Today Richard's guest is Russell Levenson, author and retired Episcopal minister. Russ shares:The longer I live, I've found I'm still kind of turning things over to the Lordship of Christ. And that is tough. And that requires humility. What am I doing with my time? How am I interacting with others? Does my relationship with others speak of one who walks in Christ?Prayer is the central avenue God uses to transform us. The primary purpose of prayer is to bring us into a life of communion with the Father. That by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are increasingly conformed into the image of the Son. Deep down in every human heart, there's a knowledge of God. And deep down in every human heart, there's a desire to communicate with God. Prayer is the main way in which we develop a relationship with our father in heaven. >>Watch on YouTubeRuss Levenson, Jr. was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama before a call to ministry in the Episcopal Church. After over 30 years of full-time service in congregations in Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Florida and Texas, Russ retired in June of 2024. His last post was Rector of St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston, Texas. With over 10,000 members, St. Martin's is the largest Anglican/Episcopal Church in the western hemisphere.Russ attributes his pastoral style and traditional evangelical theology to several mentors over the years including Bishop Furman Stough, The Reverends John Claypool, Massey Gentry, Fleming Rutledge, Paul Zahl and his long time friend and mentor, The Late Rev. Dr. John R.W. Stott.Russ is the author of several books including Witness to Dignity: The Life and Faith of George H.W. And Barbara Bush, with a Foreword by Jeb Bush, In God's Grip: What Golf Can Teach us About The Gospel, with a Foreword by Jim Nantz, Witness to Belief: Conversations on Faith and Meaning, which includes personal interviews with Denzel Washington, Amy Grant, Condi Rice, Sam Waterston, Nikki Haley, Jane Goodall and others, and was named a "top ten read in religion and spirituality" for 2025 by Publisher's Weekly.His forthcoming novel, "The Seal," (Sunstone) a spiritually-themed thriller deemed "not for the faint of heart," is scheduled for release in the late summer of 2026. He and his wife, Laura, of over 40 years have returned to Birmingham and three adult children and two grandchildren. >>Check out Russell's books
What's the one thing that would make today a good day?Psalm 16 says it's simpler—and deeper—than you think.In this teaching, John Ortberg walks through Psalm 16 and introduces a powerful idea: your life-scape—the inner world where your thoughts, desires, and attention live.Most of us drift through our days reacting to whatever comes. But Psalm 16 invites us to something different: “I have set the Lord always before me.”In this episode, you'll learn:- What shapes your inner life (your “life-scape”)- Why chasing “other gods” leads to restlessness- How to center your day around one transforming focus- What it means to live with a steady, unshaken heartThis is a practical invitation to live today with clarity, presence, and purpose.
We live in a world obsessed with predicting the future… and terrified of it.So how do you actually live when everything feels uncertain?In this teaching on Psalm 3, John Ortberg explores one of the most universal human struggles: uncertainty. We don't know what's coming next—and instead of trusting God, we often try to control, predict, or even “gamble” on the future.But Psalm 3 offers a different way. It begins in fear and pressure—real enemies, real anxiety—and moves toward trust, surrender, and confidence in God's presence.This teaching will help you name the “foes” in your life (both internal and external), bring your honest thoughts to God, and discover what it means to live with courage—even when the future is unclear.You'll also be guided to pray the Psalm yourself, learning how to turn anxiety into conversation with God.
As we continue thinking about how we can experience God's presence through our five senses, we are going to focus on feeling God's embrace through our closest relationships - family. It may be a parent or grandparent, a sibling or neighbor, or someone else who has served in a nurturing or mentoring role for you. God is so very faithful to bring the family of God around us to help us feel His embrace.God is very serious and cares deeply about family. So much so, the command to honor your father and mother is the fifth of the Ten Commandments and is linked to a long and prosperous life. Interestingly, He doesn't add, "...if they are honorable." It is a command without condition. Honor your father and mother.So what does this mean in practice?C A N D A C E C O F E Rauthor + speaker website | instagram | youtube | facebook

