In Part 5 of this Wednesday night series on Divine Healing, Pastor Mark Butler teaches on healing through the lens of redemption. He walks through Isaiah 53, Romans 8, and other key scriptures to show that divine healing isn't just possible—it's part of our covenant and inheritance as believers. Pastor Mark reminds us that Jesus bore both our sins and our sicknesses on the cross, and that healing has already been purchased through His redemptive work.
Send us a textIn this episode of the Village Church podcast, we continue our sermon series through the book of Ruth. Jim Wroth walks us through the first half of chapter 4, exploring the significance of the city gate, the role of the kinsman redeemer, and Boaz's intentional plan to marry Ruth. Along the way, Jim challenges us to reflect on our own privilege and consider what the Gospel calls us to do with it. Support the showThe Village Church's sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God's work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God's kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose. Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.

From a violent East L.A. childhood under an abusive preacher father to stabbing his dad at 16, Joe's rage fueled over 30 audacious bank heists, outwitting the FBI with disguises and body doubles. Solitary confinement nearly broke him, but a transformative correspondence sparked redemption. Now a writer and Hollywood consultant (Baby Driver, Taken), Joe unpacks trauma, toxic masculinity, and the system's role in crafting criminals. Is his redemption real, or is he a pawn in a larger narrative? GUEST: Joe Loya is a former bank robber turned acclaimed writer and Hollywood consultant. Growing up in East L.A. under a violently abusive Christian minister father, Joe's trauma culminated in stabbing his father at 16, igniting a path to crime. In the late '80s and early '90s, he robbed over 30 banks with cunning disguises and high-speed escapes, earning notoriety as California's most elusive outlaw. After two years in solitary confinement, a correspondence with author Richard Rodriguez sparked his transformation. Loya's memoir, The Man Who Outgrew His Prison Cell, and his work on films like Baby Driver and Taken showcase his storytelling, rooted in his youth as a Bible preacher. Featured in The Guardian and CNN, Joe's journey from rage to redemption raises questions about trauma, criminality, and the system's role in shaping both. Joe's remarkable story is the subject of Season Four of the podcast series, The Burden: Get the Moey and Run.

This summer, we're journeying through the life of Abraham—one of the most significant and human stories in all of Scripture. Through divine encounters, setbacks, and slow formation, God shapes Abraham not just into a man of faith, but into a partner in His redemptive mission.At the heart of this series is a question:What does it mean to be discipled into partnership with God?From leaving comfort behind to learning trust…From receiving promises to waiting on them…From faltering in fear to walking in faith…Abraham's story shows us that true discipleship isn't about perfection—it's about transformation.Each week, we'll explore a different chapter in his journey—highlighting not only the tests and triumphs of Abraham, but the faithfulness of a God who draws near, forms His people, and invites them to participate in His purposes.This week, Pastor John Crawdford teaches out of Genesis 12:1-3.WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved, or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app https://pushpay.com/get?handle=redemp...OR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook: / redemptiontempe. .Twitter: / redemptiontem Instagram: / redemptiontempe.. .GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.

Join Covenant Eyes host Karen Potter as she welcomes special guest Yamilexis Fernandez for a powerful "Voices of Victory" episode. Yamilexis shares her unbelievable story of overcoming a unique and challenging past, including breaking generational curses of witchcraft, abuse, and pornography addiction. In this episode, Yami offers advice for those feeling desperate and alone, emphasizing the importance of continually showing up, forgiving yourself, and recognizing that God doesn't remember confessed sins. She beautifully unpacks the relationship between God's grace and accountability, explaining how grace super abounds beyond all sin, and how our love for God motivates obedience. Yami also provides powerful insights for young women battling comparison and the negative impacts of social media. Drawing from Scripture, she highlights that comparison is rooted in a misunderstanding of God and self, and encourages listeners to focus on their own actions and identity in Christ. She also calls on older Christian women to be vulnerable and share their stories to minister to younger generations who are craving authentic connection. This episode is a testament to God's transformative power, reminding us that even through the hardest trials, there is light, hope, and healing available.

