Don’t forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! Do you ever wonder what the point of prayer is if God already knows what he's going to do? If so, you're not alone...and you definitely don't want to miss this episode! This week, Jaime sits down for a powerful and timeless conversation from the podcast archives with Jennifer Kennedy Dean, beloved author of Live a Praying Life. Though Jennifer unexpectedly passed away in 2019, her message continues to impact women around the world who long for deeper intimacy with Christ. In this episode, Jennifer shares the heart behind living in ongoing communion with God—not treating prayer as a spiritual task list, but as a lifestyle of surrender, attentiveness, and transformation. Jennifer unpacks how prayer aligns us with God’s purposes rather than persuading Him to adopt ours, while highlighting the importance of being willing participants in the mystery of prayer. She speaks candidly about her struggles when her brother passed away from illness after fervent prayers of her whole family, and how sometimes God's best "yes" to our prayers doesn't look quite like we'd imagined or even hoped for. If you’ve ever felt frustrated that your prayers weren’t “working,” or wondered why God sometimes seems silent, this conversation will absolutely bring you hope and encouragement. Jennifer’s legacy continues through her writing and ministry, inviting women everywhere into a richer, more transformative prayer life.

Dr Paul Chappell - Listening to God's Call by West Coast Baptist College

The relationship that you can have with the Lord is one of personal interaction. The second important component of your communication with God is listening to him from Hebrews 1:1-2.

We are bringing back one of our favorite episodes!What if following Jesus was less about carrying responsibility and more about responding to invitation?In part one of this conversation, Jennie sits down with Jamie Winship to talk about identity - not as something we achieve, but something we receive. Jamie shares his story of becoming a police officer, working in war zones, and learning to bring who he is into what he does, rather than letting his work define him.Jamie introduces two simple questions that have reshaped how Jennie leads, decides, and lives: “God, what do you want me to know?” and “What do you want me to do?” This episode invites us to slow down, listen, and remember that God is not asking us to carry everything - He's asking us to respond to Him. Resources & Links:Jennie's new book "The Lie You Don't Know You Believe" is available for pre-order NOW - GRAB A COPY HERE!Join the fight clubFight Your Lie Tour Tickets hereREGISTER TO HOST AN IF:LOCALListen to more episodes: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTubeLearn More About JennieFollow Jennie on social:InstagramFacebook

Send us a textIn this interview, Teresa McMillan shares her extraordinary experience of completing a 40-day water fast—and the deeper spiritual realities it revealed along the way.Together, we ask the questions many believers quietly wrestle with:Why do we fast?What keeps us from fasting?What actually happens—spiritually—when we do?This conversation moves beyond religious obligation and into the heart of fasting as a biblical tool for humility, clarity, repentance, and spiritual formation. We explore the resistance we feel toward fasting, the comforts we protect, and the transformation that follows surrender.If you've ever wondered whether fasting still matters—or why it feels so difficult—this episode will challenge, encourage, and reframe how you see hunger, discipline, and intimacy with God.❤️ SHOW YOUR SUPPORT - LINKS BELOW...➡️ Email me: https://www.karlgessler.com/deliverance➡️ DONATE ➡️  Join our team!https://www.givesendgo.com/karlgesslerfamilybandhttps://www.patreon.com/karlgesslerhttps://cash.app/$KarlgesslerSocial Media➡️Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089357625739➡️Telegram - https://t.me/FaithoftheFathers➡️Truth Social - https://truthsocial.com/@UCLOvq6O4aIXLrkKxwXkq3uA#Bibleteaching #deliveranceministry #demons #Christianity #DiscipleshipSupport the show

As the new year begins, the pressure to plan, move, and decide quickly can feel overwhelming. But Scripture shows us that some of God's clearest direction comes not through noise or urgency, but through silence.In this episode of Scriptures, Stories, & Strategies, Niqueea explores the biblical wisdom of pausing before planning and sitting quietly with God before making business decisions. Drawing from the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, we unpack why God often speaks in a gentle whisper, how silence brings clarity, and why January is the perfect time to realign your heart, your business, and your direction with the Lord.If you're entering the new year seeking wisdom, discernment, and peace before your next business move, this episode invites you to slow down, listen closely, and let God lead first.

