Obeying God will help you become the Christian woman, wife, and mother you were created to be!"Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.  Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do." James 1: 22-25

    Preaching is never meant to stop at information - it is meant to produce transformation. That was the heart of Eric Lockhart's message, Preaching for Change and Obedience, delivered at the Expositors Collective training event in Kampala on 13 September 2024. With warmth and clarity, Eric urged preachers to stay rooted in the biblical text while pressing their listeners toward holiness and obedience through Spirit-empowered application.He reminded participants that the preacher's task is not to simply talk about the Bible but to faithfully declare what the Bible says. Using the image of a river, Eric explained that the power of preaching flows from the Holy Spirit working through the proclamation of Scripture. The goal is not to impress hearers with knowledge but to persuade them toward faithful action in response to God's Word.Eric also highlighted the necessity of application, both in the preacher's own life and in the lives of the audience. Biblical truth, he insisted, always demands a response. Application may be woven throughout a sermon or drawn out at the end, but it must be Christ-centred, specific, and actionable. In doing so, preaching helps believers become doers of the Word and not hearers only.Mr Eric Lockhart serves as Deputy Principal of Academic Affairs at Uganda Baptist Seminary. He holds an MDiv and ThM from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in North Carolina, and before moving to Uganda in 2018 with his wife and four boys, he pastored in the USA for fourteen years. At UBS, he lectures on Hermeneutics and Homiletics and continues to champion preaching that does more than inform - preaching that transforms.Mr. Eric Lockhart is First Deputy Principal of Academic Affairs at Uganda Baptist Seminary in Jinja, UG where he also serves as Lecturer. In addition, he serves with the International Mission Board (IMB) as the Theological Education Strategist for Sub-Saharan Africa. Likewise, he serves as convener of ABTEN and a contributor to AB316, the writing branch of ABTEN. Mr. Lockhart holds both a MDiv in Christian Ministry and a ThM in Applied Theology from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) in Wake Forest, NC. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Applied Theology with an emphasis on preaching. Mr. Lockhart is a contributing author and co-editor of  True Prosperity: A Bible Study for the African Church. Previously, he served eighteen years as a pastor in United States. He has been married to Rebekah for 23 years.

    Faith isn't belief or hope—it's assurance. In this message, Dr. Gabe unpacks the true meaning of faith, challenging common misconceptions and encouraging listeners to move beyond hope into the assurance of God's reality. He explores how faith is not just belief or hope, but the unwavering confidence in God—regardless of circumstance or outcome. To live by faith is to possess an unwavering assurance in God's love, sovereignty, and presence, regardless of circumstances. It is to embrace sacrifice and trust, even when there's no earthly guarantee.

    Have no doubt, decisions are being made to initiate another global conflict. In the post Assad era, Syrian violence is heating up during their first elections. Only carefully selected electors are voting. Who is guiding and funding the factions? Minorities, women and others are excluded. Many predict an ugly end. The secretive, isolated Druse are part of the fabric. Most Syrians are not even voting. Next is a new parlement and no changes. Some voices are not easily ignored. The strategic Golan Heights. This is how Hamas took over Palestine. In war, truth is buried under layers of deception. But it's the women and children who suffer most. Chanting to kill them all is beneath us. He sees everything, and this is not OK. Patronage means people stay loyal. Starvation works when you attack supply chains. Currency systems are choke points. The global order manufactures dependencies. We are all prompts. Obedience is instinctive. Who controls your country? It's not the politicians, but a soft invisible leash. Contract, municipal suppliers, grid officials and administrators. Scale it out and consider your cities. Utilities are leverage. Self respect is easy to lose. Until we learn to live without a leash, we will never be able to control it.

