Fr. Mike focuses on trust today, specifically trusting God in difficult times. Like David, we need to learn to trust God in the midst of the battle, rather than waiting until the batter is over. Today's readings are 2 Samuel 15, 1 Chronicles 19-20, and Psalm 3. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

Persevering Through the Fire—Enduring Persecution and Tribulation reminds us that trials are not a sign of YHWH's absence—they are His refining fire. If we remain faithful in hardship, we are promised a crown of life and eternal reward. This message draws strength from Job, Yeshua, and the apostles, urging us to endure growing persecution and tribulation in the days ahead.Show Notes: In this powerful message, we explore how persecution, trials, and tribulation are used by YHWH to refine His people and prepare us for the return of Messiah. Scripture shows that suffering is part of the walk of faith—not a deviation from it.Highlights Include: Why trials are evidence of Yahweh's love and refining process (Hebrews 12:6) Job's story: tested by loss, vindicated in faith (Job 42:5) Yeshua's example of silent endurance (Hebrews 12:2) Tribulation, persecution, and the end times (Matthew 24:9) The reward for endurance: the crown of life (James 1:12) You are not alone in the fire. Stand firm. Yahweh is with you.

Nehemiah 6

2 Timothy 4: 2-8

Church Life               “Persevering Gospel Grace” (Acts 14:1-7)In Truth (v. 1)In Testing (vv. 2-4) Jo. 15:18-19,20c 18 “If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 ..... If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.Ro. 8:7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot.  Jer. 29:5-7 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.2 Cor. 12:12 The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and mighty works.1 Cor. 2:4-5 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men[a] but in the power of God.Lu. 12:51-53 51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”Phil. 1:12,14-15,18 12 I want you to know, brothers,[e] that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel,...  14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will.....  18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.In Trials (vv. 5-7)Jo. 16:33 I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”2 Tim. 3:12 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,Mt. 5:11-12 11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.1 Pet. 4:12-13 12 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 13 But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.

"What do you do when you're winning battles but losing strength?""You're conquering on the outside — but collapsing on the inside. Let's reset the temple.""Victory isn't enough if your soul is starving. This is your call to refuel."You can be winning battles in life and ministry — and still be completely worn out inside.In this powerful message from Week 5 of the This Is My Temple series, Pastor Joe Moss II shows how even bold spiritual leaders like Elijah (1 Kings 19:3–8) faced emotional burnout, exhaustion, and hidden emptiness after great public victories.Many high-capacity leaders today are winning publicly but breaking down privately — and it's often because we've neglected the daily refueling our temples need to sustain purpose.Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10:31 (fueling everything for God's glory), Galatians 6:9 (not growing weary in well-doing), and Isaiah 40:29–31 (renewing our strength through God), this message helps you:Understand the dangers of spiritual burnout and hidden exhaustion.Recognize the importance of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual fuel.See why leadership health matters just as much as leadership skill.Learn how purpose-driven living requires daily maintenance, not just big moments.Reset your temple through spiritual disciplines, real rest, and right habits.Build endurance to carry the glory over a lifetime — not just flash for a moment.If you've been leading on empty, serving while starving, or fighting while fatigued, this message is your call to reset your temple and refuel your life — God's way.Key Scriptures from today's message:

Persevering Love – Today is Good Friday, the time of solemn remembrance of Christ's crucifixion. The Rev. Aimee Baxter is delivering the Good Friday Meditation, and the scripture reading is the Fourth Gospel's account of the trial, crucifixion, and burial of Jesus. Rev. Baxter first referred to the series from several years ago, “WandaVision,” that built on the grief Wanda experienced in the death of Vision. Rev. Baxter said that many of us sit in loss and sadness, too, and she pointed out how much of that is demonstrated in the narrative of the trial of Jesus, then his crucifixion. Even Judas grieved his betrayal of Jesus and ended his own life. Peter, who denied even knowing Jesus, reacted in grief and rage in cutting off the ear of a soldier. And well beyond that, we can imagine the grief of the closest disciples of Jesus, and certainly of his mother who stood at the foot of the cross. But throughout the narrative, Jesus asserts the presence of the love of God and demonstrates it in his own acceptance of what he deemed must be. Here we are on Good Friday, participating together in a very solemn and disturbing remembrance, and yet we know that through it all there is God's beckoning love, and Easter is on the horizon. It is persevering love that will support us through our grief.

