PROTECT YOUR PEACE | The Todd Coconato Show How to Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org There is a reason the Bible speaks so much about peace. We are living in a world that is constantly trying to pull us into fear, anxiety, anger, offense, confusion, and distraction. But Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you.” The peace Jesus gives isn't dependent on circumstances. It is supernatural peace that can remain even when everything around you is shaking. On today's Todd Coconato Show, Pastor Todd shares 12 biblical reasons why protecting your peace is so important for believers right now, and practical ways to guard your heart and mind. We talk about why peace helps you hear God clearly, how fear can become a dangerous counselor, why you shouldn't make permanent decisions during temporary emotional storms, and how prayer, forgiveness, worship, Scripture, and trusting God can protect your inner world. Philippians 4:7 speaks about “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” guarding our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. That means you can have peace even when you don't understand what is happening. You can have peace before the answer comes. You can have peace while you're waiting. You can have peace in the middle of the storm. You don't have to respond to everything. You don't have to fix everything. You don't have to understand everything. You don't have to convince everybody. And you don't have to carry tomorrow's battles today. The world may be shaking, but you don't have to shake with it. Jesus is still in the boat. God is still on the throne. The Holy Spirit is still living inside of you. Protect your peace. Stay close to Jesus. Keep your mind stayed on Him. The storm does not get to determine the condition of your soul.

September 27th | Man the Wall | 1 Peter 5:6–11In week two of Man the Wall, Pastor Todd Kaunitz reminds men that the Christian life is a battle—and we have an enemy who is actively looking for opportunities to destroy what God has entrusted to us.From 1 Peter 5:6–11, Pastor Todd challenges men to be sober-minded, watchful, and ready to fight. But fighting well doesn't begin with trying harder. It begins with humility, surrender, and dependence on God.Discover the three things every man needs to fight well: God's power, God's people, and God's presence.The battle is real, but so is God's grace. He promises to restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish us.Men, will you fight? The fight doesn't start with standing—it starts with kneeling.Watch the video version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fbuyOYDY5s4

Pastor Todd discusses the importance of boundaries and protecting the truth of the person and works of Jesus

The Transformed Mind Mentality Session 2 | Pastor Todd Coconato Website: ToddCoconato.com Partner with Todd Coconato Ministries: ToddCoconato.com/give Your life will often move in the direction of your strongest thoughts. That is why the battle for your future is so often a battle for your mind. In Session 2 of The Transformed Mind Mentality, Pastor Todd Coconato goes deeper into what it means to break agreement with fear, limitation, negativity, and old patterns of thinking, and begin developing a mindset rooted in the Word of God. Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. That transformation isn't simply about thinking positively. It's about learning to think biblically. God has not called you to spend your life trapped in yesterday's failures, intimidated by today's circumstances, or afraid of tomorrow. He wants to renew the way you think so you can recognize His promises, walk in wisdom, overcome strongholds, and move confidently into your God-given assignment. It's time to stop allowing circumstances to dictate your mentality. Change the way you think, and it can change the way you approach everything. This is the Transformed Mind Mentality. #TransformedMind #ToddCoconato #ChristianLiving #RenewYourMind #Faith

Mark chapter one answers three of the most important questions anyone can ask about life and faith. The world is a spiritual wilderness, full of chaos and darkness, but the greater power belongs to God and is often unseen. Becoming a Christian is not about growing up in church or following religious routines. It requires a genuine crossing over, a repentance that changes allegiance and a belief placed fully in the good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ. Living as a Christian means adopting the priorities Jesus modeled, including worship, prayer, dependence on the Holy Spirit, grounding in Scripture, intentional relationships, and obedience. It also means joining His mission to make disciples who make disciples. The call is urgent and clear: repent, believe, follow, and bring others along.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: 1 John 2:18-22]

