In this week's episode we're going to take a look at the Latin term “Carpe diem” which translates to “Seize the Day”.
We live in a unique time in history as modern air travel allows us to arrive nearly anywhere in a matter of days or even hours. Consequently, people are migrating all around the world. With the advance of technology, the gospel has advanced. Yet, of the approximately 12,000 unique people groups known to exist, more than 7,000 remain less than 2 percent Christian and roughly 3,000 of those remain unengaged with the gospel. How will the millions of people who are part of these people groups hear the Good News? The U.S. is a country filled with people of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds. Over the years, America has become so diverse that we can do “international missions” in our own neighborhoods.” The U.S. is a country filled with people of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds. Over the years, America has become so diverse that we can do “international missions” in our own neighborhoods. But that doesn't negate the call for us to go to the nations. The church at Antioch understood its role in the Great Commission and has much to teach us today.

Sitting on our front porch, my wife and I were enjoying a quiet evening watching neighbors stroll by on the sidewalk. With little warning, a stray cloud unleashed a sprinkle of rain as a couple was passing by. Frantically, they scurried beneath a tree in our yard for shelter. Admittedly, I was a bit amused by their reaction to a light sprinkle of rain, but I invited them to join us on the porch where it was dry. In the ensuing conversation, I inquired about their home country as they were clearly of foreign descent. They were thrilled to know I had visited their hometown in South Asia. When the sky grew darker and rain picked up, I drove them home, along the way learning more about their background and their faith. It's tempting to stay within the circle of those we already know. It's easier to talk with people just like us, but those are not the only people we encounter on a daily basis. We should enjoy encountering people who are different from us because everyone is made in the image of God.” It's tempting to stay within the circle of those we already know. It's easier to talk with people just like us, but those are not the only people we encounter on a daily basis. We should enjoy encountering people who are different from us because everyone is made in the image of God. Christ died for all, and we should embrace the privilege and opportunity to introduce them to Jesus.

Lazy summer days were interrupted when my father announced to my brothers and me that our house needed a fresh coat of paint, and we would be the ones to meet that need. He had come home on a lunchbreak with several buckets of paint, three brushes, and a roller. Since our house was old and we were painting outside, his painting lesson lasted about fifteen minutes before he left again for work. We managed, over the next week, to cover every inch of the exterior—and plenty of grass and sidewalk—with paint. A few years later, I signed on with the custodian of our church who was making extra money as a painter in the evenings. He was a skilled painter. The skills he passed along to me were significantly more advanced than dad's tutorial. In fact, my mentor eventually handed me his business. Keeping it in the family, I recruited my old painting partners, my brothers, and we literally “painted the town,” that is, many of the houses and buildings in the small town we called home. No matter how confident we become in ministry and sharing the gospel, we must always maintain a dependence on Him through prayer.” As we learn a new skill, we get progressively more self-reliant the more we hone that skill. That's a good thing in every area but one: we should never lose our dependence on God in any area of our lives. No matter how confident we become in ministry and sharing the gospel, we must always maintain a dependence on Him through prayer. Jesus's followers model that for us in Acts 4.

There are moments in life that stop us cold and force us to ask a question we would rather not face: am I actually living, or am I simply going through the motions? It might be a diagnosis, a loss, a season of grief, or just the quiet accumulation of days spent on autopilot — but something in us recognizes that we were made for more than this. The days are passing. And we sense, somewhere deep down, that we are not fully showing up for them. Ephesians 5:15-16 cuts straight to the heart of it: make the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. The world is already working hard to fill our hours with what is trivial and distracting, pulling our attention away from what is eternal and meaningful. But as children of the light, we have been called to a different way of living — one that looks for God in the ordinary moments, reaches toward the people around us who are hurting, and refuses to let sorrow or comfort or busyness swallow up the time we have been given. Life is too short for joyless routine and too precious for bitterness. Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord — and that truth, fully received, has the power to turn any ordinary day into an act of worship. Seize it. Interested in creating something new with us!? Take Our Newsletter Survey! Today's Bible Verse "Be very careful, then, how you live — not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." — Ephesians 5:15-16 Ponder Today Seizing the day is not about doing more — it is about living with intentionality and purpose, keeping our eyes open to the opportunities God places in front of us each ordinary day. Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord — that foundational truth has the power to free us from the paralysis of fear and restore meaning to every moment we have been given. The sinful world is constantly working to divert our attention toward the trivial — choosing to live as children of the light requires a daily, deliberate decision to keep our focus on what is eternal. Seizing the day often looks less like grand adventures and more like small acts of faithful love — showing up for a struggling friend, extending grace in a difficult conversation, helping someone who has no way to repay us. A life lived for God, loving others and obeying His Word, is a life full of purpose and meaning — the emptiness we feel is often a signal that we have been living for something too small. Today's Prayer Dear God, I often feel as though I am wasting the days You have given me — distracted by things that draw my attention away from You and from what truly matters. As a child of light, I want to live, obey, and serve You with complete devotion. Give my life purpose and meaning. Soften my heart toward those who are struggling, and fill me with conviction when I am tempted to live for myself. Teach me to number my days and to hold them with open hands, knowing that my life is in Yours. Help me to faithfully serve You all my days, and ensure the workings of my life are in alignment with Your will. Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer?