Today, we sit down with author and apologist Natasha Crain to discuss her new book, "When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square," and how Christians need to equip themselves to answer whatever questions culture hurls at them. We discuss how parents need to be more active in discipling their children to prepare them for the modern culture. We also ask the question of what having a biblical worldview actually means, and Natasha gives us some insight on how Christians can uphold their biblical principles in an increasingly hostile public square.

In a world where truth is often shaped by personal belief rather than objective reality, how do we discern what truly matters in our faith? In this episode, we explore the difference between essential, important, and personal elements of Christian belief.Using the analogy of plate-glass faith (rigid and dogmatic about everything) and play-dough faith (flexible about even core doctrines), we discuss how to navigate these extremes and pursue a faithful, Christ-centered life.We'll examine: • Personal elements (Pencil): Matters of individual conviction (1 Corinthians 8:7-8) • Important elements (Ink): Necessary for faithfully following Jesus, but not salvation issues (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) • Essential elements (Blood): Core gospel truths that define Christianity (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)Scriptures referenced: • Mark 3:1-6 – Jesus challenges rigid legalism • Matthew 23:23 – Jesus highlights “more important matters” of faith • 1 Corinthians (various passages) – Addressing church disputes and doctrine • Matthew 24:12-14 – Persevering in faith amid a shifting worldJoin us as we discuss the importance of standing firm in essential truths while practicing wisdom and grace in important and personal matters. How can we remain faithful in a time of cultural and theological confusion? Let's explore together.

: Darys is a seasoned runner with extensive experience in marathons and long-distance events. Drawing from personal experiences in running, Darys finds inspiration and motivation from faith, integrating spiritual lessons with physical discipline. Not only has Darys run numerous marathons, but their understanding of the synergy between athletic pursuit and spiritual reflection uniquely positions them as an insightful figure in faith-focused communities.Episode Summary:In this inspiring episode of the "Faith with Friends" podcast, guest Darys joins host Lisa Lorenzo to explore profound connections between running, faith, and spiritual growth. Darys reflects on their personal journey in running and how it correlates with spiritual lessons from the Bible, particularly from Psalm 119:32. The conversation extends to explore how challenges and preparations in running reflect similar spiritual disciplines that enhance personal and relational growth with God.As Darys narrates, the transition from walking to running signifies the speed at which we pursue God's commandments. This episode illuminates how life's trials like fear, doubt, and grief, akin to the obstacles one faces in a race, provide opportunities for strengthening faith. The discussion addresses how deliberate preparation and leaning into faith are crucial for personal and spiritual victories, drawing on biblical wisdom to underline the perseverance and resilience required in both life's races and the spiritual journey. As Darys eloquently puts it, "Forward is a pace," encouraging listeners to continually progress in their faith journey irrespective of hurdles.Key Takeaways:Interconnection of Running and Faith: Darys shares how running serves as a powerful metaphor for spiritual growth and obedience to God's commandments.Overcoming Life's Obstacles: The podcast highlights managing fears and doubts as essential in both running and faith, suggesting both as parallel paths to achieving growth.Preparation is Key: Just as in physical training, being spiritually prepared is crucial to overcome future challenges with vigor and determination.Persevering in Faith: Darys emphasizes the importance of pursuing God's path with zeal and fortitude, trusting in the enlarging work God does in their heart through challenges.Divine Intention in Trials: The conversation reassures listeners that obstacles are part of God's intentional design for victory and spiritual deepening.Notable Quotes:"I will run the course of your commandments, for you shall enlarge my heart.""The faster we go, the more we walk, the faster we go, and the more that God enlarges our hearts.""The pain is not wasted; if our training and preparation are intentional, it equips us for whatever lies ahead.""Forward is a pace," encouraging a steady progression through life's challenges."Let us look inside and always look to Jesus, the enlarger of our hearts."

