In the evening service, Graham starts a new series on the Fruits of the Spirit, reflecting on how God's love transforms us. (1 John 4: 7-12).

Signs of Life - The Gathering With Bob Ginsberg, Marta Kane and Tom and Melissa Gould Messages Beyond the Veil: The Gathering on Reincarnation, Spirit Love, Angels, and Life After Death This episode of Signs of Life radio, hosted by the Forever Family Foundation, explores the intersection of scientific inquiry and spiritual experience. The discussion features Bob Ginsberg, Tom and Melissa Gould, and Marta Kristen as they address listener questions regarding the scientific acceptance of the afterlife, the nature of life reviews, and the validity of various forms of mediumship. Bob Ginsberg Opens Signs of Life: The Gathering In this episode of Signs of Life: The Gathering, host Bob Ginsberg is joined by Marta Kane, Tom Gould, and Melissa Gould for a listener-question program centered on survival of consciousness. Bob opens with announcements from Forever Family Foundation, including the upcoming July grief retreat, a mediumship raffle, and a California medium and psychic development conference. The group then turns to audience questions about reincarnation, spirit communication, afterlife relationships, soul memories, angels, suicide, and what proof of the afterlife might mean for humanity. Reincarnation Back Into the Same Family The first major question asks whether a soul can reincarnate back to the same mother. Bob says researcher Jim Matlock believes this is possible and that children who die very young, or even before birth, often reincarnate back into the same family and sometimes to the same mother. The group discusses how reincarnation cases are investigated through memories, family recognition, physical markings, and records. They also recall a child at a previous grief retreat who said he had been here before and did not want to stay because people had not learned much since his last life. Love and Relationships After Death Another listener asks whether a loved one who has crossed over still maintains the earthly relationship they had with a partner or family member. The group agrees that love continues after death and that a lack of direct “I love you” messages in a reading should not be taken as evidence that the relationship is gone. Bob explains that mediums often focus first on evidence of identity, while Tom adds that the very effort of a spirit coming through in a reading can itself be seen as a message of love. Being Born Aware and Early Memories Bob introduces the idea of people who are born aware, meaning they retain memories from birth, pre-birth, or the other side. The hosts discuss whether early-life impressions remain in the body or subconscious even when people do not consciously remember them. Marta shares that she remembers certain early experiences from her time in an orphanage, including both frightening and joyful moments. The group reflects on how strong memories, especially emotional ones, can stay with people and shape them even when ordinary details fade. Soul Readings, Past Lives, and Angelic Encounters The group answers a question about soul readings, explaining that these are usually described as explorations of a person's inner essence, soul blueprint, emotional patterns, or spiritual alignment. Bob notes that this kind of work is harder to evaluate evidentially than mediumship. Marta then raises the question of whether angels can appear as people. The hosts share stories of mysterious helpers who appear during danger or crisis and then disappear, including roadside helpers, rescue stories, and a mountain encounter that may have been a visitation from a deceased mother. Personality, Humor, and Communication in Spirit A listener asks whether people retain personalities in the afterlife and whether personalities ever clash. The hosts agree that personality appears to continue, especially because mediums often receive humor, mannerisms, and familiar expressions as evidence. Marta recalls a reading in which Tom's father came through with the kind of self-description and humor that matched him. At the same time, the group suggests that ego-driven conflict may fade because communication on the other side is often understood as telepathic, loving, and less burdened by human emotional distortions. Suicide, Compassion, and the Afterlife One of the most sensitive questions concerns whether someone who dies by suicide still has hope for the afterlife. Bob strongly reassures the listener that the answer is yes. He says suicide is often connected to emotional pain, depression, or illness, and he questions why mental illness should be treated differently from physical illness. Marta adds that the idea of punishing someone after death for ending their life in despair does not make sense to her, especially if one believes in divine love and forgiveness. The group frames the afterlife as compassionate, loving, and free from the harsh judgment some religious teachings may imply. Technology, Spirit Contact, and Future Proof The hosts also discuss whether future technology may make communication with the next world easier. They mention that Thomas Edison reportedly worked on the idea of a device to communicate with spirit and speculate that future discoveries about consciousness, information, communication, and perhaps artificial intelligence could help open new paths. Bob then poses a larger question: what would happen if spirit offered humanity irrefutable proof of survival after death? The group wonders whether people would live more recklessly, become more compassionate, lose fear of death, or simply appreciate life more deeply. Living With the Knowledge That Life Continues The episode closes with reflection on how belief in survival of consciousness changes the way people live. Tom says the work of Forever Family Foundation has given him confidence that consciousness continues, and that this has reduced fear, including during surgery. The group agrees that knowing life continues should not lead people to hasten death, but to value the present life more fully. They close with Claude Swanson's global peace prayer, encouraging love, forgiveness, kindness, care for the earth, and the reminder that loved ones are only a heartbeat away.

