Exodus 3:7 makes God's heart unmistakable: He heard the cries of His people, He knew their suffering, and He was already moving toward deliverance—even when the days turned into years and hope started to wobble. In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef speaks to anyone standing at the crossroads of hope and doubt. God's timing can feel slow, but it is never careless. He will not be late—He will be right on time. Like David, we learn to wait with courage and confidence: “I will see the goodness of the LORD… Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart” (Psalm 27:13–14). You'll also see how God used Moses' “set-aside” season. After trying to force the outcome in his own strength, Moses was drawn into the wilderness for decades—not as punishment, but as preparation. God was quieting his pride, tempering his impulses, and shaping him into a leader who would trust and obey. If you feel shelved, stalled, or forgotten, this devotional offers a steady perspective: God wastes nothing. Keep your obedience sincere, your surrender unconditional, and your hope anchored in His promises. Prayer: God, I come to You in a difficult place. I pray that Your will would be accomplished in this season of my life. Help me to trust You and wait on You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “But while Joseph was there in the prison, the Lord was with him, . . .” (Genesis 39:20-21).  Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

What if the separation you're feeling is not rejection... but preparation? In this episode of Youth Worker On Fire, Doug Edwards shares a powerful message about calling, wilderness seasons, spiritual preparation, and trusting God when people, opportunities, or familiar places seem to disappear from your life. After hearing a simple but profound statement, "Before God elevates you, He clears the room", Doug reflects on how God often prepares leaders by creating space, removing distractions, and drawing them closer before the next assignment. In this episode, Doug unpacks: • Why God sometimes separates you before He elevates you. • How Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness prepared Him for ministry. • Why David had to spend time in hiding before becoming king. • How seasons of loss, transition, and confusion can become preparation. • Why seeking God's kingdom first changes everything. • How God can redirect your life into a calling you never saw coming. • Why wilderness seasons are often where leaders are formed. Doug also shares from his own journey—how a music career path suddenly disappeared, how that season felt confusing and painful, and how God used it to prepare him for decades of student ministry. Whether you are a youth pastor, ministry volunteer, Christian educator, parent, or leader walking through transition, this episode will encourage you to trust that God may be doing more in the quiet than you realize. ✨ Sometimes God clears the room not to punish you—but to prepare you for what He has already planned. _________________________________________________________________________________

The Rebbe explains that the approach to studying Chassidus and prayer depends on individual character, but everyone must prepare with acceptance of Torah. He advises consulting local elders and emphasizes essential practices like immersion and daily study of Chumash, Tehillim, and Tanya. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/011/009/3550

This class explores the spiritual journey beginning on Rosh Chodesh Sivan, focusing on the unity achieved at Sinai, the equal value of every Jew in receiving Torah, and why children are essential guarantors for Matan Torah.

Read the article written by Tom Cohenno, Ed.D., CSP, CUSP, NBC-HWC: https://incident-prevention.com/blog/spiritual-preparation-for-safer-work/   The provided text explores the concept of spiritual preparation as a vital component of occupational safety, particularly within high-stakes utility work. It argues that while rules and training are necessary, they often fail when workers face stress or fatigue, leading them to take calculated risks. To bridge this gap, the author advocates for the development of a personal moral code that provides workers with a sense of purpose and identity during adversity. Drawing on philosophical excellence, military discipline, and psychological connection, the source suggests that internalizing values like "being a brother's keeper" ensures consistent behavior when shortcuts seem tempting. Ultimately, this approach aims to reduce serious injuries and fatalities by anchoring professional decisions to deep-seated convictions rather than temporary convenience. This defensive working mindset encourages employees to clarify their standards before entering high-pressure situations to ensure they return home safely.   Key Takeaways The Risk Gap Phenomenon: Serious injuries often occur not because workers are ignorant of rules, but because they consciously decide to bypass them due to "perceived risk"—subjective feelings that a shortcut is safe because "it will only take a second". Neurological Failure Under Stress: Under high pressure, the logical prefrontal cortex "powers down," and the amygdala (emotional center) takes over, causing people to prioritize immediate values like speed or convenience over abstract safety protocols. Redefining "Spiritual" Preparation: In a safety context, "spiritual" refers to an individual's internal collection of commitments and moral code—the standard they refuse to drop below even when exhausted or unmonitored. The Power of Premeditation: Using the concept of Arete (excellence of character) and Premeditatio Malorum (premeditation of evils), workers can mentally "micro-dose" stress by visualizing hazards in advance, ensuring their response is deliberate rather than panicked when a crisis occurs. Shared Duty as a Shield: Strong internal commitments, such as the US Army's model of spiritual fitness or a shared sense of duty, can override biological self-preservation instincts to ensure team safety during chao Questions & Answers 1. Why is traditional safety training often insufficient during a high-pressure crisis? Traditional training targets the rational, rule-following brain. However, during extreme stress, the brain's logical centers may "lock away" the rulebook, leaving unconscious drivers and immediate values to dictate behavior.   2. What is "Premeditatio Malorum," and how does it improve safety? It is a classical philosophy practice of visualizing potential problems (like equipment failure or storms) before they happen. This "practices the panic" while the rational brain is still online, so that if the event occurs, the nervous system recognizes it as a familiar situation rather than a novel threat, preventing a blinding spike of cortisol.   3. What happens when an individual's personal moral code clashes with a toxic company culture? The transcript poses this as a critical conflict: when a worker's internal commitment to safety meets an "unspoken culture" that demands speed or profit at all costs, the worker's "armor" may eventually crack, or they may be forced to leave the organization entirely to protect their integrity.   Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/   #WorkplaceSafety #IncidentPrevention #SafetyLeadership #OperationalExcellence #HumanFactors   _______________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

