In this powerful episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded backstage at the Refuel Conference at Thomas Road Baptist Church, Dr. Zach Clinton and cohost Joshua Broome sit down with Pastor Gary Hamrick — Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia. Gary has faithfully led Cornerstone from a small group of believers to a thriving congregation of thousands. His ministry sits at a unique cultural crossroads, just outside Washington, D.C., giving him a front-row seat to the intersection of faith, culture, and government. Over the years, Gary has become a trusted voice on religious liberty, biblical truth, and courageous leadership in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. In this conversation, Gary shares his heart for revival and renewal, unpacking why gatherings like Refuel are vital for weary ministry leaders. He offers insight into what he’s seeing in the flock — from mental health struggles and spiritual discouragement to growing cultural hostility toward Christianity — and provides deeply biblical encouragement for overcoming discouragement in ministry through Psalm 42. His voice is both a pastoral encouragement and a prophetic challenge for the Church to rise with courage and conviction in this cultural moment.

There's more going on in that infamous Republicans groupchat than most realize but the real issue isn't the gossip, it's how easily people trade conviction for comfort. In this episode, we talk about the growing weakness on the Right, the danger of valuing offense over free speech, and why all of our rights must be protected at all costs. We'll also cover more updates on the Charlie Kirk case and how Trump's failures in his second term (including his refusal to release the Epstein list and his submission to Israel) prove that no man should ever be placed where only God belongs.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
Spiritual warfare isn't always obvious. Temptation doesn't always look like something terrible. Often it's disguised as something good taken too far. So how do you stand firm when the battle comes to you? In this message, Pastor Mike teaches you that one powerful verse from Ephesians 6 reveals how to prepare for “the day of evil” so that when it comes—not if, but when—you'll be ready to stand your ground and fight the good fight of faith.

In this heartfelt episode of The MisFitNation Show, host Rich LaMonica sits down with Georgia Livingston and her daughter Sam for a powerful discussion about resilience, family, and the strength to keep going through life's toughest challenges. Georgia and Sam open up about their journey as a mother and sister of Rick Livingston standing strong through adversity, sharing what it means to find faith, healing, and purpose while navigating the realities of family, justice, and community after Rick was falsely accused and wrongfully convicted. He was sentenced to 17 years at Fort Leavenworth. Their story is a moving reminder that even in the darkest moments, love and service can light the way forward.
In this eye-opening message, Pastor Lucas Miles reveals how the modern progressive agenda—transhumanism, gender ideology, radical feminism, and even environmentalism—are all fueled by the same ancient, spiritual deception.Drawing from Hegel, Marx, and early feminist thought, Pastor Lucas traces the philosophical and theological roots of today's cultural revolution—showing how a Marxist-pagan worldview seeks to dethrone God and make humanity its own god.Through biblical insight and historical clarity, he contrasts this counterfeit “utopia” with the true hope of the Gospel: that only Christ's return can make all things new.

Connect with me here! Send me a text message! Do you ever wake up in the morning and not feel like a Christian(maybe cause of shame or guilt or just plain humanness lol) Or maybe you don't want to spend time with God or in His word? These FEELINGS are normal BUT we have the power to overcome those feelings and not give into them. To put faith into action and not let our feelings win. Let's talk about this. Some times I don't want to workout but I know that I should or sometimes I just want to eat sugar and snacks all day but ultimately i know this isn't beneficial to me and won't give me the results I want in my mental or physical well being. The same is true for our spiritual health! We have to get in the same mindset we would have when taking care of our physical bodies. Not giving in to our flesh and eating a carton of cookies but instead eating one cookie and then going for a walk lol Not indulging in a huge bowl of ice cream every night because you ‘deserve it' after a hard day but instead choosing some fruit and then maybe a bowl at the end of the week. Spiritually speaking not indulging in our laziness of not wanting to put the work into our relationship with God because we are tired or don't feel like it but instead pushing through and reminding ourselves of the benefits of faith over feelings!When I looked up ‘faith over feelings' the google said this- "Faith over feelings" means prioritizing trust in God's word and promises over relying on one's fluctuating emotions.Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:7 – "For we live by faith, not by sight."Feelings are real but not final. Emotions can be indicators but not decision-makers.- Emotions are unreliable.Quote on blog I read- ‘So many people live their lives completely controlled by their feelings. Every decision, reaction, and even their identity is shaped by how they feel in the moment. The problem is, our feelings are unstable, unreliable, and often flat-out wrong. They're not meant to be the compass guiding our lives'2)Have to learn to TRUST God and his plan- let go and give God the reins- God's word is truth-- The world will tell you to follow your heart, trust your gut, and live by your truth. But if your feelings are your guide, you'll always be tossed around by whatever circumstance you face. One moment you're happy and confident, and the next you're overwhelmed by insecurity and doubt. That's why feelings can't be your foundation. God must be.3) Speak truth over emotion. Use scripture to realign your heart when your feelings lie.We, as women, are emotional creatures. Its a gift from God cause we are tender hearted and we love and care deeply. There are sooo many good things to this BUT it can also be a weakness if we let our emotions run wild. Lol 4) Anchor in God's character. Faith grows as you rehearse & remember who God is, no onlyt what you feel.Faith is a choice!✨Come hang with me on IG- https://www.instagram.com/mrsangelapitnikoff/✨Join our FB sisterhood!- https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdomdaughterssisterhood✨Want some fun free resources?

