Podcasts about keeping god

How do you plan a whole homeschool year without letting the plan crowd out the reason you started? In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Delise Germond sits down with Kelli Wilt to talk about preparing for the new homeschool year while keeping God at the center — the mindset shifts, routines, and practical organization tips that make the difference before the first day of school ever arrives. Whether you're heading into your very first Foundations year or you're a veteran mom sending a student into the Challenge program, this conversation is full of ideas you can put to work this summer. You don't have to have the perfect plan. Start by lifting your eyes off the checklist and back to your child, remembering the real aim of the year: to know God and make Him known. This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by: Classical Conversations Plus Online Learning Seminars OLS provides a unique opportunity for adult learners to engage with rich, meaningful content through 4- to 6-week online seminars rooted in classical, Christian education.

As a Christian, you are called to faithfully preserve and promote what God has entrusted to you until Christ returns.

https://youtu.be/9w7_-eYOtk4 https://www.uncommen.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/July-11th.mp3 Stop the Roommate Trap There is a silent but devastating epidemic quietly dismantling Christian marriages, and it has absolutely nothing to do with money, in-laws, or a lack of romance. The crisis is happening inside living rooms that look completely normal from the outside — dinner on the table, kids buckled into car seats, church on Sunday. Far too many husbands are physically present but relationally absent, coasting through decades of marriage on autopilot instead of actively leading through it. We hear the same exhausted admission from men all over the country: “We're fine. We just feel like roommates.” They are sharing a mortgage, a bed, and a last name — but not a mission. The modern church has done men a disservice by treating marriage like a single event instead of a decades-long assignment. Understanding the biblical seasons of marriage requires abandoning the fantasy that the honeymoon feeling is supposed to be permanent, or that hitting a hard season means you married the wrong person. For generations, we have mistakenly assumed that a good marriage was simply the absence of conflict. While avoiding conflict is comfortable, it is only the baseline — it is the starting line, not the finish line. To fully grasp the biblical seasons of marriage, we must aggressively look past the highlight reel of anniversary photos and peer directly into the mundane, unglamorous middle where the real biblical seasons of marriage are actually won or lost. Escaping the Roommate Season Trap This brings us to a harsh but necessary truth about the biblical seasons of marriage: the roommate season in marriage is not a life sentence, but it is also not something you can out-wait. It rarely announces itself with a fight or a crisis. It creeps in through a thousand small abdications — the conversation you didn't start, the vacation you booked separately in your head, the hobby that quietly became your actual marriage. One day you look up and realize you have been co-existing instead of covenanting. The roommate season in marriage thrives on silence. You eat at the same table. You sleep in the same bed. But you have stopped actually knowing each other, and worse, you have stopped trying to. This is not a season that fixes itself with time; it is a season that only ends when one of you refuses to stay comfortable inside it. Men fall into the roommate season in marriage because withdrawal feels safer than vulnerability. It is easier to disappear into work, a garage project, or a fantasy football league than it is to sit across from your wife and admit you feel disconnected. But disappearing is not neutral — it is abandonment in slow motion. If you recognize this biblical season of marriage in your own home right now, the exit is not a grand gesture. It is a single honest conversation, repeated weekly, until distance turns back into intimacy. Comfortable is not the same as covenant. Choose the harder thing. The Biblical Seasons of Marriage: Honeymoon Versus Harvest When we carefully examine the biblical seasons of marriage, we find a pattern the culture never talks about: the honeymoon season is not the reward — it is the seed. The intense, effortless affection of year one is not proof that you found “the one.” It is proof that you have not yet been tested. The honeymoon season is designed to fade, not because love fails, but because a different, sturdier kind of love is meant to take its place. The harvest season — the one most couples never reach because they quit somewhere in the middle — looks completely different. It is quieter. It is less photogenic. It is a husband who knows exactly which sentence will calm his wife down without being told, and a wife who can read her husband's exhaustion before he says a word. Couples married thirty, forty, fifty years past their harvest season describe something the newly married cannot yet understand: a love that has survived enough seasons to stop being fragile. You cannot skip from honeymoon to harvest. There is no shortcut through the seven-year itch, the identity-shifting arrival of kids, or the disorienting quiet of an empty nest. Every biblical season of marriage between the wedding day and the golden anniversary is doing