The deepening influence of social media, technology, and worldly values on children has created unprecedented challenges for parents trying to raise kids with strong spiritual foundations. In this eye-opening conversation, licensed mental health therapist's  Valerie Peterson and Joy Makala share transformative insights on positive parenting through a biblical lens.Joy begins by addressing a fundamental truth many parents overlook—we naturally parent as we were parented, unless we intentionally choose a different path. Rather than relying on societal messages, she points to Scripture as the ultimate parenting manual, emphasizing that parents must position themselves as their children's primary spiritual influencers in a world full of competing voices.Prayer emerges as the cornerstone of effective parenting throughout the discussion. Joy encourages parents to "get on their knees" to seek divine guidance for their children's unique journeys, sharing powerful perspectives on how spiritual intervention provides wisdom beyond human capability. She and host Valerie Peterson explore practical ways families can document prayer requests together, allowing children to witness God's faithfulness firsthand.The conversation offers refreshingly practical strategies for creating meaningful family connections in our digital age. From establishing "low-tech, no-tech" times to creating dedicated family nights and meal times, listeners gain actionable steps for fostering genuine relationships. Joy's insight that "boundaries communicate love" provides a compassionate framework for setting limits that protect children's long-term wellbeing.Perhaps most counter-cultural is Joy's emphasis on prioritizing the marriage relationship over parent-child relationships. "The greatest gift parents can give children is a strong marriage," she explains, challenging the child-centered approach prevalent in today's society. This foundation of family stability requires intentional effort but yields profound benefits.The episode concludes with a heartfelt encouragement to find community support through mentorship, small groups, and church involvement. No parent should attempt this challenging journey alone—the corporate anointing of spiritual community provides refreshment and strength for every season of parenting.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Benny Di Chiara, frontman of the Christian rock band Empowered, brings raw authenticity and spiritual fire to this powerful conversation about redemption, healing, and perseverance through life's most challenging battles.The journey begins with Benny's harrowing account of surviving a traumatic brain injury in 2016 that left him with a double skull fracture, frontal lobe damage, and internal bleeding. Through months of grueling recovery where he slept 20 hours daily and lost 35 pounds, Benny experienced a supernatural encounter—God speaking audibly in his living room, promising "huge and great plans" and gifting him lyrics for what would become their song based on Jeremiah 29:11.Despite permanent loss of smell and taste, Benny embodies what he calls "taking the win"—recognizing God's partial victories instead of focusing on unanswered prayers. This perspective has carried him through creating three albums post-injury and fuels Empowered's upcoming release "SALT" (Safety, Anointed, Legitimate, Timing), scheduled to drop mid-June.What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Benny's transparent admission that his family currently faces intense spiritual warfare. Rather than sugar-coating his Christian journey, he reveals the emotional and physical exhaustion these battles bring while maintaining his spiritual fervor. "Spiritually, I am on fire, and do not contest me," he declares, challenging believers to move beyond Sunday-only faith into daily communion with Jesus.For musicians and creatives, Benny offers unflinching wisdom: "If you are a Christian artist, be ALL of that." He rejects the divided loyalty of trying to serve both mainstream acceptance and gospel truth, instead embracing Empowered's calling to explicitly point people to Jesus through their music and personal ministry after shows.Whether you're facing health challenges, spiritual attacks, or simply searching for authentic faith, Benny's testimony reminds us that God's restoration is available—not just in eternity, but in the here and now when we "press in" to Jesus and surrender to His perfect timing and purpose.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Luke 24:13-43 The post The Road to Redemption appeared first on Victory Fellowship Church.

The cross wasn't a defeat—it was the fulfillment.The empty tomb wasn't a surprise—it was the promise kept.Today, we reflect on the greatest turning point in history: the moment Jesus declared “It is finished” and the morning the stone was rolled away. Through the agony of the cross and the glory of the resurrection, God completed the work of redemption and opened the door of salvation to all who believe.Come celebrate the victory that changed everything.The cross paid the price.The tomb proved the promise.Now, hope lives forever.Text: John 19:28-30; John 20:1-18

