Today I‘m sitting down with Craig Wroblewski, president of Lifestones Ministries, to talk about two difficult issues so many families are facing: struggling marriages and the heartbreak of prodigal or estranged children. As we dig into Psalm 127, we explore the spiritual battle surrounding our homes, the value of discipleship, how to restore communication and connection in marriage, and what it means to persevere in prayer when our children walk away from us—or from the Lord. Craig shares practical wisdom on building a Christ-centered family, even in the midst of pain, and offers hope for parents who feel like giving up. Whether you're fighting for your marriage, grieving over a child, or simply weary from the battle, this conversation will remind you that God isn't finished. He is still building, restoring, and writing your family's story.Craig Wroblewski with Lifestone Ministries | Lifestoneministries.com/heidiPrime Sponsor: No matter where you live, visit the Functional Medical Institute online today to connect with Drs Mark and Michele Sherwood.

7/27/25 - Before the Canada team comes home, "The Prodigal" returns to the Sr High ;) Rick comes back to a brand new Sr High to deliver a message on Josiah, the culture that likely challenged him, and how that culture is very similar to the challenging environment that our youth face right now.

Top Ten from 2024: #1 Stories Series: Prodigal and Redemption with Renee Endress   **Transcription of original episode**  237. Stories Series: Prodigal and Redemption with Renee Endress   Isaiah 61:1-3 (KJV) "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified."   Questions and Topics We Cover: Will you tell us a bit about your experience of surrendering your life to Christ? Will you share your journey with your prodigal daughter, Andrea? Will you tell us about Grace Catering and your cookbooks?   Renée Endress is blessed to be the mother of seven children ranging from 16-32 years old, all of whom she homeschooled. Four of the seven are married and her six precious grandchildren bring her much joy and laughter! She is also part of a church family she loves and her dear parents passed on to her a love of sunsets, flowers, and the beauty of God's creation.   Cooking has been a passion for much of her life and she's written three cookbooks, which were later combined into one large book. For the past ten years, she enjoyed catering, which kept growing and eventually blossomed into an almost full-time job. A couple years ago, she refurbished a building in Peoria, Illinois, which is now her catering kitchen where they make homemade take and bake meals for people to purchase. Through it all, God has been so good!   Renée says, "I could share just the pretty parts of my life, but I've come to realize that something special can happen when people are real with each other -- when we share the muddy parts of our lives as well as the lovely parts. This can be used to encourage each other on the journey, and most of all, to point to the faithfulness of our amazing Savior, who loves to redeem our mud stories.   My story looks much different than my idealistic hopes for my future as a young woman, but through it all, God has been faithful every single step of the way. He was faithful in teaching me as an immature newlywed struggling through some very difficult relationship situations. He was faithful as I walked, tripped, and floundered with a daughter through some very dark teenage years, deep rebellion, ten months at a residential facility for troubled teens, and a teenage pregnancy. He was oh, so faithful when my difficult marriage of twenty-four years turned more and more destructive and led to an ongoing separation. He was faithful two years later when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent two surgeries and radiation treatments. He has been faithful through ten years of "single" motherhood. He was faithful as He opened doors for me to start a thriving catering business at the perfect time. He was faithful when He allowed me to be a part of starting "Beauty for Ashes," a group for women from my national church who have come from painful marriages. As I look back on my life, I see plainly His footprints all the way through.   These verses have been so meaningful in my life: "...He hath sent me (Jesus) to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound... to comfort all that mourn... to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified."

Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession- to the praise of his glory.”   Ephesians 1:15–23 “For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”   Ephesians 2:8–10 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God‘s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.“   Ephesians 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.“   Philippians 1:6 “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Pastor Kirk Graham preached from 1 John 3 with a clear call: you can't run with the world and walk with God. As children of God, we're not called to tolerate sin; we're called to eradicate it. Sin is deadly and Jesus came to take it away. It's time to live like we belong to God, set apart, purified, and fully His.

Send us a textWhy Does God Allow The Disobedient To Use His Holy Spirit? One of the greatest deceptive powers the Devil uses is signs and wonders. People do not clearly understand what they perceive. The assumption goes something like this: “Well, they did that one miracle, they said that one prayer that was answered, they foretold that one event, then they must be fully in line with God. Therefore, everything they say and teach must be God's will.”This line of thinking always really bothered me. I see the danger of it while most do not perceive the great error. This led me to wonder, why do so many Christians who have rebelled against God are allowed the power of the Holy Spirit? I pondered why God still blessed their works and prayers with spiritual power, while they so clearly rejected obedience and submission. I know grace, mercy, and time is given to all. Yet, how then do they still walk at times as ones who have received the fullness of God, while rejecting the fullness of submission? I first thought that the spirit is available generally and is allowed to be accessed according to their faith and understanding at the time, which most likely still holds some merit. Yet it fails my understanding to reveal what is truly going on.  Then I read the following verse, and God revealed to me the answer to my long held question:  #Backsliders #Rebelliousspirit   #prodigalMatthew 20:16 “So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few are chosen.”·        It is the calling that brings the power, the manner and way God has called them that provides the power in the blessing.·        They are then able to walk in this calling, yet they have not submitted themselves fully to qualify as chosen.Watch The Videohttps://youtu.be/83F_yR3V6HAWebsitehttps://brotherlance.com/disobedient-using-the-holy-spirit/New IntroSupport the showBecome A SupporterJOIN US!> Main Website: https://brotherlance.com/> Free Book: http://weshallbelikehim.com/> Free Music: https://brotherlance.com/brother-lance-music/> Social - Gab: https://gab.com/BrotherLance

Does obeying the fifth commandment mean never bugging your unbelieving parents about their spiritual state? How might other passages of Scripture provide some guidance on evangelizing our lost mom or dad? It's common for Christians to think about winning prodigal children, but in this episode of hte FTC Podcast, Jared and Ross discuss how to handle having "prodigal parents."

