One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, friends! Today's episode is a dive into the rich and transformative pages of Scripture on this 14th day of January. I'm your host, Hunter, and together, we'll read through the Bible in a year, experiencing the life-changing love of Jesus. We'll start our day's journey in Genesis 34-36, where we'll explore the intense stories of Jacob, his daughter Dinah, and the unfolding of his family's complex dynamics. Then, we'll move into the New Testament with Luke 14, reflecting on Jesus' powerful teachings about humility, discipleship, and the Kingdom of God. In addition, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your prayers during my family's recent trials and share our gratitude for the healing we've experienced. Join me in prayer and reflection as we seek to understand and embody God's word in our lives. Let's journey together, finding strength in God's joy and remembering that we are deeply loved. Tune in, and let's embrace the transformative power of Scripture. You don't want to miss this compelling episode! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Our arrogance and pride will inevitably put us at the head of the table, and putting ourselves at the head of the table will inevitably lead to our humiliation and our ruin. That's what this Pharisee and these teachings in Luke 14 point out. And inevitably, when we make this life about us, we miss out altogether on the party that God has prepared. That's what it seems to tell us here in this parable of the banquet. There's nothing wrong with having land or oxen, having a wife. There's nothing bad about these things. These are blessings. These are and can be very good. But when they become ultimate things, they blind us to the gift that God is offering us because they become idols, and idols inevitably blind us. They fool us into thinking that we are the main character in this movie, that this life is my project. It's my story. We imagine that we sit at the head of the table in our own movie. Our spouse, our parents, our children, they are the supporting cast. We can begin to think that maybe it's all about us, and this posture in life will lead to a rude awakening someday. That's why Jesus says that we have to hate all of it in comparison to our love for God. Because in the end, it will rob us of life. And the prayer of my own heart today is that I will see the richness and the reward, the party that has been prepared for those who receive and participate, who repent and believe that every good and perfect gift comes down from God the Father of lights, that he is the source, and that every human being, no matter how humble they might be, have been invited into his very life. The prayer of my soul is that I will sit there at the foot of the table with great joy at the life that I have in him. That I will learn the ways of self-giving love and follow him. That's a prayer that I have for my family too, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

In this episode of the Expositors Collective, Dan Hamel offers valuable insights into homiletics and the art of preaching. Recorded at The Creek, Indianapolis this discussion highlights Dan's thoughtful approach to sermon preparation, delivery, and connecting with audiences in meaningful ways. Dan begins by reflecting on the nature of preaching as an art form, drawing inspiration from a visit to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He recounts how a guide's explanation of Van Gogh's Cypress and Wheat Fields transformed his appreciation of the painting by revealing its depth and context. He compares this experience to the preacher's role: to bring the richness and transformative power of Scripture to life for the congregation. Throughout the episode, Dan provides practical guidance for effective preaching: Identify the Primary Point: Distill the central message of the passage into a clear, memorable statement that serves as the foundation of the sermon. Align Structure with the Text: Wherever possible, let the sermon's structure reflect the natural flow of the passage, ensuring that the message remains rooted in Scripture. Preach to the Ache: Address the struggles, questions, or longings your audience is experiencing, demonstrating how the passage speaks to those real-life concerns. Preach with Authority: Recognise that God works through the proclamation of His Word, giving preachers the confidence to deliver the message with clarity and conviction. Preach for Conversations: Create sermons that naturally encourage further dialogue, whether in small groups or personal discussions. Dan emphasises the importance of preparing with the congregation in mind, including those who may not yet be believers. He urges preachers to craft sermons that are both accessible and impactful, meeting the spiritual needs of diverse audiences. This episode is filled with practical advice, thoughtful examples, and an infectious passion for the sacred calling of preaching. Whether you are a seasoned preacher or just beginning your journey, Dan's insights will equip you to proclaim God's Word with faithfulness, precision, and relevance. About Dan Hamel Dan Hamel serves as the lead pastor at The Creek in Indianapolis, Indiana. Born and raised in the western United States—Oregon, Nevada, and Colorado—Dan sensed God's call to ministry as a teenager and has followed that calling ever since. A graduate of Ozark Christian College, he is passionate about preaching, discipleship, and helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus. Since joining The Creek in 2017, Dan has been inspired by the church's passion for God's presence and its commitment to transforming the local community with the love of Jesus. Serving as a pastor brings him great joy, whether he's praying, teaching God's Word, or connecting with people in meaningful ways.

