Have you ever felt like you're showing up and doing all the “right” spiritual things -reading your Bible, praying, going to church - but inside you still feel flat, distant, or stuck? Maybe you've wondered why your faith feels dry even though you're trying so hard. If you've ever thought, “What's wrong with me?” or “Why can't I feel God like I used to?” you're not alone. In today's episode, I'm talking about spiritual stuckness - what it really means, why it happens, and how God often meets us right in those quiet, confusing places.

Got a question? Let us know!Made for Mondays | The Christmas PlaylistLight That Can't Be ManufacturedThis week on Made for Mondays, Heather is joined by Jamey, Tyler, and Doug as they lean into the heart of Christmas week and unpack Sunday's message about real joy and real light—the kind that doesn't come from a playlist, a purchase, or pretending everything is fine.After some weekend catch-up and reflections from Revelation 10–15, Psalms 145–157, and Proverbs 30, the conversation turns toward a timely and honest question:✨ What's the difference between manufactured cheer and received joy?As Christmas approaches, the group reflects on the ways we often try to produce joy—through nostalgia, noise, shopping, control, or even religious performance—when what we actually need is to receive joy as the fruit of abiding in Jesus. Jamey shares how Christmas music can sometimes feel like it's trying to convince our souls everything is wonderful, even when life feels dark.The discussion explores:• Chasing a mood vs. staying close to Jesus How do we tell when we're chasing a feeling instead of abiding in Christ? The group shares honest “litmus tests” that reveal when joy has become something we're forcing rather than receiving.• Darkness and light Jamey unpacks the idea that darkness isn't a thing—it's the absence of light. Spiritually, that shifts the battle. Instead of staring at darkness, we're invited to step toward the Light. What does that look like practically? The team offers simple, doable steps—like intentional prayer, confession, community, or a single act of obedience—that help move us closer to Jesus when gloom starts creeping back in.• Shining brighter in real life Rooted in Matthew 5, the BIG IDEA comes into focus: In a world getting darker, we need to shine brighter. Not performative faith—but quiet faithfulness. Reconciliation. Costly generosity. Staying at the table with people we disagree with. The group shares real-life examples of what that kind of light looks like when it shows up in everyday moments.• Light beyond our walls The conversation connects to The Gift and Believers' partners in Cuba, highlighting how faithful believers there are shining the Light of Jesus in powerful, practical ways—and why it's such a gift to be part of what God is doing through them.• Community in the dark seasons Jamey revisits a story from one of his darkest seasons, where isolation played a central role. Doug and Tyler reflect on how deeply they relate—and why community isn't optional for spiritual health. The group also points ahead to Steps and the importance of getting connected to a small group in the New Year.Join Us This Week

Sermon Series:  The Commercialization That Stole Christmas Sermon Title: It's catchy isn't it? Key Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Speaker: Andy Bratton Big Idea:  As Jesus came into the world in a Spiritually amazing way, we are called to live in a Spiritually amazing way. Luke 2:8 Luke 2:9-12 Luke 2:13-14 Luke 2:15-16 Luke 2:17-20 The differences: So… Nothing can steal Christmas from you.  But, the world will take it from you if you let it. The post It's catchy isn't it? appeared first on Kalkaska Church of Christ.

Presented by Melissa Heidy from the Parish of Christ the King in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 1 Samuel 1: 24-28; Rs psalm: 1 Sam 2: 1.4-5.6-7.8abcd; Luke 1: 46-56.PREPARATIONFOR BIRTH Our reflection today is entitled Preparation for Birth. The dayof the birth of Jesus Christ is very near. The most appropriate preparation forus is preparation for this birth. Our reflections over the past days haveprepared us for this very moment. Today we reflect on the birth of John theBaptist, who prepares the way for a birth far greater than his own. The twoinfants had already met in their mothers' wombs when the Virgin Mary visitedElizabeth. This meeting can be seen as a sign: John was born first to announceto the world that the birth of the Messiah would soon follow. Sacred Scripturetells us clearly that their births happened one after the other. The birth ofJohn the Baptist fulfills the prophecy of Scripture and God's plan. He wouldbecome a voice crying out in the wilderness, preparing the way for the comingof the Word. His birth also prepares the way for repentance and liberation fromdarkness, blindness, ignorance, and sin. This preparation begins with his ownfather, Zechariah, whose mouth was opened after a time of silence before hisson was born. The birth ofJohn the Baptist inspires us to be born anew before Christmas. Spiritually, weare called to be reborn. Our baptism is our new birth in Christ. Through thesacrament of Confirmation, we receive the Holy Spirit and are born in theSpirit. Each time we take part in the Eucharist, we receive new life as theWord of God becomes flesh. Our confession of faith in The Apostle's Creed, ourprayers and devotions strengthen our new life in Christ. All of these are meantto be lived faithfully and regularly. As Christmasis only a few days away, we should take time to reflect on our rebirth infaith. We remember how we have grown throughout this year. This renewal becomeslike a festive garment that clothes us, fills our minds and hearts, expressesour gratitude, and prepares us to be reborn.  It is rightand good for us to experience a beautiful encounter: an encounter with life. Weare reborn through the holy Church, through the eternal Word who became humanand was born of the blessed Virgin, and we enter the same Church. Let us pray. In the name of the Father… Merciful God, renewus by Your Spirit, so that we may be reborn and ready to welcome the birth ofJesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Hail Mary… In the name of the Father…

