Podcasts about sufficient

This week in our All Sufficient series, Pastor John Durham preached a message from Romans 3, reminding us that both the rebellious and the religious stand guilty before God and are equally in need of His grace. John showed that while the law exposes our sin, it cannot save us; salvation comes only through the righteousness of Christ, received by faith as a gift of God's grace.

This is a spiritual podcast that is launched into the reality of the daily struggles of provision that each of us face.We have real needs in real time. "Give us this day, our daily bread."That is: give me the bread sufficient for the day so I can be sufficient to the day.https://youtu.be/3V2XbBsBGHQ

Original Post Date: June 22, 2024 === Gospel Matthew 6:24-34 Jesus said to his disciples: "No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith? So do not worry and say, 'What are we to eat?' or 'What are we to drink?' or 'What are we to wear?' All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.” Reflection It's interesting how many people base their relationship on God by how quickly and how effectively he answers their prayers. Jesus says, pray and I will give you whatever you ask. But you know and I know that what that means is that we have in God the one who will be there for us always. He will always be what we need, but not necessarily what we think we need or what we want. So along with this beautiful promise of abundance in our life, there is still things that we would call not what we want. Evil things. Things that break down. Things that don't work. And you can't live in the kingdom without accepting both the fullness of that kingdom and the times when we feel that it's empty and not enough. Closing Prayer Father, we ask for wisdom. We don't always know what to pray for, what to ask for, how to deal with the things going on in our life. But if we are filled with you, your Spirit living in us is the spirit of wisdom, and it's there to enable us to give in to everything that you ask of us, and to rejoice in what is good and what is not. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Read Online“So do not worry and say, ‘What are we to eat?' or ‘What are we to drink?' or ‘What are we to wear?' All these things the pagans seek. Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.” Matthew 6:31–34In the fifth century, Saint Augustine wrote The City of God, one of the most important works in Catholic thought and Western philosophy. In it, he contrasted the Christian “City of God” with the pagan “City of Man,” responding to those who blamed Christianity for the decline of the Roman Empire. He writes: “Thus, two cities have been formed by two loves: the earthly city by a love of self to the point of contempt for God, and the heavenly city by a love of God to the point of contempt for self. The former glories in itself, while the latter glories in the Lord.” (XIV.28)At the time, the once-mighty Roman Empire was in steady decline, and many falsely attributed its downfall to the rise of Christianity. Augustine, however, defended the faith, offering a profound theological and philosophical exposition of history, divine providence, and the ultimate destiny of humanity. By contrasting these two fundamental orientations of civilization—the City of Man, built on self-love and earthly glory, and the City of God, founded on divine love and eternal truth—Augustine illuminated the true path to human flourishing and salvation.Augustine's words echo Christ's teaching in today's Gospel, offering clarity and encouragement to the faithful of his time who labored to build up the growing Catholic Church. Today, his insights remain just as relevant, guiding the Church amid a world increasingly consumed by materialism and secular values.Which “city” is more attractive to you? If we are to truly build the City of God—or the Kingdom of God, as Jesus calls it—we must remain vigilant against the many secular influences that pull us away from the Gospel and the work of building God's Kingdom.As Jesus teaches, the pagans seek and worry about the things of this world, often at the expense of what is eternal. Yet our Heavenly Father knows our needs, and so we must cultivate an interior disposition of trust in His providence. While we are called to act responsibly, providing diligently for ourselves and our families, we must ultimately recognize that it is God who sustains us when we cooperate with His will. We must do so without fear.Jesus does not condemn responsible stewardship of material goods; rather, He warns against worldly anxiety. As a fundamental disposition, we must always “seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.” When we do so, “all these things will be given you besides.” In other words, if our greatest love is to build God's Kingdom in our hearts, our families, and our society, we can trust that He will provide for our needs, freeing us to focus entirely on His divine work.Jesus concludes today's Gospel with consoling words: “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.” This is not a license for imprudence or irresponsibility, as if we are called to live a carefree life without foresight. Rather, it is an invitation to trust in divine providence, living in confidence that when our primary concern is God and His will each day, He will provide for our needs in due measure.Reflect today on whether you truly “seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness.” The best way to discern this is to prayerfully examine the deepest desires of your heart. When your desire is for God's Kingdom, you will experience peace and interior order. When your heart clings to worldly concerns, you will be anxious and burdened by many things. Strive to order your desires properly, and God will lavish upon you all that is good and necessary for a joyful participation in the glorious and eternal City of God.Most glorious King, You came to establish Your Kingdom in our hearts, our families, and our world. Too often, I fail to recognize its glory and instead labor to build an earthly city of passing pleasure, wealth, and comfort. Draw me ever closer to You, Lord, and open my eyes of faith, that I may seek only Your will and become a true instrument of the Kingdom You desire to establish. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Jesus at the Sermon on the Mount, by August MüllerSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