We are familiar with the cynical expression: “No good deed goes unpunished.” That is not a biblical statement, but good deeds do occasionally get us into hot water. Trying to fly home from Nigeria with a volunteer team, our luggage was being inspected by military personnel in the airport for anything we might have purchased in the country that they deemed “taxable.” While our missionary work wasn't illegal in that country, we weren't trying to advertise why we were there. One of the officers, however, was quick to discern the purpose of our visit. She talked openly about her love for the Lord and invited our team members into her line where she began to expedite the inspection. Her superior, displeased by her actions, offered her a stern rebuke. Recognizing that I was the group leader, he then confronted me, requesting my passport. Upon handing it over, I was shocked to watch him place it in his pocket and walk away. We are familiar with the cynical expression: “No good deed goes unpunished.” …That is not a biblical statement, but good deeds do occasionally get us into hot water. In Acts 4, Peter and John did a good deed that drew attention to Jesus Christ, and that got them in hot water with the religious leaders who opposed them.

On a train in the bowels of the busiest airport in the world, I noticed an elderly woman trying frantically to communicate with the passengers around her. She was showing her boarding pass to anyone who would look, but they were unable to understand her Spanish and she, their English. Unfortunately, most of what little Spanish I once knew I've long since forgotten. But I know a lot about airports, so I intervened. The Atlanta airport has 192 gates spread across 7 concourses in 2 terminals. That's 192 opportunities to fly somewhere, but only one flight would take her from Lima to Louisville. My immediate challenge was how to convince her not to get off at any of the next three train stops, then hope she would trust me enough to get off at the fourth one and follow along with me to Gate B11! Our world abounds with religions and spokespersons telling us their version of how to know God and how to get where everyone wants to go—heaven. But there is only one way to know God and only one way to heaven.” Our world abounds with religions and spokespersons telling us their version of how to know God and how to get where everyone wants to go—heaven. But there is only one way to know God and only one way to heaven. Just as only one gate would take that lost traveler from Atlanta to Louisville, the death and resurrection of Christ alone opened the way for us to come to God. Having come to see the truth about Christ and the gospel, Peter and John wanted others to know the truth of salvation through Christ alone.

I've had the privilege of teaching five different people how to drive a car, including my wife, three of my children, and a missionary kid who grew up overseas where she didn't have the opportunity to practice. One of the most stressful moments for a driver-in-training is the first venture through a busy intersection. There's so much to see! And the risk of an accident is always elevated with so many vehicles stopping, starting, and turning. One of the keys to navigating an intersection safely is awareness. A good driver is always aware of the other vehicles. Busy intersections also exist in life. On most days, we intersect with other people. But do we take the time to notice them? If a good driver lacks awareness they end up stressed and might even cause harm to others. The intersections of life are no different. God puts us on the pathway of life to impact and influence the lives of others along our journey. Making an impact on others requires us to see them, hear them, and seek to connect with them. Intersections are opportunities. Opportunities begin with awareness.” Intersections are opportunities. Opportunities begin with awareness. What does that look like? Peter and John will show us.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 21st of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Proverbs 27:1: ”Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring forth.” Then we go straight to the Gospel of Luke 12:19. This is a parable that Jesus told about a foolish farmer who had a bumper crop and was bragging about how he was going to build another barn to hold his crop and then he was going to eat, drink and be merry. Listen to the story: ”And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease (take it easy); eat, drink, and be merry.” But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?' Luke 12:19-20Carpe Diem - that is a Latin phrase. It means “seize the day”, make the most of the present. I read a beautiful little quotation from a man of God. It says, ”The only preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.” Think about that. We need to start living for today and stop always talking about tomorrow because we don't have tomorrow, we only have today.I had a very dear friend, he used to farm right next door to me and early in the morning we would stop our pickups, get out and we'd have a little chat across the fence, and Alan used to say to me, “Angus, take time out to smell the roses”, and it brings a tear to my eye. Alan was a huge man, and he met Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. Alan is no longer with us, he has already gone home to be with the Lord, but he used to caution me, ”Stop running around so much Angus. You're flying off here, you're going off to that place, you're going there. Take time out to smell the roses and do it with your wife.”I want to say to the men today, when was the last time you smelled the roses with your dear wife? Take note, because tomorrow is not ours, we only have today. Seize the day! Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

