Isaiah 43:18-19

Ephesians 4: Putting Off the Old, Putting On the New (Truth, Anger, Words & Forgiveness) + Easter AnnouncementsJeremy shares upcoming Easter plans, including a free citywide egg hunt in Shepherdsville with two hunts (11:00 and 1:00), 40,000 eggs, registration via Facebook/website, and volunteer needs, plus school egg hunts the following week and a March 26 workday to prepare the flood-recovering building. Because Bullet Central won't have electricity, four on-campus Easter services are planned: Thursday at 7:00 PM (with a kids glow-in-the-dark egg hunt afterward) and Sunday at 8:30, 10:00, and 11:15, with requests to attend Thursday or 8:30 if flexible. The sermon continues Ephesians, emphasizing daily “put off/put on” transformation through renewed minds: reject falsehood by speaking truth in love, handle anger without sin or letting it linger, avoid “decaying” speech and use words to build others up, and replace bitterness, rage, and malice with kindness, compassion, and forgiveness modeled after God's forgiveness in Christ.00:00 Easter Announcements00:30 Serving the Egg Hunt01:12 Workday and Easter Services02:53 Stay Connected and Give03:05 Ephesians Series Setup04:56 Put Off and Put On09:39 Renewing the Mind12:17 Truth Over Falsehood17:59 Honesty in Practice19:33 Anger Without Sin22:06 What Anger Reveals23:39 When Anger Mutates24:28 Don't Let It Linger25:16 Footholds and Spillover28:00 Pause and Get Honest29:10 Words That Corrode32:42 Build Up With Speech34:49 Replace Rage With Kindness37:21 The Cost of Forgiveness40:11 Daily Put Off Put On42:47 Prayer and Sending

Hi friend, There's a conversation that's been quietly happening in Christian spaces for a while now. Some believers hear words like meditation, breathwork, or nervous system regulation and immediately think: “That sounds New Age.” But when you actually open the Bible and look closely… you find something interesting. Scripture talks about meditation constantly. Psalm 1 tells us to meditate on God's Word day and night. Joshua 1 says the same thing. Psalm 46 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” And when God created Adam, He breathed life into him. Breath. Stillness. Meditation. Renewing the mind. These aren't modern wellness ideas. They're biblical concepts. What we're seeing through neuroscience today is that practices like slowing our breath, calming the body, and focusing our minds on truth actually help rewire the brain and regulate the nervous system. In other words… the way God designed our bodies already supports the transformation He calls us into. In this week's episode of the Set Free Sisterhood Podcast, I'm unpacking: What the Bible actually says about meditation Why breath is so significant in Scripture How the nervous system impacts healing and emotional regulation And why learning to calm your body is not unspiritual If you've ever felt unsure about these topics, this episode will help bring clarity. And if you're realizing that your mind and body have been stuck in patterns of stress, anxiety, or coping behaviors like alcohol… you don't have to navigate that alone. This is exactly the kind of work I help women walk through in one-on-one coaching. Together we look at: the patterns that keep you stuck the emotional and nervous system responses underneath them and how to renew your mind and realign your life with truth If you're ready for support, you can email me here:  Let's chat!