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Nathan Mitchell from Broken Arrow, OK. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 7:4–8. And the LORD said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,' shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,' shall not go.” So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself. Likewise, everyone who kneels down to drink.” And the number of those who lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was three hundred men, but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “With the three hundred men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.” So the people took provisions in their hands, and their trumpets. And he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the three hundred men. And the camp of Midian was below him in the valley. — Judges 7:4-8 You'd think losing 22,000 soldiers was enough. But God isn't finished. He tells Gideon, “The people are still too many.” This time, there's no speech to the crowd — just a strange test at the water's edge. Soldiers kneel or lap water from their hands. The result? Only 300 make the cut. No explanation about why this method mattered. No insight into the military reasoning. Just God's choice — and His promise: “With the three hundred men… I will save you.” Gideon is now down to less than 1% of his original army. From a human perspective, the odds aren't just bad — they're impossible. And that's exactly how God wants it. When you're down to your “less than 1%,” it's not always a sign that God has abandoned you — sometimes it's proof he's setting the stage for His glory. Gideon's reduction wasn't about military strategy; it was about making sure Israel couldn't take credit. God will sometimes allow your resources, influence, or opportunities to shrink to a fraction of what you think you need. Why? So the only explanation left is him. In everyday life, this might look like a budget cut that forces you to depend on his provision, a smaller team that makes you lean harder on his strength, or fewer open doors so that when the right one opens, you know it's from him. We resist these reductions because they feel like loss. But in God's hands, they're actually preparation. He removes what you think you need so you can discover he's all you truly need. ASK THIS: Where has God been reducing your “army” lately? How could this loss be positioning you for a greater dependence on Him? Are you tempted to measure God's ability by your resources? What would it look like to trust Him with your “less than 1%”? DO THIS: Identify one area in your life where God has reduced your resources. Instead of panicking, thank Him for the opportunity to see His power more clearly. PRAY THIS: Lord, when my strength is reduced and my resources run low, help me remember that You are setting the stage for Your power. Teach me to trust You more than what's in my hands. Amen.

It explores what it means to act on truth, showing that faith without action is lifeless, and obedience is both the fruit of love and the path to freedom. Through Abraham's test and Jesus' triumph, we're called to align our actions with God's revealed truth and walk the path that leads to life.

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get behind our through the Bible project. Read more here Project23. Our text today is Judges 6:33–40. Now all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the East came together, and they crossed the Jordan and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel. But the Spirit of the LORD clothed Gideon, and he sounded the trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called out to follow him. And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and they too were called out to follow him. And he sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they went up to meet them. Then Gideon said to God, “If you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said, behold, I am laying a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece alone, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you have said.” And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water. Then Gideon said to God, “Let not your anger burn against me; let me speak just once more. Please let it be dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground let there be dew.” And God did so that night; and it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew. — Judges 6:33-40 The Valley of Jezreel was filling with enemy troops — Midianites, Amalekites, and other eastern peoples. From a human perspective, this was overwhelming. But then comes a defining moment: “The Spirit of the LORD clothed Gideon.” The language is vivid — God didn't just give Gideon a pep talk. He wrapped him in His own Spirit like a warrior putting on armor. Suddenly, the man who once threshed wheat in hiding is blasting a trumpet for war, summoning tribes from all directions to follow him. And yet… clothed in God's Spirit, Gideon feels the pull of the gap — that space between what he believes about God's promise and the confidence to act on it without hesitation. Twice, he lays out a fleece for reassurance. Twice, God answers patiently. It's a moment both victorious and vulnerable — a Spirit-filled man still learning to walk in the courage God has given. Most of us live with a gap — the space between what we believe about God and how we actually live it out. We believe He's faithful, yet we still fear. We believe He provides, yet we cling to our own protection. We believe He calls us, yet we cower when it's time to move. Gideon's story reminds us that the Spirit doesn't nullify our humanity. The Spirit equips us for the fight, but God's patience shapes us for it. He meets us in the gap — not to leave us there, but to move us forward. And here's the pivotal point: the way to close the gap is not to wait until you feel fearless, but to act with the faith you have today. Each step in obedience shrinks the distance between belief and boldness. So what's your gap right now — fear, control, insecurity, doubt? Name it. Write it in the comments. Write it into your journal. Bring it before God. Ask His Spirit to fill it and clothe you. And then take a step that puts your belief into motion. ASK THIS: Where is the gap between your belief and your obedience right now? How has God's Spirit already equipped you for it? How has God shown patience toward you in that gap? What step could you take today to close it? DO THIS: Name your gap, pray for the Spirit to fill it, and take one concrete action today that turns belief into boldness. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You for clothing me with Your Spirit and meeting me in the gap between what I believe about You and how I live it out. Help me to step forward today, trusting Your power more than my fear. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Even When It Hurts."