"... that is what life is really all about - our relationship with God. So it makes sense we will see God in everything when we learn to look for God in everything. And that, my friend, is what I want us to practice together. Because I want to be us to be a people who are green thumbs, not necessarily with plants but with our faith. I want us to be keen observers, taking in every opportunity to see and experience the wonder of God's love in everything around us everywhere we go. I want the blinders to be lifted from our eyes and for us to learn to see what is hidden in plain sight - the great, great love of the Father for all of us."For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. - Romans 1:20C A N D A C E C O F E Rauthor + speaker website | instagram | youtube | facebook
In the rush of our days and amidst all the sound pollution we experience, we become numb to sound, especially sounds which come from an invisible source. One we are prone to miss... It, too, is very real, a constant in our presence but we often miss it because we are not tuned in to listen. It's the voice of God.Even if we trust He still speaks to us today, we miss it in our waking and perhaps our commuting or working or various times throughout our day because our attention is on something else.C A N D A C E C O F E Rauthor + speaker website | instagram | youtube | facebook

Anxiety often arises when our attempts to control are undermined. Surrendering control to God is a fundamental aspect of faith. Counterfeit control burdens us and leads to anxiety. Jesus offers rest for our anxious hearts. We are called to be prayerful stewards of our lives. Daily battles with control are part of the Christian journey. Recognizing God's sovereignty brings peace in chaos. The process of sanctification helps us grow in surrender. Building a relationship with Jesus is key to overcoming control issues.

Joshua BoydThis message was recorded at a special event with multiple ministries coming together to bring Joy. Hosted by Crown Heritage Fellowship and Armed Ministries. Key Verse: John 15:11 (NKJV)“These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.”1. The Promise of Jesus' JoyJesus promised not only peace, but His joy—a lasting, divine joy.The world's joy is temporary and tied to circumstances; His joy remains.2. Don't Be Tossed by the WavesMany believers tie their joy to external events (economy, politics, etc.).James warns against being like waves—up when things go well, down when they don't.Our joy should be anchored, not tossed by the winds of culture.3. The New Testament Church ExampleEarly Christians thrived under hostile Roman rule.They didn't complain about government—they lived under a different Kingdom.Paul modeled joy even in suffering:Romans 1:10–12 — “I long to see you… to encourage you, and be encouraged by you.”Two key principles:Stay connected.Encourage each other.4. Main Point: Joy Is Connected to Relationships“Your joy—God's joy—is connected to the relationships in your life.”When joy is low, check your relationships.God uses people to strengthen us; the enemy uses people to drain us.Joy flows through healthy, life-giving relationships.5. Our Joy in God's PresenceJoy also comes from our relationship with God.David modeled this:Psalm 9:2 — “I will be filled with joy because of You.”Psalm 16:11 — “In Your presence is fullness of joy.”Worship brings the presence of God—and with it, joy.6. Practicing God's PresenceYou can experience His presence anywhere—at home, work, or in the car.Worship brings breakthrough.God delights in hearing His children sing.7. Jesus' Joy Was PeopleHebrews 12:2 — “For the joy set before Him, He endured the cross…”That joy was you.Jesus saw us as worth the suffering.His joy was found in relationship with His people.8. The Power of ConnectionEcclesiastes says: A threefold cord is not easily broken.Strong, godly relationships keep you standing when life shakes.Isolated cords snap—connected ones hold.9. Joy Strengthens FaithJoy and faith are linked:No joy → no faith.Strong joy → strong faith.Joy keeps you enduring through trials (James 1:2–4).Summary PointsJoy is not found in circumstances—it's found in relationships.Stay connected—to people and to God.Guard your joy like your strength.Be the steady light others can look to when the world grows dark.
In this episode, Swamiji explores the art of remembering God amidst the demands of work, family, and worldly stress, drawing profound insights from the Ishavasya Upanishad. Listeners will discover how spiritual tact, childlike faith, and inner awareness can help maintain divine connection throughout daily life. Through vivid analogies—from a mother's love to a cow's longing—Swamiji illustrates how unwavering remembrance transforms routine actions into sacred offerings. Building upon our previous episode about the ego trap in bhakti, this discussion deepens your understanding of how to cultivate spiritual resilience and emotional stability while engaging with the world. Tune in to enrich your journey into the philosophical depths of the Upanishads and elevate your quest for truth, devotion, and enlightened living.

Paul experienced much opposition in his life and ministry. He knew rejection from outside the church and desertion from within. What brought Paul through all of this was the consciousness of Christ's presence with him, strengthening him. Practicing God's presence is essential for every child of God, but it is also a remedy for chronic loneliness, which is at epidemic proportions in our society. In 2 Timothy 4:16-18, Paul reports that the Lord rescued him from 'the lion's mouth' and would bring him 'safely into his heavenly kingdom'. You may feel you're in the jaws of Satan but the Lord can set you free! You can know safety and confidence in the assurance of being in God's kingdom in this life and the next.

