RUNDOWN Frustrated by another Mariners series loss, Mitch argues that Dan Wilson's quick hook of Emerson Hancock in Cleveland set off the bullpen dominoes that ultimately cost Seattle the game. He and Hotshot Scott debate whether the manager deserves the blame, discuss why the season isn't lost despite the club slipping under .500, and preview an episode packed with Mariners prospect talk, World Cup excitement, and another edition of Release Date trivia. The Mariners' ugly loss in Cleveland sparks a spirited debate over Dan Wilson's bullpen management, whether Emerson Hancock should have finished the sixth inning, and if Seattle is putting itself in impossible situations with its pitching decisions. Mitch, Brady, and Joe also dissect the confusing six-man rotation strategy, discuss whether Emerson Hancock belongs in the bullpen, evaluate internal reinforcements like Ryan Sloan and Patrick Wisdom, preview the upcoming Angels and Blue Jays series, and make their weekly "Out on a Limb" predictions. MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis joins Mitch to break down another loaded Mariners farm system, offering updates on Colt Emerson's development, Felin Celesten's breakout season, and why Seattle continues to boast one of baseball's deepest prospect pipelines. The conversation also dives into Kade Anderson's rapid rise, Ryan Sloan's ace potential, the upcoming MLB Draft, and how the Mariners could eventually use their prospect depth to chase a World Series. Mitch and Jason Puckett spend another episode doing what they do best—arguing over the Mariners, poking fun at each other's broadcasting habits, and turning small disagreements into entertaining debates. They also dive into Puck's upcoming trip to Spain, the Running of the Bulls, World Cup excitement, and the polarizing reaction to U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jim Callis | Senior Writer for MLB Pipeline Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren't / Puck Drop   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Dan Wilson's bullpen decisions, the Mariners' latest collapse, World Cup fever arriving in Seattle, and another entertaining round of Release Date trivia headline the opening segment of Episode 388. 26:50 | Mariners No-Table: Dan Wilson's latest bullpen decisions, the Mariners' muddled pitching plans, growing calls for rotation changes, and another round of "Out on a Limb" predictions fuel this week's Mariners No Table discussion. 1:00:04 | Jim Callis: Callis explains why the Mariners' farm system remains among baseball's best, evaluates Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan's futures, and previews another pivotal MLB Draft for Seattle. 1:21:52 | Jason Puckett: Mitch and Jason Puckett trade playful jabs over the Mariners, preview Puck's Spain adventure, debate the Running of the Bulls, and discuss the golf world's complicated relationship with Wyndham Clark. 1:40:16 | Other Stuff: Justin Bieber at the NHL Draft, Mitch's Justin Bieber karaoke encounter, Phil Mickelson controversy, Buffalo Bills leaving O.J.

On today’s edition on SUFTT, Tim and Mary take a look at the topics du jour that help the listener see that there is so much they are not hearing about. Believers have a choice to make with every passing day and headline, what will we believe about what we have heard? How does the Scripture address it?  Do we have the whole picture? A godly worldview implies that there will be a testing of the spirits and the ongoing action of being a Berean, and when it comes to the news, training ourselves to read between the lines. Today we talk about the Iran deal; with most news commentaries coming against Trump, is there something we are not considering? Not everyone thinks it is a bad deal. We also look at the latest on Fauci, RSV vaccine experiments in the 1960s, and the replacement of Keir Starmer – good, bad or same? Sometimes we subtly believe half truths innocently, but are we also refusing truth at the same time? Proceed with caution here in 2026.

At the long-awaited behest of our Superdelegate patron tier, we look back one of the landmarks of 2000s-era Indie Twee, LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE (2006)... and find a film that embodies that Second-Term Bush Era like few others.

Have you ever been hurt by someone and had no idea what to do with the pain?Maybe it was a friend who betrayed you. A parent who let you down. A coworker, an ex, someone in your own family. And somewhere along the way, you were told the "Christian" response is to just smile, stay silent, and let it happen again.Here's the truth: that's not what Jesus taught.In this message, we're breaking down one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible — Matthew 5:38-48 — where Jesus talks about turning the other cheek, going the extra mile, and loving your enemies. For centuries people have read this as "be a doormat." But Jesus wasn't asking you to be a doormat for people to trample on. He was inviting you to become a doorway His grace can flow through.We'll walk through Jesus' actual 4-step plan for conflict and pain:1. Refuse retaliation — don't become what hurt you2. Create healthy boundaries — turning the other cheek isn't surrendering your responsibility for your life3. Choose generosity over bitterness4. Love and pray for the people who hurt you mostThis isn't about pretending you weren't hurt. It's about not letting what hurt you decide who you become. Whether you're walking with Jesus already or just trying to figure out what real faith, hope, and forgiveness actually look like — this one's for you.