“The Good News is still good news.” “I'm very pro-democracy, and yet democracy has never been the necessary prerequisite for the good news of Jesus Christ to flourish. …  The good news of Jesus Christ doesn't win and doesn't lose based on a political party winning or losing.” (Walter Kim, from this episode) How does evangelicalism relate to the dominant political powers of our world? In this episode Mark Labberton welcomes Walter Kim to Conversing. As the president of the National Association of Evangelicals and host of the Difficult Conversations podcast, Walter holds on to deep Christian orthodoxy alongside the most vigorous and necessary intellectual, personal, ethical, and theological reflections, offering a vision of leadership and spiritual-moral imagination to bolster the future of evangelicalism. Together they discuss: Christianity, pluralism, and polarization The fraught meaning of “evangelicalism” in America and what it means to be a “good news person” in this political moment The human impulse to wield power and the temptation of evangelicals to join with empire The Christian underpinnings of the American nation's founding and the necessary ingredients for the rise of Christian nationalism How evangelicals are retelling and recasting the story of the gospel in today's political climate About Walter Kim Walter Kim serves as the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, a role he's held since January of 2020. Previously, he was the pastor of Boston's historic Park Street Church, and has served other churches in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Charlottesville, Virginia, and as a campus chaplain at Yale University. He received a BA from Northwestern University, an MDiv from Regent College, and a PhD from Harvard University in Near Eastern languages and civilizations. He hosts the Difficult Conversations podcast. Show Notes Long-term faithfulness to the gospel in the maelstrom of challenges and difficulties ”My experience has been one of extremes. … There is the lived reality of polarization, at which I find often myself right in the centre.” ”Sober self-assessment … one should always, as a Christian, be self-suspicious: Am I compromising? … Am I responding in faith or out of fear?” “Purveyor of the good news in action.” “Our labour in Christ is not in vain … ultimately Christ remains Lord and Savior of all.” The word “evangelical” and the state of US evangelicalism What does it mean to be a “good news person”? World Evangelical Alliance General Assembly Laussane and a gathering of five thousand evangelicals from around the world “It's not a branding issue. It's a substance issue.” “Global church with a polycentric distribution of leadership and resources” “Whatever our maelstrom and vortex may be in America, it pales in comparison to what brothers and sisters are experiencing throughout the world.” “I'm very pro-democracy, and yet democracy has never been the necessary prerequisite for the good news of Jesus Christ to flourish. …  The good news of Jesus Christ doesn't win and doesn't lose based on a political party winning or losing.” Religious community vs “the other” How does the church relate to dominant powers? Image of God is not just an abstract idea “The democratization of the image of God to all people—not just to the rulers—was a profoundly prophetic statement.” Tower of Babel: A story not just about hubris, but about hoarding power and the ways political imperialism can use religion for its own purposes. “This is not a uniquely American problem. … This is a problem of humanity.” Evangelicals who have given themselves to empire Marring God's image and remaking God in our own image Pluralism and Christianity The capacity for self-reflection The Christian underpinnings of the American nation's founding, and the rise of Christian nationalism “What's different now is the pluralism.” The necessary ingredients for the rise of Christian nationalism Ingredient 1: The belief that America was founded as a Christian nation Ingredient 2: A sense or feeling of loss Ingredient 3: The answer to regaining what you lost is political Descriptive versus prescriptive: Was America founded as a Christian nation? Hope in the loving and just reign of God No national church: “living under their own vine and fig tree.” The reason we don't privilege Christianity in the Constitution Lilly Endowment project “The Good News is still good news.” “Retelling and recasting the story … as a message of hope.” “ This initiative is an opportunity for us to tell the beautiful story of Jesus, while not neglecting the ways that story has been marred.” Luke 4: Jesus's first public speech. “ The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor, freedom for the prisoner, sight for the blind, release for the oppressed. And to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

