Lesson #12 for Saturday, June 20, 2026 Growing in a Relationship With God Adult Sabbath School Lesson 2nd Quarter, 2026

Being ignorant of the truth does not dismiss us from the consequences of truth. No one likes to hear the truth that confronts us, but ignorance of the truth is dangerous. Truth is what saves us.Have you been blessed by our podcast?

Many Catholics can describe their relationship with Jesus and God the Father—but feel vague when it comes to the Holy Spirit. In this episode, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks address that gap head-on: the Holy Spirit is not an “it,” but a Person, and learning to relate to Him changes how you pray, discern, and grow. Through the lens of relationships—with self, with others, and under God—they show how the Holy Spirit quietly does what we cannot: transforms us day by day into Christlikeness and draws us deeper into the Father's love.Father offers language and images that make the mystery workable: you don't “see” the Holy Spirit the way you see a person—you see His effects (like wind). The Holy Spirit's joy is to glorify Jesus, and when we become more like Jesus, we are cooperating with the Spirit's work. They also use a practical “triangle” picture: the Holy Spirit is often the “third point” that completes the connection—not by replacing Jesus or the Father, but by uniting us to them through lived relationship, guidance, and interior transformation.Key IdeasThe Holy Spirit is a Person, not a concept—and He wants real relationship, not vague acknowledgment.We often don't see the Spirit directly; we see the effects (like wind): conviction, guidance, growth, attention drawn back to Christ.The Holy Spirit's delight is to glorify Jesus; becoming more like Jesus is cooperating with the Spirit.Relationship is hard to “diagram,” but it's real—especially in God: Father, Son, and Spirit as communion.Healthy spiritual life includes both speaking and listening: not only talking at God, but making room for promptings and guidance.Scripture Mentioned (no links)John 3:8 (the wind blows where it wills)The Creed language about the Holy Spirit (Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed themes)Links & References (official/source only)None explicitly referenced with clear official/source URLs in this transcript.CTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Artificial intelligence has become such a part of our lives and our society. Everything has become connected thanks to the internet, and AI is amplifying it all. Recently, Elder Gerrit W. Gong of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles spoke about the dangers of using AI in place of God. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints just released an entire series from Elder Gong that really dives into how AI affects all of our relationships. Greg and Holly discuss their favorite parts of the lesson.

If you've ever felt far away from God, this week's show is for you. Our guest, Deborah Packer, shares what she's learned from Jesus' teachings, and her own experiences, about how close we actually always are with God. And how understanding this oneness better can bring us healing and help us heal others, too.

Big Idea: Everyone serves something or somebody. Who will you serve? "Our passion for Jesus is the only passion that will not destroy us." - Larry Crabb

Our Relationship with God Is Based Solely on Our Relationship with God, and He Desires to Have a Relationship with Each of Us MESSAGE SUMMARY: We may have a Godly father and mother, but our relationship with God is not based on their relationship with God; it is solely our relationship with God. God has given us covenants as a way to build our relationships. The people of Israel found out quickly that when they desired to live their lives apart from God that they brought disaster upon their lives. God is a covenant God. He will bless us if we obey Him; but if we disobey him, it leaves us to the consequences of our sin.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM A CHILD OF GOD. Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His Name, He gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

Lesson #11 for Saturday, June 13, 2026 Growing in a Relationship With God Adult Sabbath School Lesson 2nd Quarter, 2026

In this episode, Paul Burns and I begin a month-long conversation on deepening discipleship. Paul shares his understanding of discipleship as a growing relationship with God rather than merely acquiring religious knowledge or behavior modification. We discuss: Why discipleship is fundamentally relational The difference between knowing about God and knowing God Attachment theory and spiritual formation Moving beyond performance-based spirituality How security in God changes personal growth The role of trust in spiritual maturity Why transformation happens through relationship The connection between discipleship and emotional health Paul introduces the foundational concepts behind his GPS framework — God, Personal, and Social — and explains why a secure attachment to God changes everything else in life. #Discipleship #SpiritualFormation #PaulBurns #ChristianCoaching #Faith #Transformation #AttachmentTheory #Podcast

This past week, as I said at the beginning of Mass, has been quite a week for me. It was extraordinary.  I had the opportunity to sit in the Synod Hall  as the Holy Father gave his new encyclical, Magnificat Humanitas, to the world. I am still unpacking the magnitude  of the event in my life,  but there are some things that really stood out for me.

Jesus Gave His Followers the Earth's Most Intimate Relationship – a Personal Relationship with God, the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: The idea of an intimate relationship is to truly know someone; and you are given the privilege of knowing God, the Creator of the Universe. You are given the privilege of being close to Him and to have a personal and dynamic relationship with the God of the universe. Your relationship with God is made possible through Jesus the Christ and God's gracious gift of the Holy Spirit.  Paul, in Romans 8:37-39, succinctly defines God's uncompromising love for you through His personal relationship with you: “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.". Jesus puts the Holy Spirit in your life so that you can commune and have personal fellowship with God -- the most intimate relationship on earth.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, help me to be still and to wait patiently for you in silence. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 125). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Anger. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Forgiveness. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Lesson #10 for Saturday, June 6, 2026 Growing in a Relationship With God Adult Sabbath School Lesson 2nd Quarter, 2026

Have you ever wondered about the power of God and how to tap into it in your daily life? Carrie Pickett reveals that the supernatural power of God is accessible to all believers, not just the spiritually elite, emphasizing that faith opens the door to miracles.

