"God doesn't just care that he is worshiped, he cares how he is worshiped." Pastor Adriel Sanchez and Core Christianity producer Aaron Simon discuss what Scripture says is fitting and acceptable in a worship service, and how many evangelical churches have sought to domesticate worship, making it comfortable and casual rather than reverent and transcendent.

Can you pray lying down — or does God not hear? Many believers wonder if bedtime prayers or praying while resting dishonours God, or if He cares more about the heart than the posture. In this video, we'll explore what the Bible actually says about praying in bed, kneeling, standing, and every other posture of prayer. We'll also look at why some people of God warn against praying in bed, and what true reverence in prayer really means.Thank you for watching Off the Kirb Ministries Cup of Joe Podcast where we drink coffee and search out Biblical wisdom.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today!What if the sheer volume of life—the sudden emergencies, the relentless busyness, the lingering questions about the future—has created a wall of "clutter" between you and God? What happens when you feel buried under anxiety or anger, wondering why God allows hard things to happen, and struggling to see Him as a loving Father rather than a harsh taskmaster? How do we scoop up all those heavy burdens—the fears, the frustrations, the doubts—and actually lay them at the feet of Jesus to find rest? How do we practice the holy habit of "self-talk" when our hearts are in despair, giving ourselves permission to be real about where we are while still clinging to the promise of who God is? In Psalm 43—a short, orphan psalm often viewed as the conclusion to Psalm 42—the writer cries out for vindication and light. Without a formal title or choir direction, this intimate prayer offers a raw look at a soul demanding truth amidst oppression, bridging the gap between deep despair and the confident expectation that praise will return. Join us for this encouraging 16-minute prayer through Psalm 43 on the Praying Christian Women podcast as host Jamie Hampton opens up about her own week of uncertainty and leads us in clearing the spiritual clutter. Whether you’re ready to worship or just hanging on by a thread, discover how to shift your question from "Why is this happening?" to "God, show me what You're doing," and find the courage to tell your downcast soul: "Hope in God, for I will praise Him again."

When the holiday season ends, it's easy to shove everything back into bins and call it done. But what if this year you took a few extra minutes to put things away with purpose — and left yourself set up for peace, not overwhelm, when next season rolls around?   In this episode, I'm sharing five simple steps to help you declutter the leftover holiday chaos, reset your spaces, and start the new year with more peace, order, and intention. You'll learn how to: • Organize decorations, lights, and ornaments so they're easy to unpack next year • Sort and store cards, keepsakes, and photos without losing their meaning • Simplify your holiday storage systems so Christian home organization feels lighter, not overwhelming • Reset the spaces and routines that carried the weight of the holiday hustle • Reflect with purpose on what worked this season — and what needs to change heading into 2026 This conversation is all about creating space for a fresh start in your mind, in your heart — clearing the visual and mental clutter so your home, routines, and heart are aligned with what God is calling you into next. And I can't wait to hear what that may be. Praying for you this holiday season!

Ever feel paralyzed by fear? You've got a bold move in front of you...but that inner voice gets loud — "What if I fail?" "What if I blow it?" "What will people think?" Let's be real – most high performers talk a big game when it comes to fear, but behind the scenes? They're running from it. Masking it. Praying it disappears. That's why I had to bring Jenn Drummond on the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show. She's the first woman in history to climb the Seven Second Summits — the second-highest (and often most dangerous) peaks on every continent. She's also a mom of seven. Jenn's not just climbing mountains, she's helping everyday leaders like you climb the ones that live between your ears. So, if you've been letting fear talk you out of making bold moves, this episode will no doubt light a fire under you. In this episode, you'll hear: How a near-fatal car crash became Jenn's turning point — and the bold mindset shift that launched her world-record mountaineering journey Why fear isn't something to avoid, but something to work with How to stop being your own worst critic A surprising reason your kids (and you) need more struggle Why celebration and reflection aren't luxuries — they're non-negotiables for greatness A powerful reframe on comparison and accountability Key Quotes "It's a gift to be scared." - Jenn Drummond "You don't get rid of fear. You work with it." - Jenn Drummond "Big mountains take big teams. So stop asking how, and start asking who can help you get to the top." - Jenn Drummond Resources from this Episode Website: https://jenndrummond.com/ IG: @thejenndrummond LinkedIn: @jenn-drummond YouTube: @jenndrummond Tik Tok: @thejenndrummond Connect with J.R.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jamesJRreid  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamesjrreid/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesjrreid/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/jamesJRreid Website: jamesreid.com Check out The Clutch Club™️: jamesreid.com/club (For Men Only) Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