Losing a loved one is a time of profound grief and confusion, and the practical tasks that follow can feel overwhelming. Settling a loved one's estate requires careful attention and preparation. Let's walk through six financial steps to take during this challenging time, all underpinned by prayer and reliance on God's guidance.Begin with PrayerBefore addressing financial matters, take time to pray. Invite God into your decisions and ask for wisdom. James 1:5 reminds us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”Prayer offers clarity and comfort, helping you approach the estate settlement process with confidence and peace, knowing the Holy Spirit is interceding on your behalf (Romans 8:26).Step 1: Obtain the Death CertificateThe death certificate is a critical legal document you'll need to settle your loved one's affairs. It's usually prepared by the medical examiner and provided through the funeral home.You'll need multiple copies for various purposes, such as notifying financial institutions, filing taxes, and starting probate. If you don't receive the death certificate within a few weeks, contact the funeral home or your local vital records office.Step 2: Begin the Probate ProcessTake the death certificate and the will to your county probate office to file a petition to begin probate. As the executor, you can then carry out the deceased's wishes.If there's no will, the process becomes more complex. You'll still petition the court to begin probate and may request to be named administrator of the estate. However, the court will decide how the estate is distributed according to state law. For guidance, consider consulting a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA). Visit FaithFi.com and click “Find a Professional” to find a trusted advisor.Step 3: Notify Financial Institutions and AdvisorsInform the deceased's financial institutions, banks, and financial advisors of their passing. Advisors can help identify assets and ensure they're handled correctly.Check for accounts with Transfer on Death (TOD) or Payable on Death (POD) instructions. These accounts can often bypass probate, simplifying the process.Additionally, notify the three credit reporting agencies—Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. Provide the death certificate to close accounts and check for fraudulent activity.Step 4: Address Insurance PoliciesContact the deceased's life insurance company to begin the claims process and provide the death certificate and policy details.Also, cancel other unnecessary insurance policies, such as auto or disability insurance, to avoid ongoing payments for no longer required services.Step 5: Notify Government AgenciesEnsure the appropriate government agencies are informed of your loved one's passing. The funeral director often notifies Social Security but confirm that this has been done.Notify Medicare and, if applicable, the VA or other government programs. This step helps avoid complications and ensures benefits are properly adjusted.Step 6: File Final TaxesThe final step is filing the deceased's taxes, including any outstanding returns. This is often best handled by a professional, such as a CPA, to ensure compliance and accuracy.While these tasks may seem overwhelming, prayer and preparation can guide you through. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. Lean on God's wisdom and the support of trusted professionals to navigate this season with grace and confidence.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My able-bodied older sister has been relying on our family for financial support for the past 8 years, even though the work she chooses doesn't provide enough income. Should we continue supporting her, or is that not helping her in the long run?My wife and I will inherit an IRA from my mother-in-law. The IRA and a brokerage account contain over $300,000 in cash.

I currently owe $27,000 on my home. Should I pay off the remaining mortgage, which would increase my monthly payment, or should I get a car that would cost around $20,000, which would lower my monthly payment? I don't know where to get the money to do either.My 91-year-old dad has a $3,500-$4,000 monthly shortfall in his long-term care expenses and is down to his last $25,000.

In his sermon, Pastor Kenneth emphasizes the joy and power of gathering in the house of God, encouraging believers to seek the presence of the Holy Spirit actively in their lives. He announces upcoming revival nights focused on worship and prayer, stressing the importance of accessing the limitless power available through the Holy Spirit, rather than living in "valet mode," which restricts one's spiritual potential. Using biblical references, he highlights that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead resides in believers, offering them the strength to overcome challenges, addiction, anxiety, and generational issues.