Transcript:Da: Solen begyndte at stige over de stille marker i det danske landskab.En: The sun began to rise over the quiet fields in the Danish landscape.Da: Det var tidlig forår, og sneen smeltede langsomt væk.En: It was early spring, and the snow was slowly melting away.Da: De første blomster stak deres hoveder frem for at hilse på lyset.En: The first flowers poked their heads out to greet the light.Da: På en lille gård i udkanten af landsbyen vågnede Soren, Mathias og Freja til en ny dag.En: On a small farm on the edge of the village, Soren, Mathias, and Freja awoke to a new day.Da: For dem var dette ikke kun en ny dag, men også en ny start.En: For them, this was not just a new day but also a new beginning.Da: Gården havde været i deres familie i generationer.En: The farm had been in their family for generations.Da: Efter deres forældres pludselige bortgang, skulle de tre søskende nu sammen tage ansvaret for at drive den videre.En: After their parents' sudden passing, the three siblings now had to jointly take on the responsibility of running it.Da: Soren var den ældste, og han følte vægten af ansvaret på sine skuldre.En: Soren was the oldest, and he felt the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders.Da: Han tænkte på deres forældres glæde, når frodige marker voksede, og kvæget græssede roligt.En: He thought of their parents' joy when lush fields grew and the cattle grazed peacefully.Da: "Det skal vi opretholde," tænkte han for sig selv.En: "We must maintain that," he thought to himself.Da: Mathias stod ved vinduet i køkkenet.En: Mathias stood by the window in the kitchen.Da: Han var drømmeren i familien, vores kunstner.En: He was the dreamer in the family, their artist.Da: Efter at have malet en smuk solopgang, sukkede han dybt.En: After painting a beautiful sunrise, he sighed deeply.Da: Han elskede gården, men savnede også sin kunstneriske frihed.En: He loved the farm but also missed his artistic freedom.Da: Han vidste, at han måtte finde en måde at blande sine kreative evner med de praktiske opgaver, der ventede.En: He knew he had to find a way to blend his creative abilities with the practical tasks that awaited.Da: I værelset ved siden af vågnede Freja med et smil.En: In the room next door, Freja woke up with a smile.Da: Hun var optimisten, altid fuld af energi.En: She was the optimist, always full of energy.Da: Ligesom de blomster, der nu begyndte at blomstre, ønskede hun at bringe lys til deres liv.En: Like the flowers that were now beginning to bloom, she wanted to bring light to their lives.Da: Hun var glad for at hjælpe sine brødre, men hun var også usikker på, hvordan hun bedst kunne bidrage.En: She was happy to help her brothers, but she was also unsure of how best she could contribute.Da: Den dag mødtes de tre søskende ved morgenbordet.En: That day, the three siblings met at the breakfast table.Da: De diskuterede, hvordan de kunne få gården til at blomstre igen.En: They discussed how they could make the farm flourish again.Da: "Vi kan sælge en del af jorden," foreslog Soren tøvende, hans stemme næsten knækket af frygt for hvad der ville være det rigtige valg.En: "We can sell part of the land," suggested Soren hesitantly, his voice nearly breaking from the fear of making the right choice.Da: Men Mathias rystede på hovedet og foreslog, at de kunne dyrke nye afgrøder og finde kreative løsninger.En: But Mathias shook his head and suggested that they could grow new crops and find creative solutions.Da: Freja nikkede ivrigt og tilføjede: "Vi kan klare det sammen."En: Freja nodded eagerly and added, "We can manage this together."Da: De gik ud på marken sammen, og med hver sin opgave gik de i gang.En: They went out to the field together, each taking on their own task.Da: Soren begyndte at forstå, at han ikke behøvede at klare alt alene.En: Soren began to understand that he did not have to handle everything alone.Da: Han så Mathias' kreative idéer omdanne dele af jorden til noget smukt og nyttigt.En: He saw Mathias' creative ideas transform parts of the land into something beautiful and useful.Da: Freja arbejdede med livlig energi, og hendes entusiasme smittede af på de andre.En: Freja worked with lively energy, and her enthusiasm was contagious to the others.Da: Dagen gik, og i fællesskab plantede de nye afgrøder, der repræsenterede både håb og fornyelse.En: The day passed, and together they planted new crops, which represented both hope and renewal.Da: Markerne blev et syn af grønne spirer, og gården blev et hjem igen.En: The fields became a sight of green sprouts, and the farm became a home again.Da: Da dagen sluttede, stod de tre søskende arm i arm, fra stuevinduet så de solen gå ned.En: As the day ended, the three siblings stood arm in arm, watching the sun set from the living room window.Da: De havde lært meget.En: They had learned a lot.Da: Soren havde lært at bede om hjælp.En: Soren learned to ask for help.Da: Mathias fandt en balance mellem sit kreative sind og det nødvendige arbejde.En: Mathias found a balance between his creative mind and the necessary work.Da: Freja havde opdaget sin styrke og selvsikkerhed i hendes unikke måde at støtte familien på.En: Freja discovered her strength and confidence in her unique way of supporting the family.Da: Alle sammen indså de, at samarbejde og kærlighed til deres hjem var nøglen til at bevare deres arv.En: Together, they realized that cooperation and love for their home were key to preserving their heritage.Da: Og sådan begyndte deres liv på gården at blomstre igen, ligesom markerne omkring dem.En: And so their life on the farm began to blossom again, just like the fields around them.

