Pressure doesn't mean you're losing—it often means you're getting closer to breakthrough. The enemy doesn't waste his ammo on someone going nowhere. So if you're feeling pressed, stretched, or surrounded, it might just mean you're standing exactly where God wants you. Now the question is—will you stay there?Our springboard for today's discussion is:“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” — 1 Corinthians 16:13 (ESV)Paul wasn't writing a motivational slogan—he was delivering a command to the weary, the under fire, and the under pressure.Be watchful.Keep your eyes open. The enemy is subtle—he slips in through offense, temptation, busyness, even good things that distract you from God things.Stand firm.This isn't the time to retreat. When the pressure increases, the call isn't to run—it's to plant your feet. Faith doesn't mean you don't feel the weight. It means you don't collapse under it.Act like men.Be courageous. Show up when it's uncomfortable. Speak truth even when it costs you. Fight for your family, your faith, your future.Be strong.But not in your own strength. In the Lord's. In His might. When yours runs out, His keeps going.Here's the truth: pressure exposes where your faith is rooted. If your roots go deep, the storm may bend you—but it won't break you. And when you stand firm under pressure, you don't just survive—you witness. You show others what it looks like to remain when it would be easier to run.Question of the Day:Where are you tempted to give up under pressure—and what truth will you plant your feet on today?Mini Call to Action:Write out 1 Corinthians 16:13. Post it somewhere visible this week. Every time pressure rises, read it aloud and stay grounded.Let's Pray:Lord, strengthen me when pressure mounts. Help me to stand when I feel like sitting down, to believe when it's easier to doubt. I choose to hold the ground You gave me. In Jesus' name, amen.Let's Get To Work!Pressure doesn't define your faith—your stance does. Hold the line. God is with you.My Reasons To Believe is a reader-supported publication.

Standing firm in every storm: Established in Christ Jesus I The Standard | Pastor Sean Thomas

Dan Hayner, Pastor of Discipleship

This week's episode of CMDA Matters features a powerful message recorded live at our National Convention in Saint Louis. Former U.S. Senator, Kansas Governor, and Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, Sam Brownback, shares a heartfelt, humorous, and deeply convicting call to courage.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

In a culture that preaches tolerance (unless you're a Christian), how do we hold fast to our convictions without shrinking back? In today's episode, Lindsey Maestas unpacks the truth that the Gospel is offensive...and that's exactly why it saves. We're in a world facing a mental health crisis, a loneliness epidemic, and a deep spiritual emptiness. People are desperately searching for meaning, and yet, the one truth that could set them free is often silenced in the name of comfort or people-pleasing. Lindsey explores what it means to live boldly and compassionately, asking: What if we had said something? What if we had shown up before they spiraled? What if one hard conversation could have kept someone from self-harm or hopelessness? We can't live in the “what ifs.” The Gospel is meant to be shared; we were never called to water it down for our comfort. If we say we believe it, our actions have to reflect the truth we claim. But if we're speaking truth, our lives must follow the calling found in Scripture. You'll hear: Why the Gospel will always offend culture...and why that's good news. How our silence can cost someone their soul. What it means to live boldly in a post-Christian world. A reminder that truth without love is harsh, but love without truth is hollow.

Philippians 4:1-9 - Nick Swearingen

Sermon in a sentence: "Truth stands—so should you."Action Steps:Culture is always teaching—make sure your kids are learning truth from you.

On my walk to catch the train to work a few years ago, I saw a woman with a ferocious looking dog heading toward me. I grew up around pet dogs, so I’m usually not afraid of furry friends, but this one looked menacing. As the dog got closer, he barked at me. I tried to laugh it off. But then he lunged at me, so I screamed. Thankfully, the dog couldn’t harm me because he couldn’t reach me. His owner held on tightly to his leash. That scary encounter reminded me that as believers in Jesus, Satan is also “on a leash” but waiting to attack if we give him the opportunity. In 1 Peter, the apostle Peter warns us, “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (v. 8). He growls and snarls and lunges at us to try to scare and intimidate us and to paralyze us with fear, but we can stand firm in our faith and resist him (v. 9). When you feel the enemy taunting or tempting you, remember this: he’s no match for Jesus. We can cry out to Him and He’ll help us. He “will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast” (v. 10). When we’re under spiritual attack, we can choose faith over fear because Jesus is always with us.