Seize the day that God has given you, and use it for the glory of His Kingdom! Death is certain to come to us all; but in the meantime, life is a gift from the Lord. He has given us good gifts, and He wants us to take them with an open hand. We can live joyfully with our spouse, and we can enjoy the work that God has given us to do. And even when disastrous things happen to us, we know that these things are not accidents. Our life is in the Lord's hands, and we can trust Him. Seize the day for Jesus Christ, and live with the full knowledge and assurance that you can trust Him with your life.

In this timely message, Pastor Andrew Coleman examines the sons of Issachar from 1 Chronicles 12:32—men who "had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do." Drawing from their example of spiritual discernment and practical wisdom, this sermon explores how believers today can perceive the political, social, and spiritual currents of our moment and respond with godly insight. From understanding our cultural moment to seizing opportunities with biblical wisdom, Pastor Coleman connects the ancient example of Issachar's leaders to Paul's exhortation in Ephesians 5:15-16 to walk wisely and make the best use of our time. This Christ and Culture message challenges believers to move beyond mere observation to Kingdom-minded action, equipped with spiritual discernment and grounded in God's Word.The sermon is followed by a panel discussion about the cultural moment surrounding Charlie Kirk's assassination. Panelists include Pastor Andrew Coleman, Pastor Ruben Hernandez, and Brandon McGuire @Daily_Dose_Of_Wisdom Scripture references: 1 Chronicles 12:32, Ephesians 5:15-16, Ephesians 6:10-20, John 12:24-26 #charliekirk #turningpointusa #theology #culture ________________________________________ Links to Sermon Notes & Answers: ➤Sermon Notes (Blank): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_8fe82b47cdac42fdabf53e906e24e60b.pdf ➤Sermon Notes (Answers): https://www.sheridanhills.org/_files/ugd/30fec2_d64f7f310de740febfe0aba0f9b33e25.pdf ________________________________________ Subscribe to this channel to catch weekly expositional sermons from the Bible. ________________________________________ Explore more sermons and information: https://www.sheridanhills.org/watch-new ________________________________________ Follow us: ➤Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sheridanhills/ ➤Twitter: https://twitter.com/sheridanhills01 ➤Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheridanhills/
Summary of Patricia A. Hudson's message “Seize the Day: Not What If, Choose What Now, What Next” Introduction and Context Patricia opened by explaining how the message arose from her reflections after retiring in May 2022, following 42 years as a classroom teacher. She described the sadness, uncertainty, and self-doubt that came with leaving a meaningful career—wondering if she had done enough, questioning paths not taken (such as becoming an administrator), and missing the validation that came with being a master teacher. Through prayer, journaling, and devotion, she received the phrase: “Not what if, what now, what next.” This became her guiding principle for moving forward with peace, purpose, and renewed focus. Theme: Moving Beyond “What If” “What if” thinking reflects regret and focuses on missed opportunities or untaken paths. It breeds doubt and prevents progress. Patricia realized she could not dwell on the past but instead needed to embrace the present (what now) and prepare for the future (what next). She reframed her life's work: mentoring students, training teachers, and serving in Christian education as a completed season of calling that now prepares her for the next chapter. Honoring Her Pastor Patricia honored Dr. Bryan Hudson, her husband and pastor, highlighting the grace and dedication of pastors who faithfully teach and lead while balancing life's responsibilities. She credited his consistent teaching of God's Word as foundational for her spiritual growth and for her ability to stand and minister. Seize the Day: Biblical & Practical Insights Patricia unpacked the phrase “Seize the Day” (Carpe Diem): To take opportunity eagerly and decisively. To embrace the present moment instead of postponing or worrying about tomorrow. She identified four keys to cultivating a seize-the-day mindset: Focus on the present instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. Take action on opportunities today. Prioritize purposeful living aligned with God's calling. Embrace new experiences that bring fulfillment. Scripture emphasized these truths: Psalm 118:24 – “This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Lamentations 3:22–23 – God's mercies are new every morning. Matthew 6:31–34 – Do not worry about tomorrow; focus on God's provision today. Using the Past Without Being Trapped by It Patricia explained that the past can serve two healthy purposes: Informing us of God's faithfulness. Correcting our thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. She shared a humorous and nostalgic family story about “Lucky,” their childhood dog, showing how past experiences can also provide joy, bonding, and spiritual insight about God's fatherly love. But she warned against allowing negative past experiences to dominate, creating regret and emotional “drama.” Forgiveness and God's wisdom are essential to move forward into peace and purpose. Biblical Case Studies Patricia drew on two biblical examples: Joseph (Genesis 37–50): Betrayed by brothers, sold into slavery, and imprisoned, yet he shifted from “what if” to “what now, what next”. His resilience positioned him to save nations during famine. Paul (New Testament letters): Imprisoned for preaching the gospel, Paul didn't dwell on “what if” but wrote letters that continue to strengthen believers today. Both men turned adversity into purposeful action, modeling how God works through despair to fulfill divine purpose. Application: Choosing What Now and What Next What Now: Live fully in the present, trusting God's provision for today. What Next: Plan for the future, but rest in God's guidance (Proverbs 3:5–6, Isaiah 30:21). God knows each twist and turn; His mercy and wisdom equip us daily. Seizing the day includes balance: purposeful living, joy, play, rest, and even celebration. Closing Exhortation Patricia concluded with encouragement: “Give today. Love today. Rejoice today.” Life is purposeful but also joyful—embrace both responsibility and enjoyment. Trust God's faithfulness, walk in His direction, and share His goodness with others. She ended with a prayer of thanksgiving, urging listeners to reject the paralysis of “what if,” and instead embrace the freedom of “what now, what next.” Core Message in One Sentence: Don't be trapped by regrets of the past or anxieties about the future—seize today with gratitude, live purposefully in the present, and trust God for what comes next.

