Episode Summary: What if the biggest problem facing the Church isn't a lack of activity, but a lack of measurable discipleship?In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Len Munsil, President of Arizona Christian University, to explore a question most Christian institutions never ask: Are we actually forming a biblical worldview in the people we disciple? And as a reminder, “you cannot become a genuine disciple of Jesus without having a biblical worldview” (Dr. Barna).Drawing on years of research conducted with George Barna and the Cultural Research Center, Dr. Munsil explains how ACU measures worldview formation and what the data reveals about students, pastors, churches, and Gen Z. We discuss why biblical worldview is about more than knowledge, the surprising gap between Bible engagement and worldview adoption, and why intentional discipleship is essential for lasting cultural transformation.If you care about biblical worldview, Christian education, discipleship, and the future of the Church in America, this conversation offers both a sobering reality check and a reason for hope.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.
Today on Uncommon Sense, we're discussing the tragic state of the modern world.From the protests in Ireland to growing frustration across Western nations, many people feel as though their voices are no longer being heard by the institutions that claim to represent them. I'll share why I support the right of people to protest and why I believe the demonstrations in Ireland have resonated with so many people around the world.We'll also discuss what I see as a deeper spiritual crisis affecting modern society. Many of the political, cultural, and social problems we face today are symptoms of a broader moral and spiritual decline, one that cannot be solved through politics alone.In this episode:My thoughts on the protests in IrelandWhy so many citizens now feel disconnected from their governmentsThe growing divide between ordinary people and powerful institutionsThe role of faith, morality, and personal responsibility in rebuilding societyWhy I believe many of today's crises point to a deeper spiritual battleWhether you agree or disagree, this episode is an invitation to think critically about the direction of our culture, our governments, and our future.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app
Come Away and Rest When was the last time you truly rested? In Episode 156 of 2 Minute Disciple, we reflect on Mark 6:30–34, where the disciples return from ministry exhausted and full of stories. Before discussing their accomplishments or planning the next mission, Jesus offers a simple invitation: “Come away by yourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” It's a powerful reminder that Jesus is not only concerned with what we do for Him—He is deeply concerned with our souls. He knows when we've been giving, serving, working, and striving. He knows when we're running on empty. Yet the story takes an unexpected turn. The crowds follow. The quiet retreat is interrupted. And instead of responding with frustration, Jesus responds with compassion. Seeing the people as sheep without a shepherd, He begins to teach them. This passage holds two essential truths in tension: rest is necessary, and compassion is necessary. Jesus models both. He invites His followers to receive rest and teaches them how to respond graciously when life doesn't go according to plan. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why Jesus prioritizes rest for His disciples • The spiritual danger of constantly running on empty • How rest becomes an act of trust and obedience • What Jesus teaches us about interruptions and compassion • A simple practice for embracing genuine rest today Scripture Mark 6:30–34 (NLT) Reflection Question Am I regularly accepting Jesus' invitation to come away and rest—or have I been running on empty, giving what I no longer have to give? Today's Spiritual Practice Protect one genuine period of rest today. Not scrolling. Not multitasking. Not productive resting. Simply rest with Jesus. Before you begin, pray: “Jesus, I accept Your invitation. I come away with You now. Restore what the busyness has taken. Fill what has been emptied. I receive this rest as a gift from You—and I trust You with everything I'm setting down to take it.” If this episode encourages you, share it with one person today and help more people discover the peace, presence, and rest that Jesus offers.
When John walked with Jesus as one of the twelve, he loved the Lord deeply—but he hadn't yet seen the full glory of who Jesus is. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef takes you to Revelation 1, where John encounters Christ glorified, magnified, and transfigured—and his response is not casual familiarity but holy awe: “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead” (Revelation 1:17). Dr. Youssef challenges the modern tendency to treat Jesus like a buddy—speaking to Him with casualness that forgets His majesty. True awe isn't hype or exaggeration; it's the soul's trembling recognition of God's holiness. Yet this exalted, holy God also draws near to the contrite and lowly, extending grace that revives the humbled heart (Isaiah 57:15). This devotional will help you reframe worship, prayer, and everyday faith through a biblical lens: Jesus is not merely approachable—He is glorious. And when we see Him rightly, reverence grows, pride diminishes, and genuine worship takes root. Prayer: Father, You alone are awesome. The wonders of Your love are astounding. I cannot comprehend Your greatness. Help me to honor You as You deserve, and have mercy on me, Lord. Thank You for Your grace. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Jesus, . . . asked them, ‘Who is it you want?' ‘Jesus of Nazareth,' they replied. ‘I am he,' Jesus said. . . . When Jesus said, ‘I am he,' they drew back and fell to the ground” (John 18:4-6).

