Podcasts about letting god

I've struggled with self-reliance my whole life. Growing up, I learned early to count on myself. And the world cheers that on. It applauds hustle, control, and making things happen. What the world doesn't applaud is waiting on God. In this episode I share one of the hardest seasons of my walk with Jesus. I waited on God for years in an area then I hit this point where I grew impatient and took matters into my own hands. I went back to self reliance.  As a daughter of the King self reliance doesn't make sense when the one who created us and has great plans for us wants us relying completely on him.  And here's the thing. God was answering that prayer the whole time. I just couldn't see it yet. We'll look at Abraham and Sarah, who took matters into their own hands. We'll look at the Israelites, who turned an 11-day journey into 40 years. And we'll look at Job, who praised God even after losing everything. I close with four scriptures to speak over yourself when the enemy whispers, "Did God really say?" If you're growing weary in the waiting, this one is for you. Timestamps 00:00 Why self-reliance has been my lifelong struggle 00:27 The world applauds self-reliance, not waiting on God 00:54 Trusting God when the timeline doesn't match ours 01:21 Unanswered prayers in love, family, and finances 02:44 Abraham and Sarah take matters into their own hands 03:37 The enemy's lies go all the way back to the garden 04:07 My story: years of waiting on God in singleness 05:30 The season I went my own way, and what it cost me 06:27 It's not about the business or the relationship. It's about your heart. 07:24 God was answering that prayer all along 08:14 "Did God really say?" How the enemy chips away at our faith 09:39 Delight yourself in the Lord 10:34 Seek first the kingdom of God 11:33 Sometimes the wait is about the journey, not the answer 12:27 The Israelites: an 11-day journey that took 40 years 13:24 Job praised God through it all 14:41 My four years off track and the gap in this podcast 16:34 The take-home: don't go into self-reliance 17:59 Letting God's Word, not our feelings, tell us who He is 19:28 Perspective from our persecuted brothers and sisters 20:57 We were never meant to cling to this world 23:18 Four verses for staying in God reliance 23:38 Proverbs 3:5-6 26:10 Isaiah 40:31 and Philippians 4:13 26:37 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 27:34 He's enough, so we don't have to be 28:58 Fight back with scripture, just like Jesus did 29:55 Closing encouragement Key Takeaways God's timing won't match the world's timeline. If we're waiting on Him, our journey will look different, and that's okay. Doubt makes self-reliance look smart. When time passes, the enemy whispers that God isn't coming through, so we might as well do it ourselves. Taking matters into our own hands costs us. Abraham and Sarah made a mess. So did I. God still keeps His promises, but we miss out along the way. Our attitude in the waiting matters. The Israelites' complaining and unbelief kept a generation out of the promised land. Praise is always in our hands. Job lost everything and still worshiped. We can choose thankfulness no matter what. It was never about the answered prayer. Our relationship with God is the point. Everything else is a bonus. Keep this world in perspective. It's temporary, and where we're going is so much better. We don't have to be enough. He is enough, and that takes all the pressure off. Answer the enemy with scripture. Jesus did it three times in the wilderness, and we can too. Scriptures Referenced (NKJV) Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong." Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart." Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Philippians 4:6 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;" Proverbs 22:7 "The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender." Genesis 3:1 "Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, 'Has God indeed said, "You shall not eat of every tree of the garden"?'" Genesis 16:2 "So Sarai said to Abram, 'See now, the LORD has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.' And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai." Genesis 21:1-2 "And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him." Deuteronomy 1:2 "It is eleven days' journey from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea." Philippians 2:14 "Do all things without complaining and disputing," Job 1:21 "And he said: 'Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD.'" Job 42:10 "And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before." Ephesians 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us," Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose." 2 Corinthians 4:18 "while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." Matthew 4:4 "But He answered and said, 'It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."'" Your Next Step Pick one of the four verses from this episode and write it somewhere you'll see it every day. The next time the enemy asks, "Did God really say?" answer him with it.