Collective action can take many forms – cooperatives, for example. But for the millions of youth engaged in agrifood systems, sometimes Instagram or TikTok is more effective.Of the 1.3 billion people aged 15 to 24, 44 per cent rely on agrifood systems for employment. But their unique challenges are not always represented, and their voices are not always heard. This is why collective action is so important. A recent report on youth in agrifood systems went further than just encouraging collective action – it actually consulted youth stakeholders in the editing of the report, as Lauren Phillips, a deputy director at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), told UN News's Naima Sawaya – as the UN's top political forum on sustainable development continues.
Have you had the experience where you have more time in your past than you do in your future? If you have, you are not alone. Join us for a discussion with our resident singer/songwriter Mike Ward in a discussion about time and help us celebrate the release of his 6th album, The Time That Remains. In his song "How Are You Today?" Mike wrestles with the things we may ask ourselves as our lives go rushing past. Are we going to make a little mark, then disappear? When we had more life, why didn't we live more? This is one of many songs where he takes an introspective look with respect to humanity and time - let his words encourage you to seize the day!#singersongwriter #deeplyrics #songsaboutlife #loveoneanother #soulsearching #carpediem #seizetheday #everydayisagift #treasurethemoments #whynot #timeslipsaway #psychosongsIn this Episode:01:44 - North Carolina and Blueberry Sonker Recipe05:37 - Interview with Mike Ward about The Time That Remains43:37 - "What Prayer" - Song by Mike Ward46:47 - OutroSupport the showGet show notes and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

