John 6:59-60 These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum. Therefore, many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?” Today, we learn that the teaching about the bread of life took place in the synagogue of Capernaum. We also learn that it wasn't just the crowd that balked at His teaching. Many of His disciples had a hard time with the statement Jesus made. I think the difficult statement was in verse 56. “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.” Who can listen to it? Or we might say in the context of eating, “Who can stomach the idea of eating His flesh or drinking His blood?” Something to note about Jesus' love for God and for these people: He wanted His Father to get all the glory. He didn't try to be relevant or present His message in such a way that His listeners could understand what He said from a natural mindset. Rather, He spoke the truth of the gospel with 100% trust in the Holy Spirit to work in their hearts. I'm not suggesting that we shouldn't try to communicate God's word as clearly as we can, but ultimately, only the Holy Spirit can open the heart to understand and effectually believe. Like Jesus, we want to love them by speaking the truth as clearly as we can, but trusting God to do His work of drawing them to Jesus. There are many difficult or puzzling statements made by Jesus that are recorded in the gospels. If we focus on them, we may find ourselves plagued with many doubts. However, we aren't responsible to do something with what we don't understand. We are responsible to respond to what we do understand. Deuteronomy 29:29 attests to this fact. “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.” The context is different, but the truth is timeless. Let's not stumble or grumble about the things we don't understand or that are difficult statements. Instead, let's be amazed at the truth about Jesus that we do understand, apply it to our lives, and share it with others. The encouragement I draw from these verses is that in living to love with Jesus, there will be times I don't understand what's happening, but I can trust Him, nonetheless. In the following verses, we'll see that is the attitude of some of the disciples. Bottom line is this: Love flows out of trust. May we trust in Jesus no matter what happens in our lives. He is worthy of our trust and worthy of the glory it brings Him when we do so. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of "giving it forward," so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

What makes someone truly great? In this final message from the life of Joseph, Stephen Davey walks through Genesis 46–50 and identifies seven defining marks of true greatness. These are not the things the world rewards—fame, wealth, or control—but the quiet qualities of godly character. You'll learn how Joseph used authority with humility, administered honestly, grieved openly, and forgave freely. Even in his final days, Joseph looked ahead with confidence in God's promises. He wasn't just a powerful man—he was a faithful one. Stephen highlights Joseph's leadership during a national famine, his care for his broken family, and his grace toward those who betrayed him. More than once, Joseph had the chance to take revenge or seek comfort. Instead, he chose service, forgiveness, and faith. You'll also hear how Joseph's decisions mirrored Jesus Christ, the true model of greatness. Like Jesus, Joseph used his power to save others. He was humble, visionary, and trustworthy—even when no one was watching. This episode isn't just a summary—it's a call to action. Do you want to be great in God's eyes? Start with character, not influence. And finish with faith, not applause.

