Do you ever wonder what you have to offer? Today, Joyce teaches on doing what you can do with the gifts you have and making a difference in the kingdom of God.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest choices we face—but it's also one of the most powerful. Today's guest, author Debbie Barr, reveals how forgiving others isn't just an act of obedience to God—it's a gift to ourselves. Many people don't realize this, but we pay a high price to our overall health when we cling to resentment, bitterness, and thoughts of revenge. So, through a blend of science, psychology, and Scripture, Debbie unpacks the life-changing benefits of forgiveness. Plus, she'll give you practical steps to start moving forward, helping you understand why “forgive and forget” is a myth, what to do when painful memories resurface, and why waiting for the “right emotions” before forgiving is a mistake.  So, if you're struggling to forgive, wondering if you've truly forgiven, or simply need encouragement on your journey, listen in! You're about to get a taste of the freedom that comes with forgiveness. SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/352  Enter to win the GIVEAWAY and read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Alex discusses the struggle between comfort and discomfort within our faith journeys, relating it to biblical stories and personal anecdotes. He is joined by Steve, our retiring executive pastor, who reflects on his 40-year ministry, emphasizing faithfulness over success and the unexpected ways God prepares us for His plans.

In this episode, Tony Brewer exposes the trap of viral religion and spiritual busyness—a form of Christianity that looks active but lacks obedience. From clickbait memes to emotional manipulation masked as faith, Tony lays bare how today's digital expressions can simulate faithfulness while actually undermining it.He challenges listeners to examine the difference between genuine obedience and superficial gestures, reminding us that true service to God is rooted in scripture, not feelings. Tony also shares updates on collaborative work with Aaron, ideas for promoting his Locals community, and the broader challenge of redirecting people from performative Christianity to purposeful discipleship.This conversation is both convicting and equipping—calling believers to return to the Word, return to the work, and follow the Shepherd who still leads His sheep.

This week we are joined by fellow traveler Dan Gish to discuss LLMs and AGI. Does it really, truly make sense to think that OpenAI or DeepMind are not at least an important stepping stone towards the creation of human-level creativity? What does it mean when CritRats assert that these AI algorithms are the opposite of human intelligence because they are obedient whereas we are disobedient?⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠

In this episode, I'm diving into what it looks like to walk in obedience to God—even when it makes absolutely no sense. I'm sharing some real and raw stories from my own life—like the crazy call to go to Africa, shutting down a million-dollar business, and leading an impartation service in a country where ministry is illegal. We're also looking at biblical obedience through the story of Noah and how saying "yes" can unlock wild favor and fruit.  If you've ever felt unqualified, unsure, or stuck in fear, this episode is your reminder that obedience unlocks breakthrough. __________________________________________________________   Ready for more?

Today it seems as if maybe we have forgotten our mission. Those who follow Christ, those who have been saved and forgiven have received a mission from their savior. We are told to “go and make disciples.” Have we forgotten this is our calling? Have we forgotten this is our individual responsibility?Main Points:1. We have come to believe the church is something we attend, not something we are, but this is not how Christ framed his network of followers in the New Testament.2. Obedience to Christ's command to make disciples is fulfilled not through church programs, but as individuals invest their lives into others. It's people who reach people for Christ. We then spend time with them to help them grow and become disciples, who would then make other disciples.3. Jesus said we are to “make disciples.” This means we must take the initiative to do something. We must speak up. We must invest our lives in building relationships with those who don't know Jesus. We must give our time to share Christ and to help them grow into disciples.Today's Scripture Verses:Matthew 28:19-20 - “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Acts 1:8 - "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

The Impact of Obedience | Pastor Chris Freeman | May 25, 2025

Love and obedience is the theme of the gospel today and ultimately the theme of the Last supper discourses   obedience is the  visible proof of loving Jesus.

"God put on my heart to go for a walk every day for 100 days. And, to journal what happened along the way. I had no idea what it would lead to!" ---------- Hi, Trapper Jack here. Ever get that weird nudge from God that makes zero sense? Like, “Hey, go do this totally random thing”—with no instructions, no context, and definitely no heavenly user manual? Yeah, Cindy got one of those. God told her to walk. Every day. For 100 days. Talk to strangers. Be encouraging. Journal about it. That's it. Write. Rinse. Repeat. Then came the next divine plot twist—write for 15 minutes a day. Cindy was to look at her journal and add that which the Holy Spirit delivered. She was faithful and disciplined. And suddenly, it became a book called, “GUT, God Uttering Truths.” Turns out, those so-called random sidewalk chats. Not so random. God had a plan. Obedience is more important than understanding. This episode is your reminder that obedience often makes more sense looking back than it does in the moment. God says, “Trust Me,” and Cindy did. One step at a time. ---------- GUT, God Uttering Truths: https://www.amazon.com/Uttering-Truths-Cynthia-Farmwald-Helfrich-ebook/dp/B087ZR33WQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=20ZZCUHNIJS47&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1ny_9J831wIIg-DPDoLb7g._jKasa43VmdohJ7vV1qNVMNEegvk0U_nxMwRS0X8VWA&dib_tag=se&keywords=Gut%3A+God%27s+Uttering+of+Truths&qid=1747938602&sprefix=gut+god%27s+uttering+of+truths%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-1 ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

“As long as you're happy, nothing else matters.” The world might often tell you this, but nothing could be further from the truth. Although we are saved by grace through faith and not as a result of works, God still calls us to be holy and obey His commands. What's in it for us? In our next part of Rise and Fall, we'll learn why obedience to God matters more than we may think, and why even partial disobedience can still cause us a whole lot of hurt.