Symptoms of the Spiritually Successful | Brigham, UK | Svayam Bhagavan Keshava Maharaja by Wisdom That Breathes by Keshava Maharaja

Todaywe are continuing our study in Ephesians chapter 4, focusing specifically onverses 22 through 24. The Apostle Paul has been explaining that because we nowhave a new position in Christ as believers, we should no longer walk the way weonce did—or the way the Gentiles around us walk. In other words, the worldwalks one way, but we are called to walk differently. As believers in Christ,we should live differently, speak differently, and have a different attitude.Why? Because we are now in Christ. Paulexplains it this way in verse 22: We are to put off our former conduct—the oldman—which grows corrupt according to deceitful lusts. Then, in verse 23, we areto be renewed in the spirit of our minds. Finally, in verse 24, we are to puton the new man, which was created according to God in true righteousness andholiness. Whatdoes this mean? To put off the old man means that, as believers, weintentionally reject the sinful nature we inherited from Adam. The old self iscorrupted by deceitful desires, as Paul describes here in Ephesians. This isnot merely about changing bad habits; it is about our core identity beforeChrist. Prior to salvation, we were enslaved to sin. InColossians 3:1–11, Paul gives specific examples of the old life—immorality,greed, anger, and lying. These practices once defined us, but they lead tospiritual death and bring about God's wrath. Spiritually speaking, putting offthe old man is like taking off filthy clothes after a long, grimy day. It is adecisive act of faith. When we trusted Christ, our old self was crucified withHim. Paul teaches this clearly in Romans chapter 6. We do not reform the oldman—we put him off, because in God's eyes he is already dead. This truth bringsreal freedom as we choose righteousness. I encourage you to read Romans 6,because it reminds us that we are no longer enslaved to sin. We are now free tolive a righteous life as followers of Jesus Christ (Romans 6:11-18). Conversely,when we put off the old man, we are also called to put on the new man. Thismeans we actively embrace our new identity in Christ. The new self is createdin Christ's likeness and is renewed in mind, spirit, and life. Ephesians tellsus this new man is characterized by true righteousness and holiness. The bookof Colossians adds that this new self is renewed in the image of our Creator,where divisions such as race, background, or status fade away—because Christ isall and in all. As Paul says, “Where there is neither Greek nor Jew,circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christis all and in all.” (Colossians 3:9-11). Spiritually,putting off the old man is like taking off dirty clothes, and putting on thenew man is like being clothed with something entirely new. We do thisconsciously—daily, even moment by moment—remembering that Christ is our lifeand our all in all. When we practice this as we should, it becomes a lifestyleof godliness. As Brother Lawrence spoke of practicing the presence of God, wemight also say we are practicing holiness—choosing Christ over the flesh, overthe old ways. We choose to read the Word of God, to follow Him, to love Him, tolive for Him, and to witness for Him. Oh,my friend, when this becomes our reality, we are truly free—free to do what weought to do: to love the Lord and to live a life of holiness and righteousnessbefore Him. That is exactly what Paul is teaching us here: put off the old man,put on the new man, and live in freedom for the glory of God. MayGod bless you as you dedicate and consecrate your life to Him. As Romans 12:1–2reminds us, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by therenewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable andperfect will of God.” Godbless!

Today, in this special Christmas message, Pastor Jack teaches that God anticipates our every human need. We have air to breathe, seeds for food, and intimacy for conception. Spiritually, we are complete in God's Son Jesus when He took our sin and redeemed us through His death on the cross, His resurrection and His promise to come again.

