338 - It's Freedom FridayHow often to you compare yourself with others? How's that workin' for you?One of the things I've really had to work at over the years is not to compare myself with others.When I've seen someone who is more successful, is smarter, stronger, better looking than me, it's easy to feel inferior to them. I've felt guilty I didn't work as hard as they did, or maybe I tried but didn't succeed like they did and it adds to the guilt of feeling I'm not good enough. And sometimes I've compared the mistakes I've made in life and the sins I've committed to what other people have done and it usually paralyzes me from going forward with my life.Comparing yourself to others is rarely a good idea and usually prevents you from making progress in your own life.There's a simple way to stop comparing yourself to others.And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Fridays.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Read the full transcript of this episode at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/338Text 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.

This 16-minute guided meditation invites you to review your Advent meditations, to hold silence on the threshold between Advent and Christmas, and to imagine God’s new life being born again within you. Dear Ones— This guided meditation is for anyone who has been praying throughout Advent and would like to hold a moment of stillness between the longing and hope of Advent, and the celebratory feast of Christmas. You are invited to be still, to wait, to remember, to imagine. We are held in the paradox between what is and what is to come, the paradox between our poverty, our dependence, our frailty and the fullness of life that is poured out to us each and every day. We pause here to acknowledge that tension, to attend to the Holy One who comes anew in us. References in the meditation: Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning. Isaiah 43:19 See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? Prayer of Teilhard de Chardin (excerpted from Hearts on Fire, Praying with the Jesuits) Above all, trust in the slow work of God.We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.We should like to skip the intermediate stages.We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new. And yet it is the law of all progressthat it is made by passing through some stages of instability—and that it may take a very long time. And so I think it is with you;your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,let them shape themselves, without undue haste.Don't try to force them on,as though you could be today what time(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)will make of you tomorrow. Only God could say what this new spiritgradually forming within you will be.Give Our Lord the benefit of believingthat his hand is leading you,and accept the anxiety of feeling yourselfin suspense and incomplete. Blessings, Dear One…. Contemplative at Home offers guided meditative prayer – space to slow down and listen to the truth that is being born out of God's love for you today – drawing on Ignatian spirituality and at times, Lectio Divina.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! What if the joy of Christmas is deeper, steadier, and more triumphant than the noise and pressure that often surround it? What if true praise isn't a performance we have to perfect, but a victory we are invited to rest in? In this uplifting devotional on Psalm 98, we explore the surprising and hope-filled connection between this ancient scripture and the beloved hymn, "Joy to the World." We discover that this hymn wasn't originally written about the nativity, but as a powerful declaration of the King who returns to rule with equity. From the rivers clapping their hands to the mountains singing for joy, we see a picture of a God who makes His blessings flow "far as the curse is found." Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a warm scripture meditation filled with encouragement, reflection, and prayer. Whether you need permission to be still amidst the busyness or a fresh reminder of God’s faithfulness, this episode offers a sanctuary to refocus your heart. Come ready to trade your to-do list for trust, celebrating the Savior who has come, and the King who will come again.

Emphasizing that the key difference between the ordinary and extraordinary is God's divine touch, Johnson discusses the critical importance of discipleship, fasting, and prayer. He underscores Jesus' ultimate act of submission in the Garden of Gethsemane and how followers are called to be like Jesus in saying, 'Thy will be done.' Johnson cautions against 'pick and mix religion,' urging believers to fully align with God's word to see divine power manifest in their lives.