What happens when decades of addiction disappear in a moment without withdrawal symptoms?  Dr. Rachael Cannon's extraordinary testimony reveals the transformative power of encountering divine love after 25 years of severe drug addiction.Growing up as the granddaughter of a Baptist preacher and daughter of a minister, Rachael understood religious principles but found herself trapped in a cycle of addiction that led to eight felony arrests. At her lowest point—weighing just 100 pounds, battling suicidal thoughts, and facing another potential prison sentence—she reluctantly attended church where another woman's testimony sparked a flicker of hope. Three days later, when told she "didn't have to suffer anymore because Jesus already suffered for her," every chain broke instantly. Nine years later, she remains completely free without a single relapse.The heart of Rachael isn't about will power or rule-following but about identity transformation through love. "Once I realized God loved me, all of a sudden I could make my bed. All of a sudden I wanted to obey the rules. My desires changed when I fell in love with the Lord." This revelation led her to prison ministry just four months into her recovery, where she helps incarcerated women see themselves beyond their circumstances. Rather than focusing on wrong behavior, she reminds them "what God's done right."Connect with Dr. Rachel Cannon on Facebook or explore her five devotional books on Amazon, including "The Woman at the Well." Her story proves that no matter how hopeless your situation appears, transformation is possible when you discover who you truly are in the eyes of love.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

It is vital for believers to understand the sufficiency of Christ's finished work on the cross. If we don't, we will struggle all our lives trying to be good enough, trying to do enough, and forever falling short. Once we begin to grasp the nature of the victory Jesus won, though, we can serve Him confidently, joyfully, and effectively! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Billy Milan's journey from the streets of New York to the security team at Destiny Worship Center is a testament to God's relentless pursuit of those who seem furthest from His reach.Growing up as the child of divorce in NYC, Billy found himself joining the NYPD at just 20 years old. Though married to Maria, a woman of deep faith, Billy admits he spent the first decade of their marriage living a double life – saying the right prayers to please his reverend father-in-law while drowning in excessive drinking and creating what he calls "a beautiful house on the outside, broken on the inside."The turning point came in 2003 when, after years of his wife's faithful prayers, God radically transformed Billy's heart. "He left the 99 for me," Billy shares, describing how his life changed so dramatically that even his fellow officers took notice. By his retirement in 2013, one colleague who had never believed in God admitted, "What I've seen God do in your life, I now know there's a God."What Billy calls their "30-day miracle" – a vacation to Destin that turned into purchasing a home – eventually led to permanent relocation and finding their spiritual family at Destiny Worship Center. Now overseeing security for the church and its school, Billy speaks candidly about maintaining faith amid tragedy, particularly reflecting on the recent death of Deputy Will May.Most powerfully, Billy testifies to breaking generational curses: "There was divorce in my family... that was a generational curse. And guess what? No more." His story reminds us that no marriage is beyond restoration when surrendered to God. As Billy says, "You've got to work at it... you need to be selfless."Ready to experience your own redemption story? Begin by reading God's Word daily, joining a Christ-centered church community, and connecting with a small group who can walk alongside you through life's valleys and mountaintops.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

The Beginning of the Road to Redemption Ruth 1:6-18

Join us this week as we discuss the significance of Old Testament prophecy and the coming of Christ as the suffering servant and conquering king.

Why did Jesus have to die such a brutal death? In this powerful message, Pastor Daniel Stevens walks us through the Crucifixion — a pivotal moment in The Road to Redemption. From prophecy to purpose, we explore how Jesus' death was not a tragic accident, but part of God's divine design, reconciling His justice and His unshakable love.This sermon cuts through confusion and cultural noise, revealing the truth behind the Cross: sin demanded a price — and God Himself paid it. With scripture-rich insight, Pastor Daniel highlights the tension between holy justice and perfect love, urging us to step off the wide road and onto the narrow path that leads to life. Discover how the blood of Christ protects, redeems, and sets us free.

Have you ever witnessed God move and felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude and awe? Throughout history, God's people have paused to celebrate the ways He has worked in their lives. In Luke 19, the followers of Jesus praised God loudly for all the miracles they had seen. As a community, we are invited to keep that spirit of praise alive by sharing and celebrating together. Where have you seen God at work recently?MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49419396RESOURCES: https://www.canyonridge.orgBLOG: https://canyonridge.org/blogs/