How Fatherhood Changes the Way You See God, Identity, and Story The crew start the conversation about Tommy's new baby and quickly opens into something much bigger: how becoming a father changes how you understand God as Father, your own identity, and the stories you live and pass on. The discussion moves from sleepless newborn life to practical fatherhood, spiritual formation, and the weight of example. They discuss how a son becomes a father without losing his identity, why stories shape children more than lectures, and how a father's daily life becomes the model a child absorbs. Key topics In this episode, Tommy shares what changed in him during the first week of fatherhood, from joy and sleeplessness to a new sense of responsibility. Bryan reframes fatherhood around identity, saying a father should not simply react to what he lacked growing up, but learn who each child is and what they are designed to become. Tommy talks about the shift from living centered on himself to living with his son in view, and how that affects his hopes, ambitions, and daily choices. The group explores the idea that small commitments matter, because children learn from the micro examples they see every day. Tommy names courage as one of the main qualities he wants his son to inherit, along with a living awareness that God is his Father. Caleb explains that his own father influenced him most through conversation, consistent character, and stories that matched the way his dad actually lived. The conversation returns often to the power of story, especially how real stories from a father can create lasting conviction in a child. Bryan connects that to Jesus, who said he only did what he saw the Father do, arguing that obedience grows out of relationship rather than pressure. Tommy and Caleb both reflect on “dad lore” as more than a joke, describing it as the collection of lived experiences that become valuable inheritance for a son. Bryan closes by emphasizing that the goal of fatherhood is not merely to avoid being a bad dad, but to help children know the Father and recognize what good actually looks like.

Steve Blewett guest

When God's people had just finished rebuilding the broken walls of Jerusalem and gathered to hear the law read aloud, they were moved to tears. They heard how far they had fallen short of how God wanted them to live, and the grief was genuine and real. But Nehemiah stepped in with a message that must have surprised them: stop grieving and start celebrating. Eat good food, enjoy sweet drinks, share with those who have nothing prepared. Why? Because this day is holy to the Lord, and the joy of the Lord is your strength. Joy and happiness are not the same thing, and that distinction matters enormously for anyone trying to navigate a difficult season with faith intact. Happiness depends on circumstances. When things go well, it is present. When things go wrong, it disappears. The joy of the Lord operates on entirely different terms. It is based not on how a day is going, but on who God is — and because God never changes, His joy never runs out. It is available in any circumstances, at any moment, as a choice rooted in what we know to be true about Him. Notice also what Nehemiah asked the people to do once they received that joy: share it. Joy that fills the heart naturally spills over into generosity, into noticing others who are in need, and into action. The burden of the world does not have to rest on our shoulders. We simply need to let our loving Heavenly Father lead the heart — and let His joy be our strength, today and every day. Bible Verse "Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength."— Nehemiah 8:10, NIV Ponder Today Joy is a gift from God that can be chosen in any circumstances. Unlike happiness, which depends on things going well, the joy of the Lord is rooted in God's unchanging character and love. It is available to you right now, regardless of what your day looks like. The joy of the Lord acts like fuel for the soul. Pushing through difficulty in your own strength leads to exhaustion. Letting God's joy fill your heart gives you the energy, peace, and confidence to keep going — not because circumstances improved, but because your source of strength did not change. You do not have to pretend problems do not exist to choose joy. Choosing joy is choosing to focus on God's goodness rather than temporary troubles. It is believing that God is stronger than the challenge, not pretending the challenge is not real. Joy that fills the heart naturally spills over into generosity. Nehemiah's instruction was to share food with those who had nothing. God's joy cannot be kept to yourself — it produces a desire to notice others in need and respond with the same abundance we have received. You do not have to carry the world on your shoulders. Your job is to let your Heavenly Father lead your heart. When stress comes, remember God is with you. When guilt sneaks in, remember His love is unconditional. When worry rises, remember His power is more than sufficient. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, thank You for loving me completely and unconditionally and for giving me strength in every situation. You know the burdens I have been carrying lately. You know what makes my heart feel overwhelmed with sadness or stress. Today I want to lay all those worries at Your feet and trust You to help me with each of them. Please fill my heart right now with the joy that only You can give. Help me remember that my joy does not depend on my circumstances, but on Your goodness, which never changes. Teach me how to let Your joy lead my thoughts, words, and actions today. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, remind me that Your joy is my true strength. Give me an open heart to notice those around me who are suffering, and show me simple ways to share Your joy with them. Thank You, God. Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom and encouragement delivered right to your inbox.

You don't have to be perfect to become a hero. God uses even the broken ones to make a difference, as long as they have decided to fully surrender their life to Him. When you surrender your brokenness to God and allow Him to move, He can restore your life and write a new story.Support CBN Asia today!https://www.cbnasia.com/giveSupport the show

We're in the final section of Ephesians. Sit, walk, stand. This is the stand.In part 21 of their Ephesians series, Rachel and Amy work through the armour of God in Ephesians 6:10-17, asking what it actually means to put it on. Not as a metaphor to admire, but as a daily reality to live in.They talk about why the battle is never with flesh and blood, what it looks like to recognise spiritual attack in ordinary life, and why every single piece of armour points back to the same thing: not try harder, but surrender.