The video opens with Shodankeh Johnson, a renowned Christian leader from Sierra Leone, Africa, sharing extraordinary testimonies about the transformative power of prayer and fasting. Shodankeh emphasizes that these spiritual disciplines can turn ordinary people into extraordinary individuals who can accomplish God's work. Shodankeh illustrates his points by sharing compelling stories from his own life and ministry. He explains how submission to God through prayer and fasting can open doors for disciple-making and transforming communities. His stories include instances where prayer and fasting led to miraculous conversions, including a confrontation with a militant leader who eventually became a Christian and now serves as part of Shodankeh's ministry. Shodankeh argues that disciple-making involves three levels of submission to God: the disciple-maker, the lost, and the spirits. He highlights how prayer and fasting are active ingredients that empower these stages. Through fasting and prayer, ordinary men and women have become powerful instruments for God's work in Sierra Leone, leading to entire villages and tribes coming to know Jesus. As Shodankeh's session concludes, Dave Clayton and Mandisa join the conversation. Dave Clayton, a pastor from the Nashville area, shares his journey of integrating prayer and fasting into his church's practice. He narrates their struggles and triumphs, emphasizing how persistent prayer and fasting have begun to catalyze a spiritual shift within their community. Dave explains his vision to mobilize churches across Nashville to pray and fast over every name, neighborhood, and nation represented in the city. His goal is to spark a broader movement of prayer and fasting throughout America. Mandisa, known for her work in the Discipleship First Tribe and her music career, talks about her realization of the need for desperation in prayer. She compares her experiences in American churches with those she observed during international tours, noting a stark contrast in the desperate fervor for prayer and fasting. She is moved to challenge herself and others to cultivate a similar level of spiritual desperation. Throughout the video, the speakers discuss cultural differences and the challenges faced by the American church in adopting these spiritual disciplines. Shodankeh explains that fasting and prayer are disruptive, yet necessary for true disciple-making. The leaders highlight the importance of humility, learning from the global church, and bringing a disruptive disciple-making mindset to North America. In conclusion, this video is a stirring reminder of the power of prayer and fasting in disciple-making. It challenges viewers to reconsider their spiritual practices and embrace a deeper, more committed walk with God for the sake of personal transformation and broader community impact.

Hey CBJ Family, On today's epsiode, we are talking about all the ways to PRAY and what it really means to "just pray about it." We believe prayer was never meant to be a last resort, but a daily relationship with God, as Kelley's mother taught her from a young age. This episode came stright fromt the heart; no notes, no outline. Together, Kelley and Taylor unpack how prayer shapes everyday decisions, strenghtens faith, and keeps our focus on Jesus when life feels overwhemling.  In this epsiode, we discuss: *How to pray (even when you don't know what to say) *How to make prayer part of your everyday life *Praying through anxiety, stress, and uncertainty *Keeping your prayers focused on God, not stress *Why prayer often changes you before it changes your circunstances If you've ever felt unsure about prayer, overwhelmed by life, or disconnected from God, this conversation is a reminder that He is always listening- and you can bring everything to Him.

337 – Let the light of Christmas shine brightOne of the major themes at Christmas time is the light of Christ shining into a dark world. In fact the Christmas story has all kinds of light in it. There's the star that appears to the Wisemen from the East. There's the glory of God shining on the shepherds as the angels talk to them. And most important of all is the birth of Jesus, who came as the Light of the world.But Jesus didn't come just for us to be passive recipients of his light. He wanted us to follow his example of bringing light to the darkness of fear, disease, despair, and sin. He even said we are also the light of the world.And that's what this episode is about, being the light and letting your light shine out into the darkness this Christmas, and beyond. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/337Spotify Christmas PlaylistText 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.

Today's Promise: Romans 15:13 Today's episode is a little different; slower, quieter, and deeply prayerful. In the middle of the holiday rush, when our hearts and minds can feel pulled in a dozen directions, the Lord brought to mind a verse that is less a promise to be explained and more a prayer to be received. In this episode, I share the Apostle Paul's prayer from Romans 15:13 and make it my personal prayer for you.   We serve the God of hope. The One who fills His people with joy and peace through the power of the Holy Spirit. This joy is not rooted in perfect circumstances but in confident trust in Jesus Christ. This peace comes from resting in the truth that God is sovereign and that nothing can separate us from His presence.   As you listen, be reminded that hope is not something you manufacture; it is something God graciously gives. And He gives it in abundance, overflowing and life-giving. This Christmas, my prayer is that the God of hope fills your heart with joy, peace, and a renewed confidence in Him.