Instead of giving them a script, Jesus began shaping their hearts.This sermon explores what it means to slow down, listen, and let Jesus teach us how to live close to the Father--not by praying harder, but by becoming more teachable.Whether you've prayed your whole life or you feel like you're still figuring it out, this episode offers hope, honesty, and an invitation to draw closer.Here are the messages in this series;Teach Me to ListenTeach Me to AskTeach Me to GiveLinkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this week's episode of God: An Autobiography, The Podcast, Jerry L. Martin explores one of the most practical and urgent spiritual questions we face: How do we know what we're meant to do with our lives—and how do we tell when God is guiding us?Drawing on the Hindu concepts of dharma and swadharma, Jerry explains the difference between our role-based responsibilities and our deeply personal calling; the tasks that “have your name on them.” From there, he turns to the heart of the episode: a clear, four-step method God gave him for recognizing divine communication in daily life.You'll learn how God speaks through prayer, dreams, intuition, hunches, insights, and inner signals, and how to prepare yourself to receive that guidance. Jerry breaks down each step—listening, heeding, openness of heart, and sensitive attunement—as a real spiritual practice you can begin using today.Whether you're discerning a big life decision or simply trying to stay more connected to the sacred in everyday moments, this episode offers an accessible, experiential path for SBNR seekers looking to deepen their relationship with the Divine.Listen in as Jerry shares how your search for God meets God's search for you, and how the relationship unfolds from there.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedRead the book: God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher at godanautobiography.com or AmazonShare your questions and reflections: questions@godanautobiography.comSubscribe and listen free wherever you get podcastsShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Who do you go to when life glitches? In this message, Lead Pastor, Jamie Nunnally continues our Holy Spirit series with instructions on how to engage with God's tech support.Ephesians 5:10 NLT Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.The Bible gives general truth for everyone, but it doesn't always answer specific situations. The great news: Christians have 24/7 tech support. The Bible gives the instructions; the Spirit gives the directions. The Bible brings the truth; the Spirit brings the troubleshooting.Romans 6:14 NIV For sin shall no longer be your master...How can we stop sinning if we don't follow the law? The Bible gives us the solution:Galatians 5:16–17 ESV Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh...The key is walking in the Spirit.Galatians 5:25 ESV If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. Walking with someone means matching their pace and following their lead.The 5 steps of walking in the Spirit1. Pause.Psalm 46:10 NLT Pausing is a spiritual reboot—turning your will off and on again. Stillness reboots your awareness of God. If you don't pause, your flesh will hit "send" before the Spirit can speak.2. Listen.God speaks to your spirit. His voice often sounds like your thoughts but from a different source. If you're expecting thunder, you'll miss the whisper. We hear Him through spontaneous, persistent thoughts.John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice... Recognition comes through repetition. You don't need a louder God; you need fewer voices.3. Analyze.1 Thessalonians 5:19–21 ESV Ask: "Does this align with Scripture?" The Bible is the truth anchor. Don't test God's voice with feelings; test your feelings with God's Word. The Spirit always agrees with the Bible He wrote. Ask: "Is this what the Spirit wants or what I want?" "Does this reflect Jesus?" If the voice you hear always agrees with you, it's probably you.4. Implement.Hearing from God changes nothing until you obey. If you want God to speak more, obey what He already said.James 1:22 NLT Revelation without application becomes spiritual constipation. If the Spirit can't tell you "no," He's not your Lord—He's your mascot.5. Debrief.You won't always get it right, so process the results.Psalm 139:23–24 ESV Search me, O God...Reflection turns mistakes into maturity and lessons into lifestyle. You grow not by always getting it right but by always returning to the Teacher. Processing with God's people is essential too.ClosingHow would your life be different if you had been walking in the Spirit the whole time? You can't change yesterday, but you can start today. You have Heavenly tech support anytime, anywhere. Learn to listen and use it.Are you walking in the Spirit?

During a festival at the Temple, God delivered an important message to Israel.

WHY and HOW God will REVEAL things to us in the way He does…

What truly makes people change? Is it a life event, a motivational moment, or something deeper? In this message from 1 Samuel 3, we explore one of the most pivotal moments in Israel's history—the calling of Samuel—and uncover a timeless truth about transformation that still speaks today. At a time when “the word of the Lord was rare,” Israel had grown spiritually blind. Eli, the high priest, and his sons had corrupted their sacred calling, and God's voice had grown silent. But into this silence, God calls a young boy named Samuel—a boy who didn't yet know the Lord but was ready to listen. Through Samuel's story, we see how renewal begins when someone chooses to hear and obey God's Word. As the Lord calls Samuel by name again and again, the boy learns that change doesn't come from emotion, environment, or effort—it comes from revelation. It's the moment when the heart says, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” From that day forward, God's Word—once rare—became constant and alive through Samuel's life, marking the beginning of a new era for Israel. This message reminds us that true spiritual change doesn't start with self-improvement but with surrender. When the Word of God becomes present and consistent in your life, everything begins to shift. If the Word is rare, transformation will be rare—but when it's central, you'll see God reshape your heart, your home, and your future.

This message was preached by Pastor Twitty on October 5, 2025 and is based on the third chapter of First Samuel.

Dr. Charles Stanley reminds us that one of the most vital aspects of the Christian life is learning to hear and obey the voice of God. In this message, he explains that God still speaks today—through His Word, through the Holy Spirit, and through the quiet promptings in our spirit. But listening requires a heart that is humble, attentive, and willing to surrender. Stanley warns against the distractions and noise of the world that can drown out God's voice, and he encourages believers to set aside time in prayer, Scripture reading, and stillness before the Lord. The promise is clear: when we listen to God and walk in obedience, we experience His peace, guidance, and blessing in every area of life. Jaggy,Tedi, and I thank you for tuning in and SHARING!

Many young people measure their Christianity by boxes checked and rules kept. In this episode, Bobby Bosler challenges that mindset with the words of Jesus: “But I say unto you.” Victory in the Christian life is not about religion or outward conformity, but about walking with the living Christ in daily dependence and surrender.Topics DiscussedWhat it really means to be “more than a conqueror” in ChristThe danger of checklist Christianity and outward conformityHow Jesus corrected shallow interpretations of God's lawThe difference between religion and relationshipListening to the Spirit's voice in daily lifeYielding to Christ in practical moments (family, ministry, soul winning)Key TakeawaysJesus didn't save you to lose—He saved you to live as a conqueror through His power.A checklist mentality leads to dead religion; true Christianity flows from relationship with Christ.Obedience is not about outward compliance but inward surrender to Jesus.The Spirit of God actively corrects, leads, and guides believers—if we are listening.Dependence on Jesus enables victory in habits, prayer, soul winning, and God's will.Additional ResourcesThee Generation Youth Summit — Learn more and register early for this year's conference.Upside Down Kingdom Series — Read Bobby's articles on the Sermon on the Mount (with audio read-along available).Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast — Weekly sermons from the pulpit of Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, WV.
