Welcome to Ask Paul Tripp, a weekly podcast from Paul Tripp Ministries where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp answers your questions, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.This week, Paul responds to a question from Sandy, who is reading Everyday Gospel and was troubled by Paul's statement that there would be no Jesus, no death and resurrection without Esther. While Paul clarifies the point in the next paragraph, Sandy wonders what happens if a reader stops early and misunderstands his intent.If you have a question you'd like to ask Paul, you can email ask@paultripp.com or submit it online at PaulTripp.com/AskPartner with Paul Tripp Ministries:PaulTripp.com/Give

In episode three of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff explores the two roles of the Holy Spirit, using metaphors of a well and a river to illustrate His ministries. In John 4, Jesus offers the Samaritan woman "living water," symbolizing a personal well of living water within believers that springs up to eternal life. This well represents salvation and a personal relationship with God.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/In John 7, Jesus promises something more for believers - a "river" of living water flowing out of them. Unlike a well that serves believers personally, a river has power and flows outward to bless others. This river represents the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a separate experience from salvation.A well meets spiritual needs, while a river empowers believers to minister to others. Every believer has the well, but God wants to provide a river too - His supernatural power flowing through them to touch the world around them.

What does it look like to stay faithful as a dad while navigating high-pressure work, culture, and calling? This week Kent and Lawson sit down with Disney legend turned Chosen creative executive Rick Dempsey for a conversation packed with wisdom, humor, and behind-the-scenes stories (yes… including a helicopter ride with Phil Collins). Rick shares how he viewed decades at Disney as a mission field, how localization taught him to connect more deeply with his kids, and why the "deposit vs withdrawal" principle Steve Jobs taught him might be the most important parenting idea you hear this year.   He opens up about choosing intentional fatherhood even with a global job and why your 60s and 70s might be your most influential decades for the Kingdom. If you've ever wrestled with time, calling, influence, or what legacy really looks like, this conversation will encourage and challenge you in all the right ways.   https://www.comeandseefoundation.org/   We've launched video now!

After a twenty-year career as a business leader, he embarked on biblical Fatherhood ministry projects. He's appeared on television, radio, web outlets and podcasts. He's spoken at parenting and men's events, and authored four books. The first, Wise Guys: Unlocking Hidden Wisdom from the Men Around You, was written to help men learn how to find mentors and wise counsel. The latest, Don't Bench Yourself: How to Stay in the Game Even When You Want to Quit, aims to help dads stay present in their roles as fathers and husbands even when they feel like giving up. Kent's life has been radically affected by godly mentors and his lovely wife, April. They have been married thirty years and have five sons and one daughter-in-law. He lives in Louisville, Kentucky. Lawson Brown is husband to his high school sweetheart, a father of two young adult daughters, has been a business leader since 1995, and is a former Marine. He served as a small group leader for teenage boys for many years, helped start the Christian media ministry City on a Hill Productions, then later Sanctuary – a new church in Kennesaw, GA – where he served as its leader for Men's Ministry. Lawson's journey of faith has always been centered in a grounding from his wife, Audrey, and supported throughout by many men whom he's found as brothers along the way. His family is nearing an empty nest phase and has recently relocated to the Florida Gulf Coast beaches area.

In today's Friday Focus episode, Malachi Herbster sits down with Evangelist David Corn to discuss avenues of gospel ministry. David Corn shares his burden for his own ministry on his website:1. My burden is to preach the gospel to unreached people and see them get saved! My heart is broken about people on their way to hell, and I want to spend my life leading as many people to Christ as possible! Romans 15:20 reads, “Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation.” The public schools are a special heartbeat of mine because so many young people do not know about Christ!2. My burden is to see people added to the church like in Acts 2. Acts 2:41 reads, “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Verse 47 reads, “Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” We pray that God uses us to see people join Bible-believing, fundamental, independent, local New Testament Baptist churches!3. My burden is to see believers become soul-winners. Matthew 28:18-20 is still in the Bible, reading, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” If believers are not trying to win souls, then they are out of God's will!4. My burden is to see believers learn to live the Spirit-filled life. I am still learning this myself, but what God has taught me so far is life-changing! We need to learn how to depend on Christ, grow in faith, and look to God to work in our lives! John 15:4 reads, “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”//*Burden taken from Evangelist David Corn's website

