Will you be ready to stand at the judgment seat of Christ?

Dr. Marlin Lavanhar continues All Souls' summer series on living in America with a personal reflection on discernment, loss, and finding direction.Rev. Dr. Marlin Lavanhar turns the mechanics of an actual GPS — receiver, transmitter, ground system — into a map for navigating life's biggest questions.Drawing on his own experience of grief after the death of his daughter Sienna, the story of a young man facing a life-altering diagnosis, and the practices that keep us grounded before crisis hits, he makes the case that finding our way isn't a solo drive — it's a system, built together, long before we need it.QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER:How do you know if you're headed the right direction?What helps you recover after a devastating loss?Who tells you the truth when you can't see it yourself?What practices reignite you when you're running on empty?CHAPTERS:0:00 Opening0:48 The Road Trip1:21 Life's Big Questions2:14 The Spiritual GPS5:00 Bill's Diagnosis7:52 Losing Sienna11:15 Receiver, Transmitter, Ground13:06 Something Bigger15:05 Blocked Signal19:15 Time to Listen21:02 Who Tells You the Truth26:16 Recalibrate

Are you using every method available to spread the gospel? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Matthew 28 and Mark 16 from the KJV to remind us that God's command to go into all the world has never changed — but the methods we use have expanded far beyond anything the early church could have imagined.You might be asking: Does God only use preachers and missionaries to spread the gospel? What if I am unable to travel or go in person? Can something as simple as a text message or a phone call really be part of God's plan? Am I fulfilling my responsibility as a believer?In this devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster walks through three practical, Bible-rooted methods every Christian can use right where they are:- Prayer — asking God to send laborers into the harvest (Matthew 9:36-38)- Giving — supporting the spread of the gospel according to your ability (Acts 11:27-30)- Going — being willing and available when God callsThis is part of the ongoing series on God's plan to evangelize the world.

EP318: You Can Trust Yourself to Begin Again — Your Quiet Moment PodcastSometimes the bravest thing you can do isn't starting over. It's trusting yourself enough to try again — without a plan, without a guarantee, and without anyone's permission but your own.In tonight's episode, we explore the quiet power of beginning again. Not the dramatic kind — not the burn-it-down, fresh-start kind — but the gentle, daily kind. The kind where you wake up and decide that today doesn't have to look like yesterday.

You are not your past decisions. You are the person who is still here, still breathing, still capable of choosing something different.Tonight's Affirmations:I am allowed to begin again.My past does not define my future.I trust myself to find my way.Every day is a chance to start fresh.I don't need to have it all figured out.I am brave enough to be a beginner.The person I am becoming is worth the wait.I choose to trust the process of my own unfolding.Timestamps:0:00 — Opening0:45 — Settling In1:30 — The Theme: The Quiet Power of Beginning Again3:00 — The Theme Part Two: You Are Not Your Past5:00 — Breathwork6:00 — Affirmations7:30 — Closing9:00 — Network Shoutout#YourQuietMoment #SelfCompassion #BeginAgain #FreshStart #Breathwork #Affirmations #HealingJourney #HustleStudiosDISCLAIMER

How is nobody talking about this series?!Warlock's Sun Rising by Damien Black continues one of the most impressive epic fantasy stories I've discovered in recent years. After being thoroughly captivated by Devil's Night Dawning, I had high expectations going into Book 2 — and somehow this sequel exceeded them. Bigger stakes, deeper character work, fascinating villains, powerful faith elements, shocking twists, and multiple jaw-dropping ending moments make this one of the strongest fantasy sequels I've read in quite some time.In this spoiler-lite review, I discuss what makes Warlock's Sun Rising such a compelling read, why fans of classic epic fantasy should take notice, and why Damien Black's Broken Stone Chronicle deserves far more attention than it receives. If you enjoy sprawling fantasy worlds, intersecting storylines, memorable characters, and a unique clash between divine power and dark magic, this may be a series you need to add to your TBR immediately.Have you read Warlock's Sun Rising or Devil's Night Dawning?

There is a version of the story you tell where you are perfectly in the right and they are completely in the wrong. But holding onto that resentment hurts you more than it hurts them. Pastor Adam Burton explains how the book of Philemon challenges us to welcome those who have wronged us.

What if a sequel didn't just continue the story… but completely reframed it?Today, I'm diving into The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi—and let me tell you right up front: this is NOT just Old Man's War 2.

What does it really mean to call someone a hypocrite — and are we all guilty of it?This week on The Side Bar Podcast, Leise and Royce get into the contradictions people love to ignore… especially when it benefits them. From personal accountability to politics, propaganda, and perception — nothing is off limits.We talk about whether people can actually change, why we keep comparing different eras like they're equal, and how narratives get shaped depending on who's telling the story. From boycott debates to the SAVE Act, to the way “safety” gets used as a gatekeeping tool — this episode really asks: are you thinking for yourself, or just picking sides?And of course… we had to get into that perceived innocence conversation.Yeah. That one.Timestamps:0:00 – Intro music0:30 – Opening0:50 – “I speak hypocrite…”3:04 – Can people really change?4:45 – Should we still be comparing different eras?15:21 – Using propaganda when it fits your narrative21:50 – The Target boycott drama31:54 – Use your own brain — seriously38:11 – The SAVE Act48:55 – “Safety” as a tool for exclusion51:11 – “God don't play about me” people1:12:49 – Why do white men get perceived as innocent?1:13:54 – Movies are doing a lot for no reason1:25:26 – Outro
