C. S. Lewis famously wrote that we cannot remain neutral about Jesus: He was either a lunatic—on the level of a man who claims to be a poached egg—or He is the Son of God.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul teaches through the entire third chapter of Mark and the six vignettes that reveal the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

One of the most important and powerful responsibilities of parents is to bless their children and not curse them. In episode eight of “Raising Godly Warriors,” Duane Sheriff teaches that nothing shapes a child's future more than understanding and receiving the Lord's blessing. Proverbs 10:22 explains that God's blessing is more than material prosperity—it is His favor, grace, affirmation, and unconditional love.Blessing is transferred to children through intentional words, loving touch, and genuine forgiveness. From God's public affirmation of Jesus in Matthew 3 to the priestly blessing in Numbers 6 and Jesus blessing children in Mark 10, Scripture reveals a clear pattern: blessings are spoken, modeled, and imparted. When parents choose to speak life, release forgiveness, and affirm their children's God-given identity, they don't just impact a single generation—they shape a legacy of faith, favor, and strength that will echo for years to come.

Send us a textYou've had insight before. The clarity, conviction, and even real momentum. And yet, somehow, it didn't last.If you've ever wondered why meaningful change feels so hard to sustain, this episode is for you.In this conversation, Amy explores why insight alone—no matter how true or powerful—rarely leads to lasting transformation. Not because you failed, but because insight was never meant to carry the full weight of change on its own.This episode gently reframes skepticism as wisdom-in-the-making and invites you to consider a different path forward & one rooted in formation rather than intensity.You'll explore:Why insight often sparks change but can't sustain itHow intensity-based growth struggles to survive real lifeWhy seasons of disappointment don't mean you're resistantThe difference between performance-driven change and formation that lastsWhat it means to stay with your story long enough for wisdom to take rootThis isn't a call to try harder or hope faster. It's an invitation to slow down, notice patterns, and consider what kind of change can actually be carried over time.If you've been protecting yourself from false hope (or wondering why past breakthroughs faded), this episode offers language, clarity, and a steadier way forward.Not through reinvention. Through spiritual formation.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Book a High-Value Clarity Call with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

What do you do when you're in “flood season”, when life feels fast, heavy, and uncertain?In this conversation, Pastor Chris Kouba and Josh Thomas dig into Joshua 4 and the powerful moment when God tells Israel to build memorials after crossing the Jordan River—one on the riverbank and one set in the river. Why two? Because we forget. And when we forget where we've been, we lose confidence about where we're going.They talk about practical ways to remember and recount God's faithfulness like journaling, physical reminders, and intentionally telling the “God stories” to your kids, your wife, your friends, and the people you lead. If you're in the middle of something right now, this one is for you: God is faithful at the finish line and He's faithful in the middle too!To find out more about Pastor Chris, follow him on all the social platforms (@ckouba) and to connect with the ministry of United City visit https://unitedcity.church.Show NotesFollow on Instagram: @stepup.podcastFollow United City: @untdcitychurchConnect with Pastor Chris: http://chriskouba.comMore About United City: https://unitedcity.church/

Striking the right balance between disciplining our children and following the biblical command not to provoke them to anger can be a challenge. In episode seven of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff identifies ten practical ways to avoid provoking our children to anger—by being consistent, attentive, fair, and gentle, and by steering clear of neglect, harshness, humiliation, favoritism, and unreasonable discipline.These principles reflect God's character and the authority He gives to parents—not to tear children down, but to build them up. The Bible provides a clear plan, showing that parents have about twenty years to guide their children through three stages: training (ages 0–10, focused on obedience), teaching (ages 10–20, focused on honor), and transition (around age 20, when children move from parental authority to God's). God's heart for parenting is rooted in love—raising children who are Godly Warriors, equipped to fulfill their God-given destiny.