One of the most remarkable and recognizable characteristics of the family of God is the gift of faith that resides within us. This wondrous ability to believe creates an unbreakable bond—that binds us to God and to each other. For this reason, we are called “the household of faith” or as one translation puts it, “the family of believers.” No matter what comes our way in life, “this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 John 5:4)Ministry website: www.shreveministries.orgComparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Critical public health roles - including in emergency management, pandemic preparedness and Maori health - are on the chopping block at the Ministry of Health, with yet another restructuring under way before Christmas. The Public Service Association says the loss of skills and expertise will leave New Zealand vulnerable, as the risk from disease and natural disasters continues to ramp up. Consultation on the changes closes in just over a fortnight and any changes are expected to be in place by April. Ruth Hill reports.

Kmart is walking back some of its product recalls following an asbestos contamination scare with kids play sand products. The retail giant is cancelling it's voluntary recall notice for three products. Kmart has informed the Ministry of Business that testing comissioned by the company confirmed no asbestos was found. However, a recall is still in place for some other products. MBIE's Product Safety Spokesperson Ian Cpalin spoke to Lisa Owen.

This installment of TMTO reports on a 2025 mission trip to Kenya by the Qumran Family Foundation (QFF), focusing on supporting widows and orphans through literacy and empowerment programs. It details the ministry's work, challenges faced, accomplishments, and future plans. ·       Ministry focus on Kenyan widows and orphans: QFF aims to break the cycle of poverty by providing literacy education and business/job skills to widows and supporting orphans lacking basic subsistence and educational opportunities. Kenyan widows face social isolation, abuse, and financial struggles, compounded by cultural restrictions and lack of government support. ·       Biblical foundation for the mission: The ministry is grounded in Torah commandments to care for widows and orphans, citing multiple scriptural references emphasizing justice, provision, and honor toward these groups. ·       Trip logistics and locations: The mission trip was planned starting December 2024, with travel from August 24 to November 20, 2025. Activities took place in Nairobi, Migori, Kehancha, and Kisii. ·       Organizational milestones: QFF became a registered non-profit/NGO in Kenya with an official tax identification (KRA PIN) in August 2025, enabling legal operations. ·       Educational achievements: Forty-one widows graduated from the basic literacy course with a formal ceremony in September 2025. A new widows' school was opened in Kisii with 16-20 students, and the Kehancha school relocated to begin Phase 2 classes teaching business and job skills to graduates. ·       Ministry outreach and baptisms: The team delivered the Gospel to Kuria Family Care Messianic Assembly, supporting 25 fatherless children, and baptized eight individuals including the pastor in November 2025. ·       Staffing and facilities: QFF opened an office in Migori Town in November 2025, employing four teachers, an office manager, and an operations assistant to support ongoing programs. ·       Challenges faced: The ministry encountered political unrest, widespread corruption, and the strong presence of Islam in Kenya, alongside spiritual opposition, requiring reliance on faith and careful verification in operations. ·       Future needs and plans: QFF seeks funding for teachers, classrooms in Kisumu and Migori, a vehicle, support for Kuria Care orphans and widows, and ongoing operational costs. Planned 2026 goals include expanding literacy classes, graduating new classes, and continuing mission trips. Donations and support are encouraged via qumranfamilyfoundation.org.

Chestly planted a church and did everything the prevailing model taught him. He was miserable. Depressed. The church wasn't growing fast enough. Then a pastor he hadn't talked to in a decade sent him a Facebook message: "Your only job is to love my people." That changed everything. This episode wrestles with significance versus success. Stage speaking versus real relationships. Why digital community is as real as physical. How AI and social media are tools—like axes, useful or dangerous depending on whose hands they're in. You'll hear about Christian influencers reaching millions, shepherds guiding people in digital spaces, and why five-year plans don't work anymore. Technology doubles human knowledge every 16 to 18 months. Churches move slower. That's okay. Community never goes out of style. Focus there. Use whatever tools reduce friction. That's not digital ministry. That's just ministry in the digital age.