We explore the challenges of navigating the 3D world, the balance required during these turbulent times, and the ongoing Great Awakening. Dawn shares profound insights from her spiritual journey, offering guidance on cultivating compassion and rising above the chaos to serve with love and light. This is a conversation filled with wisdom, heart, and inspiration— perfect for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the Divine Feminine. Takeaways Dawn's journey into priestesshood began with a home birth in 1984. The Divine Mother Ray represents the nurturing aspect of God awakening within us. Compassion is essential in recognizing the hijacking of consciousness. We must discern what is in our lane and what is not. Our frequency influences the collective consciousness and reality. The ascension process involves clearing old systems that do not serve life. Finding balance in turbulent times requires going vertical and connecting with the divine. The Great Awakening is a shift towards unity and higher consciousness on Earth. Spiritual practices help us rise above the chaos of the 3D world. Living with an awakened heart means accepting others exactly where they are. Sound Bites "The Divine Mother Ray is awakening within us." "Your frequency matters." "We lift as we rise."

Whatever is getting you down and causing you to believe that you cannot find joy in this season, we are going to fight back today with prayer by the Spirit, with the Word of God as our anchor. - Emma Danzey

Purchase Catching Whimsy here Hello there my friend. Thank you so very much for joining me today. We're beginning the year with some episodes looking at the big ideas of the Bible. We started last week by talking about the purpose of the Bible, why it matters and why it's important to study it. This week we're moving on to some concepts found in scripture that you might know as the fruit of the Spirit. Today's episode is about joy. Not the kind of joy that depends on circumstances, but the kind of joy that depends on Christ.

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comMatthew 6 As the sermon on the mount continues, Jesus explains that righteousness is not just about what we do, but also why we do it. To illustrate, Jesus uses three examples: giving, praying, and fasting. Charity is a staple in the disciple's life, but it must be for God and others, not ourselves. Prayer is a powerful testimony of faith, but it must be about fellowship with God, not the praise of others. Fasting is about focusing on God, not impressing others. This is all about treasure in heaven with God, not this earth. Jesus' disciples are not worried about the things of this life because they live for heaven. They trust in God, live for Him, and know that He will take care of them if they seek Him above all else. Jesus touches on sensitive topics in this chapter: giving to the poor, praying faithfully, and fasting from things to give attention to God. These are all challenges in our busy lives. How can we grow in them? Start from a place of love for God and others, and then be thankful for these outlets of praise. Carry that heart into the area of money and worry as well. These have choked out the word in many lives. We cannot serve God and money. We cannot live in anxiety and be courageous in Christ. Put His kingdom first, pray continually, and allow the Spirit to mold you, practicing righteousness from the heart, one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow. Righteous God, teach us to yearn to serve You daily. Help us to give to others as You bountifully give to us. Humble us to pray privately, grateful that You listen. Strengthen us to fast from earthly things, so we can show You are first in our lives. May we live to store up eternal treasures. Thank you for Christ's spiritual victory, so we know that life is more than money and possessions and that there is no reason to worry over earthly things. We will seek You first and cast aside worry and fear in Jesus' name.  Thought Questions:  -       Why do you do righteous things? From charity work to prayer to fasting, how should that be centrally about God and your love for Him? -       How does “the Lord's Prayer” place you in the right state of mind to take on the day in faith? What piece of it means the most to you today? -       Are God's people different when it comes to the allure of wealth and the worries of an uncertain world? How? What sustains us in all of that?