The sermon centers on the parable of the prodigal son, urging listeners to shift their focus from the rebellious son to the loving and forgiving Father. It emphasizes that God's grace extends to all sinners, regardless of their past actions, and challenges the tendency to prioritize self-righteousness and doctrinal arguments over actively seeking and restoring those who are lost. The message underscores the importance of following the Father's example of unconditional love and seeking reconciliation, rather than focusing on human-made systems of theology, and encourages a renewed commitment to reaching out to those in need of God's forgiveness and restoration.

This episode I'll be talking with Dr. Brittney Ellers, a Projector woman from the USA who uses Human Design in her work as a Physiotherapist with a specialty in Pelvic issues.    I invited Brittney to talk on my podcast after having her as a student in my Differentiated Development program where it was clear she was sensing more from the other students than they were sharing openly.   This episode is honest, raw, hilarious, direct, bold, and full of feminine openness. We speak shamelessly about taboo and explicit subjects while weaving in our designs and our extrasensory gifts.   This conversation is even better if you listen to part 1 on Brittneys podcast - Pelvic Pulse   Brittney is a 2/4 Splenic Projector with the Channels of Struggle, Alpha and the Prodigal.      You can find Brittney - https://www.brittneyellers.com/  https://www.instagram.com/b.ellers/   You can find Sam - https://www.samzagar.com/ https://www.instagram.com/samzagar/  https://www.youtube.com/@SamZagarHumanDesign

In this powerful episode, Maurice and LaShunda share their testimony of reconciliation. When their marriage was falling apart, Maurice left in search of peace, away from his family.

His journey back to his family is a powerful reminder of God's relentless pursuit.   You'll hear the spiritual disciplines that sustained LaShunda as she stood for her marriage and how she discovered the power of praising God through pain.

He is co-author with Jason Jones of “God, Guns, & the Government.”   John Zmirak's latest book: No Second Amendment, No First  by John Zmirak  Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   --------------------------------------------------------------------  Check out our ACU Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/ACUPodcast   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.   Report on Food For the Poor by Charity Navigator https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/592174510   -------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer from ACU.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that the older son in this parable was angry that his younger brother was restored. He didn't realize his behavior was just as rebellious, refusing to defend his father's love and mercy towards his youngest.

From music and spreading the Gospel to transforming prayer and lessons from sports...this episode of "Run The Race" has it all. A ministry serving West GA and East AL is rebranding from "Take The City" to "Harvest Movement." Their leader is this week's guest, Jeremy Northington sharing about that transition and the Biblical meaning of the new name...plus his past prodigal sinful ways leading to a life-changing moment in a new prayer closet...and how fatherhood, sports, fitness are changing his lifestyle lately. (2:20) Following my own call from God, I first talk about a meaningful song, on the radio these day, and even sing my version of "Flowers," to hopefully uplift you when going through difficult times. Then, learn a lot more about this ministry leader. (9:27) Harvest Movement's new President talks about the evolution from outreach to more missional opportunities that include coffee, restoring lives, revitalizing communities. What if it's awkward to talk to strangers about Jesus? Jeremy had that same fear and explains how their ministry gets you ready in a non-intimidating way to fulfil our mission. there will be a Harvest Rebrand open house and celebration with worship, food, drink this Saturday July 12 (from 10am-2pm) at 2910 2nd Avenue in Columbus GA. Find out more about the nonprofit, how to get involved and support them at https://www.harvestmovement.org/. (19:58) As a rebellious teen, Jeremy strayed from the Lord - alcohol, drugs, sex - then had a moment in 2016, while desperate and broken, that led him to create a prayer closet. Hear his powerful testimony of transformation! (28:25) Along with starting a business a decade ago, Jeremy really loves being a dad, which also leads to him coaching his son. He talks about sports correlating with ministry. (37:56) And now he's on a new fitness and health journey, feeling like God's calling him to eat better and be in better shape - to be able to achieve all that the Lord has planned for Jeremy. Time to say Yes to the Holy Spirit! (47:17) And he closes us in prayer. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast, which I hope you'll subscribe to! Share it with your friends.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that in our youth, we think that life would be better on our own. But, when we come to our senses, the father who has held back his rescue, can now rejoice. God will use difficulty to correct us and lead us towards repentance.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that, as hard as this sounds, suffering can be a good thing. When we trust God with our prodigal children, no matter how old they are, we let the pain do its work, and the outcome could be promising.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that when the prodigal decides to reject authority, many things can happen. The household becomes unstable, and the family unit can implode. The prodigal may have to bear hardship and suffering, but hope is on the other side.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches us that we cannot come to God with conditions. “I will follow you if you do this or that.” Apart from God, we set ourselves up as a god. It never works. When we come to Him with a humble and pure heart, He will never turn us away.
