Are you going to believe the doctor's report? Is your "faith" in human reasoning or a supernatural God? In today's episode of The Vertical Relationship, Melia highlights the need for balance between acknowledging scientific evidence and embracing spiritual truths. She touches on how worldviews shape our culture and encourages listeners to seek Jesus for healing over other voices! Yes, even a professional or doctor. Scientific materialism, which prioritizes empirical evidence and dismisses the supernatural, dominates many hearts in our society. Let us be reminded that science is not the only form of truth. Faith, as described in Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 4:18, and Hebrews 11:27, is the evidence of things unseen. There is a need for balance between ignoring or obsessing over the supernatural. One thing is for sure; don't put God in a box. His supernatural abilities over exceed your square minded thinking!

Generosity isn't just about giving—it's an act of worship, a blessing, and a powerful witness. In this message, PB shares key insights from his recent Holy Land trip to Egypt and an inspiring conversation with a remarkable woman named Robyn. Through her story and the principles in 2 Corinthians 9, we learn that when we live generously, God blesses us abundantly—not for personal gain, but so we can bless others. Join us as we explore what it means to live a life of radical generosity and how it shapes our faith, church, and community. Don't miss this powerful message on the impact of giving with a grateful heart!
"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." —James 1:22Have you ever felt a nudge in your heart, a quiet urging that felt undeniably divine? Maybe it came at an unexpected moment, a subtle whisper in the chaos of your day. The question is, what do you do with it? Hearing God's voice is one thing—acting on it is another. The real power of faith lies not in what we hear but in how we respond.Throughout scripture, God's whisper has spurred His people into bold action. Think of Noah, building an ark under sunny skies because God said a flood was coming. Or Moses, confronting Pharaoh with nothing but a staff and God's promise. They didn't just hear; they obeyed. Their faith transformed whispers into miracles.The same is true for us. God's guidance often comes in gentle impressions—an idea to encourage a friend, a conviction to step out of your comfort zone, or a prompting to share your faith. But those whispers are invitations, not conclusions. They require your "yes" to become reality.So how do you align your life with God's leading? First, cultivate a habit of listening. Daily prayer and time in God's Word sharpen your spiritual ears. Next, take small, practical steps. Faithful obedience often begins with tiny acts of trust—reaching out, giving generously, or simply pausing to pray. Finally, expect God to show up. His whispers are never empty, and when you act in faith, His power unfolds in ways you can't predict.Question of the Day: What step of faith is God asking you to take today, and how can you act on it?Let's Pray:Lord, teach us to move when You speak. Help us not only to hear Your voice but to trust You enough to act. Give us courage for each step, knowing You go before us.

How do you come back from a 1% chance of survival? How do you fight back when life gives you every reason to give up? John O'Leary didn't simply survive a devastating childhood fire—he found a way to transform his battle into something far greater. In this episode, John shares the approach that helped him overcome incredible odds and how you can apply it to your own challenges in life.

KEY TOPICS How a near-fatal fire taught John the ultimate lesson in resilience—and why it's relevant to your life today. Refusing to embrace victimhood: Why most people settle for excuses instead of pushing past their pain.

Rev. Calvin Compagner - Scripture: Psalm 46 Text: Psalm 46
Today, we're discussing how humility shapes our actions and service to others. Our key Scripture for this episode is Philippians 2:3-4. We'll explore how to serve others in God's name with a humble heart.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Philippians 2:3-4: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." This passage emphasizes the importance of humility in our interactions and service.Humility is essential in our service to others. When we value others above ourselves and seek to serve without selfish motives, we reflect Christ's love and humility. Serving others in humility means putting their needs first and acting out of genuine care and compassion.Examples of Humble Service:1. The Story of Mother Teresa: Mother Teresa dedicated her life to serving the poorest of the poor in Kolkata, India. Her selfless service, driven by humility, brought hope and dignity to countless lives and showed the profound impact of humble actions.2. A Local Volunteer: John, a church member, started a weekly food drive for the homeless. His humble actions inspired others in the community to join him, transforming the outreach program into a significant support system for those in need.Practical Tips for Putting God's Instructions into Humble Action:* Seek God's Guidance in Prayer: Begin by asking God to show you where He wants you to serve. James 1:5 encourages us to ask God for wisdom, and He will provide it generously.* Start Small and Be Faithful: You don't need to start with grand gestures. Begin with small acts of service in your immediate community. Luke 16:10 tells us, "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much."* Serve with a Humble Heart: Approach your service with humility, valuing others above yourself. Philippians 2:3-4 encourages us to act without selfish ambition or conceit, putting others' needs before our own.Embracing humility in our service allows us to reflect Christ's love and make a meaningful impact.Question: What small act of humble service can you start today to make a difference in your community?Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for teaching us the importance of humility in our actions. Help us to serve others with a humble heart, putting their needs above our own. Guide us in finding ways to make a meaningful impact in our communities. May our actions reflect Your love and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.Remember, serving others in humility honors God and shows His love. Stay vigilant, stay prayerful, and always be ready to serve others in God's name. Let's get to work.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

[00:30] Jury Deliberates ‘Get Trump' Show Trial (38 minutes) The jury begins deliberating on Donald Trump's hush money case today. Joe Biden has claimed that his administration had nothing to do with District Attorney Alvin Bragg's persecution of Trump—but Biden's campaign sent actor Robert De Niro and two Capitol Hill police officers to lambast Trump at a press conference outside the trial yesterday. Even dedicated regime propagandists like Mika Brzezinski thought this was a step too far. [38:30] Celtic Throne Promo (4 minutes) [42:30] End-Time Urgency (13 minutes) Putting God and His Work first is the basic theme of the Bible. This kind of dedication requires a mindset of intense urgency.