This week in our All Sufficient series, Pastor John Durham preached from Romans 2, reminding us that both the rebellious and the religious are equally in need of God's grace. He challenged us to stop comparing ourselves to others and defending our own sin, recognizing that salvation is not found in religious knowledge or performance, but in the righteousness of Christ alone.

In this sermon we explore where the feeding of the 4000 took place and how it shows that Jesus is Jehovah Jireh. It challenges us to trust Jesus for all our needs but especially our spiritual hunger and thirst.

In Romans 15:22-33, Paul opens a window into his philosophy of ministry and his submission to God's sovereign direction. Through he desired to visit the believers in Rome, God's timing when plans are delayed, remain faithful to the mission God has given them, and submit to His will even when the future is uncertain. This message challenge Christians to follow the Leader-God Himself-Regardless of their desires, plans, or trials, trusting that His Presence is Sufficient as He directs Their Lives.

Most people keep faith in one box and real life in another. Colossians 3:18 to 4:6 refuses that split. Christ's authority presses into your marriage, your parenting, your workplace, and your conversations at a school party. Wives voluntarily submit; husbands lay down their lives in self-giving love modelled on Jesus. Children obey; parents avoid crushing their kids' hearts. Even the ancient master-slave relationship gets quietly undermined when both sit under the same heavenly Lord. Prayer stays expectant. Speech stays gracious and winsome. The king who died to serve you now shapes how you treat every person you encounter. Bible Reference: Colossians 3:18–4:6 Preacher: Ben Fien