This week, Jake and Bob are joined by Fr. John Horn, co-founder of the Institute for Priestly Formation, to begin a series on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. They discuss the connection between our wounded image of God and sin, revealing how many of our repeated struggles are rooted in lies about our identity in the Father's love. Fr. John also shares how Confession can become more than just listing sins, why we should embrace our interior poverty, and the danger of scrupulosity. Key Points: Unforgiveness is one of the greatest barriers to restoration. Many people remain trapped after confession because they continue holding unforgiveness toward themselves. God does not despise our wounds; He desires to love us directly within them. Much of habitual sin is driven by deeper lies and false beliefs about God, ourselves, and others. Spiritual poverty is the very place that attracts God's mercy. Confession becomes transformative when we examine not only the outward sin, but the beliefs underneath it. Our image of God is often shaped by early relational wounds and experiences with parents or authority figures. God is not reluctantly forgiving us; He rejoices over us and fights for our healing and freedom. Resources: Institute for Priestly Formation Episode 131: Forgiveness and Spiritual Renewal w/ Fr. John Horn "....Not enough that the arrow has been extracted from the body, the wound, which it inflicted, must also be healed. So with regard to the soul. Not enough that the sin has been pardoned.

In this powerful message, Pastor Peter announces a divine season of spiritual renewal and the nearness of the Lord, inviting the church to move beyond a "spirit of sameness" and embrace a fresh move of God. As the community begins "Seek Week," a dedicated time of prayer and fasting, listeners are encouraged to trade natural distractions for time "feasting on the Lord" to gain mental sharpness and spiritual momentum. Grounded in Psalm 103:5, Pastor Peter explains that God desires to renew our youth like the eagles, providing a buoyant, missionary spirit that rejects lethargy and weariness, regardless of one's age. This teaching challenges us to return to the "ancient path" of the gospel, becoming a community that fulfills the Great Commandment to love God and the Great Commission to reach those far from Him (Mark 16:15). Ultimately, we are called to draw near to God with a holy awe, trusting that His presence will revitalize our lives, our families, and our entire region.

Do you have someone in your life who only reaches out when they want something? That kind of one-sided relationship feels transactional—and it's a powerful mirror for how many believers approach God. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges us to move beyond “laundry-list” praying—requests without worship, needs without thanksgiving, future-focused anxiety without remembering God's past faithfulness. When we forget what God has already done, our prayers weaken because forgetfulness reveals ingratitude—and we begin taking credit for victories only God could have accomplished. Dr. Youssef points to a pattern throughout Scripture: God repeatedly calls His people to remember—sometimes by setting up visible memorials of His provision. These “Ebenezer stones” (“stone of help”) become spiritual markers that spark renewal, revive gratitude, and draw us back into abiding fellowship with Christ. They remind us where our help truly comes from—and they re-center our hearts on God's glory, not just our requests. As you listen, ask yourself: What memorial is God calling you to set up today so you'll stay focused on Him, abide in His presence, and learn to pray without ceasing? Prayer: Father, forgive me for forgetting to take the time to praise and adore You. You have been so faithful to me. Thank You for loving me and saving me. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds” (Psalm 77:11-12).