Tonight we take a moment to reflect, remember and honor some musicians that left us too early. Recently I learned of Christine Havrilla's passing after a battle with cancer. And I was struck by this news and the fact that she was on my list to reach out to about possibly coming on this show. I was saddened that I had not done that sooner and now missed the opportunity.And I remembered others who also left us too soon who I wished I had the chance to speak to. Some who passed years before I had a show like Ted Hawkins or Josh Clayton-Felt of School of Fish; and others who more recently like Justin Townes Earle and Karl Wallinger of World Party.Each of these brilliant musicians leaves their legacy for us to still listen to and enjoy, and in fact could become your next favorite band.Music in this episode:"The Good and The Bad" by Ted Hawkins"3 Strange Days" by School of Fish"The Good Life" by Justin Townes Earle"Way Down Now" by World Party"Fortune Teller" by Christine Havrilla & Gypsy FuzzI've decided to still try to dedicate an episode to share the stories and the music of these artists and I've started research to see if there are people connected to them and can help us put it out there. If you're able to help contribute or introduce us to someone who can, please let us know.Hope you like this episode, and remember to seize the moment.Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

"Do not be afraid of your fears, but cope with them—learn how to deal with them—because unless you do, you cannot live your life abundantly and fully." (Fyodor Raychynets)Evoking courage, resilience, and faith in the face of overwhelming uncertainty, Ukrainian pastor and theologian Fyodor Raychynets returns to For the Life of the World three years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In conversation with Evan Rosa, Fyodor shares his reflections on fear, freedom, and the emotional and spiritual challenges of living fully in a time of war. He discusses his response to recent global political developments, the struggle of holding onto hope, and the importance of confronting fear rather than suppressing it. Drawing from the Gospel of Mark's iteration of Jesus walking on water, his own personal grief and therapy, and the lived experience of war, Fyodor sees fear not as something to be avoided or gotten rid of, but as something to understand and face with courage."We are in a situation where we are scared to hope.""Do not be afraid of your fears, but cope with them—learn how to deal with them—because unless you do, you cannot live your life abundantly and fully.""If I want to say to someone, ‘I love you,' I say it. If I want to forgive, I forgive. If I want to do something meaningful, I do it now—because tomorrow is never guaranteed.""The enemy wants us to live in fear, to be paralyzed by it. But to live fully is to resist.""When Jesus scared his disciples on the water, he was bringing their fears to the surface—so that they could face them and find true freedom."Show NotesImage: “Walking on Water”, by Ivan Aivazovsky, Russia, 1888Episode SummaryUkrainian pastor and theologian Fyodor Raychynets reflects on faith, fear, and hope after three years of war.The role of fear in spiritual and personal transformation.A biblical perspective on confronting fear, drawn from the Gospel of Mark.Political and emotional reactions to recent global events impacting Ukraine.Living fully in the present as an act of resistance against fear and oppression.Faith, Fear, and FreedomFyodor Raychynets returns to discuss Ukraine's ongoing struggle and his evolving faith."Fear to hope"—the challenge of holding onto hope when the world is falling apart.Why fear should be faced rather than suppressed.The spiritual wisdom of encountering fear: “When Jesus scared his disciples, it was for their good.”The difference between being reckless, cowardly, or courageous—all of which share the common state of fear.The Ukrainian Perspective on Global PoliticsHow Ukraine perceives the shifting stance of U.S. foreign policy.The impact of Zelenskyy's visit to the Oval Office and international reactions.The challenge of fighting for democracy when global powers redefine the terms of war.The fear that democratic values are no longer upheld by those who once championed them.Biblical and Psychological Perspectives on FearMark's Gospel and the fear of encountering God in unexpected ways.Fyodor quotes Carl Jung: "Where our fears lie, that is where change is most needed."Facing fear as a practice of faith and emotional resilience.The importance of naming fears, localizing them, and even “inviting them in for tea.”How unprocessed fear can lead to paralysis or aggression.Living in the Present: The Antidote to FearWhy Fyodor refuses to postpone life until after the war."We don't know what tomorrow brings. So I live today, fully."A powerful response to fear: doing good, loving openly, and forgiving freely.The lesson of war: never get used to abnormal things.Holding onto humanity in the face of devastation.Linked Media ReferencesMark 6L: 45-52 Jesus Walks on WaterEpisode 110 of For the Life of the World A Voice from KyivEpisode 138 of For the Life of the World / Ukrainian Pastor Speaks Out: Resist Evil, Be Present, and Remember How Little You ControlUkraine War Updates - BBC NewsAbout Fyodor RaychynetsFyodor Raychynets is a theologian and pastor in Kyiv, Ukraine.