HEALTH NEWS   Ginger Supplementation Reduces Muscle Soreness, Review Finds Artificially sweetened and sugar-sweetened beverage intake and risk of liver cancer Plant-based quinoa burgers reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes Sleep and exercise may curb heart risk from mutant white blood cells Pregnant women may reduce key health risk through less sitting, more light exercise     Ginger Supplementation Reduces Muscle Soreness, Review Finds Old Dominion University, June 4 2026 (Natural News)     A review published in Nutrition Reviews found that consuming 2 grams of ginger daily for 11 consecutive days before exercise reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by 23% to 25%.   The review examined multiple placebo-controlled studies and found that single doses taken just before exercise did not produce significant pain reduction, but consistent daily intake over the 11-day period yielded measurable results.   DOMS typically occurs 24 to 72 hours after exercise and is a common reason individuals skip subsequent workouts. In two placebo-controlled studies reviewed, participants consumed 2 grams of either raw or heat-treated ginger daily for 11 days before performing eccentric exercise, which lengthens muscles under tension. The effective dose identified in the review was 2 grams per day, roughly equivalent to one teaspoon of fresh grated ginger.   Artificially sweetened and sugar-sweetened beverage intake and risk of liver cancer Yale University, National Cancer Institute, Boston University, June 10 2026 (Eurekalert) Are artificially sweetened beverage (ASB) and sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intakes associated with risk of liver cancer overall and by subtype (hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC] and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma [ICC])? In this pooled analysis of 11 prospective cohort studies comprising 1,518,411 adults, SSB intake per 1-beverage/day increment was associated with increased risk of HCC and ICC, whereas ASB intake was not associated with liver cancer overall or by subtype. There was no evidence of effect modification by diabetes status.     Plant-based quinoa burgers reduce post-meal blood sugar spikes Federal University of Golas (Brazil), June 10 2026 (News-Medical) A study published in ACS Nutrition Science suggests that a plant-based burger made from baru pulp and red quinoa could reduce post-meal blood glucose responses in healthy adults. Red quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a pseudocereal that is rich in protein, fiber, and micronutrients. It provide spolyphenols that have been shown to slow gastric emptying and overall digestion, and may reduce enzymatic degradation of carbohydrates in the gut. This would influence the rate at which glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream after a meal, altering the GI. The authors of this pilot study examined GI in a small sample of eight volunteers after consuming two plant-based burgers: one made with baru pulp and red quinoa, and the other with red quinoa alone.  All three foods produced their highest blood glucose levels 30 minutes after consumption. The glucose reference food generated the largest peak at 174 mg/dL, while the baru pulp–red quinoa and red quinoa burgers reached substantially lower peaks of 118 mg/dL and 120 mg/dL, respectively. By 120 minutes, blood glucose levels had declined in all groups. Compared with the glucose reference, both plant-based burgers caused only modest increases in blood glucose relative to fasting levels: 15.5% for the red quinoa burger and 18% for the baru pulp–red quinoa burger.   Sleep and exercise may curb heart risk from mutant white blood cells Mount Sinai Hospital, June 10. 2026 (Medical Xpress) Healthy sleep and regular exercise can work to counteract genetic mutations in white blood cells that are associated with cardiovascular disease and are most common among older people, Mount Sinai researchers have found. In a study published in Nature, the team reported for the first time that sufficient sleep and exercise can help reduce the cancer-like cell expansion and atherosclerotic risk linked to mutations that spontaneously occur in white blood cells. These mutations accumulate over our lifetimes and occur most often in hematopoietic stem cells, which are the cells in bone marrow that make blood cells, including macrophages and monocytes, immune cells that help defend the body. When these cells develop mutations, they start to proliferate, multiplying faster than they should, and become more inflammatory, irritating or damaging tissues in the body. This condition, known as clonal hematopoiesis (CH), is detectable in a quarter of people over age 70 and half of people over 80, though it is infrequent in young, healthy people. Healthy sleep and exercise was found to selectively influence immune cells with clonal hematopoiesis mutations, repressing their proliferative programming and expansion, as well as their ability to promote the formation of harmful plaque in the arteries of the heart. The findings reveal that CH mutant cells are malleable and selectively responsive to lifestyle behavior in a way that can mitigate atherosclerotic risk. Mount Sinai researchers discovered that moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with a reduced incidence of gene-specific CH and fewer mutant cells in the blood. Sufficient sleep and exercise "turned off" the detrimental effects of rogue Jak2 and Tet2 mutant CH hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, decreasing their ability to proliferate and grow, a precancerous process known as "clonal expansion.   Pregnant women may reduce key health risk through less sitting, more light exercise University of Iowa, June 10 2026 (Eurekalert)   Women who engage in light physical activity and lessen their sedentary time may significantly reduce the risk of key health problems during pregnancy, according to a new University of Iowa-led study. Researchers examined the daily behaviors of 470 pregnant women across all stages of pregnancy. Each participant wore a monitor that measured physical activity in 24-hour cycles and another monitor that recorded the time they spent asleep. Based on observational data collected from the study's participants, the researchers propose a “Goldilocks Day”-like guide for pregnant women that could reduce by nearly 30% the risk of developing hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), commonly occurring complications of pregnancy that include chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia. Those recommendations are: • Reduce sedentary time to fewer than eight hours each day. • Engage in light physical activity for at least seven hours each day. • Engage in approximately 22 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity, such as a brisk walk, each day. • Get nearly nine hours of sleep each night.

