Podcasts about Surrender

Read Online“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 22:42–43What powerful words these were. As Jesus hung dying on the Cross for the salvation of the world, He hung between two thieves. These thieves represent all of us. One of them wanted Jesus to save His earthly life by coming down from the Cross and saving him at the same time. The other thief made a prayer for eternal life, asking Jesus to remember him when Jesus entered His Kingdom. To the latter, Jesus granted his request.Oftentimes we pray for earthly goods and pay little attention to eternal ones. Today, as we celebrate the last Sunday of the liturgical year, we celebrate the Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. On this day, we are invited to pray this prayer with the good thief, acknowledging that we are sinners deserving death, but hoping and praying for mercy and a share in the Eternal Kingdom of God.Nothing makes the soul of our Lord more joyful than saving His children. He endured suffering and death out of love. He knew that His death would destroy our death if we cling to Him in hope. On the Cross, Jesus' gaze was on eternal, not earthly, redemption. He beheld the glorious throne that He mounted. It began with a cross but would end with glory, power and splendor beyond imagination. As we honor Jesus as the great and glorious King of the Universe, we are encouraged to invite Him to establish His kingship in our lives more fully. Though Jesus' permanent, lasting and visible Kingdom will be established only in the future when He returns at the end of time, His Kingdom must begin now.The Kingdom of God is established here and now every time you allow Him to exercise His kingship in your life. As a King, Jesus desires to order your life. He demands perfect submission of your will to Him. He demands complete obedience. And He demands that you embrace this kingship of His freely, of your own choosing. These are demands of perfect love that bring about a sharing in His eternal Kingdom. How well do you do this?Throughout our world, there are many forms of governments. Democracies are thought by many to be the best form of government because no one person is capable of being the perfect king. Therefore a democracy is more of a safeguard against tyranny and abusive leadership. But when it comes to the end of time, the governance of humanity will take place by a King—the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is the only one Who is capable of governing humanity with justice and love. He is the only one under Whose leadership we will all flourish. He is the only one Who will be able to establish universal peace and harmony.Reflect, today, upon the glorious end of the world when our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the Universe, will return in splendor and majesty to judge the living and the dead and to establish His permanent and unending Kingdom. Though we are not able to comprehend what this Kingdom will be at this time, we must believe in it with faith and have supernatural hope that we will share in it. Reflect, especially, upon your mission to allow that Kingdom of grace and mercy to begin now, within the depths of your own soul. Surrender all to Him. Invite Him to reign over your thoughts, will, body and soul. Do not hesitate. Trust in this one and only glorious King Who is worthy of our total obedience. My Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, You and You alone are worthy of our total trust and surrender in all things. I do choose You as my King today. I join with the good thief and come to You with all my sin, praying that You will remember me when You come into Your glorious Kingdom. Jesus, I trust in You.  Mongolo1984, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Modi Smiling Away | Trump Asks Ukraine to Surrender | Putin Owns Trump | Sanjay Dixit

Ukrainian officials are pushing back on a purported peace plan that would require major concessions to Russia. A former American ambassador to Ukraine tells us Kyiv won't accept any deal that looks like surrender. A paramedic in Saskatoon tells us a toxic drug supply caused more than a hundred overdoses in just seven days -- and that crisis has also taken a toll on first responders. An Indigenous woman whose mother lost her status for marrying a non-Indigenous man celebrates a change meant to ensure that status passes through generations -- regardless of who you marry. An Oxford University biologist traces the history of the kiss -- and finds that the ancestors of humans and other large apes were locking lips at least 16 million years ago. When an NBA rookie's parents suggested he invite some friends over for dinner, they weren't expecting the whole Charlotte Hornets roster to turn up.We hate a mosquito's proboscis when it's sucking our blood -- but we love a mosquito's proboscis when scientists take it off the mosquito, and use it as a nozzle in a 3D printer. As It Happens, the Thursday Edition. Radio that presents a good nose/bad nose scenario.

Ashlee C. walked into her first 12-step room for food addiction recovery on February 9, 2016, not knowing that God would use this program to teach her the difference between surrendering in defeat and abandoning herself fully to Him. In her first year of abstinence, she lost 125 lbs and reached an ideal size — but after a relapse, her stretches of abstinence grew shorter and her relapses grew longer. On July 22, 2024, she finally abandoned sugar and flour as forms of ease and comfort, marking a major turning point. On May 1, 2025, she turned more of her will over to the care of God, and on May 31, 2025, she set aside her thinking about God, herself, and others and went through the steps again with the purpose of carrying the message to another suffering addict. That deeper abandonment led her to acknowledge God in all her ways — not only in compulsive eating, but also in sex, love, fantasy, overspending, under-earning, and every area where spiritual principles now guide her daily life. Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path.

