What is Heaven going to be like? Is the family changing? Salvation, redemption and justification? This and more in today's edition of Called to Communion with Dr. David Anders. (Originally aired on 12/30/24)
In this powerful episode of Made for Impact, Petia welcomes her longtime friend Nadia — a woman whose life was radically changed by Jesus after years in the New Age movement, sobriety recovery culture, and searching for meaning. The two originally met in a Las Vegas nail salon over a decade ago — not knowing God would one day write them into the same story. Years later, both found themselves saved by Christ, walking away from the New Age, and stepping into a new identity. This episode dives into: - Leaving New Age beliefs - Sobriety and surrender - Healing resentment and anger - Reading Scripture for the first time - Dating as a Christian woman in Hollywood - Experiencing the Holy Spirit - Understanding God's timing - Learning peace over pressure - Faith in uncertainty Whether you're new to faith, curious about Christianity, or untangling spiritual confusion — this testimony will speak to your heart.

Send us a textIt's been an outstanding year with great guests and excellent perspectives on what it means to go the extra mile for others. Matthew 5:41 describes instruction from Jesus about this principle. If any would force you to go with them a mile, go with them two. Not begrudgingly, but with the mindset that you were placed in that situation to make a change. It takes perspective of heavenly thinking to take that first step. The Bible does not promise we won't suffer in this world. In fact, it guarantees we will suffer for our faith. Rejoice in the Lord through our sufferings, because this world has already been overcome by Jesus. That perspective and faith causes action toward others, to help them out of darkness, to break down barriers, to cause others to pause and question what's going on. Salvation is open to all, for those who have ears to hear and eyes to see. Behold, Jesus stands at the door and knocks. Will you open the door of your heart to Him?=====Searching for answers to life's questions? Need help finding a church? Drop us a line.

Send us a textThe life of a believer requires some things. Salvation by grace through faith is the starting point but with that comes a cleansing when the Holy Spirit is invited into a person's life. The process of cleansing is ongoing throughout the believer's life and brings us closer to Jesus as we distance ourself from our own iniquity.
Incarnation is salvation. The moment the Word became flesh and joined the human race, salvation for humanity was guaranteed. Everything connected with this would have to play out in due course—a human life, death upon a cross, resurrection on the third day—but salvation for the human race was guaranteed the moment Mary said, “Be it unto me according to your word.” With the birth of Jesus, humanity would no longer be founded in Adam but founded in Christ. Incarnation is salvation.
In this episode, Sathiya Sam shares his journey from addiction to freedom, highlighting the biblical call to sexual integrity and holiness. This episode focuses on how believers can establish their hearts and live as integrity ambassadors in a broken world. Through his testimony and practical insights, Sathiya explains why overcoming sexual sin is not about surface-level solutions, but a heart transformation that aligns convictions with lifestyle. He challenges listeners to pursue true freedom through the Holy Spirit, not just behavior modification, and emphasizes the importance of building self-awareness, healing the heart, and embracing a new identity in Christ.

God's armor may not always feel comfortable, but it is necessary. It's not a buffet. It's irreducibly complex. Miss one piece and you're vulnerable—like an old VW bus with 12,000 parts and no brake fluid. One small omission can become a big disaster. We tend to trust our strengths too much. Blind spots are real. David, Peter, Abraham, Moses—giants with gaps. The armor is “of God.” That means the source and the standard are God, not me. I traced the cultural shift in authority: ancient (Scripture), modern (science), postmodern (self). We live in the age of “I feel,” where feelings often sit in the driver's seat. But Ephesians assumes an ancient posture: God speaks; Scripture is authority; I submit my emotions, not the other way around. With God's armor, we CAN withstand. Not easily, but truly (1 Corinthians 10:13; Romans 6). We celebrate forgiveness—and we should—but we should also celebrate that we are no longer slaves to sin. New covenant hearts want God. We get deceived when we trade deep joy for cheap thrills. Cheap is available. Deep takes patience and wisdom. Porn promises intensity and leaves people empty, ashamed, and alone. Shallow “community” at the bar gives the feeling of companionship without the truth that transforms us. Buying kids off with stuff substitutes for the hard and beautiful work of forming souls. When tempted, pause and ask, “What do I most want in ten years?” Pray. Phone a friend. Choose the long game. Then there's “the evil day.” Not Revelation horses. The personal season when the waves don't stop. Some in Scripture fell on their evil day; others stood—Joseph, Daniel, Shadrach/Meshach/Abednego, Paul, and Jesus. We come to the Table to be strengthened, so when that day comes, we can stand.
When we celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family every year after Christmas, we are not just honoring the perfect family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. We are also understanding that we are called to live in our own families according to the model of the Holy Family, and that our Salvation in Jesus is tied directly to the family God gave us to live in.

God's grace is freely given, and profound love flows from receiving it, not from trying to earn it through rigid religious acts. Recognizing our own deep need for forgiveness (like the woman) leads to humble worship, while self-righteousness (like Simon) blinds us to grace.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 355, “We're Not Graded on a Curve,” Kim discusses the dangers of Christ-followers comparing their walk to others. In today's text, we see the story of someone who did evil, but his evil was not as bad as others. May we get our eyes on Christ, the only example we should be chasing, and get off the comparison wheel. Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 17:1-4, with 2 as the focal verse: 2 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, but not to the same extent as the kings of Israel who ruled before him. WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: Spend a few prayerful minutes reading Matthew 5-7. Additional Resources and Scriptures: 48 But you are to be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:48) 1 So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1) 5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8) 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Instead of recording the details of Jesus' birth, he talks about God's long term plan, made at the beginning of creation. Let's find out what that plan was as we read John 1:1-18.
As Jesus continued in His High Priestly prayer to His Heavenly Father, He prayed specifically for HIs disciples. Pastor Al Dagel brings this emphasis to us today.
Jesus birth was only the beginning of an amazing redemption story. His coming brought the joy of reconnecting with God through Salvation. He also modeled a life of intimacy with the Father and showed a people living as orphans what the Father heart for them really was.
Final LessonsIntroductionOur final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in sin that made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in all its ways, and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the escape from pain.His is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. It is His way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending God Himself appointed. In the dream of time it seems to be far off. And yet, in truth, it is already here; already serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. Let us together follow in the way that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many brothers who are seeking for the way, but find it not.And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. It is the goal that God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given back, completely and complete.It is our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His Own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth and life that shows the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through our forgiveness, given unto him.We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken. Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he failed to understand the truth?We come in honesty to God and say we did not understand, and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons, through the Voice of His Own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him, and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His Own Words to you. And more than that can no one ever have, for in these Words is all there is, and all that there will be throughout all time and in eternity.LESSON 361This Holy Instant Would I Give To You.Be You In Charge. For I Would Follow You,Certain That Your Direction Gives Me Peace.And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Discover the profound connection between beloved Christmas movies and the universal longing for home, as explored through the lens of the first Christmas story. The theme of "going home" reflects our deep-seated desire for belonging and acceptance, which mirrors the journey of Mary, Joseph, and the wise men to Bethlehem, the "House of Bread."

Why does the Church place the martyrdom of Saint Stephen immediately after Christmas Day? Father Mark Baron, MIC explains that the tenderness of Bethlehem and the violence of Stephen's death belong to the same mystery: salvation. Christmas is not only the birth of a child; it is the coming of divine light into a darkened world — a light that saves, but also confronts.Salvation is more than a moment. It is participation in the very life of God through grace. Jesus enters the world as the Word made flesh, the Light of truth sent to reveal the Father and restore communion with Him. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (Jn 1:5; NABRE). Yet when truth shines, darkness resists.Saint Stephen, filled with grace and power, lived a transformed life after Pentecost (Acts 6:8). His witness to Christ threatened those who clung to security without conversion. Unable to refute the truth, they attacked the messenger. Stephen, fixing his gaze on heaven, saw Christ standing at the right hand of the Father — the Savior welcoming His faithful witness home.Christmas teaches us that salvation must be endured, not assumed. Jesus Himself warns, “But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.” (Mt 24:13). The Child in the manger is also the Light that exposes hearts, inviting repentance, perseverance, and real transformation.Saint Stephen reminds us that affection for Christmas is not enough. We are called to receive the truth Christ brings, even when it wounds, because within that pain is the healing God desires. To welcome the Light is to allow our lives to be changed. ★ Support this podcast ★

LESSON 360Peace Be To Me, The Holy Son Of God.Peace To My Brother, Who Is One With Me.Let All The World Be Blessed With Peace Through Us.Father, it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. I am Your Son, forever just as You created me, for the Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed within me. I would reach to them in silence and in certainty, for nowhere else can certainty be found. Peace be to me, and peace to all the world. In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. Your Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness. And with this thought we gladly say “Amen.”- Jesus Christ in ACIM
"The Impossibility of Sacrifice and the Reality of Oneness” In this illuminating movie session with David, we are gently guided into the remembrance that awakening is a one-way ticket to the heart—a natural return to what has always been true. Through commentary on the second mini-movie from the Pluribus series, David reflects on Oneness, showing how resistance, anger, and judgment are delay maneuvers of the ego, while God's Love for us remains unstoppable and all-encompassing. The movie scenes unfold as living parables, reminding us that awakening is not forced but comes through a gentle willingness to lay aside fear and accept the happiness already given. He emphasizes the importance of changing perception rather than trying to change the world. As we are all going deeper in applying these teachings in our daily lives, we are continually invited into the quiet recognition that the game of fear has no real power. As David reminds us, “Salvation can be thought of as a game that happy children play… be happy now!” For more information about David Hoffmeister, and Living Miracles events, visit https://www.the-christ.net/events Listen to the entire talk: https://www.spreaker.com/episode/mystical-christ-academy-the-impossibility-of-sacrifice-and-the-reality-of-oneness-movie-session-with-david-hoffmeister--69061437 To participate online in a Movie Gathering, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/courses/membership-weekly-online-movie-gatherings Join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christ If you are interested to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.

Msgr. Esseff reflects on the eternal identity of Jesus Christ as the Word through whom all things were made, now dwelling among us in human flesh. He invites listeners to gaze upon the infant Jesus and recognize that this child is the radiance of the Father, the light that shines in darkness, and the source of grace poured out upon the world. Christmas is presented not simply as a remembrance of a past event, but as a present encounter with divine love made visible. The post God Made Flesh for the Salvation of the World – A Christmas message from Msgr. John Esseff – Discerning Hearts Podcast appeared first on Discerning Hearts Catholic Podcasts.
In the final hour of the Jesus Christ Show, the first caller, Keith, asks about Mary's sinlessness, and Jesus explains the Catholic Church's doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, which is not supported by scripture. He also discusses the concept of unforgivable sins, citing the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and how it's a final decision that can't be undone. Other callers ask about the Trinity, the physical conception of Jesus, and the history of Christmas. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