Sermon Date: 02/15/2026; Pastor Bill Bryson; Scripture Passage: Galatians 5:16-25Support the show

Jesus reveals that all of God's commands flow from one foundation: wholehearted love for God and self-giving love for others. This calls us to a faith that isn't about rules, but about reordered affection and devotion.

What if you're already sitting on more blessings than you realize? After weeks of talking about sin and negative programming, Dr. Alex Lloyd and Harry bring the good news: God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit have given you gifts that completely tidal wave your struggles. This isn't feel-good fluff—this is a comprehensive, scripture-backed catalog of what you actually receive from the Trinity. WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: - The complete list of gifts from God the Father (presence, power, glory, light, love, grace, and more) - What Jesus specifically gives you that the Father doesn't (His way, truth, life, righteousness, peace) - The unique blessings only the Holy Spirit provides (comfort, perfect counsel, fruit of the Spirit, power) - Why you receive love, peace, and grace from all three—and why that matters - What "glory" actually means in Old vs. New Testament (Harry's word study insights) - Why guilt and shame DON'T come from God (even when you've sinned) - The experiential difference between natural living and living in these gifts - How Harry's life transformed over 2-3 years by intentionally pursuing these blessings KEY TOPICS COVERED: God's Presence Everywhere - Psalm 139: "Where can I go that you're not there?" Supernatural Power vs. Natural Strength - Ephesians 3 The "Weight" of God's Glory That Fills the Earth Miraculous Light That Cleanses and Heals The New Heart and New Spirit Promise - Ezekiel 36:26-27 Being Made a New Creation - 2 Corinthians 5:17 Seated with Christ in Heaven's Throne Room - Ephesians 2:6 Jesus as Both Your Judge AND Defense Attorney The Mind of Christ and Being His Bride His Righteousness Imputed to You (How God judges you righteous even when you remember sinning) Love Beyond Knowledge - Ephesians 3:17-19 Peace That Passes Understanding Holy Spirit's Perfect Counsel for Your Specific Moment Fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Kindness, Goodness, Faith, Humility, Self-Control The Same Power That Raised Jesus From the Dead Working in You Life and Health to Your Mortal Body - Romans 8:11 Unlimited Forgiveness (70 times 7) Propitiation: Jesus Takes Your Place The All-Encompassing Grace of God POWERFUL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: "Love is God in motion." - Harry Lloyd "Would you rather have unconditional love from one person or two or three? You're getting it from all three persons of the Trinity." - Dr. Alex Lloyd "The experiential difference between this and what you might call the natural way of living... it is amazing how the trend of my life has been consistently upwards in the ways that really matter most." - Harry Lloyd "Guilt and shame don't come from God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit—at least not if you're committed to them in your life." - Dr. Alex Lloyd WORD STUDY INSIGHTS (from Harry): Glory (Old Testament): Refers to a substance of glory Glory (New Testament): God's definition of what value is, how it's structured, where it comes from—the hierarchy behind every kind of value Light: The physical manifestation of God's glory or presence Love: "God in motion"—the mechanism that underlies everything Grace: Literally means "unearned favor" IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS: - This doesn't mean life becomes problem-free—there is no path without pain, suffering, and sin on this earth - God won't take away your free will, even at 99 years old - These gifts lead to "lesser and lesser" problems over time, not elimination - Based on God's will for your specific situation (He sometimes uses health problems as "bumper guards") - You shouldn't accept this on Dr. Alex and Harry's say-so—Harry seriously studied atheism and apologetics before committing PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Dr. Alex suggests focusing on what God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit DO rather than dwelling on sin, guilt, shame, and selfishness. Consider writing down these gift lists and reviewing them regularly to shift your focus from the negative to the abundant blessings you already have.