Send us Fan MailWhy should we care about people on the other side of the world when there are needs right in our own neighborhoods?In this episode of Ask A Pastor, Pastor Todd Barham tackles the question, “Why should I care about foreign missions?” From Guatemala and Kenya to our own communities, we explore what the Bible says about the Church's responsibility to reach the nations with the Gospel.Missions isn't simply an extracurricular activity for especially passionate Christians—it's part of the identity of every follower of Jesus. Jesus told His disciples to be His witnesses “to the end of the earth,” and Scripture reminds us that people cannot believe in a Gospel they have never heard.Pastor Todd discusses why missions begins in the heart of God, why local ministry and global missions should go hand in hand, and how God has entrusted ordinary people with the message of reconciliation. We'll also look at what it means to pray, give, go, and live sent wherever God has placed us.Whether you ever travel overseas or never leave your hometown, you are part of God's mission.Following Jesus isn't just about where we're going when we die. It's about who we're taking Jesus to while we're here.Tune in and discover why the mission of God is bigger than our church, our community, and our corner of the world—and how each of us can play a part.Support the show

The mission of God has always been for His Spirit to dwell with His people, and this truth is on full display in the opening chapter of Mark. From Old Testament prophecy to the baptism of Jesus, every detail points to one unified story of redemption. John the Baptist prepared the way through a baptism of repentance, but Jesus offers something far greater: the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in the life of every believer. Repentance is not a one-time event but an ongoing posture of the heart, a daily surrender to God rather than a reliance on self-justification. At Jesus' baptism, the entire Trinity was present and active, commissioning the Son for His mission and inviting us into relationship with God Himself. God does not need us, but He chooses to use us, calling us to plant, water, and trust Him with the results.https://www.ankenyfree.church

How Do I Find My Purpose? | Pastor Todd Coconato  Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give How Do I Find My Purpose? | Pastor Todd Coconato One of the biggest questions people ask is, “Why am I here?” You weren't created by accident, and your life is not without purpose. God has placed gifts, passions, experiences, and even certain burdens inside of you that can point toward the assignment He has for your life. On today's show, Pastor Todd Coconato breaks down how to discover your God-given purpose, recognize what may be holding you back, renew your mind, and begin taking practical steps toward the person God has called you to become. Purpose isn't just something you find. It's something you walk out through faith, obedience, growth, and action. If you've been feeling stuck, uncertain about your next season, or wondering what God wants to do with your life, this message is for you. Your past does not disqualify you. Your mistakes do not have to define you. God can use everything you've walked through and transform it into something that advances His Kingdom. It's time to stop merely existing and start living with purpose.  

Send us Fan MailPrayer, offered in faith and rooted in God's word, is the primary, powerful response to trouble. Perseverant, Scripture-based prayer opens the way for God to work in the impossible and to renew, heal, and restore.James 5:13-20 - main text: prayer in trouble, singing praise, elders called to pray and anoint the sick, confession to one another, the power of righteous prayer.1 Kings 17 (Elijah) - model of persistent, faith-filled prayer: drought, repeated prayer, and God answering (cloud then rain).2 Corinthians 5:21 - righteousness declared through Christ; our wrongs covered by Jesus.Philippians (quoted) - do not be anxious; present requests to God with thanksgiving.Hebrews (referenced) - perseverance is required so we receive God's promises.Shady Grove Info Click here for more https://www.shadygrove.net/events                                      FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/ShadyGroveWesleyanChurch

What would cause a megachurch pastor to lose his faith?In this episode of Mormon Stories Podcast, we sit down with former megachurch pastor Dr. Todd Phillips to explore his journey from a new Christian searching for a fresh start, to becoming a pastor and ministry leader, preaching to crowds of 10,000 people or more.Todd grew up without a strong religious background, but after finding Christianity in his twenties, he quickly immersed himself in evangelicalism. He went on to become a preacher and pastor at McLean Bible Church in Washington, D.C., and Lakepointe Church in Dallas. He eventually went on to direct a multi-million dollar nonprofit called The Last Well, which worked to bring clean water and Christianity to the people of Liberia. Todd walks us through the beliefs that once shaped his worldview, believing in Christianity as the one and only path to God. He also shares what it was like to build his life around those beliefs, rise through evangelical ministry, and eventually encounter questions that challenged the foundations of his faith.Along the way, Todd and John compare evangelical and LDS theology, discuss megachurch culture, and explore interesting theological questions/beliefs. This is Part One of Todd's story, with more to come as he explores what happens when a pastor begins to question the beliefs he once devoted his life to.Todd now shares his experiences and insights online as “The Deconstructed Pastor.”Todd's donations links and social accounts can be found ⁠here⁠.Also, as a special gift for Mormon Stories listeners, Todd has offered 2 FREE gifts - his "Deconstruction Guide" and "You Don't Need to Fear Hell" course.

