In conjunction with our Lenten devotional, New Life Rising, we're in the final week of Discipleship Pastor Grant Caldwell's weekly podcast series that coincides with each week's reading.In the final episode, Pastor Grant turns the microphone on himself to be asked what is the sobriety of forever. While we live in a culture that is obsessed with death, we have to ask what our perspective as Christians should be toward death. What happens when our dimming eyes become focused on eternity? 

In conjunction with our Lenten devotional, New Life Rising, we're in week nine of Discipleship Pastor Grant Caldwell's weekly podcast series that coincides with each week's reading.Missions Mobilization Director Stephanie Powell discusses what it means to be alive upon arrival. Through this conversation, they discuss what is dead, sapless, and blowing about in a garden may be the stuff of new life next year. Stephanie also shares this within the context of the persecuted church.

Opening Bible Verse: Matthew 18:20 Lent is meant to be a time of sacrifice and growth in our faith.  Similar to January 1st, we begin with high hopes and good intentions but often fall short of our goals.  However, when we gather together with like-minded women, join forces with God, the fruits of our efforts are beyond our expectations.   In today's episode you'll hear from 6 of the women who signed up for the Lenten Accountability Group.  We met each weekday at 5am EST during the 40 days of Lent.  We tracked our spending, decluttered, sacrificed something we love and added in fun, fitness or friendship.  However, what you'll hear over and over again from these women is that we all found community.  God brings a group together and I couldn't be more thrilled with the gift of these women.  Enjoy! XOXO, Gina   If you would like to work with me 1:1 on decluttering, budgeting, meal planning or life coaching, please email me at: tightshipmama@gmail.com to schedule your complimentary 30 minute discovery call.

“The names of God are significant,” says Brenda McCord, tonight's devotion leader. “As individuals, we are each known by our different names – formal, casual, and nicknames. God also has many names. This study offers specific Bible verses to help us better grasp the importance of God's many names – and enrich our walk with Him. We'll get to better understand Him – and ourselves.”SPECIAL NOTE: Brenda & Walt have now returned from Israel, after weeks of leading church tours. Upon arriving back in the United States, Brenda has come down with COVID. Thanks for keeping her in your prayers. We'll return soon to insights from the Book of James – but in the meantime, please enjoy this special "Best-Of Replay" of our 2nd "Walk With God" message, originally broadcast way back on 24 February 2021!This 18-minute weekly podcast is offered FREE throughout the Lenten season via top popular podcast sites, including apple podcasts.

In today's devotional, we're going to continue our pursuit of stirring up our affections for God  by looking at how God exchanges our burdens for his peace. As a society, we are more continually stressed now than ever. Stress has become our new normal. But in God, we have  the opportunity to live with a peace that surpasses our understanding. May God guide us down his path to peace today as we make space for his presence. Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 11:28-30, and today's worship is Peace by Brian & Jen Johnson. -- Thanks for listening to the First15 Podcast. We are so excited about the recent launch of our new First15 App, which is available now in your app store. One new feature that you can enjoy when you download the app is our Guided Prayers. We are adding prayers on meaningful topics every month, so be on the lookout for them! “Create in me a Clean Heart,” is our new guided prayer and comes at the perfect time of the Lenten season. As you prepare your heart for Easter, we hope you will use this prayer that our friend, Trace Kennedy, wrote to draw nearer to your Savior. God longs to pour out his grace and mercy to those who come before him with humble and contrite hearts. It's in forgiveness where we can fully come to understand the depth of our Savior's love. Trace Kennedy is the Brand Manager for Foundations with Janet Denison, a division of Denison Ministries that provides digital Bible study to anyone with a desire to study, understand, and apply the truth of Scripture to their daily lives.  Having been a student of Janet's for over twenty years, Trace is now blessed to share in the work of her ministry to help others know and love Jesus.  https://first15.org/give/  https://first15.org/

A final word after our Journey Through Lent

What is Easter? Easter is one of the central holidays, or Holy Days, of Christianity. It honors the resurrection of Jesus three days after His death by crucifixion. For many Christian churches, Easter is the joyful conclusion to the Lenten season of devoted prayer, fasting, and penitence. Our mission at Wellington Heights Community Church is to be a multi-ethnic community joining God in the reconciliation of all things through worship, reconciliation, and neighborhood development. Share your thoughts via voice memo, and we may feature you on a WHCC future podcast! Visit https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wellingtonheightschurch/message to leave us a message.

Happy Easter, everyone! We hope you have had a refreshing Lenten season and that your Easter celebrations today were encouraging and soul-stirring. On this episode we welcome back longtime friend of the show, Brett McCracken (who was our first guest), back for his fifth appearance on The Substance. Brett is a writer, a film critic of 15+ years, and he's currently a Senior Editor at The Gospel Coalition where he covers culture and the arts. Previously, we've looked at three other Malick films (links below) and one that was very much Malick adjacent (Minari, also below). This time, we're going back to the beginning. 50 years ago, Terrence Malick's Badlands debuted at the New York Film Festival where it was the star of the show, even overshadowing Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets in the eyes of many. Badlands is an impressionistic reimagining of the Charles Starkweather story. It's one forgotten to many now, or mainly known because of this film, but to the generation of filmgoers in the early 70s, this was a chilling and familiar story that was deeply tied into American culture. Badlands is not currently on any of the subscription streaming services but it's available to rent or purchase on several platforms. It is also available to purchase from The Criterion Collection and is likely at many of your local libraries! :) If you enjoy the show, consider leaving a rating & review on iTunes or Spotify and sharing with a friend!