The DOJ and AG nominee Todd Blanche have informed a Senior Federal Judge that they will REFUSE to comply and file sworn testimony under oath to declare once and for all that the Anti-Weaponization Slush Fund is dead and buried, instead effectively telling Judge Brinkema to go pound sand.  Popok ties this outrageous fling together with Judge Williams in Miami's next move, which may have the Slush Fund declared fraudulent after today, as well as the utter refusal by Todd Blanche to ever testify to a court under oath, even if it means the DOJ loses.

David Fought Goliath Without Armor by Autumn Dickson In 1 Samuel 17, we read about one of the most famous stories in the Old Testament: David and Goliath. It's an incredible story of faith that can teach us a lot about following Christ. The fact that David saved the Israelites was a big deal, but how he defeated Goliath is likewise significant. Let's talk about a couple of those “hows.” Goliath taunts the Israelites for 40 days. David comes forward and offers to battle Goliath. Saul agrees, and he even puts his own armor on David. It doesn't go well… 1 Samuel 17:39 And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. David tried on the armor and “assayed” to go. In other words, David had a hard time moving. David hasn't “proved” the armor, or in other words, David has never trained with it. He doesn't know how to fight like a soldier, only like a shepherd. So David takes his shepherd weapons, forgoes the armor, and goes on to defeat Goliath. Let's talk about how David defeated Goliath and what it teaches us. Detail 1. He went up with nothing but faith in God; the armor specifically hindered him. A couple posts ago, we talked about how Israel came to Samuel and wanted a king. One of the direct messages we pulled from that story was the fact that the Israelites were rejecting God by wanting a king. They had a King; they wanted a different king. In 1 Samuel 8, the Israelites specifically requested a king because they wanted someone to go out before them in battle. Like other nations, they wanted a physical defender in front of them when they were at war. This is significant. So now we've found ourselves in 1 Samuel 17, and the Israelites are facing the giant Philistines. Goliath goes out and taunts the Israelites for 40 days. And where is Saul? Definitely not out in front of the Israelites. Samuel gave the Israelites their king, King Saul, and then what do you know…Saul doesn't go out before them. No one saw that coming. Shocking, right? When we originally read this story, it would be easy to think David was being an arrogant punk by refusing the armor. Earlier on in the chapter, Eliab (David's oldest brother) gets annoyed with David and accuses him of pride. But this isn't about pride (even if David possessed some of that). This is about the fact that once again, the Lord was saying, “Hey Israel! I will go before you, not some mortal king!” David didn't just outright refuse the armor. He put it on, and it weighed him down. David was better off without man's attempts to fight off Israel's enemies. The principle is NOT this: Don't use anything manmade or you're faithless. Refuse medicine. Refuse gear. The Lord will protect you if you have enough faith. That is not the principle here. Sometimes having faith is understanding that the Lord inspired man to build tools. However, for THIS specific example, it is important that David went without armor that weighed him down. The fact that David went without armor in this specific scenario can teach us the true principle: relying on man over God hurts us. It doesn't help us. This is not every scenario. This is a very specific scenario in which the Lord was very clearly telling the Israelites that He was their King and Defender. The Lord didn't want any confusion about why David won against Goliath. This detail is poignant with the backdrop of the Israelites rejecting God and choosing Saul. They didn't want God's protection; they wanted man's. David and his lack of armor was God's response. Using tools is not wrong, but relying on tools over God is wrong. The armor in this story represents the same thing King Saul represented: insufficient protection from man. King Saul did not help the Israelites. The refused armor would have prevented David from defeating Goliath. Detail 2. David showed up after Goliath had taunted the Israelites for 40 days. So maybe the fact that David showed up after 40 days doesn't necessarily seem like one of the “hows” of David defeating Goliath, but in my unqualified opinion, it is. Gospel according to Autumn teaches this: If David had come sooner, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Goliath because the Israelites wouldn't have let him battle Goliath at all. The number “40” is significant. It is used to describe a period of testing and trial. Christ fasted for forty days. It rained and flooded the earth for forty days. The Israelites wandered the wilderness for forty years. Did Goliath truly taunt them for 40 days exactly or was this the Lord's way of describing a full cycle of testing for the Israelites? Does the 40 really mean 40 or does it teach us that the Israelites had finally reached a point of desperation and were willing to utilize a young boy to fight Goliath? Regardless of whether it was exactly 40 days of taunting, the lesson for us is clear: the Lord allows us to go through a period of testing until we finally reach the point where we are willing to rely on Him alone. Have you ever reached that point in a trial where you're like, “Hey Lord, if you could show up right now, I would really appreciate it! I'm dying down here!” And then He waits even longer before showing up? Perhaps it's not forty days for forty months or forty years. Maybe it's just the right amount of time for your testing period. Maybe it's the right amount of days for us to finally reach a point where we are ready to rely on Christ alone and then recognize His hand when we come out on the other side. That second part is just as important. If the Lord doesn't allow us to wait for the full period, we might attribute our success to something else like our own fortitude. Allowing us to wait until we feel really lost serves the unique purpose of forcing us to realize that He was the only thing that could have saved us. Would the Israelites have let David try his hand against Goliath if they hadn't waited their full “forty” days? Honestly, I have no idea. What I do know is this: They got desperate enough to let him try and when he succeeded, all heaven broke loose and they cheered and ran against the Philistines at the same time. Their faith had been bolstered, and for a small moment, they recognized who was standing at their side. I testify of a Lord who teaches us about Him in incredible detail in these stories. I testify that we start to see patterns as we study these details in the scriptures. More and more and more layers come out and teach us and refine us and help us invite Christ into our lives more fully. I'm so grateful the Lord has taken me on this journey to teach me these lessons in the scriptures. I testify that Come Follow Me can change your life if you use it, and I testify that Come Follow Me can change your life because it can teach you about Christ.