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Rev. Rodney Henderson

In this deeply personal Sunday solo, Jane shares the story of her beloved Domino's sudden passing — and the extraordinary signs he sent from the other side. For long-time listeners, Domino has always been “one of the dogs under the desk,” a constant companion in the Medium Curious studio. This week, Jane opens up about his transition, the stunning validations that came through a trusted animal communicator, and the powerful reminders our pets offer us about love, grief, and what happens when they leave their bodies. Jane shares: How her journey with animal communication began The wild, specific evidence that first proved to her that pets absolutely communicate What Domino expressed about his transition in real time The moment she asked him, “What will your sign be?” How rainbows, and “Kiko” — showed up instantly Incredible synchronicities involving Guatemala, where Domino was born How her other dog, Kalea, responded (and what she said telepathically!) Why animals say humans “have death all wrong” And why pets are actually grief specialists If you're grieving a beloved pet, or supporting someone who is, this episode is full of comfort, magic, and hope.

Sermon by Cortlyn FrancisYouth Sunday 2025For our current sermon series - Fruit of the SpiritScripture Readings: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3, Galatians 5:22-23

Our theme this year is the Fruit of the Spirit. What is it and how do we cultivate and grow it? This month we'll take a closer look at the Fruit of Love. We'll discover why it is central to the Christian life, what true agape love really is, and how we can live it out. It's displayed in our obedience to God, our relationships, actions, thoughts, and even our words. The Rock Women Ladies' Night Fruit of the Spirit — Love Krista Whitney October 13, 2025

Send us a textWhat happens when Christians forget what love really means? In this powerful, unfiltered conversation, we dive deep into the troubling reality of modern Christian interaction – where many believers spend more time tearing each other down than building each other up. "So many people can jump into forty lives all day and bicker and argue and bite and devour and tear each other apart... That's not love. That's stupid." This raw assessment cuts to the heart of spiritual immaturity plaguing today's church, where too many remain spiritual infants, "babies slobbering with a bib on drinking milk, throwing up over everybody."The conversation takes a profound turn when exploring the true nature of God's love, described as "bloody" – not to shock, but to emphasize its fundamentally sacrificial character. We unpack essential yet often neglected theological concepts: propitiation, penal substitutionary atonement, and how Christ's sacrifice didn't merely provide an opportunity for salvation but accomplished it completely.Perhaps most touching is the vulnerable moment when a participant admits feeling ready to "throw in the towel" after years of reaching out to loved ones trapped in false teaching. The response resonates with anyone who's felt spiritual fatigue: "Christians, we are not allowed to give up. That is not the essence of endurance."This episode will challenge your understanding of Christian love, confront comfortable misconceptions about sacrifice, and remind you that no believer fights alone. Whether you're questioning what true biblical love looks like or feeling weary in your spiritual journey, this conversation offers both theological depth and practical encouragement for the road ahead.Share this episode with someone struggling to persevere in their faith journey or anyone who needs a fresh perspective on what Christian love truly means.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.