In the second episode titled "God In the Good," we pick up as Mattie Jackson continues sharing her transformative journey after losing her 28-year-old husband to a traumatic brain injury three weeks shy of their first wedding anniversary. She shared an inside peek behind her own healing process, and how God helped her shift her focus from everything she lost to everything she still had. In the midst of unthinkable tragedy, Mattie shares how she faced the challenges of moving beyond survival, facing grief, sorrow, and trauma, and rebuilding life with hope.But God showed her life beyond this tragedy -- one that she could have never imagined....until she was ready for it. She eventually found purpose in her grief, and shared the power of turning "your mess into your message" and finding fulfillment in impacting others who are struggling in similar ways. Through her work with Nashville (the non-profit she co-founded to support widows and orphans) and writing a memoir, Mattie found purpose, honoring her late husband's legacy and demonstrating the transformative potential of choosing joy amid pain. She also shares about her journey to finding love again after the death of her husband. As she delves into her own redemption story, Mattieie shares how God not only redeemed her personal life but also her purpose-filled professional life, and now she truly believes in the coexistence of pain and joy, sharing her belief that when one has the courage to delve into the depths of pain, joy's well gets deeper GUEST: @mattiejackson Mattie's Website: https://www.mattiejackson.net/ Mattie's Podcast: In Joy Life Podcast Mattie's Book: Lemons on Friday HOST: Leanne Ellington // StresslessEating.com // @leanneellington To learn more about Leanne, head over to www.LeanneEllington.com, and to share your thoughts, questions, feedback, or guest suggestions instantly, head on over to www.WhatsGodGotToDoWithIt.com.Follow Leanne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leanneellington/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Midnight GlacierDrop is finally here, and in this episode, I break down everything you need to know about claiming your NIGHT tokens.Midnight is a new privacy-focused blockchain built by IOG, featuring two key tokens: NIGHT (a utility and governance token) and DUST (a non-transferable shielded resource for private transactions).This episode walks through the entire claim and redemption process, eligibility requirements, and why the staggered release of NIGHT is designed to prevent token dumping. The GlacierDrop claim is open to holders of ADA, BTC, ETH, XRP, BNB, SOL, AVAX, and BAT based on a snapshot taken on June 11, 2025. ADA holders receive the largest allocation—50% of the eligible airdrop supply. You'll need to connect your wallet to the official GlacierDrop portal when it launches and claim within a 60-day window.After that, unclaimed tokens move to the Scavenger Mine phase, followed by a long-term Lost & Found period that spans four years. Redemption of NIGHT tokens follows a 360-day vesting schedule with unlocks every 90 days, starting randomly within the first 90 days post-claim.Each redemption requires a transaction on Cardano, so be ready to cover network fees.Also, Cardano SPOs can earn NIGHT by participating in Midnight's block production. Delegators to those pools will benefit too—so be sure to speak with your SPO.
Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike dives into Romans 8:18–25 and reflects on the brokenness we see all around us. From natural disasters to personal suffering, the world often feels like it's unraveling—but the Bible tells us it's all part of a deeper story. Creation itself is groaning, pointing us to the reality that God has something far greater in store. Our present struggles remind us that a future glory is coming—one that will make today's pain seem light by comparison. Hope is not lost. Redemption is on the way.
In Week 4 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt walks us through Jonah 3, where we see the ripple effects of repentance across an entire city. Sin has immediate impact and long-term consequences—but the grace of God meets us in the middle of our rebellion with an invitation to turn. In Nineveh, even imperfect obedience from a reluctant prophet leads to radical transformation. Through Jonah's flawed witness, we're reminded that repentance isn't just regret—it's turning toward life. In a world shaped by distorted contexts and broken systems, the gospel breaks in with hope, power, and new direction.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

Sonny Von Cleveland: Vocalizing Our Pain to Heal | The Hopeaholics Podcast Sonny Von Cleveland—a man who turned a life marked by profound trauma into a beacon of hope and redemption. From a childhood scarred by molestation beginning at age three, a felony charge at seven, and a harrowing prison sentence at 16, Sonny's story is one of survival against unimaginable odds. He opens up about enduring a violent prison environment, including a brutal assault in his first week, and how he adopted a gang mentality to survive, only to face a pivotal moment in solitary confinement in 2004 after a drug-fueled crime spree landed him back behind bars. A mentor's persistent question—“Why are you so angry?”—sparked a 19-month transformation, teaching Sonny emotional intelligence, forgiveness, and the power of vocalizing pain through writing forgiveness letters and reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Emerging from prison in 2016 at age 35, Sonny built a music career, signed with Ferocious Records, and later pivoted to YouTube success, only to face new challenges, including betrayal and the loss of his channel. Now married to a woman he met through a podcast, Sonny runs Frisky Business, the only cat café in the Coachella Valley, and the Von Cleveland Foundation, while speaking at schools and juvenile halls to break cycles of abuse. He shares his upcoming 22-city U.S. tour, “Conversations of Redemption,” starting July 1, where he'll explore city traumas and invite people to share their stories, partnered with Operation Light Shine to combat child sex abuse material. This episode is a testament to the human spirit's resilience, showing that no matter how dark the past, healing is possible through vulnerability and purpose.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #addictionrecoverypodcast #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