Money can so easily capture our hearts. It promises security, comfort, and control—but often leaves us anxious and striving for more. Yet when we give, something remarkable happens. We're declaring our dependence on God, not our bank accounts.Dr. Art Rainer—founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and author of Money in the Light of Eternity: What the Bible Says about Your Financial Purpose—joined us recently to explore how generosity becomes an act of trust that transforms our hearts and deepens our faith.Money Reveals the HeartLarry Burkett often said, “Every spending decision is a spiritual decision.” Dr. Rainer agrees.“Jesus said, Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” Art explained. “The Bible makes it clear—money management reflects heart management.”Scripture contains over 2,000 verses about money and possessions. Why? Because few things so clearly reveal what—or whom—we truly trust. For believers, the central question is this: Do we believe God's promises about provision, and are we willing to surrender this area of life to Him?Giving as an Act of TrustDr. Rainer describes giving as a tangible expression of faith. “God doesn't tell us to give and then leave us hanging,” he said. “He ties promises to generosity.”Those promises fall into three beautiful truths—God will provide, multiply, and enrich.1. God Promises to ProvideIn Malachi 3:10, the Lord declares:“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do, I will open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in. Try it! Put me to the test!”“God invites us to trust Him,” Art said. “He promises to pour out an abundance of blessings—not necessarily material wealth, but blessings that can be spiritual, relational, or emotional. Maybe it's the contentment you've been chasing for years, or the joy of being part of something far greater than yourself.”2. God Promises to MultiplyIn John 6, a young boy offers his five loaves and two fish to Jesus—hardly enough to feed five thousand hungry people. Yet Christ multiplies that small gift until everyone is satisfied, with twelve baskets left over.“Many of us feel like that boy,” Art said. “We look at our meager resources and wonder, What difference can this make? But God is a God of multiplication. He can take whatever you give and expand it to accomplish His purposes. That's His promise—but it requires trust.”3. God Promises to EnrichWho doesn't love a good return on investment—or ROI? “God does too,” Art said.In 2 Corinthians 9:11, Paul writes, “You will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous.”“God gives so that we can give,” Art continued. “He blesses so that we can bless others. He's looking for conduits of generosity—people through whom His blessings can flow. When we live that way, generosity becomes not just a habit, but a way of life.”Trusting God With Your MoneyAs Dr. Rainer summed it up:“Generosity is an act of trust. It shifts our hearts from reliance on ourselves and money to reliance on God. If you're a Christian, you've already trusted Him with your soul. It's time to trust Him with your money.”When we give generously, we're not losing—we're investing in eternity. We're saying, “Lord, I believe You are my provider.” And that's one of the clearest ways to live out genuine faith.Learn more about Dr. Art Rainer's work at ChristianMoneySolutions.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 69 with no debt and considering a whole life insurance policy—$100,000 with premiums for 10 years—to leave tax-free money to my children. I already have a term policy that ends at 75. I also have $28,000 in an underperforming annuity with no surrender charge, and was advised to do a 1035 exchange into a new annuity at 4.65% for seven years. I've also invested in CDs at 4% and am considering high-yield savings accounts. What's the best strategy moving forward?My in-laws are around 80 and have fully matured savings bonds. When they used some for home upgrades, they faced a large tax bill. Is there any way to move or reinvest those bonds to delay or avoid taxes—perhaps into an IRA or Roth IRA?I manage finances for someone receiving annual settlement payments until 2036. He wants to create a trust now to support three families, but his lawyer recommends keeping the money in savings while he's alive. The payer says a trust can be set up after his death. Should he establish the trust now or wait?I'm debt-free and have my cash in a high-yield savings account, but rates are dropping.

