Faith-based content creator, Callie Baker, talks about courage, authenticity, and what it really means to stand for truth online.Callie shares how a spiritual prompting at the gym pushed her to start creating content defending her faith, even though she wrestled with fear, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome for months before posting. We dive into the reality of those struggles—how the adversary often uses insecurity to hold us back—and the power that comes from pushing forward anyway.Together, we explore the tension between openly sharing your beliefs and maintaining relationships with family or friends who may not agree, how to handle backlash and negativity, and the role of prayer and inspiration in creating uplifting messages. Callie also opens up about her desire to reach women in their 20s and 30s, helping them find identity, balance, and purpose in a world full of competing voices.This episode is a powerful reminder that authenticity and faith can break down barriers, and that one person's willingness to act can inspire countless others. If you've ever felt prompted to share your beliefs but hesitated out of fear, Callie's story will encourage you to step forward with courage, knowing your voice matters.✨ New episodes every two weeks!

In this inaugural episode of the new series "Kingdom Now," Pastor Karl introduces an in-depth journey through the Gospel of Matthew. Titled after Jesus's prayer in Matthew 6, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," this series explores the unique perspective of Matthew's Gospel, emphasizing the kingdom of God in an upside-down way that challenges expectations. Pastor Karl sets the stage by providing background on the four Gospels, highlighting Matthew's distinct focus on Jesus as the royal Messiah from the line of David, written specifically for a Jewish audience. He delves into Matthew's identity as a former tax collector, illustrating how Jesus transformed his life, changing his identity and direction. Through Matthew's story, Pastor Karl introduces the discipleship process of "belong, become, give, and go," encouraging listeners to reflect on their own spiritual journey. The episode focuses on Matthew 1:1-17, exploring Jesus's genealogy and its purposeful inclusion of unexpected figures, reinforcing the message that when God writes the story, nothing is a mistake.

"We didn't get that miracle that we really desperately pleaded for, but I feel like I have a stronger testimony of miracles than I ever have, even though it wasn't the one that I wanted. I don't know the answers of why she didn't get to live the rest of her life and why she isn't here with us and why am I still here? It's like such a strange, backward feeling that you have a child that's no longer here and then I feel like she is--this is still her story, because she's impacting people as well and she's still a part of it. It's still her story. And so that really motivates me to share the gospel and to share our experience."00:00 A Surreal Morning04:24 Struggles as a Teen14:24 COVID, Faith Challenges, and Loss24:56 Miracles, Angels, and Priesthood26:14 Community Support and Ministering35:24 Sharing Faith and Social Media40:29 Grief and Finding CommunitySeptember 5th & 6th COME BACK TO CHRIST EVENT Tickets can be purchased at: https://www.comebackpodcast.org/come-back-to-christ-event-september-5-6-utah-valley-convention-center-provo-ut-3/Come Back to Christ Event Sponsors:https://templeboundsaints.org/https://www.dfcu.com/https://followhim.co/https://www.latterdaymatchmaker.com/https://www.matthewbraidleypianos.com/https://mikesautoshack.com/https://www.droneshow.com/Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/If you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