By: Dr E. Allen Griffith. This is the two hundred and eighteenth episode of By the Book! Listening to this could change your life! New episodes every Friday!

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, I'm discussing my changing views on Israel, Donald Trump, and Candace Owens and why principles grounded in Scripture must always matter more than personalities.I'll discuss how easy it is to get swept up in political figures, influencers, and movements… all while forgetting that God alone is who we should be following. The devil is just like a stalker prowling around, watching, scheming, seeking someone to devour. And in these chaotic times, he's using deception, manipulation, and emotional brainwashing to pull people into confusion and ultimately into Hell.In this episode, we're talking about how the synagogue of Satan is operating openly today, pushing narratives meant to distract and divide. I am urging my listeners to stay anchored in the Word, remain spiritually alert, and refuse to be seduced by personalities, platforms, or “conservative celebrities” who very well may not be aligned with God's truth.Ultimately, we all need to return to the Bible (now more than ever) and to guard our minds and souls as the days grow darker and darker.--https://www.bible.com/

Advent: Mental and Spiritual Preparation

In this episode, Swamiji continues his exploration of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 6, revealing the deeper purpose behind life's delays and struggles. Listeners will discover how Shree Krishna's divine plan is not about denial, but preparation—shaping the soul through patience, introspection, and surrender.  Swamiji explains that spiritual growth often requires waiting—not as punishment, but as a sacred pause where the soul matures and becomes ready to receive divine grace. Through relatable examples and scriptural clarity, this episode encourages seekers to trust the timing of their journey and embrace every moment as part of Krishna's design.  Building upon our previous episode about the divine origin of creation, this discussion deepens your understanding of how God's timing aligns with your spiritual readiness. Tune in to enrich your journey through the Gita and elevate your quest for trust, surrender, and divine alignment.

Standing firm in faith isn't about striving—it's about trusting. In this message, Lori Camiolo challenges listeners to rely on God's strength rather than their own when facing life's battles. Drawing from Ephesians 6:13 and the story of David and Goliath, she emphasizes spiritual preparation—putting on the full armor of God—and then standing, confident that God will fight on our behalf. Through personal stories of uncertainty and waiting, Lori reminds us that sometimes faith looks like stillness, not action. The call is clear: be prepared, be steadfast, and trust that true victory comes not through fighting harder, but through standing firm and letting God move.

“Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it.” Proverbs 22:6    “In the absence of a faith environment where the child may live, of which he feels himself a part and in which he feels himself almost held, we risk cultivating hothouse flowers in the atrium, which are incapable of enduring the severity of the external climate. On the other hand, without a place where the child can come in touch with the religious reality in a way and at a rhythm suitable to children, there is the danger the child will pass by great things without ever being able to grasp, interiorize, and make these realities his own. The initiation of a child into Christian life is not a work that can be fulfilled by the catechist alone, nor by the parents alone, It is the whole Christian community that proclaims Christ, and the child must enter into contact with the entire Christian community. The catechist's work – valuable as it is- must be sustained and confirmed by a community that lives what the catechist proclaims.” Sofia Cavalletti, The Religious Potential of the Child page 30-31    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    Podcasts by Series  Level One Book Study  Level Two Book Study    Hannah Marconeri shares with us idea on how to get parents involved in the CGS program as an aid to the CGS program but also for their own personal spiritual growth as well as to aid in the prayer life of their domestic churches.   Hannah Marconeri began her journey with The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in 2011 and currently serves as a catechist and Director of Discipleship at St. Robert Bellarmine in Flushing, MI.

