In a season of Stillness, but I'm still here. ❤️
Life is fragile and fleeting—Scripture reminds us time and again that our days on earth are short, like a breath or a passing shadow. Yet, as our daily prayer and devotional remind us, in a world that measures meaning by years and accomplishments, we often forget just how temporary life really is. Lynette Kittle reflects on the sobering reality that every breath is a gift, urging us to live intentionally for eternity rather than the moment. When tragedy strikes or we’re reminded of death’s suddenness, it can shake our sense of security. But God never meant for these reminders to fill us with fear; instead, they call us back to perspective. James 4:14 tells us that our lives are “a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes,” not to diminish our worth but to reorient our focus toward what truly matters—living each day to glorify Him. Because of Christ, we do not have to fear death. Jesus tasted death for us (Hebrews 2:9) so that we can move from life to eternal life in His presence. Earth is not our permanent home. We are citizens of Heaven, created for something far greater than the temporary world we see. As believers, we can live with both urgency and peace—urgency to love, serve, and live for God today, and peace knowing our forever home is secure with Him. Let every breath be a reminder of His grace and an opportunity to glorify His name. Today's Bible Reading: "They are like a breath; their days are like a fleeting shadow." – Psalm 144:4 Key Takeaways Life is fleeting, but its brevity invites us to live with eternal purpose. God doesn’t want us to fear death—Christ has already conquered it. Our true home is in Heaven, where we will dwell with God forever. Each day is a sacred gift to glorify God and point others to His hope. Let’s Pray Together Dear Father, thank You for the sacred gift of life. Help me to remember how short and precious it is—not to fear its brevity but to live each day with eternity in mind. Thank You for the promise of eternal life through Jesus and for preparing a place for me in Your presence. May my life bring glory to You in every breath I take. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In a fast-paced world driven by ambition and endless to-do lists, it is easy to lose sight of what truly matters. In this solo episode, Darius Mirshahzadeh dives deep into the power of forgiveness, gratitude, and living with intention. Sharing personal reflections, Darius introduces the transformative practice of the Ho'oponopono prayer—an ancient Hawaiian practice for forgiveness and reconciliation that fosters healing and inner peace. He explores how aligning our actions with our values can create meaningful impact and how embracing vulnerability allows us to show up fully for ourselves and others. In this episode, Darius will discuss: (00:00) Reflections on 2024: A Year of Change (07:23) Navigating Relationships: The Importance of Showing Up (16:01) Practicing Forgiveness: The Ho'oponopono Prayer (19:24) Gratitude and Life's Little Moments Sponsored by: Brevo: Head over to brevo.com/greatness and use the code greatness to get 50% off Starter and Business Plans for the first 3 months of an annual subscription.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comII Timothy 4Paul concludes with a solemn charge to Timothy to preach the Word with urgency, whether it is convenient or not. He warns that a time will come when people will reject sound teaching and seek teachings that suit their desires. Timothy is called to remain steady, endure hardship, and fulfill his ministry fully. Paul reflects on his own life, stating he has fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith. He looks forward to the crown of righteousness that the Lord will award to all who long for His appearing. Paul closes with personal remarks, requesting companionship, providing updates on other believers, and affirming that the Lord stood by him, even when no one else did. He ends with confidence in God's faithfulness and eternal glory. We are reminded that our calling is not shaped by comfort or applause, but by faithfulness to God's truth. We may be tempted to adjust our teaching to fit the desires of others, but we are called to speak what is true, whether or not it is popular. This chapter challenges us to stay steady, to carry out our responsibilities with diligence, and to endure difficulty without losing heart. Paul's example encourages us to finish well, fully trusting in the triumphant return and reward of Jesus Christ. More than just believing, we are to remain committed through every season. When others drift, we must stay anchored. When we feel alone, we must remember that the Lord stands with us. Benevolent God, help us to remain faithful in a world that often turns away from truth. When we feel tired or discouraged, give us the strength to continue. Teach us to speak with clarity, to love with courage, and to endure with hope. Let us not measure success by applause, but by allegiance to You. Remind us that You are near, even when others leave. You are the one who equips, who defends, and who rewards. May we finish our race with joy, with our hearts set on Your return. Keep our eyes on the crown that does not fade. Thought Questions: What helps you boldly share truth even when it's “out of season”? Why is it sometimes difficult to stay patient and gentle in such environments? What kept Paul faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ no matter what he faced? How do you use these truths and promises to help you daily? How has the Lord stood with you in times of need, even when others did not? Do you believe God will rescue you and bring you safely home?