Send us a textWhat happens when biblical conviction creates division within our closest relationships? This raw, powerful conversation explores the painful reality many Christians face when standing firm in theological truth.The discussion opens with a sobering reminder that Jesus didn't come to bring peace but a sword—warning believers that our greatest spiritual battles often happen within our own households. Participants share personal stories of family members who actively avoid biblical discussions, in-laws who defer to priests rather than engage with scripture, and the loneliness that comes from refusing to compromise God's truth.A crucial distinction emerges between rejecting false theological systems and rejecting individuals caught within them. While the group firmly identifies doctrines like Arminianism and Roman Catholicism as fundamentally false, they emphasize that people exist at different stages of spiritual growth. Christians must remain steadfast gatekeepers of truth, refusing to tolerate even the smallest compromise, while recognizing God's sovereignty in drawing people to genuine faith.Perhaps most powerful is the testimony of reconciliation with a mother before her death from brain cancer. Rather than confrontational evangelism, it was the fruit of love, service and forgiveness that ultimately made spiritual impact—proving that Christian love manifests through both words and actions.The conversation culminates in a radical redefinition of family. "Your family is not your family," one participant boldly states, pointing instead to the spiritual bond between believers. In Christ, we become a new creation, relating to one another not through blood but through shared faith in absolute truth.How might your relationships change if you prioritized biblical truth over social comfort? What happens when we stop compromising to please others and fully embrace our role as watchmen for God's word?The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter. Laughs included.

Send us a textWhat does love really mean when we strip away cultural definitions and examine it through Scripture? In this thought-provoking conversation, we dive deep into the profound differences between divine love and human affection.God's love stands completely apart from human love. While we naturally love those who love us back, God demonstrates something radically different – He loved us "while we were yet sinners," when we stood in direct opposition to Him. This unconditional choice to love the unlovely challenges our very understanding of what love means.The discussion explores whether love is primarily an action or a state of being. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 13, we see that love must be both – it's who God is fundamentally (His nature) and what He demonstrates through Christ's sacrifice (His action). This divine love transforms us from within, replacing our hearts of stone with hearts of flesh, enabling us to love authentically rather than performatively.Perhaps most powerfully, one participant describes love as "bloody business," pointing to the cross where God's love reached its fullest expression. We see love in Christ's capture, in the nails piercing His flesh, in His words of forgiveness, and in His restraint from calling down angels to destroy His tormentors. This sacrificial, bloody love exposes the inadequacy of our cultural understanding of love as mere sentiment or feeling.The conversation also touches on Christian assurance – how believers often struggle with confidence in their salvation. Through vulnerable sharing, participants describe how assurance can be fleeting, here today and gone tomorrow. Yet Scripture points us toward placing our hope not in our performance but in Christ's finished work.Whether you're questioning the nature of love, struggling with assurance, or seeking to understand how Christians should respond to cultural opposition, this conversation offers biblical wisdom that challenges and encourages. Join us as we explore what it truly means to love like Christ in a world that has forgotten what real love looks like.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges. Conversations that Matter.

Send us a textThe distinction between works of the flesh and fruit of the Spirit reveals a profound truth at the heart of Christian living. While we often focus on what we should avoid, tonight's deep dive into Galatians 5:22-23 uncovers the beautiful reality of what naturally grows when the Holy Spirit dwells within us.What if your spiritual struggles aren't signs of failure but evidence of salvation? We explore how the very concerns many believers have about their standing with God actually demonstrate His presence in their lives. The unbeliever experiences no such inner conflict - only those being transformed by the Spirit feel this tension between flesh and spirit.One particularly fascinating insight emerges as we examine the text closely: Paul speaks of the "fruit" (singular) of the Spirit, not "fruits." This suggests that love, joy, peace and the other qualities listed aren't separate achievements but interconnected expressions of a single spiritual reality. Like different facets of a diamond, they reflect various aspects of Christ's character being formed in us.We also challenge common misconceptions about biblical love. God's love differs fundamentally from human love - it's not primarily emotional but active, it makes moral distinctions rather than accepting everything, and it's utterly unconditional. This understanding transforms how we view difficult conversations and confrontations within the church. Sometimes the most loving action isn't what feels comfortable or seems "nice" in the moment.The conversation culminates in a powerful realization: where the Spirit produces His fruit in our lives, we fulfill the deeper purposes of God's law through transformed hearts rather than external rule-following. This is the freedom Christ promised - not freedom to indulge the flesh, but freedom to bear beautiful spiritual fruit that glorifies God and blesses others.Whether you're struggling with sin, confused about what genuine love looks like, or simply wanting to grow spiritually, this episode offers biblical insights that will challenge, encourage, and transform your understanding of life in the Spirit.The Balance of GrayFaith That Challenges.