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible with your host, Hunter. On today's episode, we close out the second week of our spiritual journey through scriptures and prayer, focusing on growth, healing, and the importance of community. We delve into the compelling story of Jacob and Laban's covenant at Mispah, Jacob's dramatic encounters with God, and his reconciliation with Esau. We'll also explore teachings from Jesus about repentance, salvation, and the transformative power of faith, using rich parables and profound metaphors. Hunter, our Bible reading coach, guides us through this spiritual passage, aiming to complete the entire Bible in a year. Join us in this season of Epiphany, as we seek deeper revelations of God's love and presence together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: He leads us towards reconciliation and transformation. As we read through Genesis chapters 31-33 and Luke chapter 13, we are invited to reflect on the profound and transformative power of reconciliation and divine intervention. The journey we witness in Jacob's life shows us the paths of struggle, fear, exodus, and finally, reunification. We see Jacob carefully following God's instructions to return to his homeland, even amidst the hostility he faces from Laban's sons and the change in Laban's attitude. Witness how God reassures Jacob of His divine presence throughout his journey, guiding him toward reconciliation and peace. When Jacob confronts Laban, their escalating conflict ultimately resolves in a covenant of peace marked by a monument of stones, a powerful symbol of their pledged boundary and mutual respect under God's witness. This story mirrors our own journeys. It reveals how, even in times of tension and adversity, God's guidance can lead to reconciliation and peace. As Jacob proceeds to meet his estranged brother Esau, we see him wrestling with fear and anxious hope for reconciliation. His night-long struggle with a divine figure, resulting in his renaming to "Israel" and his receipt of God's blessing, symbolizes the profound transformation that emerges from our deepest struggles. Consider also how Jacob's tentative, divided approach to meeting Esau reflects our own fears in facing conflict. His prayer for protection and his offering of gifts are acts of humility and a plea for grace —steps toward reconciliation. Remarkably, when Jacob and Esau finally meet, their encounter culminates not in violence, but in a heartfelt embrace and reconciliation. In Luke 13, Jesus challenges us to reflect on the nature of repentance and the unexpected ways God's kingdom unfolds among us. He speaks of Galileans and the tragedy of the tower of Siloam, pointing not to divine punishment, but to the universal need for repentance to avoid perishing. The parable of the fig tree granted another year embodies the patience and second chances God offers us. Jesus' healing of the crippled woman on the Sabbath defies the indignation of the religious leaders but illustrates the transformative and liberating power of God's kingdom. Moreover, the metaphors of the mustard seed and yeast capture the expansive and permeating influence of faith, which starts small but transforms everything it touches. We also see Jesus cautioning about the difficulty of entering God's kingdom, stressing the importance of being known by God. His unwavering commitment in the face of Herod's threat exemplifies his dedication to God's mission. Much like Jacob's wrestling with God, our faith journey often involves deep struggle and self-emptying. In these moments of struggle, we are invited to enter into God's transformative work, which reconciles and renews. As citizens of God's kingdom, we are called to experience and extend the love, peace, and transformation that only He can provide. We're invited into this divine wrestling match, to struggle with our fears, face our conflicts head-on, and ultimately, to be transformed and reconciled both with God and others. Let us embrace this message of reconciliation and transformation. Let us live out our faith with the assurance that God's presence is with us, guiding every step. As we walk this journey together, may we be lights of this kingdom, bringing God's love and peace into every corner of our lives. That's my prayer for each of us today. May we walk in the transformative power of reconciliation and embrace our identity as citizens of His kingdom. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

Job 35-37

To be “filled with the Spirit” is a biblical phrase, often used but rarely understood. Some would use the phrase to describe either another Christian's character or a moment when someone seems to have divine inspiration. Most commonly, the term “filled with the Spirit” is used to describe sudden ecstatic behavior. What is clear is that the church struggles to understand what the Bible means when it says:Eph 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord [is]. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;Today on the Postscript, we have Pastor Brian Clark, church planter, author, and Biblical studies instructor at LFBI, to discuss this topic with Brandon Briscoe, provost of LFBI. Brian will help us gain a biblical answer for what it means to be filled with the Spirit and how it affects our life and ministry.Visit https://lfbi.org/learnmore

What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit daily? Our conversation with Pastors Josh Howerton, Marc McCartney, and Carlos Erazo explores this profound question as we reflect on grace, legalism, and the power of surrender. Together, we unpack how daily dependence on the Holy Spirit transforms our lives, drawing wisdom from Acts 15 and personal stories of faith. From practical steps to guard against legalism to living on mission for "one more," this episode offers a heartfelt reminder of the joy, freedom, and purpose found in walking with the Spirit. Join us as we learn to live in the fullness of God's grace, allowing His Spirit to guide, empower, and renew us each day.

