Episode Summary:Your next season doesn't need more hustle — it needs more hearing.In this quiet yet powerful solo episode, Todd Tononi teaches you how to tune out the world and tune in to the voice of God.Because the answers you're searching for?They don't always come in a sermon or a podcast.They come in the still small whisper — the one that only speaks when you're still enough to hear it.Featured Scriptures:1 Kings 19:11–12 (NIV)“After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”→ The clearest guidance often comes when the noise has stopped.John 10:27 (NIV)“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”→ You are wired to recognize God's voice — it's not reserved for the “spiritual elite.”Psalm 46:10 (NIV)“Be still, and know that I am God.”→ Stillness isn't passive — it's the posture of spiritual knowing.Luke 11:28 (NIV)“Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”→ Hearing is only the beginning. Obedience makes it real.James 4:8 (NIV)“Come near to God and He will come near to you.”→ Proximity to God isn't earned — it's chosen.What You'll Learn:Why most people struggle to hear God's voiceThe difference between internal noise and divine nudges5 practical ways to begin hearing God more clearlyHow to build rhythms of listening into your daily lifeThe one thing God always honors: obedience to the last word you heardReflection Prompts:When have I heard God clearly in the past? What made it possible?What “noise” is most likely to drown out God's whisper in my life?What might God be saying right now — and what would obedience look like?Am I waiting for clarity that only comes after I move?Call to Action:Practice 5 minutes of intentional silence every morning this week.Choose one Scripture from today's episode and meditate on it deeply.Write down what you sense — don't filter it.Share this episode with someone who's navigating decisions and needs stillness.Final Takeaway:The voice of God is not distant. It's not reserved for the perfect.It's near. It's personal. And it's waiting to be heard by you — today.The key isn't turning up the volume of your life — it's turning down the noise.So pause.Breathe.Listen.Because in a world addicted to volume, you have the courage to follow the whisper.Keep showing up… with The Right Intention.

What can happen when we tie our identity to our outcomes? Many of us who listen to this podcast are very goal-oriented, not only that, but we may tend to want to overachieve. What can happen is that we are human! We may not hit a goal at the same time we used to. We may not be in the same season of life that we were once in, so we end up comparing ourselves to ourselves!

This message is about recognizing God's call, turning aside when He speaks, and understanding how a small act of obedience can shift your entire destiny.Through Scripture, stories, and lived experience, this episode explores:Why the burning bush wasn't about fire — it was about focusThe subtle ways God tries to get our attentionHow simple obedience can rewrite your lifeWhy being called goes deeper than just being savedHow ignoring small signs can lead to spiritual paralysisMatt also shares how one small decision at sixteen changed the entire course of his life — proving that the burning bush moments are all around us… if we'll stop and look.

Send us a textAfter the victory at Jericho, Israel expects an easy win at Ai—but the soldiers run away and Joshua falls before God, devastated. God reveals the reason: someone has disobeyed by taking things from Jericho that were meant to be destroyed. By God's choice, the tribes and families come forward until Achan is named. He confesses that he hid silver, gold, and clothes under his tent. Israel removes the sin from the camp, and then—following God's new plan—they return to Ai and win. This sobering story shows that hidden choices can hurt many people, and that God calls His people to honest hearts and obedient lives. Talk about it:Why did Israel lose the first battle at Ai?What did Achan take, and why was hiding it such a big problem?How did God help Joshua after the people obeyed?What is one honest choice you can make this week, even if it's hard?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe'd love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy's Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Does God still speak personally and clearly today, like he speaks to Phillip in Acts 8? Obedience to God's voice can lead to unexpected but life-changing outcomes.

In this message, we look at the story of Saul—the man who looked like everything Israel wanted in a king. He was tall, strong, impressive, and came from a wealthy family. But beneath the surface, his heart was already being eaten away by hidden flaws—spiritual neglect, insecurity, pride, and disobedience. Through Saul's story in 1 Samuel 9, we learn a sobering truth: it's not the big failures that destroy us, but the small compromises we ignore. Like termites behind a wall, little sins—small lies, pride, laziness, selfishness—slowly hollow out our spiritual foundation until everything collapses. This lesson challenges us to “sweat the small stuff”—to pay attention to the subtle warnings, the quiet compromises, the habits and attitudes that weaken our walk with God. It's a call to humility, repentance, and spiritual awareness before it's too late. God doesn't want us standing in the ruins of what could have been. He wants to rebuild us from the inside out. When we face our hidden sins and let Him restore us, what once was rotting can become new again.