The New York Knicks are NBA Champions!In this video, I react to and break down the 2026 NBA Finals as the Knicks defeat the San Antonio Spurs 4-1 in a gentleman's sweep to capture their first championship in decades.We'll discuss:

There is a thing you want. You know what it is. You have known what it is for a long time. And somewhere, somehow, you have made peace with not having it. Quietly. Without ceremony.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Grab your Hosea Scripture Journal right now. Our text today is Hosea 6:3: Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth." — Hosea 6:3 Every word here sounds right. It even sounds passionate. But in the context of this chapter, something is off with this declaration in verse 3. Something is just not right. Israel says they want to know God, but they haven't truly returned (i.e., repented) to God. They speak about pursuit, but there's no evidence of surrender. They talk about knowing God, but they're still holding onto the very things that keep them from God. Again, in Hosea, we learn you can talk about knowing God and still not actually be pursuing him. "Knowing God" is not about information. It's relationship. It's not just learning about him. It's walking with him. It's obedience, intimacy, trust, and submission all woven together. To "press on to know the Lord" means you don't settle and won't settle. You pursue him daily. You move toward him even when it costs you something. But Israel wasn't doing that. They said it but they were not about to live it. They wanted a Savior without surrendering to him as Lord. Then they called for a "shower" of blessing. Something refreshing. A great provision. But we know they skipped the pursuit. In the same way, many believers today do the same. They listen to teaching. They read Scripture. They show up at church. But if there is no daily pursuit—no intentional movement toward God—then they are not pursuing or returning to God. They are using him. Using God is occasional obedience. Knowing God is consistent obedience. You cannot use God. He won't allow it. Eventually, he will cut you off. And you can call for a "shower of blessing" all you want. You can continue your shell game. But God isn't going to play the game with you. Be honest with yourself. Are you just pursuing God for blessings, or are you pursuing God to know God? Press into God today in some new way. Battle with sin. Pray a little longer. Refuse an earthly desire. Speak more kindly. Let God consume your desires, motivations, thoughts, and will, and then receive the shower of blessings that is God himself. DO THIS: Set aside intentional time today to pursue God—without distraction, without rushing, and without asking for anything. Just seek Him. ASK THIS: Do I pursue God daily or only occasionally? Am I growing in knowing Him—or just learning about Him? What would it look like to truly "press on" in my relationship with God? PRAY THIS: God, I don't want to just know about you—I want to know you. Teach me to pursue you daily with consistency and sincerity. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Fill The Room"