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get behind our through the Bible project. Read more here Project23. Our text today is Judges 6:25–32. That night the LORD said to him, “Take your father's bull, and the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it and build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order. Then take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you shall cut down.” So Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the LORD had told him. But because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night. When the men of the town rose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered on the altar that had been built. And they said to one another, “Who has done this thing?” And after they had searched and inquired, they said, “Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.” Then the men of the town said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has broken down the altar of Baal and cut down the Asherah beside it.” But Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? Whoever contends for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been broken down.” Therefore on that day Gideon was called Jerubbaal, that is to say, “Let Baal contend against him,” because he broke down his altar. — Judges 6:25-32 Fresh from building an altar to the LORD, Gideon's first assignment isn't charging Midian's army — it's tearing down his father's altar to Baal and cutting down the Asherah pole beside it. It's risky. This is personal. This is his family's idol and his community's false god. Gideon obeys — but he does it at night, still afraid of the backlash. By morning, the whole town knows. They demand his death, but Gideon's father unexpectedly defends him: “If Baal is a god, let him contend for himself.” That day, Gideon gets a new name: Jerubbaal — “Let Baal contend against him.” Before God sends you to confront the enemy “out there,” He will ask you to confront the compromise “in here.” For Gideon, the victory over Midian had to start with victory over idolatry in his own home. It's the same for us — the battles that matter most often begin in the places closest to us: The habits no one else sees. The values we've tolerated. The cultural idols we've quietly accepted. This is why worship must be followed by obedience. The altar of peace fuels the courage to pull down the altars that compete with God. And sometimes that means tough, awkward, costly steps before you ever face the “big” enemy. If you skip this step, you might fight in public while losing in private. But if you obey here, you'll be ready for whatever comes next. So what do you need to tear down today? Write it in your journal. Share it in the comments. And tear it down, regardless of what others say. ASK THIS: What “altars” — habits, compromises, or idols — has God been asking you to tear down? How has fear kept you from confronting them? Who in your life might be impacted if you took that stand? Are you willing to start your battle where God says, not where you'd prefer? DO THIS: Write down one personal or family “altar” that needs to go — a practice, influence, or mindset that pulls you away from God. Take one concrete step this week to remove it. PRAY THIS: Lord, give me the courage to start the fight where You tell me, even if it's close to home and costs me something. Let my obedience to You be the loudest message I send to the watching world. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Christ Be Magnified."

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get behind our through the Bible project. Read more here Project23. Our text today is Judges 6:17–24. And he said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here until I come to you and bring out my present and set it before you.” And he said, “I will stay till you return.” So Gideon went into his house and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket and the broth he put in a pot and brought them to him under the terebinth and presented them. And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour the broth over them.” And he did so. Then the angel of the LORD reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes. And fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight. Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the LORD. And Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord GOD! For now I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face.” But the LORD said to him, “Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.” Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and called it, The LORD Is Peace. — Judges 6:17-24 Gideon's call is still fresh. God has told him, “I will be with you”, but fear is still whispering in his ear. He wants to believe — but he needs assurance. So Gideon offers what he has — a gift, placed before the angel of the LORD. In a flash of fire from the rock, God confirms His presence and His power. Gideon's fear spikes at first (“I have seen the angel of the LORD face to face!”), but God speaks peace into the moment: “Do not fear; you shall not die.” And right there, Gideon builds an altar. It's not just a monument — it's the turning point. The altar becomes the bridge between the fear that kept him in hiding and the faith that will send him into action. Worship is more than singing songs. It's the place where we respond to God's presence, remember his promises, and let his voice replace our fear with peace. For Gideon, that altar was where “I can't” became “He can.” It's where he stopped letting fear define his future and started believing God's affirmation. This is why so many of us stall in our calling — we try to jump from fear straight to action. But the path God gives is different: Fear → Worship → Faith → Action The altar is the bridge. Without it, you're running on your own adrenaline. With it, you're fueled by his peace. Pause whatever else you're doing and worship right now. Speak out loud one fear that's been holding you back. Thank God for one specific way He's confirmed His presence in your life. Pray these words: “You are my peace. I trust You more than I fear.” Write today's date in your journal as a marker — your “altar” moment — so you remember where fear became faith. ASK THIS: Where has fear been keeping you in hiding instead of moving forward? How could intentional worship today become your bridge into faith? What would your “altar” look like in this season? Are you trying to leap into action without first letting God speak peace over you? DO THIS: Pause whatever else you're doing and worship. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank You that worship is the bridge between my fear and my faith. I offer You my fear right now and choose to rest in Your peace before I move forward. Amen.