Kristen Welch is an author, speaker, and the founder of Mercy House Global, but her story is shaped less by achievement and more by surrender. Raised in a generous, Christian home, Kristen followed God's lead into ministry, writing, and motherhood. Her love for writing led her into the early Christian mom-blogging world where she found community and influence, but it was a 2010 blogging trip to Kenya with Compassion International that unsettled her faith and reordered her calling. That encounter became the catalyst for Mercy House Global and for a lifelong journey of learning what it means to say yes to God with open hands.   Through Mercy House, Kristen has spent the past fifteen years walking alongside vulnerable women and families through job creation, orphan prevention, and discipleship, both globally and locally. Along the way, she has learned that generosity and ministry busyness without intimacy with God can quietly hollow out the soul. Her story reflects the cost of faithful work, the danger of doing for God without being with Him, and the grace God offers through rest, repentance, and renewed friendship with Him.   This conversation invites all of us to reflect on how God calls us to slow down, reorient our hearts, and rediscover satisfaction in His presence while living generously.   Major Topics Include: Generosity in hospitality Obedience through small, faithful yeses Using influence for Kingdom purpose Serving without losing intimacy with God The danger of doing for God without being with God Identity rooted in sonship, not productivity Parenting through embodied generosity Slowing down to practice God's presence QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Just do the next right thing.” “We were always looking for ways to use what we had for the gospel of hospitality.” “The opportunity to use the writing skill and the blog platform for God's glory really became a sweet spot for me and it changed my life.” “I will spend the rest of my life answering the question, ‘what am I doing to help the vulnerable in our communities and in our world?'” “God used the poor to help me find Him in a new way.” “God doesn't need us to do any of this, He invites us to do it.” “Being with God is the best use of our time.” “It is not a waste of time to spend time with God.” “When we live as generous people, our kids will too.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Mercy House Global Kristen Welch's Website Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World by Kristen Welch Raising World Changers in a Changing World by Kristen Welch Compassion International When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Women Doing Well (see our interview with president Julie Wilson) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Revelation 3:20 | Christ's Invitation to Intimacy   Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

On this episode of The Lead On Podcast, Jeff Iorg, president of the SBC Executive Committee, follows up on why ministry is so challenging by laying out four big-picture practices for staying healthy under pressure. He urges leaders to see ministry as real work done among sinful but redeemable people, to refuse cynicism, to respond to rising demands with more Bible, prayer, and rest as they persevere in difficult seasons.

God's Word is not just a book—it is living, powerful truth meant to be rightly understood, rightly divided, and approached with a heart that genuinely seeks God. In this message, “God's Word Is...,” Duane Sheriff teaches foundational truths about how to read the Bible, interpret Scripture in context, and why understanding covenants, divisions, and the centrality of Jesus is essential to spiritual growth. The central thread running through every page is Jesus Christ—the story of humanity's fall, our utter hopelessness without God, and the divine intervention that saves us. When we approach Scripture with reverence and a pure heart, something supernatural happens. The Word becomes more than information - it becomes transformation. It sanctifies us, cleanses our minds like a spiritual washing, and separates us from the darkness of this world. We discover that every sacrifice, every temple ritual, every prophecy was pointing to Jesus. When we understand that God's Word is truth, seed, food, and covenant all at once, we unlock a power that can literally rewire our thinking and redirect our lives.

