“Can you explain papal authority?” This question opens a discussion on the complexities of Church leadership, including the reconciliation of Vatican I and the Council of Constance. Other topics include the practice of praying for the dead and the perspectives of Orthodox believers on Roman primacy, highlighting the diverse theological inquiries that arise in Catholic apologetics. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:07 – I am no longer Catholic but I don't really know why it’s taking me long to desire to come back. 20:15 – Even if I were to accept 2 Macc. We could not accept the practice of praying for the dead because it was descriptive, not prescriptive. 23:59 – I'm Orthodox. In the 7th Ecumenical Council it talks about the agreement with the patriarchs. I do see a Roman primacy but it feels like there’s something missing where Rome didn’t do things with the agreement of the other patriarchs. 43:05 – How do you reconcile the contradiction on papal authority in Vatican 1 and Council of Constance? 50:25 – A couple was struck down in Acts of the Apostles after holding back. That feels like it contradicts the message of Jesus and the gospel. Can you explain?

What obligation does the civil government have to the church, and how should Christians relate to the state? While many of us may be weary of the infighting over political theology, Pastor Adriel Sanchez explains why wrestling with these questions can be good for the church, so long as we do so with charity and without sin.

Don't forget to grab your free scripture journal at ⁠⁠⁠PrayingChristianWomen.com/journal ⁠⁠⁠today! How do you declare "God is on the throne" when the evidence around you screams the opposite? Can you find spiritual victory when your logic and emotions are railing against this truth? In this devotional on Psalm 53, we walk through a "revision" of Psalm 14— a Maskil that shifts our focus from the covenant name of Yahweh to Elohim, the Creator and Judge of all humanity. We confront the paralyzing reality of "great fear where no fear had been" and explore how the enemy uses the brokenness of this world to mask the spiritual victory God has already won. We move past the surface-level tragedies to the deeper truth: that God has already scattered the bones of those who encamp against you. Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of spiritual recalibration. If you are exhausted by the heavy news cycle, or if your mind is railing against the promise of God’s sovereignty, this episode offers a battle plan for your thoughts. Come ready to "disconnect the logic," destroy speculations, and stand firm on the invisible, unshakeable reality of God’s Kingdom.

Paperwork becomes overwhelming when you're responsible for it but unsure what actually needs to be kept or how to organize it in a way that lasts—especially when you're managing documents for yourself or a loved one. In this episode of the Organized On Purpose Podcast, I share clear guidance on how long tax paperwork should be kept and how to organize important records so they're accessible and easy to maintain. I also talk through practical options for storing documents securely, whether you prefer physical files, digital systems, or a combination of both. This episode is for anyone feeling buried by paperwork, preparing for tax season, or helping a family member sort through years of documents. The focus is on clarity, decision-making, and setting up a paperwork system that works long term. Praying this helps you find some freedom from paper clutter!

President's Day is Monday, February 19th. We now celebrate all former presidents. We originally honored only George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, both whom had birthdays during the month of February, February 22nd and 12th, respectively. George Washington was the 1st and only president to be elected unanimously by the electoral college. He received all 69 of the votes. He was a first president with false teeth, and the first to appear on a postage stamp. He was our country's 1st president and was known as the father of our country. Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican President and the first President to be assassinated. He was the first to support women's right to vote. There are four U.S. state capitals that are named after presidents. The president who have state capitals named after them are Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison. Who is your hero president? Abraham Lincoln has been my presidential hero of faith since the days that I attended the one room country school. As I studied the lives of our presidents, it was Lincoln who became my hero president, a man of great faith, courage, and compassion, and a man of prayer. Who can forget that Gettysburg address of 286 words? Today, students and dignitaries still are able to recite that famous speech. His writings and speeches are often quoted to this day. Lincoln was a 16th president of the United States. Throughout the years, I have been inspired by his thoughts, which are biblical. He learned to read from the Bible. Something to remember…”You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help little men by tearing down big men. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.” Abraham Lincoln. It was in 1863 that Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a day of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer. Many churches throughout the land may observe a day of prayer on President's Day, at which time they pray for the leaders of our country. Praying for our nation and for our leaders is no new thought. Instead, it has been encouraged throughout the ages. C. H. Spurgeon stated, “Whenever God determines to do a great work, he first sets his people to pray.” Pray for the leaders of our nation.