It's Thursday, March 27th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Vietnam deny religious liberty The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom released its annual report on Tuesday.  The report advises the U.S. State Department to designate certain countries as Countries of Particular Concern for severe religious freedom violations. The commission recommended countries like Burma, China, North Korea, and Russia to remain on the list. It further recommended adding Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Vietnam. Nearly all the countries on the recommendation list are also on Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. McKenna Wendt with International Christian Concern said, “[We are] particularly grateful for [the report's] focus on the persecution of our Christian brothers and sisters around the world.” Hebrews 13:3 says, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them—those who are mistreated—since you yourselves are in the body also.” Christianity & Buddhism saw most losses from religious switching Pew Research released a new report on “religious switching” around the world. In many countries, about one out of five adults have left the religious group they grew up in. Christianity and Buddhism saw the most losses from this religious switching, while those with no religious affiliation increased. Religious switching was common across East Asia, Western Europe, North America, and South America. However, countries with large Christian populations, but with little religious switching, include Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, the Philippines, Poland, and Hungary. 10,000 Dutch were killed by euthanasia Sadly, nearly 10,000 people were killed in the Netherlands last year through euthanasia.  That's up 10% from 2023. Deaths involving psychological suffering were up 60%.  Bruno Waterfield, reporting for The Times, said, “There is concern that growing numbers of suicidal people, especially young people, are asking for help to die.” Proverbs 12:10 says “The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” Trump's signs Executive Order on Election Integrity In the United States, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order Tuesday entitled “Persevering and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.” The order directs states to require proof of citizenship when people register to vote in federal elections.  The order also stated, “Above all, elections must be honest and worthy of the public trust.  That requires voting methods that produce a voter-verifiable paper record allowing voters to efficiently check their votes to protect against fraud or mistake.” Births increased in states with abortion bans The National Bureau of Economic Research released a report on how abortion bans have affected birth rates. About a dozen states passed near-total abortion bans since the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022. This increased the distance to the nearest abortion mill from 50 miles to 300 miles for the average woman in those states.  Notably, births also increased by 2.8% in those states compared to what they were expected to be without the abortion ban.  Only 16% of Christians believe in Trinity Dr. George Barna released his latest research on American Christianity.  About two thirds of U.S. adults identify as Christians according to the report. However, only 16% of self-identified Christians believe in the existence and influence of each person of the Trinity. That number falls to 11% among the general population. People who read the Bible daily and attend church weekly were more likely to believe in God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Dr. Barna noted, “These findings about America's ignorance or rejection of the Trinity are simply another in a long list of examples of people living without the truths and life principles of God shaping their lives.” In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Partial solar eclipse this Saturday morning And finally, a partial solar eclipse is coming to parts of North America this week. The moon will pass between the sun and the Earth on Saturday morning for viewers in parts of the northeastern U.S. The sun and moon won't be perfectly aligned, so only part of the sun will be obscured.  The spectacle will also be visible in eastern Canada, western Africa, and Europe.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, March 27th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Persevering Through Lent: Rising After We Fall At the beginning of Lent, many approach the season with enthusiasm, setting spiritual goals and making promises. However, as time passes, some may struggle or fall short of their commitments. The Church encourages perseverance, reminding believers that even if they falter, they should rise and continue their journey in faith. Lent is a Time of Spiritual Renewal Lent is a time of spiritual renewal, symbolized by its Old English root meaning “springtime,” signifying growth and blossoming. By embracing the three pillars of Lent—prayer, fasting, and charity—souls can flourish and deepen their connection with God. The readings emphasize obedience to God's commandments. Moses instructed the Israelites to follow and teach God's laws, as keeping them not only grants life but also identifies believers as God's children. Jesus reinforces this by affirming that He came not to abolish but to fulfill the law. His life serves as the ultimate guide to living out God's commandments. Lent calls for humility and commitment, urging believers to allow Jesus to lead them. By doing so, they can experience true spiritual renewal, drawing closer to God and flourishing in faith.

In our journey to live a life that honors God, we often find ourselves navigating through a series of steps that can guide us toward transformation. Over the past weeks, we've explored five foundational steps, and this weekend, Terrence delved into the final four steps that will help us restructure our lives and embrace a new identity in Christ. 1. Restructuring Our Lives – Lean into God's grace and His word to guide transformation, allowing humility and flexibility to navigate challenges. 2. Persevering in Our New Identity – Stay committed despite setbacks, recognizing that obstacles are opportunities for growth. 3. Stewarding Our Lives for God's Glory – Reflect your devotion to God in how you manage your time, resources, and relationships. 4. Devotion as the Secret Sauce – Like an athlete training for a race (1 Cor. 9:24-27), devotion fuels the journey through discipline and self-control. To help us embrace a life of devotion and overcome sin, Terrence introduced a framework that has been helpful in his own journey: head, heart, and hands. Each step we take should consider these three areas of our lives. • Head – Let grace reshape your thoughts and mindset. • Heart – Let eternal hope motivate your actions and decisions. • Hands – Implement intentional structure and accountability in daily life. As we navigate our path forward, let us remember that healing is available. Whether you are dealing with past trauma or stubborn habits, God wants to heal you. Your story doesn't have to remain the same forever. Embrace your identity as a chosen child of God, loved unconditionally and called to a purpose.

