    Stop letting the chaos around you steal your peace and discover why the brokenness you see everywhere is actually pointing toward hope. If you're overwhelmed by wars, division, homelessness, and violence - wondering if God is real and why He allows such suffering - this message will transform how you see current events and personal struggles. Pastor Daniel reveals how the Garden of Eden's perfection was lost, why we experience pain now, and most importantly, how God's rescue plan was in motion before humanity even fell. Whether you're questioning faith because of world events, struggling with personal suffering, or simply exhausted by the negativity around you - find out why the fixer has already come and how that changes everything.

    To favor people because of appearances is so common that it feels normal. But James tells us that partiality is incompatible with faith in Jesus. God gives us the capacity to see people as he sees them, and to love them as he loves them.

    This Sunday, I'll be preaching from the second half of 1 Peter chapter 2, a passage that radically reshapes how Christians are called to live in the world, and especially in the face of unjust treatment. Peter writes to believers who were being slandered and mistreated simply for following Jesus, and rather than encouraging them to retaliate or withdraw, he calls them to live honorably so that their good conduct might lead others to glorify God. The challenge in this text is to live righteously, not just when life is fair, but especially when it's not, because when we respond to hostility with Christlike character, we bear silent but powerful witness to the gospel.We'll explore how our faith transforms two major areas of everyday life: our relationship with government and our relationship with employers. In each case, Peter urges us to respond with humility and respect, not because the person in authority is always right, but because honoring the structure of authority reflects our trust in God. This is especially powerful when authority is abused or when the system is unjust. Peter isn't excusing mistreatment, but he is saying that when we endure it with patience and faith, like Jesus did, we participate in something deeply Christlike. Jesus didn't retaliate when reviled; He entrusted Himself to the One who judges justly, and we are called to follow in His steps.This message is essential in today's cultural climate, where outrage and vengeance are normalized. But Scripture calls us to something higher. Whether you're frustrated with the decisions of politicians, facing injustice at work, or struggling in silence, your response has eternal significance. You might not be able to change your circumstances, but you can choose to honor Christ through them. And when you do, you reflect Jesus to a watching world, and you never suffer unseen. Your endurance matters to God, and sometimes, it becomes the very means by which someone finds Him.

