What do you tell yourself you need? What do you tell yourself the world needs? In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul preaches on the story of Jesus healing the paralytic, and how it's easy for us to place our priorities on things that are significant, but not essential for life.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

A prophetic word is released and you will learn what is necessary to be an anointed vessel of God!

Once again, host Robin Linkhart leads a meditation session encouraging listeners to connect with the divine amidst life's challenges. This session emphasizes the importance of noticing subtle signs of wisdom and meaning, as exemplified by the Magi's journey to find a sacred light in a humble setting. Here, you'll be invited to reflect on your own "star," the guiding force in your life, and to trust curiosity and movement rather than certainty.  Listen to more episodes in the Awaken to God's Presence series. Download the Transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

In this episode of Youth Ministry Unscripted, Josh, Isaiah, Danny, and new co-host Becca focus on a crucial season in student discipleship: senior year. They unpack why senior year is such a unique window for ministry. The hosts discuss helping seniors see the church as more than youth group, preparing them to find a gospel-centered church in college, and giving them categories for God's will, vocation, and faithful involvement in the local church. While there are a lot of potential pitfalls in post-highschool life, there are a lot of great opportunities for students to grow in their faith, and thrive in their walk with Christ in their new season. Making Youth Group ‘Senior Night' More Than Once Each Year - Rooted MinistryThe Summer Before College: A Graduating Senior Gameplan - Rooted Ministry Follow @therootedministry on Instagram for more updates!Follow and subscribe to Youth Ministry Unscripted wherever you listen to podcasts.

“God didn't call me in spite of who I am but because of who I am … and that's true of all of us.” — Rev. Dr. Kate Coleman Listen in on our fall book club interview as Women Scholars and Professionals book club host Jasmine Obeyesekere conducts an online discussion with author and Christian leader Rev. Dr. Kate Coleman where they talk about internal challenges for women leaders as we pursue our callings. In this finale of our Fall Book Club, we engage in conversation with Rev. Dr. Kate Coleman about her book 7 Deadly Sins of Women in Leadership: Overcome Self-Defeating Behaviour in Work and Ministry. You'll enjoy this rich conversation even if you weren't able to participate in the book club! Kate Coleman examines internal attitudes and habits that sabotage women's leadership. In a landscape that has some understanding on external forces that undercut women's leadership, Kate's contribution is unique since she addresses barriers within women that negatively impact how women lead. She describes seven common ways that women undermine their own leadership, sometimes unknowingly. Kate's combination of theology, research, anecdotes, personal insights and practical tips will help women overcome unhealthy mindsets and lead well. Kate sees work as sacred and our platforms as pulpits, her book will help us lead from our rootedness in Christ. So jump right in! We're so glad you're here. — Jasmine Obeyesekere For show notes or more information please visit our article at The Well.

In this episode of the Christian Life and Leadership Podcast, Tim Price discusses the significance of the phrase 'always remember' as it relates to everyday faith. He emphasizes the importance of remembering Jesus Christ, particularly His resurrection, as a central tenet of Christian belief. -- Remembering Jesus is central to our faith.-- Active input is required to remember effectively.-- Grace is free and undeserved, given by God.-- Jesus' resurrection is a foundational piece of our faith.-- Daily life should reflect our remembrance of Christ.-- We can trust that God is at work in our lives.-- Remembering requires intentionality and reminders.-- Our ambition should be tempered by our faith.-- Engagement in ministry is a part of remembering Jesus.#Christian Life, #Leadership, #Remembering Jesus, #Faith, #Resurrection, #Podcast, #Spiritual Growth, #Ministry, #Devotion, #Churchharvestministryteams.comtimpriceblog.com