We have a covenant relationship with God. It's not simply based on our faith which is weak and can fail, but a covenant which cannot fail or be broken. When you come to Christ, you enter into a covenant relationship with God, signed and sealed by the Blood of Christ. God separates you from the guilt AND the power of sin. You are delivered from Satan and all his works – not when you get to Heaven, but down here, in your crisis, in your distress, in all the trouble the devil puts upon you. Whoever you are, whatever you are, you are delivered by the Power of the Blood. It's an unbreakable covenant to defeat the power of the devil in your life. Yes, we make mistakes, we fail, we fall. But He cannot fail us. The Bible reminds us that God came to deliver the sinner, not the righteous. None of us can enter the Kingdom of God through our own righteousness, so we cannot ‘earn' the answers to prayer through our ‘holiness'. God did not heal my cancer because of my ‘holiness', but because He is God! This is what Moses was saying to the people, don't look at the troubles, at the difficulties, at your sickness, your poverty. Look at God and you'll find Him, if you do it with all your heart.

Lesson #9 for Saturday, May 30, 2026 Growing in a Relationship With God Adult Sabbath School Lesson 2nd Quarter, 2026

What's actually standing between most people and a genuine relationship with God? Pastor Peter Philippi, author of You and God: How to Establish a Personal Relationship with God and a Clear Understanding of His Word, joins Brian From in studio to work through the objections, the confusion, and the keys that open up all of Scripture once you understand what God is actually doing. Peter breaks down why salvation has nothing to do with religion or works, what it means that we were once God's enemies and are now reconciled to him, and why every believer carries the identity of ambassador — whether they know it or not. He also makes a compelling case for the reliability of God's Word: of the 1,000 prophecies in the Bible, 500 have already been fulfilled exactly as written, which makes the remaining 500 a pretty safe bet. A practical, grounded conversation for seekers, new believers, and anyone who has picked up their Bible, put it back down, and wondered if they're missing something.

It reveals the continuing witness to how a story can affect us when we hear something that seems to “break through the reality of tragedy” and we find that “hope” is what we cannot escape.   We hope for something that pierces darkness, destruction, despair and death.   God's Greatness God has conquered and continues to conquer all four forces that have come against His light, creative nature, hope, and life itself.  His light pierces darkness. His creative nature steps into destruction. His unyielding presence defeats despair. His resurrection power conquers death.   The Deceiver cannot conquer God's goodness, love, power and presence in our lives.    Jesus calls us to him as the Shepherd and we the sheep who cannot live without the Good Shepherd: I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy' I hve come that they may have life, and it to the full.

Jesus Gave His Followers the Holy Spirit to Walk with Them in Their Personal Relationship with God MESSAGE SUMMARY: Isaiah tells us about Jesus Followers' communications with the Holy Spirit in Isaiah 30:21: "And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it,' when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left.". We know, from the New Testament, that Jesus Followers are given the Holy Spirit to walk with them -- "a voice behind you". Since the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you, the way the Lord speaks to you is through the inward witness of the Holy Spirit -- the Spirit will speak, and you will know that it is the Lord. In John 14:26, Jesus reminds us about His promise, to His followers, of the “Helper” (Holy Spirit): “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.”. Additionally, in John 16-7, Jesus tells us that not only will the Holy Spirit be your “Helper”, the Holy Spirit will be your “Comforter”: “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Fear. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Faithfulness. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

Since Your Judgment Is Coming, Are You Doing All You Can to Continue Growing Your Relationship with God? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Jesus tells you about the certainty of your Judgment in John 5:25,29: “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live . . . and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.". Since Judgment is coming, are you doing all you can to keep your relationship with the Lord growing? Given certain Judgment for all, a primary purpose of the Church is to lead people into a growing relationship with the Lord. You must be constantly growing and nurturing your faith in Jesus. There is a day when we will all be judged by the Lord – do not you think you can wait until the last minute to have a real relationship with Jesus.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, when I read even part of the story of Job, I too am overwhelmed by your “wildness.” Your ways and timing are beyond me. Job moved from hearing about you to having “seen you.” Lead me, Lord, on a pathway so that I too can pray as Job prayed: “My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you” (Job 42:5). In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 89). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Heartlessness. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Kindness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Do you ever sit down to spend time with God… and your mind just won't slow down? You try to pray—but you're thinking about your to-do list. You open your Bible—but you feel distracted, rushed, or unfocused. You want to go deeper with God… but it feels harder than it should. If that's you, you are not alone. In today's episode, we're continuing the Go Slow series—but we're focusing on something even deeper: What does it actually look like to slow down with God? Because in a world that constantly pushes us to move faster, do more, and stay productive… slowness can start to feel wrong. Even in our relationship with Him. We rush through prayer. We treat quiet time like a checklist. We seek answers more than we seek His presence. And without even realizing it, we can begin to prioritize doing for God… over actually being with Him. In this episode, we unpack how this shows up in real life—and why it matters more than we think. Because the truth is: You don't just need more discipline in your faith… You need a different pace. One that allows you to slow down… be present… and actually experience God, not just learn about Him. love, Brittany    Ready to become a peaceful wife and Mama?

What if the very thing pushing you away from God isn't actually Him—but something (or someone) He warned you about? Before you walk away completely, you might want to rethink what's really going on behind the scenes. Matthew 7:15-16John 8:31-32#ChurchHurt#FaithOverFeelings#RealTalkFaith#DontQuitGod#SpiritualGrowth