Charles had sunk into depression. Despite having a loving family, he felt all alone. “The overwhelming pressure of supporting them was continuing to build,” he said, “and I felt like taking my own life.” Surprisingly—or perhaps not—Charles Morris also led a Christian ministry. A wise friend told him that when faced with depression, “We should soak in the Psalms.” Charles got through his deep despondency by reading relatable Bible passages, accepting prudent medical care, and pouring his heart out to God. The Psalms are often brutally honest. Heman the Ezrahite wrote one of the most bitter. Hope is found only in the opening lines: “Lord, you are the God who saves me” (88:1). Heman seems to accuse God: “You have put me in the lowest pit” (v. 6). “You have overwhelmed me” (v. 7). He had questions: “Why, Lord, do you reject me?” (v. 14). “Are your wonders known in the place of darkness?” (v. 12). Most psalms end with a message of hope. Not this one. Heman concludes, “Darkness is my closest friend” (v. 18). This is the prayer of a truly desperate man. Yet Heman directed all his pain to God. When we read psalms such as this one, we realize we’re not alone. Others have experienced desperate feelings and have dared to put voice to them. God could take such honesty from Heman. He can take it from you too. He’s there, and He’s listening.

Nighttime can stir up unease. As our daily prayer and devotional remind us, when the world quiets down, our minds can fill with fears and worries that daylight had kept at bay. In Psalm 91, the writer paints a vivid picture of God’s protective care—His wings stretched wide, sheltering His children in a place of warmth and safety. It’s a comforting image for anyone who lies awake, anxious about what might come. Amanda Idleman reminds us that we can rest securely beneath those wings. God’s faithfulness is not fragile or fleeting; it’s our shield and rampart, our steady defense when darkness falls. His promise is clear—He sends His angels to guard us, He hears our cries for help, and He delivers us from fear and danger. Amanda shares from her own story of witnessing God’s protection and redemption in her family’s life. Through foster care and adoption, she has seen how God covers His children—restoring what was broken, protecting the vulnerable, and bringing light into the darkest places. That same care and covering are available to all who call on His name. When the night feels heavy, and fears start to whisper, remember that God’s light is greater than any darkness. He never leaves, never sleeps, and never abandons His people. You are safe beneath His wings. Today's Bible Reading: "He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart." – Psalm 91:4 Key Takeaways God’s protection is constant—He covers us with His wings and surrounds us with His angels (Psalm 91). His faithfulness is our shield and peace in the darkest hours. When we feel fear rise at night, we can declare His promises and rest in His presence. The same God who redeems broken stories guards your heart and home. Let’s Pray Together God, thank You for being my protector and refuge. When night falls and my thoughts turn anxious, remind me that I am safe under Your wings. Calm my heart and fill my home with Your peace. Let Your faithfulness be my shield, and Your angels stand guard around me and my loved ones. Thank You that darkness never has the final word—You are my light and salvation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

In this Bible Story, we learn about Jesus' stories of thankfulness and humility. Jesus healing lepers, ministering to his disciples, and rebuking the Pharisees. In all these interactions, Jesus shows that he is driven by compassion. This story is inspired by Luke 17:11-19; 18:1-14. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 18:13 from the King James Version.Episode 203: As Jesus was nearing Galilee again, a group of lepers cried out to him for mercy. Filled with compassion Jesus healed all ten of them. But only one returned to thank him. Later that evening Jesus' disciples began to ask Him about prayer. In response, He told them of a Judge who feared neither God nor people and a widow who would not give up. Eventually, the Judge gave up and granted the widow's request. Then He reminded both us and the disciples to be persistent in prayer because God is much more compassionate than this judge. The next day He taught the crowds a lesson on what it means to be humble in the sight of God.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Later in the episode, we’ll hear from Struggle Jennings, an independent music artist, father of seven, and prison ministry leader. Struggle shares how growing up in a famous musical family didn’t shield him from tragedy and poor choices, but how God used even the hardest seasons, including prison, to rebuild his life.

