Podcasts about living for christ

Samuel Goulet teaches from Daniel 1, showing how believers can live for Christ without compromise in a world that constantly pressures them to conform. Through Daniel's example, this episode calls listeners to stay rooted in their identity in Christ, reject the values of the world, and walk in holiness, wisdom, and courage. It's a powerful reminder that following Christ faithfully means standing firm in His truth while still living with love and honor toward others.

When we are "rooted in Christ" it enables us to live freely for him. We often try to put additional rules, regulations and barriers in our faith, but truly a relationship with Christ is enough!

Porn is quietly wrecking lives, even in the Church. It hijacks your brain, distorts your identity, and drains your spiritual power. But freedom isn't a myth. Jesus calls for radical change, and Scripture lays out a real path forward.

Remember Me | To the Ends of the Earth In Acts 20, Paul reflects on his life and gives a clear picture of what mattered most. Faithfulness to God's calling. Proclaiming the gospel. Living with humility. Finishing strong. This message invites listeners to examine their own lives through those same questions. It is not about perfection. It is about direction. Are we living in a way that points people to Jesus and reflects a life fully surrendered to Him. Key Insights: Faithfulness is not about doing everything. It is about doing what God has specifically called you to do. Sharing the gospel is a responsibility for every believer, not just a select few. A life that points to Jesus requires humility and a shift away from self-focus. Finishing strong is built through daily obedience, not one-time decisions. A meaningful life is marked by giving, serving, and adding value to others rather than taking.

Galatians 2:19-2119 “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”[a]

The world is shifting. Truth is under attack. Truth Rising, a new documentary from Focus on the Family and the Colson Center, reveals the crisis shaking faith, identity, and morality. But we can make a difference when we stand in God’s truth. Join the movement—watch now!

Brian From reflects on the legacy of James Van Der Beek and the sobering revelations surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, asking whether the so-called “culture wars” are masking deeper moral and spiritual realities. Drawing from Russell Moore’s analysis and the book of Philippians, Brian challenges listeners to move beyond outrage and partisanship toward a life anchored in Christ. The episode closes with a powerful reminder that true spiritual growth is measured not by knowledge or tribal loyalty, but by living for Christ and loving others with the humility of Jesus Himself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul taught the Colossians an essential principle regarding how to live the Christian life, and one that is often ignored or overlooked. And yet, biblically it brings the greatest glory to God and the greatest progress to our spiritual development. Dr. Jeff explains in this week's episode.

Living For Christ (01.01.26) by Paul Osei Yaw Afoakwa

Sermon Summary: “Forgetting What Is Behind You, Living for Christ”   A Call to a Year of Yielding The sermon opens with a prophetic emphasis for the new year: a year of yielding. God's will is not accomplished in believers' lives through effort alone, but through surrender. Just as Jesus yielded His will to the Father in Gethsemane, believers are called to yield their strength, plans, and control to God so His purposes can be fulfilled. Sanctification Comes Through Yielding Believers are already perfected in Christ, yet are continually being sanctified. Sanctification is not achieved by striving, but by yielding to the work of the Holy Spirit. Our position in Christ is greater than our current condition, and real spiritual growth requires humility, honesty, and willingness to change. Peter's Failure Reveals the Danger of Self-Confidence Through Matthew 26, the sermon examines Peter's denial of Jesus. Peter failed because he: Refused to believe Jesus' warning Neglected prayer and watchfulness Substituted action for prayer Followed Jesus from a distance Catered to his flesh This progression shows how spiritual drift leads to open denial when believers rely on self-confidence rather than surrender. Yielding Prevents Spiritual Collapse Jesus warned, “Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation.” The sermon explains the difference between falling into temptation and entering into it deliberately. Yielding involves intentionally setting one's life up for spiritual success through prayer, discipline, and obedience. God's Grace Restores the Fallen Despite Peter's failure, God's grace was greater. Fifty days later, Peter stood up on the Day of Pentecost and preached the most powerful sermon in history. This demonstrates that failure does not disqualify a yielded heart. God restores those who repent and trust His grace. Forgetting What Is Behind From Philippians 3, the sermon teaches that many believers are controlled by their past. “Forgetting” does not mean erasing memory, but neglecting its power. Paul deliberately turned away from both sinful and successful parts of his past so he could pursue Christ fully. Yielding Requires Intentional Neglect of the Past Believers must choose to lay aside memories, regrets, accomplishments, and wounds that hinder forward movement. No counselor or circumstance can do this for someone—it is a personal decision empowered by the Holy Spirit. A Unified Pursuit of Christ The church is described as a people who are “with it” because they share the same pursuit, not because of obligation or structure. When believers wake each day seeking to please God, unity naturally follows. Final Call The sermon concludes with a strong call to surrender: Yield fully to God Forget what is behind Press toward the upward call of Christ Live not by sight, but by faith Believers are challenged to enter the new year with renewed commitment, trusting that a yielded life leads to freedom, restoration, and spiritual power.