At the beginning of every year, we focus on growth—and this message launches our Born to Build series by returning to one of the most essential foundations of the Christian life: the ministry of the Holy Spirit.From Jude 20, Acts 1–2, and the words of Jesus Himself, this teaching brings clarity to what it means to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and why praying in the Spirit is vital for every believer. The early church didn't try to build on willpower, intellect, or tradition—they built themselves up by receiving the Holy Spirit and praying in other tongues.This message challenges common misunderstandings about the Holy Spirit and reminds us that He is not optional, secondary, or symbolic. He is God—alive, present, and actively empowering believers today. Praying in the Spirit strengthens your inner life, sharpens spiritual awareness, and releases God's will in ways the natural mind cannot.If you desire deeper faith, greater clarity, and real spiritual power to live out what God has called you to do, this message sets the foundation. There is more—and God invites every believer to receive it. Support the show

What if a single, easily overlooked detail in Scripture—like silent dogs in the night—was meant to give you unshakable confidence in God's care for you?Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In this episode, Paul opens Exodus 11 to show how God's absolute sovereignty in the final plague reveals his ability to faithfully keep every one of his redeemed people.To hear more of these studies from Exodus, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.

Most people want to build something great, but very few understand how great things are actually built. In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Garrett and Nick break down the principles behind building organizations, businesses, ministries, and movements that last using real examples from Mighty Men, business leadership, and Scripture. You'll learn why purpose must come before strategy, and why the most powerful organizations are not built around protecting a “castle,” but around slaying a dragon—solving a real problem that benefits others beyond yourself. Garrett explains how purpose must be clearly defined, nearly unattainable, non-conditional, and bigger than the builder if it's going to attract the right people and sustain momentum over time. The conversation then moves into prototype, teams, systems, and scale. They pull from Biblical templates to show why you must start small, get the fundamentals right, and focus on real change instead of hype or numbers. From discipleship to business, this episode lays out a practical, repeatable framework for anyone who wants to build something meaningful, resilient, and God-honoring. If you're serious about building something that outlives you, this episode gives you the blueprint.Apply for the Mindset Mastery Scholarship by January 6thJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereIf you're a man that wants real accountability and training to be a leader, click here.Level up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Tell us what you think about this podcast!The Ministry of Reconciliation teaches that living for God and striving to live sin-free actively destroys sin's power in our lives, as outlined in Hebrews 10:1–18. God is serious about sin, and a disregard for His law affects our relationship with Him. Church exists for reconciliation, helping people be made right with God. Verses 16–17 describe the New Birth experience, where God writes His laws on our hearts, and verse 18 shows that Christ's sacrifice removed the need for continual reconciliation for sin.For more lessons and sermons, follow our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@GBT

As we enter a new year, this message confronts the lie that Jesus is not enough and calls us back to simple, wholehearted devotion to Him. In the book of Colossians, we're reminded that all wisdom, power, and life are found fully in Christ alone—without addition or striving. Salt Church in Wilmington, NC, led by Pastors Parker & Jessi Green, exists to know Jesus, worship Him, and do the works He did.Plan Your Visit to SALT Church:https://www.saltchurches.com/Ways to Support the Ministry:https://www.saltchurches.com/givingSubscribe:https://www.instagram.com/saltchurches/Subscribe @saltchurchNC Connect with Parker + Jessi Green:Instagram Parker / https://www.instagram.com/parkerrichardgreen/Instagram Jessi /https://www.instagram.com/jessi.green/Websites https://www.saltchurches.com/https://www.jessi-green.com/https://www.saturateglobal.com/#prayer #bible #biblestudy #saltchurch #revival #parkergreen #jessigreen

In Matthew 6, is Jesus talking about "healthy" and "unhealthy" eyes, as translations sometimes have it (e.g., NIV, ESV, NLT), or is the Greek expression an idiom that Jewish listeners would have readily understood in another way? Dr. Brad H. Young is Emeritus Professor in Judaic Christian Studies with an emphasis in Biblical Literature at Oral Roberts University Graduate School of Theology and Ministry, and Professor at Jerusalem Seminary. Among other things, he has published Jesus the Jewish Theologian and The Parables: Jewish Tradition and Christian Interpretation.