Homily given at St. Thomas à Becket on the 6th Sunday of Easter (May 25, 2025).

Jake Cronin continues our sermon series Joshua, in Chapters 11 and 12 of the book of Joshua, with this week's message titled "Faithful Obedience for a Lifetime".

Does It Really Work? | Week 5 | Finding Joy In Obedience | Pastor Tyler Sollie | Life Center Tacoma John 14:15 (CSB) Obedience isn't LEGALISM Obedience is LOVE 1 Samuel 15:13-22 (CSB) Step One: LISTEN Step Two: SURRENDER Step Three: RESPOND 2 John 1:6 (CSB) Walking the path of obedience will not always be CONVENIENT or COMFORTABLE - but it always leads to the right DESTINATION.

The Bible often warns us against false prophets. It is all throughout the pages of Scripture. So, how can a local church discern truth from error in a world filled with mixed messages? The answer is more straightforward than you might think!1) Christians must test doctrine2) Christians must hold fast to truth3) Christians must listen to truthText: 1 John 4:1-6

In this sermon on Hebrews 13:1–21, Pastor Benjamin Kandt explores how unshakeable faith takes root in everyday life. As the letter to the Hebrews draws to a close, the author turns from theological depth to practical exhortation — calling the church to live with love, hospitality, sexual integrity, contentment, and respect for spiritual leaders. Pastor Benjamin unpacks how these ordinary, often overlooked practices are actually extraordinary when grounded in Christ, who is “the same yesterday, today, and forever.”The sermon culminates in the majestic benediction of verses 20–21, where God is revealed as the One who equips His people through the risen Christ, our Great Shepherd. Pastor Benjamin reminds us that the Christian life is not lived in our own strength, but in the power of God's grace, enabling us to do His will. This message invites us to embody our theology in community — living out gospel truth in love, sacrifice, and faithful obedience.

In The Next Right Steps sermon series, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about how fear is a thief, from 1 Samuel 13 & 15 when King Saul improperly offered a sacrifice, including 1. Fear Distorts Reality, 2. Fear Pressures Us to Take Control, 3. Fear Reveals Where We Trust Ourselves More Than God, 4. Obedience > Sacrifice, 5. Fear Can Become a Pattern, and finally, We Choose Behavior, Not Consequences. This podcast episode is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, May 25, 2025.