Letting God Be Lord Over Your Finances, which Are His but He Entrusted to You, Will Liberate Your Life! MESSAGE SUMMARY:  We are so focused on earning money and other financially driven life activities so that it is easy for money and finances to become our god. Making finances “our god” violates the Second Commandment. If Jesus is Lord over all Creation, as we are told in Psalms 24:1, then: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.”; therefore, everything that has been entrusted to you is God's. In James 5:1-3, the author of the Book of James provides insight into someone who does NOT make God the Lord of their finances: “Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.”. Therefore, let God Be Lord over your finances, which really are His finances.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FORGIVEN. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Psalms 24:1-10; James 5:1-6; Psalms 25:1-22; Psalms 45:1-17.

The Disciples Corner

Some ministries shape your life.Some worship leaders change how you see God.Some churches help form who you become.So what do you do when those ministries, leaders, or organizations don't survive?—In this episode, Tyler explores the pain of watching influential ministries fall apart, why those moments can feel deeply personal, and how to protect the good things God did in your life without becoming trapped by disappointment, bitterness, or confusion.The goal isn't pretending the pain isn't real.The goal is letting God purify the root system so you can move forward with hope.IN THIS EPISODE:• Why some ministry failures affect us more deeply than others• The connection between pain and impact• Remembering who the true Author was all along• How to separate God's work from human failure• Why you don't have to throw away every good thing that came from a broken ministry• Allowing God to heal the root system of your heart

Are you ready for an explosion of faith and hope in your life? Did you know that your actions and your faith have the power to either let God loose to bless you, or completely hinder His activities in your life? In Psalm 78:41, we see a powerful warning: the people actually limited the Holy One of Israel. God wants to pour out His promises, but He is looking for a specific heart posture. In this message, Pastor Steven Hilton ministers a powerful word that will change the way you see your daily walk with God.Notes & Scriptures for this message are available in the Notes section of the Giving Light App.Visit our website at www.givinglight.org.Download the Giving Light App available for free on iOS and Android.

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series by unpacking the Biblical principle of letting God shape our heart's desires. We often believe we will find satisfaction in making our own decisions and simply asking God to bless them. But all throughout Scripture it is clear that God wants to guide us, direct our paths, give us wisdom, and show us the way we should go. Scripture is also clear that as we build our lives around Him, our desires align with His. This episode challenges us to freshly examine whether we are truly allowing God to shape our desires and lead our lives.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

In this episode of the Eyes on Jesus Podcast, Drew and Tim tackle one of the most divisive conversations in modern Christianity: false teachers, discernment, church culture, and the rise of “heresy hunter” content online. Right now, social media is flooded with clips calling pastors heretics, false teachers, or wolves—and many Christians are left wondering:What actually makes someone a false teacher?Is every bad sermon automatically heresy?Can a pastor say something wrong without being condemned?And what's the difference between biblical discernment and a critical spirit?This episode dives deep into:what scripture says about false teacherswhy context matters with online sermon clipshow church culture can unintentionally produce critical peoplethe dangers of outrage-based Christianityand why believers must know scripture for themselves instead of living off internet callout cultureDrew and Tim also share personal stories from ministry, discuss public Christian leaders like Joel Osteen, Steven Furtick, and Ravi Zacharias, and wrestle honestly with the tension between grace, truth, discernment, and accountability. At the center of the conversation is a simple reminder:Our eyes ultimately belong on Jesus—not internet controversies.

Adulthood toughens us. Every time we’re lied to, let down, or taken advantage of, we build a thicker skin and vow, “Never again.” Over time, that can make us skeptical, and even cynical. But today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie reminds us that a hardened heart can’t fully connect with God. It’s like we’re turtles hiding in our shells, keeping everyone out. But good news is coming. Pastor Greg helps us come out of that shell and open our hearts to the Lord. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

You may know Thomas Rhett from his incredible country music career or Lauren from her beloved Live in Love podcast or book, but I want you to get to know (and hear) their deep faith today. When they called me and said, “We want to tell the story of what God did in our lives last year,” I knew we had to share it. As we talk about prayer this month, I want you to hear what perseverance and obedience in prayer looked like in their lives through this story.  Last year, they spent 6 weeks living in Uganda after sensing God telling them that's what they were supposed to do, and it wasn't the trip they imagined. At all. You're going to hear the entire story along with their journey over the last couple years of trying to figure out if they should grow their family (spoiler alert: Lauren is due any minute with their 5th!).  In these two episodes, you'll hear the power of prayer, the way God speaks when we make space to listen for His voice, the reminder that we're never alone, and the reality that obedience to God is never promised to be easy. You're not going to want to miss part 2 coming your way on Thursday.  And remember, head over to spirituallystronger.com today where we're processing what perseverance and obedience in prayer looks like in our lives.   . . . .