    Send us a textWhat if the most powerful works are the ones no one sees? We open the door to a deep, honest look at the fruit of the Spirit and why love, joy, peace, and self-control outlast any checklist. From Paul's challenge in Galatians 5 to the wisdom of James and Hebrews, we unpack the difference between faith that performs and faith that produces. Along the way, we confront performative generosity, explore the quiet dignity of secret obedience, and ask a hard question: are we chasing applause or transformation?Our conversation makes a sharp turn at the crossroads of circumcision and crucifixion. The early church wrestled with adding badges of belonging to the gospel; Paul answers by pointing to the cross that kills the old self and raises a new life in the Spirit. That insight reframes everything. Obedience isn't a burden to earn favor; it's the desire of a heart already adopted, led by the Spirit, and disciplined like a true disciple. We share practical tools for daily dying—recognizing temptation early, praying Scripture, phoning a friend, taking a walk, fasting with purpose—and anchor the fight with simple, sturdy truths: resist the devil and he will flee; the Lord delivers the righteous from all their afflictions.You'll hear stories that contrast hollow spectacle with humble faithfulness, and you'll get a roadmap for navigating anger, cravings, and discouragement without turning grace into an excuse. Faith is not a fog; it's substance and evidence that holds when feelings waver. If you're longing for a life that is less about managing appearances and more about real inner change, this one will meet you where you are and walk with you toward freedom.If this resonates, follow and share it with someone who needs encouragement today—and leave a quick review to help others find the show.

    This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. Most 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs are praying for millions but building on chaos—and they don't even realize it. In this powerful third installment of the Legacy-Led CEO Series, Dr. Darnyelle unpacks the seven sacred rhythms every 7-figure CEO must master to experience sustainable success. You'll discover why hustle keeps you broke, how spiritual alignment is your real business plan, and what daily practices high-performing entrepreneurs use to outperform their peers by 25% or more. If your strategy is stalled, this episode reveals why—and how to shift with intention, structure, and overflow. It's not about working harder. It's about working in rhythm with God, your legacy, and your nervous system. This episode will give you the blueprint for sustainable success by revealing the seven purpose-driven practices every Legacy-Led CEO needs to anchor in rhythm, regulation, and revenue. You'll walk away understanding why rest is spiritual, why obedience is a growth strategy, and why your nervous system—not your marketing—is the real foundation of overflow. If you're tired of the inconsistency in your income or feel disconnected from the purpose of your business, this episode will recalibrate your leadership and reignite your legacy. This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is I honor the divine structure of my legacy. I am not building on chaos, I am building on sacred rhythm. My calendar is a consecrated covenant. My practices hold my power. I do not chase millions—I calibrate to hold them. I do not work harder—I align deeper. Each day, I rise in devotion, I move in obedience, and I lead in rhythm. Overflow is not a fluke—it is the fruit of my daily discipline. I am spiritually attuned, energetically calibrated, and financially fortified. I am the steward of my calling. I lead with grace, I multiply with ease, and I hold the mantle of a Legacy-Led CEO with sacred authority. Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Choose Your Rhythm, Not Your Reaction Establish one sacred practice from the Legacy Leadership Protocol this week—whether it's a CEO Sabbath or energetic calibration—and commit to it fully. Your nervous system is your business strategy. Track Obedience Like Revenue If you're willing to check your bank account daily, start checking in with God daily too. Obedience is not optional—it's the accelerator to sustainable overflow. Audit Your Calendar for Chaos If your calendar doesn't reflect your legacy, your legacy won't reflect your wealth. Block time this week to align your routines with your revenue goals. Affirm with me: I honor the divine structure of my legacy. I am not building on chaos, I am building on sacred rhythm. My calendar is a consecrated covenant. My practices hold my power. I do not chase millions—I calibrate to hold them. I do not work harder—I align deeper. Each day, I rise in devotion, I move in obedience, and I lead in rhythm. Overflow is not a fluke—it is the fruit of my daily discipline. I am spiritually attuned, energetically calibrated, and financially fortified. I am the steward of my calling. I lead with grace, I multiply with ease, and I hold the mantle of a Legacy-Led CEO with sacred authority. And this week's journal prompts are: The daily rhythm that would change everything for me is… When I check in with my legacy, I feel… The habit I avoid but know I need is… And your prayer of the week: God, we thank You for the sacred assignment we carry as Legacy-Led CEOs. We acknowledge that the move to millions is not built on hustle, but on holy habits and divine alignment. We pray that You anchor us in rhythm, obedience, and rest. Teach us to trust provision over performance and peace over pressure. Help us to calibrate our energy, steward our mantle, and honor our lineage through every decision. May we become leaders who are not only wealthy but wise. Show us how to lead our companies in a way that reflects Heaven's order and Earth's impact. We receive clarity, we receive structure, and we receive Your presence in our business this week. In Your name, Amen.

    Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Get behind our through the Bible project. Read more here Project23. Our text today is Judges 6:13–16. And Gideon said to him, “Please, my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?' But now the LORD has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” And the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” And he said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.” And the LORD said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.” — Judges 6:13-16 Gideon's first response to God's call is a flood of doubts and questions: If God is with us, why has life gone so wrong? Where are the miracles we've heard about? How can I save Israel? I'm the weakest person from the weakest clan. God doesn't argue his résumé. He doesn't explain why Gideon is the perfect choice. He simply says: “Do not I send you?… I will be with you.” Gideon says, “I can't.” God answers, “I can.” We all have moments when God's calling collides with our sense of inadequacy. We see the size of the task and the smallness of our ability. Fear magnifies our weakness until the only thing we can say is, “I can't.” But God isn't asking if you can — he's declaring that He can. His presence is the decisive factor in every calling. When you believe “I can't,” you stay in hiding. When you believe “He can,” you step out in obedience. God chooses people who feel unqualified so that His strength, not theirs, gets the glory. The shift from “I can't” to “He can” doesn't happen when you suddenly feel strong. It happens when you decide his ability matters more than your inadequacy. That's the moment you can walk into something bigger than yourself — because he's already there. ASK THIS: Where in your life are you stuck, saying “I can't”? How might believing “He can” change the way you see that situation? What past moments prove God's strength outweighed your weakness? How can you keep God's presence at the front of your mind this week? DO THIS: Write “I can't… but He can” on a sticky note and put it somewhere you'll see it all day. Let it reframe how you view the challenges in front of you. PRAY THIS: Lord, I admit my weakness, but I trust Your strength. Move me from “I can't” to “He can,” and help me step into what You've called me to with confidence in You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Whom Shall I Fear [God of Angel Armies]."

    The book of Ruth may be only four short chapters, but it carries one of the most powerful and hope-filled stories in the entire Bible. Set during the dark and chaotic era of the Judges, Ruth's story begins with famine, loss, and bitterness—but it ends with redemption, joy, and the promise of a King. In this sermon, we journey through the entire book of Ruth. We begin with Naomi, a grieving widow who believes her life has been emptied by God. We meet Ruth, a foreigner from Moab, who makes a radical decision of faith: to leave her homeland, her family, and her gods behind to follow Naomi and worship the God of Israel. Her words—“Your people will be my people, and your God my God”—become a defining moment of loyalty and trust. What follows is a story of divine providence woven through ordinary events. Ruth “just happens” to glean in the field of Boaz, a man of noble character and a relative of Naomi's late husband. In Boaz, we see both kindness and strength as he steps into the role of kinsman-redeemer, protecting Ruth and securing a future for Naomi's family. What looks like chance is really God's careful orchestration. This lesson reminds us that no life is too small, no decision too ordinary, and no circumstance too bleak for God to use in His redemptive plan. The book of Ruth teaches us that behind every step of obedience, every act of loyalty, and every risk of faith lies the possibility of God writing a much bigger story than we could ever imagine. If you've ever wondered how God can work through your everyday struggles, disappointments, and choices, this story is for you. Ruth's journey shows us that God's providence is at work in famine and in fullness, in tragedy and in joy, and that He is still weaving our ordinary lives into His extraordinary plan of redemption.

Drawing from Kirk's own words about victory over pornography and Psalm 97:10, Ryan reframes purity not as an end in itself but as the necessary overflow of loving Jesus and pursuing His calling with focus.Topics DiscussedPurity vs. purpose: which is the calling and which is the conditionLessons from Charlie Kirk's testimony and focusThe danger of letting the “fight for purity” become a lifelong distractionPractical safeguards (accountability, tech tools) in their proper placePsalm 97:10 and hating evil as an expression of loving GodMoving from abstinence-mindset to satisfaction in ChristSimultaneously growing in purity while stepping into God's missionKey TakeawaysPurity is not the destination; it's the runway for a Spirit-led life on mission.A life that can “comfortably accommodate” impurity is misaligned with calling.Tools and accountability help, but transformation flows from loving Christ first.Get on mission now; don't postpone obedience until you feel “fully pure.”As love for Christ increases, purity increases—because there's more of you reserved for Him.Resources & LinksCharlie Kirk's original interview: ListenCovenant Eyes — accountability software for purityReady to download the Cord App?