Chapter 4 of Heroes in the Bible: Jesus with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by the Gospels. This is My Son - The Beginning of Jesus' Ministry. This story is the beginning of Christ's ministry here on earth. This story begins with the heavens splitting open to showcase Jesus as the beloved son of God, and it ends with a battle of mind and emotions between Jesus and Satan. Today's opening prayer is inspired by Mark 1:15, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

In this special bonus episode of How to Study the Bible, author and podcaster Carol McLeod joins Nicole to talk about falling in love with Scripture, walking with the Holy Spirit, and staying faithful in every season. From early-morning verse memory at her kitchen table, to decades of quiet service before writing her twentieth book, Carol reminds us that small beginnings matter. “His presence is all the preparation you need.” She shares a striking insight from Mark 5/Luke 8—linking a 12-year illness and a 12-year-old girl—and offers a tender word for anyone hurting this Christmas: Jesus came to carry your griefs. "Christmas is especially for you if you’re hurting; Jesus came to carry your griefs.” What We Discuss: Model > mandate: Carol fell in love with Scripture because her dad lived it and invited her into his early-morning Bible time with intentional verse memory. Start small & be faithful: Ministry often begins with a handful of people—dorm devos, a living-room group—long before books and microphones. His presence prepares us: You can plan, but ultimately “His presence is all the preparation you need” when you teach or serve. A double 12: A fresh reading of Mark 5/Luke 8 (woman hemorrhaging 12 years; Jairus’ daughter aged 12) calls us to care for both women with wounds and the next generation of girls who need Jesus. Christmas is for the brokenhearted: Christ came not only to bear our sins but also to carry our griefs—especially good news for a hard holiday season. Bible Verse References (linked) Lamentations 3:22–23 — His mercies are new every morning. Mark 5:21–43 / Luke 8:40–56 — Jairus’ daughter & the woman with the issue of blood (“Talitha koum”). Isaiah 53:4 — He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Want More? Subscribe to How to Study the Bible and leave a rating/review to help others find the show.

What is the unpardonable sin? In episode two of "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches the three major functions Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would fulfill when He came. According to John 16, the Holy Spirit is our helper sent to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment. This conviction of sin isn't about individual transgressions, but rather the sin of unbelief in Christ. The Holy Spirit reveals our righteousness through faith in Jesus' resurrection, freeing us from the burden of earning our salvation. Finally, the Holy Spirit convicts of judgment, revealing that the devil has been defeated and judged.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

In this show, Dr. Ray discusses salvation. Unfortunately, many people have reduced it to a mere theological argument, debating issues like whether you can lose your salvation, whether works are required for salvation, or the necessity of baptism for salvation.

Dr. Andre Mickel joins host Dr. Mike Chupp and co-host Dr. Bill Griffin for a conversation about what it means to boldly follow Jesus in one of the most secular corners of healthcare: academia. Dr. Mickel shares how God turned his residency program at Case Western into a mission field, where students from multiple continents hear the gospel, anxious patients are prayed with, and servant leadership shapes every day of training. He opens up about the Holy Spirit's prompting in conversations with residents, the moment his boldness nearly cost him a promotion, and why compassion and courage matter in healthcare. This episode will fire you up to see your own workplace as a place to spread Christ's hope and to further the Kingdom – one prayer, one student, one patient at a time.

General Superintendent Jerald Johnson offers guidance on how pastors can creatively face opposition in their work for Christ. Pastors, like political leaders, must present programs and budgets and convince others. Johnson discusses the right to dissent within the Church of the Nazarene and how opposition allows a pastor to test their ideas. He advises against reacting to opposition and instead suggests letting proposals be tested by time. Ultimately, a pastor must stand tall as a leader, minister to the church, and rely on God's help for every difficult situation.   Lifelong Learning Code: 80890 Click here to learn about Lifelong Learning.

Two closely watched surveys of U.S. manufacturing activity painted sharply divergent pictures in November, with one showing continued expansion and the other reporting accelerating contraction, highlighting deep uncertainty about the sector's health amid ongoing adjustment to the new rules of global trade. The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI registered 52.2 in November, marking the fourth consecutive month above the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction. However, the reading slipped from 52.5 in October. By contrast, the ISM Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.2, down from 48.7 in October and marking the ninth consecutive month of contraction. The divergence places the two surveys on opposite sides of the expansion-contraction divide, an unusual occurrence that suggests significantly different conditions across the manufacturing landscape.  https://twitter.com/ShadowofEzra/status/1995904464625000594?s=20   the national debt.