In this episode of Root Issues, we explore one of the most profound Christological passages in Scripture: Philippians 2:5-13. We dive deep into the Christ hymn, examining what it means that Jesus "emptied Himself" and took on the form of a servant. Through careful exegesis of the original Greek text, we unpack the theological significance of Christ's humility and obedience unto death, and how His subsequent exaltation shapes our understanding of salvation and Christian living.

Crystal Rivers | Open Book | Oct 28, 2025 Build a life that can't be toppled by pressure. Don't chase moments of inspiration; cultivate depth. Choose to be planted—under sound teaching, in a real community, with real accountability—so the word doesn't sit on the surface but penetrates until Christ dwells in your heart through faith. Hold two truths together: God is good and God is Judge. He doesn't delight in evil, yet the moral fabric of His world includes consequences. Break a law—natural or spiritual—and you meet the result. That's not cynicism; it's clarity that pushes you toward obedience. Your greatest vulnerability isn't public scandal; it's offense. Offense feels justified, argues its case, and quietly reroutes your path while life looks “fine.” Treat offense like spiritual carbon monoxide: invisible, deadly, and urgent to clear. Wage a daily interior war: bridle your tongue, answer softly, cast down accusing thoughts, confess and forgive quickly (today, not tomorrow), and practice sincere—not performative—love. Obedience is not legalism; it's the purifier of the soul. As you obey, your judgments become cleaner, your compassion steadier, and your love more durable. Grow with patience. Depth takes time. Some battles require a command; others require a covering. Learn when to speak and when to hide in God (think Psalm 91): wisdom is better than war. Don't mistake gifts, money, or platform for maturity. Measure growth by inner steadiness, clean motives, quick repentance, and consistent love under pressure. Build a rule of life that trains your reflexes toward humility, purity, Scripture, prayer, and community—so when tribulation arises because of the word, you stand. Grow with patience. Depth takes time. Some battles require a command; others require a covering. Train discernment: speak when truth is being twisted or the vulnerable are at risk; hide in God when your ego is inflamed, when you lack inner peace or authority, or when trusted covering counsels waiting—wisdom is better than war. Practice a holy pause: pray → bless → act (without letting the sun set on anger). Welcome pruning—instruction, testing, correction—not as threats to your calling but as proof that you're being fitted to carry it. Refuse counterfeit maturity: gifts, money, platform, and busyness are not fruit. Measure growth by inner steadiness under pressure, clean motives, quick repentance, unoffended love, and the verdict of those who live closest to you. Build durable rhythms: daily Word and prayer; nightly examen; weekly Sabbath and confession/accountability; monthly fasting and intentional generosity to break self-protection. Keep guardrails: no secret channels, no gossip, no rehearsed accusations; answer softly—short and specific—and make amends quickly. Anchor yourself in a Paul–Barnabas–Timothy circle (mentor, peer, mentee). In warfare, abide before you bind—authority flows from union with Christ and unity with His body; some strongholds yield to sustained holiness and corporate agreement, not one loud moment. Let love draw the boundary lines—a pure heart, a good conscience, a sincere faith—so when tribulation rises because of the word, you don't scramble for stability; you stand.

In this episode, we explore what it truly means to build your life on a solid foundation. Many call Jesus “Lord,” but few actually live in obedience to His words. We'll look at how Scripture compares our lives to buildings—either grounded on the shifting sands of the world or the unshakable rock of Christ. With passages from Luke, Corinthians, Matthew, and Joshua, we'll uncover how our daily choices reveal who or what we truly serve, and how faith built on obedience can withstand any storm.

This message challenges believers to surrender fully to God, even when it costs comfort, control or personal plans. Obedience is costly, but its eternal reward makes every sacrifice worth it.