Kyle Hart never expected to be pulled from the parking lot into a podcast recording, but as he explains in this powerful episode, following the Holy Spirit's prompting often leads to unexpected divine appointments.With disarming honesty, Kyle shares the foundational moment of his faith journey—when, as a five-year-old plagued by fears of death, his grandfather's simple yet profound response changed everything: "I'm not afraid to die. I know where I'm going and I've lived a good life." This early introduction to resurrection power remained with him through subsequent decades, though its full significance wouldn't crystallize until years later.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Kyle unpacks his understanding of the Holy Spirit—that "gut feeling" many believers have experienced but might not recognize. "I've been trying to block that for the last 15 years," he admits, reflecting on how his professional training had conditioned him to ignore spiritual promptings. His explanation of our tripartite nature—spirit, soul, and body—provides listeners with practical insights into how God communicates with us and how we can respond.Perhaps most compelling is Kyle's vulnerable reflection on spiritual maturity. Through recent conversations with mentors, he's come to understand that true spirituality isn't measured by knowledge or even ministry involvement, but by inner peace, compassionate awareness, and purposeful growth. His realization that "if you're not walking in peace, then you're not yoked to the Prince of Peace" serves as a powerful barometer for authentic faith.For anyone feeling lost or hopeless, Kyle's advice cuts straight to the heart: "Run to Jesus. Wherever you think you've seen him, might have seen him, believe he might be." Take that first step—pick up the Bible, find a Christ-centered church, join a small group. The Prince of Peace is waiting to meet you exactly where you are.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

Jesus' suffering and sacrifice for our sins. Explore the cost of redemption and God's love for humanity.Text:  Isaiah 53:7-12

Mark 14:32-65

The ministry of Jesus culminated in the crucifixion and resurrection. As we have been learning in this series, there were other sacrifices He made before the ultimate sacrifice (What He left), and other gifts He gave before giving His life (What He Gave). Now let's look at what Jesus carried with Him before He carried the cross. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The message of redemption is central to the New Testament—Jesus came to fulfill God's plan of salvation, paying the price for humanity's sins. Pastor Daniel Stevens explores key events, from John the Baptist's call to repentance to Jesus' life, crucifixion, and resurrection. Through Christ, God's Kingdom is revealed, offering freedom, grace, and a path to redemption for all.Jesus didn't come to condemn but to seek and save the lost. His mission was to transform hearts, moving beyond rules to a faith rooted in love and understanding. As we remember His sacrifice through Holy Communion, we embrace the true meaning of redemption—our sins aren't just forgiven, but fully paid for. Let's walk in that freedom and share this powerful truth!#JesusSaves #RedemptionRoad #PowerOfGrace #FaithInAction #NewLifeInChrist #ForgivenAndFree #KingdomCome[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ]STAY CONNECTEDSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn 

Have you ever felt like you've gone too far to turn back? Like your past mistakes have built a wall between you and God that can't be torn down?That's how many people saw Zacchaeus—a corrupt tax collector, a man who had sold out his own people, someone too far gone for redemption. But then Jesus came to town.In a moment of unexpected grace, Jesus looked up into a sycamore tree and said, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” (Luke 19:5, NIV)Zacchaeus wasn't just noticed—he was invited. And that invitation changed everything.So here's the question to start this series: What would you do if Jesus stopped in His tracks, looked your way, and called you by name?As we begin this journey on the Road to Redemption, we're going to see that no one is too lost, too broken, or too far gone for the redeeming love of Christ.Let's walk that road together.At New Promise Church you will see people of all ages, from a variety of backgrounds, and at different stages of their spiritual journey. We desire to draw closer to Jesus by understanding who He is and what He has done for us.

Prophecies about Jesus as the humble King who would bring salvation, peace, and victory.Text:  Zechariah 9:9; John 13:4-5; Phil. 2:5-11

Mark 14:10-26

As we continue to explore Christ's journey to the cross, we see something truly extraordinary if we bother to notice it. Jesus could have come and lived in any number of ways (without sinning), paid our sin debt, and left. Instead, we see a life, a ministry, wherein He served and gave in amazing ways. What a model this is for us, whom God has blessed so generously, and from whom God requires much! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"The Road to Redemption" is a powerful sermon series exploring God's plan for salvation, and this is just the beginning! In Part 1, we focus on John the Baptist, the messenger sent to prepare the way for Jesus. His message was urgent and clear: Repent!—turn your heart back to God—and Be Baptized! as a public sign of transformation. John lived outside the norms of society, yet he was deeply in tune with God's Spirit, calling people to genuine faith rather than empty religion.John's mission wasn't about himself but about pointing people to Jesus. His message still speaks to us today—revival begins with repentance. As we dive into this series, let's examine our own hearts. Are we ready for the Lord? Are we willing to turn from distractions and truly follow Jesus? If so, let's take action—seeking deeper faith, embracing baptism, and preparing the way for what God wants to do in our lives.