Anger and frustration are everywhere—and if you’re honest, they’ve probably taken hold of you too. Compromise becomes the easy path, but it always leads to weakness, regret, and distance from God. In this episode of "Courageous Christianity with Richard Mendelow," host Colonel Richard J. Mendelow (Ret) and Pastor Steve Dennis, Courageous Christianity’s ministry pastor, address the real struggle Christian men face when the world pushes anger and excuses compromise. They talk about how the world twists your heart and mind, why accountability matters, and how the Truth of God gives you strength to stand. If you’ve been wrestling with frustration, compromise, or the weight of the world, this conversation will call you back to integrity and real faith in the real world.

Today's episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson is a carefully crafted full-on rant about two awful cultural failures, Donald Trump and Taylor Swift. Both, in their own ways, are failing the next generation and pushing the normalization of pedophilia. Trump refuses to release the Epstein list or hold powerful pedophiles accountable. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift flaunts her naked body on her album cover marketed to an audience that includes young girls who are already being tempted by a society pushing them toward OnlyFans. Feminism has clearly failed. We need to bring back the biblical patriarchy, AKA Christianity.At some point, we have to stop asking why is all of this happening and start living biblically individually, in our families, and as a society. For the sake of our own wellbeing and (far more importantly) the protection of our children. If we can't even agree to safeguard their innocence, what are we doing? Why aren't we protecting the children?--https://bakerbookhouse.com/featured/the-brand-sunday

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, President Trump is neither an isolationist nor an appeaser, unlike critics like Chatsworth Osborne Jr. (Tucker Carlson), who push confused ideologies. Trump transformed the Republican Party, but he and his supporters reject isolationism, which would mean yielding to Iran's terrorist regime that threatens the U.S. and its allies. Pacifist and unilateral disarmament policies, particularly opposing Israel's moves against Iran's nuclear program, are to be condemned. What is the isolationist's plan to deal with Iran? They don't have one. Also, Daily Wire's Ben Shapiro calls in to address criticisms from Isolationists claiming to represent the MAGA movement, who oppose U.S. involvement in Israel's conflict with Iran. These groups misrepresent MAGA, as Trump has consistently opposed the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), criticized Iran's ballistic missile program, and supported Israel and Saudi Arabia against Iranian aggression. Most Americans, especially Republicans, support Israel's actions against Iran. Later, WABC's Sid Rosenberg called in to express his strong support for Israel's military actions against Iran, crediting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's leadership and asserting that Trump gave the "green light" for the operation. Rosenberg recounted a conversation with Trump two months prior, where he suggested Iran needed to "feel pain," and now views Israel's strikes as a response to Iran's non-compliance with a 60-day deadline. The Trump-Netanyahu partnership is a historic "one-two punch" for the U.S. and Israel. Afterward, Ambassador Michael Leiter calls in with an update on Israel's strike on Iran. He reports that Israel has eliminated key IRGC leadership. The operation also destroyed much of Iran's military leadership, ground-to-air defenses, the Natanz uranium enrichment plant, and a nuclear fuel conversion center, significantly disrupting Iran's nuclear weapons program.