Discover your divine wiring and uncover what's REALLY keeping YOU from millions. “"You don't need more time, you need to make a decision. Legacy isn't a future goal. It's a present posture.” – Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon If you've ever felt the tension between who you are and who you're called to be, this episode is your bridge. In the final installment of the Legacy-Led CEO Series, Dr. Darnyelle delivers a sacred charge, a prophetic commissioning to build, lead, and live in alignment with the mantle on your life. It's the divine intersection of identity, instruction, and impact. If you're scaling a seven-figure business but still leading like an entrepreneur instead of a CEO… if your rhythm reveals a mismatch between your revelation and your reality… if your mission is massive but your daily decisions still minimize your power, this episode will disrupt, realign, and rewire you. We're exposing spiritual imposter syndrome, the distance between knowing and becoming, and the five decisions that collapse delay and commission your calling. Here's the truth: Revelation without embodiment is just spiritual entertainment. You can quote the calling, post the mission, and hashtag your movement, but if your daily rhythm doesn't reflect your divine identity, your business will always betray your true potential. The difference between the entrepreneur and the Legacy-Led CEO is not time. It's decision. Money amplifies whatever you haven't healed. Obedience prevents overworking. You'll walk with The Legacy-Led CEO Creed—a sacred activation to speak over yourself daily. Five critical decisions that shift you from calling to commissioning. A deeper understanding of how your nervous system, spiritual authority, and leadership rhythm impact your legacy. And the clarity to build what will outlive you.  Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to stop scaling chaos and start leading from your lineage by recognizing the distance between knowing and becoming, and making identity-driven decisions today ✔ How to shift from urgency to obedience in your business rhythm by understanding that revelation without embodiment is spiritual entertainment and legacy requires evidence ✔ How to collapse delay by embodying divine instruction instead of performing obedience, because the difference between entrepreneur and Legacy-Led CEO isn't time—it's decision ✔And so much more This episode is a call to step out of spiritual entertainment and into spiritual embodiment. This is not another motivational moment—it's a sacred instruction. Dr. Darnyelle walks you through the five key decisions that collapse delay, dismantle urgency, and commission your calling. She closes with the Legacy-Led CEO Creed—a sacred vow to anchor your identity, strategy, and soul. This is your invitation to stop waiting for clarity that only obedience will bring. To stop treating your mission like a to-do list and start building it like a tabernacle. You were not called to perform obedience—you were called to embody it. This final episode is an altar moment: press play, take a breath, and step fully into your assignment.

This episode centers on the theme of spiritual gifts and purpose within the Christian faith. Jim Davis emphasizes that every individual is uniquely designed by God and equipped with spiritual gifts to serve others, not to earn more love but as an expression of love for God. Drawing from scriptures such as Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 139, and 1 Corinthians 12, he encourages listeners to discover and use their gifts for the benefit of the church community, sharing personal stories and practical advice for healing from church hurt and finding joy through service. The episode concludes with an invitation to take a spiritual gifts assessment and a reminder that true fulfillment comes from serving with the gifts God has given.

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, host Justin Roethlingshoefer reframes “slowing down” as the doorway to breakthrough. If you've been chasing certainty, quick fixes, or the next hack, Justin shows why true progress lives on the other side of obedience—and how to reach it through his S.L.O.W. framework: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom.Blending behavioral science, stress physiology, and Scripture, he explains why our brains resist obedience (control, instant gratification, loss aversion, and misunderstanding God's heart), and how practicing stillness and listening raises HRV, calms cortisol, sharpens decision-making, and creates spiritual alignment. He also shares a personal story—choosing integrity over a “bigger” opportunity—that opened unexpected doors and confirmed a simple truth: obedience precedes blessing.Episode Highlights- Why We Resist Obedience: Control vs. trust, impatience & dopamine, loss aversion, and a distorted view of God's heart.S.L.O.W. Framework:S — Stillness: Downregulates stress, raises HRV (readiness), and opens receptivity. (Ps. 46:10)L — Listen: Quiet the noise to hear the whisper, not the shout. (1 Kings 19:12)O — Obedience: The hinge between hearing and harvest. (Luke 5:5)W — Wisdom: Fruit of consistent, values-aligned obedience; rewires the brain for clarity and resilience (neuroplasticity).- Science of Slowing Down: Calm-state decisions are more accurate and less reactive; trust signals lower cortisol and increase oxytocin/serotonin.- Story of Integrity: Saying “yes” to a smaller platform led to a greater calling—proof that character-driven obedience compounds.- Faith Lens: “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching.” (John 14:23) Blessing follows alignment, even when the path feels costly.Action Steps- Daily 5-Minute Stillness: Begin each morning with uninterrupted quiet—no phone, no notes—just breathing and presence.- Practice Active Listening: Journal any “nudges” you sense; ask, “What's the next right obedient step?”- One Act of Obedience Today: Choose a small, specific yes (or no) aligned with your values. Log it and the outcome.- Evening Reflection: Trace fruit back to prior acts of obedience; look for the 3–24 month “compounding” effect.- Reduce Reactivity: Use a simple wind-down (3-2-1: 3 hrs no heavy food, 2 hrs no work, 1 hr no screens) to keep cortisol low and decisions clear.Scripture & Studies Mentioned- Psalm 46:10 — “Be still and know…”- 1 Kings 19:12 — God's whisper, not the whirlwind- Luke 5:5 — Obedience → Overflow- Proverbs 3:5–6 — Trust → Straight paths- John 14:23 — Love → Obedience → Presence- Behavioral notes on loss aversion, dopamine & instant rewards, and calm-state decision quality (e.g., HBR insights; Stanford findings referenced in discussion)===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