With less than 24 hours left to live, Jesus pours out His heart to His followers. Though departing, He promised a dwelling place where we might live with the triune God forever. In this message from John 14, Pastor Philip Miller reveals Jesus' four lasting gifts: a loving home, a loving path, a loving God, and loving power. How do these gifts change our vision of life today?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260125dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Matthew 4:23 Jesus’ Ministry Preaching, teaching, and healing. Those three actions pretty much summarize Jesus’ earthly ministry. He touched a lot of lives during those thirty-plus years. But he’s touched a lot more lives since, like mine. He’s touched my life in ways beyond counting. He’s forgiven my sins. And there are plenty to pardon! He’s given me the peace of knowing that I’m loved by the Father despite myself. He's reconciled the two of us . . . put us back into a right relationship again. He gives me a fresh perspective and a whole new set of “eyes” with which to see others, the circumstances of my day-to-day life, and the problems I inevitably face as I go about my business. He put a song in my heart and a spring in my step because he has convinced me, by his Spirit, that no matter what happens, he’ll walk beside me, guiding and protecting me and working all things out for my ultimate good (Romans 8:28). Nothing in all creation can separate me from his love (Romans 8:39). It’s encouraging to begin each day knowing that because of Jesus and what he’s done for me, and continues to do for me, I’ll be more than just okay: I’ll be blessed beyond belief! Prayer: Dear Jesus, I thank and praise you for all the blessings with which you enrich my life. Teach me to dedicate my life to you in gratitude for all you give to me. Amen.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Steve Robinson, pastor, leadership practitioner, and author of the upcoming book Soul Leadership. Together, we dive deep into the vital connection between leadership, trauma, and healing, exploring how leaders can move from burnout and brokenness to wholeness and real impact. Steve opens up about his personal journey, sharing honestly about years of compounding trauma—including the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the intense pressures of leading a growing church. These experiences led him to the edge of burnout, and ultimately to a powerful path of healing and discovery. Drawing from research, theology, therapy, neuroscience, and his own life, Steve reveals why caring for a leader's soul is so central to personal and organizational success. Throughout our conversation, several key themes emerge: the difference between simple exhaustion and deeper trauma, the science behind how stress and adversity affect the brain, the critical role faith and community play in emotional healing, and how adversity can become the catalyst for wisdom, empathy, and post-traumatic growth. Steve breaks down practical strategies for building resilience, the process of healing both brain and mind, and why true leadership starts with inner wholeness and connection. If you're a leader navigating challenges or want to support those around you, this episode is packed with encouragement and insight. Steve's story and research are a powerful reminder that your pain can become your purpose—and that transformation is possible when you lean into healing, connection, and the power of your soul. You'll walk away inspired and equipped to face setbacks and emerge even stronger.   About Steve, Steve Robinson is a pastor, speaker, and author and the founding pastor of Church of the King—a growing multisite church with campuses spread across the US and internationally. Under his leadership, Church of the King has launched new locations from South Louisiana to Cape Town, South Africa, and built a thriving online community that reaches people around the world with a message of hope and purpose. A graduate of Tulane University with a Doctor of Ministry from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, Steve is passionate about helping people grow in their faith, discover their God-given potential, and live with clarity and resilience. He serves on the board of Equip, a global leadership organization founded by John Maxwell, and is the author of several books, including Decide to Thrive, Perspective Shift, and Hope Again. With a passion for helping people grow and thrive, Pastor Steve is dedicated to guiding others in their faith and everyday life.

Do you discipline your children in love or anger? What if everything we've been told about loving our children has been backwards? In episode six of “Raising Godly Warriors,” Duane Sheriff teaches discipline from a biblical perspective. Disciplining children is not an act of hate but an expression of God's kind of love. Withholding discipline does not protect children—it leaves them unprepared for life's boundaries and consequences.Duane draws parallels between God's discipline of His children and a parent's responsibility to correct their own. Rooted in the wisdom of Proverbs, this teaching shows how proper correction—combined with reproof—drives foolishness from a child's heart, teaches early consequences, builds resistance to temptation, and cultivates humility. The way we discipline today may shape not only our children's future, but their eternal destiny.

This week in part 2 of our series we're calling "From Overwhelmed to Intentional," Kent and Lawson get super practical about communication with your kids, especially in the teen years.   You'll be challenged to consider why "Why won't they listen?" might be the wrong question, how your posture and timing matter more than your volume, and why listening is not weakness, it's leadership leverage. Lawson shares a real story from a weekend with his daughter in New York that reframed how he shows up in deeper conversations. Kent breaks down how to season hard conversations with grace (Colossians 4:6), ask questions that are not "gotchas," and trade control for influence so your kids learn to listen to God, not just comply with you.   If you want the kind of relationship where your kids, no matter the age, want to talk to you, this is a deposit worth making.   Want to shape the direction of the show this year?

What if the way our culture approaches dating is actually undermining our children's future? Recreational dating contradicts biblical principles and can lead to lasting emotional, spiritual, and relational harm. In episode five of "Raising Godly Warriors," Duane Sheriff identifies eight pitfalls of recreational dating, including the loss of parental covering, compromised sexual purity, emotional instability from repeated attachments and breakups, spiritual drift, deception, premature physical intimacy, and risks to future marital fulfillment.Parents are challenged to reconsider their role in guiding their children through one of life's most important decisions. Are we allowing cultural pressure to shape our parenting while warning our children not to do the same? This is not about control or fear, but wisdom, protection, and love. By presenting biblically grounded alternatives to recreational dating, this message calls parents to re-engage with purpose—helping guard their children's hearts, preserve their spiritual integrity, and prepare them for lifelong, godly relationships.