Honduras and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, once reliable partners for Caracas, have both elected new governments that pledged to distance themselves from Maduro.  Honduras   Argentina, Ecuador, El Salvador, and Bolivia have also deteriorated as those countries shifted to the right. Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, both U.S. territories, have seen a renewed military buildup, with fighter jets and transport aircraft operating from Cold War-era facilities such as Roosevelt Roads and new activity at St. Croix's airport. Grenada is considering a U.S. request to host temporary radar equipment and personnel at Maurice Bishop International Airport. The government is still weighing technical and safety concerns, and the decision is complicated by the 1983 U.S. invasion and the airport's symbolic significance. Colombia remains the strongest partner, working closely with the United States on counter-narcotics, sanctions enforcement, and intelligence sharing, while also coordinating policy on the region's largest population of Venezuelan refugees. Paraguay and Uruguay consistently vote with Washington at the OAS to isolate Maduro and support democratic transition efforts.

Why is it deceptively complex? How do we end up reading the book wrongly? How should we read it, and how should pastors preach it? And where do we see Jesus in it?

We trace Matthew's journey through a house fire, church leadership conflict, and a deeper surrender to sonship, contentment, and the “unattached life.” Loss becomes seed as he releases bitterness, receives love, and watches new freedom take root in others.• moving from legalism to identity and sonship• the evacuation, radical peace, and living unattached• humility in receiving help and generosity• leadership meetings, labels, and lack of due process• guarding conscience without becoming combative• embodied healing, confession, and letting go• gratitude, new community, and fresh gospel fruit

There is a difference between receiving Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third member of the Godhead, equal with God the Father and Jesus Christ. In a new series, "The Holy Spirit," Duane Sheriff teaches that the Holy Spirit is not just a force, but a divine person with a crucial role in our spiritual lives.For too long, the Holy Spirit has been misunderstood as a mystical energy or a secondary member of the Trinity. However, Scripture reveals that He is fully God, sent by Jesus to lead and guide us into all truth. Episode one will deepen your understanding and empower you to embrace the Holy Spirit's role as your guide, comforter, and advocate in this journey of life.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/landing/the-holy-spirit/

