Struggling with controlling your thoughts? The battle for the Christian life is the battle for the Christian mind. In this episode, we dive deep into Romans 12:1-2 as host Myrna Young engages in a heartfelt conversation with Pamela Benner, author of "To Touch One Heart, Part One." Pamela shares her deeply personal journey from trauma and loss to healing and redemption. Drawing from her book, she likens her life to a tapestry woven with both beautiful and painful threads, underlining the theme of trusting God's design even when it isn't clear. The discussion centers around how Pamela managed to revisit painful past moments, connect them like dots on a tapestry, and find meaning and healing in what once seemed chaotic.Timestamp Summary0:00 Touching Hearts Through Life's Tapestry of Trauma and Healing1:52 Healing Through Forgiveness and Understanding Life's Tapestry10:10 Healing Through Writing and Overcoming Personal Struggles12:23 Healing Childhood Trauma Through Faith and Personal Growth14:33 Struggles With Religion, Family Expectations, and Childhood Trauma17:40 Healing Through Writing and Rediscovering Faith27:28 Healing Childhood Trauma Through Writing and Sharing StoriesResources *   Pamela Benner's Book: [To Touch One Heart, Part One] https://pamelabenner.com/)*   Purchase on [Amazon] https://www.amazon.com/Touch-One-Heart-Pamela-Benner/dp/B0G4878GC9 Partner with the Podcast Your brand is featured through:• A CEO or expert interview that positions you as a thought leader• Host-read pre-roll and mid-roll ads woven naturally into other episodes• And long-term visibility across our full media ecosystemTo explore a brand partnership, visit myhelps.us/partner.See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094 https://podcast.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/

Do we ever need a fresh anointing of the Holy Spirit? What does "Jacob I loved, Esau I hated" mean in Romans 9? What about the hardening of Pharaoh's heart? And aren't these evidence of God pre-selecting individuals for salvation? How bold or careful should we be in sharing our faith with our children as they grow up?

How do we press on when life gets challenging?In today's episode, host Gaby Alessi Calatayud explores the theme of perseverance by reflecting on 2 Peter 1 and Romans 5. Together, we'll uncover how faith grows stronger through obstacles and suffering, and why adding qualities like goodness, self-control, and perseverance helps us become effective, productive believers. We'll also look at how societal pressures, both in biblical times and today, test our commitment and character. We'll also hear about how Jesus himself modeled perseverance in the face of overwhelming trials.Join us for this uplifting devotional as we unite in prayer, asking God for the strength to persevere and grow in faith, blessing our community and empowering each other to walk boldly into the weekend.Tap HERE to send us a text!

Romans 10:11-13 — In this sermon on “The Riches of His Grace” from Romans 10:11–13 Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones continues unfolding the apostle Paul's argument for the inclusion of Gentiles in salvation. Working from this passage, his second point in the series draws from the glorious fact that the same Lord Jesus Christ, who is Lord over all, is rich in grace to all who call upon Him. Since salvation depends entirely upon God and His power to forgive, there is hope for anyone. It's the great central theme of the Scripture foretold by the prophets, brought about by Jesus in the gospel, and proclaimed by the apostles and the early church. What does this mean for today? It doesn't matter how much one has sinned or how profound their ignorance is, the riches of God's grace are endless and He is sufficient to give to all. There is no work or effort one can add to their salvation because His riches in salvation are all-sufficient. All worldly distinctions and prejudices are foolish because God is rich to all, without distinction, and there is nothing one can ever need that cannot be found in this endlessly rich savior.

Romans 6:23Grace is undeserved. You can't earn it, it's free, and you can never pay God back. All you have to do is admit your need and receive God's grace. That's how a gift works—you simply accept it.

