilt, no shame, no sin.” Shockingly, on a separate occasion, Peters also made this blasphemous claim. PETERS: “If Jesus were here today, He would be an [abortion] clinic escort, distracting women from the hatred of the protesters, or an abortion doula, holding women's hands and offering support and love as they end their pregnancies. “If Jesus were giving His sermon today, He might also have said, ‘Blessed are those who end pregnancies for they will be known for their loving kindness.'” No doubt your heart is as grieved as mine over her evil remarks, spoken from a pulpit no less, as she claims to represent God Himself. Please, pray that Rebecca Todd Peters, this Presbyterian Church USA so-called pastor, would repent of her unbiblical worldview that celebrates the murder of a mother's pre-born baby in her womb.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Double-Sided WisdomDevotional: 3 of 5…because so many people were coming and going that [the apostles] did not even have a chance to eat, [Jesus] said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. (Mark 6:31-32)Job 11:6 says that, “True wisdom has two sides.” Which is why we're exploring five pieces of “double-sided wisdom” in this series—couplets of paradoxical truths that God calls us to hold in tension. Here's today's: Enjoy Self-Care AND Embrace Self-Sacrifice.We see Jesus modeling the first side of this double-sided wisdom throughout the gospels as he “often withdrew to lonely places” for some peace, quiet, and prayer (Luke 5:16). And in today's passage, we see Jesus offering self-care to his followers (see Mark 6:31-32).And yet, the dominant theme of Jesus's life was not self-care but self-sacrifice, the flip side of this double-sided wisdom. For “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” (see Matthew 20:28).So, Jesus made time for self-care and he modeled self-sacrifice. How did he hold these ideas in tension? Matthew 14 offers us a case study to that end.Verses 1–12 records Jesus hearing the news that his beloved cousin John the Baptist had been beheaded. The first half of verse 13 tells us that “when Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately.” Clearly, he longed for self-care for his mind and soul.But the crowds wouldn't let him have it. The second half of verse 13 tells us that “hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.” If there were ever a time when it would have been understandable for Jesus to choose self-care over self-sacrifice, it's right here. But remarkably, Jesus doesn't. Verse 14 says that “when Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.”Many times, self-care and self-sacrifice were not at odds for Jesus. But when they did compete, he always chose self-sacrifice. You and I are called to do the same (see Matthew 20:26-28, Romans 12:1, and Luke 9:23).Practically, this might look like scheduling workouts before work for your own self-care—but being willing to sacrifice that workout when your spouse needs help on a difficult morning with the kids. Or prioritizing your self-care by setting clear boundaries on when you will and will not work—but being willing to sacrifice those boundaries when a hurting co-worker wants to grab a drink after work.Embrace the way of Jesus by making time for self-care today. But ask God to prepare your heart to choose self-sacrifice when necessary for his glory and the good of others!