### Core Theme: The Renewed Mind Herb Blum’s sermon focused on renewing the mind as a continual, intentional transformation from worldly thinking to thinking aligned with God’s Word and perspective. He emphasized that spiritual growth and effective Christian living depend on consistently renewing the mind through Scripture. ### Key Messages and Teachings 1. Renewing the mind is ongoing, not a one-time event Herb stressed that renewing the mind is a daily process. Drawing from Romans 12:2, he described it as a continual transformation—comparing it to a caterpillar becoming a butterfly—where inner change leads to outward change over time. 2. Scripture is the primary tool for renewal According to the sermon, the mind is renewed only through the Word of God. Without Scripture, people default to worldly thinking, fear, and confusion. With Scripture, believers replace lies with truth and learn to think from God’s perspective. 3. Fear reveals an unrenewed mind Using the story of Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4), Herb explained that the disciples reacted in fear because they were focused on circumstances instead of God’s word (“Let us go to the other side”). Jesus’ question—“Why are you so fearful?”—was framed as a challenge to grow into faith-driven thinking. 4. Authority requires responsibility A major point was that God often wants to work through believers rather than for them. Herb emphasized that believers have authority to speak to problems using God’s Word, rather than repeatedly asking God to fix what He has already empowered them to address. 5. Mindset determines response and outcome The sermon highlighted the contrast between: • Worldly mindset: fear, anxiety, reacting to problems • Renewed mindset: peace, confidence, responding with God’s truth Herb taught that focusing on problems magnifies fear, while focusing on God’s presence reveals solutions. 6. The Holy Spirit reshapes thinking from the inside out The renewed mind is described as Spirit-led, sensitive to God’s guidance, and aligned with righteousness, peace, and joy. As the mind changes, decisions, habits, reactions, and identity change as well. 7. A renewed mind reflects the mind of Christ Citing 1 Corinthians 2:16, Herb reinforced that believers already have the mind of Christ—but must learn to live from it. This results in responding like Jesus, loving like Jesus, and discerning situations spiritually rather than emotionally. ### Closing Emphasis Herb concluded that a renewed mind: • Thinks God’s thoughts daily • Rejects fear, doubt, and carnal reasoning • Produces a changed life marked by peace, joy, and spiritual authority The sermon ended with prayer, asking God to align thoughts with His truth, replace fear with peace, and allow the Holy Spirit to guide daily thinking.

Is your family tree a bit... messy? If you feel like your life is full of sibling rivalry, deception, or "unanswered" prayers, you are in good company. From the tents of Isaac and Rebekah to the wrestling match at Peniel, the story of Jacob proves that God doesn't call perfect people—He transforms people who are willing to hold on until they receive a blessing. Summary: In this massive study of Genesis 24–36, we follow the Covenant through three generations of trials, travels, and transformations. We look past the "Sunday School" versions of these stories to see the grit and grace required to stay on the Covenant Path. Finding Rebekah: We analyze the decisiveness of Rebekah in Genesis 24—a woman who was willing to leave everything she knew for a promise she hadn't seen yet. The Birthright Conflict: We dive into the controversial "deception" of Isaac. Was it a trick, or was Rebekah ensuring God's will was done? We explore the heavy price of prioritizing the temporal over the eternal. Jacob's Ladder: We break down the symbolism of the "stairway to heaven" at Bethel and how Jacob turned a cold stone pillow into a temple-like encounter with the Divine. Leah and Rachel: We discuss the years of labor and the "comparative" heartbreak of Leah and Rachel, seeing how God remembers those who feel unloved. Wrestling with God: We finish with the most pivotal moment in Jacob's life—his night-long wrestle. We learn that "Israel" means "Let God Prevail" and discover how we can also prevail through our trials. Call-to-Action: Jacob had to return to "Bethel" to find his way again. Where is your "Bethel"? Where do you go when you need to remember your covenants? Let's discuss in the comments!