In [a difficult] season, [my husband and I] needed to lean on each other and on God and get through it, and we realized we actually needed to let people in.” - Jenny Marrs "[God] works through us; He works through our inadequacies, and often when we don't want to do it, He can—even if we think there's no way." - Jenny Marrs "Identifying and spotting God's hand in all of it–the mundane, the hard, the beautiful, the mountain tops—all of those different experiences—we can spot His hand in that." - Jenny Marrs "I want my kids to be able to look back at the faithfulness of God in their lives that they didn't even know about before they were born and have that moving forward." - Jenny Marrs “I was introduced at an early age to both sides of the tracks—seeing Waylon with the security guards and the Cadillac and the Jaguar and the big house and [being a] successful country music icon. And then going back to my dad’s side of the family that lived in West Nashville who worked nine to fives and lived right at that poverty line.” - Struggle Jennings “I was caught up in that world—gangs and drugs and a lot of the beliefs like, Feed your family by any means necessary. It’s okay to do wrong if you’re doing it for the right reason—those types of things that I had to eventually strip myself of.” - Struggle Jennings “Many times God showed His face and showed His favor, even though I didn’t know why, because I didn’t understand what my purpose was.” - Struggle Jennings “I knew that I finally had to strip down and take full responsibility and accountability and say, ‘This is my fault. I can’t blame the judge. I can’t blame the person that snitched on me. I can’t blame my circumstances or the cards I was dealt. I have the opportunity to turn this around.’” - Struggle Jennings “I just really felt that God had a plan for me, and I wasn’t going to take it for granted.” - Struggle Jennings “Even the times that I had doubts, it was the responsibility to God and to my fans and to my children [that kept me going]. When you’re purpose-driven and you have a reason for getting up every day and you know you’re living in God’s glory and God’s mercy, you have that strength and that confidence that I’ve made it through a lot of things and I don’t know what’s ahead of me, but I know that if I keep moving in the right direction with love in my heart and God in my heart, it’s going to work out okay. God gives His greatest warriors the toughest battles.” - Struggle Jennings ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comII Timothy 3 Timothy is warned that difficult times will come in the last days. People will become lovers of self, money, and pleasure rather than lovers of God. They will appear religious but will deny the true power of godliness. Sadly, they will progress from bad to worse. Paul urges Timothy to avoid such individuals, especially those who deceive others while resisting the truth. He reminds Timothy that persecution is a reality for all who desire to live godly lives in Christ Jesus. However, Timothy is encouraged to remain steadfast in what he has learned, holding firmly to the Scriptures that have shaped his faith since childhood. Paul affirms that all Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, correcting, and training in righteousness, equipping believers for every good work. We live in a world that often values self above truth. Some hold to a form of godliness but are led by the adversary. We must remain alert to the attitudes and behaviors Paul warns against, guarding our hearts from pride, greed, and spiritual compromise. We are called to sincerely pursue godliness, even when it leads to hardship or opposition. The foundation for this life is the Word of God. Scripture is not just information; it is the voice of God shaping our minds and transforming our actions. We must hold tightly to what we have learned, remain rooted in truth, and let the Word train us to live with purpose, integrity, and a deep commitment to the way of Christ. Holy Lord, in a world filled with confusion and pride, help us to stand firm in truth. Guard our hearts from the temptation to follow what is popular instead of what is right. Fill us with a deep love for Your Word, and give us wisdom to recognize what is false. Strengthen our faith when we face difficulty, and remind us that godliness is worth every cost. Help us learn to let Scripture shape our thoughts, guide our choices, and prepare us for every good work You have planned. May we reflect Christ in how we live, speak, and serve. Thought Questions: How can people claim godliness but also be selfish and destructive? How do you avoid such a dangerous and tragic departure from Jesus? Is it true that “all who desire to live godly in Jesus Christ will be persecuted”? What persecution or sacrifice are you facing for your faith? How has the Scripture recently impacted your life? What are you learning? How are you being reproved and corrected? Is God training you?

