When God Changes Your Plans | Week 1: Will I Make Room For Jesus? // Ryland Walter // Does it ever seem like nothing is going according to plan? No one was expecting the first Christmas. Jesus was a change of plans for everyone. This Christmas, we'll look at the key questions we need to ask, when God changes our plans… Will I make room for Jesus? Will I still follow God when things don't make sense? Who was really in that manger? And, Will I trust God's timing in my life?

She avoids distractions like social media, leans on spiritual accountability, and invests in her health to sustain her calling. One of her most impactful ministry moments came in Uganda, where she confronted a violent demonic manifestation, prayed with authority in Jesus' name, and witnessed the woman delivered and filled with the Holy Ghost—an experience that confirmed her confidence in the power given to every believer.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text
How is the world feeling to you these days? How does Christmas fit into all of the headlines of the day? What about grief during a time when we are told we should be celebrating? Alex reminds us of why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. Jesus came BECAUSE OF the grief of the world. He surprised the world with his arrival and now we wait with expectation for his return. Whether you aren't sure how to celebrate when your neighbors are suffering, or you are the one facing difficult circumstances - this is your annual reminder that Jesus is the hope of the world and this is why we remember his arrival every year.

Make Room for the King Advent is not just a celebration of Christ's coming; it's a summons to go. The incarnation is the ultimate mission trip: Jesus, the Son of God, left the glory of heaven to bring light to a dark world. As his followers, we are sent to embody that same love, especially to the poor, the forgotten, and the brokenhearted. Christmas is a border-breaking movement of compassion. Our journey begins with readiness. in Mark 1:1-8, John the Baptist calls us to prepare our hearts, crossing the inner borders of sin and apathy so we can receive the King.
December is crowded—calendars, headlines, even our minds. Advent invites us to make room: for awe that slows us down, for faith that says “let it be,” for joy that grows in community, and for peace that meets us right where life is loud. In Luke’s opening chapters, ordinary people make space—and God fills it with presence. Join us as we practice simple, practical rhythms to make room for Jesus this Christmas.
For the first week of our advent sermon series, Ian Thornton takes us into the story of Mary, mother of Jesus, and her "Yes" to God. Her obedience even without fully understanding God's will shows us the beautiful way of fearing God and loving Him, expressed through trust. Our desire is to give the same prayer of Mary, "Lord, I am your servant. Let it be done unto me according to Your will."We make room for the King of Glory through obedience.Big House Church is cultivating a community of passionate worshippers who partner with Jesus to create a kingdom culture on earth as it is in heaven. We regularly meet on Sundays @ 9 & 11 AM at the Zeider Theater in Town Center Virginia Beach.Learn more at www.bighousechurch.com.
The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, a descendant of David, and the virgin's name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one, the Lord is with you!” – Luke 1 Advent hope is born when ordinary people make room, in the dark, for the king who has already stepped in.
This could be the year that your life gets D-DAY'D!
The first in a series of three in the lead up to Christmas. God sent Jesus to show us what He’s like, and to restore the relationship between humanity and Himself, which was broken as soon as we decided to go our own way. In the lead up to Christmas, and as we consider the Christmas story – let’s ask ourselves the honest question: is Jesus our deepest desire? As we give our lives to Him, are we allowing Him into every area, or have we restricted Him at all? What stops us from giving Him an ‘access all areas’ pass?

In this timeless lesson, Bob Proctor reveals one of the most powerful prosperity principles: the Vacuum Law of Prosperity. You cannot receive something new while clinging to the old. Proctor teaches that to attract abundance — whether money, love, or opportunity — you must first create space for it, physically and mentally. Let go, give freely, and watch nature rush to fill the vacuum with something far greater.JOIN QOD CLUB. Ready to stop growing alone? Join QOD Club and connect with people who actually get you.