    We explore the Righteous Bully archetype in the Inner Villain system, mapped to Enneagram 8 and the Ajna (third-eye) center. This villain believes their opinion is gospel, weaponises “truth,” and enforces righteousness at any cost. We track the full arc: Successful Antagonist (the Fixer), Wounded Child (the Pathogen), Covert Form (the Sacrificial), Hero (the Surrendered), and Legend (the Channeler). Along the way, we unpack how this shows up in daily life, why Thanos is the cinematic mascot, and how to tell the difference between sacrificing your voice and surrendering to something larger than yourself. Two “Am I the Asshole” scenarios help ground the dynamics in real relationships.Timestamps00:00 — Banter and setup, villain 8 overview01:00 — Core question: “Have you ever hurt someone by ‘just being honest'?”01:15 — Centers and types: Ajna center, Enneagram 8 “Challenger/Enforcer”02:00 — The everyday Righteous Bully: opinions as law, triangulation, blanket statements02:30 — Straw story: moral superiority, environmental righteousness as enforcement04:45 — Why Thanos fits the archetype: opinion as solution, the Snap as “righteous fix,” unintended consequences07:00 — Successful Antagonist: the Fixer, “I told you so” as identity07:50 — Wounded Child: the Pathogen, blamed for everything, fights to avoid being the problem again08:45 — Covert Form: the Sacrificial, peacekeeping by self-erasure in groups and teams10:50 — Hero: the Surrendered, releasing attachment to being right and aligning with group coherence12:40 — Legend: the Channeler, becoming a vessel for greater wisdom rather than a mouthpiece for self13:30 — Somatic tell: elation and lightness vs heaviness when it's true surrender14:50 — Vehicle note: practicing healthy selfishness, daily give-and-take, not grand gestures15:30 — AITA case 1: wedding budget conflict, opinion used as a weapon19:00 — AITA case 2: Lego Millennium Falcon, destruction as moral enforcement, shared-home boundaries22:30 — Reflections: how both sides can slip into righteousness and how to course-correctThe arc at a glancePinnacle Villain: Righteous Bully — Opinion as law, truth as a weapon, moral superiority.Successful Antagonist: The Fixer — Solves you without consent, resents not being followed.Wounded Child: The Pathogen — Blamed for everything, over-responsible, braced for attack.Covert Form: The Sacrificial — Abandons their view to avoid conflict, self-bullying through silence.Hero: The Surrendered — Releases attachment to being right, aligns with a larger coherence.Legend: The Channeler — Becomes a clear instrument for wisdom, not a megaphone for ego.Key ideas and languageWeaponised honesty: “I'm just being honest” used to control or shame.Ajna fixation: overvaluing thinking and opinion as ultimate truth.Righteousness vs justice: righteousness centers the self's opinion, justice centers reality, repair, and relationship.Surrender vs sacrifice: sacrifice abandons self to avoid conflict; surrender chooses alignment and feels relieving, not heavy.Practices for listenersThree-beat check before you “tell it like it is”What is my intention, really.Do I have consent to offer this.Can I state this as a perspective rather than a fact.Somatic truth testSay the proposed action aloud and notice your body.Surrender tends to feel lighter, more spacious. Sacrifice feels heavy, collapsed, or resentful.Channel, don't bulldozeWrite the guidance you think you are “channeling.”Circle what is verifiable vs interpretive.If it still feels true after separating opinion from observation, offer it with permission and choice.Daily take-and-giveOne small “take” for yourself each day, not a big, infrequent blow-up. Nap, boundary, five-minute walk, saying no.Spotting the Righteous Bully in the wildBig blanket statements delivered as moral verdicts.Triangulation: “Everyone thinks you're not nice.”Conditional “protection”: “I didn't call you out because you do good work.”Destroying or undermining what others love to make a point.Case study insightsWedding budget fight: Opinion leveraged as moral judgment (“greedy,” “rude”) rather than collaborative planning. The counter-move is to invite shared values, constraints, and consented trade-offs.Lego destruction: Moral enforcement by force. The needed boundary is joint in a shared home, with consequence that protects relationship to the child and to each partner's autonomy.Reflection promptsWhere have I called control “honesty.”When have I swallowed my voice and called it surrender.What does elation feel like in my body, and when did I last feel it while choosing alignment.What is one small daily “take” that would keep me out of explosive righteousness.Pull quotes“The Righteous Bully holds their opinion as gospel. The Channeler becomes a vessel for something larger.”“Sacrifice abandons yourself. Surrender aligns yourself.”GlossaryAjna center: The mental/third-eye hub where opinions and interpretations crystallise.Enneagram 8: Challenger/Enforcer, intensity toward truth, control, and protection.Triangulation: Bringing a third party's supposed view to pressure someone into compliance.MentionsThanos in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, as an exemplar of opinion enforced as salvation.Group-work dynamics where covert sacrifice masquerades as peacekeeping.Resources and next stepsTake the Inner Villain quiz to locate your current arc, then revisit this episode with your results for practical application.Try the “Middle Path” meditation to feel the somatic difference between sacrifice and surrender.CreditsHost: Kristina Wiltsee, with AnnaSeries: Inner Villain → Hero → LegendAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

    Embracing the Fear of the Lord: Awe and Obedience

    Edgewater Christian Fellowship

    This morning, we explored the profound and often misunderstood concept of the “fear of the Lord.” While Scripture repeatedly tells us not to fear in the sense of dread or terror, it also calls us to a different kind of fear—a deep reverence and awe for God's majesty, power, and holiness. This isn't a fear that drives us away, but one that draws us near, bowing in humility before the One who holds oceans in His hand, spans the universe, and breathes out stars. At the same time, this God is the approachable Jesus, our comforter and friend, who walked among us and gave Himself for us. Holding both truths together—God's infinite greatness and His intimate nearness—transforms how we live. Understanding the fear of the Lord changes everything. It leads to radical obedience, as seen in Noah's willingness to build the ark without all the details, simply trusting the One who asked. It frees us from the need to control outcomes, reminding us that our job is obedience and God's job is results. This reverence also helps us accept correction, knowing that when God calls us to change, it's the voice of the all-knowing Creator, not just human opinion. It strengthens our faith in God's promises, because the One making those promises is the same One who created the stars and numbers the hairs on our heads. And it deepens our value for prayer, because we're not just speaking into the air—we're talking to the all-powerful, all-loving God who delights to hear and answer.