As St. Paul begins to conclude his second letter to the Thessalonians, he encourages them to pray for the ongoing missionary work that he and his companions are doing. The Lord is faithful, and the apostle knows that the Lord's Word will bear good fruit. In that confidence, he commands the Thessalonians to continue to work diligently to receive their living, just as he had done while among them. This is God's gift, that Christians would work quietly and so receive their daily bread from Him.  Rev. Steve Andrews, pastor at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Lee's Summit, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Thessalonians 3:1-12.  To learn more about St. Matthew Lutheran, visit GraceFaithLove.org. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

I once encountered a fascinating Halachic question while praying in an airport before boarding. A group of nine Ashkenazim approached me and said they needed a tenth man so they could make a Minyan for Minha, and I of course happily agreed. During the Hazara (repetition of the Amida), an announcement was made that it was time to board. Six of us knew we had time to finish Minha before we needed to get on line to board, but four of the men were worried, and left to board. The remaining six were unsure what to do, and I told them that the Hazzan may continue the repetition of the Amida, since there was a Minyan in attendance when it began. If a section of the service requiring a Minyan began when ten or more men were present, it may be completed even if the Minyan was lost, as long as at least six men remain. The problem, however, arose when the time came to recite the Kaddish Titkabal after the Hazara. Ashkenazic custom views the Kaddish Titkabal as integrally connected to the Hazara, and therefore, just as the Hazara may be completed after the Minyan was lost, the Kaddish Titkaba after the Hazara may likewise be recited. Sephardic custom, however, views Kaddish Titkabal as separate from the Hazara, and thus according to Sephardic practice, if the Minyan was lost during the Hazara, then the Kaddish Titkabal may not be recited after the Hazzan completes the Hazara. I was thus unsure what to do in this situation, as a Sepharadi praying with Ashkenazim after four of the ten men left. Their Halachic tradition mandated reciting the Kaddish Titkabal after the repetition of the Amida, but according to my Halachic tradition, this Kaddish should not be recited. I did not know whether I should answer to their recitation of Kaddish. I later sent a message to Rav Yisrael Bitan asking this question, and he promptly replied with a detailed, six-page Teshuba (responsum) on this subject. He noted Hacham Ovadia Yosef's ruling that when a person hears a Beracha which according to his tradition is unwarranted, and thus recited in vain, he may not answer "Amen." One example is a Sefaradi who hears an Ashkenazi recite the Beracha of "Al Misvat Tefillin" over the Tefillin Shel Rosh. Although this Ashkenazi obviously acts correctly by reciting this Beracha, which is required according to Ashkenazic custom, the Sefaradi should not answer "Amen," since according to Sephardic practice, this Beracha constitutes a Beracha Le'batala (blessing recited in vain). This would apply also in the case of a Sefaradi who hears an Ashkenazi recite a Beracha over Hallel on Rosh Hodesh – a Beracha required by Ashkenazi custom but not according to Sephardic custom. Since Sephardic tradition regards this blessing as a "Beracha Le'batala," the Sefaradi should not answer "Amen" to this blessing. Many other Poskim dispute Hacham Ovadia's ruling, and maintain that since the Ashkenazi recites this blessing legitimately, in accordance with Ashkenazic practice, there is no problem for a Sefaradi to answer "Amen." Rabbi Bitan considers the possibility that Hacham Ovadia might agree that in the case of Kaddish, a Sefaradi may respond even if the Kaddish should not be recited according to Sephardic custom. One might distinguish between answering to an unwarranted blessing, which constitutes a "Beracha Le'batala," and answering to Kaddish, which is not a blessing. Rav Bitan concludes, however, that Hacham Ovadia likely applied his ruling even to Kaddish, and thus, in his view, a Sefaradi should not answer "Amen" to Kaddish if the Kaddish is not valid according to Sephardic custom. He may, however, answer "Yeheh Shemeh Rabba" even according to Hacham Ovadia's position, as this is merely an expression of praise, and differs from the response of "Amen." Given the different views on this subject, Rav Bitan suggested avoiding this problem by reciting the verse, "Baruch Hashem Le'olam Amen Ve'amen" (Tehillim 89:53), attempting to conclude the verse just when the others respond "Amen" to the Kaddish. This way, the Sefaradi answers "Amen" but says this word as part of a verse, which is always acceptable, thus satisfying all opinions.

