Are you ready for the Good News? God's got a great message for you, as we worship Him this Christmas celebration weekend. Pastor Mike Kai transitions us from prophetic times, to concisely detailing the “fullness of time.” Pastor Mike speaks passionately about biblical complexities and walking in darkness. Jesus is the only one who can get you out of your dark place. We can take solace in God's radiant glory and the light who is God. He is the light of the world and there is no darkness within Him. Embrace unwrapping your God-given gift and allow Jesus and the Holy Spirit to have their way with you. Draw closer to God and experience the realization of how much He cares about you, regardless of your past or present circumstances.

This week we launch a new series entitled, “A Prophetic Christmas.” Pastor Mike Kai references how prophesy is foundational to Christmas and how over 300 prophecies on the first coming of Jesus Christ have accurately come true. God orchestrates everything through a biblical forerunner who proclaims the coming of the Messiah. It's another great example of God's intervention in the story of John the Baptist. Pastor Mike uses scripture to reveal five things that provide a clear understanding of his calling.  Today, we live in an age where we need to be the forerunners for God. He has called upon us to bring revival and reformation to a world that needs it. Pastor Mike will show you four ways “How to Be a Forerunner for Others to Find Jesus.” This prophetic Christmas, expect God to give you a word for 2024!

Pastor Mike Kai has a word for everyone when telling an intriguing story from 2 Kings 5 about a powerful, decorated commander in the Aramean army named Naaman, who was afflicted with leprosy. The journey to get healed wasn't easy and was met with tribulation and an inhospitable reception by Elisha. However, because he learned to exhibit humble obedience, he experienced the most miraculous moment in his life and was completely healed. Are you believing an incredible God-led miracle is waiting for you? Pastor DJ provides valuable life lessons on “Clearing the Path to Our Miracle with Humility,” and how to recognize and remove the “Obstacles Holding You Back.” We may not be covered with leprosy, but we do have sin we cannot wash away on our own. Get ready for a transformation from the inside out and don't miss the opportunity to be obedient. It takes commitment and remember faith that doesn't lead to obedience isn't faith at all.

As we continue in the “Old School” series, Pastor Mike Kai ponders if you've ever received a Godly revelation concerning spiritual discernment and authority during your walk with the Lord. Scripture says that a great Aramean army was struck with blindness by the Lord, so they could be deceptively led into Samaria. Once there, the Lord was asked to reopen their eyes so they would realize how they had been entrapped. Pastor Mike uses this story to illustrate our self-reflection on “How Do You Know When You're Living with Eyes Wide Open?” History is replete with misinformation and misdirection. However, one thing stands absolute and that is God's covenant He made with the people of Israel. Mike gives context to the Middle East crisis and how to biblically resolve the conflict that may exist within us.

This week Pastor Mike Kai continues in the “Old School” series emphasizing Elisha and the God-given double portion of blessings on his life. Elisha's authoritative walk is possible because of the enduring generational faithfulness to God. Consider the story of Jericho with its fortified walls, and the specific instructions God commanded of Israel's children. We serve the God who brought down those walls and purified the water within. God is willing and capable of breaking down every wall you have obstructing your personal life. Give Him total access to the sources creating those hurtful areas and allow Him to cleanse your heart and completely heal you. This message will provide you with fail-safe lessons on “How Do We Restore Our Hearts and Lives Back to God.” Make turning to God your first, not your last option. Jesus Christ is the only solution!

While we remain mindful of honoring and respecting ongoing local and worldly events, this week we resume our “Old School” message series with Pastor Mike Kai speaking on the lives of Elijah and Elisha. He details how they embody life lessons on character traits necessary within us during our prophetic journey with the Lord -- loyalty, longevity, and faithfulness. One thing every Christian, in every church, should desire is the double portion blessing of God in our lives and there's only one way to get it. You need to follow Jesus all the way. Pastor Mike takes us on an adventure on how we need to properly position ourselves by metaphorically visiting the three places like Elijah. Make the decision to trust God and begin to realize your full potential. Remember that delayed obedience is not obedience at all.   If you made a decision to follow Jesus, we'd love to take the journey with you!

1- Old School leadership thinking claims that work is work and personal is personal and never the two shall meet. However, how many of your friends resulted from work relationships? How much more joyful is the work when you know friends have your back? How much more engaged are you? After all, you often see coworkers more often in a given week than your partner or children!My guest today is author and keynote speaker Shasta Nelson. We discuss the myths around work friendships, and how encouraging friendships at work and making intentional connections leads to not only higher performance, engagement, retention, and loyalty - but less absenteeism and better health for you and your employees. We discuss the epidemic of loneliness, how to balance personal relationships with tough business situations, and why it's in an organization's best interest to foster work friendships. Shasta shares what we learn as school age kids and how it applies to work and what healthy friendships at work look like.