Scripture reminds us that leadership is never outside of God’s sovereign reach. Proverbs tells us that the king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand—that He directs it like a stream of water. No matter who holds office, God remains the ultimate authority. Praying for our president—whether we agree with every policy or not—is not optional for believers. It is a biblical calling. In 1 Timothy, Paul urges believers to pray for those in authority so that we may live peaceful and godly lives. Prayer is not about political preference; it is about spiritual obedience and national stewardship. When we pray for our president, we are acknowledging that wisdom, protection, discernment, and righteous leadership come from God alone. We are entrusting the future of our nation to the One who truly governs all things. Even when leadership decisions feel uncertain or troubling, prayer anchors our hearts in the truth that God is still at work. Presidents come and go. Administrations rise and fall. But the Lord remains faithful. As we lift our leaders before Him, we participate in God’s purposes for our country and the world. Prayer is not passive—it is powerful. May we be faithful to intercede, trusting that God hears and moves according to His perfect will. Main Takeaways God remains sovereign over all leaders and nations. Scripture calls believers to pray for those in authority. Prayer for leaders is an act of obedience, not political agreement. Interceding for our president invites God’s wisdom, protection, and guidance. Our ultimate trust rests in God, not in human leadership. Today’s Bible Verse “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.” - Proverbs 21:1 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Father, guide our president according to Your will. Protect him, grant him wisdom, and let his leadership reflect Your purposes.” Listen to the full prayer here or read the full devotional and complete prayer by visiting the links below.

Do you ever feel responsible for fixing things the moment they appear?Maybe it’s not big anxiety. It’s just a subtle, steady pressure to reply, fix, improve, or mentally process everything the moment it appears. That quiet activation can keep your nervous system on alert all day long.In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a personal story about how even “rest” can quietly turn into another performance — and how learning to say “Not now” helped her lower background stress and retrain the urgency reflex.This episode explores micro-activation stress — the hidden pressure to treat every thought like a task — and why small, non-productive moments may be exactly what your nervous system needs to reset.

When you start praying and things get harder, it can feel discouraging, but Hezekiah's story shows that trouble often meets the faithful, and that's where God does His deepest work. In this message, we'll learn to take courage, press into prayer, and trust that the God who allows the pressure is also the One who delivers for His glory and your good.

1 Timothy 2:1-8

A prayer to remember God's holiness, what he calls his people to, and the grace of God in Jesus.

The Ark represents the place where God met with His people. In Christ, that access is fulfilled and we see what happens in the presence of God: intercession. Jesus stands in the gap for us, and when we draw near, we're invited to do the same. This message challenges us to expand our awareness and increase our intentionality as we pray for others.

