In March our case study focused on the Until We Are All Free Movement with guest Kevin Reese, Co-Founder/Co-Executive Director of UWAAF and Co-Founder/CEO of Until We Are All Free Consulting Group.Question: God, what is it that you're working on in my life? What do you do when the answer is build a bridge of people and be a bridge through and with people? Kevin is the answer. Kevin grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He spent 14 years incarcerated inside of the criminal justice system. During that time, he founded the BRIDGE, a grassroots group of directly impacted criminal justice experts whose mission is to abolish mass incarceration and to find a path to true transformative criminal justice. Kevin says,“My idea was to create a program that builds a bridge between people like me, mostly men in prison but women, too, and the community. That bridge and this work is actually revolutionary. Because I'm not supposed to be able to make a connection to people on the outside. Prison is all about preventing that. But the BRIDGE partnership we've been working on gives light to an entire caste of people who are incarcerated.”Youth Empowerment Services, of Pittsburgh PA: “Ahead of its time and punching above its weight, Youth Enrichment Services (YES) formed in 1994...The heart of YES is a spirit of mentorship...By leveraging their unique skills and abilities and centering their voices, YES has created a formula for success that influences community growth, economic prosperity, and student-driven leadership."

Today, I pass on my answer to a great question asked by a Christian state legislator who listened to last week’s podcast about working to restore God’s “ordered liberty”: If we are to do that, how should we have argued for the bill not allowing men to compete in women’s sports? Equally important is what can we learn about ourselves by thinking through the two different approaches?

What do you do when faith feels fake, heavy, or full of rules you can’t live up to? In today’s episode, Ash sits down with Kate Westwood, who opens up about her journey of moving from a place where questioning wasn’t allowed, to discovering that God invites us to wrestle, ask, and seek Him with honesty. Together they unpack the tension between “having enough faith” and trusting God’s will, the pressure of performance-driven Christianity, and the freedom that comes when you realise Jesus doesn’t demand blind belief—He wants relationship. This all leads into today’s verse, 1 John 3:16:“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” Kate’s honesty reminds us that God is big enough for our questions, gentle with our doubts, and faithful even when faith feels complicated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Every night, join Father Joseph Matlak as he ends the day with prayer and reflection. In a few short minutes, and using the Douay-Rheims psalter for his reflections, Father Matlak guides you in prayer and shares a brief reflection and a thorough examination of conscience providing you with the encouragement necessary to go forward with peace and strength. ________________
Habakkuk was saying to God, “My country is in a mess! Why don't You do something about it?” If you are asking “Why, God?” about anything, you can identify with Habakkuk and profit from God's answer to him.
We dare not question God, putting him on trial, standing in judgment over him. Instead, we ought to humble ourselves and repent, relying on his mercy and grace, trusting that he knows far better than us, that our thinking is warped by sin, but that he is working all things together for good, as we trust place our faith in Jesus, and follow him.

Title: No Matter the Question, God IS the Answer! Scripture: Psalm 42 Speaker: Dr. Victor Borden Date: August 17, 2025 AM
"How Long, Oh Lord?" The Psalmists cry out to the Lord on a number of occasions wondering about the purposes of God on different occasions. Some of the language that they use might even be considered frowned upon in modern Christian circles. But shouldn't the word of God's example in the Psalms speak and perhaps even correct the way we pray in joy OR sorrow? With the three hosts united again, listen in and hear how we might allow or even disallow the questioning of God.Support the show

Because sometimes, the path to stronger faith is paved with honest questions.

In this episode of Ask the God Pod, we’re diving headfirst into a question so many of us carry but are often afraid to ask: Is it okay to question God? Maybe you’ve been told that doubt is dangerous or that wrestling with God is a sign of weak faith. But what if asking hard questions is actually part of growing a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him? Leanne opens up about her own struggles with faith, doubt, and getting real with God, and explores how the Bible is full of people—like David, Job, and even Jesus—who brought their raw, unfiltered questions to God. If you’ve ever felt guilty for questioning or wondered if you’re “doing faith wrong,” this episode will help you reframe doubt as an invitation to deeper connection—not distance.

Matthew 27:45-46 From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. 46 About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,[c] lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”) (NIV) 1. Choose to be real while still being reverent. Matthew 11:28-29 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (NLT) 1 Peter 5:5-9 - “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” 6 So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. 7 Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. 8 Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. (NLT) 2. Choose to rest in what you do understand as you wrestle with what you don’t understand yet. Isaiah 55:8-9 - “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. (NIV) Psalm 143:1, Lord, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief (NIV) Psalm 143:5 I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. (NIV) Psalm 119:68 - You are good and do only good. (NLT) 3. Choose ultimate over immediate. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 - Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (NIV) Romans 8:18 - I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. (NIV) Romans 8:28 - And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[b] have been called according to his purpose. (NIV) 4. Choose to worship rather than worry. Psalm 142:1-2 I cry aloud to the Lord; I lift up my voice to the Lord for mercy. 2 I pour out before him my complaint; before him I tell my trouble. (NIV) Psalm 22:22-24 - “I will proclaim your name to my brothersand sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people. 23 Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel! 24 For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.” (NLT) Psalm 34:1-3 - I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace.[a] 2 I will boast of all his kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. 3 Let us praise the Lord together and exalt his name. (TLB) Hebrews 12:28-29. 'Since we are receiving a kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshipping him with holy fear and awe, 29 For our God is a devouring fire.' (NLT)

In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood Podcast, Tony Arsenal and Jesse Schwamb delve into the profound theological concept of God's immutability, or unchangeability. They discuss how this attribute is integral to understanding God's nature, the implications for His promises, and its grounding in scripture. The conversation also touches on the contrast between God's unchangeability and human volition, as well as the relationship between theology and philosophy. A must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the steadfast nature of God.

Why is Zechariah punished for questioning God when Mary asks the same question? Today we'll discuss this, that while on the surface these look like similar questions, they're very different at the heart of the question. https://longhollow.com/theforgottenjesuspodcastshownotes
Episode 159: Why Some Question God's Love Most of the listeners of Mavericks & Misfits would never theologically question God's love for humanity. Yet, even those who do not question the theology of His love can still wrestle with the degree of God's love for them personally. Can anything impact – by either increasing or decreasing – God's love for His children? This is no casual question. Much of what we experience in the Christian life is connected to how we receive the love of God for ourselves. The Apostle Paul taught on this topic in Romans 8, and in this episode we will walk through His words as He declares without apology, “No! Nothing can separate us from the covenantal love of the Father which is given to us in Christ!”
In our weeklong journey toward Easter, today is known as Maundy Thursday. This is a significant day in the life of Jesus, and so it's also a significant day for us as children of God. Yet even as his children, we all have moments where we question whether or not he truly loves us. So today, may we be reminded of the depth of his love and the lengths he went to in order to restore a relationship with us. Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 5:8, and today's worship is See The Light by Hillsong Worship. -- Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 to find real rest is for YOU. First15's brand-new devotional book called Rhythms was written with you in mind. Each day of this 28-day devotional invites you to break away from your normal rhythm of waking, eating, working, and sleeping to discover a spiritual rhythm that, when practiced, will lead you into a more vibrant, abundant life in every way that matters. Jesus wasn't kidding when he said you can find rest in the midst of the craziness of life. He can give it to you, and Rhythms will guide you in that direction.