Sometimes following Jesus means doing the right thing, even when you don't have to.
Text: Mark 10:32–45 In this message, Coleton draws out three defining qualities Jesus desires in His followers. As Jesus journeys to the cross, He pauses to tell His disciples what He wants them to become. In the same way a father might shape the identity of his child (like Coleton does with “bro trips” for his son), Jesus shapes the identity of His people. 1. He Wants the Cross to Be Central Jesus again reminds His disciples of His coming suffering (v.32–34), but they respond by asking for glory and reward (v.35–37). Coleton points out how easy it is to approach Jesus expecting an easier life, rather than embracing the call to die to self. • If the cross isn't central, we'll misinterpret hardship as failure, punishment, or evidence that God has let us down. • But suffering is part of the path. Like Jesus, we too will walk through pain. The cross reminds us that hardship isn't punishment—it's purpose. “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow me.” (Mark 8:34) When the cross is central: • We won't expect an easy life. • We won't minimize others' pain. • We'll learn to suffer well and bring real comfort to others who suffer. 2. He Wants Us to Be Set Apart In verses 42–44, Jesus tells His followers: “Not so with you.” Coleton emphasizes that Jesus isn't asking for moral superiority or judgment over the world, but difference. Christians should live in contrast to worldly values—not through self-righteousness but through humility, sacrifice, forgiveness, generosity, and peace. Some examples of a “Not so with you” life: • The world seeks credit; Christians serve quietly. • The world holds grudges; Christians forgive. • The world avoids reconciliation; Christians fight for it. • The world fears the future; Christians trust in God. Jesus doesn't ask us to condemn the world. He asks us to show a better way. 3. He Wants Us to Represent Him In verse 45, Jesus offers Himself as a model: “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Coleton urges listeners to ask themselves: If my life is the only picture someone sees of Jesus, what will they think He's like? Too many people claim Christ but misrepresent Him with hypocrisy, political idolatry, or cruelty. What our broken world needs is not more cultural Christians—it needs transformed people who reflect the real Jesus. People should see in us the compassion, courage, humility, and love of Christ. ⸻ Discussion Questions 1. The Cross & Suffering • How are you currently viewing your hardship or suffering? • Do you tend to see pain as a sign that something has gone wrong—or as something God can use to form you? • What would it look like to keep the cross central in your thinking during hard times? 2. Living Set Apart • Where in your life would Jesus say, “Not so with you”? • Which worldly values or habits are you tempted to follow instead of embodying Jesus' way? • What is one practical way this week you can live differently—compellingly different—in your relationships, speech, spending, or reactions? 3. Representing Jesus Well • If someone based their view of Jesus solely on how you live, what would they believe He is like? • Do people see in you someone who has been radically changed by Jesus? • How can you more clearly reflect the compassion, humility, and sacrificial love of Jesus in your day-to-day life? ⸻
In the final message of our P.R.A.Y. series, we see that yielding is a battle posture, rooted in surrender and grounded in God's Word. To fight like Jesus means giving God our feelings, our desires, and — ultimately — our trust. Join us to recover intimacy, identity, and our spiritual resiliency by Jesus teaching us how to pray.
Prayer doesn't have to be complicated or impressive. In Part 1, Chris unpacks how Jesus invites us to start simply—with two powerful words: “Our Father.” Discover how prayer can be honest, freeing, and deeply personal.Series resources HEREJoin our email list HEREPartner financially HERE

Send us a textA Summer Replay of One of Our Favorite Conversations here on the podcast: Episode 108. Dr. Alison Cook guides us and helps us understand:What if the overwhelming thoughts and feelings you've been trying to suppress, ignore, or overcome could actually become your greatest allies? In this profound conversation with Dr. Allison Cook, PhD, we delve into a revolutionary approach to emotional health through the concept of internal boundaries.Dr. Cook introduces us to the Internal Family Systems model, which recognizes the various "parts" within our souls. These managers keep us organized and productive, the firefighters who rush to numb our pain, and the exiles who carry our deepest hurts. Rather than viewing these parts as enemies to be conquered, she teaches us how to set compassionate boundaries with them and transform them into valuable allies.At the heart of this conversation is a radical truth: you get a say in your own life. For many of us, especially women, we've been conditioned to trust others' voices over our own. Dr. Cook challenges this pattern by showing how spirit-led self-leadership empowers us to honor our God-given voice while maintaining healthy relationships. This isn't selfish—it's stewardship of the unique self God created you to be.We dive deep into the practical "U-turn" process—Focus, Befriend, Invite God, Unburden, and Integrate—that helps us approach overwhelming emotions with curiosity rather than condemnation. Through stories, examples, and theological insights, Dr. Cook demonstrates how this approach differs from spiritual bypassing, offering instead a truly integrated path to healing that honors both psychology and faith.Perhaps most beautifully, Dr. Cook introduces us to the concept of "baptized imagination"—engaging our creative right brain alongside our analytical left brain in our healing journey. Like Jesus teaching through parables, sometimes our most profound transformation comes through imagery and narrative rather than mere logic.Whether you've struggled with people-pleasing, anger, anxiety, or any overwhelming emotion, this conversation offers hope. There's a path to freedom that doesn't require silencing parts of yourself, but instead welcoming them home. Ready to rewrite your story and discover the allies waiting within your soul? Listen now, and take your first step toward inner boundaries that truly set you free.Visit Dr. Alison Cook's website: Boundaries for Your SoulSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

From the mountaintop teachings to life-changing miracles, Jesus stands apart like no other. In this message, we see His compassion as He touches and heals a man with leprosy - something no one else would dare to do. Jesus doesn't just speak with authority; He moves with mercy, proving His power and love are unmatched.