    Have you ever found yourself stuck in uncertainty, second-guessing your decisions, or feeling paralyzed by the pressure to choose “right”? You’re not alone. This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Katie M. Reid about her brand-new Bible study, God, What Do I Do?—a six-session journey through Judges 1–5. In these chapters, we see the Israelites struggling at crossroads, learning to trust God’s wisdom, and discovering how to follow His lead in uncertain times. Katie shares how these stories offer us timeless principles for decision-making today. Whether you’re facing a major life transition, a difficult dilemma, or even small daily choices, Katie’s insights will help you: Gain clarity and confidence in your decisions Find peace when God’s voice feels silent Be empowered to make godly choices—even when the stakes are high Her heart is to equip you with six simple guiding principles rooted in Scripture so you can move forward in faith, not fear. My prayer is that this episode will remind you that you don’t have to carry the weight of every decision alone. God’s wisdom is available to you, and His Spirit will faithfully guide your steps. With love,Rachael P.S. If you’re looking for a new study for yourself or your small group, I highly recommend Katie’s God, What Do I Do? You’ll walk away encouraged, equipped, and more confident in God’s leading.

    Live in North Houston? Check out our new in-person meeting https://webuild.lindsayfletcher.co Download 5 Prayers for Your Small Business https://prayer.lindsayfletcher.co    Episode 87 of How to Grow My Small Business is a special one. Today, I'm sharing 5 powerful prayers for business owners because as Christian entrepreneurs, our faith and our work are deeply connected. Running a small business can feel overwhelming at times. There are sales goals to hit, relationships to build, strategies to create, and endless tasks pulling at your attention. But as believers, we know that prayer is the foundation of everything we do. When we seek God's wisdom and align our businesses with His Kingdom purpose, we can move forward with peace, confidence, and clarity. In this episode, I'll walk you through five Scripture-inspired prayers you can use daily or in moments when you need direction, encouragement, or fresh vision. These prayers focus on: Habits and routines that draw us closer to God and closer to success in business. Multiplication of resources, relationships, and Kingdom impact. Christ-like relationships with customers, employees, and communities. Vision and boundaries that allow us to thrive where God has planted us. Obedience to God's plan, even when it doesn't make sense on the surface. If you've ever wondered how to keep your faith at the center of your business, or you're craving prayers that go beyond generic blessings and actually speak to the challenges of entrepreneurship, this episode will encourage you and equip you.

The Scripture, in my view, opposes his opening remarks. But the fascinating thing is how he comes back around to personal choices to live with love, humility, obedience, and perseverance. This can be a good starting place when talking with Calvinist friends.MacArthur: If I could lose my salvation?I would.Right?If I could, I would, because I don't have the power to hold it.How can we have assurance that we are saved?Well, you can eliminate one thing for certain that can take your assurance, and that is the idea that you could lose your salvation.That's a lot.Salvation is forever.Salvation is eternal.There's nothing that can separate you from the love of Christ.Jesus said in John 6, the gift of you will come to me, and I will lose none of them, but raise them at the last day.Salvation is forever.So if you are saved, it's forever.That faith cannot fail because that faith is not your faith, that's a gift of God who's given it to you if hes to .So you eliminate that if you get your theology, right, that salvation is forever.So all you want to know is, is my salvation forever.And here's how you know.I think there are three tests and then a forthcoming.Test number one is, what do you love?What do you love?If any man is in Christ, he's a new creation, old things pass away, new things come.What are these new things?I like to think of them as new affections.So the first mark of a believer.It's not perfect, but it's evident love.What do you love?You love the Lord?You love His Word.You, you don't love him like you should, and he used to be increased.You don't love the word like you should, but you love those things.You love the people of God.You want to be with his people, you want to be in the church, you want to be a part of the worshiping group.So, love is the first evidence of a transformed heart.The second one is humility.There's a sense in which you are aware of your sinfulness, and you never really get over this incredible grace that's been given to you to save you.The third one is obedience.It's not perfect obedience, but it's a longing in your heart to obey the Lord.You do acknowledge him as Lord.Do you want to obey.So love, humility, and obedience.And then the fourth thing is this, it's trials, it's what can your faith survive?You know, people who say, well, I believe in the Lord, and something goes wrong in their life, and they walk out.Well, that's not a saving faith.That's not a faith that's a gift from God , because that lasts.