Have you ever found yourself running on empty—trying to hold everything together while quietly feeling like you’re falling apart? If so, you’re not alone. And today’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast was recorded with you in mind. In this honest and hope-filled conversation, I sit down with author and speaker Vivian Cumins to talk about burnout, breakdown, and the beautiful way God meets us right in the middle of it all. In her book Break Down Better, Vivian shares her personal story of striving, exhaustion, and a breaking point that ultimately became the doorway to deep healing and restoration. Together, we talk about why so many women feel overwhelmed, how perfectionism and control can keep us stuck, and what it looks like to surrender our lives back to the Lord—one step at a time. In this episode, you’ll discover:• The subtle warning signs of burnout you may be overlooking• Why rest is not selfish—it’s biblical• How surrender can lead to deeper freedom and peace• Practical ways to invite God into your everyday life• Encouragement for finding joy again, even in hard seasons If you’ve been feeling exhausted, discouraged, or stretched too thin, I pray this conversation reminds you of this simple but powerful truth: God is near, and He longs to restore what feels worn down in you. Friend, you don’t have to keep striving. You don’t have to carry it all. There is a better way—and it begins by turning back to Him. With love,Rachael P.S.

A Prior “Independence Day Devotional” as We Prepare to Celebrate Again - We Must Have a Great Spiritual Awakening that Returns America to God MESSAGE SUMMARY: Will you "Stand in the Gap" and participate in a Great Awakening and Spiritual Renewal in America? The signers of the Declaration of Independence, in 1776, began a revolution which led to the formation of the United States of America. This Revolution was rooted in the belief that all people are subject to the rule of God, even the King; and leaders are not above man's law or God's Law. Also, everyone is endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Many people have tried to deny that America's founders created a country which wove together the concept of self-governance with Christian principles. Now, it appears the focus, of many political and church leaders, is to eliminate ideas, laws, policies, and objects that relate America to Christianity, the Bible, or anything that smacks of God. Today, this focus away from God is succeeding. We all need to hear what our founders said regarding America's Christian base. Not long after the enactment of the Constitution in the late 1700s, morality and church attendance declined drastically into a Spiritual Depression. The answer to this 1700s turn away from God became the nationwide implementation of "Concerts of Prayer", across all Christian denominations, which led to an American Spiritual Awakening. Today, through our actions, laws, and cultural revisions of our founding Christian principles, we have told God that we do not want Him around. Therefore, we must consider what God said He would do and what He has done in the past when people have turned away from Him, as told in Psalms 2:1-2,5,10-12: “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed . . . Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying . . . Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.". In the past, as indicated in Psalms 2, God has withdrawn His presence, including His protection and divine wisdom, when people have turned away from Him. God's presence has guided America for so many years, and the withdrawal of God's presence in America would leave us to reap the consequences of our focus away from Him. Also, consider what the Lord said, in Ezekiel 22:30-31: "And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. Therefore, I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have returned their way upon their heads, declares the Lord God.”. However, in Zechariah 1:3 and in many other promises throughout the Bible, God says to his people in the past and to us today: “Therefore say to them, Thus declares the LORD of hosts: ‘Return to me', says the LORD of hosts, ‘and I will return to you', says the LORD of hosts.". Will you "Stand in the Gap”, on behalf of your country, to participate in and lead a Great Awakening and Spiritual Renewal in America by returning America to God? We must have a Spiritual Awakening to return America to God. TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I come this day inviting you to cut those deeply entrenched chains that keep me from being faithful to my true self in Christ. In doing so, may my life be a blessing to many. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 44). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Anger. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Forgiveness. “I am the vine; you are the branches.

Power Up:Matthew 12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 and if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad., King James VersionIn this episode of Seeing Without Seeing, we come together in prayer and faith to seek the Lord concerning the pressing issues affecting our world today.