(This podcast was previously published on April 18, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...    When we are watching television, often we will hear someone say something that we know to be opposite to the Word of God as stated by God in the Holy Bible.   It is very important for us to renew our mind to the Bible.   Recently I heard a very famous man say, "All die.  No one escapes death."   Because of the Bible, I know that statement is not true.   Immediately after I heard this man say this, I took my Bible and made a screen print of the page of scripture where Paul says, "We shall not all sleep (die),"   I Corinthians 15:51-52   Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep (die), but we shall all be changed,   52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.   When Jesus returns, first the dead in Christ will be raised, then those who are still alive will be changed from this earthly physical body, and be raised from off this present earth and taken into the air to meet Jesus and those who are raised from the dead.   I Thessalonians 4:13-17 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep (dead), that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.   14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.   15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent (precede) them which are asleep.   16 For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:   17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.   18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.   *****   Romans 12:1-2   I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.   2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.   We who believe in God, must be diligent to cling to truth of the Bible.   Therefore when we hear someone on TV speak that which is contrary to Bible, it is important for us to renew our mind to the truth from the Bible.  For that which is false could go down into our heart and at some point deceive us.   Some will think this unnecessary.   But I know it is critical to do the scriptures and not just hear the scriptures.   And I know it is important to collect scriptures which are brought before us in situations such as this and put those scriptures into some form of collected file and meditate upon those scriptures as we live daily on this present earth, keeping ourselves by the Word of God.   Joshua 1:8  God says:   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.   I use my Kindle tablet photo section and make screen prints of such scriptures which I usually read daily.   The man who said the lie of the world was Ernest Hemingway.   A three part series of his life appeared on PBS and I recorded it.  I watched some of Episode 1, but felt it best to stop watching when he divorced his first wife and married a second wife, and later a third wife, all of which is adultery according to the Bible.   Matthew 5:32  Jesus said:  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.   I only watched part of Episode 1, but as they praised Hemingway, I found myself saying, "But Hemingway committed suicide."   Several times I said this.   I deleted Episode 2, but I watched some of Episode 3, wanting to hear their report of Hemingway suicide.  Toward the end of his life, he became crazy, thinking men in restaurants were government agents who were out to get him.  At the Mayo clinic they were giving him electric shock treatments but he continued in his imagined fears.  He was a very heavy drinker, a drunk.   I just kept thinking of how you can have all that fame and glory of men, and destroy yourself and lose everything.   Matthew 16:26 Jesus says: For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?   It is important for us to guard our own hearts with all diligence, uprooting the saying of this world and wisdom of this world, and clinging to the truth of the Word of God in the Bible.   Also I was reminded of the following:   God says:  I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.  (Joshua 1:5 & Hebrews 13:5)   And God gives us a "sound mind", when we follow HIM.   II Timothy 1:7   For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.   ***   Other scriptures in this recording:   Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.   ***   II Peter 3:10-14   10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.   11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,   12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?   13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.   14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless.   ***   Philippians 4:6-7   Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.   7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.   ***   James 1:21-22 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.   22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.   25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.   James 2:24  by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.   26  For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. ***   Luke 21   Jesus says:   33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but MY words shall not pass away.   34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (over indulgence), and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.   35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.   36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.   ***   Matthew 18  Jesus says:   3  And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.   4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.   ***   Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.   ***   Revelation 12   9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.   10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.   11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.   12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.   ***   Joshua 1:8   This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.   ***   James 3:15-17  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.   17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.  

American chestnut trees once towered over the landscape, dominating forests in parts of the eastern United States. But in the late 1800s, a fungal blight virtually wiped them out across the country. Chestnut restoration scientist Jared Westbrook tells Host Ira Flatow how new genetic work could speed up efforts to breed fungal resistance into hybrid chestnuts and create a heartier chestnut population.  Then, author Hanna Lewis introduces Ira to the concept of miniforests, self-sustaining native forest ecosystems on a tiny footprint, like an empty lot or a schoolyard. The planting method, developed by botanist Akira Miyawaki, can help “rewild” small parcels of land by jump-starting forest development. Read our full story, The Miniforest Movement Gains Ground In The U.S. Guests: Dr. Jared Westbrook is Director of Science for the American Chestnut Foundation in Asheville, North Carolina. Hanna Lewis is the author of the book Mini-Forest Revolution: Using the Miyawaki Method to Rapidly Rewild the World.