This week, we'll focus on Jesus' baptism from Luke 3:15-17 and 21-22, where we see His dependence on the Father and His absolute commitment to God's will. The Trinity's presence highlights and affirms Jesus as the one chosen to carry out God's rescue mission. Despite humanity's natural tendency to rebel against God's authority, Jesus identified with us. We now receive the benefit of Jesus' saving work through our own baptisms, including the Father's approval and the Spirit's presence, empowering and transforming us to live for Him and trust in His grace.SERIES SUMMARY: The goal of Dr. Luke's Gospel is to present the universal reach of Jesus' gift of salvation. As a man of science, Luke was not particularly interested in mere spiritual opinions, feelings, rumors, or legends. Educated and orderly, Luke sifted through the garbage of misinformation and bad ideas to bring substantiated eyewitness verification of the truth—a gracious reality of mercy and justice for all.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

When the topic of generosity comes up in church, reactions can be mixed. Some tune out, assuming the message is about funding a project or filling a financial gap. But generosity is about much more than meeting needs—it's about the heart behind the act. Let's explore not only why we should give but also why we shouldn't and how to cultivate a heart for biblical generosity.Why We Shouldn't Give1. Guilt Shouldn't Be Your MotivationMany Christians have been influenced by guilt-driven messages, from legalism to the prosperity gospel. These teachings suggest that not giving enough equates to stealing from God or forfeiting His blessings. However, the Bible paints a different picture.In 2 Corinthians 9:7, Paul reminds us, “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Faithful giving stems from joy, not guilt or obligation.It's also crucial to distinguish between guilt and conviction. Guilt comes from the enemy and leads us away from Christ, while conviction comes from the Holy Spirit, drawing us closer to God. Hebrews 10:22 reassures us that, through Christ's sacrifice, we are freed from guilt. If guilt drives your giving, pause and prayerfully examine your heart.2. Giving to Control the ChurchSometimes, people give to influence church decisions, designating funds to specific ministries or withholding support to express disagreement with leadership. This approach can sow division and turn generosity into a transaction.Giving with strings attached undermines the act of worship and reflects a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. As stewards of God's resources, we are called to support His work, even when we don't agree with every decision.3. Seeking Self-Righteousness Through GivingGenerosity should not be a means to feel morally superior. In Luke 18:11-12, Jesus shares the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector. The Pharisee flaunted his giving to showcase his righteousness, while the tax collector humbly sought God's mercy.Faithful giving is a response to God's grace, not a way to earn recognition or status. If pride motivates your generosity, it's time to reassess your heart.Principles for Generous GivingTo develop a heart of biblical generosity, consider these principles:1. Make Giving a PriorityProverbs 3:9 teaches, “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.” Giving should come first—not as an afterthought or leftover.2. Embrace Sacrificial GivingIn 2 Samuel 24:24, David declares, “I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.” True generosity often requires sacrifice, mirroring Christ's sacrificial love for us.3. Give CheerfullyAs Paul emphasizes in 2 Corinthians 9:7, “God loves a cheerful giver.” Joyful giving reflects trust in God's provision and a desire to participate in His work.Reflect Before You GiveBefore giving, ask yourself:Am I giving out of gratitude, joy, and a desire to honor God?Or are guilt, control, or pride influencing my decision?God values the heart behind your generosity far more than the size of your gift. By giving with a spirit of gratitude and humility, you participate in advancing His Kingdom and glorifying Him through your stewardship.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I've lived with a roommate for the past three years, and he has not had a job since March. I haven't been able to set any money aside or anything like that, with me covering those, and I wanted to know if you had any advice on what I should do if I should move out or otherwise.I have a son who's considering bankruptcy. He has more than just credit card debt, and I'm concerned about what filing bankruptcy will do to his credit and how long it would take him to recover. He's hoping to be able to buy a house soon.My friend told me about an IRA manager, and I am about to sign the contract. They charge 1.5%, and I want to know if that is normal. I'm about to sign a check for $8,000, and I just want more information about that. Also, can you tell me about an annuity? I don't know much about it.When my grandmother died, in her will, she left your house to me and my aunt pending her husband's death. Well, before her husband died, he ended up giving the property to somebody else, and because of that, my aunt and I were just left out. Is that legal? Can you confirm whether it's true that you must report interest gained to the federal government if you open a high-yielding savings account?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly PublicationBetterment | Schwab Intelligent PortfoliosLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

A craftsman casts it,        and a goldsmith overlays it with gold        and casts for it silver chains.    He who is too impoverished for an offering        chooses wood that will not rot;    he seeks out a skillful craftsman        to set up an idol that will not move.            Do you not know? Do you not hear?        Has it not been told you from the beginning?        Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?    It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,        and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;    who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,        and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;    who brings princes to nothing,        and makes the rulers of the earth as emptiness.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Te Deum laudamusYou are God: we praise you; You are the Lord: we acclaim you; You are the eternal Father: All creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory. The glorious company of apostles praise you. The noble fellowship of prophets praise you. The white-robed army of martyrs praise you.

