In this episode of Student of Life, I'm processing something I believe the Lord has been pressing on my heart: returning to our first love. It's easy to become agenda-driven with Jesus—always needing something, always rushing, always turning faith into tasks. Using Mary and Martha (Luke 10) and Jesus' warning to the church in Ephesus (Revelation 2), we talk about what it looks like to slow down—not to be lazy, but to do the deepest work: being present with Jesus. I love the local church and I'm grateful for vision and ministry, but I also want to hold the tension of not letting “doing for God” replace being with God.Student of Life Guide:Key IdeaReturning to our first love isn't about doing less—it's about loving Jesus more deeply, without an agenda.Reflection QuestionsWhen do I spend time with Jesus just to be with Him?Where has ministry or responsibility crowded out attentiveness?What would slowing down with Jesus look like this week?PracticeSet aside 10–15 minutes this week with no requests.No agenda.Just Scripture, silence, and presence.Anchor Thought“Presence with Jesus isn't a detour from the work—it's the foundation of it.”
In this special year-end episode, Pastor Karl and the Flipside Church staff share their personal “Five Good Minutes” reflections on what God taught them throughout 2025. Tricia Cheshier speaks on trusting God and saying yes, overcoming fear to step into full-time children's ministry and watching her entire family grow bolder in faith. Michael Rondon reflects on a year of change, learning to be available and say yes upfront—discovering how one reluctant yes to coaching soccer became an answer to a former student's family's prayers. Alli Stemple shares about choosing joy amid uncertainty and witnessing God's providential will as closed doors led to unexpected open ones. Jeff Stemple unpacks the importance of understanding God's assignment, realizing that divine favor rests on the task God gives rather than on the person. Heather Botwright vulnerably recounts a difficult year of family health crises, yet celebrates God's faithful presence through His people and the strengthening of family bonds.Pastor Karl closes with his own lessons: returning to the bedrock of Scripture, leaning into God's sovereignty and providence, and remembering that Jesus builds His church. The common thread running through every story—saying yes to God, trusting His plan, choosing joy, and faithfully doing the job He assigns—leaves listeners challenged to reflect on 2025 and step boldly into 2026.A heartfelt, honest look at real faith lived out in real life.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Pastor Maureen preaches on Love for the fourth week of our Advent series, "Jesus Changes Everything: Advent."
After Peter's greatest failure, Jesus didn't ask for an explanation.He asked a question. In Week 6 of our Follower series, Pastor CJ Ward teaches through John 21 and the powerful moment where Jesus restores Peter after his denial. Around a charcoal fire — the same setting where Peter once failed — Jesus invites Peter into grace, restoration, and renewed purpose. This message explores: Why we can't earn our way into a relationship with God How guilt and pride distort our view of grace Why love is a response, not a requirement How Jesus restores us without minimizing our failure Why following Jesus starts with staying connected, not performing Scripture: John 21:1–19 If you've ever wondered whether your mistakes disqualify you from following Jesus, this message is for you. No matter how far you think you've gone, you are never too far gone for grace. The question that determines everything isn't “Are you good enough?”It's “Do you love Jesus?” #FollowerSeries #DoYouLoveJesus #Grace #Peter #Restoration #Faith #NewLifeGillette Chapters (00:00:00) - Jesus Meets Me Halfway(00:06:47) - God's Love For Real People(00:09:13) - Peter the Disbeliever(00:13:57) - The Memory of Jesus(00:18:58) - Jesus on Feeling Guilty About Doing Things(00:24:26) - How to Yoke Yourself to God(00:28:57) - Jesus died for the worst sin(00:31:12) - God's Love for You

Revival Mom | Grow Deeper with God, Encourage children in the Lord, Christian Home
Hey Revival Moms! I'm so excited to share this powerful conversation with you. Today I'm sitting down with Devin Schubert - an internationally acclaimed coach, speaker, bestselling author, and entrepreneur who's appeared on TWO reality TV shows. But what really drew me to have him on the show is his incredible heart for influence - especially in the home. In this episode, we dive deep into: Devin's adoption journey and the heartbreaking decision to trust God with his children How love prevails even through divorce, custody battles, and an 18-month separation The difference between controlling our children and stewarding them Maintaining influence through healthy communication and humility Why revival in our homes starts with love and open communication The most powerful moment: When Devin's son, after four years in treatment, told counselors "I wouldn't be here today if my dad didn't love me." I literally had to pause and take that in. This conversation reminded me that parenting isn't about control - it's about influence. And that influence comes through consistent love, showing up even when it's hard, and healthy communication with our kids. If you're struggling with a difficult season in parenting, feeling like your love isn't enough, or wondering how to have more influence in your children's lives - this episode is for you.

In this message, Pastor Justin shares the heart behind our mission and vision at WoodsEdge. We long to see Houston become a city of God—a place transformed by revival. But vision alone isn't enough. Justin unpacks how Jesus calls us to Love God and Love People and how that becomes our daily mission to Love Jesus, Journey Together, and Bring Hope to the world around us.
Do you know Jesus' love languages? Just like anyone else, we can't just love Jesus however we feel like, we need to know and to learn and to come to discover what pleases Him! The apostles learned by closely living with Jesus what it looked like to love Him and be a part of His community. And if we learn from them how they taught the earliest Christians to love Jesus, we can then discover what it looks like to love Him together today!

Love People?”, we explore Jesus' powerful lesson on mercy over tradition, drawn from Matthew 12 and Mark 2. When the Pharisees condemned His disciples for eating grain on the Sabbath, Jesus reminded them that God desires mercy, not sacrifice. This message calls us to examine our own hearts: Do we love people, or are we trapped in judgment and religion? Through Scripture, we uncover how the Holy Spirit transforms our minds, fills our hearts with compassion, and helps us bear good fruit—not through performance, but through love.
David Mathis | At the end of his Gospel, John gives us a grand finale of the mercy, wisdom, greatness, and never-ending glory of Jesus Christ.
Jack hates school. The lectures on algebra, grammar, and the periodic table bore him. But he loves building houses. His father takes him to work in the summer, and Jack can’t get enough. He’s only sixteen but he knows about cement, shingles, and how to frame a wall. What’s the difference between school and construction? Love. Jack loves one and not the other. His love fuels knowledge. As believers in Jesus, we’re to “love the truth” (2 Thessalonians 2:10). Paul says a satanic figure will use “signs and wonders” (v. 9) to deceive “those who are perishing” (v. 10). Why are they perishing? “They refused to love the truth and so be saved” (v. 10). Their failure to love the truth blinds them from knowing it. They’ll be duped (v. 11). What do we know? That important question depends on a more basic one: what do we love? Our passions incline our heart and direct our mind. We cherish what we love. We protect it and seek more of it. If we love truth and wisdom we’ll search for them as precious gold (Proverbs 4:7-9). They’ll guard us. “Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you” (4:6). What is true wisdom? Jesus says it’s Him. “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6). Our most important question is who do we love? Love Jesus and you’ll learn His way. He’ll guard your life by guiding you into His truth.
In a season of Stillness—but I'm still here. ❤️