September 6th | Is this the End? | Matthew 24 & Revelation 13In this message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz explores Jesus' warnings about persecution, deception, and His return in Matthew 24, alongside the powerful imagery of Revelation 12–13.Where is persecution coming from? Where is it headed? And how should followers of Jesus respond?As hostility toward biblical Christianity increases around the world, Scripture reminds us that the spiritual battle is real—but so is the victory of Jesus. The Dragon has been defeated, the enemy's authority is temporary, and Christ is coming again.Pastor Todd challenges the church to trust in Jesus' victory, rest in His sovereignty, and remain faithful without compromise.Are you a follower of Jesus—or merely a fan? And where might compromise be creeping into your life?

Mark 1:1 is only twelve words long, but those twelve words carry the weight of everything Christians believe about hope, salvation, and the identity of Jesus. Mark was written for people who fail, who doubt, and who keep missing the point, and it shows a Jesus who keeps walking alongside them anyway. The word gospel means good news, not good advice. It is an event in history that changes everything. Jesus is the fulfillment of centuries of expectation, arriving as prophet, priest, and king all at once. He is not derived from God. He is God, taking on flesh. In a world where so much feels uncertain, He is the one hope that is both authentic and transformational.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Colossians 4:7-9]

Is it wrong for a Christian to want more? In this message from Ecclesiastes 2, Pastor Todd Doxzon looks at Solomon, a man who had wealth, success, influence, and just about everything he could want, yet still ended up saying, “I hated life.” Through three words, Multiply. Mammon. Motivation., Pastor Todd breaks down the difference between healthy ambition and allowing success, money, or comfort to take God's place. If you've ever worked hard for more without stopping to ask why, this message will challenge you to take a closer look at what's really driving you.

Proverbs 31 is far more than a checklist for wives. It is a portrait of what wisdom looks like when it takes root in a person's life from the inside out. The woman described is rare, valuable, and deeply trusted by those closest to her. She works hard, works smart, and consistently turns her efforts outward toward others. Her speech is marked by wisdom and kindness, and her life is built on the fear of the Lord. Charm fades and beauty is temporary, but a life grounded in reverence for God produces something lasting. None of us can sustain this kind of life on our own strength, which is exactly why the gospel is central. Because Christ loved us first, we are freed and empowered to love others well.https://www.ankenyfree.church

08.30.26 | HEY DEVIL SHUT YOUR MOUTH | PASTOR TODD SMITH

Pastor Todd shares Friday's devotional podcast from Bible Fellowship Church. [Scripture: Colossians 2:1-7]

It is easy to drift through life without truly paying attention to what matters most. Proverbs 27 calls us to know the condition of our lives, just as a shepherd knows the condition of his flock. What we have today will not last forever, and the things that matter require tending. Being attentive means facing hard truths, receiving honest feedback, and responding to danger before it grows. It also means paying attention to our season of life and the unique demands it brings. Most importantly, it means giving careful thought to our spiritual lives, where our souls are headed, and what legacy we are leaving behind. The encouraging truth is that even as we are called to be attentive, God is already deeply attentive to us. He is the Good Shepherd who never loses track of His sheep.https://www.ankenyfree.church

August 23rd  | Is this the End?  | Matthew 24What signs should we be looking for as we approach the end of the age? In week two of the “Is This the End?” series, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 and explores the signs Jesus said would characterize the days leading up to His return.Jesus warns of increasing deception and confusion, destruction and chaos, persecution and hatred toward Christians, and spiritual desertion and apostasy. These things are not meant to cause fear, but to awaken us, strengthen our faith, and remind us to remain watchful and faithful.As Jesus describes these events as “the beginning of the birth pains,” Pastor Todd challenges us to consider whether we are spiritually prepared for what is coming—and, ultimately, whether we are ready for Christ's return.Are you ready?