In This Episode: In this deeply personal installment of the Achieve Results NOW! Podcast hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt lift the curtain on a cornerstone principle of high performance: how true achievers cultivate unshakeable drive. Inspired by a classic "Weekly Wisdom" lesson from the dojo that hasn't been shared in fifteen years, this episode tackles a raw truth that many leaders face but rarely admit—even seasoned black belts don't wake up feeling driven every day. Success isn't a passive state of drifting; it is an active system of intent, discipline, and intentional conditioning. Drawing from their lifelong partnership in business and martial arts, Mark and Theron lay out a powerful, practical framework to help you stop waiting for motivation, audit your habits, and build an unshakeable roadmap for constant improvement. Key Frameworks & Action Steps Action Step 1: Define What Excellence Looks Like for You When momentum stalls, it is rarely a lack of baseline capability—it is a lack of a clear, challenging target. Achievers never allow themselves to drift into progress by accident; they design it. Excellence Over Perfection: Reject perfectionism completely, as it is an unattainable metric that breeds procrastination. Instead, define what a standard of excellence looks like for your specific baseline today. Set Goals That Demand Growth: True drive is generated by the thrill of the chase. Set specific targets that are intentionally scary enough to stretch your mental and physical boundaries. Establish External Leverage: Do not keep your targets trapped in your head. Write them down clearly and make concrete, public promises to people you respect. Forcing social pressure onto your goals converts a passive "should" into an unshakeable, daily "must." Uncover the "Why": Identify what your achievement actually represents. Look past surface-level awards or titles and anchor your motivation to the core character development you are striving to build. Action Step 2: Intentionally Train the Three Pillars Drive is a muscle that must be methodically conditioned through structured daily action. The hosts break down three mission-critical pillars to anchor your performance: Sharpen Your Skills (The Top Three Rule): Be fiercely deliberate about your professional and personal development. Identify the top three specific skills you need to improve to advance. Avoid a list of ten items, which triggers overwhelm, or a single item, which invites delay. Three is the magic high-performance number. Commit to refining those top three choices through repetition and targeted effort every single day. Strengthen Your Will (The Mindset Muscle): Discipline is a muscle trained on your absolute worst days. It is effortless to execute your habits when you wake up feeling highly motivated, but true high performers exercise their will on the days they are sore, tired, or uninspired. Stand guard at the door of your mind and violently shield your will from external negativity or limiting beliefs. Elevate Your Conditioning (The Energy Foundation): Biological performance dictates mental agility. When your body is fatigued and your physical conditioning drops, your emotional and mental focus immediately fracture—causing you to snap at your team or make reactive choices. The State Check: Train your mental response mechanism to treat disruptions as data rather than crises. Theron shares a raw example of his son's car breaking down at 8:00 PM on a Sunday thruway, requiring a midnight tow. By maintaining high mental conditioning, they reframed the frustration into a blessing—ensuring the vehicle was fully repaired and safe before a major summer move to North Carolina. Action Step 3: Refuse to Accept Your Current Level as Your Final Level Fulfillment belongs exclusively to those who choose to live in a state of continuous, never-ending growth. Stagnation is the silent killer of both businesses and relationships. Reject Mediocrity as a Destination: Refuse to tolerate complacency in any area of your life. Turn a critical eye to your health, your workplace, and your family daily. Continually ask yourself: "What is one single thing I can make slightly more fluent or improve today?" Act on that answer immediately. Embrace the Grind with Tenacity and Gratitude: Reframe the daily process from an obligation into a journey. Borrowing a timeless truth from actor Henry Winkler (The Fonz), anchor your timeline with a dual focus on Tenacity to keep pushing through bumpy, difficult steps, paired with deep Gratitude to actively celebrate incremental process milestones along the way. "Achievers don't drift toward success. It takes work, it takes systems, and it requires you to actively refuse to let your current baseline be your final destination. Pick one step and execute now."