An Invitation to Obedience- Veach Psalm 67 John 4:23-29

An Invitation to Obedience- Huebner Psalm 67 John 4:23-29

Main Point. God demands His people's complete and unwavering obedience, for half-hearted obedience invites spiritual decay and divine judgement. Driving Question. What are the results of half-hearted obedience? 1. Deception of short-lived prosperity (1–20) 2. Downward spiral of faithlessness (21–36) Application. Do you think you have ever been guilty of half-hearted obedience? 3. Divine judgment of God (2:1–5) Takeaways. three about man: Distrust breeds Disobedience. (1:3–36) Compromise leads to Consequences. (2:1–3) Revelation of sin leads to Repentance. (2:4–5) two about God: God is faithful to his promises. (1:1–2) God alone drives out the enemy.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.” John 14:23–24The Father and the Son are One. Their unity is perfect in every way. They share one divine nature. Yet they are distinct Persons. They are not only perfectly united as One God, they are also able to be in a loving communion of unity with each other. The mystery of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is a mystery so deep that we will never fully comprehend Them. They are the “unknowable God” Whom we seek to know. Thus, our relationship with God is an ongoing journey by which we plunge ourselves into this mystery more deeply every day and through eternity.Today's Gospel gives us a glimpse into the glorious unity of God, but it goes further. It also reveals the desire in the Heart of God to come and dwell within us. If we love God and keep His Word, the Trinity will come to us and dwell within us. “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.” This invitation given to us to share in the unity of God is also a mystery too deep for words.As a child, perhaps you were taught about the mystery of the Trinity by being shown a three-leaf clover. Each petal represents one of the divine Persons, but the whole leaf represents Their unity. We benefit from this simplistic imagery to help us begin to understand Who God is. But in reality, there is only one thing that will help to fully reveal God's very Self to us. What is that one thing? It is exactly what Jesus spoke about: Loving obedience to the Word of God. Obedience to the Word of God is the best expression of love we can offer to God. This is because God's Word is Truth in its fullness. When we understand this Truth and live by it, then this is love. Furthermore, this form of loving obedience will result in something that is unimaginable. It will result in the indwelling of the Most Holy Trinity in our souls: “...and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.”Though this language is clouded and mysterious, when the Most Holy Trinity comes to dwell within a person, the cloud begins to be lifted and the mystery begins to become known. Therefore, the only way to begin to discover this incomprehensible mystery of the life of the Most Holy Trinity is to allow the Trinity to dwell within you. And the only way to invite God to do so is through love of Him. And the only way to love Him is through obedience to the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God. We especially come to know Him as the Word of God through our reading of the Scriptures and by living the message it proclaims. Reflect, today, upon the most central calling you have been given. That mission is to become a dwelling place for God. And that is only accomplished by your love of God which is expressed through obedience to His Word. Ponder obedience. Tell God you will obey His every command of love. Look at your actions and consider any ways that you fail in obedience to all that our Lord has commanded. Where you see any deviation, know that correcting that deviation is the pathway not only to a deeper love but also the pathway to a fuller unity with the Triune God Who seeks to unite Himself to you from within. Most Holy Trinity, Unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, come dwell within me. I pray for the gift of love of You, expressed through my obedience to Your every command that is revealed through Your holy Word. May I become more fully aware of every way I delay in my obedience so that I may change my ways and open myself more fully to You. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Listeners, this episode is a out of chronological order in our study of Luke, but the message is so good we included it anyway! People suffer hardship and rejection for different reasons. Sometimes we reap the bitter fruit of our own mistakes or rebellion. Sometimes we reap the bitter fruit of others' mistakes or rebellion. Yet, sometimes we suffer precisely because we are doing what God has asked us to do. Obedience to Him can bring hostility from people and oppression from the devil, and these can leave us feeling deeply discouraged. But if God's will has led us into hardship, then we can be sure He won't forsake us in the middle of it. In this passage for today, we see Mary giving birth to Jesus in a stable in Bethlehem, and it appears she's having to do this alone. Under these circumstances it's hard to imagine Mary wasn't discouraged as she had to wrap her own baby and put Him in a feeding trough for a crib. So, God did a wonderful miracle to encourage her. He found a group of godly shepherds still awake at that time of night and let them see the joy that heaven felt over the birth of her Son. In effect He sent the shepherds as prophets to encourage and comfort her in those dark moments. And we learn from this that God will also encourage us when His will has gotten us into trouble. He'll let us know He loves us and hasn't forgotten us, and His plan is right on track.

Message by Pastor Blake

Read Online“If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love.” John 15:10When Jesus spoke the line above, He followed it by saying, “I have told you this so that my joy might be in you and your joy might be complete.” These two lines, taken side by side, provide a helpful unity of Jesus' teaching regarding holy obedience to Him.First, Jesus speaks of the necessity of keeping His commandments. To some, such a statement, when taken by itself, can seem burdensome, dictatorial, oppressive and confining. But is it? The answer is found clearly as we read on.The next thing Jesus teaches is that the effect of keeping His commandments is that we “remain in His love.” He further explains that He is not asking us to do anything that He Himself was not willing to do. He was obedient to the will of the Father, keeping the commandments of the Father to perfection. Therefore, we should hear His command as a dictate flowing from His own freely lived choice to be obedient. As the Incarnate Son of God, He perfectly obeyed the Father in His human nature. The result was that He remained perfectly filled with the love of the Father. But that's not all. Joy is also experienced in a “complete” way when we imitate Jesus' perfect obedience.In light of the teaching from our Lord, how do you view holy obedience to the will of God? Take, for example, each of the Ten Commandments. Do you struggle with unwavering obedience to them? Do you experience them as oppressive and imposed limitations rather than what they truly are? When understood correctly, the Ten Commandments, and every other dictate of the will of God, are exactly what we need and, even more so, exactly what we deeply desire in life. We want interior order rather than chaos. We want integrity rather than fragility. We want joy rather than sadness. And we want unity with the love of God rather than the loss of God. The path to the life we so deeply desire is obedience to the commands of the will of God in all things. Reflect, today, upon your immediate interior reaction to holy obedience. If you do find yourself resistant in any way to this teaching of Jesus, then that is a good sign that you need this teaching more than you may know. Try to look at obedience in the light of truth. Try to see that, deep down, your soul yearns for obedience and the interior order it brings. Examine, especially, any areas of obedience you struggle with and firmly recommit yourself to unwavering obedience to each and every command of our Lord. My obedient Lord, You obeyed the will of Your Father in Heaven to perfection. Through this obedience, You not only experienced the full love and joy of the Father in Your human nature, You also set for us a perfect example and model for holiness. Help me to see the areas of my life in which I need to be more obedient, so that I, too, will share in Your holy life and that of the Father's.

In today's episode, we complete our five-month journey through the Book of Romans. Paul's closing words offer deep insight into the power of gospel partnerships, the humility of servant leadership, and the once-hidden mystery now revealed to all nations. Rick and Doc unpack the legacy of Tertius, the importance of teamwork in ministry, and the truth that the gospel has already been fully revealed—leaving no room for modern-day “mystery” profiteers.This powerful conclusion reminds us that our obedience must be rooted in faith and our service grounded in humility. The spotlight belongs to Christ alone.Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.