What does living for Christ in every season look like? As believers, we're called to live fully surrendered to Jesus—not just in moments of inspiration, but through every season of life. In this message, Bill Johnson invites us into a deeper understanding of consistency, maturity, and wholehearted devotion to Christ. Drawing from the life of King Hezekiah, we see how God shapes leaders, disciplines those He loves, and builds internal strength so that His blessings don't become too great for us to carry. As favor increases, so does responsibility—and true promotion is always meant to bless the people around us.This sermon speaks to the refining mercy of God, the call to remain tender and childlike, and the importance of maintaining our first love through seasons of pruning, testing, and growth. It's a reminder that faith isn't sustained by inspiration alone, but by lordship—by choosing obedience, worship, and trust even when emotions fade. Our prayer is that you say, "yes," to the invitation to live aware of what you're truly living for as you devote your life to Jesus.

Although believers come from different cultures, backgrounds, and consciences, they are called to live in unity by treating disputable matters with grace and love.  Paul places responsibility on the “strong” to lay down their freedoms for the sake of the “weak”, modeling the self-giving sacrifice of Christ.  The ultimate goal is a generous family of […]

Today we're trashing feminism some more, because it obviously deserves it. Feminism is not only unbiblical, it's extremely destructive for all of society. We'll talk about why Christian podcasters like Allie Beth Stuckey shouldn't defend their feminism while claiming to follow Christ, and why Christianity itself is a patriarchy, by God's design. It's time for biblical men to stop waiting for permission from feminists and take back the authority God gave them. We'll also discuss more of the Trump administration's mistakes, including this ridiculous new 50-year mortgage idea that proves how far from wisdom our leaders have fallen.

Bobby looks back on the life and ministry of Pastor Russ G. Young, the faithful shepherd who shaped his family, church, and calling. From a hungry youth group that exploded from ~15 teens to hundreds, to a church built—literally and spiritually—on the Word, Pastor Young modeled uncompromising preaching, Spirit-dependence, and love for souls. Bobby recounts personal moments (including sharing gratitude at Pastor Young's bedside) and connects the story to a call for total surrender and confidence that, in Christ, we are “more than conquerors.” The episode is part remembrance and part rallying cry for young believers to say “yes” to Jesus and watch God use their lives.Topics DiscussedPastor Russ Young's legacy in Maple Shade/Pennsauken, NJPreaching the Bible plainly and applying it to real teen issuesYouth ministry that was both fun and gospel-focused (“Bigger & Better,” outreach, soulwinning)God's providence in redirecting callings (missionary aviation → pastor)The power of Spirit-anointed preaching and evangelismSurrender, obedience, and living as “more than conquerors” in ChristGratitude, grief, and hope in the face of deathKey TakeawaysFaithful, clear Bible preaching—without apology or compromise—shapes lives and churches.God often redirects good plans to His best; say “yes” to Jesus and trust His leading.Healthy youth ministry blends joyful activity with bold, gospel-centered proclamation.Legacy multiplies through people reached, discipled, and sent.In Christ, even grief is framed by victory: we are more than conquerors through His love.

So Paul is actually going to say, "For me to live is Christ and die is gain." I wonder if we actually believe that. If we understand that. If we did, would we have the courage to put our faith on the line as we know Charlie Kirk, fellow believer and young man that shared Jesus with college students did? I mean, to question if we think this passage was written to you as well as others, like Charlie, who put it all on the line. Maybe this national tragedy will spark a flame that will ignite believers to live out their faith in new ways. What would that look like? This passage speaks of living in light of an eternal perspective. Our aim is not life preservation, but embodying the fullness of actually living for Jesus with every breath you have. And to die is gain? You can know Christ and not live for Him. To live for Christ… that takes courage, community and a cross. I will be speaking to each of these components as they describe truly living.

In a world filled with distractions and self-centered pursuits, how do we ensure our lives reflect the purpose for which Christ came?

The conversation emphasizes the importance of living for Christ, finding joy in adversity, and the legacy we leave behind.

Pastor Jeff Dail

This is message 28 in The Power of God's Name Acts 15:26 True devotion to Jesus means valuing His name above life itself. From the apostles who risked everything, to Paul who was ready to die, to Stephen and countless others who faced death with joy, the testimony is clear. The name of Jesus is worth every sacrifice. Across history, faithful believers have proven that following Him is not about safety or ease but about surrender. Their lives call us to the same unwavering commitment, showing that nothing compares to the glory of living and dying for Christ.

Pastor Ray Bentley has insight on inner and outer beauty. Any one of my sisters who will now spend time and attention and focus upon adorning that inner beauty of the gentle and quiet spirit will be beautiful, regardless of what your frame may seem to appear, it will compliment. It will draw people in. You'll all be beauties. Spread. You see all of these people coming down before the King.

Pastor Ray Bentley comments on Peter's admonition about the believer's outward appearance. Peter is not saying that any outward adornment is bad, but it is okay for a man to look and address. Well, it is good and all right for a woman to dress and want to be attractive and take care of her hair and you know where there is a line where the only object is only totally to focus on the outward spread?