When the Bottom Falls Out in Your Life, Ask God to Get Involved Through Prayer AND Thanks – You will Be Amazed! MESSAGE SUMMARY: Sometimes the bottom falls out in your life, and you wonder where God is in all your stuff. Well, the challenge to you is to “Thank God” by turning your eyes away from all your life's “stuff” and turning your eyes to God and thanking Him! We have no better teacher, of the need to address God with our thanks, than when, in Luke11:2, Jesus responded to His Disciples' request to teach them to pray: “And he said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.'". By taking your situation to God in prayer AND thanks, you will be amazed at what will happen to your situation which, before you asked God through prayer AND thanks, seemed insurmountable. What do you usually do? You worry and fret – you focus on the negative and give the adverse situation so much power, in your life, rather than focusing on God and giving Him thanks. In Mathew 6:34, Jesus tells you not to be anxious about your life situations: “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.". Ask God to get involved in your life through prayer and thanks – you will be amazed.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, may your will, not my will, be done in my life. You know how easy it is to call myself a Christian but then become busy, forgetting about your will and desires. Forgive me for this sin. Help me listen to you, and grant me the courage to faithfully surrender to you. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 25). Zondervan.

This week, we tackle the alarming rise in financial scams targeting retirees and their hard-earned savings. With insights straight from the FBI and real-world examples of scam attempts, I break down the key tactics used by fraudsters and reveal the subtle ways they can gain access to your retirement accounts. From sophisticated account takeovers to fake invoice emails, you'll learn the warning signs to watch for—and, most importantly, practical strategies to protect yourself and your financial future.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] How financial scams work and what listeners can do to protect themselves [03:27] Recognizing scam tactics and risks [09:38] Recognizing fake invoice scams [10:36] Email scams and malware threats [16:30] Adding verbal passwords for security [17:28] Avoiding financial scams   Why Retirees Are in Scammers' Crosshairs Retirees often represent an attractive target to scammers, thanks to years of diligent saving and sometimes less familiarity with new scam techniques. With the Federal Bureau of Investigation noting a surge in financial fraud, understanding the mechanics of modern scams is essential. Scammers rely on a proven formula: Use of a trusted-looking sender Creation of a sense of urgency Sufficient believable details to seem legitimate   When you recognize these methods, retirees and their families can more easily spot fraud attempts and prevent the devastating loss of hard-earned assets.   Four Scams Every Retiree Needs to Know 1. The Account Takeover Arguably, the most damaging scam involves fraudsters masquerading as your bank or investment firm. It starts innocuously: a text asks if you authorized a transaction. Replying prompts a phone call from a supposed representative. Thanks to massive data breaches, these scammers may already know your personal details — they just need one missing piece. They'll convince you to read out a "security code" sent by your institution. Handing over this code gives the scammer direct account access, allowing them to transfer funds instantly. Importantly, because you authorized the transaction, financial institutions like Charles Schwab often won't reimburse the loss.    2. The Debt Collector Text Message Here, you get a text from a "debt collector" referencing a fictitious account, amount, or government agency. Designed to provoke fear and haste, these messages trick recipients into calling the number provided or clicking a link — both of which compromise your security or lead to unauthorized payments.   3. The Unpaid Toll Notification You receive an alert for a small, believable toll charge. With such a trivial amount, many people click the link and pay without thinking, handing over payment info to scammers who make larger, unauthorized withdrawals.   4. The Fake Invoice Email Sophisticated emails may claim to be from reputable companies like Microsoft, complete with realistic logos and urgent language about an outstanding invoice. The danger here is twofold: opening the attachment can load malware or ransomware onto your device, or responding to the invoice sends money straight to a crook. Always verify the sender before clicking links or attachments.   Great Habits for Scam Prevention This is my seven-point toolkit to keep you one step ahead of scammers. Practice these habits consistently to stay safe:   Slow Down: Scammers exploit urgency. Pause, breathe, and verify requests. Don't Answer Unknown Numbers: Let unfamiliar calls go to voicemail, especially those spoofing local area codes. Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links: Always visit official websites or use verified contact numbers when responding to alerts or billing issues. Guard Your Personal Information: Never share sensitive info like PINs, passwords, or codes unless you started the interaction. Use Authenticator Apps: These offer extra security beyond SMS-based codes, which can be intercepted. Add Verbal Passwords to Accounts: Financial institutions often allow this as an additional security measure. Assume It's a Scam: When in doubt, err on the side of caution and reach out to institutions through official channels.   Diligence is Your Best Defense Scams will continue to evolve, but the best protection comes from vigilance and skepticism. Always vet instructions that involve your money, pause before acting, and confirm legitimacy through direct contact. Your savings represent a lifetime of work; protect them fiercely so they'll serve you for years to come.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE  Charles Schwab Fidelity Vanguard EPIC - Equifax Data Breach    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