Philippians: The Joyful Little Letter | Philippians 4:2-9 | Jeremiah Dennis Watch on YouTube

In 2 Thessalonians 2:10, Paul warns against rejecting the truth of the gospel, emphasizing that salvation is found in embracing Christ's teachings. Believers are challenged to discern influences in their lives and commit to grounding themselves in God's word to withstand deception. Loving the truth requires daily effort and faithfulness.

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! On today's episode, host Hunter steps in for Heather, who's under the weather, to lead us through day 139 of our journey in the Scriptures. Together, we'll explore the story of Solomon's request for wisdom in 1 Kings 3 and 2 Chronicles 1, reflect on God's faithfulness (and Israel's forgetfulness) in Psalm 78, and receive Paul's encouragement to the Thessalonians in 2 Thessalonians 2—not to be shaken or fooled, but to stand firm in the truth and grace of Christ. Hunter also offers heartfelt prayers and practical encouragement to stay grounded in God's love, even when life gets overwhelming. Let's dive deep into the Word and discover comfort, wisdom, and hope for today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Don't Be Shaken, Don't Be Fooled There is so much in life that can shake us—circumstances that feel out of control, relationships that wound and break, financial strains, physical pain, anxieties that mount and press on us till we're overwhelmed. All these things can leave us feeling uncertain, destabilized, and even in despair. In these moments, God can feel distant, and hope can seem just out of reach. But into the midst of our fears and confusion, we hear Paul's pastoral, fatherly voice to the church in Thessalonica: “Don't be shaken. Don't be fooled.” The early church struggled too. There were loud voices swirling; teachers with anxious warnings and convincing bravado who wanted the Thessalonian believers to think they were missing out, not doing enough, believing the wrong things, or soon to be left behind. How easy it is, then and now, to listen to those voices—to think that our relationship with God rests on some extra thing we must do, some spiritual secret we have to attain, or a hidden requirement we might have missed. But Paul cuts through all the noise. He reminds us that it is God who chooses us, God who acts first, God who carries out salvation. As he says, “Salvation came through the Spirit who makes you holy and through your belief in the truth.” We don't need to carry the burden of saving ourselves or climb higher to earn our place with God. Paul insists the good news is what God has done for us—and we simply receive it. We don't have to go out looking, chasing after some elusive experience. We don't have to strive and strain, wondering if we've done enough. Someone has already come looking for us. Someone has entered into our wilderness—into all our confusion and fear, all our striving and exhaustion—and offered us life. Because of what Christ has done, we now share in his glory, not by our own effort, but by his grace. So, don't be shaken. Don't be fooled. Instead, stand firm. Keep a strong grip on what is true—the teaching that God has drawn you into his life, that you are reconciled, you are loved, and you are securely held. Rest in the knowledge that he's the one who has taken hold of you, and he won't let you go. That's the prayer I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's the prayer I have for you. May we all stand firm in his love today. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Prayer Lord of heaven and earth, you have awakened us in your mercy once more. Still our anxious minds, quiet our striving hearts, and help us to rest in the knowledge that we are held by you. May we walk in step with your spirit today, not ahead, not behind, but beside you in trust and love. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. O God of all peoples, you formed every soul in your image and breathe life into every heart. Open the eyes of the nations, soften hearts grown cold, and teach us to live as neighbors and friends. Let your spirit move in power. Renew the face of the earth and usher in your reign of peace. Amen. And now, Lord, let me be a bearer of your peace. Where voices divide, let me speak grace where fear takes root. Let me plant trust where the world rushes on, let me walk with you. May I seek not to climb, but to kneel, not to win, but to love, not to grasp, but to give. For it is in emptying that we are filled, in surrender that we are strengthened, and in union with you that we find our truest joy. 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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