And how do we do this? By putting God's love into action. 1 John 3:11, 16-24 fmhouston.com
We love to put things in a box…our work, our home life, even church and often times we even try to put God in a box. Listen to this episode to find out why God should never fit in our box
As we continue to break down our new mission statement, Lance turns to 1 John to look at God's love, and the way God calls us to give our lives to one another. The fruit reveals the plant. When we remain in the vine, the fruit of the spirit grows out of u 1 John 4:7-21 fmhouston.com

For a long time movement and moving forward has been applauded in Western Culture. Bigger faster better has been a common goal for many. But for many, the tide is shifting. The lure of bigger faster better is being replaced with deeper, slower, and purer. We have seen evidence over and over again that bigger isn't always better. Often in our mindset shifting around something we can swing to the other extreme and pick which side we are on. Are we team hustle and achievement or team minimalist and chill? Personally, I'm a both and girl. I've def always been passionate about the things I care deeply about which leads me to action but through the years I've grown and I'm continuing to grow in confident action that comes from surrendered stillness. That's me… and I know we are all wired differently so how you live might and should look like you. Even you getting still… The outflow of our connection and relationship with God will look different. As well as how the connection takes place. The important thing is that you and I do connect with our Creator. I would love to invite you today to let go of any preconceived ideas you have about what that should look like. And I know that's hard because you can't unload years of programming in an instant. But I would love for you to just open your heart and mind to the possibility that there might be ways God wants to connect and speak to you that you have yet to discover. God is God and can and does speak to us however and whenever he chooses. We get a glimpse of a multitude of ways as we read through scripture. We see God speak through dreams and burning bushes... evidence that he will meet us where we are. In each and every season of our lives. God is at work in and around us. I think in some seasons we put God on hold. I mean we might not come right out and say that but our actions say that. We might be in a busy season so we keep running full steam ahead thinking one day… when things slow down I'll spend more time with God. Or we might be in a really hard demanding season that is sucking the life out of us and we feel depleted and don't feel like we have the energy for relationships… including God so we think of a future season where we envision easier days to be more intentionally in our relationship with God. I get it. Life can keep us feeling like we are on an endless loop, and we can fall for the lie that we don't have time now and the illusion of “one day” So how do you get still when nothing is still around you? Different seasons demand different things from us. AND different seasons gift different graces to us. I can remember being at home all day with young children and my soul desperately longing for connection with God and another adult ha! And I would experience many moments of frustration trying to navigate what I felt I desired and how to make that work. I finally realized life had changed for me and I was in a different season so things that had previously worked probably weren't going to work in the same way and would probably look different. When I quit trying to force something to look like it had looked in previous years, maybe I wouldn't have long stretches to read or talk in person with a friend over coffee. But I could grab moments all throughout the day to fill my spirit and soul with what I was longing for. I had to let go of the idea that spending time with God had to look a certain way. That the spirit of God could speak to me as powerfully while I'm working through a sink full of dishes as he could at a church altar. Don't allow your circumstances to lie to you and convince you that God can't meet you right where you are. Maybe you are in a season that is demanding work-wise, and you don't feel like you have much to give at the end of your day. Don't wait to have time. Take the time. For most of us… time will never come to us. There is always something offering to fill our time. This is why we must be intentional about taking time to connect with God. whenever and however this. The when and how is the least important fact or detail…the most important is the interaction and connection that takes place. God is God of the seasons and will meet you in the moments each of you are walking through. My heart is so passionate about encouraging you to be intentional about connecting with your Creator because he created you for connection. He created you for relationship… not confined to special times during the year or special service times but all throughout the moments of your day. However…and wherever…. I'm passionate about it because I've experienced the life-giving transformation that comes out of being intentional about connecting with God. and I feel like we overcomplicate things. Even with what I share with you guys about practices and rhythms that have been so life-giving to me personally. The bottom line is I want to encourage you to connect… talking and listening to God speak to YOU. I've mentioned that in the past few years, I've found myself intentionally walking into the new year slower and more reflective. Reflective in the sense that instead of setting new goals reflecting on how God is leading me and asking for clarity and confirmation. And here's the thing you guys….this relationship with God that we have been invited to isn't one-sided! We talk to him and he talks to us…in many different ways. Just this past week I was overwhelmed by how clearly God has been and is directing my steps by speaking in several different ways to my spirit. Confirming, convicting, and challenging me all at the same time as only God can do. Ask and expect to receive…it might not come like you were expecting but keep expecting So as we are at the start of a fresh new calendar year in all of your planning and scheduling … don't pack your schedule so full that you can't breathe or receive the fresh breath of God in your life. He will show up and meet you in and out of every season… let's keep our hearts open to be aware of and receive all that he has for us. *****Credits***** Intro & Outro Music Credit: Music: https://www.purple-planet.com - License Free Background Music Credit: Alexander Blu https://www.facebook.com/AlexanderBluMusic/ Ending Prayer Music: Licensor's Username: https://pixabay.com/users/music_for_videos-26992513/ Licensee: amplifylifemedia Audio File Title: Relaxing Audio File URL: https://pixabay.com/music/modern-classical-relaxing-145038/ Audio File ID: 145038
