Ever feel overwhelmed and you don't know why?Or find yourself reacting way too strongly to something small—like a casual comment, a minor setback, or an unexpected bill? You're not broken.You're just not getting to the root of the problem.And today on The Impossible Life Shortcast, Nick Surface walks you through a powerful, repeatable process to identify, disarm, and reframe the emotions that keep sabotaging your peace, focus, and purpose.

Just as deceptive weeds can creep into a healthy garden, pride often sneaks into our hearts, growing unnoticed among our accomplishments and even our service to God. Annie Yorty uses a vivid gardening metaphor to help us recognize how pride takes root and how we can humbly invite God to weed it out. Through reflection, Scripture, and prayer, we’re reminded to give glory to the true source of all our gifts: God alone. Themes Explored: The subtle danger of pride Recognizing the difference between self-glory and God-glory Daily humility as spiritual “weed control” Confession and dependence on God for heart inspection Living for God’s glory over our own Scripture Reference Jeremiah 9:23 (NLT) “This is what the Lord says: ‘Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom, or the powerful boast in their power, or the rich boast in their riches.’”

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? In this powerful sermon, Pastor Eric Thomas uses lyrics from Miguel's hit song "Sure Thing"—"Bet that, never gotta sweat that"—to remind us that when you bet on God, you never have to worry about the outcome. No matter what chaos or challenges you face, God's promises are always a sure thing. If you're tired of carrying the weight on your own, this message will show you how to let go of stress and fully trust that God has everything under control. He won't fail you—ever. Key Points: God is a Sure Thing: Why you can always count on Him, no matter the situation. How to release stress and trust in God's perfect plan. Strategic warfare: while the enemy may have a plan, God's plan is always greater. Stop worrying—when you bet on God, you never have to sweat it! Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 29:11 — "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Church attendance is great, but not enough to increase our faith, however investing time with God daily will lead us to Heaven's gate.Matthew 19: 28-302. So who or what are we willing to subtract some time from and give it to God, social media, tell lie vision, friends or Mom and Dad?Matthew 6:33Mark 1: 35-393.  When we invest time with God and we are really listening, he will lead and guide us straight to our blessing.John 15:5Revelation 2:1-54.  Okay real talk, if we don't make God our daily priority, why would he make our blessings a priority?(This is why so many are still awaiting a blessing)James 4:1-10

Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 29:11. This sermon was recorded on Sunday, Jan. 3, 2021.

Do you secretly feel like God might be tired of you? Like his love is conditional and you've used up all your chances? Like his promises are for other "better Christians"-not you?I've wondered all of these things. And these thoughts are grounded in the lies of the enemy. You are more LOVED than you know!Your Heavenly Father wants you to finally come to an understanding of just how much he cares for you!He wants you to realize that when he sees you... he smiles. When he hears your voice... his heart melts.He loves you... no strings attached! You don't have to do anything to get his love, and you can't do anything to lose his love. HE LOVES YOU!ENJOY!Scripture Reference-Jeremiah 31:3Music by Yvette Raautenbachronicacormier.com- Learn Morebit.ly/mtsisterhood- FB Mama Trauma Sisterhood Grouphttps://bit.ly/traumacoach- COACHINGhttps://www.instagram.com/ronicacormier97/-Connect On Instagraminfo@ ronicacormier.com- CONNECT/COACHING/COLLABS

Have you ever felt like you can't shake off the heaviness that seems to weigh you down or the fogginess that makes you feel blind? If you identify with this statement, that's a signal that you haven't fully obeyed God. His desire is for you to be prosperous in your soul (3 John 1:2); the only way to attain this is by being obedient to His Word.

Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 17:7-9

Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 29:4-14 ESV

Jesus tells us to love, but how do you love someone who breaks your heart? How do you love someone who continually frustrates you? Today's sermon tackles how to love people and institutions which disappoint and hurt us. Using insights from the prophet Jeremiah, Fr. Stephen reassures us that disappointment and sorrow are normal parts of human life. We must love people who cause us grief because every love causes grief. Yet, Jesus' grace is enough to help us bear this grief with the hope that God can lead us through.Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 8:18-9:1Preached on the 15th Sunday after Pentecost - September 22, 2019 by Rev. Stephen SilverthorneSermon HighlightsJeremiah's lament reminds us that godly life isn't always joyfulJeremiah is grief-stricken about Israel's sufferingsHe is also frustrated by Israel's terrible behaviourHe grieves because he & God love IsraelWe grieve and get angry at the church for the same reasonsWe grieve and get angry at ourselves for the same reasonsJesus' answer to grief over Israel is to love it with divine, sacrificial loveThe result is transformationThis love is applied to the churchThis love is applied to usWe should let ourselves be transformed by this loveWhen we are conduits of this love, we bring transformation to those who hurt usFurther ReferenceWhy Can't You Behave sung by Ella FitzgeraldChrist's Body, Christ's Wounds by Eve Tushnet.

We all grumble sometimes. Yet, how often do we remember the blessings we receive? Today's sermon addresses the challenge of gratitude during teams of disappointment and struggle. We can go through times where gratitude is hard to feel, but trusting in God will bring us to a place where we can feel it once again.Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 2:4-13Preached on the 12th Sunday after Pentecost, September 1, 2019 by Rev. Stephen SilverthorneSermon HighlightsJeremiah offers a timely challenge to today's churchHe challenges us to consider ways God has blessed usHe challenges us to be diligent in thanking God for what is goodHowever, gratitude is not always easyIn times of disappointment, God challenges us to remain loyalTrusting God in hard times brings us to a place where we can eventually be gratefulJeremiah warns Israel to be careful what you worshipWe come to resemble what we worshipIf we portray God as harsh, we become harshIf we portray God as soft and fuzzy, we become soft and fuzzyJesus gives boundaries, but also mercy and loveWe become fully human by worship Jesus as he is See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Christians are supposed to be hopeful people. God gives us great promises about how He will care for us, and how He will make all things right. Yet, these hopeful promises can be hard to believe when our everyday life is full of challenges and disappointments. This sermon argues that Advent is meant to help us keep hope while remembering that the challenges are real.Scripture Reference: Jeremiah 33:14-18; Luke 21:25-36Preached on the First Sunday of Advent, December 2, 2018 by Rev. Stephen SilverthorneSermon HighlightsPeople flourish when they stay hopeful without denying the bitter truthThe birth of Jesus reminds us that God keeps His promises to IsraelJesus' prophecy about the destruction of Jerusalem shows us that when an era ends, it is natural to be fearfulWe can keep hope that Jesus will come again, when we prepare ourselves through daily looking for ways Jesus is present nowFurther ReadingA useful prayer app for preparing us for Church in AdventPray As You Go: Advent ReflectionAn Advent reflection for each Sunday of AdventThe Practice of ExamenA prayerful method of self-examinationDeveloped by the Jesuit Order in the Roman Catholic Church, this daily reflection method helps us see how God is at work in our livesA Book Fr.