In this transparent and deeply personal episode, Bobby shares a recent failure in his own life and how God met him in Psalm 51. Through David's repentance, he unpacks the powerful truth that our sin does not permanently stain us when it is brought under the cleansing power of Christ. This episode calls listeners to stop covering sin, to embrace God's compassion, and to experience full restoration—not just forgiveness, but renewed joy, spirit, and usefulness. Topics Discussed Honest confession and leadership transparency The difference between justice-based mercy and covenant compassion The meaning of “wash me” and “whiter than snow” Why sin is not a permanent stain for the believer The significance of hyssop and the Passover connection The role of the blood of Christ in cleansing and restoration Renewing a right spirit vs. living in discouragement or bitterness Restoration of joy and usefulness after failure The danger of covering sin and living with a “twisted” spirit Responding to conviction like David vs. resisting like Saul Key Takeaways You are not permanently stained by your sin—God can make you “whiter than snow.” True repentance appeals to God's love and relationship, not your worthiness. Cleansing is not just positional—it restores your joy, spirit, and usefulness. Feeling dirty after confession is a faith issue, not a forgiveness issue. A wrong spirit after sin is part of the problem God wants to fix. Covering sin compounds damage; confession opens the door to restoration. God restores you so you can be fruitful again, not just forgiven. If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

With images of a wedding feast, torn cloth, and new wine in new wineskins, Jesus reveals that His presence changes everything.

Living Water for Thirsty Souls | John 4In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well and offers her something far deeper than water—a life that truly satisfies.In this message, Teaching Pastor John Ciesniewski explores one of the longest and most intimate conversations Jesus has in the Gospels, revealing a Savior who lingers in places of pain, knows our stories completely, and offers living water to thirsty souls.This teaching invites us to consider:Where we've been drawing from wells that never satisfyHow Jesus meets us with compassion, not shameWhat it means to be truly known and deeply lovedHow encountering Jesus reshapes our lives and our missionIf you've ever felt weary, stuck, or caught in the in-between, this message is an invitation to stop running, come into the light, and receive the living water Jesus freely gives.
This service is a powerful reminder that God is doing a new thing in our nation and in our lives. Now is the time to recognize it, believe it, and receive it!
Pastors Caleb and Chrissy Cole share the Word for the Year for Project Church: Fresh Wind. From Acts 2 and the story of Pentecost, they call the church back to prayer, presence, and waiting on the Holy Spirit. This message teaches that before God moves us, He must first fill us, and that Fresh Wind softens hearts, renews passion, and aligns believers with God's mission. A call to enjoy God's presence, not just perform religion, and to make prayer the primary vision.

*(Note Part One of this episode)New Moon Lunar Cycle Themes: Expansion, Exploration, New Perspective through Wisdom, Spiritual Renewal. The conjunction of the Sun and Moon, “Dark Moon” part of the lunar cycle is powerful and focused as a portal toward immense changes on both a personal and collective level in 2026 This lunar cycle is especially impactful and meaningful because it is coupled with the winter Solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and the summer Solstice in the Southern hemisphere. The solstice energy is a messenger of truth, clarity and inner wisdom. It places tremendous emphasis on relinquishing the past, while trusting in the possibilities of the future which are yet unseen and unknown. This Moon offers both inner focus, and the opportunity to experience worldly experiences through connection to Cosmic Source. Guidance through trusting intuitive insights, from the well of personal inspiration, is the key for moving toward greater and higher vibrational consciousness.During this lunar cycle, the awareness of growth, expansion, plenty, and abundance are under major consideration. Even as we look out and observe the erroneous beliefs and falsehoods into the collective society, it's absolutely critical to dream one's own big dreams. The sign of Sagittarius is about believing in your own inner awareness and wisdom that connects with authentic understanding which supports dignity, respect, freedom and sovereignty for every person.This New Moon and Solstice connections are placing emphasis on listening to yourself. It is time to forge a personal path that does not rely on asking someone else what you “should” or need to do. The New Moon offers opportunity to gather awareness of new intentions, while the solstice's "return to light" energy is a gateway for deeper self-realization. Four Key Questions for 2026 DirectionWhat is your "Philosophy of Life"?How will you embrace your values and inspiration through intuitive awareness?How will you seek new meaning for yourself, as you envision experiences and possibilities that await you in the coming months?Are you willing to be the "Truth-teller", to be honest and open to the "Wisdom within yourself"?*Please enjoy Part Two of this episode: "Sound Alchemy" with Kathy H.