RUNDOWN Mitch and Danny bounce from the changing economics of podcasting to baseball's disappearing workhorse pitchers before revisiting area codes and birthday trivia. Along the way, they debate Hall of Fame cases for Wade Boggs, Mike Holmgren, Vince Carter, and Tim Lincecum—while wondering whether "The Freak" could become Cooperstown's greatest omission. Broadcasting from the middle of Knicks mania, Danny gives Mitch a firsthand look at what a title run means in New York. The pair explore why America briefly embraced the Knicks, compare New York fandom to European soccer culture, and debate whether Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs let a championship slip away. The Mariners return home from a disappointing road trip with injuries mounting and the AL West tightening. Mitch, Brady, and Joe sort through Seattle's recent slide, debate lineup and roster decisions involving Cal Raleigh, J.P. Crawford, and Cole Young, and examine bullpen concerns, Matt Brash's durability, and the future of the six-man rotation. Fresh off a 16-day European adventure, Mitch and Puck reflect on the joys and exhaustion of traveling with adult children, from Berlin and Tuscany to Rome and London's Churchill War Rooms. The conversation eventually returns to Seattle, where Andrés Muñoz's struggles and the search for bullpen help dominate the discussion.   GUESTS   Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Jason Puckett | KJ-Aren't / Puck Drop   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | Mitch and Danny mix baseball nostalgia, Pacific Northwest trivia, and Hall of Fame debates while exploring how sports—and the media covering them—have fundamentally changed. 18:52 | Mitch and Danny unpack the Knicks' long-awaited title, New York's outsized sports ego, and why the rest of America briefly found itself rooting for the Big Apple. 34:39 | Mariners No-Table: The Mariners limp home from a frustrating 4–6 road trip battered by injuries and bullpen concerns, as Mitch, Brady, and Joe debate roster decisions. 1:00:02 | Jason Puckett: Mitch and Puck bounce from European travel adventures and family vacation realities to the Mariners' bullpen concerns. 1:18:46 | DAR (Dang Apostrophe Rulings): DAR (Dang Apostrophe Rulings) Is it time to stop worrying about Luis Castillo's feelings and move him to the bullpen? How big a deal is Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby's gambling case, and what does it mean for the NCAA's ability to enforce rules? What makes Pat McAfee worth a reported $60+ million per year to ESPN? Does Kenneth Walker skipping the Seahawks' Super Bowl ring ceremony matter to his legacy in Seattle? If you could choose one, would you take Jacob Misiorowski or Paul Skenes given their talent, contracts, and years of team control? How do you compare Phil Mickelson's fall from grace to Tiger Woods' damaged reputation? Should Mitch Levy be embarrassed that he has absolutely no idea who Mariska Hargitay is?

Episode #15: We Refuse to Let Our Previous Wars Win: Sarah Moore on Shedding the Uniform's Identity, Healing the Nervous System, and Becoming Whole Again What happens when the body decides it's done, even when your mind is still convinced it can push through? For Sarah Moore, a 21-year Army veteran and Black Hawk pilot, the answer came in the middle of a routine dunker training exercise when her nervous system snapped in front of her peers. No amount of mental toughness could stop the shaking. It was the beginning of a journey she never expected, and one that would ultimately change everything about how she understood herself, her service, and her healing. In this episode, Sarah and Jon unpack what it really means to carry the weight of a military career, the deployments, the abusive relationships, the no-boundaries culture of high performance, and what it takes to finally set that weight down. Sarah brings a rare combination of lived experience and neuroscience training to the conversation, breaking down why trauma isn't a mindset problem, why the nervous system breaks the same way a bone does under too much stress, and why healing isn't a destination. It's a lifestyle change. Sarah is also the founder of Blueside Adventures, a program built for veterans and first responders that combines community, adventure, and structured inner work to help people find out who they are outside of the uniform. In this episode, you'll hear: How 9/11 sent Sarah from Rutgers University to Army enlistment and eventually to the cockpit of a Black Hawk The dunker training panic attack that cracked everything open Why mental toughness has a breaking point and what the neuroscience actually tells us The real cost of losing identity, community, and boundaries after service Why healing requires a full lifestyle change, not a single program or pill How Sarah built Blueside Adventures and why veterans are refusing to let their previous wars win Connect with Sarah Moore & Blueside Adventures:

Victory in Jesus is not only about beginning the race. It is about finishing the race with faithfulness, obedience, and love for Christ. Rich Guerra shares the powerful story of his grandfather, whose encounter with Jesus in a revival tent changed the direction of his family for generations. One decision to surrender to Christ became a legacy of faith that reached his children, grandchildren, and beyond. In the same way, the decisions we make today can impact the generations that come after us. Preaching from Galatians 5:7–8 and 1 Corinthians 9:24, Rich asks a direct question: will you run to win? He reminds us that many people start well, but not everyone finishes well. The Christian life requires endurance, responsibility, perseverance, renewed love, connection to the body of Christ, and simple daily obedience. “Many start well, but they don't finish well,” Rich said. He also declared, “There are no winners and losers in God's kingdom. There's just finishers and quitters.” This message gives practical biblical lessons for anyone who wants to finish strong. Refuse to blame others for your struggles. Don't quit when life gets hard. Restore the love of your calling. Don't try to do it alone. Remain in Christ, stay connected, and keep obeying God one day at a time. The application is clear: the baton is in your hands. Others have run before you, and generations may be affected by how you run now. Keep your eyes on Jesus, refuse to give up, and run the race to finish well.

Brady is back on a rare Monday as he gets ready to leave Washington D.C. The Mariners lost the series to the Nationals and went 4-6 on this 10-game road trip. The injuries are piling up, so what's the latest on Andres Munoz, Josh Naylor, Cal Raleigh, JP Crawford and Randy Arozarena? Also, what went wrong for Emerson Hancock?

