Fr. Mike encourages us not to be discouraged about the small things happening in our lives, because just as we see through Zechariah's visions, God takes small things and turns them into great triumphs. He also touches on the dedication of Israel to rebuild the temple, and the connection between the crowing of Joshua and the crowning of Christ the King. Today's readings are Ezra 5-6, Zechariah 4-6, and Proverbs 20:8-11. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

In Episode 105 of the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP and Lucas dive deep into the struggle every leader, athlete, and believer faces: how to stay focused on your mission when distractions, doubt, and setbacks come your way.

Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or simply trying to stay true to your calling, this episode will equip you to move forward with clarity and confidence.

NEW #BIYE w @OliveTreeBible DAY 269 - Isaiah 48:12-50:11 Ephesians 4:17-32 Psalms 69:1-18 Proverbs 24:5-6

Have you ever noticed how so-called “unexpected expenses” always seem to show up at the worst time? The truth is, most of these costs aren't surprises at all—we know cars will break down, homes will need repairs, and Christmas comes every year. The key is not to panic when they arrive but to prepare ahead of time. One simple tool for this is the sinking fund.Scripture has much to say about preparation. Proverbs 21:20 tells us, “Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.” In other words, wisdom means setting aside resources now instead of consuming everything immediately.We also see this principle in Genesis 41, where Joseph, warned of famine, stored one-fifth of Egypt's grain during the years of plenty. His preparation wasn't random—it was steady and systematic. That's exactly how sinking funds work: consistent contributions toward expenses we know will eventually arise.What Is a Sinking Fund?A sinking fund is money you intentionally set aside for a specific future expense. Instead of panicking at a $1,200 Christmas bill, you save $100 per month all year. Instead of reaching for a credit card when your car needs new tires, you draw from the fund you've been building.This steady, disciplined approach provides freedom from debt and peace of mind when expenses come due. It's not glamorous, but it works.Proverbs 6:6–8 points us to the ant as an example of diligence: “Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest.” The ant doesn't wait until the snow falls to collect food—she steadily prepares in advance.Trusting God doesn't mean ignoring preparation. Noah trusted God, yet he still built the ark. Farmers trusted God, yet they sowed seed. Joseph trusted God, yet he stored grain. Faith and stewardship go hand in hand.Where to StartIf you're new to sinking funds, begin with one category. Break down the expense into monthly contributions:Car repairs & replacement—Tires, brakes, or even a future vehicle.Home maintenance—Roofs, furnaces, and appliances all wear out.Medical costs—Co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses.Gifts & holidays—Birthdays and Christmas come every year.Insurance premiums & taxes—Annual or quarterly payments made manageable.Even small amounts—like $25 per month—add up to create margin. Over time, your “storehouses” will be ready when needs arise.In 1 Corinthians 16:2, Paul urged believers to set aside money regularly in proportion to their income to meet the church's needs. This is essentially a spiritual sinking fund—planned, systematic stewardship for Kingdom purposes.The goal isn't to hoard resources. Jesus warns in Luke 12:16–21 against stockpiling for ourselves. Instead, sinking funds free us to live responsibly and bless others without fear.Faith Expressed Through StewardshipChoose one sinking fund today. Maybe start with Christmas: divide your expected costs into monthly pieces and begin saving now. Once you've built the habit, add another fund. Before long, you'll have a system that turns stress into confidence and panic into peace.Creating sinking funds is more than a budgeting trick—it's a spiritual discipline. Each small deposit is an act of faith, demonstrating that you trust God by stewarding His provision wisely. Preparation doesn't replace faith—it reflects it.So start planning today. Build sinking funds for tomorrow. Trust God with the outcome. And remember: faith isn't just believing God will provide when the bill arrives—it's also honoring Him by preparing with the resources He has already placed in your hands.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm retired but still working a few days a week. Social Security is still being deducted from my paycheck—what happens to that money? Will I ever get it back?I'm 66 and planning to retire in 10 months. My wife is also retiring soon. Together we earn about $180,000 a year. How can we best manage our retirement resources to maintain our current lifestyle?I didn't have financial training growing up, and now I see my kids struggling with unexpected expenses and poor money habits. Are there any books that can help shift our family's attitude toward money?I've looked into faith-based investment options, but they seem to have higher fees and less diversification compared to Vanguard or Schwab.

We think of her as a genteel Southern lady, and she was that, for sure.But Ruth Bell Graham was so much more. While her husband was away so much, preaching to the masses, she was preaching to her own little flock. The result was children who became adults, and in turn, shared the Good News of Jesus with others.Anne Graham Lotz and Franklin Graham didn't just fall out of the sky!Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”In their little home in the mountains of North Carolina, while daddy was in Brussels, New York, and Sydney, Mother Ruth was faithful for years on end to impart godly wisdom to their children. Much iron was sharpened on cold winter nights and long summer days.Theirs was a home that didn't always have both parents available, but they thrived.Use that as an example of how to bring up your own children. You'll be happy forever that you did.Let's pray.Lord, Your Word is good, and it shines a light on our path. Give us the strength to mentor our own children in your ways.

In today's Morning Manna, we study Proverbs 12:24–28, where Solomon teaches that hard work leads to leadership while laziness leads to servitude, that anxiety bows the heart but a good word lifts it, and that the righteous serve as guides while the wicked mislead. We learn the importance of valuing what God provides and walking the path of righteousness that leads to life. These verses remind us that diligence, truth, and encouragement shape both our daily walk and our eternal destiny.Teachers: Rick Wiles and Doc BurkhartYou can partner with us by visiting FaithandValues.com, calling 1-800-576-2116, or by mail at PO Box 399 Vero Beach, FL 32961.MEGA FIRE reveals the ancient recurring cycles of war and economic collapse that have shaped history for 600 years.

Some of the greatest stories of believers down through time have involved those who really studied God's Word. These people have gone before us to show us the way. From Charles Spurgeon to a missionary mother in China, daily study of the Word and prayer prepared them to mentor entire generations.Proverbs 27:17 says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.”We also read in Romans 10 that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. We have to do it so that others know how. Remember, there is no substitute for spending time in God's Word.In order to properly train an apprentice, you need to obviously be prepared and adept. Anything less leads to weak faith, or no faith at all.This is what the Great Commission, sharing the Gospel, has always been about. Duplicating disciples. Grounding your own faith in the Bible, then imparting that to others. That is the essence of true iron sharpening iron.Let's pray.Lord, keep us about your work by daily reminding us to spend time with you in Your Word.

In this episode, Pastor Cindy and Pastor Gene Cate taught in tandem about the power of the Holy Spirit both in us and upon us. As believers, it's important for us to be filled with the Holy Spirit on the inside. This is for our sake individually. But, when we experience the power of the Holy Spirit upon us, it is for the betterment of the people around us. That is when signs, wonders and miracles become the evidence of His presence and people's lives are impacted because our obedience to God's move resulted in Holy Spirit having His way.  Scripture reference: John 16:12-15, John 17:20-23, Acts 2:1-4, Matthew 3:11, Acts 2:38, Acts 4:31, Acts 4:8,  Acts 2:42-47, Acts 4:33, Acts 19:11, Matthew 8:16-17, Isaiah 11:1-2, Matthew 3:11, Proverbs 3:6-8, Ephesians 3:14-21, Ezekiel 36:26-27, Romans 8:12-16, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:42-47.   Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

Have you ever thought, “It's just too expensive to be healthy”? You're not alone—and in this episode, we're digging into that belief and what's really holding us back from caring for our bodies well.Jordan unpacks the common idea that health is only for the wealthy and shares why this mindset, while understandable, can actually keep us from making meaningful progress. Through biblical wisdom and practical examples, she encourages you to look at health as stewardship, not perfection, and shows how you can take small, faithful steps to care for your body without overspending or comparing yourself to others.What You'll Learn:Why health can feel financially out of reach (and how to reframe that mindset)The difference between expensive “extras” and everyday disciplines that cost nothingHow Scripture, and even the Proverbs 31 woman, offers wisdom for stewarding our healthPractical ways to pursue wellness within your means—without keeping up with the latest trendsEncouragement to shift from comparison to faithful stewardship with what God has given youLinks:Pre-Order Be Good to Your BodyFollow Jordan on InstagramGet 10% Off Crunchi using "ADVOCATE10" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today on Exploring the Marketplace, Shawn Bolz and Bob Hasson welcome professional artist and one of only nine Master Penmen in the world, Jake Weidmann. Certified through IAMPETH in 2011, Jake holds the honor of being the youngest Master Penman by three decades—and the youngest ever to achieve the title. His peers have created works for the White House, Queen Elizabeth, and even the Pope, but Jake's journey has uniquely blended calligraphy with fine art, painting, drawing, woodworking, and engraving.Jake shares how faith shaped his career from the very beginning, even when industry professionals warned him not to make it explicit. Instead, leaning into his relationship with Jesus led to surprising opportunities, including his celebrated hymn series. He also opens up about overcoming struggles with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and the “starving artist” complex, and how God has redeemed his perspective of calling.In this conversation, Jake reveals stories of marketplace miracles—from divine provision of materials like the wood for The Old Rugged Cross, to being placed before people and companies with favor and authority far beyond what he could have imagined. His life verse, Proverbs 22:29, has marked his journey: “See a man gifted in his work. He will stand before kings; he will not stand before obscure men.”

Matthew 6:19–24, Proverbs 22:9, 1 Timothy 6:17–18 In this episode, we hear Jesus' words about treasure and our eye…..huh? At first, it can sound confusing — what do our eyes have to do with treasure? But Jesus is teaching us how to see clearly: to treasure God above money and things. Kids will understand: Money and things aren't bad — they can be tools to help others. What matters most is how we see them and how we use them. A “good eye” sees the truth: God is more beautiful and precious than anything money can buy.

It's Wednesday, September 24th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Chinese Communists restrict Christian online content Bitter Winter Magazine reports that Communist officials in China published new rules last week to significantly restrict religious content online. The religious liberty magazine noted, “It effectively criminalizes spontaneous religious expression online, isolates clergy from global religious discourse, and places sacred speech under the watchful eye of state censors.” The regulations allow only registered religious organizations to post preaching and religious education online. Clergy must promote socialist values. And they are specifically prohibited from evangelizing young people, reports China Aid.  But, in Matthew 19:14, Jesus said “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” Hungary to designate Antifa a terrorist group Hungary plans on designating Antifa as a terrorist organization following the example of the United States.  Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán recently told state media, “Antifa is a terrorist organization. . . . They have come to Hungary, beaten peaceful people in the streets, beaten some half to death.” This comes after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday, designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated.” Man guilty of Trump assassination attempt tries to stab himself in court Ryan Routh, the madman who holed up in a sniper's nest with an assault rifle at President Trump's West Palm Beach golf club, tried to stab himself with a pen in a Florida courtroom Tuesday after he was convicted of attempting to assassinate the then-GOP nominee, reports the New York Post. The jury noted the 17 “reconnaissance” trips he allegedly made to Trump's golf course, and what they described as his excessive stalking of Trump, prior to the September 15, 2024 incident in question. A dramatic scene unfolded as jurors were leaving the courtroom when Routh took a pen and started trying to jab himself in the neck. Courtroom marshals sprung to action and dragged him out of the room as his daughter, Sara Routh, screamed at her father. She yelled, “Dad I love you. Don't do anything. I'll get you out. He didn't hurt anybody.” There is no video footage of Ryan Routh attempting to stab himself with the pen because cameras were not allowed in the courtroom. A few minutes later, Routh was brought back into the courtroom with shackles on. He wasn't wearing the jacket and tie from earlier and his white shirt didn't show signs of blood. The judge set his sentencing date for December 18, where he will face up to life in prison. Trump rebuked globalism and open borders at United Nations U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly yesterday. President Trump rebuked globalism, unchecked migration, open borders, and climate change activism. Listen. TRUMP: “The entire globalist concept of asking successful industrialized nations to inflict pain on themselves and radically disrupt their entire societies must be rejected completely and totally. And it must be immediate. That's why in America, I withdrew from the fake Paris Climate Accord.” He also called for the protection of religious liberty. TRUMP: “Together, let us defend free speech and free expression. Let us protect religious liberty, including for the most persecuted religion on the planet today. It's called Christianity.” HHS announced review of abortion kill pill LifeNews reports the U.S. Health and Human Services Department is launching a national review of the abortion kill pill mifepristone.  HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused the Biden administration of downplaying serious complications of the dangerous drug. Obviously, it is used in the killing of unborn babies. Not surprisingly, it is also linked with serious complications for pregnant women. These include hemorrhage, emergency room visits, and sepsis.  Proverbs 24:11-12 says, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, ‘Surely we did not know this,' does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?” CDC no longer recommending MMRV shot for toddlers The vaccine advisory committee for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adopted new recommendations for the child immunization schedule last Thursday.  In an 8-3 vote, the committee voted to no longer recommend the MMRV vaccine for toddlers. The combination shot is for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella. Instead, the committee recommended a standalone vaccine for varicella, also known as chickenpox, and another shot for the other three infections.    The committee noted increased risk of seizures among toddlers who received the MMRV vaccine.  Most religious state is Mississippi; Least religious state is Vermont Pew Research released data on the religiosity of states in America. The most religious state was Mississippi with 50% of adults expressing a high degree of religiosity. Next up was South Carolina, South Dakota, Louisiana, and Tennessee. The least religious state was Vermont with only 13% of adults expressing a high degree of religiosity. Other states with people of low religiosity were New Hampshire, Maine, Nevada, and Oregon.  Religiosity was measured based on importance of religion, religious attendance, frequency of prayer, and belief in God.  73% of Americans now feel safe in their town And finally, a new survey from Gallup found that more people than ever feel safe where they live despite the rise in conflicts between countries.  Gallup's Global Safety Report found 73% of adults worldwide said they feel safe walking alone at night in their city or area. That's up from 65% in 2006. Feelings of safety are increasing but remain relatively low in sub-saharan Africa and Latin America. The region with the most dramatic increase in feelings of safety since 2006 is post-Soviet Eurasia.  Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, September 24th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Feeling far from God lately? Maybe you've been distracted, maybe life feels heavy, or maybe you've just quietly drifted without even realizing it. This episode is a reminder that the same God who brought Israel out of Egypt is the same God who's brought you out of your own Egypt….your heartbreak, your past maybe even just your old self. Forgetting Him is what pulls us further away, but remembering what He's already done shifts everything. In this conversation, I talk about why we so easily drift from God and how to come back, what “fear of the Lord” really means (spoiler: it's not about being scared), and how living in daily awareness of His presence changes us. If you've been feeling distant, this is for you. Come remember the God who never stopped pursuing you.Welcome to Season 3! I've missed you guys so much!!James 4:17, Deuteronomy 6:10–12, Proverbs 9:10, Exodus 20:20, Proverbs 14:26–27instagram.com/growingthrough.pod

Proverbs 23

What if the only thing standing between you and the life God has called you to is one simple word: yes? So many Christian women feel unseen, overlooked, or too small to make a difference. But your yes to God matters. It doesn't have to be big. It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be obedient. In this episode of Strong. Confident. His., I'm sharing stories, scriptures, and lessons that reveal how God multiplies even the smallest acts of faith into something greater than we could ever imagine. Whether you're looking for encouragement, biblical motivation, or a Christ-centered health and fitness plan, this message will remind you that the world doesn't write your story—God does.   Inside this Episode: The story of the little boy and the starfish—and why it matters for your calling. How God turned my rejection into a bestselling book (and what it means for your story). Key scriptures to remind you who's really writing your life (hint: not the critics). A powerful excerpt from The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino. Four truths that will give you courage to say yes to God today.   Key Takeaways for Christian Women Your yes changes everything. Even if it touches just one life, it matters to Him. Rejection isn't the end of your story. God is still writing, even in the pauses. Faith is obedience, not perfection. Step out scared, but step out with Him. Do the one thing God is calling you to do. Like the starfish, He will multiply your obedience beyond what you can see.   Scriptures from This Episode Psalm 138:3 — “In the day when I cried out, You answered me, And made me bold with strength in my soul.” Psalm 37:23 — “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.” Proverbs 16:9 — “A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” Hebrews 12:2 — “Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” Romans 8:31 — “If God is for us, who can be against us?” Hebrews 11:1 — “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”   This isn't just an episode to listen to once. It's a message to return to whenever doubt or fear creeps in. Because when you say yes to God, He writes a story greater than anything you could imagine.