I. Introduction Welcome to the Victory Church podcast and Sunday worship gathering. Victory's mission: reaching the lost, restoring the broken, reviving believers.​ Joy and gratitude for being in God's house where worship, prayer, the Word, and fellowship occur.​ Emphasis that God's grace enabled people to be present, overcoming hindrances.​ II. The Nature and Purpose of Prayer Prayer and the Word as central priorities at Victory Church.​ Biblical commands to pray: “men ought always to pray,” “pray without ceasing,” “watch and pray,” “continue earnestly in prayer.”​ Clarification: prayer is not a religious ritual but a relational conversation with a loving Father.​ Prayer as sharing cares, dreams, concerns with God; Scripture as God sharing His thoughts and heart with us.​ III. Reactive vs. Proactive Prayer A. Reactive Prayer Definition: responding to events, crises, and immediate needs after they happen.​ Typical reactive requests: jobs, finances, housing, healing, family and school pressures.​ Affirmation: these needs matter to God; believers should cast all cares on Him.​ Problem: if this is the only kind of praying, discipleship and prayer life are out of alignment with God's best.​ B. Proactive Prayer Definition: creating or shaping situations by praying God's will in advance, not only reacting.​ Example from the Lord's Prayer: “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” as a proactive request.​ Goal: move believers beyond crisis-only praying into kingdom-focused, forward-looking prayer.​ IV. Acts 4 as a Model of Prayer A. Context of Acts 4 Acts as early church history, showing the Spirit-empowered beginnings of the church.​ Peter and John preaching, healing a crippled man, and provoking opposition from religious leaders.​ Authorities command them not to speak or teach in the name of Jesus.​ Connection to today: pressure in culture to silence biblical truth and the name of Jesus.​ B. The Disciples' Response They return “to their own” (the church, fellow believers) when threatened.​ Principle: where you turn in crisis reveals much about your heart.​ They share the report as a prayer request and turn immediately to corporate prayer.​ They pray in alignment with Scripture (Psalm 2) and God's will, not just emotions.​ C. Content of Their Prayer (Acts 4:24–31) Acknowledge God as Creator and Sovereign Lord over heaven and earth.​ Rehearse Scripture about nations raging and rulers opposing the Lord and His Christ.​ Interpret persecution as part of God's sovereign purpose in Christ's suffering.​ Reactive element: “Lord, look on their threats.”​ Proactive element: ask for boldness to speak the Word, and for God's hand to heal with signs and wonders in Jesus' name.​ Result: the place is shaken, all are filled with the Holy Spirit, and they speak God's Word with boldness.​ V. Praying with the Word and God's Will Call to pray not only from need or emotion but aligned with Scripture.​ Examples of praying Scripture over needs (provision, healing, emotional and spiritual needs, relationships).​ Recognition that God's will includes timing; believers must be sensitive and obedient.​ Emphasis: there is power when prayer and the Word are joined.​ VI. From Problem to Launching Pad Observation: in Acts 4, the crisis launches the church into deeper proactive prayer, not retreat.​ Instead of praying primarily for safety and comfort, they pray for greater boldness and impact.​ Application: believers today should ask God to use trials to produce testimony, messages, and greater influence for His glory.​ VII. Call to a Proactive Kingdom Focus A. For Truth and Witness in a Confused Culture Culture tolerates generic “god talk” but reacts strongly to the exclusive claims of Jesus.​ Expect opposition when living and speaking biblical truth, without being obnoxious or hypocritical.​ The church must stand firm on Scripture, not be shaped by social media or worldly opinions.​ B. For Local and Global Mission Victory Church's call: reach Providence and the nations through evangelism and missions.​ Example: missions trips (Kenya, Sierra Leone, Liberia) and conferences to strengthen pastors and churches.​ Appeal for proactive prayer for missions: bold preaching, anointing, signs and wonders, and lasting fruit.​ C. For Revival and Awakening Distinction: revival for the church (bringing believers back to life), awakening for the lost.​ Invitation to pray for souls, discipleship, anointing, revival in churches, and awakening in the nation.​ Desire to create cultures of discipleship, evangelism, missions, and deep engagement with Scripture.​ VIII. Illustrations of Proactive Prayer in History and Life Personal testimony: long season in temporary housing, choosing contentment and kingdom focus while trusting God's timing.​ Application of Matthew 6:33: prioritizing God's kingdom and righteousness, trusting Him to add needed things.​ Biblical example: Job praying for his friends and receiving double restoration.​ Historical examples: John Knox's burden “give me Scotland or I die” and its influence.​ David Brainerd's fervent prayer for Native Americans and resulting impact.​ William Tyndale's martyrdom for translating Scripture and the later spread of English Bibles.​ The Moravians' 100-year prayer meeting and remarkable missionary sending.​ IX. Practical Application and Invitation Challenge: move beyond “needs-only” praying to kingdom-centered, proactive prayer.​ Specific areas to pray proactively: personal walk, church, ministries, missions, national awakening, and social issues.​ Encouragement to stay for times of corporate prayer, lifting up pastors, leaders, and global work.​ Final appeal: cultivate a passion that cries, “Lord, give us souls, give us revival, use my life and this church for Your glory.”

Why do some of our prayers seem to go unanswered—temporarily, long-term, or forever? How do we keep praying when answers are delayed or don't look the way we hoped? In this episode, we tackle one of the hardest questions in the Christian life: understanding God's responses to prayer when they don't match our expectations. In this episode, we examine: ✓ What does "ask anything and it will be yours" really mean? (Mark 11:24, John 15:7) ✓ The difference between prosperity gospel and biblical prayer ✓ Why faith isn't about "believing hard enough" ✓ Four reasons God delays or denies prayer requests ✓ How to trust God's character when prayers aren't answered ✓ The supernatural work happening behind our prayers ✓ Praying with persistence through long seasons of waiting If you've ever felt discouraged by unanswered prayer, this episode will help you pray with faith and hope—even in the waiting.