As a Jesus Follower, Go to God in Your Fear and Anxiety Because Jesus Says: “do not be anxious about tomorrow” MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your problems are not too big for God; God is faithful. Your financial issues, your debt, your health issues, and your sins are not too big for God. God is faithful, and He is trustworthy. Why not take, to God, all those things in your life that are creating anxiety? In Psalms 9:9-10, the Psalmist encourages you to put your trust in God: “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.". Also, Jesus tells us, in Mathew. 6:33-34, that you can put our trust in Him and not be anxious about your problems: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”. Our God is a faithful God – reach out to God when fear and anxiety are taking a firm hold on your life.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, fill me with the simple trust that even out of the most awful evil around me, you are able to bring great good — for me, for others, and for your great glory.

Brad Wilcox His Grace Is Sufficient

It's Thursday, May 7th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark German authorities upset with Christian YouTubers Officials in Germany are investigating two Christian YouTubers for criticizing Islam. The two young men, Niko and Tino, run a YouTube channel called Eternal Life. They published a video titled “Islam is no peace” in 2024.  The Hamburg Public Prosecutor's Office is now investigating both of them for allegedly violating Article 166 of the German Criminal Code. Violations are punishable by up to three years in prison.    Tino told Apollo News last month, “I don't understand what they're trying to investigate. … People shouldn't have to be afraid to express their opinions and profess their faith in Jesus Christ.”  Israel created Special Envoy to Christians over lost credibility The government of Israel created a position of Special Envoy to the Christian World last month. Israel's ties with Christians churches have deteriorated after several recent incidents. In one case, Israeli soldiers destroyed a statue of Jesus in southern Lebanon. In another, Israeli police prevented services at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday during the Iran war.  Israel also wants to build ties with young Christian leaders and influencers. The Foreign Ministry plans to bring thousands of these leaders to the country by the end of this year.   Vivek Ramaswamy won Ohio GOP primary for governor In the United States, Ohio and Indiana held primary elections on Tuesday.  Tech billionaire Vivek Ramaswamy won the Republican primary for governor of Ohio. RAMASWAMY: “We have an historic opportunity to lead Ohio to be the top state in the country, to raise a young family, to give our kids a world class education, and to be the state where we revive this quaint idea that we call the American dream. “And tonight that is very personal to me. My parents came halfway around the world to Cincinnati, Ohio, half a century ago, with nothing to their name. I went to public schools through eighth grade because private schools were not on the table for us. I went to St. X for high school. “My dad worked for a five-figure salary for most of his career at the G.E. plant right off I-75 in Evendale. My mom worked at the V.A. taking care of nursing home patients as well. “And now, after having founded thankfully successful businesses, in a position to call myself the Republican nominee for governor in the very state where I was born and raised. That is the American Dream that makes American exceptionalism possible. I know that American dream exists because I have lived it in this state.” Vivek Ramaswamy will face Democrat Amy Acton in November to replace current Republican Governor Mike DeWine. In Indiana, President Donald Trump endorsed seven challengers to state senators who opposed his redistricting plan. A majority of those Trump-backed candidates won their primaries.   Illinois dropped pro-abortion amendment from ballot Officials in Illinois recently dropped a pro-abortion amendment from this year's ballot measures. The amendment would have enshrined the murder of unborn babies as a right in the state's constitution. The Chicago Tribune described the development as a “rare pro-life victory” in the pro-abortion state. Despite this, LifeSiteNews notes, “Illinois is the leading national hub providing abortions for women who live in states where abortion is banned.” Americans fear running out of money more than dying Americans are more afraid of running out of money than they are of dying. That's according to a new study by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America. The survey found that 67% of Americans say they worry more about running out of money than death. That's up 10 percentage points from 2022.  Not surprisingly, a recent Gallup poll found that the top financial concern of American families is the high cost of living.  In Matthew 6:33-34, Jesus said “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” CNN founder Ted Turner has died Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, died yesterday at the age of 87. The Ohio-born businessman revolutionized television news. At CNN, he started the first 24-hour cable news channel. The network wrote yesterday, “Turner was also an internationally known yachtsman; a philanthropist who founded the United Nations Foundation; an activist who sought the worldwide elimination of nuclear weapons; and a conservationist who became one of the foremost landowners in the United States.” Turner was married and divorced three times. He endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. He was also known for making derogatory remarks about Christians and pro-lifers.  In a July 1989 Los Angeles Times article, Ted Turner called pro-lifers “bozos” and laughably claimed that pro-lifers believe that “sex was sinful.”  He also said, “A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.” More GenZers claim to be Christians and read their Bibles And finally, Dr. George Barna released new research on the spirituality of Gen Z, the youngest adult generation in America. The report found that more members of the generation are claiming to be Christians. That figure is up five percentage points over the past four years. Similarly, weekly Bible reading is up 10 percentage points.  However, Gen Z also has the lowest biblical worldview level of any American generation.  Dr. Barna said, “Our research indicates that many young adults are seeking an authentic Christian experience, initially through religious practices, such as attending church services. Many of them are attempting to evaluate what Christianity has to offer without understanding the biblical principles that promote and support those religious practices.” Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, May 7th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