necessary work on you, whether you cooperate with it or not. The biblical seasons of marriage are sequential for a reason — you do not get to skip the ones that feel unglamorous. Presence in the Mundane: The Middle Biblical Seasons of Marriage But the biblical seasons of marriage do not stop at the wedding photos or the anniversary dinners. The middle seasons — the kid years, the career-building years, the years when your calendar is a battlefield of school pickups and quarterly deadlines — are where most marriages are quietly won or lost. This is discipleship in the mundane. Nobody throws a party for the husband who chose to help with bath time instead of catching up on email, but that is exactly the terrain where a marriage is either strengthened or slowly hollowed out. This is also the season the enemy loves best, because it does not look like a crisis. Nobody is having an affair. Nobody is filing paperwork. You are simply two exhausted people, passing like ships, coordinating logistics instead of pursuing each other. The check-engine light comes on quietly — a short temper, a delayed response to a text, a shrinking number of real conversations that are not about the kids' schedule. Ecclesiastes 3:1 states plainly: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” That includes marriage. The verse is not a resignation to drift — it is a command to actively engage whichever of the biblical seasons of marriage you are actually in, instead of mourning the one that already passed or waiting for one that has not arrived. Whatever middle season you are in right now, God has not left the building. He is asking you to stop sleepwalking through it. The Vulnerability Trap: Leading by Example Another critical, often overlooked component of the biblical seasons of marriage is what happens inside a man during the hard ones. We as men are taught early that vulnerability is weakness, and we carry that lie directly into our marriages. We are supposed to be the rock, the steady one, the impenetrable foundation — so we quietly close ourselves off the moment things get difficult, and we call it strength. This is a catastrophic failure disguised as leadership. A husband who refuses to say “I'm struggling” is not protecting his wife; he is isolating her. Silence does not communicate strength to a wife who is fighting for connection — it communicates absence. And the longer a man stays silent inside a hard season, the longer that season lasts, because nothing changes when nobody names the problem out loud. The opposite of shame is vulnerability, and that principle applies doubly inside marriage. If your definition of leadership never includes the words “I was wrong” or “I don't know what to do,” you are not leading — you are performing. The husbands who navigate the hardest biblical seasons of marriage well are not the ones who never struggle. They are the ones who refuse to struggle in silence, and they understand that every biblical season of marriage rewards honesty over performance. The Power of Godly Marriage Mentors One of the most consistently overlooked tools for surviving the biblical seasons of marriage is godly marriage mentors — a couple ahead of you who has already walked through the season currently wrecking your peace. There is enormous relief in hearing someone who has been married for thirty or fifty years say, “We went through that too, and here is what got us out the other side.” Godly marriage mentors turn an insurmountable-feeling mountain into a mountain that has already been climbed by someone else. Godly marriage mentors also give you permission to be honest. Some conversations are genuinely easier to have with a mentor couple than with your own spouse, especially when both of you are struggling through the same season simultaneously. A wise mentor can say, “This is normal, it will not last forever, and here is what we did,” in a way that instantly reduces the shame and isolation of the moment. If you do not currently have godly marriage mentors, that is your next move — not someday, but this month. Find a couple ten, twenty, or fifty years ahead of you and ask them directly how they survived the biblical season of marriage you are currently white-knuckling through. Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.” Marriages are meant to be sharpened the same way — in community, not isolation. Keeping God at the Center Through the Biblical Seasons of Marriage Ultimately, none of the biblical seasons of marriage can be survived long-term through willpower alone. Couples who keep God at the center of their marriage are not couples who avoid hard seasons — they still face health crises, job losses, and seasons of real distance. But they face those seasons locked arm-in-arm instead of drifting into parallel lives. When both spouses are actively moving toward Christ, they are, by simple geometry, moving closer to each other at the same time. Research from the Barna Group has repeatedly found that couples who prioritize shared spiritual practices report meaningfully higher levels of marital satisfaction and resilience than couples who do not. That is not a coincidence. A shared pursuit of God gives a couple something to move toward together, even during the biblical seasons of marriage when they feel like they have nothing in common with each other. Marriage studies done together — not counseling you attend only when things are falling apart, but ongoing, intentional study as a couple — consistently produce the most honest conversations a marriage will ever have