327 – What are you most hungry and thirsty for?What do you want more than anything else in the world? To be successful, to have a great job and make lots of money, to have a loving family and good friends? Do you want to have a lot of power and influence? Do you want to make a difference in the world and help people who are less fortunate than you?Maybe a better question is: What does God want you to do more than anything else? You may already have an answer for that and be working in that direction. But lots of folks these days are preoccupied with trying to get what they want and do what they want, without really thinking about what God wants them to do with their lives.Then there are those folks who have all the outward signs of success but there's still a hunger for something more meaningful, something more substantial. It's a hunger that can only be satisfied by things of the Spirit.In this episode, we're going to talk about What it means to be hungry for spiritualityHow this kind of hunger can be satisfiedThe blessing that comes as a resultWhat happens when you experience and are filled with the righteousness of God? You can't keep it to yourself. You will be blessed and your light will shine and become a blessing to everyone you come in contact with. ∞∞∞∞∞∞Show notes:  For a full transcript of this episode and all Bible verses mentioned, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/327.Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Darrell, Ayla, and Ant break down what the Bible actually says, when these prayers appeared in Scripture, and how Jesus' teachings shape how we respond to real-world conflict today.Whether you're struggling with forgiveness, seeking justice, or just curious about this challenging topic, this episode will help you understand how to align your emotions, desires, and prayers with God's will.Tune in for a raw, honest conversation that brings clarity, conviction, and hope.

Read OnlineThe Lord said, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge says. Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night? Will he be slow to answer them? I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily.” Luke 18:6–8It's interesting that Jesus uses the example of a dishonest judge to illustrate the importance of praying to God, calling out to Him day and night for justice. As the parable goes, this judge cared little about a widow in his town who continually came to him asking for a just decision. He felt as though she was continually bothering him. Because she was so persistent, the judge thought to himself, “...because this widow keeps bothering me I shall deliver a just decision for her lest she finally come and strike me.” Jesus' conclusion from this parable is quoted above.The simple lesson we ought to learn from this parable is that we must be persistent in prayer. God will always answer our prayers, seeing to it that “justice is done” speedily. But many people have prayed and prayed and prayed for some situation, prayed even for justice, and it appeared that God did not answer their prayer. Thus, some may question the promise of Jesus that persistent prayer will always be answered and justice always be rendered.If this is your experience, it is essential that you remind yourself of two things. First, Jesus' words are true. When we persevere in prayer and trust in God, He hears us and answers. This is our Lord's unwavering promise. But secondly, the “justice” that God delivers may often be different than the justice we expect. It may be that we want someone to pay for a wrong they did to us, but after praying fervently, our expectation is not met by our Lord. For this reason, it is essential that we know that God answers every prayer we pray, but in accord with His perfect will and wisdom. Therefore, God's view of justice at times may be very different than ours. At times, His justice is satisfied by His invitation to us to show mercy in abundance. True mercy always satisfies justice.Take, for example, the case of someone speaking in a rude manner to you. If you offer that situation to our Lord, He will enter in and provide His grace for you to deal with it in accord with His will. Perhaps He will soften the other person's heart so that they apologize, or perhaps, if they don't apologize and their heart is not softened, then God's answer to your prayer will be to give you the grace of humility so that you can love that person despite their unrepentance. Regardless of the way our Lord intervenes, the fact remains that He will intervene and enable you to fulfill His perfect will. If, however, your prayer is that the person be held accountable and condemned, then you are trying to tell God what to do, and He will not accede to your request. All of our prayer must ultimately be for the fulfillment of God's perfect will in accord with His wisdom. Reflect, today, upon how completely you trust in God. Do you know, with certainty, that He will answer every prayer that you fervently pray with faith in accord with His divine will? Believing this is freeing and enables you to live more fully in union with Him. If there is some issue with which you struggle right now, even some apparent injustice, then entrust it to our Lord, day and night without ceasing, and know that His grace will guide you as He answers you in accord with His will.My all-wise Lord, Your will is perfect in all things, and You always bestow Your grace upon me when I pray without ceasing. Please give me a trusting Heart, dear Lord, so that I will never waver in my hope that You will always answer my prayers in accord with Your will. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Parable_of_the_Unjust_Judge_(Granovitaya_palata,_1881-2)_2 by ilove truth, license Public Domain Mark 1.0 UniversalSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life!
