RELATE: Building Relationships God's Way What's your life built on—control or intimacy? Leverage or love? In this message, we explore the stark contrast between the Father of Light and the father of lies, and how that contrast impacts every relationship we have. Jesus modeled a life fully surrendered to His Father's will, showing us what true intimacy with God looks like. Satan, on the other hand, seeks only to deceive, accuse, and destroy. When we live in control, manipulation, or accusation, we reflect the enemy's nature. But when we live in truth, forgiveness, and love—we reflect the Father's heart. Through the story of Job, Paul's words in Ephesians, and Jesus' teaching, we'll uncover how to: ✅ Recognize the schemes of the enemy ✅ Live as children of the Light ✅ Build marriages and friendships on intimacy, not leverage ✅ Step into freedom, truth, and lasting hope This sermon will challenge you to examine your relationships and choose the way of light over darkness, intimacy over control.

Podcast Notes   Episode 480 Practicing a Relentless Empathy, w/ Dr. Brian Piccolo Host: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Dr. Brian Piccolo Date: August 28th, 2025 In this episode, Brian interviews Dr. Brian Piccolo, author of Relentless Empathy. They discuss the transformative power of empathy in relationships, ministry, and everyday life. Dr. Piccolo shares personal stories from his marriage, ministry, and family that illustrate how empathy—understood as connecting, understanding, relating, and empowering—can heal, restore, and deepen human connection. Key Highlights Kobe Bryant's influence: A quote from Bryant about regretting not having more empathy inspired Piccolo to research the concept in depth, discovering empathy's relatively new place in language and culture. The C.U.R.E. model of empathy: Connect, Understand, Relate, Empower—Piccolo's framework for applying empathy in practical, everyday settings. Biblical grounding: Scripture passages such as Hebrews 10:24, Philippians 2:4, and Romans 12:15 reinforce the call to empathy as central to discipleship and relational wholeness. Personal stories of transformation: Piccolo recounts connecting with his suicidal father through empathy, and how listening, mirroring emotions, and meeting needs can restore purpose and hope. Takeaways Empathy is an action: It goes beyond feelings of pity or sympathy to actively connect, listen, and respond to others' needs. Questions equal love: Asking thoughtful questions communicates care and often does more good than offering advice or solutions. Empathy restores relationships: Whether in marriage, ministry, or family, practicing empathy opens doors to healing and deeper connection. Biblical call to empathy: Loving our neighbor as ourselves requires taking genuine interest in others' lives, needs, and emotions.

Pornography isn't just present in our culture—it's pervasive. The average age of first exposure is 11 for boys, and around 12–13 for girls. About 67% of men and 41% of women view porn at least occasionally. Even in the church, over half of practicing Christians admit to using it, and 67% of pastors have struggled with it—18% currently. The biggest issue? 82% of Christians say no one is helping them. This isn't just a "worldly" issue—it's a tsunami hitting the church. But porn thrives in silence. So, we need to talk about it honestly, embracing the "messy middle"—holding two truths in tension:Porn is an addictive sin that devastates families.Porn is a shortcut that numbs our God-given desires for pleasure and intimacy.1. Porn is an addictive sin.Scripture clearly calls out sexual immorality (porneia) as sin (Colossians 3:5). Porn objectifies people and becomes idolatry—worshiping creation over the Creator. It's not just spiritually harmful; it's mentally and emotionally addictive, rewiring the brain and damaging relationships (1 Cor. 6:18).How it devastates families:Hurts your family tree: Trauma and addiction can leave epigenetic footprints passed to future generations (Exodus 34:7).Creates unrealistic expectations: Porn fosters dissatisfaction with real-life partners and intimacy (Ecclesiastes 9:9).Harms children: Young girls wrestle with distorted self-worth, while boys absorb years of misinformation about sex before marriage.Exploits performers: Many in the industry suffer mental health issues and traumatic backgrounds. Watching porn often means consuming someone else's pain.2. Porn numbs God-given desires.God created us with desires for pleasure and intimacy, but porn offers counterfeit versions—pleasure without fulfillment, intimacy without connection (Proverbs 27:20). Porn silences but never satisfies. People don't view porn because they're bad, but because they've let it hijack their desires.Freedom is possible. The battle plan: Repent, Replace, and Relate.Repent – Turn from sin and toward God (Acts 3:19).Replace – Remove access to porn and renew your mind (Romans 12:2, Matthew 5:29). Married couples should embrace real intimacy (1 Corinthians 7:2-5).Relate – Build accountability with others (James 5:16) and deepen your walk with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Don't deny your desires—let Jesus redeem them.SummaryPorn traffics in pleasure without purpose and intimacy without love. But Jesus offers real freedom—not just forgiveness, but power to overcome. You don't need a counterfeit when you can have the real thing: true love, intimacy, and freedom.Are you willing to follow Jesus into the messy middle?