In today’s special year-end holiday episode, host Heather Creekmore welcomes author and speaker Cynthia Ruchti to the show for an uplifting conversation perfectly suited to the busy woman navigating the Christmas season. As the holidays approach, the to-do lists are long, and the “reason for the season” can easily get lost amid shopping, family obligations, and endless tasks. Heather Creekmore and Cynthia Ruchti encourage listeners to pause, ponder, and rediscover the wonder of Christmas, focusing on spiritual renewal rather than exhausting productivity. Together, they discuss Cynthia’s Christmas devotional, her insights on noticing God’s presence, embracing lingering and pondering, and shifting our attitudes to receive what God has truly prepared for us—even in the midst of chaos, disappointment, and the “distribution of labor” that often falls to women during the holidays. The episode is packed with relatable holiday circumstances, biblical reflections, real-life stories, and practical encouragement to rest in the joy, awe, and wonder that Christmas offers. Key Topics Discussed: Why slowing down and observing brings more spiritual refreshment than staying busy The power of “lingering”—with God, with loved ones, and in the moment God’s upside-down kingdom and the abundance found in trusting Him with our time and resources Noticing God in both the seen and the unseen aspects of the Christmas story The message of redemption woven throughout Scripture, from Isaiah to the nativity What holiday mishaps (yes, even broken goblets!) can teach us about perspective and joy Reframing holiday serving as a gift for ourselves, not just for others How to keep awe and wonder alive in our hearts, even when Christmas feels like another item on the checklist Practical encouragement for busy moms and grandmas feeling the holiday load Using Cynthia’s 26-day devotional for a richer, more intentional holiday season Resources & Links: Get Cynthia’s Christmas devotional book, Spirit of Christmas: Discovering His Presence (available on Amazon and hemmedinhope.com) *Amazon affiiate link, a tiny portion of your purchase will support this ministry.

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 podcast for November 9th, 2024. In today's episode, Hunter invites us into a thoughtful reflection on freedom, faith, and the journey of becoming who we are meant to be in Christ. We explore passages from Job 34 and 1 Corinthians 4 through 6, considering themes of justice, humility, and the transformative power of God's love. As Hunter leads us in prayer and meditation, we're reminded that true freedom is not autonomy, but living fully in the presence and design of God. We're encouraged to honor God not only with our words, but with our bodies and our lives. This episode is a soul-nourishing reminder of what it means to belong to God, to seek His kingdom, and to let His joy be our strength. Whether you're tuning in for a fresh start to your day or seeking wisdom for your spiritual walk, you'll find encouragement, challenge, and hope in today's episode. Let's join Hunter at the well of God's life-giving water and remember together: you are loved—no doubt about it. TODAY'S DEVOTION: You are free, my friend. But our freedom in Christ doesn't mean autonomy or abolition from all restraint on the self. No, it means that we are free in Christ. He has freed us to live in Him—the One who is the origin of our original design, the rock from which we have been hewn, the quarry from which we have come. And as we gaze upon him, we begin to see who we really are. The family resemblance begins to shine through, and we begin to honor God even in our bodies. May the Holy Spirit awaken our minds and our hearts to the reality of who we are and to whom we belong—that we might live to the praise and glory of the One who has set us free. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the 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.