Brian From talks with Kyle Isabelli, lead pastor of Avenue Christian Church, about stepping into senior leadership at a young age—and doing so just as the pandemic upended everything. Kyle shares how preaching through the book of Romans has sparked honest, healthy conversations about unity, judgment, government, and disagreement in a deeply divided cultural moment. The discussion ultimately points toward a countercultural invitation: slowing down, staying rooted in Christ, and learning to be present with others—even when we don’t see eye to eye.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

EPISODE 278 — Romans 7:15–25 (Part 1): The War Within

Jesus Followers' Personal Relationship with Jesus Comes from Humility as Sinners Through Seeking God's Mercy in Prayer MESSAGE SUMMARY:  We do not deserve it; but we able to come to God, in a Personal Relationship with Him, because of His Mercy. We are all sinners. As Paul tells us in Romans 9:18: “So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.". With God's Justice without His Mercy and His resulting Grace, you would face only eternal death as Justice for your sins. We can never enter God's presence for prayer when we are in our pride with our focus on ourselves. Also, Paul reminds us, in 1 Corinthians 1:30-31, that, in your Salvation through God's Grace, Jesus makes us “boast” only in the Grace provided us by God: “And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, as it is written, ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.'”. We can only enter God's presence when we humble ourselves in Jesus. Humility and penitence before God invite His presence – here I am, Lord; just as I am; have mercy on me a sinner.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Insensitivity. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Gentleness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Paul's letter to the Romans contains some of the most meaningful and thought provoking words in Scripture. It is extremely challenging to read it and embrace all its' points in our minds.  Maybe, more than any other book in the Bible, this book calls for our diligent and meditative study.  But this is the challenge of the whole Bible, it is not at all like a school text book that you go through in a year's study and then leave on the shelf for occasional reference.  God's word is designed by him for our lifelong reading and reflection. Paul had been brought up under the Law of Moses with all its rules and regulations.  He had been zealous for the Law, but, as a result of his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, he had, with God's help through the Spirit, applied his mind to the new reality of eternal things – especially – to a personal relationship to his Saviour.The Law of Moses was a Law for Israel as a nation. This Law had been superseded by a situation in which each individual needed to develop a personal relationship with their Saviour the Lord Jesus and with his Father – and through him – is now ‘Our Father.'   Paul writes, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.  For the creation waits with eager longing …” [8 v.18,19]  This sense of eagerness is felt by all those who see the emptiness in so much of what people enjoy today:  But it is all “creation” that waits for the removal of the curse imposed in Eden.  We learn in Genesis how God said to Adam “cursed is the ground because of you” [Gen. 3 v.17]  Paul goes on to say we “groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons (& daughters), the redemption of our bodies” [v.23]   How true is the word eagerly – especially as we grow older and our minds and bodies feel the effects.   Those who find this life satisfying and enjoyable will not genuinely “wait eagerly” for that which is going to replace it. But for many in the world this life offers little that is enjoyable – so they are often in a far more spiritually acceptable frame of mind before God. Finally, let us all read carefully and prayerfully the last 8 verses (31-39) of Romans ch 8.

As the Robertsons begin wrapping up their first full duck season without Phil, they reflect on legacy, hard work, and the faith that shaped their family. Phyllis joins the conversation to look back on Phil's later years, the weight of the words “I never knew,” and the healing that followed Phil's honesty instead of silence.

The Old Testament said "an eye for an eye," but Jesus rewrites the script entirely. In this episode, we discover what it means to move in the opposite spirit and why there's no place for judgment in the New Testament. Graham asks one climactic question that changes everything: Was Jesus judged enough for sin?Key Scriptures:+ Leviticus 24:17-22. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth - Old Testament justice.+ Matthew 5:38-48. You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person...+ Luke 6:27-36. Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.+ Acts 5:1-11. The account of Ananias and Sapphira - spiritual warfare, not human judgment.+ Romans 8:1. There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.+ John 3:17. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.+ Matthew 7:1. Judge not, that you be not judged.Want to explore more?

What fuels real Christian service? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper opens Romans 12:9–21 to show that every step we take for Christ is a step Christ enables.

Recently, my mom gave me a play-by-play of a surprising confrontation she saw on a live webcam feed from a watering hole in Africa. The Gemsbok, a large antelope found in Namibia’s Namib Desert, has horns that can be more than two feet long making it a formidable animal that doesn’t seem to scare easily. That is unless it comes across a group of brave and rowdy ostriches. The lead ostrich, which was taller than its foes, shook its large feathers, roared, and stomped toward three Gemsbok, causing them to flee. “I guess they didn’t realize how powerful their horns are,” I said to my mom. Believers in Jesus can forget the power we have when faced with attacks from our spiritual enemy, Satan. We have the Holy Spirit who lives inside us (Romans 8:11) and the armor of God to help us: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes” (Ephesians 6:11). Satan wants to challenge our belief in God’s Word, question our identity in Christ and tempt us to sin. But we can stand strong because God’s armor includes: “the belt of truth, . . . the breastplate of righteousness, . . . the shield of faith, . . . the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (vv. 14-17). When the enemy attacks us with feelings of fear, condemnation, or despair, let’s remember we are God’s children. He has given us His armor of truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, His Word, and prayer to stand strong when we face spiritual battles.