Guest: Beverly Coons | Bob Moffitt speaks with Beverly Coons about how she was asked by a local elementary school to tend a garden to engage students. Coons gathered a few of her friends from the church, all of whom are over the age of 70, and got started. Coons says, "I work inside the church, but I work outside the church, too." She adds, "Find a way to be a servant." In partnering with a local elementary school, Coons says, "I'm being a servant, instead of going into the school to proselytize." Coons shares many precious stories of helping children grow in the garden, especially one special needs boy named Tommy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw join the podcast for a deep conversation on spiritual formation, attachment theory, and why so many of us feel stuck in our faith. Drawing from their work in neuroscience, pastoral care, and discipleship, they unpack how our early relational patterns shape the way we experience God and how we can begin to heal. We explore the four “landscapes of the soul” (the pasture, jungle, desert, and war zone), how spiritual practices like silence, Bible study, and joy impact us differently depending on where we're starting from, and how to integrate intimacy and obedience in a holistic journey with God. This episode invites us to move beyond a one-size-fits-all model of discipleship and embrace a more embodied, relational, and compassionate approach to following Jesus.Geoff Holsclaw (PhD) is cohost of the Embodied Faith podcast, which seeks a neuroscience-informed spiritual formation. He is also an affiliate professor of theology at Northern Seminary (Lisle, Illinois) and a pastor at Vineyard North in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Geoff is author of several books, most recently Does God Really Like Me?

“The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” — Proverbs 14:8Today, we're continuing our series on temperaments—how our God-given wiring shapes the way we communicate, relate to others, and make financial decisions. Kathleen Edelman is back with us, joined by Rachel Petty, as we take a closer look at the Green temperament and how it influences our approach to money.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Rachel Petty is a valued member of Kathleen Edelman's team and is our Green Temperament representative for this episode. What Are the Four Temperaments?The concept of temperaments dates back to Hippocrates, whom Galen followed in naming the four temperaments. Each temperament is a wiring we're born with—more like eye color than personality—and it shapes how we communicate, relate, and even handle money. The four types are:Yellow (Sanguine): Extrovert, people-oriented; speaks the language of people and fun.Red (Choleric): Extrovert, task-oriented; speaks the language of power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Introvert, task-oriented; speaks the language of perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): Introvert, people-oriented; speaks the language of calm and harmony.Temperament is your innate wiring. Personality develops through life experiences, but temperament remains relatively consistent.Meet the Green: Introverted and People-OrientedGreens are known as “relationship glue”—calm in chaos, steady in presence, and always people-conscious. They're inward processors, but also deeply relational.They are drawn to budgeting with others and long-term planning. They don't like flashy risks or micromanaging. They prefer round numbers and fewer check-ins.Because Greens crave harmony, they might avoid financial conflict or decisions altogether. But with gentle encouragement and time, they become wise and thoughtful stewards.Strategies That HelpRachel offers practical tools for those who fall under the Green category or know somebody who does:Stay involved. Greens can sometimes disengage easily. It's a discipline to speak up.Name what matters. Clarifying what's most important—whether for a trip or a purchase—helps prioritize.Set deadlines. It gives them the gentle nudge that action is needed.Greens thrive when respected and heard. Their insights are valuable—they just need time and space to process them fully.However, don't pressure a Green. Invite them in gently and clearly. They want to contribute—they just need the right environment.The Innate Needs of a GreenAccording to Kathleen, Greens have four core needs:Harmony – a peaceful environment.Lack of Stress – minimal conflict.Feeling of Worth – appreciation for who they are.Respect – being asked for their input.When these needs are met, Greens are kind, steady, and confident. When ignored, they may retreat or procrastinate.For those in the Green category, take the time to understand what matters to you and lean into your steady nature. And for those in a relationship with a Green—give them time, space, and encouragement. There's more going on than you might see.And remember this: if you are a Green, your calm is a gift. Advocate for yourself—peace sometimes requires courage. Your voice matters.Want More?If you've found this information valuable, make sure you don't miss Kathleen's latest article on temperaments, featured in the newest issue of Faithful Steward magazine.