You are seated at God's right hand in glory. We believe that you will come and be our judge.Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saintsto glory everlasting. Eph. 1:1-14A Reading from the Letter to the Ephesians.Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,  To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:  Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.  In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Mark 1:1-13A Reading from the Gospel According to Mark.The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,    “Behold, I send my messenger before your face,        who will prepare your way,    the voice of one crying in the wilderness:        ‘Prepare the way of the Lord,        make his paths straight,'”              John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”  In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”  The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Benedictus Dominus DeusBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop is joined by Reya Manna, founder of the Song Keepers School, for an inspiring conversation that traverses spirituality, the power of the human voice, psychedelics, ancient creation myths, and the cultural significance of storytelling and singing. Reya shares her journey from being discouraged from pursuing a life centered around singing to discovering its deeper healing potential during South American plant medicine ceremonies. The discussion touches on the sacred role of sound in protection and healing, the pitfalls of artificial intelligence's detachment from soul and embodiment, and the importance of nurturing authentic self-expression amidst modern distractions like social media. This rich dialogue emphasizes the profound wisdom carried through connection to nature, the divine feminine, and practices of deep listening, which Reya also integrates into her Song Keepers School. If you're seeking to reconnect with your voice and align with ancient healing traditions, you can learn more about Reya's work and upcoming programs at www.reyamanna.com.

The vibration of our own voice can ground us, heal emotional wounds, and serve as a tool for blessing and transformation when used with intentionality and love. This deeper understanding of the voice's role in healing can reframe how we view self-expression and creativity.Rediscovering Ancestral Wisdom and Connection to Nature: The conversation highlights how many of us have become disconnected from ancestral practices and the natural world. Reya explains how nature holds wisdom in its patterns and sounds, serving as a "library" of memory and guidance. Through offerings, prayers, and song, individuals can rekindle a relationship with the earth that restores a sense of belonging and purpose.Singing as a Transmission of Love and Sacred Intentions: In contrast to the commodification of music in modern society, Reya describes how the act of singing has traditionally been used by shamans and healers to convey love, protection, and blessings. By building a practice of singing from the heart, individuals can access their authentic voice and align with their higher purpose, amplifying their energy field and positively impacting others.Navigating the Modern Landscape of Technology and AI with Discernment: Stewart and Reya discuss the rise of artificial intelligence and its impact on creativity and self-awareness. They reflect on how AI can replicate but cannot embody the soulful essence of human expression. This prompts a reminder to foster resilience against digital distractions by grounding ourselves in embodied experiences and genuine human connection.The Interplay Between Spirituality, Desire, and Social Conditioning: The discussion delves into the Gnostic myths and the idea that true desires originate from the "high heart" and guide us toward our soul's blueprint. However, lower desires—amplified by social media and consumerism—can entrap us in illusions. Recognizing this distinction can help individuals reclaim their agency and align with their authentic spiritual path.The Divine Feminine and Sacred Balance in Creation: Reya brings attention to the erasure of the divine feminine in many spiritual narratives and emphasizes the importance of restoring balance by honoring both masculine and feminine energies. She shares stories of ancient priestesses and the sacred role of women as conduits of creation and wisdom, suggesting that reclaiming this knowledge is essential for collective healing and spiritual evolution.A Call to Collective Kindness and Creative Agency: The conversation ends with a reflection on the power of individual actions in creating ripples of collective change. Whether through a simple song, a kind gesture, or a moment of deep listening, every act of love and care contributes to a more harmonious world. Reya underscores the importance of remembering that we are creators of our reality, capable of shaping a future imbued with compassion, connection, and truth.