It’s natural to wonder what God’s will is for your life—especially when you’re facing uncertainty, hardship, or a season that feels confusing. We often ask, “What is my purpose?” or “Why am I here?” But one truth remains steady: God’s will is always connected to His glory and our transformation. Romans 12:2 reminds us that we discover God’s will not by following the world’s patterns, but by renewing our minds through Him. That means God’s will isn’t always something we “figure out” like a puzzle—it’s something we grow into as we surrender our hearts, our plans, and our desires to Him. This prayer points us back to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Even Jesus, overwhelmed by what lay ahead, prayed for another way—yet He ultimately surrendered with the words that changed history: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” That same posture is what God invites us into. Sometimes God’s will includes paths we didn’t expect: waiting, sacrifice, singleness, illness, loss, or deep stretching. But God never wastes suffering. Even what looks like delay or disappointment can become a platform for His glory and a testimony that strengthens others. Today’s reminder is simple but powerful: God’s will is good—even when it’s hard to understand. And the safest place you can be is in the center of His plans, trusting that He sees the full story from beginning to end. Main Takeaways God’s will is always good, even when it’s difficult or unclear. Renewing your mind through Christ helps you recognize God’s direction. Jesus modeled surrender when He prayed, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” God may use hard seasons to glorify Himself and strengthen others through you. Living in God’s will means putting Christ at the center of every decision. Today’s Bible Verse And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. – Romans 12:2 Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Make me more like Christ so that I would long to remain in Your will.” Listen to the full prayer here.

After the death of a child, the darkness can feel suffocating. In this deeply personal episode, Laura shares from her own journey of losing her daughter, Becca. The panic attacks, the desperate prayers and the overwhelming thoughts told her that she would never survive this kind of pain.  When everything inside us says life will never be worth living again, how do we begin to move forward? Rooted in Romans 12:2, this conversation gently explores how transformation begins in the mind, even when the heart feels completely shattered. With both biblical truth and insights from neuroscience, this episode addresses how repeated thoughts can shape beliefs and identity, and how intentional, faith-filled shifts in thinking can begin creating space for light. Renewing your mind after child loss is not about denying grief or minimizing love; it is about challenging the lies that keep grieving parents trapped in despair and learning that it is our love, not the pain, that keeps us connected to our child. With deeply heart-felt compassion and clarity, Laura offers encouragement that, with God's help, it is possible to move forward without leaving our child behind.

If you're an insurance agent or adjuster with questions about licensing in Texas, you're in the right place. Whether you're applying for your first license or preparing for renewal, this guide answers the most common questions about Texas insurance licensing. How long does it take TDI to review my insurance license application? The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) typically reviews license applications within one business day. If your application is complete, accurate, and free of qualification issues, you could receive your license as soon as the next business day. After submitting your application, watch for any follow-up questions from TDI and respond promptly to avoid delay. How often do Texas insurance agents need to renew their license? Your Texas insurance license expires every two years on the last day of your birth month. For first time applicants, the initial license term may be shorter so that future renewals match your birth month. What do agents need to do to keep their Texas insurance license active? To maintain your insurance license, you must renew it every other year before it expires at the end of your birth month. The renewal process calls for completing all required continuing education (CE) hours, submitting your renewal application, and paying the renewal fee. There's a $25 fee if it's late. How many CE credits do I need to renew my Texas insurance license? Most Texas insurance licenses require 24 hours of CE every two years, including three hours of ethics courses. At least half of all CE hours must be in a classroom or classroom equivalent setting. CE requirements vary by license, so check the requirements for your specific license type.

The gospel transforms us by renewing our minds to live for Christ and not for the world. Pastor Mark preaches on Romans 12:1-2, unfolding how the gospel doctrine taught in Romans 1-11 transforms how we live our lives, poured out in worship to God. Preached on Feb. 11, 2026.

Don’t Fall for It Why Christians Keep Getting Played Christians are supposed to be people of truth. Instead, too many are people of reaction. In this episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon is joined by Pastor Michael Clary to expose a growing problem inside the Church: emotional manipulation masquerading as compassion. All it takes is a viral headline, a crying mother, or a carefully framed news story, and discernment goes out the window. Feelings replace facts. Sentiment replaces Scripture. And gullibility gets baptized as “love.” But biblical love is not blind. It is not naive. And it is not manipulated. Drawing from Romans 12 and Philippians 1, this conversation cuts straight to the heart of weaponized empathy, propaganda, weak pulpits, cowardly leadership, and the cultural chaos that results when Christians stop testing the spirits. If you care about leading your family well, thinking clearly in a propaganda age, and refusing to be played by emotional narratives, this one is for you. Chapter Breakdown 00:00 – If You Want to Control Christians, Just Tell a Sad Story01:10 – Romans 12: Renewing the Mind in an Age of Manipulation02:40 – Michael Clary’s Background: From Crew to Church Planting11:00 – The “Normie Whisperer” and Introducing Hard Truths14:00 – Winsomeness, Courage, and Paying the Price for Clarity19:00 – Church Conflict, Elder Division, and Blessed Subtraction23:30 – Why Christians Keep Falling for Emotional Narratives26:40 – Weaponized Empathy and News Cycle Manipulation29:00 – Love Without Discernment Is Not Love32:30 – Head, Heart, and Hands: Building Whole Men35:00 – Propaganda, Framing, and the Battle for the Dictionary41:30 – Fear of Man or Fear of Woman?45:30 – Feminine Empathy, Misplaced Compassion, and Cultural Chaos47:30 – Training Men in Discernment in a Propaganda Age Key Takeaways Emotions are not evidence of truth.• Love without knowledge and discernment becomes dangerous.• Propaganda rarely lies outright. It frames truth to control your reaction.• Weak pulpits create weak men.• Pastors must not fear emotional backlash more than they fear God.• Men must discipline their feelings instead of being ruled by them. Biblical love is strong. It is clear-eyed. It refuses to enable evil in the name of kindness.