There are 3 pieces of God's armor we are to “put on”. 1. The belt of truth. 2. The breastplate of righteousness. 3. The shoes of peace. In getting dressed for the unseen spiritual battle, the final thing we put on are our shoes. And think about it, you're not ready to leave if you don't have your shoes on. My husband knows I'm not really walking out the door if my shoes aren't on. My shoes are the sign I'm really ready and we're going … until then, I'm not really going anywhere. God has places for you to go. A stand you are to take. Purposes you are to fulfill. Good plans you are to walk in. But, without your shoes, you're not really ready to go with him. The soldier's shoes were a valuable piece of their armor. Remember in these days, they were foot soldiers. They weren't riding around in tanks and helicopters. They were marching in, climbing up, standing ground. In military battles of these days, the army who had the best battle shoes was set apart. There's a story of an army who won countless victories because they put nails in their shoes, creating the first cleats. They could climb what no other army could climb. As women, we know shoes make or break the outfit – but in battle, shoes can make or break the victory. So Paul says in Ephesians 6:15, “For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.” Without your shoes, you're not ready. With the wrong shoes, you're not winning. Barefoot, you're injured. The shoes in the Armor of God are specifically the PEACE that comes from the Good News. Sounds a little fruity doesn't it? That's sweet – but does it really mean anything to you? I'll be honest – that just never meant anything to me at all – until today. Until I really studied what Paul is saying. Now I get it, and I'm so excited to share it with you. Peace – what's your image of God's peace? Someone once asked 2 very famous painters to each paint a picture of God's peace. One painted the image of a beautiful, calm, serene lake in the most peaceful setting you could imagine. It's basically where I am right now – North Italy's Dolomite mountains. The lakes here are the deepest, calmest blue, fully protected by stunning mountains that reach straight up in the sky. Such calm. Such peace. That was one artist's painting. But the other artist paints the ocean. Not calm water, but the ocean in a violent storm. Massive waves crashing in the fierce winds. Lightening flashing in the sky. And in the very bottom corner of the painting was a small bird, totally protected from the storm, standing on a rock with a solitary beam of light shining on it. If there was a soundtrack to the painting it was the bird singing his completely unbothered song of perfect peace in the midst of that raging storm. Both are pictures of peace. One is a picture of peaceful circumstances – the other is a picture of the power of God's peace. God doesn't promise peaceful circumstances, in fact Jesus warns us of the oppoisite – “in this world you will have trouble”. But God does promise us the power of his peace – the unshakable knowing he is with you, he sees you, and he is in control. We're so quick to assume only the good days contain God's peace, but you've never experienced God's peace on the most extreme level until you're in the middle of something that demands you absolutely freak out, but instead you have an unspeakable peace within. With this peace you're not rendered incapable, you're strengthened in the battle. My friend, if you find yourself currently in a battle, God has peace available for you. And his word isn't just offering it to you as an option, his word is telling you, “PUT THIS ON!” But how? How do you put on God's peace? Thank God, his word actually tells us. We're not left to guess and wonder. It's clear. Philippians 4: 6-7. First, there is an offer you have to REFUSE to make room for God's offer of peace. If you don't refuse it, there will simply be no space for peace in you. What is the offer you have to refuse? Worry. Here's precisely what God's word says, “Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. THEN you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.” This is a formula and a process. First you refuse worry. Worry is always in the offering. There's always something to worry about, right? But you must turn away from it. Turn it off. Resist it. Evict it. Absolutely take a stand against worry. You know what we often do instead? We make excuses for it. “Oh, it's just who I am. I'm a worrier. I always have been.” That's the equivalent of saying, “Oh, I'm just muddy, it's just who I am. I go out and roll around in the mud so I'm always muddy. I always have been.” ALL WHILE YOU COULD CHOOSE TO TAKE A SHOWER! If you're a worrier, there's something you can do that's the equivalent of a shower for a muddy person – PRAYER. And just as you have to take a shower again and again, you must pray again and again. The only way you refuse worry is to talk to God about it. Push it right over to God and let him have it. Tell him what you need. Thank him for everything he has already done for you. That's your part of the equation. Then, God does his part. His part is filling you with PEACE. Peace that doesn't make sense. Peace like the little white bird sitting in a beam of light during a furious storm on the ocean, just singing his happy song. I don't care how much you worry or how long you've been worrying, peace is available to you. But my sister, you always have to choose it. Now you may think your worrying is harmless, but it's not. Without God's peace, you're facing a battle with no shoes on. Without your shoes you're simply NOT READY!!!!! Now here's where this gets really really really good. This is the part you may not have ever understood before and you're going to have a little light bulb go off. Paul says these shoes of peace come from the Good News. What is the Good News? It's literally the message of Jesus. It's the salvation story of God sending his own son to die for you so that you might be saved. It's the promise of his Holy Spirit dwelling in you offering what you could never manufacture for yourself. It's all this GOOD NEWS, not bad news that applies directly to our lives because of Jesus. Good, good, good news. Shoes of peace from this Good News of Jesus. And here's why this is important in battle – GET READY … Your enemy, the devil, is always going to try and convince you that God is against you, that God doesn't love you, that God is too busy for you, angry at you, distant from you. The devil continually tries to convince you that every little bad thing, and certainly every big bad thing, that happens in your life is proof of God's absence, God's distance, or God's disapproval of you. You've heard it and felt it before. You've questioned why God would allow this to happen to your family and you start feeling like God doesn't care about your family. Like he's too busy for you. Like he doesn't hear your prayers. Like he's always out to take things from you. Like he's just against you. The more you hear it and the more you feel it, the more dark your thoughts become, the more alone you feel, and the more hopeless the future looks. And that's precisely what happens if you don't have your shoes on. Your shoes of peace from the Good News know exactly who Jesus is, what Jesus did, and what he has promised. And just like a pair of cleats can dig in and hold your ground, KNOWING the GOOD News can help you stand firm when every doubt comes to rock you. The devil wants to remind of you all the bad news, but Jesus says, “I've GOT GOOD NEWS!” Feel the peace in that! The shoes of peace tell you even when bad things have happened, “GOD USES ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR GOOD”. The shoes of peace tell you even when the storm rages that, “YOUR GOD CONTROLS THE WINDS AND THE WAVES.” The shoes of peace tell you when everything falls apart that, “GOD HOLDS IT ALL IN HIS HANDS AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH HIM.” The Good News fills us with peace when the battle rages. And in peace, we stand, We don't run. We don't panic. We don't worry. We stand firm. Girl, put your shoes on and dig in! Dig in to God's promises over you and refuse to back down. Refuse to be shaken. Refuse to give in to worry. His promises will fill you with peace so you can stand through the storm and come out the other side. Jesus made us a promise of HIS PEACE. His peace that would hold us steady. His peace that would guide us. His peace that would fill us in ways that don't make sense. But do you know precisely WHEN he promised us this peace? Jesus promised us that peace on the edge of his own horrific storm. On the very night one of his very best friends would betray him – on the night he would be arrested – on the night before he was to bear the sin of the entire world on the cross, on the edge of the greatest storm all creation had ever seen, Jesus promised us his own peace. John 14:27, “I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.” Jesus had immeasurable peace, and he offers us that same peace. But it's always up to us to PUT IT ON. With peace, you are ready for battle. With peace you can stand on God's promises and not worry. With peace as shoes, you can dig in with cleats and stand your ground regardless of circumstances. With peace as shoes, you can climb any mountain and overcome the obstacles in your way. You have to choose what you're walking in – Peace or worry. Worry will never win the battle. Peace already has.
