Episode Summary Same-sex attraction can become an intensely lonely battle, especially when shame and fear keep a struggling believer from seeking help. In this concluding episode of the Twisted Passions series, Ryan Swanson shares three listener testimonies that point to dependence on Christ, honest accountability, wise boundaries, and a willingness to let God use a redeemed story. The episode challenges both those seeking victory and those who want to help them: condemnation alone is not enough, pride must give way to humility, and God often provides the right people to help us walk faithfully. Topics Discussed Why Christians must do more than simply preach against homosexuality Biblical identity and the way sin twists desires and emotions Turning to Christ instead of trying to overcome temptation through willpower Confiding in mature, trustworthy believers and seeking accountability Breaking the lonely cycle of pride through humility Choosing wise boundaries instead of making provision for temptation The value of godly mentorship, biblical masculinity, and biblical femininity Moving from fear and shame to a willingness to share Christ's work Using personal testimony to help others pursue victory A forthcoming series on less-discussed biblical passages about purity Key Takeaways Jesus understands temptation and remains the believer's unfailing source of strength. God often uses mature mentors, faithful friends, and accountability partners to help us walk in victory. Humility opens the door to help, while pride keeps spiritual battles hidden and isolated. Wise relationships and prudent boundaries both have a place in resisting temptation. A testimony should magnify what Christ has done rather than keep us imprisoned by shame. Victory is bigger than personal relief; God can use a surrendered life to strengthen others in the same fight.

Serving others is mentioned in a variety of biblical passages. One of them is Galatians 5:13: “Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Ultimately, Jesus is our example. He was serving others non-stop. He washed his disciples' feet. He healed people. He cast out […]

"For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted." — Luke 14:11 Have you ever found yourself striving for recognition, approval, or a place of importance? In this episode of Everyday Joy, Ash is joined by Lydia to unpack Jesus' powerful words in Luke 14:11. Together, they explore what true humility looks like in everyday life, why our value isn't determined by status or recognition, and how we can find confidence in knowing that our worth comes from God alone. Ash and Lydia discuss the challenge of resisting the need to promote ourselves, choosing to serve others without seeking personal honour, and trusting God to determine our place rather than striving to elevate ourselves. It's an encouraging conversation about surrender, humility, and the freedom that comes when we stop chasing significance and rest in who God says we are. If you've ever felt overlooked, struggled with comparison, or found yourself seeking validation from others, this episode is a reminder that God's view of you matters most. As we learn to walk humbly and serve faithfully, we can trust that He sees us, values us, and is working out His purposes in His perfect timing. Choose humility, serve faithfully, and let God do the exalting. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Pastor Brad discusses our spiritual gifts. Starting with where they come from and ending with why we are given them.

What do the happiest people in the world have in common?According to psychotherapist and meditation teacher Bill Belanger, it's probably not what you think.In this episode of the Happier Series, I sit down with Bill to explore what both Western psychology and Buddhist philosophy teach about happiness, suffering, and compassion. Bill is the founder of Healbright and has spent more than twenty years studying meditation and Buddhist psychology, including training in monasteries in Bhutan, Nepal, and Thailand.Together, we explore why so much of our suffering comes from trying to hold onto things that are constantly changing—our children growing up, our parents aging, relationships evolving, and seasons of life coming and going. We also discuss why happiness built on external circumstances can feel so fragile, and how compassion may offer a more reliable path to wellbeing.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why Buddhist psychology views suffering as a normal part of the human experience• The difference between empathy and compassion—and why it matters• How compassion can increase happiness and reduce burnout• Why meditation plateaus are normal and what to do when they happen• A simple compassion practice you can start todayIf you've ever wished you could hold onto a moment forever, or found yourself wondering why happiness can feel so fleeting, this conversation offers a powerful and hopeful perspective on what it means to live well. 