In taking on human flesh, Jesus embodied both the message and mission of God. And when it comes to our mission as a Church, the same is true. Just as Jesus chose presence with and for others, we, too, are called to the ministry of presence right where we are. (John 1:1-18)

Have you ever wondered why God chose to take on human form? God became man to destroy the works of the devil and restore the authority that was lost through Adam's sin. By entering our humanity, Jesus—100% God and 100% man—reclaimed the dominion mankind had surrendered to Satan. Authority in earth was originally given to humanity, but Adam yielded that authority through sin. This is why Jesus had to be fully God and fully man: as God, His life held infinite value to ransom all creation; as man, He was able to repossess the authority Adam lost.Through salvation, believers now have authority and power by the Holy Spirit to live godly lives and continue Christ's work on the earth. This mystery was hidden from Satan. Had he known that crucifying Jesus would result in millions of Spirit-filled believers destroying his works worldwide, he never would have done it.In Part Two of "Godliness," Duane Sheriff unveils God's divine plan of salvation by unpacking the six declarations of 1 Timothy 3:16. Every time we declare, “Jesus is alive,” we proclaim our own freedom, righteousness, and forgiveness.

If we're living life our own way, we are dying inside. But Jesus has done everything to make His resurrection life real in us. In this message from John 11, Pastor Philip Miller shows how Lazarus' story anticipates and foreshadows Jesus' own resurrection. Jesus is the key to life, not just here and now, but in all of eternity. This month's special offer is available for a donation of any amount.

In the beginning was the Word ... and the Word was God.  He was most definitely not a book. The book didn't come until much later!  We all know that words have the power to lift up and to tear down. Jesus was fully human and fully divine, but we are only human. We are not the Word, and yet our words hold power too. Listen in as Karin and Blake talk about the importance of making your words a light in the darkness.

I share a deeply personal story of how I am overcoming the struggles of life. It is part of my Philosophy of Life, or maybe a theological perspective. I share my struggles with the death dying and beyond and hinted at how God has brought me full circle with the passing of my parents. It is not an interview but a monologue where I present a reflection on my life and looking ahead to the future.I hope this may inspire someone as you live you life and follow your path.Much more is left untold and I have skipped a lot of details but in the passing of time more will be revealed.

Being a shepherd, or pastor, is far more than a job title—it's a divine calling that compels someone to care for God's people. This calling requires genuine character traits including being above reproach, self-controlled, hospitable, and able to manage one's own household well. The work involves protecting the flock from spiritual dangers, providing spiritual nourishment through Scripture, and making difficult decisions for the congregation's wellbeing. Ministry affects the entire family, not just the individual called. While not everyone is called to pastoral ministry, all believers can lead with shepherd-like character in their workplaces and communities, focusing on loving Jesus and loving others above personal advancement.

Lead Pastor Kurt Owens and Executive Pastor Zac Reuter give a recap of 2025 and then look ahead to our church's goals for 2026, with a faith-filled dream of seeing our congregation engaging in relational disciple-making within our unique spheres of influence. The service concludes with congregants' questions about specific church needs and intentions for the new year.

Revive your passion for sharing Christ with others.

When was the last time you got angry? Why did you get angry? Who were you angry with? What was the fruit of that anger?We experience anger every day, but not all anger is wrong—and not all anger should be resisted. In this Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby Abbott begin an extended conversation on the blessings and dangers of anger.Anger, while not listed as a fruit of the Spirit, can be a righteous, God-honoring response. Our God is filled with holy anger, and as his image-bearers, we are called to reflect his character.That means we have the capacity for godly anger, and there are real blessings that can come with it. But sin has corrupted our hearts, giving us an equally real capacity to twist something good into something destructive. What begins as righteous anger can quickly become selfish and harmful.The Bible is shockingly honest about anger, and Paul and Shelby are here to connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to our everyday lives as they explore both the blessings and the dangers of anger.
