Have you ever found yourself taking the cross of Christ for granted? As Christians, it's easy for us to get callous towards Calvary but we must remember the amazing love Jesus poured out for us! In this message called, THE CROSS OF CHRIST, Pastor Jeff Schreve shares the prophetic words King David wrote in Psalm 22 regarding the crucifixion of the coming Messiah.
(Scroll down to download a free companion guide designed to help you more deeply process this episodes content.) In today’s episode, Carol is joined by author and Bible teacher Melissa Spoelstra for a powerful conversation about fear, spiritual warfare, and the God who reigns over both heaven and earth. Drawing from her new Bible study, Melissa helps us understand why the Bible talks about angels—not so that we’ll become preoccupied with supernatural beings, but so our view of God will grow larger, stronger, and more hope-filled. Together, Carol and Melissa explore what Scripture reveals about the unseen spiritual realm: angelic hosts, messengers, cherubim and seraphim, fallen angels, and even Satan. But more importantly, they highlight the character of the God who commands the angel armies, sets boundaries on evil, strengthens His servants through suffering, and offers refuge in moments of fear. This episode gently but boldly addresses questions many believers wrestle with:• What battles am I facing that I can’t see? • How do I fight fear without becoming fearful of spiritual warfare? • Why does God allow testing, and where is He when life feels heavy? • How do angels reveal God’s heart, His protection, and His authority? Through practical insight and biblical clarity, Melissa reminds us that although our battles are real, our God is sovereign, present, and victorious. We don’t fix our eyes on angels—we fix our eyes on the God who created them. And in doing so, we find the hope and courage we need for whatever we’re facing right now. Whether you’re wrestling with anxiety, fear of the unknown, spiritual attack, or simply longing to understand God’s supernatural care more deeply, this conversation will breathe peace and truth into your soul. Key Scriptures Discussed 2 Kings 6 – Elisha’s servant sees the chariots of fire• Hebrews 1 – Angels as ministering spirits• Psalm 91 – God’s promise of protection• Ephesians 6 – Our battle against spiritual forces• Luke 2 – God sends an angel to outcasts• Revelation – Angels in worship and judgment Themes Covered✓ Spiritual warfare without fear✓ God’s sovereignty over heaven and earth✓ Discernment, deception, and truth✓ How angels reveal God’s character✓ The limits God places on Satan Discussion/Reflective Questions: Where in your life right now does fear feel louder than your confidence in God’s reign—and what does remembering the spiritual realm change for you? Which aspect of God’s character, revealed through the ministry of angels, brought you the most comfort or clarity today? How have you sensed spiritual warfare in your thoughts, relationships, or emotions recently—and what truth about God’s authority helps you fight back? What lies or subtle deceptions tend to trigger anxiety for you, and how can Scripture help you recognize and counter them? When have you felt strengthened, protected, or supported by God in a way that you couldn’t fully explain? What did that reveal about His presence? What one step can you take this week to shift your focus away from fear of the enemy and toward a greater trust in the God who rules over everything?

Psalm 711 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me.3 Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go;give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth.6 From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you.7 I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge.8 My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.9 Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.10 For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together.11 They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.”12 Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me.13 May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace.14 As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long— though I know not how to relate them all.16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.18 Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God,till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God?20 Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again;from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up.21 You will increase my honor and comfort me once more.22 I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God;I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered.24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long,for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.

As we wrap up our year together, I want to invite you into this meaningful spiritual practice: looking back on 2025 through the lens of Psalm 107 to identify the “fingerprints of God’s faithfulness.” In this episode, we'll walk through four redemptive storylines found in the Psalm—each representing a way God rescues, restores, and reorients His people. Whether you felt lost, trapped, wounded, self-destructive, or overwhelmed by storms, I encourage you to reflect on how God met you in weakness and brought deliverance. We'll close with encouragement for 2026, including the return of my “One Word” series and an upcoming study of Hebrews with a downloadable study guide. What We Cover: 1. God invites believers to tell their story Psalm 107 opens with an invitation: “Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story.” Reflect on how God has been present—even when it was hard to see. 2. Wisdom comes from reflecting on God's loving deeds The final verse of Psalm 107 is a guiding practice: wise people heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord. 3. Psalm 107 gives four redemption storylines to help interpret your year Psalm 107 offers us four major story arcs that may mirror parts of your 2025: From Longing to Belonging (lost → led home) From Broken to Free (bondage/shame → freedom) From Foolish to Healed (self-destruction → inner renovation) From Pride to Peace (storms and overwhelm → God stills the waves) 4. God often meets us when we are at the end of ourselves Each storyline shares a common theme: people reach the end of their rope, cry out to God, and He responds with rescue. This directly connects us to Jesus’ teachings—less self-reliance opens space for more of God. 5. 2026 will include a “One Word” January + Hebrews Study (Feb–Easter) I'll preview a return to my popular One Word series and share more about a full study of the Book of Hebrews, with a study guide starting in February.