"God takes what they've been through and turns it to good." These powerful words from Eddie Mansfield capture the essence of his extraordinary transformation story shared on Road to Redemption.Eddie's journey begins in Owensboro, Kentucky, where despite a loving Christian upbringing, he veered into substance abuse at age 15. What followed was a 23-year descent through addiction, wasted opportunities, and escalating legal troubles. By age 38, Eddie found himself in an Atlanta jail cell facing a potential 10-year sentence for methamphetamine possession. It was here, at his lowest point, that something unexpected happened—he reconnected with faith through a fellow inmate who knew the Bible intimately.While Eddie studied Scripture behind bars, his mother began having recurring dreams that her son would someday lead a faith-based recovery program—visions that seemed impossible given his circumstances. Then came what Eddie can only describe as divine intervention: three days before Christmas 2006, through an unexpected act of mercy from a retiring district attorney, Eddie was released directly to a rehab facility in Destin, Florida. Christmas Eve became his sobriety date, marking the beginning of a radical life transformation.Today, Eddie serves as director of Path of Grace, a thriving women's recovery ministry with 54 residents and 12 graduates in transition. His personal experience with addiction fuels his compassion and effectiveness in helping others find freedom. With his wife Kayla (herself a recovery success story) by his side, Eddie's life stands as powerful testimony that no one is beyond redemption and that our deepest pain can become our most powerful platform for helping others.For more info on Path of Grace in Miramar Beach FL goto https://www.pathofgrace.net or reach them at:Mailing Address PO Box 9261, Miramar Beach, FL 32550email: PathofGrace@gmail.com Tel. 850.974.4573For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com
Send us a textToday we look at Proverbs 10:22 and the profound truth about the nature of God's provision that many believers overlook.When Israel crossed the Jordan River, God didn't just part the waters—He completely dried the ground beneath their feet. This wasn't merely practical; it revealed God's character. He doesn't give partial blessings or halfway solutions. From creation to salvation, from feeding thousands to healing the sick, God's work is always complete.Yet many of us approach prayer with a scarcity mindset, afraid to ask boldly or expecting God's gifts to come with hidden troubles attached. We've forgotten who we're praying to—the eternal, limitless God who exists outside creation's framework while intimately working within it. The God who made you in His image, who calls you beloved, who gave His only Son for your salvation.The way we pray reveals what we believe about God. Do we trust Him as the giver of good gifts? Do we believe His blessings truly come without sorrow? When Jesus healed, He didn't leave people needing further treatment. When He fed crowds, everyone ate until satisfied with baskets left over. When He saved us, He didn't just rescue us from hell but gave us abundant life and seated us with Him in heavenly places.God delights in your bold requests that bring glory to His name. Whatever situation you're facing, He wants to walk through it with you, providing in ways that exceed your imagination and create opportunities for testimony. Your prayers don't need to be timid—approach Him confidently as a child who knows their Father gives perfectly good gifts.Contact us at redeemingthelost@icloud.com or visit gbtministries.com to share how this message has impacted you.Support the showNEW BOOK!

In this week's episode of the Brews & Cruise Podcast, we sit down with professional wrestler, father, gamer, and survivor — Bryant Dismukes Jr. What starts as a casual conversation over Arizona green tea quickly becomes a powerful deep-dive into one man's transformation.Bryant shares his story of relocating from the chaos and concrete of Chicago to the quiet, small-town pace of Winona, Minnesota — a move that marked the beginning of a personal evolution. We talk about his early days in the wrestling world, the grind of independent promotions, and what it really takes to entertain a crowd while battling your own demons behind the scenes. Our shared history in the ring brings a unique, behind-the-curtain energy to the conversation — equal parts nostalgia and hard truth.Beyond wrestling, Bryant opens up about his love for music (from old-school rap to deep cuts), his passion for video games, and how these hobbies became lifelines when life got heavy. He speaks candidly about his family — the love, the responsibility, and the wake-up call that came when he realized he was spiraling into addiction.In one of the episode's most honest and gripping moments, Bryant walks us through his journey to sobriety — the breaking point, the setbacks, and the decision to fight for his life outside the ring. It's emotional, raw, and incredibly inspiring.This episode isn't just about wrestling moves — it's about real moves. Life moves. Recovery, fatherhood, friendship, and the fight to become someone you can finally be proud of.Drink: Arizona Green TeaAlvin Gray (Social Media)YouTube https://youtube.com/@alvingray3516?si=opJeZ-xhAAty8qj7Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/share/19DEd6PZ36/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/rebelag610?igsh=MWk3MnJobnYzOWQzbA==TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@rebelag610?_t=ZP-8xQ60EadhsN&_r=1SponsorJacobson Real Estate Cohttps://jacobsonrealestatecompany.comBrews & Cruise Podcasthttps://brewsandcruisepodcast.com
Now Boaz had gone up to the gate and sat down there. And behold, the redeemer, of whom Boaz had spoken, came by. So Boaz said, “Turn aside, friend; sit down here.” And he turned aside and sat down. 2 And he took ten men of the elders of the city and said, “Sit down here.” So they sat down. 3 Then he said to the redeemer, “Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is selling the parcel of land that belonged to our relative Elimelech. 4 So I thought I would tell you of it and say, ‘Buy it in the presence of those sitting here and in the presence of the elders of my people.' If you will redeem it, redeem it. But if you[a] will not, tell me, that I may know, for there is no one besides you to redeem it, and I come after you.” And he said, “I will redeem it.” 5 Then Boaz said, “The day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you also acquire Ruth[b] the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in his inheritance.” 6 Then the redeemer said, “I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I impair my own inheritance. Take my right of redemption yourself, for I cannot redeem it.”
Pastor Gregg shared that the Book of Ruth ends with a powerful picture of redemption—showing how God brings purpose from pain through sacrifice, faithfulness, truth, and obedience.