It's Wednesday, December 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Thailand orders Christian back to Vietnam to likely torture Last Wednesday, a court in Thailand ordered that a Christian activist and asylum seeker must be sent back to Vietnam. Y Quynh Bdap, the co-founder of Montagnards Stand for Justice, faces a 10-year sentence in Vietnam for alleged anti-Communist activities.   International Christian Concern noted, “If extradited to Vietnam, he will likely face torture, violence, and imprisonment. … This will set a dangerous precedent for the thousands of other Christian refugees in Thailand who could also be extradited to their home country, where they fled persecution.” According to Open Doors, Vietnam is the 47th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Flooding and landslides in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand Monsoon rains brought catastrophic flooding and landslides to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand last week. The death toll has surpassed 1,300, and nearly a thousand people are missing. The National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka is distributing emergency aid to pastors and Christian workers in the country. The group said the flooding has been “displacing families and severely impacting pastors, Christian workers, and churches.” Trump pauses immigration from Third World countries In the United States, President Donald Trump announced last Thursday his administration will “permanently pause” migration from Third World countries.  This came a day after an Afghan national shot two National Guard members with a  357 revolver in Washington, D.C. near the White House. U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, aged 20, died the next day. U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolf remains in serious condition. However, doctors report that he was able to give a thumbs-up sign when prompted and he wiggled his toes on command as well. Brigadier General Leland Blanchard spoke at a press conference. BLANCHARD: “Their families' lives are all changed forever because one person decided to do this horrific and evil thing.” Officials charged the 29-year-old Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, with first-degree murder yesterday. The Afghan man drove cross country, from his home in Washington State, to carry out the targeted attack. He had immigrated to the United States in 2021 under a Biden era program evacuating Afghan refugees during the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces. Listen to comments from White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.  LEAVITT: “Sarah and Andrew represent the very best of America, two young patriots who were willing to put on the uniform and risk their lives in defense of their fellow Americans. Both of them truly embody the profound words spoken by Jesus Christ in the Gospel. Greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends.” (John 15:13) Mass killings are down this year Mass killings in the U.S. are down according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today. There have been 17 shooters who killed four or more people in a 24-hour period not including themselves. That's the lowest on record since 2006. Mass killings mostly occur at people's homes and often involve family members.  California officials dropped $70,000 in COVID fines against church Officials in California recently dropped nearly $70,000 in fines against a church and Christian school. The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health targeted Calvary Chapel San Jose and its affiliated Calvary Christian Academy during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Joel Oster with Advocates for Faith & Freedom said, “This is a complete victory, not only for Calvary Christian Academy, but for every church and Christian school in California. The State tried to use [the Occupational Safety and Health Administration] as a weapon to intimidate a religious institution. They failed. And they were forced to walk away from their own claims.” Should pro-life ministry be compelled to reveal names of donors? The U.S. Supreme Court heard a case yesterday involving a pro-life ministry in New Jersey. The case began in 2023 when the state targeted First Choice Women's Resource Centers with a subpoena, demanding the names of its donors.  Reuters reports that the justices appeared favorable to the pro-life ministry. William Haun with The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty said, “The Court should make clear that state bureaucrats cannot exploit their power to intimidate ministries or chill the faith commitments that guide their work.” Isaiah 10:1-2 says, “Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, who write misfortune, which they have prescribed to rob the needy of justice, and to take what is right from the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless.” The “Naughty and Nice List” of U.S. retailers And finally, AUDIO: “He's making a list and checking it twice. He's going to find out who's naughty or nice.” Liberty Counsel released its latest “Naughty and Nice List” last month. The list catalogs retailers that are censoring Christmas and ones that are publicly celebrating it. Companies that celebrate Christmas include Costco, Lowe's, and Walmart. Companies that silence and censor Christmas include TJ Maxx, Barnes & Noble, and CVS Pharmacy.   Mat Staver with Liberty Counsel said, “Christianity remains the largest faith tradition in the United States and is associated with worship, family traditions, nostalgia, and seasonal joy. … We are happy to report that some retailers still recognize that the Christmas season is about the birth of Jesus and is not just a winter holiday.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, December 3rd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Sign up for the December 10 Allies Roundtable: Zoweh.org/allies Start With Story: Vision, Brotherhood & Guardrails in Men's Ministry In this episode of the Exploring More podcast, Michael Thompson, SJ Jennings, and Josh Overton close out the Men's Ministry series with a conversation rooted in one of the most important elements of group life: story. They unpack how storytelling builds trust, catalyzes connection, and anchors the culture of a men's group far more than curriculum ever could. The team shares about the necessity of starting with a clear vision—three simple words like adventure, growth, or journey—and how this clarity helps shape expectations, engagement, and outcomes. They talk through the importance of creating group "guardrails," those unspoken (or even better, written) agreements that establish safety, rhythm, and mutual care within the group. The episode also includes guidance on how to communicate expectations clearly, how to introduce new members to your group's heartbeat, and how facilitators can foster an atmosphere where men feel free to share honestly without pressure to perform. Whether you're navigating group dynamics, coaching a co-leader, or looking to reinvigorate a tired format, this conversation offers actionable insight and encouragement. If you've ever wrestled with how to go deeper than surface-level discussion or how to steward momentum in a men's group, this one's for you. The hosts also extend an invitation to join the upcoming Zoweh Allies Roundtable on December 10th, where you can connect with like-hearted leaders, share ideas, and get equipped to launch or lead with confidence. We hope you enjoy this episode and invite you to connect with us!

It's a bit of a cliché to say that we live in uncertain times. Just look at the headlines. Relationships — from the global to the intimate — are fraying. We swim in waters full of fear and worry, contempt and disdain. Anxiety abounds. That's why today's guest — writer and cultural commentator, Sara Billups — has written a new book. It's called “Nervous Systems: Spiritual Practices to Calm Anxiety in Your Body, the Church and Politics.” It's out now and — spoiler alert — Billups writes quite a bit about Ignatian spirituality. She looks to Ignatius' all-important idea of holy indifference as a way of approaching the anxiety-inducing moment in which we all find ourselves. You may recall that when Ignatius says “indifference,” he's not promoting a lifestyle that is apathetic or callous to the signs of the times. Rather, Ignatius wants us to let go of how we want things to go and to instead allow God's Spirit to use us as they Spirit wills. In short, God's ways are not our ways; so, let's put aside our preferences and discover God's. In addition to this new book, “Nervous Systems,” Billups has bylines in the New York Times and Christianity Today. She completed a Doctor of Ministry in the Sacred Art of Writing at Peterson Cetner for the Christian Imagination at Western Theological Seminary. She writes a Substack called “Bitter Scroll” and hosts a podcast called “That's the Spirit.” You can learn more about Sara and her work by exploring the links below.