  Host: Dan Panetti   I believe that too many men fail to make significant and meaningful plans for the future because they either falsely believe that they are “fine” and don't really need to change…or they've tried the world's concept of temporary changes and are tired and disappointed with the lack of true purpose. Well, that is a great set up for my word for 2026 - Purpose, that I took from Psalm 57:2 where God's Word says, “I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.”   Did you know that God Most High HAS a purpose for YOU? He does. And He wants you to know Him, know His plan, and live in such a way that you advance His purpose for your life. If you are looking at your goals for 2026 with that mindset, asking God what He wants to do in and through you, your goals will reflect a much different concept than just self-promotion.   Guys, my prayer for you is that you do the hard work of preparing yourself to truly know God…and make Him known through your life - all that you say and do would be a reflection of His goodness and glory for the world to see. Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 5 that they “are the light of the world.” I think you can agree with me that this dark world needs more lights…lights that shine brightly and point the way to the hope that is Christ Jesus! As you look at all the Christmas lights on your Christmas tree - that's exactly what they are doing…pointing you upward toward heaven to see the true Light of the World!   Praying for you to have a Merry Christmas - and to prepare yourself for an incredible New Year - ask what God wants to do with your life…and then walk in a manner worthy of your calling in the coming days ahead!

STANDING CLOTHES (PART 8) | PASTOR MARK BOER | DECEMBER 21, 2025 — The armor of God isn't just for defense; it equips us to pray effectively and to see real change in this life. Prayer isn't only meant to change you while leaving your circumstances untouched. We pray expecting God to move. We're reminded in the Word that consistent, persistent prayer is often the determining factor in God's activity. Prayer is a skill that grows with practice—when we pray more, we see more.  GOT SAVED TODAY? https://lcboise.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/290/responses/new SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY https://lcboise.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/171/responses/new CONNECT WITH US Website: https://www.lcboise.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@LifeChurchBoise Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifechurchboise

In Learning to Swim – Part 3, Pastor Daniel Stevens continues our journey of living life in the Holy Spirit. The baptism in the Holy Spirit isn't a finish line—it's a starting point. It's a powerful gift God gives to strengthen us, build us up spiritually, and help us live with greater purpose and connection to Him. Just like learning to swim, it's not meant to be a one-time experience, but a lifestyle that grows as we practice it.As we learn to “swim,” we discover how setting our minds on God deepens our relationship with Him and equips us to walk through hardship with strength and hope. Praying in the Spirit builds our inner life and helps us endure challenges without giving up. When we stay connected to God, even difficult seasons can become moments where His power and presence carry us through.#LearningToSwim #HolySpirit #BaptismInTheHolySpirit #LivingInTheSpirit #FaithInAction #SpiritualGrowth #GoodHopeChurch #JesusChangesEverythingSermon Notes: https://link.goodhope.ag/spirit-3Giving Information: https://goodhope.ag/givingSTAY CONNECTEDYoutube: https://youtube.com/GoodHopeChurchInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