Sometimes the most meaningful ways to serve others appear in the simplest moments of everyday life.Sharing vegetables from the garden, lending a hand with a small project, checking on a neighbor, or offering a few minutes of conversation on the porch can all become quiet acts of kindness that strengthen the connections A simple act of kindness may seem small in the moment, but repeated over time, those acts help create homes and communities where people truly care for one another.Send us Fan MailSupport the showBe Someone's HeroThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

What if the key to a full life isn't found in focusing on yourself—but in serving others? In this Best Moments episode, Ash and Ro explore Titus 3:14 and unpack the biblical call to live a life of service. Together, they discuss why serving isn't just about volunteering at church—it's about carrying the heart of Jesus into our everyday relationships, workplaces, families, and communities. Drawing on Jesus washing His disciples' feet, they reflect on what true humility looks like and how even small acts of kindness can have a powerful impact. Whether it's a phone call, a meal for a friend, or simply noticing someone's need, serving others often changes our hearts just as much as it helps the people around us. The most fulfilling life isn't found in constantly asking, "What do I need?" but in asking, "How can I show the love of Jesus to someone today?" If you've been feeling stretched, stuck, or searching for greater purpose, this conversation is a timely reminder that a life poured out for others is never an empty one. ❤️See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes the tasks that fill our days feel repetitive—washing dishes, folding laundry, pulling weeds in the garden, or fixing something that's broken. Yet many of these ordinary chores are actually quiet acts of service that make life easier and more comfortable for the people around us.In this episode, we explore how everyday responsibilities can take on new meaning when we recognize them as opportunities to care for our homes, families, and communities. When we shift our perspective, even the most routine tasks can become meaningful ways to serve others.If you'd like to go deeper into this month's topic, you can also find the companion workbook in my shop.Send us Fan MailSupport the showBe Someone's HeroThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

The Good Samaritan | Luke 10:30-3530 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,' he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'

May 31, 2026 - Sunday PM Service   This episode captures a youth-led evening service featuring prayers, scripture readings, hymns, and a heartfelt message from a recent high‑school graduate. Guests and participants include closing-prayer leader Corbin, Travis, devotionals from Cooper and Maddox, and several young men leading the service. The program blends announcements, communal worship, and a Gospel-centered talk focused on living out Christlike humility. Worship included classic and contemporary songs—"Jesus Loves Me," "Mansion Over the Hilltop," "God Is So Good," "I'll Fly Away," "Higher Ground," and "You Are Holy"—along with communal prayers and the Lord's Supper. Multiple prayers asked for the sick and shut‑ins, guidance for speakers, and strength for the young leaders as they serve the congregation. Scripture readings were Philippians 2:3–5, Matthew 5:14–16, and Galatians 6:9–10. The central sermon theme examined the phrase “do nothing from selfish ambition,” contrasting worldly ambition with the call to look outward, serve others, and pursue humility. Speakers emphasized that accomplishments fade but lives touched for Christ endure, urged the congregation not to grow weary in doing good, and reminded listeners that the seeds we plant in daily acts of kindness will yield a spiritual harvest. Key takeaways: pursue ambition for Christ rather than recognition, practice quiet acts of service (even when no one is watching), let your light shine so others glorify God, and remain faithful in planting seeds of love and generosity. The episode ends with an invitation to respond to the Gospel, share prayer requests, and a closing encouragement for all listeners—especially young people—to start sowing now and live as visible reflections of God's love.   Duration 28:22

"One gives freely, yet gains even more..." — Proverbs 11:24Just like the tire pressure light on your car's dashboard warns you when a tire is deflating, our spiritual lives show warning signs when we stop pouring out into others. In the final message of our "Dashboard Faith" series, titled "Serving Others," Pastor Rob reveals the essential missing link in our discipleship journey.Many of us want to grow, but we try to do it by only consuming. The truth is, your faith will always hit a ceiling until you start serving. True discipleship requires us to Connect, Grow, and SERVE. Join us as we look at how giving actually stretches our faith, helps us discover our unique purpose, and creates the vital margin we need to make room for God to move.IN THIS MESSAGE:The River of Life: Why "giving is living" and how serving turns the stagnant areas of your life into thriving, fresh water.Finding Your Role: Discovering that church isn't a theater where you watch, but a body where you have a specific ministry to complete.The Margin Equation: Why your spiritual growth is directly tied to the space you leave in your schedule. (Ability – Schedule = Margin!)SERMON NOTES & OUTLINE:I. WE BLESS OTHERSServing stretches our faith. When we hoard our time, talent, and treasure, we become spiritually poor. When we give freely, God expands our capacity.Scripture: Ezekiel 47:9, Luke 6:38, Proverbs 11:24II. WE BECOME THE CHURCHYou have a specific place, purpose, and spiritual gift. Leaders exist to help you find that role, but it is up to you to see to it that you complete the ministry you've received.Scripture: Ephesians 4:11-12, Colossians 4:17, John 17:4III. WE MAKE ROOM FOR GODDo you actually have any room in your life for the Holy Spirit? If your schedule matches your maximum ability, you have zero margin for a miracle. To let God increase, we must decrease.Scripture: Ephesians 5:18, John 3:30, 2 Kings 3 & 4OUR DISCIPLESHIP BLUEPRINT:To get to the other side of your faith, you cannot skip steps.