What sustained Joseph during all of his trials in Egypt? Certainly, a big part of it was his ongoing awareness of God's presence. Despite betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment, Joseph remained faithful, attentive to others' needs, and confident in God's presence and plan. Practicing the presence of God is about learning to live aware of being in the presence of God all the time. Theologians sometimes call this living "coram deo"—before the face or gaze of God. As we cultivate this awareness in our lives, it enables us to serve and thrive even while we endure, discern what's what as we make decisions, and to know we're never forgotten by God (even when it feels like it, and even when people do forget us).

Welcome back to the Daily Living for Christ podcast. I'm excited to begin a special four-part series recently planted in my spirit—a divine invitation to explore the power of spiritual intention and what I believe God is revealing to believers in this season.On Friday, March 21, 2025, the word “intention” dropped into my heart with weight and clarity. In a conversation today, the phrase “multiplication through subtraction” emerged, another Spirit-led insight I now see deeply connected to intention.

Free lance writer, editor, mother of two, Jenny Abel talks today on the preciousness of recalibrating your life, all for heaven's sake. Co-author with Kenneth Boa of the book, Recalibrate Your Life: Navigating Transitions with Purpose and Hope, Abel defines recalibration as consciously processing where we've been, where we are now, and looking ahead to where God may want to lead us. "This isn't something we only do at the end of our lives," Jenny says, "rather we do it on a regular basis to help us gain perspective: Are we numbering our days to gain a heart of wisdom?" Leave a comment below or on social media to be entered to win a copy of Recalibrate Your Life. Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12 Some gems: At the heart of recalibration is a pilgrim mindset. Before we can recalibrate, we need to calibrate: do we belong to God? Are our minds set on Christ? My relationship with God would not be what it is without my time in the dark valley of infertility. Knowing you are really going to die someday changes everything. Our career changes; the calling on our lives is never ending. Suffering prompts recalibration. My desire is to inspire others to know and hope in God and call them to gaze on God's beauty. Our pride, our day-to-day inertia, digging in our heels—all of these things keep us from numbering our days. Jenny Abel is an editor and writer for Ken Boa, coauthor of Recalibrate Your Life. Having sat under Boa's teaching since she was a teenager, she began working for him and his Reflections Ministries in 2013. She served as editor of the monthly Reflections teaching letter from 2017 to 2023. She cowrote Shaped by Suffering and A Guide to Practicing God's Presence with Dr. Boa and edited his book Life in the Presence of God. A freelance writer and editor, she founded Jenny M. Abel Editorial Services (www.abeleditorial.com) in 2011. She holds a BS in mathematics with a concentration in Latin American studies from Furman University, is a graduate of the Focus on the Family Leadership Institute, and resides in Charlottesville, Virginia, with her husband, Ben, and their two young children.

Yay! I'm not sure I'd decrease the butter, but that's just me. Thanks, Jenny! Grand Canyon Coffee Cake Part 1: ¾ c. canola or vegetable oil 2½ c. flour* ¾ c. sugar 1 c. brown sugar (light or dark) 1 tsp. nutmeg 1 tsp. salt Part 2: 2 tsp. cinnamon 2 eggs, beaten 1 c. buttermilk 1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda 1 stick butter Directions: Preheat oven to 350° F. Combine Part 1 ingredients and mix thoroughly (in an electric mixer). Take ¾ c. of this mixture and set it aside. Part 2: To the set-aside mixture, add 2 tsp. cinnamon. This will serve as the topping. To the rest of the Part 1 mixture, add eggs, buttermilk, powder, and soda. Pour into the bottom of a greased 9” x 13” pan. Sprinkle the topping crumbles on top, distributing evenly. Bake 25–30 min. or until toothpick comes out clean. Melt the 1 stick butter and drizzle on top of the hot cake. Serve warm for breakfast or anytime! *Note: I often use whole wheat flour for all or part of this case to make it healthier. I also decrease the amount of butter drizzled on top to about ½ to 2/3 of a stick.

But what does that mean, and how can we learn to experience and become more aware of God's presence in our own lives and youth ministries? James talks about his journey exploring and practicing the Examen Prayer and how it helped him be more aware of God's presence and purposes in his own life and the lives of those in his youth ministry.

Five years ago today I had a thought that forever changed my life: if God was so tangibly with me yesterday, I wonder if he could be tangibly with me today in this place. This thought unlocked the ability to practice God's presence not as a passive recipient having an experience, but as an active participant practicing a discipline just because I want to. It has worked! My life is forever different. Today I want to activate you in the same thing. Join me!