From bipartisan cooperation to prayerful gratitude, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand joins Drew Collins to reflect on joy, wisdom, and love of enemy in a divided nation—offering a vision of public service grounded in the way of Jesus.“Jesus defied expectations—he welcomed the stranger, he fed the hungry, he loved his enemies.”Together they discuss the role of faith in public life amid deep division. Reflecting on Jesus's call to love our enemies and the Apostle Paul's exhortation to “rejoice always,” she describes how Scripture, prayer, and gratitude sustain her work in the U.S. Senate.From bipartisan collaboration to the challenges of resisting an authoritarian executive branch, Gillibrand speaks candidly about the challenges of embodying gentleness and compassion in politics, consistently seeking spiritual solidarity with colleagues across the aisle. Drawing on Philippians 4, she testifies to the peace of God that transcends understanding, revealing a vision of political life animated by faith, courage, and joy—all in the spirit of hope, humility, and the enduring call to love in public service.Episode Highlights“Faith is the greatest gift you could have. It grounds me; it reminds me why I'm here and what my life is supposed to be about.”“We can disagree about public policy, but we don't have to be in disagreement as people.”“Jesus defied expectations—he welcomed the stranger, he fed the hungry, he loved his enemies.”“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again, rejoice… let your gentleness be evident to all.”“I pray for wisdom every day. Scripture tells us if you ask for it, you will receive it—and boy do I need it.”About Kirsten GillibrandKirsten Gillibrand is the U.S. Senator from New York, serving since 2009. A graduate of Dartmouth College and UCLA Law School, she has focused her legislative career on ethics reform, national security, and family policy. Grounded in her Christian faith, she seeks to model bipartisan leadership and compassionate public service.

Black – U.S. Senate ChaplainKirsten Gillibrand, Official Senate PageFaith and DivisionGillibrand describes America's current political and social moment as deeply divided, weakened by retreat into ideological corners.“We're stronger when we work together—when people love their neighbors and care as if they were their own family.”Faith offers grounding amid chaos; social media and tribalism breed extremism and hate.Following Jesus in Public LifeFaith clarifies her purpose and sustains her in political life.“It makes everything make sense to me.”Living “out of step with what's cool, trendy, or powerful” defines Christian vocation in public office.Bipartisanship and Common GroundWorks with Senators Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) on crypto regulation, Ted Cruz (R-TX) on first responder support, and Josh Hawley (R-MO) on stock trading bans.“If I can restore some healthcare or Meals on Wheels, I'll go that extra mile to do that good thing.”Collaboration as moral practice—faith expressed through policy partnership.Loving Enemies and Welcoming StrangersDraws parallels between Jesus's ministry and bipartisan cooperation.“He would sooner convert a Roman soldier than go to war with him.”“If I went to a Democratic rally and said, ‘love your enemy,' I don't know how that would go over.”Testifying to FaithWeekly Bible study with Senate Chaplain Barry C. Black.“He told us: Testify to your blessings. Share what God is doing in your life.”Posts daily blessings on social media, mixing joy and public witness.The Faith of DemocratsCounters perception that Democrats lack faith: “There are more ordained ministers and theology degrees on our side than people realize.”Mentions Senators Tim Kaine, Chris Coons, Raphael Warnock, Amy Klobuchar, and Lisa Blunt Rochester, all of whom regularly meet and discuss their faith and its impact on public office.Faith and Policy DifferencesOn reproductive rights and LGBTQ equality: “It's not the government's job to discriminate.”Frames Matthew 25 as central to Democratic faith—feeding, caring, welcoming.Compares differing theological interpretations of government's role in justice.Joy and GratitudePhilippians 4 as daily anchor: “Rejoice in the Lord always… let your gentleness be evident to all.”Keeps a five-year daily gratitude journal: “You rewire your brain to look for what is praiseworthy.”Rejoicing doesn't deny suffering; it transforms it into solidarity.Prayer and WisdomPrays constantly for family, colleagues, nation, and reconciliation.“Wisdom's usually the one thing I ask for myself.”Prayer as discernment: deciding “where to put my voice, effort, and relationships.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.Edited and Produced by Evan Rosa.Hosted by Evan Rosa.Production Assistance by Alexa Rollow and Emily Brookfield.A Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School (faith.yale.edu/about)Support For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: faith.yale.edu/give