There should be enough safety that everyone is, at minimum, friendly with each other.Proactively have conversations with your friends at work about challenges that may come up, whether because of conflict, discipline, or something else. It will strengthen your relationship as you open with one another. Consistency, positivity, and vulnerability are important for any healthy relationship.

Again, we have made a rather strange discovery, that the mind refuses to know anything except what reaches it in more or less literary form.  Persons can ‘get up' the driest of pulverised text-books and enough mathematics for some public examination; but these attainments do not appear to touch the region of mind. Of Natural Science, too, we have to learn that the way into the secrets of nature is not through the barbed wire entanglements of science as she is taught but through field work or other immediate channel, illustrated and illuminated by books of literary value. Charlotte Mason, Philosophy of Education Show Summary: Today's guest on The New Mason Jar is Jeanne Webb, veteran homeschool of one daughter and former member of the AmblesideOnline Auxilliary, and her whole family are involved in the sciences How Jeanne first heard about the Charlotte Mason philosophy What make Charlotte Mason's approach to science different from that of typical American science education? What is the relationship of nature study to other areas of scientific study? How do nature study and nature lore prepare children for the more formal study of science? What Jeanne and her family did for nature study Does a Charlotte Mason approach to science do enough to prepare students for higher education?   Books and Links Mentioned: The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens The Burgess Bird Book by Thornton W.

Our chief wish is that the pupils of the School should find knowledge delightful in itself and for its own sake, without thought of marks, place, prize or other reward; that they should develop an intelligent curiosity about whatever is on the earth or in the heavens, about the past and the present. The children respond and take to their lessons with keen pleasure, if they get even tolerably good teaching, and the want of marks, companionship, or other stimulus is not felt in those home schoolrooms where the interest of knowledge is allowed free play. attributed to Charlotte Mason, from “Parents' Review School”, The Parents' Review, Vol. 12, No. 9 (1901)   Find Cindy: Morning Time for Moms Cindy's Patreon Discipleship Group Mere Motherhood Facebook Group The Literary Life Podcast Cindy's Facebook Cindy's Instagram

Do you remember middle school and how painful it was with friendships? Ugh, I shudder at the thought. I will admit I wasn't a popular kid in middle school or even high school. I always found friendships difficult to navigate. I would attach myself to one or two girls and then be devastated if the friendship didn't work out. I didn't feel like I was on solid footing with friendships until college. I would like to thank my longtime friends like Pam and Emily and others for sticking with me. I love you!In speaking with my guest today, Shasta Nelson, I learned once again how important friendships are. Both women and men alike need friendships. These connections are crucial for our physical, mental, and emotional health. It was a privilege to have Shasta on the show!During our conversation, Shasta and I also chatted about:How her work as a pastor was a natural start to her current work with friendship.We did a brief tour of her books, including Friendships Don't Just Happen, Frientimacy, and The Business of Friendship.We talked about the friendship triangle, which was so important that I shared it with my daughter, Charlotte, and will share it with my little one, Olivia, when she gets older.Why we need friendships at work, even when we are managers or in other leadership positions.The impact that friendships or a lack thereof has on our health.And how we can foster friendships in remote or hybrid work environments.And moreWe packed a lot of juiciness into our conversation and covered a lot of ground!