One of the greatest struggles humans have is with our pressing need to feel like we belong. We were created for fellowship and connection with God and others, so the desire for belonging is a proper human need that has been bent and twisted by sin. In this episode, Cameron and Anna discuss the fact that our basic desire is actually to belong to God, and then with others, and Jesus is the way into our belonging. Belonging to Jesus, we find the true satisfaction and flourishing that we, and our kids, long to experience. How Jesus Satisfies Our Teenagers' Greatest Longings - Rooted MinistrySeries: Creating a Culture of BelongingFear Factor in Parenting: Facing the FOMO John 14 ESVThe Inner Ring by C.S.

This week's message reminded us that the greatest battles we face aren't always external. Often, the battlefield is the mind. Romans 12:1–2 calls us to resist conforming to the patterns of this world and instead be transformed by the renewing of our minds. We were challenged to recognize that not every thought deserves agreement, that we are not defined by our strongest thoughts. Through Christ, we can take thoughts captive, identify lies, and replace them with truth. God desires dominion over every area of our lives, including how we think. When we invite Him into the process, we begin to walk in clarity, freedom, and victory. Proving what is the good, acceptable, and the perfect will of God. What's the loudest thought in your head right now? And what does God say about that? Missed last night's message?

God values life; our world not so much! Today is a heavy topic, but an important one, as Amy looks at how our culture is progressing in its devaluation of life from beginning to end. We need to have a Biblical understanding. Psalm 119:10 says, “With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!” References: 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; Jeremiah 17:9; Proverbs 31:8-10; Proverbs 17:15; Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13-15; Exodus 20:13: Romans 3:23: Romans 6:23; Romans 5:17 Contact us: devotedpodcast@atheycreek.com women@atheycreek.com https://atheycreek.com/ministries/women Follow us on IG: @atheywomen @ammcreynolds

Romans 10:11-13 — How does someone receive salvation? Paul says in Romans 10:11–13 that the first principle of salvation is belief and more specifically, belief in Christ Jesus. Paul just told the church in Rome that they must confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and now he says that they must believe in Him. All who believe will never be put to shame. Although the law and the devil may work against the Christian, the Lord has conquered all these things so that nothing in the whole cosmos could shame His people. In this sermon on Romans 10:11–13 titled “God of Jew and Gentile,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones points out that this specific passage thoroughly and completely emphasizes that salvation and belief are open to whoever calls on Christ, meaning that it equally applies to the Jews and the Gentiles. All are born under Adam, which means that all people groups are under the same condemnation. Paul is sharing that despite what they previously thought, the Jews have no special standing in regard to salvation. The hope is that all people are saved by believing in Christ. Once that is done, God's salvation is perfect and secure for all eternity. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29?v=20251111

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com      A. Twelve disciples chosen and commissioned. 1. (Matthew 10:1-4) The twelve disciples are listed. And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. a. When He had called His twelve disciples to Him: The main feature of this list is its diversity. Jesus chose His disciples from a variety of backgrounds and life experiences. About all they had in common was it seems that none of them were privileged or from backgrounds of high status. This is very much in the spirit of 1 Corinthians 1:26-29. b. He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease: Jesus did not only call the twelve; He also gave them power to do what He had called them to do. The same principle holds true today: whom God calls, God equips. The equipping may not be completely evident before the ministry begins, but it will be evident along the way. c. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: These twelve (excepting Judas, of course), have an important place in God's plan of redemption, including some particular role in the future judgment (Matthew 19:28), and in the founding of the church (Ephesians 2:20). The Bible promises that their position and work will be remembered through eternity (Revelation 21:14). i. This is the first and only time in Matthew that the twelve are called apostles. “The word apostle literally means one who is sent out; it is the word for an envoy or an ambassador.” (Barclay) “Called here for the first and last time apostoloi, with reference at once to the immediate minor mission and to the later great one.” (Bruce) The word apostle can mean a mere messenger, as in John 13:16, referring to he who is sent. Jesus is called an apostle in Hebrews 3:1: consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession. Paul sometimes used the word in the sense of messengers or representatives, as in 2 Corinthians 8:23: they are messengers [apostles] of the churches; possibly also in Romans 16:7. Yet Paul also used the term in a more narrow sense, referring to the Twelve and himself by special dispensation (1 Corinthians 9:1-5 and 15:7-10; Galatians 1:17 and 1:19 following).