August 16th | Is this the End?  | Matthew 24In the launch of the new series “Is This the End?”, Pastor Todd Kaunitz walks through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 and helps us understand the return of Christ with both clarity and hope.The end times can be a confusing or even frightening subject, but Jesus' message is ultimately meant to prepare and comfort His people. In this message, Pastor Todd explains the biblical framework of “the present age” and “the age to come,” showing how Jesus' first coming inaugurated God's Kingdom while we now live in the overlap of the two ages, awaiting the fullness of Christ's return.Looking at Jesus' teaching in the Olivet Discourse, Pastor Todd highlights four remarkable predictions that Jesus made—and that were fulfilled just as He said they would be: the destruction and siege of Jerusalem, the scattering of the Jewish people, the destruction of the Temple, and the proclamation of the Gospel to all nations.These fulfilled prophecies give us confidence that if Jesus' words about what would happen have come true, we can trust His promises about what is still to come.The question isn't simply, “Is this the end?” The greater question is: Are you ready for the return of Jesus?Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

The Battle Is Against Your Purpose • The Todd Coconato Show Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give and support this important work: www.ToddCoconato.com/give WHY THE ENEMY KEEPS FIGHTING YOU | The Battle Is Against Your Purpose Have you ever wondered why the resistance seems to intensify right when you're trying to obey God? Why does discouragement hit when you're finally moving forward? Why does fear show up when you're about to step out? Why do distraction, exhaustion, isolation, and unexpected opposition seem to come against the very area where you feel called? There may be a reason. The battle is often connected to your purpose. On this powerful episode of The Todd Coconato Show, Pastor Todd exposes 10 ways spiritual warfare attempts to derail believers from their God-given assignments. We'll talk about why discouragement can become a weapon, why delay does not mean denial, why the pit can come before the palace, how fear tries to shrink your assignment, why exhaustion often makes you want to quit, how isolation weakens you, and why distraction can pull you away from the very thing God told you to build. Look at Joseph. The dream came before the pit. Look at Nehemiah. Opposition came while he was building. Look at Esther. The crisis revealed why she had been positioned. Look at Elijah. Exhaustion came even after tremendous victory. The resistance doesn't necessarily mean you're going the wrong direction. Sometimes the resistance comes because you're moving directly toward your assignment. If you've been tired, discouraged, distracted, afraid, or tempted to walk away from something God placed in your heart, DO NOT QUIT. God is not finished with you. “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 NKJV

The Trauma Trap | The Transformed Mind Series | Pastor Todd Coconato  Website: www.PastorTodd.org To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Trauma can become a trap when yesterday's pain begins controlling today's decisions. Many people love God but are still living through the lens of what happened to them. Rejection, betrayal, abandonment, disappointment, and painful experiences can shape the way we think, react, trust, and even see ourselves. But Jesus didn't save you so that your past could continue holding your future hostage. On today's broadcast, we're talking about The Trauma Trap and how to recognize the patterns that keep people bound, renew your mind with the Word of God, forgive, heal, and stop allowing old wounds to dictate your next season. Your trauma may explain some things, but it does not have to define you. You survived it. Now it's time to stop living inside it. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3 NKJV