I sat down with my daughter-in-law Alley for one of the most requested conversations on the Brave Co podcast: how to actually date well. We dig into why so few people were ever taught how to date, what it really means to be ready for a relationship, and why "dating yourself" first changes everything about how you show up for someone else.From there, Alley and I walk through defining the relationship instead of letting it drift "organically," why trust in marriage actually starts on your very first date, and how leading with intentionality removes so much of the anxiety that ruins modern dating. Then we get into the intimacy ladder, fourteen questions I've used to figure out whether someone is safe, fun, aligned in values, and ready to build a real future, including how to handle a partner's past, how to fight fair, and how to keep God (not each other) as your source of security.If you're dating, thinking about dating, or just want to understand why your relationship feels stuck at a certain level, this episode gives you a real framework instead of guesswork.

Today's Promise: 1 Kings 8:56 Have you ever looked back over your life and realized that God was faithful even when you couldn't see what He was doing? In today's episode, we explore a powerful promise from 1 Kings 8:56, where King Solomon declares, "Not one word has failed of all His good promise." Those words still ring true today.   As we reflect on God's work in our own lives, we discover that He has been guiding, protecting, and providing all along. There may have been seasons of uncertainty, disappointment, or waiting, but God has never abandoned His Word. Every promise He makes is trustworthy because He is the promise-keeping God.   Join me as we remember His faithfulness, strengthen our confidence for the days ahead, and learn how reviewing God's past provision can build greater faith for today's challenges. The God who has been faithful before will be faithful again. Not one of His promises has ever failed, and neither will the promises He has made to you.

"Where is Thy faithfulness?" Something so grim had occurred in Israel that the Psalmist was led to question God's faithfulness to His covenant with the king. In fact, the Psalmist states in no uncertain terms that God is responsible for the demise of both king and country. Questioning God's faithfulness is not something the believer wants to readily admit, but most of us have experienced the feeling of abandonment and isolation when everything seems to go wrong.

Psalm 89 begins by praising the faithfulness of our God, and one of the great promises of His faithfulness is that David's line would be established through all generations. In fact, God goes so far as to say that He has made a covenant with His chosen one, and a covenant cannot be broken by a covenant-keeping God.

There are very few people who love the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. But all too often we fall in love with the creation and forget the love of the Creator. The creation, while it is amazing, is only possible because God loved us enough to provide it for us.   On today's program, we will hear from a pastor who, with his wife, is raising 6 kids and takes them to the outdoors as often as possible. The life of a pastor is often run at a fast pace and time off is at a premium.  The distractions of caring for many people is not only time consuming but also energy and soul draining. It takes a special pastor to draw lines that protect not only his own wellbeing but also the wellbeing of his wife and kids.

This morning we embark on our study verse by verse through the Old Testament book of Ezra. Following the 70 year Babylonian exile, God stirs the heart of Cyrus, king of Persia, to bring a remnant of His people back to Judah in order to rebuild the temple of the Lord. God demonstrates his faithfulness, both to His Word and to His people, as He keeps His promises. Scripture text for today is Ezra 1:1-2:70.