We now come to the center of the message of Romans.  Romans 8:1 says, "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who[a] do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."In this sermon we examine the meaning and differences behind walking according to the flesh and walking according to the Spirit.

If you've been scrolling lately, you've probably noticed lots of comet chatter about 3I/ATLAS. What's all the bruhaha about and what does it mean for you? I’ll cut through the cosmic fluff and make this simple. If you want to attend the Free Winter Solstice event on Sunday, 12/21 at 4pm ET, RSVP here to let me know. What Is 3I/ATLAS? Let's start with the basics. 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar comet, meaning it's not from our solar system. It's a cosmic traveler cruising at over 100,000 miles an hour. It will make its closest approach to Earth around December 19, 2025, which means around 170 million miles away. So yes, it's rare and worth paying attention to. But physically? You're fine. Humanity is fine. The planet is fine. Now spiritually… this is where things get interesting. People Are Lit Up About This Comet Astronomers love it because it's only our third known interstellar visitor after ‘Oumuamua and Borisov. But the spiritual community is lit up because of the timing, the symbolism, and the energetic ripples many intuitives are already feeling. Channelers are comparing notes. Astrologers are cross-referencing charts. Energy sensitives have that familiar “something's shifting” hum inside their chest. Think of 3I/ATLAS as a celestial tuning fork drifting through our sky, humming just enough that the sensitive folks among us feel the vibration before it even arrives. Many spiritual teachers call it a light-packed traveler carrying clarity, recalibration, and what some describe as “reset frequency.” Not in a dramatic destruction way, but in a gentle, rebalancing way. Think of it as the energetic version of straightening your crown and realigning your inner compass. It's as if the Universe is whispering, “Time to recalibrate.” What Does the Comet Offer? Potentially, so many good things come with this comet including, an inner reset, energetic balance, heightened intuition, a return to your aligned Self, and all sorts of positive upgrades in how you sense and navigate the world. The most important point, in my opinion? Nothing is happening to you because you're not a victim of 3I/ATLAS. Instead, you're being invited to partner with it. Symbolic Meaning Hidden in the Name Now let's discuss the metaphysics for a moment because “3I/ATLAS” is full of symbolic goodies. According to numerology, “3” is about creation. think of the cycle of birth, death, rebirth. It's the number that says something new is coming. Then the letter “I” points to intuition, identity, insight, and the observing Self. Put these together and you get creation plus consciousness. A cosmic reminder that you are not a passive passenger in your own life. You're a co-creator! What about “3rd Eye + Atlas” The third eye is your intuitive center, your inner vision, your ability to sense truth without proof. Atlas is the top vertebra that holds your head, the mythological guardian who carried the world, and the name we give to global maps. Suddenly 3I/ATLAS becomes a message about higher perception, energetic support, nervous-system alignment, and carrying a new level of awareness in the body. That's the kind of upgrade I can get behind. Why the Timing Matters Astronomically, the closest approach is December 19, 2025. Spiritually, many view the full 12/18–12/19 window as an energetic corridor. It’s a moment when life pauses just long enough for you to feel the subtle shift before the next level loads. And let’s not forget that 2025 is a nine year according to numerology, which is all about completion. Things naturally fall away, resolve, or wrap up. So the timing of this comet is pretty synchronistic, don’t you think? How Might 3I/ATLAS Affect You? • Clearer intuition • Emotional clearing • Heightened sensitivity • A desire to rest • Sudden clarity about what's ending • Fresh inspiration This comet is giving you time to ask yourself important questions such as: “Are your actions matching your intentions?” “Are you living as the person you say you want to be?” “What truth are you finally ready to honor?” The good news is there’s no judgment or no punishment, only clarity. Balance Masculine & Feminine Energy Another theme connected to 3I/ATLAS is the balancing of masculine and feminine energy, which are the divine polarities within you. Think of these opposites: • Drive and receptivity • Action and restoration • Doing and being • Protecting and allowing • Structure and flow When one side dominates, imbalance shows up in your body, your choices, your relationships. The comet's energy highlights what needs attention, like sunlight revealing dust on the bookshelf you swear was clean yesterday. Now don’t think 3I/ATLAS will do the shift for you, but it helps you see where the shift is ready and waiting. It shines clarifying light into your world, so you can make the upgrade and let your divine feminine rise. How to Work With the 12/18 Portal The practices don't need to be dramatic or ceremonial. Let them be simple: 1. Conduct a gentle review of the past year and ask: What is ending? What no longer resonates? What feels ready to be reborn? 2. Balance your masculine and feminine. When you take action, then be sure to rest. If you move, then afterwards stretch. Honor both your fire and your flow. 3. Third-eye alignment. You might try light meditation, intuitive journaling, or placing one hand on your heart and the other on your belly, while breathing slowly. 4. Neck and Atlas stretches. Consider chin tucks, shoulder rolls, gentle neck tilts. Tell your body, “I'm ready to carry awareness with ease.” or “Thank you for all that you do for me, I love you.” 5. Grounding. Take a slow walk outside in nature and pay attentionto your surroundings. Send roots down into the earth to connect with Mother Earth and everything she embodies. Then allow that energy to rise into you feet and up through all your chakras. So nourishing! What’s the Real Message of 3I/ATLAS Here's the bottom line. There's no dramatic upheaval coming. Instead, this comet acts as a reminder to say you're evolving, awakening, and rebalancing. And the good news is that the Universe is supporting every step. Think of this event as a powerful invitation to trust and strengthen your intuition, allow your divine feminine energy to rise and feel vibrantly alive and aligned. It's a gentle guide with impeccable timing. Cosmic synchronicity at its finest. As 3I/ATLAS moves through our sky on 12/18 and 12/19, take a moment to choose what this means for you. The power isn't out there in the sky or anywhere outside yourself. It's in you. It is you. 3I/ATLAS simply arrives at the perfect moment to help you remember your truth, your path, and your power. Are you ready to embrace what's next? I sure hope so!