Guest Speaker: Pastor Kelly Goins (Lead Pastor of Watts Bar Church, Decatur, TN) I. Worship & Opening Focus Access to the Throne: Reflecting on her recent visit to the White House and navigating Secret Service checkpoints, Pastor Rhonda reminded the congregation that entering God's presence requires no security clearance or documentation—only a hungry heart coming before the King of Kings. Altar Ministry Focus: Prayer teams ministered to individuals seeking physical healing, relief from crippling anxiety, and divine direction, declaring the authority of Jesus over every diagnosis and fear. II. Harvest Announcements & Outreach Queen for a Day (August 29): Registration capped at 300 participants after filling within four days. Sponsorship drive for outreach purses continues in the lobby, coordinated alongside Susan Vernon. Midweek Wednesday Series: We Are Harvest Beyond the Walls continues at 7:00 PM featuring Pastor Tyrone Johnson presenting on DEAC Ministries and its outreach to Cleveland's homeless community. Men's Topgolf Event: Scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, in Chattanooga. Men interested in attending were directed to connect with Pastor Todd. Sermon Outline: "It's Time to Grow Up" Preacher: Pastor Kelly Goins I. The Post-Salvation Discipleship Gap Beyond the Altar: Praying a prayer to receive salvation is not the pinnacle of the Christian walk—it is the starting line. A Christianity that promises heaven while permitting believers to live unchanged on Earth is foreign to the New Testament. Identity and Activity: Quoting evangelist Shane Pruitt, true gospel transformation changes both identity (who you are in Christ) and activity (what you do daily). II. Clarifying Maturity Rules Don't Mistake Stupidity for Immaturity: Behaviors understandable in a toddler (e.g., eating dirt) become reckless or illegal when carried out by an adult. Certain spiritual behaviors permissible for a brand-new convert become unacceptable for long-term believers. Don't Mistake Age for Spiritual Maturity: Physical age or years spent attending church services do not equate to spiritual depth. New believers pursuing Christ passionately often demonstrate greater spiritual maturity than lifelong churchgoers. Posture vs. Promise: Unanswered prayers are frequently not a promise problem from God, but a posture problem from believers who refuse to step into adult responsibility. III. Heirs vs. Slaves (Galatians 4:1-7) The Delayed Inheritance: An immature child legally owns their father's entire estate, yet functionally lives no differently than a servant until reaching the age set by the father. God's Patience vs. God's Blessing: God will give what He promised because you are His child, but He cannot entrust it to you as long as you insist on remaining a child. Many believers mistake living under God's long-suffering patience for living under His active blessing. Principles vs. Presence: Living merely by moral principles differs from learning to live daily in God's intimate presence and hearing His voice. IV. Adulting 101 in the Faith Own Your Choices: Mature believers stop blaming government systems, past relationships, or upbringing, taking direct responsibility for their actions. Own Your Relationships: Adults guard their circle of influence, recognizing that close companions shape their spiritual future. Own Your Spiritual Growth (Hebrews 5:12-14): Mature Christians stop relying on pastors or podcasts to hand-feed them like infants on milk. They open the Word for themselves, consume solid food, and train their discernment to distinguish good from evil.

YOUR PROBLEM IS ACTUALLY YOUR OPPORTUNITY • The Todd Coconato Show Website: www.PastorTodd.org To support this ministry: www.ToddCoconato.com/give What if the very problem you've been asking God to remove is actually the opportunity God is using to promote you? In today's episode of The Todd Coconato Show, Pastor Todd delivers a powerful, Scripture-filled message that will challenge you to see your trials through the lens of God's purpose instead of your present pain. The obstacles you're facing today may not be signs that God has abandoned you. They may be the very tools He's using to strengthen your faith, expand your capacity, deepen your prayer life, and prepare you for the next season of your calling. In this encouraging teaching, you'll discover why resistance produces growth, how God stretches us before He enlarges us, why impossible situations create room for His supernatural intervention, and how your greatest struggle can become your greatest testimony. You'll also learn the biblical role of prayer, fasting, and seeking God with greater intentionality during difficult seasons. Drawing from Romans 5, James 1, Isaiah 54, 2 Chronicles 20, Philippians 4, Matthew 6, Jeremiah 33, Genesis 50, and Revelation 12, this message reveals a timeless Kingdom principle: God wastes nothing. Even when the enemy intends harm, the Lord is already working behind the scenes to bring about His greater purpose. If you're walking through a difficult season, feeling discouraged, or wondering why God has allowed certain challenges in your life, this message will encourage you, strengthen your faith, and remind you that your story is far from over. Your problem is not the end of your story. It may be the beginning of your greatest opportunity.