In a world gripped by chaos, the Old Testament prophet Elijah stood firm — confronting kings, enduring drought, and defying darkness with faith. How can obedience and trust in God bring hope in hopeless times?

Read Onlinehile they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, gave it to them, and said, “Take it; this is my body.” Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it. He said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many.” Mark 14:22–24 (Year B Gospel)At the holy Mass, as soon as the priest pronounces the words of the consecration, transforming the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ our Lord, he genuflects, rises, and then says, “The mystery of faith.” What is “the mystery of faith?” Oftentimes, when we say that something is a mystery, we mean that the conclusion is hidden but that there are certain clues to help solve the mystery. And once the mystery is solved, everything is clear and it is no longer a mystery.“The mystery of faith” is much different. Those words are spoken at Mass immediately after the consecration as a way of drawing the faithful into a holy awe and amazement of what just took place. But this mystery can only produce wonder and awe if the reality of what just took place is understood through the gift of faith. Faith is knowing and believing without perceiving the reality before us with our five senses or through logical deduction. In other words, faith produces true knowledge of a spiritual reality that can only be known, understood and believed through spiritual insight. Therefore, if we attend the Mass and have been gifted with the knowledge of faith, then as soon as the consecration of the bread and wine takes place, we will cry out interiorly, “My Lord and my God!” We will know that God the Son is present before us in a veiled way. Our eyes do not perceive, nor do any of our senses reveal to us the great reality before us. We cannot rationally deduce what just took place. Instead, we come to know and believe that the Son of God, the Savior of the World, is now present before us in His fullness, under the veil of mere bread and wine.In addition to the divine presence of our Lord and our God, the entire Mystery of our Redemption is made present. Saint Pope John Paul II tells us that in this moment there is a “oneness in time” that links the Paschal Mystery, that is, the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus, to every moment that the Eucharist is celebrated and made present through the words of consecration. And that unity between each Mass and the Paschal Mystery “leads us to profound amazement and gratitude” (Ecclesia de Eucharistia, #5). Do you sense and experience this profound amazement and gratitude each time you attend the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass? Do you realize as you attend the Mass and as the words of consecration are spoken that the entire Mystery of your redemption is made present before you, hidden from your eyes but visible to your soul by faith? Do you understand that it is God the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity Who descends to us to dwell with us in that moment of time in this glorious Sacrament?Reflect, today, upon the hidden but real Mystery of Faith. Allow yourself to be drawn into a wonder and awe at what you are privileged to attend. Let your faith in the Most Holy Eucharist grow by being open to a deepening of this gift of faith through spiritual insight and belief. Behold this great Gift of the Eucharist with the eyes of faith and you will be drawn into the wonder and awe that God wants to bestow upon you. My ever-glorious Eucharistic Lord, I do believe that You are here, made present in our world under the form of bread and wine, every time the Holy Mass is celebrated. Fill me with a deeper faith in this Holy Gift, dear Lord, so that I may be drawn into wonder and awe every time I witness this holy Consecration. Jesus, I trust in You.

Today, we sit down with Christian content creator April Chapman to discuss her journey from the prosperity gospel to a biblically grounded faith, her path to healing after abortions, and how she navigates racial and political divides as a believer. April shares about her upbringing in New York City, her exposure to the prosperity gospel at a megachurch, and the transformative moment she encountered the true gospel. She opens up about the pain of her past abortions and how she confronted her sin and found healing through God's grace. We also explore her rejection of "racial reconciliation" narratives that elevate ethnic distinctions over gospel unity. How can Christians celebrate our God-given differences without falling into division or ethnic idolatry?