Amanda Hunter's journey from the depths of addiction to a life of purpose and peace illuminates the extraordinary power of redemption. Born into a military family without spiritual foundation, Amanda's early experimentation with substances at age 13 set the stage for decades of struggle. The absence of faith left her vulnerable to toxic relationships, depression, and ultimately a devastating spiral into prescription drug abuse that evolved into heroin and methamphetamine addiction.The turning point came dramatically—a high-speed police chase through Destin ending in her arrest with 47 criminal charges. It was rock bottom. Face down in the dirt, handcuffed, Amanda believed she had nothing left to lose. But within the confines of Okaloosa County Jail, she encountered Jesus. Through studying Ephesians, she discovered her battles weren't merely chemical imbalances as doctors had claimed, but spiritual warfare that required spiritual solutions.What makes Amanda's testimony particularly powerful is her raw honesty about recovery. After 16 months in jail, Stephanie McMinn from the Yellow House offered her an alternative to prison—a faith-based recovery program that required her to face her emotions without medication. "It wasn't graceful," Amanda admits. The healing journey meant confronting perfectionism, control issues, and learning to receive love after years of abuse had taught her to expect harm from relationships. Most challenging was forgiving herself.Today, Amanda manages All Things New, a nonprofit gift shop where she mentors women walking similar paths. Her message transcends mere sobriety—it's about an "upside-down kingdom" where what the world labels failure becomes part of a beautiful testimony. For anyone feeling hopeless, her words resonate with quiet authority: "He delights in you, even in your mess. He's never taken His eye off of you." Amanda's life stands as living proof that relationship with Jesus changes everything, not by avoiding pain, but by finding purpose within it.Take your first step today. Read God's Word. Find a Christ-centered community. Your road to redemption awaits.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com

For centuries, the Passover pointed forward to something greater—the ultimate sacrifice that would redeem us all. In "The Passover Lamb," we'll journey from Exodus 12 to the Last Supper and discover how Jesus became the fulfillment of the Passover, offering His body and blood for our salvation.Texts: Exodus 12:1-30, Luke 22:7-20, 1 Corinthians 5:7

As we draw closer to resurrection Sunday, let's take a fresh look at what was involved in our salvation. We know Jesus died on the Cross; was there anything else to His sacrifice? Jesus said some strong things about loving this world, leaving all, taking up our cross, etc. Let's look today at what Jesus left when He came to redeem us. Hosted on Acast.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Mark Sowersby, author of the book Forgiving the Nightmare. In 2019 Pastor Mark went through a time of great healing.  He began speaking about the nightmare of abuse and years of suffering he experienced in his childhood.  And how condemnation, shame, and guilt were replaced with forgiveness, joy, and life in abundance.     He now speaks about his story and his testimony of healing, forgiveness and freedom through his ministry, Forgiving The Nightmare.     In my book review, I stated Forgiving the Nightmare is more than an abuse memoir or Christian instruction - it's a story of grace, overcoming, and forgiveness. Mark doesn't sugarcoat the truth, whether that truth is about his childhood abuse or about his difficulty moving beyond that abuse. In fact, he is so honest that he will be the first to admit that forgiveness will be a lifelong journey.   What I loved most about this book is the hope. Each page leads the reader down a path to something better. No matter what trauma you've suffered - and haven't we all had some trauma in our life - there is light on the other side. For Mark, this comes by way Jesus Christ.

We visit with Rob - Rare of Breed and his friend Velma Sasnett. This powerful episode brings together two remarkable stories that demonstrate how dark pasts can become beacons of hope.Rob takes us through his journey from foster care at age eight to addiction at fourteen, leading to expulsion, military school, and jail time. Believing he would become "just another statistic," Rob's life changed completely when he encountered Jesus at twenty-one. Now a husband of twelve years and father of three, Rob travels the country with his unique "God Twang" sound—a blend of country rap and Christian themes that resonates across generations and backgrounds.Alongside Rob's story, we meet Velma, whose rebellion against a supportive family led to addiction at eighteen, homelessness, and eventually incarceration. After experiencing a profound spiritual awakening following a diabetic coma ten years ago, Velma now operates a thrift store ministry in the very town where she was once jailed. Her work focuses on housing women and children, supporting foster care, and helping people access rehabilitation services—particularly those on probation seeking a second chance.The beauty of these parallel journeys shows how redemption works: both Rob and Velma now use their difficult pasts to reach people still struggling in darkness. As Velma powerfully states, "If you've got a heartbeat, you've got a purpose, and every bit of it has been paid for on the cross." Learn how Rob's upcoming tour (with dates available at rarebreed.com) is bringing this message of hope to communities nationwide, including a special stop in Mariana, Florida where Velma serves—proving that anyone, regardless of their past, can find their road to redemption.For more information contact us atrtrdestiny@gmail.com