What does baptism say about our freedom in Christ? Like Israel crossing the Red Sea, baptism pictures our deliverance from sin's power. We now walk free, no longer slaves, but alive in Christ.In this four-part series on the command “Baptize My Disciples,” we are invited to see baptism not as a symbolic obligation, but as a profound declaration of our union with Christ. Rooted in the authority and love of the risen Savior, baptism marks the believer's identity in Him, testifying that we have died to sin and been raised in newness of life. Through teaching, testimony, and Scripture, we are reminded that this command is both deeply spiritual and practically essential—anchored in Christ's power, pointing always to His glory, and flowing from a life of discipleship. Join Nate and Gabe as they explore Christ's command to “Baptize My Disciples.”Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Sermon Summary: “Jesus the Cornerstone” (Mark 12:10–11) “‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'” — Mark 12:10–11 Introduction: A Title That Tells a Story Coleton opened by recalling a childhood nickname—“The Master of Disaster”—a title that summed up his habit of breaking things and then turning to his brother's belongings for replacements. He explained how nicknames often tell us something true about who a person is. In this passage, Jesus gives Himself a title drawn from Psalm 118—the Cornerstone. This name, Coleton explained, reveals how Jesus wants to operate in our lives: as the foundation and guide upon which everything else depends. Coleton invited the church to explore two key characteristics of a cornerstone—and how they reveal what Jesus wants to be for us. 1. The Cornerstone Was the First Stone Laid A cornerstone was always the first and most important stone in ancient construction. It determined the direction, shape, and alignment of every other stone that followed. Builders would measure every subsequent piece against it. “Whatever the cornerstone looked like, the other stones would look like.” Coleton said that's what Jesus wants to be for us: the one who shapes our lives, directs our paths, and forms our character. He's not trying to control us—He's trying to lead and form us into His likeness. Coleton then painted a vivid contrast between our human tendencies and Christ's character: We Are Jesus Is Impatient Long-suffering Selfish Selfless Proud Humble Discontent Trusting Fearful Courageous Worried Peaceful Busy & stressed Unhurried Afraid of rejection Secure in the Father's love Lustful Self-controlled Unforgiving Infinitely forgiving Empty Full and overflowing “The virtues we're searching for,” Coleton said, “are not found apart from Him—they are found in Him.” Therefore, whatever or whoever is your cornerstone will shape your life into its image. Reflection Questions Coleton Posed: What is shaping your anger, your spending, your relationships? Who decides how you treat your spouse, raise your kids, or forgive others? What dictates your habits—Jesus or your desires? Coleton challenged listeners: If Jesus isn't the one shaping your decisions, then something else is. That “something else” has become your cornerstone. 2. The Cornerstone Was the Strongest Stone The cornerstone wasn't just first—it was also the strongest. It had to bear the weight of the entire structure and withstand storms. If it crumbled, the whole building collapsed. Coleton used this to illustrate why Jesus is the only foundation that won't fail: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation; the one who relies on it will never be shaken.” — Isaiah 28:16 Everything else in life—success, relationships, money, career, beauty, reputation—is fragile. If those things fall apart, so will we. But Jesus is the only foundation that can never be shaken. Coleton shared personally about how, early in his life, his relationship with Rainey was his cornerstone. When things were good, he felt secure. When they weren't, he was crushed. Later, as a pastor, his cornerstone often shifted to his church's success or how well his sermon went. When those things faltered, his peace faltered too. He said, “I can turn even my ministry into my cornerstone instead of Jesus.” To reorient his heart, Coleton often stares at Rembrandt's painting “Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee.”  He sees himself among the disciples, frantically trying to steady the ship—the church—while Jesus calmly rests amid chaos. Then he remembers Jesus' question: “Why are you so afraid?” (Mark 4:40) Coleton said, “If He's not worried, why should I be? If He's not shaken, why should I be?” That truth reshapes everything. He invited listeners to apply that same faith to their own circumstances: If your job is shaking—Jesus still promises to provide. If the government is shaking—Jesus still reigns. If your children are struggling—Jesus loves them more than you do. If your health is declining—Jesus has already conquered death. Coleton said, “Whatever shakes your life reveals your cornerstone.”  But when Jesus is your cornerstone, even the fiercest storm can't topple your soul. 3. How to Make Jesus Your Cornerstone Coleton closed by teaching from Matthew 7:24–27, where Jesus says that the wise builder is the one who hears His words and puts them into practice. “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock… The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew… yet it did not fall.” Simply calling Jesus “Lord” isn't enough. Obedience is what builds a life on Him. Coleton said, “There are people walking around calling Jesus their cornerstone while not doing what He says—and then wondering why their life is falling apart. It's not the cornerstone's fault.” He illustrated this with his son Teddy's LEGO set. Without following the instructions, the pieces might form something, but not what it was designed to be. Likewise, our lives can “look like something” without being what God designed. To make Jesus your cornerstone: Put His words into practice.  Don't just listen—live them. Spend more time with Him.  “You become like who you're around.” The more time you spend with Jesus—in Scripture, prayer, and reflection—the more you'll begin to resemble Him. Make alignment adjustments.  When the Spirit convicts you of areas where Jesus isn't shaping you, repent. Realignment isn't punishment—it's protection. He ended with a simple call: Make Jesus your cornerstone—because only He can carry the weight of your life. Discussion Questions What are some “cornerstones” that have shaped your decisions, emotions, or identity besides Jesus? How does Jesus being the first and strongest stone reshape your understanding of what it means to follow Him daily? When was the last time your life felt like it was “shaking”? What did that reveal about your foundation? What's one area of your life where you need to realign with Jesus' words this week? What habits or practices could help you spend more time with Jesus so that your life increasingly reflects His image? Key Takeaway: Your life will be shaped by whatever your cornerstone is. Only Jesus can bear that weight and make your life stand firm.  