    Hope for Hard Days ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | September 7, 2025 Esther Series, Part 9: Esther 9, 10 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY In the final episode of the Esther series, Michael Shockley explores how God works through our worst days to bring about His greatest victories. Through the creative story of Hayden and Morty (paralleling Haman and Mordecai), discover how what appears to be a day of destruction becomes a day of deliverance for God's people. As Esther chapters 9-10 unfold, watch the ironic reversal where the enemies of the Jews are defeated, leading to the establishment of the holiday Purim. From the cafeteria catastrophe to the Persian Empire's transformation, learn how God's unseen hand can flip any story - even turning the worst day in history (the Crucifixion) into humanity's brightest hope. This message reminds us that God doesn't cause our worst days, but He absolutely redeems them. Core Message: God works through our worst days. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Hayden and Morty Story Introduction - Creative allegory of middle school cafeteria drama - Hayden's quest for revenge against his spelling bee nemesis Morty - The setup for disaster with gravy, creamed asparagus, and chocolate milk - Parallel to the Haman and Mordecai conflict in the Book of Esther - Cliffhanger moment showing how quickly situations can change The Historical Context of Esther 9-10 - Recap of the escalated grudge that led to genocidal decree - Haman's plot against the Jews and his subsequent downfall - The irreversible nature of Persian law requiring a counter-decree - Nine months between the plot's discovery and the day of execution - The choice given to potential attackers to change sides The Day of Reversal (Esther 9:1-5) - The 13th of Adar: from planned destruction to actual deliverance - "The opposite occurred" - complete reversal of expectations - Fear of Mordecai and the Jews falling upon their enemies - Government officials helping the Jews due to Mordecai's prominence - The Jews defeating their enemies throughout the 127 provinces The Spiritual Parallel to God's Law - The Law of Righteousness exposing all people as condemned - God's refusal to lower His standards of perfection - The Law of Grace through faith in Jesus as the "second decree" - Substitution: Jesus taking our punishment on the Cross - Imputation: Christ's righteousness credited to our account The Battle Results and Aftermath - 500 enemies killed in the capital city of Shushan - 75,000 total defeated throughout the Persian Empire - The death of Haman's ten sons (grown men who supported the decree) - The Jews refusing to take spoils - focused on defense, not wealth - Two days of battle followed by peace and celebration The Establishment of Purim - Mordecai's letters establishing an annual holiday - The 14th and 15th of Adar becoming days of celebration - Feasting, joy, gift-giving to family and the needy - The meaning of "Purim" - referring to the lots (Pur) Haman cast - God directing even the roll of dice to accomplish His purposes The Unseen Hand of God - God's fingerprints everywhere despite His name never being mentioned - From orphan and intended victim to champions of peace - The transformation of superstition into recognition of divine favor - How apparent coincidences reveal providence in hindsight The Conclusion of Hayden and Morty - The backpack tear held together by failing duct tape - The pencil on the floor causing Hayden's spectacular fall - The complete reversal: Hayden covered in food, Morty triumphant - "You got served" - divine justice with a sense of humor - From cafeteria catastrophe to unexpected hero status God's Redemption of Our Worst Days - How God doesn't cause our worst days but redeems them - The parallel between Esther's story and the Cross - Turning the day of Crucifixion into humanity's brightest hope - Personal application for loss, failure, betrayal, and current struggles - The invitation to trust Jesus with all we dread ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "God works through our worst days." "The Unseen Hand of God turned the day of destruction into the day of deliverance." "He is our Substitute when it comes to the punishment, and His Righteousness is Imputed to us. Which is to say, He suffered through the test, and we got the passing grade." "Even the naming of the holiday shows that God directed even the roll of the dice to choose the day." "God's Name is never spoken, but God's fingerprints are everywhere." "God never wastes our pain. He doesn't cause our worst days, but He redeems them." "If God could turn the horrible day of Crucifixion into the brightest hope in history, He can redeem your story, too." "You got served." (Lunch Lady Loretta) "Got milk?" (Morty) ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 9:1-5, Chapters 9-10 complete - Key Theme: Divine reversal and redemption through apparent defeat - Historical Context: The 13th of Adar and the establishment of Purim - Theological Concepts: Substitution and imputation through Christ - Gospel Connection: How God redeems our worst days through the Cross - Literary Note: God's providence shown without direct divine mentions ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Experiencing Your Worst Day Right Now: - Remember that God specializes in flipping stories and reversing outcomes - Trust that what feels like destruction may be setting up deliverance - Know that God's unseen hand is working even when you can't see it - Understand that apparent coincidences often reveal divine providence If You're Dealing with Past Failures and Regrets: - Recognize that God doesn't waste pain but redeems it for purpose - Remember that your worst moments don't define your final story - Trust that the same God who redeemed the Cross can redeem your past - Allow time and perspective to reveal how God was working all along If You Feel Condemned by Your Imperfections: - Understand that God's law reveals our need, not our hopelessness - Know that perfection is required, but Christ provides it for us - Trust in substitution: Jesus took your punishment on the Cross - Believe in imputation: Christ's righteousness is credited to your account If You're Waiting for Justice: - Remember that God's timing often involves longer processes than we expect - Trust that divine justice is more complete than human revenge - Know that God can turn your enemies' attacks into your strengthening - Understand that true victory often looks different than expected If You Haven't Trusted Jesus Yet: - Consider how the Cross transformed history's worst day into its best news - Understand that salvation comes through faith, not perfect performance - Know that God can flip your story no matter how bad it seems - Trust Jesus with all you dread and receive His redemption today ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you're living through what feels like your worst day. Loss, failure, betrayal, diagnosis, job loss, or consequences from past mistakes. Perhaps you feel like Morty, about to be destroyed by forces beyond your control. Or maybe you feel like Hayden, watching your carefully laid plans collapse in spectacular failure. The good news of Esther - and the even greater news of the Gospel - is that God works through our worst days. He doesn't cause them, but He redeems them. The same God who turned a day of destruction into deliverance for the Jews, who turned the horror of Crucifixion into the hope of salvation, can flip your story too. Trust Him with all you dread. Trust Jesus for salvation. Your worst day may be setting up God's greatest work in your life. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- What worst day in your life needs God's redemptive touch?