In this episode, author and Barna senior fellow Mark Matlock unpacks new research on the rapidly growing number of “spiritually curious” Americans. He explains why many assumptions about the unchurched no longer hold, what today's seekers are actually longing for, and how curiosity—not hostility—is shaping their questions about meaning and purpose. Mark also explores why many Christians prefer certainty over curiosity and why creating space for honest questions is essential to healthy discipleship.He also offers practical guidance for churches navigating this cultural shift. Mark shows why evangelism today is a long-game, relational journey and why building a “curiosity-friendly” church culture means rethinking attractional models, prioritizing spiritual formation, and making room for real relationships. Throughout the conversation, he offers hope for church leaders: people are more open to spiritual conversations than we realize, if we're willing to slow down, listen well, and enter their stories with genuine curiosity.

Are You Spiritually Exhausted? | Pastor Todd Coconato    Website: www.PastorTodd.org   To give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give   Are you spiritually exhausted, weary in well doing, or feeling like your fire has been dimmed in this intense hour. On today's Todd Coconato Show we are talking about how to fight spiritual exhaustion and be refreshed in the presence of the Lord. The Bible tells us, “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (Galatians 6:9 NKJV). Jesus invites us, “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28 NKJV). Isaiah reminds us that God “gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength” (Isaiah 40:29 NKJV), and that those who wait on the Lord “shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV).   We are going to talk about how to cast your cares on Him, how to be filled again with the Holy Spirit, and how to stand strong in this challenging season without burning out. This is a word for you today. Tune in right now.

The holidays promise joy and togetherness but for many couples, they also bring stress, busyness, and mismatched expectations. In this episode, we're helping you slow down, reconnect, and approach the season with intention. We talk honestly about why couples often drift spiritually and emotionally in December and offer simple, realistic ways to stay grounded in Christ and connected to each other. From aligning holiday expectations to creating meaningful traditions, you'll walk away with practical tools to cultivate peace, gratitude, and unity in your marriage. Whether this season feels exciting or overwhelming, this conversation will help you not just survive the holidays—but truly thrive together.   Episode Highlights: The holidays can magnify an already existing disconnect. When Christ isn't the center of the holidays and your marriage, both will suffer. True joy doesn't come from a full schedule. Quotes from Today's Episode: When we take our eyes off the true reason for Christmas—Christ—we get caught up in the world's chaos.  Don't abandon what nourishes your soul just because life gets hectic. The habits that sustain you all year are even more vital during the holidays. Keep your year-round rhythms strong—pray together, make time to communicate, and carve out quiet moments as a couple amid the December rush. Acts of generosity spark joy and deepen your connection. Intentionality is everything—if you aren't purposeful, the busyness will steal your time and memories.  Release the pressure to do it all—focus on what brings true joy to your family. Give yourself permission to let go of traditions that drain you, making room for new ones—or simply space to rest, bake cookies, and enjoy music by the tree.   Couple's Conversation Guide: 1. Which part of the holidays tends to be most stressful for each of us, and why? 2. Is there a simple spiritual practice we could commit to together this December?   3. Where do our expectations differ when it comes to gifts, gatherings, travel, or downtime? 4. What new tradition could we create this year that fits who we are as a couple right now?