Summary In this sermon from Romans 7, Dr. Michael Easley explores what it means to die to the law and live in the Spirit through Jesus Christ. Using Paul's illustration of marriage, Dr. Easley explains that the law only has authority over the living—once a person dies, they are free from its jurisdiction. Likewise, believers who have died with Christ are no longer bound to the law's condemnation but are joined to Him to bear fruit for God. Dr. Easley takes time to address divorce and remarriage, acknowledging the pain, complexity, and lifelong consequences that often accompany them. While God hates divorce, it is not an unforgivable sin, and believers are called to respond with grace and mercy toward those who have suffered through it. Ultimately, he reminds listeners that reconciliation, humility, and forgiveness are essential for any marriage to thrive. The sermon concludes with a clear call: the law cannot save, but it can warn. Righteousness comes not through rules but through relationships—being joined to Christ in His death and resurrection. Freed from the condemnation of the law, believers are empowered by the Spirit to live in obedience and holiness that bear lasting fruit for God. Takeaways The law only has jurisdiction over the living; death in Christ frees believers from its condemnation. Romans 7 teaches that we are joined to Christ to bear fruit for God, not bound to the old law. Divorce grieves God but is not beyond His forgiveness or grace. The church must show mercy and compassion to those who have experienced brokenness. Obedience to God's moral law, empowered by the Spirit, sanctifies believers, conforming them to Christ's image. The same resurrection power that saves us empowers us to live holy, Spirit-filled lives. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

Obedience is not the cornerstone, nor should it be the primary goal for a new covenant believer. What is the believer's goal? In a perfect world, we would all end up with the same answer. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, and the church doesn't teach a perfect doctrine; therefore, our answers are all over the board. Jesus is our ultimate goal. Jesus is the cornerstone, and a relationship with Him should be the ultimate objective of the believer. Obedience and the fulfillment of God's divine promises are the offspring of grace and faith. 

Life is full of moments that leave us feeling stuck, broken, or overwhelmed by the impossible. Whether it's a health crisis, a fractured relationship, financial stress, or the weight of our own failures, we all encounter situations that seem beyond hope. Yet, in the midst of these impossibilities, Jesus stands as the one who not only sees our pain but has the power to heal and restore in ways we can't imagine. The story in Luke 5 of the paralyzed man and his friends reminds us that Jesus is not just a remarkable teacher or miracle worker—He is utterly unique, the only one with authority to forgive sins and transform lives from the inside out. When the paralyzed man's friends couldn't get through the crowd, they tore open the roof to bring him to Jesus. Their determination is a picture of the kind of faith that refuses to let obstacles keep us from the only one who can truly help. But notice that Jesus doesn't start by healing the man's legs; He begins with the heart, declaring, “Your sins are forgiven.” This reveals a profound truth: our deepest need isn't just for our circumstances to change, but for our hearts to be made whole. Sin is not just a list of bad choices—it's a condition that affects every part of us, separating us from God and distorting our motives, thoughts, and actions. No amount of good works or self-improvement can bridge the gap between us and a holy God. The standard isn't just being better than others; it's perfection, and none of us can reach it on our own. That's why Jesus came—not to give us a list of steps to climb up to God, but to come down to us, to take our place, and to offer forgiveness and new life as a gift.