What foundation are you building your life on—sand or solid rock? In this powerful message, drawing from Matthew 7:24-27, Pastor James Wilson and Bro. Jahmari Moodie teach on the importance of spiritual preparation, obedience to God's Word, and building your faith on the unshakeable truth of Christ. From correcting common misquotes of Scripture to unpacking the parable of the two builders, this sermon reminds us that life's storms will come, but only a faith built on solid ground will stand. They highlight how disobedience, like in the story of Achan, affects more than just the individual, and how true worship goes beyond praise—it is surrendering to God's sovereignty no matter the circumstance. The call for the rest of 2025 is clear: clean out the spiritual clutter, let God's light into every corner of your life, and commit fully to living as His temple. When you allow God to order every part of your life, you will stand firm through trials and walk in the fullness of His promises.

#356 In this episode, Guy welcomed Robbie Mackenzie to discuss the power of the Merkaba, a form of sacred geometry that informs our energy fields and helps individuals unlock their spiritual potential. Robbie explained how opening the Merkaba can lead to heightened states of consciousness, spiritual ascension, and overall well-being. He shared his personal journey, which includes extensive fasting and meditation, to fully activate and channel this energy. Throughout the conversation, the importance of raising collective consciousness and embracing one's divine power is emphasized. Robbie also talked about his work with Archangel Metatron and his role as an 'ascension artist,' encouraging listeners to recognize and tap into their inner power for a transformative life experience. About Robbie: Robbie Mackenzie, a trance Medium, Healer and Intuit. I developed in a meditation circle twenty one years ago and very quickly I was standing on my feet being overshadowed by beautiful loving beings who spoke through me while I was in a deep trance state. The words were very loving and energy healing and I always felt like I was getting a big comfortable hug from beyond. Soon I was asked to channel in front of groups at church services and the messages were always very well received.

What does it mean to be a chosen generation? Are you walking in your divine purpose? In this powerful message, Pastor Donnie McClurkin reminds us that we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, and a holy nation (1 Peter 2:9), called to represent God's kingdom beyond earthly boundaries. Drawing from Joel 2:25, he reassures us that God will restore everything the enemy has stolen, providing for His people even in the face of trials. Pastor McClurkin also emphasizes the importance of generational unity, urging the younger generation to embrace their divine assignments while the older generation steps up to mentor and guide. Above all, he calls believers to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ by living holy lives and fulfilling their God-given purpose. Sermon Scriptures: 1 Peter 2:9; Joel 2:23-29; 1 Thessalonians 4:17   We stream live every Sunday at 11 am ET and every Wednesday at 8 pm ET.

Winning a race requires purpose and discipline. Paul uses this illustration to explain that the Christian life takes hard work, self-denial, and persistent preparation. As Christian, we are running toward our heavenly reward.    Prayer, bible study, and worship, along with other spiritual disciplines, equip us to run with vigor and stamina. Don't just sit back and watch and do the bare minimum in your training. Train diligently-your spiritual progress depends upon it.    Enjoy! Jennifer   P.S.

God has charged every generation with the responsibility of passing on the faith to the next generation. We are where we are as a nation because the last four generations have failed to do so. God has given parents the primary responsibility for the practical education and spiritual preparation of their children. The heart is the most important part of the human being, and God knows a child's heart is developed in the home. What do we need to teach our children as a part of their spiritual preparation? You can teach what you know but you reproduce who you are. Teach your children who they are by teaching them whose they are. Those who know who they are can't be easily manipulated, intimidated, confused, or controlled. We have forgotten who we are because we have forgotten who God is. You can't know who you are if you don't know who God is. If we don't educate our children, the world will indoctrinate our children! Regardless of whether you choose to homeschool, you must home-educate, because spiritual preparation starts in a home. Make your house God's house, and you will pass the faith on to your children and grandchildren. Don't forget to click the “bell” to SUBSCRIBE to get more videos like this to grow your faith!

Are we on the brink of a post-human world? Host Curtis Chang is joined by author and Good Faith contributor Andy Crouch to delve into what it means to remain truly human in an era of growing AI powers. Together, they explore how followers of Jesus can help shape and adopt artificial intelligence to enhance rather than diminish the Imago Dei. They challenge listeners to exert authority over AI, including resisting the false ways that technology makes relationships appear effortless and frictionless, and instead pursue the more difficult but rewarding vision of genuine human community.   Listen to Songs For the After Party, get sheet music, lyrics, and prayers for your church.   Bring The After Party course to your church or small group!    Join the Redeeming Babel Team: Marketing Manager Job Opening   Referenced in this Episode Read Rosario Butterfield's book: The Gospel Comes with a House Key Read Ruth Okediji's ebook: Copyright in a Global Information Economy Read Ruth Okediji's paper: The Limits of International Copyright Exceptions for Developing Countries Read Leopold Aschenbrenner's paper: Situational Awareness, The Decade Ahead   Explore Andy Crouch's work: Check out Andy's website Check out Andy's work at Praxis Read Andy's book: The Life We're Looking For