The Kingdom Has Come Upon Us 14 Now he was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon came out, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowds were amazed. 15 But some of them said, "He drives out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons." 16 And others, as a test, were demanding of him a sign from heaven. 17 Knowing their thoughts, he told them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is headed for destruction, and a house divided against itself falls. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? For this reason they will be your judges. 20 If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his estate, his possessions are secure. 22 But when one stronger than he attacks and overpowers him, he takes from him all his weapons he trusted in, and divides up his plunder. 23 Anyone who is not with me is against me, and anyone who does not gather with me scatters. 24 "When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it roams through waterless places looking for rest, and not finding rest, it then says, 'I'll go back to my house that I came from.' 25 Returning, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that person's last condition is worse than the first." 27 As he was saying these things, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the one who nursed you!" 28 He said, "Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it."Luke 11:14-28 [CSB] Whatever argument you hear...whatever logic is, was and will be applied...whatever other explanation is given... For all THIS--for what we are and what we do in this place...as well as everything else that makes up the church militant on earth... a place like this… right smack in the presence of the all and every nay-sayer, detractor, unbeliever, and out-right dangerous enemy... We say to them, and to our wavering and weak faith... 20But if it is by the finger of God that [Jesus] cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. But what really has been brought about? What happened to the universe a little over 2,000 years ago? What has been given to it...to us...placed here...put into our lives...? You see, it is either true or it is not. As St. Paul says, if this is not all true, then we are to be pitied above everyone else. And I mean ALL TRUE. As it holds together. It fits and works only one way. If it is by Grace through faith, then it is not of works...not of our doing...not a choice...not because we are this or that...or good...or able... Else, we are still in the place everyone else is...in the same lost condition...DEAD IN OUR SINS says St. Paul...because we have… …and always will fail. If you cannot trust the Creation accounts. If there is doubt whether Jesus was born of a virgin... If we question the miracles that He did… Or if He was really dead… and then rose on the third day... If Jesus was only a man and not God… Then nothing else is True...and we should just give up now ...walk away... go home... eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die and... So, all of it MUST...BE...TRUE! HAS to be...for any part of it to be true. Well… because then nothing is really done, or left undone...or really matters in the end... NO…NOT AT ALL...NOT ONE BIT. So, all those people who ignore a part of Scripture...say its is merely a cultural thing and God does not mean it to apply to us... …or worse! …and say that NO PART is the WORD of God... Should just toss out the whole Bible then... as it will and cannot do anyone any good… No… not unless all of it is God's Word. Jesus' point about the devil applies to God's own kingdom. If it is divided...if it is not whole and consistent...if He says one thing at one time and something else entirely...or the opposite… at another... It all falls apart… and there is no sure place for faith to stand on...no foundation to build a life or church upon...and then… … there is not much  hope...if anything...if anything is left... And it is even weaker… than if we went with trying to work hard...trying to be good enough... As everyone agrees that God wants us to be moral and to help our neighbors... Well...at least we thought so...at least people used to think that way...and told everyone that people ought to be decent... But whatever the current cultural moral climate... that a few move...even a little...move in that direction... try to be decent and good for a change… And when it looks like it... (that there is a nice corner of sunshine) it ends up being just surface stuff for the most part...that never lasts too long ... 20But if it is by the finger of God... If Holy Baptism does save... If Holy Absolution does declare… THERE AND THEN… that our sins are forgiven...and it is so because of those Words proclaimed… RIGHT there and then… to us and for us... If the Words of Scripture from Law...kills...and the Words of Scripture from the Gospel produces faith for eternal life... If these Words of God preached to you here and now...bring you to salvation... If the Words of the Liturgy, taken from Scripture...if the Hymns sung containing the Law and the Gospel... If the Body and Blood of Jesus, with the bread and wine, DO forgive sins, bring and strengthen faith... ...then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Did God really say? Yes… YES! He said all that! … and it is ALL TRUE! And it must ALL BE BELIEVED to be of value. Because that is how the Kingdom of God has come upon you...and me....and on into the world after Jesus rose from the dead. He is the Word made flesh… and He then...after rising to fill the universe in that flesh and blood body...sends it into the Church, to be read and heard...to be put into Water, bread and Wine... So that it continues to keep coming upon us... That is why Jesus told that woman...the one paying Him that supposedly wonderful compliment--to Him and His mother Mary... 27As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” Jesus says...wait...no Lady, not really...because really the truth is:  “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Because even the other Mary could not hold onto Jesus after He rose from the grave. Remember that? In John 20:17, Jesus tells her she cannot... Or rather it would not do her any good that way... Better to hold onto Him in Word and Sacrament--after He ascended...because He will send the comforter...the Holy Spirit to bring Him.. Jesus to her...and to us... As there is where He comes to us...all the time...comes upon us...goes to the very core of us...and remains... And this through the Inspired Word of God...heard and believed...and kept, as His mother did... Remember? She stored up all those things said about Jesus in her heart. Keeping God's Word is less about doing works, than believing it with the faith provided in its hearing. No, rather keeping His Word is hearing and then taking it to heart, believing it. That is what turns into action. This is done over our entire lives. Read. Hear. Believe. Think about. Meditate upon it...working it about...working through... And believing...and repeating this again...then confessing it as true...to and with those around you... Then this is what causes us to act upon it...in the way God prescribes. We must become Biblically minded...heart filled with His Word people...believing what He says...before we can apply it and ever do it. And this is the finger of God in each of our lives. This is how the devil is thrown out… and this is how... the kingdom of God has come upon you. It has, this very day! Amen.