For thousands of years people have been asking “Who is God?” God himself describes Himself as the “I AM.” But what did that mean then? And how is it relevant to us now? As we journey through the Lenten season toward the celebration of Easter, we will bring the I AM to life as we reflect on the seven I AM statements declared by Jesus. In doing so, our hope is that you would experience community, grow in your awareness, appreciation and celebration of who Jesus is and what He has done and wants to do for you.

In this powerful Tenebrae service, the Claremont UCC Chancel Choir is joined by the choirs of Whittier College and Chaffee College in a performance of Fauré's Requiem. Before the final movement, Pastor Jen shares a powerful message as we end our Lenten journey by sitting together in unhurried grief, taking time to mourn Jesus and all his fellow innocent victims of violence. May we all be transformed in the days ahead.

Can we allow oursleves to be exposed before the Lord in prayer?  Are we able to be before the Lord as we are and not holding anything back of ourselves or hiding ourselves in any way?  These are the questions that we are attempting to unpack in this seventh part of our Lenten series.  In this episode we are talking about how we can be stripped of all the things we cloth ourselves with—to be clothed with the dignity of the Father's providence and our identity. An invitation to be naked without shame and give the God everything—to be able to surrender the fullness of our past, our lives to Him and firmly trust that he can take it all on himself and let us begin again.

Loving God can sound so simple. But when we think about what it means to love God with everything we have, we all have to recognize that we fall short. Thankfully, our relationship with God isn't built on our own faithfulness, but his. So as we continue to journey toward Easter this week, let us reflect on God's great love for us and the distance he went to demonstrate it through the life and death of Jesus. Our Scripture for today comes from 1 John 4:19, and today's worship is Falling In Love by Phil Wickham. -- Thanks for listening to the First15 Podcast.

In this episode, we conclude our Lenten book study Be Transformed by Dr. Bob Schuchts. We share what stood out to us most from the book study, how the Holy Spirit has been moving in our lives this Lent, and practical tips to continue your healing transformation this Easter season. Friends, God's presence is always there, He does not leave us to fend for ourselves. As we journey through Holy Week and into Easter, we have the perfect opportunity to receive the Sacraments with a renewed and transformed heart.

Where do I need the Lord to love me? How is the Lord inviting me to bring the healing I have experienced through this book study into Easter?   Quotes to Ponder: To be sure, it was not Easter Sunday but Holy Saturday, but, the more I reflect on it, the more this seems to be fitting for the nature of our human life: we are still awaiting Easter; we are not yet standing in the full light but walking toward it full of trust. - Pope Benedict XVI   Faith in the resurrection of Jesus says that there is a future for every human being;  the cry for unending life which is a part of the person is indeed answered… God exists: that is the real message of Easter. Anyone who even begins to grasp what this means also knows what it means to be redeemed. – Pope Benedict XVI   Scripture for Lectio:  “His divine power has bestowed on us everything that makes for life and devotion” - 2 Peter 1:3   Sponsor - The Little Catholic: Today's sponsor is The Little Catholic.

This 4th part of a 4 part series on the Little Way of St. Therese of Lisieux.  During this Lenten journey join me for this 4 part series that explores the theology and spiritual depths of the life, teaching and little way of St. Therese of Lisieux. This year we celebrate the 150th anniversary of her birth. This radical and often misunderstood saint has much to teach us during this lenten season.

How does Jesus have authority? It is through His obedience to the Father. But one incredible reality of Jesus is that, in His authority He takes all the stench to the cross where it will be killed in His crucifixion. His authority is not one that lords it over us. It's not one that forces us to bow down and tremble before Him. But it's one that allows Himself to be emptied and clothed with all the messiness, struggles, confusion and pain so he can take it to his death at the cross. And in His authority he conquers sin and death, upon his resurrection. This episode is the sixth part of our Lenten series on Fr. Mark Toups's Lenten Companion that reminds us that we should not take lightly that God comes and let himself be stripped and crucified for all of us—an invitation to allow Jesus to have authority to live his life in obedience and in surrender to his Father, within ourselves.

Thank you!

As we continue our series looking at different ways God speaks to us as his children, today we're going to look at the role of Scripture in hearing God. The pages of Scripture contain so many amazing stories of how God spoke to his people. Within these stories we see the power of a people focused on following God's leadership, and the destruction that takes place when people go their own way.    May God stir up our hearts to hear his voice through the pages of Scripture today. And may we align our hearts with the principles found in its pages. Our Scripture for today comes from Deuteronomy 8:3, and today's worship is Heal Our Land by Kari Jobe Carnes. -- Thanks for listening to the First15 Podcast.