Coaching isn't just useful for discipleship—it may be the missing skill set for making disciple-makers. The conversation is candid, funny, and quietly sharp: COVID exposed shallow formation, and the church's "information-first" approach is often producing people who can pass the quiz but can't live the life. What this episode is really about How coaching skills turn discipleship from "content delivery" into "life transformation," and why that matters if you want disciples who can actually reproduce—aka spiritual grandchildren. The main arc COVID as an x-ray: Tracy says the pandemic revealed weakness and shallowness in churches—faith wasn't helping people through reality as much as we assumed. Disciples vs. disciple-makers: Lots of systems can "disciple" people. The breakdown comes when those people are supposed to disciple others…and don't. Coaching as the bridge: Listening, powerful questions, Holy Spirit awareness, concise observations, encouragement—these are the exact "soft skills" disciple-makers need. Ownership beats compliance: If a person doesn't own the next step, they won't do it. Coaching helps them name it, choose it, and commit to it. Gold analogies and quotable moments "Checkbox Christianity": Brian compares conversion to clicking "I agree" on software terms you didn't read…until life hits and you realize you never actually understood what you signed up for. David wearing Saul's armor: What works for the discipler isn't automatically the right "rule of life" for the disciple. Customization matters. Your gallbladder parable: ER doc assumed you wouldn't change ("you'll be back; let's take it out"). Family doctor assumed change is possible and coached you toward it—so you kept your gallbladder. That becomes the whole discipleship point: do we assume people can change? "Pastor, what should I do?" → "You should ask Jesus." (Brian notes how rare that response is—and how coaching questions push people into hearing God, not outsourcing their spiritual life to professionals.) Practical coaching skills applied to discipleship (the "how") Listen to locate, not to reload. Disciple-making isn't "me talking, you listening." It's listening to where someone actually is, then drawing them out. Ask questions that create awareness: Jesus-style questions show up ("Who do you say I am?"). Good disciple-makers ask, not just tell. Use observations (concise messages), not advice-dumps: "When you quoted that verse, something lit up in you." "It sounds like Scripture reading hasn't been life-giving lately." Observations invite reflection without taking over. Offer resources when the gap is real: You can't "pull out" what isn't there. Tracy's prayer example: discover she knows only one way to pray → offer a resource → let her choose what resonates → she owns it. The model Brian Tracy is building 10-month micro-group discipleship (max four people, weekly, relational, life-on-life). Participants lead segments early so development is "doing," not just learning. After 10 months, they go through CAM 501, then get released to disciple 2–3 people. Tracy continues coaching them monthly to review progress—very "Jesus: watch me → do it → debrief → do it again." The punchline challenge to the church The church often assumes discipleship = more information. But Scripture itself pushes toward transformation + obedience: "Teaching them to observe/do…" James: don't merely listen and deceive yourselves. D.L. Moody: Bible wasn't given to increase information, but to transform life. Coaching helps close the gap between knowing and doing. Where Tracy says this is going A disciple-making movement in his local church built on coaching-enabled disciple-makers. Cohorts of pastors in the fall to redesign discipleship in their contexts using coaching skills as the method, regardless of the curriculum. Ending vibe They land the plane with contact info (and more "Brian vs. Bryan" banter), then Brian ties it to Romans 12: transformation through renewed thinking—exactly the kind of change coaching is designed to catalyze.

In this episode, Pastor Cindy talks about living in the fullness of Christ. In the Old Testament, the presence of God was confined to the tabernacle. It had walls and boundaries and only a select people could even handle being in the full presence. The Holy Spirit hadn't been poured out for everyone to receive. But now, in this new covenant, we have been given the Holy Spirit. He now dwells in us. We are the walking tabernacles that host the presence of God. It's important for us to understand the power and authority we carry.  Scripture reference: Ephesians 4:11-13,  Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Romans 8:9-11, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, John 10:27-28, Colossians 1:27, Deut 29:29, 1 Corinthians 2, 1 Corinthians 12, Ephesians 4, Romans 12, Galatians 4, 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Ephesians 3:14, Ephesians 1:23, Ephesians 3:19, Ephesians 4:13, Colossians 1:19, Colossians 2:9, John 1:16, 1 John 4:16, 2 Corinthians 5:14, John 15:9-10, Romans 5:5, 1 John 3:1-3.   Order your copy of Cindy's new book, NEW MOVES OF GOD Check out Cindy's TV show, CINDY STEWART LIVE.

Elliot Rudell was a hardcore hippie living a hedonistic lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock ‘n' roll before he was radically saved and delivered by Jesus in 1973. A transformative spiritual ‘ambush' at a friend's wedding set him on a path he never would have imagined! Today, Elliot is a professional toy and game inventor with over 150 patents and the owner of Rudell Design. From the Jewish lineage, Elliot is very concerned about the potential damage both to the Jewish people and the Church as a result of the deceptive doctrine of Replacement Theology. Elliot believes it contradicts the fullness of both testament teachings. He references Jeremiah 31 and Romans 10-11 and points to the importance of studying and embracing the New and Old Testaments as one complete message, noting that the Old Testament constitutes nearly 80% of the entire word of God.TAKEAWAYSJesus is absolutely true and absolutely righteous and the Bible is intended to be viewed as one complete (‘echad') bookGod has predestined that each man has a free will to accept and love, or refuse and reject God and His salvationIsrael is under an eternal and special covenant with God, and He is jealous for His peopleSanctification means you have been called to holiness, but not that you are automatically holy - that is a choice of your free will

Paul's final words in Romans 16 provide essential guidance for church unity and spiritual victory. He warns believers to identify and avoid divisive people who serve their own interests rather than Christ, using smooth words to promote unbiblical doctrines. True spiritual warfare isn't about what Satan does to us, but what we allow him to do through our choices. Jesus already crushed Satan at the cross, and we experience this victory when we accept Christ. The key to spiritual growth isn't getting more of God, but surrendering more of ourselves to Him.Thank you for joining us at NorthRidge Church!

In this episode of Wake Up, Look Up, Pastor Zach draws from a Wall Street Journal article on nonconformists, he explores how the people who change the world are often the ones willing to think and live differently. Scripture echoes that call—Romans 12 reminds us not to conform, but to be transformed. Following Jesus will sometimes feel uncomfortable or “weird,” but that contrast is often how God brings growth, witness, and real change to the people around us.Have an article you'd like Pastor Zach to discuss?

by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on December 28, 2025) In our series on the Book of Romans, we have come to chapter 12. But before we begin to look at Paul’s instructions on godly living and presenting our bodies a living sacrifice, we decided to do a quick review of what we have learned...

Romans 5:1-11 | Psalm 19 |

 Continuing in Jeremiah 17:19–27, this teaching addresses the meaning of the Sabbath—not as a legalistic observance, but as a prophetic sign pointing to Christ Himself. By examining Scripture from Jeremiah, the Gospels, Romans, Colossians, and Hebrews, the message explains why Sabbath-keeping was treated as a matter of life and death under the Old Covenant and how its true fulfillment is found in entering God's rest through Jesus. Contrasting religious rule-keeping with genuine faith, this study exposes the emptiness of man-made religion, false visions, and legalism, and calls believers to rest fully in the completed work of Christ, who alone is the substance behind every shadow.

Romans 3 pt3 - God's Judgment Defended by Ray Jensen

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee goes through a verse-by-verse analysis of Romans chs. 9-11: Romans 10:9-21. This is then followed by a review of important stories and issues from the past day or so, largely witnessed on social media.

When identity is insecure, fear drives marriage into performance and hiding. But when our identity is secure in Christ, marriage becomes a place of safety and connection.In this episode, we explore how gospel identity dismantles fear and performance, drawing from Romans 8 and Ephesians 2:10. Discover how living out who you are in Christ leads to greater honesty, emotional safety, and deeper connection in marriage—moving couples from striving to security.

Send us a textWhat if the way you read Daniel 9 changes how you see the cross, the church, and your hope? We dive straight into the claim that Daniel's prophecy uniquely vindicates Jesus as the Messiah and explore why detaching the 70th week and pushing it into the future can quietly shift the center of faith from Christ's finished work to an Antichrist-centered storyline. We trace the rise of dispensationalism, test its assumptions against Scripture, and ask the hard pastoral questions: if redemption's key promises are delayed, what did “It is finished” finish? If the church and the Spirit are removed before tribulation, how is anyone saved?From there we turn to the unity of salvation across Scripture. Abraham believed, David walked by the Spirit, and the rock in the wilderness was Christ. One gospel, one Mediator, one people of God. This continuity brings clarity to eschatology and guards us from novelty masquerading as insight. But we also slow down to talk about character and community. Romans 14 calls us to stop condemning each other and to build each other up. Charity is not softness; it is strength under truth. We share practical ways to hear people fully, correct with patience, and become students of the Word who can spot teaching that fractures the story of redemption.We also sit with the ache of divine silence. Using Job's journey and the “teacher is quiet during the test” picture, we talk about how God's silence often signals His nearness and purpose. Even opposition serves a role in God's sovereign plan, as He proves His word in real time and forms a mature, steady people. The conversation closes with prayer, gratitude, and a vision for a church that worships together across generations—children included—holding one another up through trials and controversy alike.If this challenged or encouraged you, share it with a friend, subscribe for future deep dives, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway or question.

The overwhelming characteristic of God is invitation not condemnation. Romans 8.1 Matthew 11.28

This week we delve into Romans chapter 9 as Gary teaches on the frequently misunderstood topics of election and God's sovereignty from the perspective of grace.

Genesis 25:20-34, 26:34-35, 27:5-46, 28:1-9, Romans 15:4 / January 26-28, 2026 Though a twin, he was quite the opposite of his younger brother and ultimately became the heartache of the family. Ripped off by his brother and rejected by his family, he couldn't win, no matter how hard he tried. As we shall soon discover, the Bible pulls no punches. And you may find several places in this story where you can identify with Esau, “the son who couldn't win.” From the Series: Fascinating Stories of Forgotten Lives: Rediscovering Some Old Testament Characters read more

When pastors fall into sexual sin, adultery, or moral failure, the impact on churches, families, and individual believers can be devastating. In this episode of Redeeming Truth from Redeemer Bible Church, Pastor Jon Benzinger sits down with our pastors and biblical counselors to speak honestly about fallen pastors, pastoral disqualification, and how Christians can process betrayal while rebuilding trust in Christ—not in men. Drawing from real-life stories of hidden sin, long-term affairs, and leaders disqualified from ministry, this conversation addresses: Why sound theology—even Reformed doctrine—alone cannot keep a pastor from falling How discontentment, lust, pride, and heart-level idolatry fuel secret sin The ripple effects of pastoral failure on marriages, children, congregations, and communities Why pastors are "but men" who need accountability, prayer, and close fellowship How believers can grieve rightly while keeping their eyes fixed on Jesus You'll also hear: A sobering account of a large church shattered by a long-hidden affair Counseling insights on trust, trauma, disillusionment, and church discipline Biblical warnings from Luke 4:13; 1 Timothy 4:16; James 1; Romans 13, and more Why discontentment often becomes the gateway sin to adultery and moral failure Howard Hendricks' findings from thousands of fallen pastors—and what they all had stopped doing If you've been hurt by a fallen pastor, fear it could happen where you worship, or are a pastor who wants to finish well, this episode offers sober warning, biblical clarity, and gospel hope.  

Jase wakes up expecting a quiet morning and instead finds himself facing a household mess that leads to an honest, awkward conversation with his daughter Mia about late-night choices and personal responsibility. Al reflects on a painful season when his marriage felt like it was on the brink. Looking back, he shares how learning to see past failure made it possible to imagine a future again, even when hope felt out of reach. The guys offer a candid look at family tension, personal growth, and how hard moments can become turning points when you're willing to face them head-on.