    Romans 6:18 — What does it mean to be a “slave to righteousness”? Paul explains in Romans 6:18 that Christians are no longer slaves to sin and sin has power no longer. Instead, Christians are now slaves to righteousness. In this sermon on Romans 6:18 titled “Servants of Righteousness,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones details several truths that can be drawn from this one verse. He is clear to point out that he is not saying that there is no sin left in the Christian or that they are free from sinful nature or temptations. There is no choice in this matter of sanctification because it starts the moment that the Christian believes. Once they believe, the soul yearns with jealous envy for righteousness because they are drawn to the realm of God instead of the realm of sin. Dr. Lloyd-Jones also warns that many people can have qualities of a Christian but not hold the same doctrines. He mentions that the Pharisees were people like this, creating their own righteousness instead of submitting to God's righteousness. This practice is ignorant. One does not understand what morality is and needs to lean on the Lord for wisdom. Christians can rejoice that the Lord who began a good work in them will be faithful to complete this work.

    It can be easy to say, “God, I believe You will deliver me from hardship.” However, what we should learn to say is, “Whether I see Your deliverance come the way I want it to or not, I will not stop worshiping You.” In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses depending on God and trusting in His timing. He teaches from the Old Testament book of 2 Kings to demonstrate our need for a deeper understanding of God's character. We can trust that He is sovereign, holy, and righteous, so when we face discouragement, we know that our God gives us the power to overcome. God has given each of us enough faith to begin His work—and He will help us finish.