Broadcasting from the vibrant city of San Antonio, Texas, Clint shares insights inspired by a podcast featuring Tom Doyle, an evangelist dedicated to reaching Muslims through acts of service and the Gospel. Listeners will hear powerful stories of how Jesus is revealing Himself to Muslims both abroad and in the United States. Through captivating audio clips, Clint highlights Tom's experiences, including a striking account of a man who, during a pilgrimage to Mecca, encounters a vision of Jesus urging him to follow a different path. This narrative sets the stage for a discussion about the significance of these divine encounters and the transformative power of faith. As the episode unfolds, Clint reflects on his own hesitations and the importance of being receptive to God's calling. He emphasizes the need to be prepared and attentive to the opportunities God places in our lives, even in seemingly mundane situations—like a gas station encounter that leads to a profound spiritual conversation. With biblical references to the prophetic words of Joel, Clint encourages listeners to recognize the signs of the times and to be ready to share the Gospel with those whose hearts are being primed by God. This episode serves as a reminder that God is actively working in the lives of individuals across the globe, and it challenges us to step out in faith, engage in meaningful conversations, and share the love of Jesus with those who may be seeking answers. Join Clint for this enlightening discussion that blends personal testimony with scriptural wisdom, and discover how to navigate the call to reach out to others with compassion and confidence.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Karl delves into the final words of the Apostle Paul from 2 Timothy 4, as he faces imminent death in a Roman prison. Reflecting on a life fully devoted to Christ, Paul charges Timothy—and all believers—to guard sound doctrine and guide others to it, even in a world that increasingly rejects truth. Pastor Karl unpacks Paul's call to "preach the word" with urgency, reprove and correct with patience, and do the work of an evangelist, sharing the good news of Jesus. He emphasizes living with no reserve, no retreat, and no regret, fighting the good fight, finishing the race, and keeping the faith. Through vivid imagery and personal anecdotes, Pastor Karl challenges listeners to embrace their God-given purpose, forgive as Christ forgave, and live a life that counts for the Kingdom, no matter the cost.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

We can learn a lot about the nature of God from his Divine Name revealed in Scripture. When God said to Moses, “I am who I am,” this was a revelation of a name as well as a refusal of a name. Fr. Mike explains how this mystery reveals truths about God: he is infinitely above all things; we cannot comprehend him, yet he draws close to us. This Divine Name expresses the steadfast, faithful, unchanging love of God for his people, even when we betray and abandon him. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 205-211.

In this episode, we discuss the nature of God, “who” God is, beginning with God the Father. Our reading explains how the Creed begins with God the Father because he is the first Divine Person of the most Holy Trinity. God is one Divine Being made up of three persons, and his identity is a deep mystery. Fr. Mike explains that God is a single ‘what' made up of three ‘who's.' Despite this mystery, God is not an anonymous force. He has revealed himself to us by making his name known to us, and he has thus made himself accessible.

The Catechism we are reading follows the structure of the Apostles' Creed with frequent references to the Nicene Creed for further details and explanations. Together, these Creeds aid us in articulating the beliefs we share with all members of the Catholic Church. Fr. Mike discusses why St. Ambrose refers to the Creed as “an ever-present guardian” and “treasure of our soul.” He encourages us not to take this gift for granted.

Today we further realize the sense of the word “credo,” meaning “I believe.” As we read the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed, we discover the differences between the two and come to understand how the Nicene Creed, which came centuries later, expands upon and explains the beliefs of the Apostles' Creed. Fr. Mike tells us that these Creeds help us to share the essential elements of Catholicism, acting as “symbols of faith,” and encouraging communion between believers.

In this episode of the No Regrets Podcast, Steve Sonderman and Greg Stier dive into practical ways to introduce Jesus into everyday conversations. How can you take a casual chat about sports and turn it into a meaningful dialogue about faith? Greg shares tools, resources, and encouragement for having gospel-centered conversations that inspire and equip others to follow Christ. Greg emphasizes the importance of being trained, equipped, and mobilized to share the gospel with the next generation. With 80% of people coming to Christ before the age of 18, Greg and Steve discuss how to effectively reach students and disciple them to reach others. They provide insights into evangelism, including how to engage in conversations with grace: ask questions, admire others, admit your own need for Jesus, and share your story. Instead of presenting a rehearsed speech, they encourage listeners to have genuine, gospel-focused conversations. Greg also highlights free curriculum and resources for youth pastors, parents, and grandparents, including the Dare 2 Share website and the Life in 6 Words app. These tools offer practical ways to teach small groups to share the gospel and carve out time for prayer, care, and sharing Christ with others. Greg will be speaking at the upcoming No Regrets Conference, giving two impactful talks: "How to Live Radically Like Christ" and "How to Navigate a Gospel Conversation."