David knew betrayal, fear, and injustice more than most. One day he was the nation's hero with songs written about him (1 Samuel 18:6–7 NLT). The next, Saul was hurling spears at him (1 Samuel 18:10–11 NLT). Soon David found himself hunted, hungry, and hiding in the wilderness (1 Samuel 21–22 NLT).Psalm 52 is David's response to one of the darkest betrayals of his life—the moment Doeg the Edomite informed Saul about David's visit to the priest Ahimelech (1 Samuel 21:7 NLT). That single moment set off a horrific chain reaction. Saul, spiraling in jealousy and paranoia, ordered Doeg to slaughter the priests of the Lord (1 Samuel 22:9–10, 17–18 NLT). David was devastated. His choices weren't perfect, but the injustice was real and brutal.But instead of letting bitterness rot his soul, David wrote Psalm 52—nine verses that show how to keep a clean heart even when you've been done dirty. If you've ever been betrayed, slandered, ghosted, passed over, lied about, or wounded by someone close, Psalm 52 speaks directly to you.This short psalm gives us five steps for guarding your heart when life cuts deep.1) Take Your Pain to GodDavid begins by naming the wrong and naming the offender. “Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor… you love evil more than good” (Psalm 52:1–4 NLT). This isn't gossip—it's biblical lament. It's honesty aimed heavenward. Before David tells people what happened, he tells God.Psalm 62:8 (NLT) says, “Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.”If we don't take our pain to God, our pain will take us. Lament turns our emotional chaos into prayer instead of bitterness. Trade passive-aggressive posts for honest conversation with your Father.2) Make Room for God's JusticeDoeg's betrayal and Saul's massacre were horrific. Yet David doesn't seek revenge. He entrusts justice to God: “But God will strike you down…” (Psalm 52:5–7 NLT).Scripture is clear:“Never take revenge… ‘I will pay them back,' says the Lord.” Romans 12:19 NLT.Vengeance chains you to the very thing God wants to free you from. Instead, Scripture calls us to bless when insulted (1 Peter 3:9 NLT) and overcome evil with good (Romans 12:20–21 NLT).Letting God judge doesn't mean ignoring boundaries. Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) calls us to guard our hearts with wisdom—but without bitterness.3) Own Your PartDavid wasn't blameless in the Nob incident. He lied to the priest (1 Samuel 21:2 NLT). That didn't excuse Saul or Doeg, but it meant David had to face his own heart: “But as for me...” (Psalm 52:8 NLT).Being wronged doesn't automatically make us right. Jesus teaches us to go...
Have you ever felt God calling you to be part of something bigger than yourself? In Nehemiah's powerful story of rebuilding Jerusalem's walls, Pastor Blake reveals that Christwalk's Make Room project isn't just about expanding buildings—it's about building people. Through personal confession and biblical insight, he shows how each person has a vital role in God's restoration work, just as ancient Israelites rebuilt section by section. Whether through prayer, service, or giving, this message inspires us to move beyond merely attending church to truly being the church. Watch now to discover how you can join this transformative vision of making room for more people to encounter Jesus.

Hey friend — the holiday season is almost here! And before the pace picks up, I want to pause with you and look at the heart of how we enter it. Because the season can be full of joy… or full of overwhelm. And a lot of that comes down to how we prepare our space, our schedule, and our spirit before the celebrations begin. So I want to ask you something: What would it mean if this year didn't feel rushed? If your home felt peaceful to walk into… If your days had breathing room… If joy didn't feel like something you had to chase — but something that was already present? This episode is the first in a gentle, practical mini-series to help you create margin for the season ahead — not by doing more, but by clearing space to receive the joy that's already yours in Christ. This is about preparing the atmosphere — inside your home and inside your heart. Mentioned in this episode: Episode 138
This was a debut crossword by Patrick Hayden, and a very nice one, to boot. The theme was sly, and the author has a knack for writing novel clues for common answers. We covered many of them in the podcast, but we admired many more. For instance, we had 58A, What you eat, DIET; 52D, Metaphor for a bad goalie, SIEVE (awesome!); and 61D, Start of a bray, HEE (hee, hee). Also, we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the presence of both 38A, Wood-cutting tool, ADZ, and 63D, Highlights of the Super Bowl, for some, ADS.

In this second half of my 100th episode conversation with my friend and poet Megan Leonard, we talk about what happens when we finally start letting go of what's not working.We call it The Colander List — a way of noticing what's naturally slipping through, what's too heavy to hold, and what we might finally have permission to set down.This conversation isn't about getting more efficient or organized. It's about capacity, trust, and the space we create when we stop trying to do it all.Meg and I talk about:

In this episode of Your Week with St. Luke's, Pastor Jenn and Liz sit down with Dr. Ryan Bonfiglio to explore the radical power of hospitality—how scripture calls us to welcome not just friends, but strangers and even God in unexpected forms. Together they unpack what it means to “make room” in our homes, our churches, and our lives when true hospitality disrupts our comfort zones. It's a conversation that challenges the easy version of welcome and invites us into the deeper, more transformative kind—the kind that changes both guest and host.

Pastor Mike & Dr Jeffrey join Something For Everybody this week. Dr. Mike Hayes and Dr. Jeffrey Garner guide individuals toward rediscovering joy and spiritual clarity. With a mission to help people take control of their lives, they emphasize the importance of redirecting one's “happiness radar” inward. Make Room is their transformative process, which involves reconnecting with core values and building authentic connections with God, oneself, and the world. In this conversation we explore the nature of happiness, its misconceptions, and the role of gratitude and spirituality in achieving it. We share personal stories of hardship and resilience, emphasizing the importance of community, mentorship, and the internal journey towards happiness. The discussion also touches on the impact of societal pressures and the need for genuine connections in a technology-driven world. - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF
