Podcasts about seeking god

Feeling distant from God? Megan J. Conner reminds us in Hide and Seek that even when we hide from Him—whether through sin, fear, or heartache—He is patiently waiting to be found.

Seeking God's manifest presence

How the Old and New Testaments tell us the same thing

Family heritage can point you toward God, but it can't stand in for your own surrender. The faith that saves is personal, a real "yes", a living trust, a daily walk you choose yourself. The second hand belief may spark curiosity, but only your heart's response makes you new. And in today's message, Pastor Malcolm will encourage you to let that truth nudge you from borrowed convictions to authentic commitment. Seeking God, confessing honestly and building rhythms of prayer and obedience that are truly yours.

Proverbs 3:5-6Steve Veinotte

The importance of seeking God's presence for ourselves, not as onlookers.

In this episode, I sit down with Krista Williams from the Almost 30 podcast, and we go deep on the conversations most people avoid… the truth about female friendships, the power of radical accountability, and the process of finding your own spiritual connection outside of labels and dogma.   We explore: How to navigate friendship breakups with honesty and integrity. Why women need permission to have preferences in their relationships. The difference between “my truth” vs. “the truth,” and how language can heal or harm. Reclaiming spirituality after losing connection to religion. Radical accountability as the most empowering practice in relationships and life.   If you've ever struggled with misaligned friendships, questioned your spiritual path, or wanted to step deeper into your personal power, this conversation is going to land.

Send us a text In this heartfelt episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, Sarah Thurman Price opens up about her deep grief over the assassination of Charlie Kirk and reflects on what his life and legacy mean for believers today. She shares personal stories, including her own near-loss on 9/11 and the later passing of her husband, weaving them together with scripture, prayer, and a call to reject evil and pursue righteousness. With urgency and conviction, Sarah challenges listeners to repent, pray, and boldly live as lights on a hill in a culture filled with hate and deception. This episode is both a tribute to a faithful servant of God and a wake-up call to rise up, stand firm, and trust in God's love to bring revival. 

--SummaryIn this conversation, Lunaria Gaia delves into the significance of meaningful discussions over small talk, reflecting on the recent death of Charlie Kirk and its implications for Christians. She emphasizes the importance of self-love, the urgency of seeking God, and the transformative power of faith. The conversation challenges listeners to choose sides in a world filled with spiritual warfare and to investigate the truth claims of Jesus. Ultimately, it calls for a deeper understanding of God's justice and the debt we owe, urging individuals to live in the spirit rather than the flesh.Takeaways-Small talk is often despised in favour of deeper conversations.-Charlie Kirk's death serves as a wake-up call for Christians.-Self-love is important, but excessive navel-gazing can be destructive.-Christians are called to respond to violence with love, not hatred.-The struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces.-Agnosticism is no longer a viable option; a choice must be made.-God's wrath is justified in the face of evil.-True faith transforms individuals from the inside out.-Seeking God is an urgent necessity in today's world.-Living for worldly desires will ultimately leave one unfulfilled.

Tension and chaos from bad news, job loss, spiritual conflicts and broken relationships often disrupt our lives. In these moments, individuals must choose between fear and seeking divine guidance. Turning to scripture and acting on faith becomes essential. While tension is a common experience, it can also serve as a catalyst for obedience and spiritual growth. (2 Chronicles 20:1-25)

Pastor Jack shares about Mario Murillo's upcoming crusade in Houston, shares stories of faith from leaders like Oral Roberts and Billy Graham, and urges us to pursue God's presence with endurance and live as vessels of forgiveness in Christ.

In this sermon, Pastor Landon Churchill unpacks Jesus' teaching in Luke 12:22–34, where He addresses two of the biggest struggles of the human heart: covetousness (“I want more”) and worry (“I don't have enough”). Both are traps that distract us from God's care and kingdom purposes. Through vivid illustrations, Scripture references, and encouragement for daily life, Pastor Landon reminds us that: • Worry never adds anything—it only subtracts. • God feeds the ravens and clothes the lilies; how much more will He care for His children? • Our true treasure is eternal, not temporary. • Seeking God's kingdom first realigns our priorities and frees us from anxiety. • Where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also.

Pastor Jack teaches that true Christian living means laboring to love others and practice God's presence daily, because when we lead with love, forgive, and cultivate His Spirit within us, we become carriers of God's blessing and power everywhere we go.

What if the very challenges you face are part of God's greater plan for your good? In this sermon, Pastor James Wilson shares the truth of Romans 8:28, reminding us that all things work together for good to those who love God. From struggles with health and family to the battles against sin, Pastor Wilson teaches that God's sovereignty is absolute and His plan is never shaken. Drawing strength from Romans 8:37, he encourages us that we are more than conquerors through Christ's love. The key lesson is this: no matter what “things” you are facing, faith and obedience to God's Word will lead you to victory and transformation.

Justice At Last ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | August 24, 2025 Esther Series, Part 7: Esther 7 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Ever wonder why justice seems delayed while evil appears to prosper? Through the climactic chapter of Esther's story, Michael Shockley reveals how God's justice works - even when it seems absent. From childhood candy theft to global injustices, we all wrestle with why bad things happen to good people and why the guilty seem to escape consequences. But in Esther chapter 7, we witness the ultimate reversal as Queen Esther finally reveals Haman's genocidal plot at the second royal banquet. Watch as the master manipulator becomes terrified, accidentally breaks Persian law by falling near the queen, and ends up executed on the very gallows he built for Mordecai. Through humor, personal stories, and biblical insight, discover how our sense of justice actually reflects God's character and why we can trust that evil may run its mouth, but God's justice will have the last word. Core Message: Evil may run its mouth, but God's Justice has the last word. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Universal Desire for Justice - Childhood experiences with unfairness and sibling candy theft - Road rage when bad drivers don't get caught by police - The deeper pain when serious injustices go unpunished - How our anger at injustice reflects God's image in us - Why justice feels delayed in a microwave culture when God uses the "Crock Pot" Esther's Strategic Timing - The Persian custom of multiple banquets for major requests - Why Esther delayed her request through two separate meals - The power of three days of fasting and prayer for divine guidance - Building up to the revelation rather than making immediate accusations - How dedicated prayer changes situations and people The Second Banquet Revelation - The "banquet of wine" as the traditional time for big requests - The king's repeated offer: "up to half the kingdom" as generous hyperbole - Esther's careful approach: "give me my life and the lives of my people" - Her wisdom in mentioning the king's financial loss from genocide - The perfect timing after the king remembered Mordecai's loyalty The Great Unmasking - The king's rage at learning someone threatened his queen - Haman's shock at discovering Esther was Jewish - "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!" - The terror of the master schemer when his plot is exposed - How the trusted advisor's betrayal felt like a personal attack Divine Providence in Action - The king's strategic exit to process the shocking news - Haman's desperate pleading that led to breaking Persian law - Falling on the queen's couch while no man could approach within seven steps - The king's return at the perfect moment to misinterpret the scene - How apparent coincidences reveal God's orchestration Poetic Justice Fulfilled - The servant's reminder about the 75-foot gallows built for Mordecai - The irony of Haman being executed on his own construction - How the enemy literally constructed his own destruction - The public nature of his humiliation and death - God writing a story of justice no human author could script The Challenge of Living Justly - Micah 6:8: "do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with your God" - How we demand justice from others while avoiding personal responsibility - The call to live with integrity even when it costs us - Speaking truth and refusing to participate in wrongdoing - Trusting God's timing when justice seems delayed ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "Evil may run its mouth, but God's Justice has the last word." "Your ability to recognize injustice and your anger with injustice come from the incredible truth that you were created in the image of a Just God." "We want microwave answers, when God might be using the Crock Pot." "What looks like a coincidence is providence." "The enemy constructed his own destruction. The Unseen Hand of God wrote a story of justice no human author could script." "Just because we can't see justice, it doesn't mean justice isn't on the way." "The Justice of God may move slowly, it may be hidden, but when it arrives, it is undeniable and irresistible." "Don't forget that even injustice will eventually play into God's Plans." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 7:1-6 - Key Verse: "And Esther said, 'The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman!'" (Esther 7:6) - Supporting Verse: "He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:8) - Theme: Divine justice working through human circumstances - Historical Context: The Persian banquet customs and royal protocol - Ultimate Justice: How the greatest injustice (the Cross) became our salvation ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You're Frustrated with Injustice: - Remember that your sense of justice reflects God's image in you - Trust that God sees every wrong and will address it in His timing - Don't lose heart when you see evil appearing to prosper - Know that the boom of God's justice will echo through eternity If You're Seeking God's Guidance: - Consider the power of dedicated fasting and prayer like Esther - Move beyond stress-talking to God toward focused, directed prayer - Trust that something will give - the situation, you, or both - Allow time for God to reveal His strategy and timing If You've Been Wronged: - Trust that the enemy often constructs their own destruction - Know that apparent coincidences may be divine providence at work - Remember that delayed justice doesn't mean denied justice - Find comfort that God will set all things right, if not now, then eternally If You Want to See Justice: - Start by living justly in your own life and relationships - Act with integrity even when it costs you personally - Speak truth and refuse to participate in wrongdoing - Treat people with kindness and respect regardless of their response If You're Tempted to Take Justice into Your Own Hands: - Trust God's timing rather than forcing your own solutions - Remember that vengeance belongs to the Lord - Focus on faithfulness rather than getting even - Let God orchestrate the reversals and revelations ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION Maybe you've experienced betrayal, unfairness, or injustice that still stings today. Maybe you've watched the guilty prosper while the innocent suffer. Maybe you've wondered where God is in the midst of corruption and oppression. This much is true: the same God who orchestrated justice for Haman is still the God of justice today. Your anger at injustice isn't wrong - it reflects His image in you. But remember that the greatest injustice in history - the crucifixion of the only innocent man who ever lived - became the source of our salvation. Jesus took the injustice we deserved so we could receive the mercy we don't deserve. Trust in His justice, live justly yourself, and remember that evil may run its mouth, but God's justice will have the last word. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app or offering boxes ---------- Are you living justly in your own sphere of influence? Have you trusted in God's mercy through Jesus? Remember that while evil may seem to get away with everything now, the Judge of all the earth will do right, and His justice will be both perfect and final.

In this sermon, Pastor Chris Romig introduces a church-wide season of 40 days of prayer and fasting, encouraging everyone to see it not as an optional add-on or a legalistic demand, but as a gracious invitation to deeper relationship with God. Drawing from biblical examples like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus, Romig emphasizes that focused seasons of prayer and renewal are central to Christian life. He outlines three guiding questions for the season: How much do I desire for more? – Encouraging listeners to pray for increased spiritual hunger. When and where will I pray? – Stressing the need for intentional, regular prayer times and places. What kind of fasting might God be inviting me to do? – Urging thoughtful choices to create space for God by letting go of distractions or unhelpful habits. Romig provides practical advice for overcoming challenges in prayer, such as wandering thoughts, and recommends structured prayer methods like the Lord's Prayer or the PRAY acronym. He shares personal insights and references the transformation seen in prayer-focused churches, stating that prayer is the engine that drives spiritual life and community renewal. The sermon ends with a collective prayer, inviting everyone to embrace this season with expectation, make space for God, and yield to His work, trusting that God will bring about spiritual growth and revival during these forty days.

Kevin McKay preaches "Seeking God's Smile" from Psalm 80, continuing our series "Psalms", in this Sunday morning gathering of Grace Harbor Church.

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 Inconsistencies. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Faithfulness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Search Me, O God: Divine Dialogue: Seeking God's Face Through Requesting Prayers, Part 2 Series: Prayers That Shape Us Scripture: James 5:13-16 Episode: 1399 In James 5:13–16, believers are encouraged to turn to God in every circumstance—to pray when suffering, sing praises when cheerful, and call for the elders to pray and anoint with oil when sick. James emphasizes the power of prayer, especially when offered in faith and righteousness, promising that it brings healing, forgiveness, and restoration. He urges believers to confess their sins to one another and pray together, highlighting the importance of community, accountability, and spiritual support. Key themes include the healing power of prayer, faith in action, and confession and spiritual restoration.  

In this episode, we explore how true victory comes from trusting God, not numbers or strength. We'll dive into the dangers of spiritual forgetfulness and the power of wholehearted commitment to God's daily guidance.Themes of this podcast:Victory comes from relying on the Lord. Both Abijah and Asa faced overwhelming odds. Their victories were tied not to military strength, but to their willingness to cry out to God. The Chronicler emphasizes when God's people rely on Him, He responds with power.Faithfulness leads to peace. Forgetfulness leads to decline. Asa's early reign was marked by courage, reform, and peace, because he sought the Lord. Over time, comfort dulled his dependence on God. The decline of his spiritual life shows how dangerous spiritual forgetfulness can be.God strengthens those who seek Him wholeheartedly. We don't have to be perfect. God is simply looking to support those fully committed to Him. Seeking God isn't a one-time act. It's a daily decision that shapes a legacy.Show Notes:BlogWe love feedback, but can't reply without your email address. Message us your thoughts and contact info!