Fear is inevitable, but letting it stop you isn't. In this episode, we're talking about how to push through fear, persevere when things get hard, and choose courage even when you don't have all the answers. I'm sharing actionable steps to help you navigate fear, including making a plan, writing it all down, getting your mindset right, sitting with discomfort, and taking steps forward even when you're unsure of the destination. If fear has been holding you back, this episode will give you the tools and motivation to keep going.

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness. Join Dr. Jeff as he chats with Natasha Crain and the call for Christians to unashamedly pursue righteousness in society out of our love for others.

Life's trials are inevitable, but how we respond to them defines our faith. In this powerful sermon, Pastor Donnie McClurkin reminds us that suffering, challenges, and even persecution are part of a Christian's journey. Referencing 1 Peter 4:12 and Ephesians 6:10-18, he encourages believers to see adversity as an opportunity to strengthen their faith.

In this episode of The Crosswalk Devotional, we explore the powerful theme of persevering in prayer. Life's challenges can sometimes make us feel like giving up, but God calls us to persist in our conversations with Him. We’ll discuss the importance of maintaining a consistent prayer life, even when answers seem delayed or circumstances feel discouraging. Through biblical examples and inspiring stories of faith, we’ll discover how perseverance in prayer can deepen our relationship with God and strengthen our resolve. Join us as we encourage one another to keep praying, trusting that God hears us and is at work, even when we can’t see it. Join the Conversation: We’d love to hear from you! How have you persevered in prayer during difficult times? Share your stories with us on social media @LifeaudioNetwork or via email. What breakthroughs or lessons have you experienced through your commitment to prayer?

“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.” (John 15:18 NLT) Jesus has already instructed His followers to love one another, to stay connected to Him (the true vine), and to produce fruit in the world. Now He wants us to understand that doing those things will cost us dearly. In fact, people will hate us and persecute us for them. We shouldn’t be surprised by it. We shouldn’t try to avoid it. We couldn’t if we tried anyway. There’s no safe path for followers of Christ. It’s not a matter of if the world will hate us; it’s only a matter of when. Our best strategy is to anticipate and prepare for it. But that’s easier said than done, isn’t it? Hate isn’t such a big deal when it’s used to describe a reaction to cauliflower or mosquitoes. But when someone talks about hating a person, it is a big deal. And when that person is you, it’s a really big deal. But our relationship with Christ is an infinitely bigger deal. And if hatred is the result, it’s a small price to pay. Especially when we consider what Jesus sacrificed for us. The world’s hatred shows itself in different ways. Maybe you’ve been mocked by friends because you no longer join them in certain activities. Maybe you’ve been the target of online attacks accusing you of intolerance. Maybe you’ve had your job threatened because you refused to compromise your beliefs. The aim is to silence us—or at least quiet us. To marginalize us. To make us look like radical extremists. To get us to compromise—to meet our enemies halfway. But we can’t do that. Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless” (Matthew 5:13 NLT). Ultimately, the enemies of our faith don’t hate us for our political affiliation or our stand on social issues. They hate us because we follow Christ. And they hate Him. So there’s something to celebrate in being hated. It means people identify us with Christ. They see Him in us. It tells us we’re doing something right. Jesus does more than warn us about being hated. He promises that the Holy Spirit, our Advocate, will face down the hatred with us, giving us strength and reminding us how loved we really are. Jesus refers to the Holy Spirit as “the Spirit of truth” (verse 26 NLT). The Spirit helps us recognize the lies of the world. He reminds us that if we follow Christ, we’re right, and our enemies are wrong. He reminds us that the alternative to the world’s hate is much worse than the hate itself. The alternative is compromising or abandoning our relationship with Christ. Persevering through the hate is a much better option. The hatred of the world is a good barometer of our spiritual well-being. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Catechism teaches about the effectiveness of prayer and how to persevere in prayer. Fr. Mike explains that although God already knows what we need before we ask, he wants us to pray, and he extends us dignity by allowing us to pray and ask for what we need. In the process of prayer, we are able to learn the heart of the Father, grow closer to him, and become more like him. The Catechism goes on to state that when it comes to prayer, it is always possible, a vital necessity, and inseparable from the Christian life. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 2738-2745. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