Catalyst Church NWA Pastor Nate Sweeney (Lead Pastor)

https://rumble.com/embed/v732x08/?pub=84ufd In this episode, Fr. Charles Murr reflects on the enduring wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas and the profound consequences of the Church drifting away from his clear, reasoned theology. Drawing on history, philosophy, and pastoral experience, Fr. Murr explains how Aquinas provided a framework that harmonized faith and reason, safeguarded doctrine, and brought clarity to Catholic teaching. The conversation examines how, over time, this Thomistic foundation was set aside as modernism gained influence within the Church—leading to confusion, doctrinal ambiguity, and a loss of intellectual coherence. Fr. Murr discusses why Aquinas remains essential today, not as a relic of the past, but as a guide for recovering clarity, confidence, and fidelity in Catholic thought. This episode invites listeners to reconsider the importance of Thomism and why returning to the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas is critical for addressing the challenges facing the Church today.

Joe Heinrich comes from a multi-generation Iowa farming family. As executive director of the non-profit Farm-to-Power, he's helping farmers to navigate the new world of renewable energy. Solar and wind developers are looking for land, which farmers have; farmers are looking for extra income steams, which energy can provide. But what happens to land with utility-scale energy installations? Some farmers are making sure that the panels are high enough off the ground that cattle can graze under them—and take advantage of the shade they provide. Others are grazing sheep under the panels, providing landscaping services and keeping the land healthy. Still others are growing crops. All of these are examples of agrovoltaics, or what Heinrich calls "double cropping"—harvesting food and energy at the same time.  

When life feels heavy, it doesn’t just affect our schedules—it affects our thoughts. This devotional begins with a picture of community: a small group faithfully studying Scripture together in the middle of real-life chaos—toddlers, teens, and nonstop responsibilities. But even in that meaningful rhythm, they began to notice something: resistance. Delays, disruptions, sickness, financial strain, and unexpected emergencies kept piling up, and it felt as if something was actively working against their time in the Word. That experience leads to an important reminder: spiritual battles often show up first in the mind. When pressure increases, discouragement can settle in, and the patterns of the world can begin to shape what we believe, fear, or chase. That’s why Romans 12:2 is so central here—renewal isn’t just about trying harder; it’s about being transformed from the inside out. When our minds are renewed, we begin to see more clearly, discern God’s will, and resist the pull of destructive patterns. The devotional also points out that when believers feel divided, distracted, or weighed down, returning to the basics matters. We don’t fight heaviness with more noise—we fight it with truth, community, and grace. That can look like meeting regularly with other believers, standing firm together in God’s Word, and speaking Scripture aloud so truth gets deeper than emotion. It also means giving ourselves grace when we fail—remembering that confession and repentance are gifts, not punishments. Renewing your mind is a daily practice. It’s choosing, again and again, to let God’s promises reshape your thoughts instead of letting the world define them. And as God transforms your thinking, He strengthens your faith, grows unity with other believers, and steadies you for whatever comes next. Main Takeaways Spiritual heaviness often affects our thought life first, which is why renewing the mind is essential. God transforms us from the inside out as we resist the world’s patterns and cling to His truth. Community matters—meeting regularly with other believers strengthens faith and unity. Speaking Scripture aloud can help anchor truth in your heart and interrupt destructive thought patterns. Grace is part of renewal; when we fail, we can confess, repent, and start again with God’s help.