John Batchelor introduces economist Michael Bernstam to discuss the impact of shifting energy markets on the American economy. While the United States possesses sufficient petroleum reserves, the experts clarify that because oil is traded as a global commodity, domestic consumers cannot escape international price hikes. These rising costs at the pump are expected to act as a catalyst for broader inflationary pressures across the country. Specifically, the Federal Reserve anticipates a measurable uptick in inflation rates due to these fluctuating energy expenses. Ultimately, the source highlights that even energy-independent nations remain vulnerable to the economic volatility of the worldwide oil market. 1/11953 LAS VEGAS ATOMIC CANNON

Jesus Followers Reach Out to God When Fear and Anxiety Seek to Take Hold of Life Because They Have a Personal Relationship with the Universe's Creator MESSAGE SUMMARY: Your problems are not too big for God because God is faithful and Sovereign. Your financial issues, your debt, your health issues, and your sins are not too big for God. God is faithful, and He is trustworthy. Why not take, to God, all those things in your life that are creating your anxiety? In Psalms 9:9-10, the Psalmist encourages you to put your trust in God: “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.". Also, Jesus tells us, in Mathew. 6:33-34, that you can put our trust in Him and not be anxious about your problems: “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”. Our God is a faithful God – reach out to God when fear and anxiety are taking a firm hold on your life.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition.

What do you do when the "don't worry" in Scripture feels impossible to actually live? In this episode, Dot and Cara sit with Matthew 6:25-34 and get honest about the anxious thoughts that sneak in, the "what if" seeds that take root, and what it really looks like to keep your eyes on God when life feels out of control. This is a real, warm, and deeply practical conversation about faith as something you do, not just something you know. Pull up a chair, grab your Bible, and lean in with us.Got a question about today's episode or something else you'd like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know! Episode RecapIntro: Cara admits she's feeling the most anxious on the very morning they're recording about anxiety (00:00)Write this down: Matthew 6:25-34, Jesus telling his disciples not to be anxious (00:00)Why Jesus repeats "don't be anxious" more than once, and what that tells us about how well he knows us (01:40)Cara and Dot reflect on how anxiety can sneak up on you even when you don't think of yourself as an anxious person (02:00)How we know too much now, and how our hearts and souls were never meant to carry all of it (04:13)Keeping your eyes on God: what that actually looks like in practice, including prayer, truth-speaking, and remembering his names (07:19)The seed called "what if" and how it's really a control problem underneath (11:57)Living on Friday before Sunday comes: when darkness and people's choices look like they're winning (14:06)It's not a need problem, it's a faith problem, and how Dot reframes what anxiety is really telling us (17:06)Dot's insight: believing the truth only becomes real when you start living it.

Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?' or ‘What shall we drink?' or ‘What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
