AI isn't just changing technology, it's changing how you approach intimacy.WATCH NEXT ➡︎ https://youtu.be/YoIHF4Ks65QWhat happens when the porn industry no longer needs human bodies? When desire is shaped by pixels instead of people? And when the first sexual experience for a generation might be with something that isn't even real?In this episode, we're tackling one of the most dangerous trends quietly taking over: AI-generated pornography.We'll cover:Why AI porn is not the “ethical” alternative it claims to beHow deepfakes and generative AI are rewiring sexual desireThe lie behind “it's better than sinning with a real person”Whether AI porn trains us to fear real intimacyWho, or what, you're actually worshiping when you engage with itWhat true sexual healing looks like in a world of artificial connectionIf you've ever wondered, “Is AI porn really that bad?” or “Does it even matter if no one's getting hurt?” this conversation is for you.You're being trained by what you're entertained by. Let's talk about what that means. 

True peace in our homes begins with the choice of whom we serve and what we believe. As Christine F. Perry reflects in today's prayer, our beliefs shape our behavior—whether that’s striving to earn love, chasing wealth, or living for earthly rewards. When we choose our own way over God’s, chaos, fear, and anxiety often follow. But when we surrender authority and headship to the Lord, we invite His peace to reign in our hearts and our homes. Drawing from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis, Christine reminds us that God designed us to “run on Himself” — there is no true happiness or peace apart from Him. Today, we are called to make the intentional choice to serve the Lord, letting His presence shape our relationships, attitudes, and daily life. Today's Bible Verse:

God is a great Rabbi—answering a question with another question. His ‘answer’ to His people’s question about how He wanted them to serve Him is one of life’s game-changers—especially for every Christian…

On this Wayman Wednesday, hear a classic message from Pastor Wayman Mitchell that will stir your soul and challenge your limits. In “The Challenge to Greatness,” Pastor Mitchell preaches from 1 Kings 4:29–34 on how God enlarged Solomon's heart and gave him supernatural wisdom—not because Solomon wanted fame, but because he wanted to help God's people.This sermon challenges every believer to surrender fully to God's will, embrace self-denial, and believe that God can do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.”Chapters:0:00 - Intro: The Legacy of Wayman Mitchell1:08 - Christianity: Beyond Natural Ability2:32 - Solomon's Heart for God4:15 - What Do You Want from God?6:00 - Serving God or Self?7:40 - Paul's Conversion: “What do You Want Me to Do?”10:00 - Largeness of Heart vs Small-Mindedness11:30 - Submitting to Another Man's Vision13:30 - Prioritizing the Kingdom of God15:00 - Triumphing Over Mediocrity17:00 - Lifelong Self-Education and Growth18:50 - Solomon's Military and Trade Strategy21:10 - People Skills and Pastoral Wisdom22:45 - Solomon's Commerce and the Glory of Israel24:00 - Jabez: Rising Above a Curse25:40 - Aholiab & Bezalel: Empowered by God27:45 - Pastor Mitchell's Testimony: From a Rock Pile to 88,000 sq. ft.31:00 - The Garbage Collectors: Jeff Day, Tom Payne & Louis Polino34:00 - Altar Call: Open Your Heart to God's GreatnessShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

Do you feel like you’re running on empty—striving, pushing, juggling it all—and still feeling stuck? In this heartfelt Christian devotional on Matthew 11:28-30, Hannah Benson invites us to pause, breathe, and fall into the arms of Jesus. Through a personal moment of burnout and breakthrough, she reminds us that true rest isn't found in finishing the to-do list, but in trusting God’s timing and leaning into His presence. If you're craving soul-deep peace, this is your gentle invitation to come as you are—and find the rest your soul longs for. What You’ll Learn (Highlights): What it means to truly rest in Jesus, not just physically—but spiritually and emotionally Why doing things “for God” can never replace simply being with God How trusting God’s plan brings freedom from burnout, anxiety, and overachievement Practical encouragement for letting go of control and leaning into His embrace A reminder that your value isn’t in your productivity—it’s in being His beloved child

After years of discipling Caleb by himself, Mark was dismayed to find out that a church leader had assigned another mentor to the young man. The leader remarked, “Finally, Caleb has a mentor.” What did they think I was doing all these years? Mark wondered. Though he had not expected any reward or recognition, he couldn’t help feeling hurt. Years later, however, Caleb told Mark that he had entered Caleb’s life just when he most needed spiritual guidance. On hearing these encouraging words, Mark came to this realization: God gives believers in Jesus specific gifts to serve Him differently—without comparing with others—and He controls the timing. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-31, Paul stresses the value of members of the body having different gifts, roles, and assignments, while remembering the ultimate source of the results: “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow” (3:6). Each of us may be given a unique season and opportunity to do God’s work. Unlike people, God doesn’t compare our work, for He loves us as individuals. May we keep our eyes and hearts focused on doing our best in the season that God has given us—relying completely on His strength and empowerment—and not worry about what others achieve in their own way and time.