Whether through abuse, bullying, betrayal, or rejection, this kind of sin can embed itself in the soul and act as a barrier to healing.Ken explains how emotional wounds become “insulators” that block the flow of God's power, and why inner healing is often the missing link in physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Drawing from Scripture, psychology, and decades of ministry experience, Ken walks listeners through real-life examples, including a healing from a venereal disease after forgiveness, and deliverance from sexual addiction after being introduced to pornography by a parent.This is a raw, redemptive, and theologically rich conversation that opens a new window into how Jesus heals the brokenhearted.

Ini this episode, Brandon sits with his former pastor and longtime family friend, Pastor Stanley Long of the Baltimore Antioch Leadership Movement. Our conversation picks up after the great discussion with Dr. Krista Bontrager from The Center for Biblical Unity on Feminist Standpoit Theology and how pervasive it has become in modern churches hermeneutics. The question raised is rooted in whether or not we may be throwing a very important baby out with the bathwater in regard to the church's response to the toxic race-based conversations. Should ethnicity play a role in the way the scripture speak to us? Do we lose objective meaning when we acknowledge the diversity of Christ's bride? Join us for a fascinating observation as we look at how Stephen's sermon to his ethnic brethren holds some gems the church could be adorned with. Support the showHosts: Brandon and Daren Smith Learn of Brandon's Church Planting CallPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

Send us a textNew Year, New Episode.Welcome special guest Wyatt Pennington everybody! A new father, emerging and awesome youth ministry leader Wyatt walks us through a practical reframe: treat parents as partners, not an inbox. He details quarterly parent nights that include worship, teaching for adults, prayer, and a genuine response, plus simple series-based resources that turn “What did you learn?” into real conversations around the table. The result: families feel pastored, not processed—and students keep growing after Wednesday night ends.We also tackle the screen-shaped world teens inhabit. Instead of declaring tech the enemy, Wyatt models a wiser way: analog alarm clocks, physical Bibles that never ping, printed workbooks, and clear boundaries that make space for God. We unpack how algorithms disciple kids with precision and why embodied practices and honest witness can out-form what big tech outspends. Finally, we get granular on communication: preach shorter sermons with one sticky point, yup just one, and lead descriptively by sharing your actual habits and failures, and commit to loving Jesus when no one is watching.High Points• new dad lessons on sacrifice and joy• modeling boundaries students can see• calling story from midweek to camp• caught not taught approach to mentoring• rebalancing ministry toward parents• practical parent nights with response• screens, algorithms, and formation• analog habits that make space for God• descriptive leadership over prescriptions• why shorter sermons carry furtherSignups for the Youth Ministry Preaching Experience are live.

What does it look like to be fully present with people while juggling an energetic, growing ministry, family needs, and the endless demands of leadership? In this episode, Dave and Laura sit down with Pastor Phil Carnuccio, lead pastor of Providence Church in West Chester, PA, to explore what it means to be spiritually formed as a leader in ways that lead to healthy, fulfilling ministry without draining the life out of the leader. We discuss the tension between performing and being present, the pressure leaders carry to stay productive, the power of marriage as a channel of true leadership, and life-giving shifts that cultivate a more vibrant, sustainable, and joy-filled ministry and personal life. Drawing on three decades of ministry experience, Phil offers honest, passionate, and practical insight into what it looks like to minister as Jesus did.ServingLeaders MinistriesProvidence Church West Chester

From the frozen balconies of Rēzekne to the digital hallucinations of the Kremlin, the Russian Federation has become a "Republic of Fake."In this episode, I broadcast from Pilda—just 22km from the Russian border—to tear down the "digital wall" Putin has built. We expose the absurdity of a war where soldiers are forced to weld rusty pipes to Soviet vans while the Ministry of Defense spends billions on AI censorship tools. We analyze General Gerasimov's "Potemkin JPEGs"—fake maps of captured villages that exist only in PowerPoint to please the Czar.And most importantly, we look at the fridge.