In this episode of Concepts and Conversations, Coach Bryan sits down with vocalist, entrepreneur, and relationship thinker Jazmin Crumley for a deeply honest, faith-centered conversation about love, readiness, and purpose.Jazmin opens by naming what she believes is the core problem in many modern relationships: selfishness. Most people enter relationships thinking, “What can this person do for me?” instead of, “How can I serve and out-love this person?”She explains why truly healthy relationships are rooted in selflessness, mutual service, and the daily decision to “compete in out-loving one another.”From there, Bryan and Jazmin unpack:How relationships act as mirrors, exposing our character, immaturity, and unhealed placesWhy many men feel “pressure” when they meet a good woman who truly loves, supports, and believes in themThe difference between men with untapped potential and men with working potentialHow a good woman can become a “multiplier” in a man's life when he treats her wellJazmin vulnerably shares her own dating experiences—being told repeatedly, “I've never been loved like this,” yet still hearing, “I'm not ready, you deserve better, I don't want to waste your time.” She also talks about being labeled a “fixer” and how constantly pouring into wounded men taught her to guard her own emotional health so she does not bleed out trying to heal everyone else.The conversation then turns to money, security, and masculinity. Drawing from her parents' story—her stepfather going from school custodian to principal—Jazmin explains why she's never demanded a certain dollar amount, but does require a man to have purpose, work ethic, and some level of financial stability so he is not projecting insecurity onto her. Money matters, she says, because of what it does to many men internally, not because she worships income.Spiritually, they wrestle with a big question:Does God choose your spouse, or do you choose and God blesses it?Jazmin shares her belief in God's “perfect will,” alignment, and both people needing to be on the right path to even meet. Bryan reflects on his first marriage, how moving too fast and ignoring warnings shaped his views, and what he's doing differently now as he prepares to remarry.To close, Jazmin speaks directly to the person torn between pursuing purpose and playing it safe with a “regular life.” She goes back to Proverbs: “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart…” and urges listeners not just to chase dreams or fame, but to chase God's purpose—trusting that obedience, sacrifice, and submission will lead them where they're meant to be, in love and in life.You'll hear about:Selfish vs. selfless relationshipsLoving a wounded man without losing yourselfMoney, confidence, and why some men struggle with strong womenLong-distance love, divorce, healing, and readiness for covenantPurpose, calling, and trusting God with timing

When we crossed the line and came into new life with Christ we became a new creature. We're united with Christ in a way that transcends our real ability to understand. We died with Christ, we were raised up with Christ, we received a whole new spiritual nature, we put off that old life, we put on the new life; we won the lottery! Spiritually speaking we did! And so the bible is telling us redeem it! Act upon it! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1170/29?v=20251111

In this lecture, we explore the concept of spiritual heedlessness (ghaflah) in Islam and emphasise staying spiritually aware by remembering Allah through Quran recitation, prayer, good company, and practical daily habits that keep us focused on our purpose.

I am officially Orthodox/ possibly slightly mystical and Spiritually minded personified for practical purposes mildly Nepolionic but simple and discreet to cause no qualms with ultrauserpification potential perceptions or hopfully not realities remedied by eventual devotion that I am pursuing forth with regardless. Fresh Calvery charge on horseback sometime in history would make this very possible in a deeper reality that I'm sure has been Providence of God leading heroic action and following the prince of peace who fully submersed and will fully submerse me and my family. I am saved and being saved rightfully and in order as much as The Lord Jesus's heart and mind will submit to the great I Am here and now. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen Silence in Christ. Amen and Amen. Shalom

Segment 1 • You can sit under “expository preaching” and still starve spiritually if it never aims for your heart. • Teaching the text without any application turns sermons into lectures. • Some preachers have settled for mere information over true transformation. Segment 2 • Paul Washer calls out sermons that inform the mind but leave eternity untouched. • If your pastor doesn't plead with you about heaven and hell, souls are in danger—including yours. • True preaching doesn't just explain verses—it confronts sin and stirs obedience. Segment 3 • “Cleverneutics” makes Scripture say theological novelties. • If a teacher always sounds innovative, you should be on your guard. • Word games and cleverness oftentimes obscure straightforward, biblical truth. Segment 4 • Some pastors distort Scripture with “creative” theology instead of submitting to it. • Answers in Genesis reminds us: Christianity isn't about novelty—it's about time-worn truths that save. • The danger isn't just bad sermons, but loss of confidence in the truth of Scripture. ___ Thanks for listening!