Ninety-nine and a half won't do, we must be sold out! You can't serve God and the adversary the devil and get to Heaven. Many people have deceived themselves and if they don't change they will go to Hell. Stop making excuses!

Candid Catholic Convos 7.6.25     SHOW DESCRIPTION:    Our service members are asked to do and see things that many of us civilians can't even fathom. I will never know the full extent of what my husband saw or did overseas, but I do know that it rocked his faith. So how can we minister to those who are called to sacrifice for the rest of us, who come home with injuries that are sometimes invisible, who no longer see the intersection of faith and patriotism? Today I have the honor of speaking with Father William Barbee, pastor at both St. Joseph and Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Berwick as well as a former army chaplain who served in Germany, Korea, Texas, South Carolina and eventually the Carlisle Barracks. His vast experiences and incredible journey has led him to creating a rich community steeped in the Catholic Faith and military service devotion.

What does it mean to serve God when no one else joins you? In seasons of loneliness, unanswered prayers, or quiet obedience, it can feel like your faithfulness is unnoticed. But what if your steadfast devotion is laying a foundation for something far greater—something eternal?This episode features an inspiring session from the 2025 North Florida Baptist Ladies Conference, where Abigail Medford brings a compelling message on “Serving God Alone.” Drawing a powerful comparison between the stories of Elijah and Elisha and the little-known testimony of Chinese missionary Jeanie Lawson, Abigail reveals how faithfulness—though sometimes unseen—can ripple through generations. Whether you're in a season of standing alone or simply need encouragement to press on, this message will remind you that God sees, God knows, and God uses even our quiet obedience for His glory.Mark your calendars for April 10–11, 2026, and make plans to attend the North Florida Baptist Ladies Conference!

Romans 1:7-15 — The apostle Paul dedicated his ministry to proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and making known the glory of God. This singular focus is made clear as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones preaches “Serving God” from Romans 1:7–15. Paul was not a cultural commentator, nor was he a politician, but he was concerned that what God has done in Jesus Christ be known to all. From this, Dr. Lloyd-Jones argues that the church should imitate Paul with the great doctrines of salvation and of God. Many preachers have lost this focus on biblical truth and use the pulpit as a platform for nothing more than social or political change. He says that this is in contrast to Paul who said that his ministry was to proclaim Christ and Him crucified, not the changing interests of humanity. This is why Paul writes to the Romans, expounding many great teachings, some of which are hard to understand. The church today should not be content to substitute God's word with the mere opinion of people, but they ought to stand firm on the truth of God as given by the Holy Spirit in the writings of the apostles and prophets. For it is only God's word that has the message of salvation.

Christians may do a decent job of attending church, reading the Bible and applying biblical truths to their own lives. But where it gets difficult for Christians is when they go to work on Monday — and their jobs are secular so they're expected to leave God at home. But this is not how God wants us to live. God wants to be part of everything; He wants us to walk with Him 24/7, 365 days a year, wherever we are and whatever we're doing. Serving God is not solely a Sunday thing. Jonathan Isaac, NBA star with the Orlando Magic, shares his new Christian apparel line and how he brings God into a sometimes celebrity-driven, secular world.

The worship of daily obedience is not at bottom a burdensome giving to God, but a joyful getting from God. That is the true service that God demands.

Being a Christian can be hard in the current climate of hostility—where believers worldwide face physical oppression and persecution. In our own culture, the church is labeled archaic and irrelevant in its stance on modern issues. Today we will consider a few reasons for the opposition we face as Christians and how we can face it victoriously.I. Opposition is NormalII. Opposition is VerbalIII. Opposition is ContinualIV. Opposition is ConquerableTalk with God: Ask the Lord for the courage to stand firm in Christ, despite opposition.Talk with others: Encourage a believer or family member who's been struggling this week and remind them that their “labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).Talk with kids: Why did Moses need help leading the people?