Last weekend I met up with four of my closest girlfriends. We do this every year. We try very hard to hang out in a house where we don't have to leave, where we can wear sweatpants and eat as much food as humanly possible. I hope that this episode really inspires you to go out there and find your people. I want to share three things I observed with these women over this weekend. It was a place where we could address what we need as humans, what we need as friends, and what we need as moms. Only two of out of the five have had children, and it was so interesting to see sort of what dominated the conversation and what didn't. The friendship we share was forged during a challenging time for all of us. (For me, I had just called off an engagement.) What we bring to each other is that we talk about our addictions, we talk about what we're struggling with, we talk about our current relationships, what's great, what's not working, and we talk about what we really love. We talk about what really matters with 100% acceptance. The first thing that I learned over this weekend is that rest is not a luxury. Rest is a necessity. Every single one of us talked about how amazing it was to be able to turn off work, to be able to leave our families. We love them, but we needed to not do all the invisible work. If you have been feeling tired, I want you to schedule rest into your calendar right now intentionally. I think that is critical. This is not nice to have, especially not now. I think, coming out of the pandemic and coming out of the restructuring we've all done, we need to make sure we're resting because rest looks different now, doesn't it? So many people are working from home. I rarely leave my house. I work. I take care of the kids. I clean the house. Then I plan for work the next day, and I work in the house and then I walk the dog. I know I'm not special. Most of us have a schedule that's very similar now, even people who work for corporations, so I think it's critical that you understand when you need rest and how to get it. The second thing I learned is how important it is to have playmates in our sandbox. I talk about this a lot to my own coach. What's cool about my group of friends and where I do think we're very lucky is that two of us are entrepreneurs. One of us is a stay-at-home mother, and two work for corporations now. That combo is really great because we get to share different aspects and perspectives on life. But each of us has someone to turn to when we need a deeper conversation. There's a really great book by Shasta Nelson called Friendships Don't Just Happen!: The Guide to Creating a Meaningful Circle of GirlFriends I recommend. She breaks down that each of us can have different groups of friends, and that's totally appropriate. You might have your work friends, your dance mom friends, and old friends from, you know, childhood or your early twenties.  Each one of those groups is going to serve a different purpose and that's OK. I think it's really important that we understand that you never want to make yourself feel wrong for who you're hanging out with. Chances are you need something from them. If you no longer do or feel like you're constantly giving and not getting back, it's probably time to release those friendships. And the third thing I learned was the importance of sharing. I know that sounds funny. I had so much fun talking about different books. One of us has just totally dived headfirst into serious meditation, and she was sharing that with us, and we are talking about moving. We were talking about children. We were talking about how hard it is for parents, and as much as we love our children, why didn't anybody tell us it was going to be this hard? How much of a role is the internet playing in that? We talked about our health rights, were, as we're all getting older. Our health needs are changing. Who's going for a walk right now? Who's going to take a break right now? Those sorts of conversations were happening, and I think we loved sharing with each other what works. Each one of us had a turn to say: you know, it's really hard for me right now, and we got to talk about that, and I really want to encourage you not only to put rest in your calendar after you listen to this episode. I want you to start fighting for friendships. The only reason that this friendship between the five of us has lasted as long as it has is that we love each other. And every single year -- except during the pandemic -- we have fought to be in the same room for one weekend. We have fought to be together, to be with each other, to remind each other of what matters, to work through issues that you can't talk about with everybody, and to tell the truth about where life is standing. Also, to inspire each other. I think every single one of us left this weekend with new goals, new ideas, and inspired actions, we could take. I want to encourage you to fight for your people. Go find the people in your sandbox, schedule your rest, do it with someone you love, and then make sure you're sharing from your heart. Let's get to it!

Sometimes as we see news, social media, shoot, just life being life -- joy feels impossible, at best, and maybe even inconsiderate, at worst. How can I continue on hoping and happy when so much evil and loss and heartbreak is happening around me or to me? Scott Sauls, senior pastor of my church here in Nashville, has faced his share of personal hurts and regrets (the opening words to his latest book are him saying, “You suck,” to himself). He's walked through his own suffering with anxiety and depression as well as pastored his congregation, family, and friends for nearly 3 decades.The good news Scott has to offer? Beautiful People Don't Just Happen – the title of his latest book. His whole message to readers and listeners is, as its subtitle reads, how God redeems regret, hurt, and fear in the making of better humans. The bad stuff that happens is always raw material for God to bring forth the best stuff in us, if we let him.Some key points from Scott: Why gentleness in conflict speaks pretty loudly these days. How shame and regret can bring us into richer relationship with God. The power of beholding and abiding. How to live fully in a tragic place. Part of why I love Scott is he's not afraid to tell the truth about all that sucks in this life. But that honest lament is always followed by joyful defiance, inexhaustible hope, and the reminder that our best days are never behind us; they're always ahead of us.

Reactions to last week's show were strong. The Holy Post crew responds to listener feedback about LGBTQ representation in movies and Al Mohler's defense of conservatism. Former SBC president, Johnny Hunt, was removed from ministry for sexual assault, but last week four ministry colleagues decided it was time to “restore” him. When should disgraced pastors return to ministry, and have congregational and non-denominational churches proven to be incapable of holding toxic leaders accountable? A new Twitter scandal offers more evidence that Christian Nationalism is a mask for racism and misogyny. Then, friend of the podcast Drew Dyck is back to recommend four books covering topics like the formative power of suffering, new medical research about addiction, the best way to read through the Bible, and a novel about Ireland in the 1980s. Plus, Drew's war against fake Christmas trees.

It takes a lot of courage to love God with all that we have. How can we truly love Him with ALL of our heart, when our heart is occupied with so many other things that we love? Today, we are kicking off the first episode of our new five-part Summer series “Love The Lord”. This series is inspired by the passage in Luke 10:27, and we got some super fun shirts to go with it too. You are going to love them!In this episode, we are bringing back one of our favorites, Scott Sauls. He is the Senior Pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, and a dear friend of my husband and I. We talk about what it looks like to love God with all our heart in the highs and lows of life, through our emotions, and the example that the Apostle Paul sets for finding joy through disappointment. Scott's new book “Beautiful People Don't Just Happen” comes out on June 14th, so make sure to check it out and pre-order your copy.Connect with JamieFacebook //  Instagram // YouTubeGET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE