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.’” (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT) We don’t know what the new year will bring. We don’t know what problems we will encounter or what changes will come our way. We don’t even know what blessings the Lord has in store for us. God knows, of course. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord. ‘They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope’” (Jeremiah 29:11 NLT). Wherever His plans take us, one thing is guaranteed. We have no reason to be afraid. No matter what the new year brings our way, Jesus Christ will be with us and for us. Corrie ten Boom, a wonderful woman of God, said, “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.” She was speaking from experience. As a Holocaust survivor, she faced uncertainties about her future that few of us will ever experience. Yet she refused to give in to fear or despair because she knew God. She had read about how He provided for His people in Scripture. She was aware of His potential to work miracles. She had experienced His love and protection in some of the most horrific conditions imaginable. The psalmist wrote, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him” (Psalm 24:1 NLT). Nothing is beyond the Creator’s power. Proverbs 19:21 says, “You can make many plans, but the Lord’s purpose will prevail” (NLT). The apostle Paul wrote, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (Romans 8:28 NLT). And in Isaiah 41:10, God Himself says, “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand” (NLT). There’s a sense of relief in acknowledging that God is in control of our future. We don’t have to take on the burden of control ourselves. Instead, we can focus on following His direction, obeying His instructions, and prioritizing His will. God stands ready to bless us in this coming year. But we must be ready to walk with Him, worship Him, and obey Him. We can’t expect the Lord to bless someone who is in opposition to His law and His love. As we wrap up the year, it’s only natural that we do a little reflection. As you look back on 2025, was it a year in which you progressed spiritually? Was it a year in which you found yourself becoming more like Jesus Christ? Or was there some kind of spiritual breakdown? If so, now is a good time to make a change. Now is the time to resolve to grow closer to Jesus Christ. Reflection question: What would trusting God with your future look like in 2026?

Psalm 104 and Ecclesiastes 8: Man's Glory Is Fading; God's Glory Is Everlasting by Shawn Ozbun
It's Monday, December 29th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. (Contact@eanvoiceit.com) Trump Orders Airstrike Against ISIS Militants in Nigeria President Donald Trump ordered an airstrike against ISIS-affiliated militants in northwest Nigeria on Christmas Day! Persecution.org reports that Christians in Nigeria have faced ongoing attacks with minimal support from the international community until recently. In the first 7 months of this year alone, more than 7000 Christians have been killed, an average of 35 per day. President Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the ISIS militants have been, ‘viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians.' Christmas Celebrations Return to Bethlehem and Nazareth FOX News reports that Christmas celebrations returned this year to both Bethlehem and Nazareth. In Nazareth, where Jesus grew up, festivities were rooted in a growing Christian presence. In Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, celebrations took place after more than two years of disruption. Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics reports that over 184,000 Christians live in Israel as of Christmas Eve of 2024 a growth of 0.7%. This makes Israel one of the few countries in the Middle East where the Christian community continues to grow. This is good news! However, Heather Johnston, founder and CEO of the US Israel Education Association said, ‘At Christmas, the contrast between Nazareth and Bethlehem tells a larger story. Christians are flourishing in Nazareth under Israeli rule, while in Bethlehem, under Palestinian Authority, the Christian population has been shrinking for years.' In fact there were reports for multiple incidents targeting Christians in the week leading up to Christmas for those living under Palestinian Authority areas, like Bethlehem.