Trace Kennedy is the Brand Manager for Foundations with Janet Denison, a division of Denison Ministries that provides digital Bible study to anyone with a desire to study, understand, and apply the truth of Scripture to their daily lives.  Having been a student of Janet's for over twenty years, Trace is now blessed to share in the work of her ministry to help others know and love Jesus.  https://first15.org/give/  https://first15.org/

In this episode, we continue with part six of our Lenten book study Be Transformed by Dr. Bob Schuchts. We discuss how the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick heals the wound of hopelessness and share the different ways we approach these dark and sometimes scary places in life. While, in the moment, it may appear that we are alone, God never leaves us and wants to restore our hope in Him. Whenever you experience hopelessness, we invite you to surrender your sorrows to Him and courageously place your hope in our faithful God. Hey friends! We are going to continue this series with one more bonus episode next Monday, April 3rd to share further insights and conclude Be Transformed.    Heather's One Thing - Matt Maher's new albums exclusively on Hallow Sister Miriam's One Thing - The wonderful people in Grand Rapids, MI from the KEPHA men's and women's conferences!

Justin Brady Why Your Story Makes It Hard to Hope - Adam Young (The Place We Find Ourselves Podcast)   Discussion Questions: Is Jesus' resurrection real and important in your daily life? What prevents you from believing that Jesus is who He says He is? For which wounds or sorrows have you started to lose hope for healing? What is the truth that God is inviting you to proclaim in response to feelings of hopelessness?   Journal Questions: How have you encountered the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick? Where in my life do I experience hopelessness? What obstacles in my life and heart make it hard for me to experience hope? What does the Holy Spirit need to remind me of in this season of life?   Quotes to Ponder:  “Every temptation comes down to this one final temptation, it is the temptation to believe that the satisfaction of the deepest desires of our heart is totally up to us.” - Fr. Albacete   Healing and miracles often increase our hope, but they are not the basis for our hope. We have another more trustworthy, rock-solid foundation for our hope: the person, Jesus Christ, who describes himself as “the resurrection and the life.” He told Martha, anyone who believes in him will never die (see Jn11:25-26). Holding firm to this hope, we are promised a share in his life. All of us who believe in the Resurrection are already “raised to life” This is our hope.   - Be Transformed, pg 150   Scripture for Lectio:  "Cure the sick, raise the dead." - Matthew 10:7–8   Sponsor - Leanne Bowen: Today's sponsor is Leanne Bowen Fine Art.

Join us this Lenten season as we dive into our 2023 devotional, New Wine!

"Have I told Jesus all of my story?" That's the question that we are going to unpack in this episode. Most of us have confessed and have sought healing in particular places of our lives, but there are still parts of who we are now that we keep in the dark—the stench.  The reality of that stench is that it is discouraging and it is despairing, but Jesus comes and He's not afraid of that. This episode is the fifth part of our Lenten series on Fr. Mark Toups's Lenten Companion. An invitation to have the radical vulnerability and trust to say "Jesus here is everything." and let Him see all of the death and stench in our lives.

In this episode, we continue with part five of our Lenten book study Be Transformed by Dr. Bob Schuchts. We discuss how Reconciliation heals the wound of shame. We chat about how we all have wounds that make us feel unlovable and send us into isolation, which opens the door for the enemy to attack us with doubts and lies about these tender places. When we go to Confession, these places are brought out of shame, into the light, and restored to the truth that we are deeply and tenderly loved by God. This Lent, we encourage you to allow God's mercy to restore you in the sacrament of confession.    Heather's One Thing - Jordan Peterson Heather's Other One Thing - The song Communion by Maverick City (feat. Steffany Gretzinger & Brandon Lake) Sister Miriam's One Thing - Springtime! Yay! Michelle's One Thing - Holy Grit - Paul George (you can find on Amazon here) Discussion Questions: How have you experienced healing in the Sacrament of Reconciliation? How do you hide in your shame and sinfulness? In what ways do you desire to more deeply experience the power of the sacrament?   Journal Questions: In what ways am I hiding my sinfulness when I confess my sins? Where do I experience shame that the Lord is inviting me to bring to Him for healing? Have I been hurt by the brokenness of priests in the Sacrament of Reconciliation? What does Jesus say to me in that wound? When was the last time I made a good confession? Quotes to Ponder: The sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the Church's primary means of communicating this incredible and completely underserved gift of God's compassion and forgiveness. Through the sacrament, the Holy Spirit is capable of reaching the deepest areas of our heart that keep us in degradation and separation. - Be Transformed, pg 123   “The whole power of the sacrament of Penance [Reconciliation] consists in restoring us to God's grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship” (CCC, 1468). As such it heals the wounds of shame (dis-grace) and restores us to our true identity in Christ, as pure and undefiled children of the Father (see 1 Jn 3:1–3). - Be Transformed, pg 123    Scripture for Lectio:  “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on, do not sin anymore.” John 8:11   Sponsor - House of Joppa: This week's episode is sponsored by House of Joppa.  If you are looking for beautifully curated Catholic home décor, jewelry, art, rosaries, and other gifts, look no further than House of Joppa.  Each product is designed to draw you deeper into your faith and help you to fall more in love with Christ and His Church.