This week on The Zen Effect Show, Ep. 172…We're going deeper than “protect your peace” and stepping into the real work of energetic responsibility. I'm having a rich conversation with Shamanic healer Kady Morgan. We are discussing the truth that most people don't want to acknowledge.

The Western financial system is full of interest that ruins so many lives and ultimately ruins our afterlife as well. But what if there was a way to leave the system and build your wealth in an ethical and spiritually clean way?

Many Christians around the West are perplexed by the times they are living in. Things at work, at school, on their streets –they're just not the same as what they grew up with. Spiritually things are downgraded. The same holds true for the culture in general, which is now hostile to the Christian faith and biblical morals.So much of this is new and alien. Many Christians have no clue how they should respond. What can they do themselves? And what can they say or do to help their kids? Frustration is growing, along with anxiety, fear and anger.How can Christians prepare to stand – and help the Church stand – in days of darkness? How can believers brace themselves for trials, and maybe even open persecution, in the days ahead.To help answer these questions, Andy Coleman sharesfive tips that ordinary Christians can use today to strengthen themselves spiritually for pressures tomorrow. These five tips borrow from his experiences working with persecuted Christians in some of the most difficult countries on earth. Inthose lands, the persecution climate is mature, but in many way similar to the milder but growing pressures in the West.These insights are drawn from a book authoredby Andy Coleman and published earlier this year. In Days of Darkness: A Manual for Ordinary Christians Facing Unusual Times is a book focused on helping believers prepare themselves, their families and their churches for tougher times.You can order copies of In Days of Darkness: A Manual for Ordinary Christians Facing Unusual Times at Barnes andNoble, Walmart, Target or wherever you find your favorite books.If you found this episode helpful, please give us a positive rating and review wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts.

Christmas is here—and this sermon invites us to slow down and remember why it matters. From Ephesians 2:1–2, we explore the honest reality of our spiritual deadness apart from Christ and the breathtaking hope that Advent announces. Like skeletons wrapped in holiday cheer, we can appear alive while carrying deep inner emptiness...but Jesus steps into our lifelessness to breathe life, hope, and rescue.   If you're longing for a grounded, meaningful start to the Christmas season, this message shows the true wonder of Christ entering our darkness and making all things new.

The Christian walk is like a wide receiver running a route in football. The defensive back's goal is to jam the receiver at the line and knock him off his route. Spiritually, the enemy tries to do the same - using distraction, doubt, temptation, and discouragement. Believers must study the spiritual playbook (God's Word) just like a receiver studies his playbook to know the routes. Studying the Word builds confidence and prepares you for when the enemy attacks early. Scripture and prayer are the spiritual “hand moves” that help you break free from pressure. Keep your eyes on Jesus - the ultimate Quarterback - and run the route He designed. The enemy may slow you down, but he cannot stop you if you stay disciplined and stay in the Word. Core message: Don't let the devil jam you at the line. Keep running your God-given route.

Segment 1 • Modern culture has made “safety” its idol; every discomfort is treated like trauma. • Scripture flips the script: danger isn't just outside - it's inside you. • If your biggest threat is the outside world, you'll live in fear. If it's your own heart, you'll run to Christ. Segment 2 • “Safety-based” psychology is invading schools; students are learning to pathologize conviction. • Polyvagal Theory (born 1994) ignores man's spiritual nature—an anthropological train wreck. • The Bible says transformation comes by renewing the mind, not regulating vagus nerves. Segment 3 • The real concern is kids weaponizing therapy language against parents. • Britain officially affirms cousin marriage—a symbol of moral decay in the West. • Even theologians like N.T. Wright drift from biblical authority, showing the slope is real. Segment 4 • Cousin marriage bans once built Western civilization—now they're being reversed. • Germany's “polyandrous priestess” and IVF jewelry reveal what happens when sacredness dies. • The decline isn't just weird—it's spiritual rot disguised as progress. ___ Thanks for listening!
