Podcasts about life giving

Peace is the fruit of the spirit. It has changed me again to study and ponder the real depths of Shalom—peace in Hebrew. God wants us to enjoy the fullness of life, quietness, a rest, a sense of flourishing every day because of His reality.

How many of you can distinctly remember a soul-stabbing comment made about you by someone you cared about or wish cared about you? Do you still feel the pain of that many years later? What if YOU are the one saying hateful things about yourself, like, "I am so stupid! I am so fat!"The Bible has a lot to say about our words, because they matter more than we realize. We have the opportunity each new day to speak life, health, and prosperity over ourselves, our families, and our situations. In the same way, we have opportunities each day to speak death, destruction, and lack. We can come into agreement with Jesus and what He says about us, or come into agreement with satan, who only wants to steal, kill, and destroy us. Listen in as Tiffany Jo Baker discusses the power of creating confessions and daily declaring God's truth over ourselves every single day.Listen in for:Why what we speak over ourselves can make a differenceWhat God says about our words in the BibleHow we can use Scripture to create daily life-giving confessionsFavorite Quotes:"You, too, can create daily declarations. If there's a subject or a thing going on in your life, find what the Word says and speak it out daily." - Tiffany Jo Baker"The old nursery rhyme, 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!' is a lie from the pit of hell!" - Tiffany Jo BakerFavorite Scripture:"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit." - Proverbs 18:21*If you're looking for perfectly polished people or podcast, this isn't for you.

THE WORD OF GOD: HIS POWERFUL, LIFE-GIVING, SOURCE OF TRUTH AND AUTHORITY è The Word of God • Jesus is the Living Word! (John 1:1, 2, 14) • Jesus is the only Perfect representative of Father God! (John 1:1,2; John 14:9; John 5:19, 20; John 12:49, 50; Hebrews 1:3) (God's ultimate expression) • Therefore, God's character is Full of Grace and Truth (flowing from His Love: 1 John 4:16; John 1:14; John 14:9) • Jesus' opinion of the Word: John 17:17 • We do not worship the Bible, the Scripture, but the Lord is the object of the Word and Scripture is God's written revelation of Who He is, what He is like, what He does, etc. • The Word of God and the Spirit of God are inseparable! (John 6:63; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:23-25) è The Scripture: written documents of God's Word: (Holy Scriptures: 2 Timothy 3:15) • John 17:17; 2 Peter 3:15, 16; 2 Timothy 3:16) “My assignment is NOT to feed you spiritual “milk and cookies”, but rather to present to you, by the Holy Spirit's enabling, the energizing, nurturing, fortifying “meat of the Word” so that you Grow and are strengthened to take on and succeed in YOUR STORY FOR HIS GLORY!” Pastor Steve Franklin

Proverbs 15:31-33 Dan Cooper | July 20, 2025

When Jesus told Martha, "there is need of only one thing" (Lk 10:42), He was inviting her into what Mary had found, and what we were all truly created for: intimacy in divine love...

After giving the 10 Commandments, God gave additional laws and directions for how His people should live out the commandments in their day-to-day lives. As Christians today, we strive to obey the 10 Commandments. Though we are not required to follow the additional laws that applied to ancient Israel, we can learn from God's life-giving laws for a broken world, and gain an understanding of his desire for protection, justice, mercy, and restoration.

This week, we explored Psalm 119 and how true spiritual life comes not from our own effort, but from God's Word and power. Listeners are invited to join us this summer in reading through the NT as a community.

Thank you for joining us for Christian Faith Center's Sermon of the week. This message is from our Nampa Location. Pastor Jordan continues our message series "David"1 Samuel 18:1-3 NLT: After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king's son. There was an immediate bond between them, for Jonathan loved David. 2. From that day on Saul kept David with him and wouldn't let him return home. 3. And Jonathan made a solemn pact with David, because he loved him as he loved himself.This was a deep friendship that was so different than the, “if it benefits me then I will be part of it” relationships we have today. It was this friendship that would save his life.

God designed us to be connected and in community, but relationships are hard, often broken, and take a lot of work. Join us for this (super-long because it matters) new series on navigating all kinds of relationships that impact our lives – from our relationship with God to our obsessive codependence with our phones (this isn't just a marriage series, y'all).

Today on Speaking Out of Place I talk with Leanne Betasamosake Simpson about her new book, Theory of Water.  Theory of Water is a rich, complex, and deeply personal reflection on world-making and life-giving processes best captured in the fluidity of water as it circulates through all our bodies and the planet.  It is a largely collective project that enlists our listening and love, and helps us face the violence of all forms of dominance, enclosure, and containment.  We are especially gifted to have the chance to listen to one of the songs from Leanne's album, Theory of Ice, and have her comment on it and the relation of her music to her writing.  This is a particularly special episode of Speaking Out of Place.Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg scholar, writer, and musician.  She is the author of eight previous books, including the novel Noopiming: A Cure for White Ladies, which was short listed for the Dublin Literary prize and the Governor General's award for fiction. Leanne's album, Theory of Ice, released by You've Changed Records in 2021 and short-listed for the Polaris Prize and she was the 2021 winner of the Prism Prize's Willie Dunn Award. Her latest project Theory of Water was published by Knopf Canada/Haymarket books in the spring of 2025.  Leanne is a member of Alderville First Nation.

Homemaking is so much more than just cooking and cleaning—it's about creating the atmosphere of our homes. In today's shorter devotional episode, I'm sharing a refreshed blog post that reminds us of the life-giving role the Lord has entrusted to us as Christian women. True peace in our homes doesn't come from having everything just right or crossing off our to-do list. It comes from Christ reigning in our hearts. The more we abide in Him—through His Word, prayer, and obedience—the more His peace flows into how we love and serve our families.

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Ezra 8:21,23, Nehemiah 1:3-4

The world loves stories that end with a "happily ever after", yet there are many situations where this doesn't ring true. The story of the cross seemed like a story that ends in a tragedy and heartbreak, we see hope quickly being lost. It is heartbreaking when we put ourselves in the shoes of Mary, and the disciples who are watching their beloved leader brutally murdered, where is the hope? Where is the happily ever after? Before we jump ahead to the empty tomb, we have to hear the sorrow of the Savior on the cross as He hangs in my place and yours, so that we can have the happily ever after that He has purchased for us with His blood. Listen closely, the cross is still speaking, it invites you to the Savior's sorrow so you can have sinless joy.

What does it mean for Jesus to be sustained by giving life? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper turns to John 4:27–42 to show how Christ's obedience overflows as life for the world.

Send us a textMind renewal was never meant to be complicated, exhausting, or just another spiritual checklist. Yet many believers have turned this life-giving practice into legalism, self-help, or an overwhelming to-do list, missing its true power. Instead of striving to earn God's favor through mental exercises, we are invited into something far greater—alignment with God's perspective, bringing peace rather than pressure.True mind renewal refreshes the soul rather than depleting it. It's about thinking God's thoughts after Him, allowing His Word and Spirit to transform us. When we stop striving and simply receive the mind of Christ, we experience a gift, not a burden—a daily invitation into God's presence that brings joy, contentment, and lasting change.