The Blood of Christ and the Courtroom of Heaven – Part 2 | KIB 521 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Episode 521, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake continue their powerful teaching on the courtroom of heaven and the legal authority of the Blood of Jesus.

From the divine council in Psalm 82, to the accusations of Satan in Job, to the final judgments described in Revelation, Scripture presents a coherent picture of covenant law operating in God's heavenly court. In this episode, Dr. Lake explains how Satan functions as the accuser, how repentance removes legal ground from the enemy, and why the blood of Jesus speaks legally in the courtroom of heaven. This discussion also addresses: The role of covenant law in spiritual warfare How repentance shuts down Satan's accusations Why the blood of Jesus is the believer's legal defense The danger of disconnecting the Church from the Old Testament How obedience to God's commandments maintains covenant alignment Why spiritual maturity is essential in the last days Understanding these principles is vital for the remnant as we approach the prophetic events of the end times.

The many reasons to keep covenant with God

03/08/2026 - Pastor IJ Kim Mark 9:2-8 2 And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one[a] on earth could bleach them. 4 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi,[b] it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. 7 And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son;[c] listen to him.” 8 And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

Proverbs 19:16–18 highlights the life-preserving power of obedience, the danger of careless living, and the responsibility of loving correction. Keeping God's commandment guards the soul, while disregard for His ways leads toward death. Loving discipline—especially in the formative years—is presented as an act of hope, not cruelty, aimed at shaping character before it is too late. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine how obedience sustains life, why accountability matters, and how righteous discipline serves God's redemptive purpose rather than human anger.

What if the issue isn't that God lacks power—but that we've kept Him at a distance? In this sermon, we explore a life-shaping truth: God is leverage. While many believers affirm Scripture, respect it, and defend it, too often God's Word remains distant from daily life. When that happens, we end up carrying burdens—fear, anxiety, regret, shame, and sin—that we were never meant to carry alone. Drawing from passages like Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119:105, Joshua 1:8, and John 15:5, this message challenges listeners to rethink their relationship with Scripture—not as information to consume, but as a foundation to build upon. When God is close, His Word becomes active. When Scripture is embedded, spiritual power follows. And when God is within reach, nothing else gets the final say. This episode is especially meaningful for anyone entering a new season while still carrying weight from the past—and for believers who want more than a Sunday-only faith.