All we have to do is to join it and be carried along with the Stream of Prayer that is flowing from Him. ‘Without ceasing' means REGULARLY, without any unnecessary gaps, as often as required. The word 'adialeiptos' (translated ‘without ceasing') was used to describe a tickling cough. A tickling cough is not one where you cough non-stop. It means that you cough without long gaps between coughs! *I. Let's move from RARE PRAYER to REGULAR PRAYER. Regular prayer doesn't mean that we are praying 24/7, but that we are in a constant flow of prayer. We are constantly accessing Heaven's Live Stream of prayer, which catches us up into God's Presence to walk with Him. “Praying at ALL TIMES (in every opportunity) with all kinds of prayer IN the SPIRIT (Ephesians 6:18). This is the key to joining Heaven's Live Stream of Prayer. We struggle to join it with our head! Our head is too limited. That's why we have the Holy Spirit living within our spirits, who makes us able to join that Live Stream. He helps us to tune into the bandwidth of Heaven and join in with what's flowing from God's Throne. We need to PRAY in the SPIRIT. Praying in tongues is one way we can pray in the Spirit, and join Heaven's Live Stream, but it is not the only way. Praying in the Spirit is praying from the Spirit within us, depending on the Spirit to lead and empower us in prayer. It is a way in which we pray, and a place from which we pray, more than it is a kind of prayer. *II. Let's move from HEAD to HEART. We will never be able to pray without ceasing, if we pray only from our HEAD. We have to go from prayer that only comes out of our HEADS to praying from our HEARTS, prayer in which we bring up from the core of our being, expressing God's life & heart of God within us. It's praying from our HEART. Martin Luther: “Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.” God invites us to pray from His heart - praying from His lap, from His Father heart. We hear His heartbeat, as we put our head to His heart, like the beloved disciple (John) at the Last Supper, who laid his head on Jesus' chest (John 13:23). We can hear His heartbeat and pray His heart. The Holy Spirit will give us the right word to return to the Father in prayer. Prayer is joining God's Live Stream, so what pours out of Heaven through His Word & Spirit enters into us, and through prayer we offer it back to Him in Heaven. Then He responds in the Earth with answers: “So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (Isaiah 54:11). Man was never designed to live only from his HEAD. Man was designed to live from his HEART, from the core of his being. And so, let us PRAY from there. *III. Let's move from DUTY to DELIGHT. God wants us to take us from the DUTY of prayer to the DELIGHT of prayer. For many people, prayer is a CHORE, or worse a BORE, when it is so much MORE! Prayer is a DELIGHT. In Matthew 21:13, Jesus quoted from Isaiah 56:7: “I will make them JOYFUL in My House of PRAYER.” There is JOY in the House of PRAYER. Have we found joy in prayer? If not, let's get into Prayer's Live Stream. God's Live Stream will carry you on and carry you up! Psalm 34:5: “They looked to Him (in prayer) and their faces were light (radiant with joy).” When we look to God in prayer, rather than looking to ourselves and our own resources, we go beyond the DUTY and the DISCIPLINE of prayer, and get caught up in the DELIGHT (joy) of prayer. 1Thess 5:17 is the meat in the sandwich: “pray without ceasing.” 1Thess 5:16 & 18 are the bread. These 3 verses are a triptych of simple exhortations: “(1) REJOICE always, (2) PRAY without ceasing, (3) in everything GIVE THANKS” (1Thess 5:16-18). God doesn't want us in the DRUDGERY of prayer! He wants us to discover the DELIGHT of prayer. So, let us join Heaven's Live Stream of Prayer that God has made available to us.

Explore the concept of 'praying without ceasing' as explained through 1 Thessalonians 5:17: "Pray without ceasing.” This insightful video delves into the idea of regular, heartfelt prayer and how it connects us to a divine 'live stream' from heaven.

Is your Christmas season feeling more stressful than soulful? In this powerful Christmas message, Pastor Chris DeArman explores Philippians 2 to reveal a side of Jesus we often overlook: The Servant King. While the world competes for status and "selfish ambition," Jesus offers a different way to live that leads to true connection and community.  In this sermon, you'll discover three profound ways Jesus serves you right now: He Sits With Us: Jesus isn't a distant God; He entered into our suffering and "emptied himself" to be with us in our mess.  He Saves Us: He bore the full weight of our sin on the cross so that our guilt is gone and our forgiveness is forever.  He Prays For Us: Right now, Jesus is at the right hand of God interceding for you. You are not alone in your struggles.  "Selfish ambition kills connection, but counting others first creates community."  Learn how to shift your perspective this holiday season and live in the light of Christ's service to us.

336 – What makes you want to obey God?People sometimes ask: "Is there a way to obey God from a place of love instead of from a sense of duty or fear of punishment?" And my answer is always: Absolutely, Yes! It is totally possible to obey God from a place of love instead of duty or fear. God doesn't want you to obey Him because you're afraid of Him. God wants a loving relationship with you. When you realize He always has your best interests at heart, you really do want to obey God, you love to obey God.And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Freedom Fridays.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞SHOW NOTES: Full transcript at thebiblespeakstoyou.com/336Text 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.

2 Corinthians 1:11 - You also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

Matty grew up as the youngest of 8 on the South Side of Chicago. He quickly turned to substances as a remedy for life, which led him to the rooms young. For years he came and went, but he always came back.

How do you find peace when your natural instinct is to fight harder against the quicksand of life? In this devotional on Psalm 46, we explore the profound invitation to "cease striving" and "be still and know that I am God." We look beyond the surface of this famous passage to encounter the "Lord of Hosts"—the Commander of Angel Armies—and learn why our desperate attempts to save ourselves often make it harder for Him to rescue us.