As we enter this new lunar cycle, it is an opportunity to honor any delays with a deeper awareness that this is divine timing. Coupled with a willingness to sync up with our true organic nature of spiraling out and adhering with the natural cycels that surround you where you are currently living. SIMPLY put. Throw out the bankers calender for the majority of your day to day living. Start syncing up to your relationship with your ecosystem internally and externally.During this lunar cycle we are being given an opportunity to take a detour with wonderment and awareness. Then, when you have deep knowing you will be ready to transfer your highest and best in every moment for the benefit of all.

Inspired by the kindness she once received from others, Quiana Sterling, office assistant at Virtua Primary Care – Moorestown at Young Avenue, is passionate about giving back. Through the Black and African American Colleague Community, Quiana volunteers at Cathedral Kitchen, as well as the Volunteers of America and her local library. One experience that stayed with her was sitting and talking with a man at Cathedral Kitchen who told her no one had spoken to him in a long time — a reminder that sometimes the gift of time can mean the most. When asked how others can begin volunteering, Quiana's response was simple: "Just do it. And you'll find yourself more fulfilled."

This is message 42 in Gospel Record of John John 13:4-20 True discipleship is marked by a heart that has been cleansed by Christ and continues to walk in daily dependence on Him, allowing His Word to remove the defilement of this world while reflecting His humility through service to others. The Lord, though possessing all authority, chose the lowest place to teach that real greatness is found in serving, not being served, and that obedience to His truth must move beyond knowledge into action. Even in the face of betrayal and unfolding events, He reveals that everything is under divine control, calling His followers to trust His Word, walk in purity, and live out a life that reflects His character.

What if the reason you feel disconnected, frustrated, or overlooked… isn't because you're doing too little—but because everything is centered on you?We live in a culture that teaches us to measure everything by ROI—What do I get out of this?But Jesus introduces a completely different way to live… The King's Way.In John 13, Jesus does something shocking:He washes His disciples' feet—taking the position of a servant, not a king.Why?Because serving was never meant to be transactional… it was meant to be transformational.

In this week's message at The Mountain Church, Samuel Goulet walks us through what the Bible says about the gifts of the Holy Spirit and why they matter for our church family. He reminds us that gifts are a grace from God—not something we earn—and they're given “for the common good,” to build others up, not to elevate ourselves. From wisdom and faith to healing, prophecy, discernment, and tongues, Samuel encourages us to stay rooted in Scripture, let love guide every gift, and keep our identity grounded in Jesus. The invitation is simple: let's step off the sidelines, use what God has given us, and grow into a healthy, united church that strengthens one another and brings Jesus to our city.

Listen to this week's sermon, Parables In Practice preached by Pastor Kenneth Dyches from Luke 14:1, 7-14.

Discover one of the great leadership paradoxes: the surprising growth that comes from serving others. In this week's episode, John Maxwell teaches how putting others first unlocks unexpected personal development and deeper self-understanding.  After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Robinson dive into real-world ways to apply these transformative insights, offering strategies to help you lead with greater impact starting today. Key takeaways:  When leaders intentionally serve others, they gain profound insights about their own motives, abilities, and growth areas.  True leadership begins when you shift from seeking followers for your vision to helping others achieve their own potential.  Valuing and serving your team transforms relationships, elevates teamwork, and empowers everyone to reach greater heights together.