Timothy's specialism is emerging European economics, and he writes and blogs extensively on economic challenges for leading publications such as the Kyiv Post, Atlantic Council, the Financial Times, and the United Business Journal. He is also an Associate Fellow in the Russia and Eurasia programme at Chatham House and has advised various governments on Ukraine-Russia policy and specifically on the impact of sanctions.----------Tetyana Nesterchuk is Barrister and Arbitrator at Fountain Court Chambers. She is a UK expert at the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe, and a vocal Ukrainian in London. Nesterchuk is doing everything in her power to aid Ukraine's fight against Russia's invasion. For Nesterchuk, the war didn't start in 2022. The war began in 2014 when her hometown of Donetsk was overtaken by Russia-backed separatists before eventually being annexed two years ago. Some of her most vital work now centres on the seizure of Russian state assets, the funds from which she hopes can be redistributed to pay for vital services so sorely needed by the embattled Ukrainian population. She acknowledges that she won't be able to save Ukraine alone, but she won't ever stop doing her part to help.----------TETYANA NESTERCHUK LINKS:https://fountaincourt.uk/profile/tetyana-nesterchuk/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tetyana-nesterchuk-a4469a21/https://www.thelawyer.com/microeventpeople/tetyana-nesterchuk/TIMOTHY ASH LINKS:https://timothyash.substack.com/ https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-people/timothy-ashhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/timothy-ash-83a87158/https://cepa.org/author/timothy-ash/----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------DESCRIPTION:Analyzing the Controversial Ukraine-Russia Peace Plan with ExpertsJoin us in this critical discussion with Timothy Ash and Tetyana Nesterchuk as they delve into the recent developments around the so-called peace negotiation process between the US and Russia. The conversation focuses on the controversial peace plan, suspected to be influenced by Moscow, and its potential implications for Ukraine, Europe, and global security. Timothy Ash, an economist with extensive experience in Ukrainian affairs, and Tetyana Nesterchuk, a barrister and expert in European law, provide their insights on the complexities of the plan, the influence of Russian psychological operations, and the broader geopolitical stakes. They also highlight the importance of Europe leveraging frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine and push back against conceding to Russian demands. This episode emphasizes the urgent need for a principled stance on international law and the decisive action required from European leaders.----------

✨ Jesus never promised an easy path; He promised a worthy one. What would it truly cost you to follow Him without compromise? Family, comfort, control, even your own plans. Today's devotion uncovers the price of true discipleship…and the unimaginable reward that follows surrender.

THE KINGDOM OPPORTUNITYA Clarion Call to World-Changing FaithThe glorified Christ is returning—not for believers who retreated and hid, but for a Church that declared His lordship, advanced His Kingdom, and transformed the world He died to redeem.The Kingdom Opportunity is a direct challenge to the passive, inward-focused Christianity that has surrendered culture and awaited evacuation while the world burns. This is a declaration of war against the lies that have paralyzed the Church and a blueprint for the cultural transformation God has always intended.We have one Kingdom opportunity. One chance to glorify God in the middle of His enemies, surrounded by a fallen world in rebellion against Him. What we do with it will echo through eternity.The will of God is clear: He operates in this fallen world through redeemed individuals empowered by His Holy Spirit. Not someday. Now. We are His strategy. There is no plan B.This teaching dismantles the false narratives that have kept Christians silent and retreating—lies that convinced us we're supposed to lose, that culture belongs to Satan, that our only hope is escape. These lies have cost us our voice, our influence, our freedoms, and our children's future.The stakes could not be higher. The freedoms we enjoy, the prosperity we've inherited, the soul of Western civilization—all hang in the balance.Yes, it will be hard. Yes, persecution may come. But seizing this Kingdom opportunity—even at great cost—will be better for us and better for our children and generations to come. Surrender guarantees the very darkness we fear, except our children will face it without the foundations and freedoms we failed to fight for.Jesus Christ is Lord of all creation. Every sphere of society exists under His authority. He has delegated that authority to us. Will we use it, or let this opportunity slip away while waiting for an escape that was never promised?The time for passive Christianity is over.The Messiah came. The work is finished. The authority is delegated. The time is now.Will you stand up? Will you step out? Will you speak now? Will you seize the Kingdom opportunity God has placed before you—knowing that even if it costs you everything, it secures everything for those who come after?Your King is returning. What will He find you doing when He arrives?This is your Kingdom opportunity. Take it.

In this guided meditation episode of Five Minutes of Peace, we welcome back life coach David Lawson to lead listeners through a transformative visualization to help release limiting beliefs and consciously create the future they want.David begins with grounding breathwork—inviting you to sit comfortably, breathe deeply, and feel energy rise from the soles of your feet to the crown of your head. As you settle into stillness, he guides you to imagine a peaceful place in nature — a beach, a forest, or a meadow — where your mind and body can relax into calm awareness.He then explains how the power of conscious thought can rewire your brain. By recognizing and releasing unwanted emotions or stories that no longer serve you, you can shift from anxiety and self-doubt toward freedom and empowerment. Through this process, David teaches that awareness gives you choice — the ability to stop old patterns, cancel them, and consciously create new beliefs aligned with your higher self.Listeners are invited to:Identify and release emotions that keep them stuck.Surrender old energy to the universe for transformation.Visualize their new self — free, peaceful, and empowered.Trust in the universe's support to sustain that change.The meditation closes with gentle reminders to breathe, relax, and re-enter your day with renewed energy and awareness.David Lawson is a transformational life coach and founder of Awake Warrior, based in Toronto, Ontario. His work focuses on conscious living, emotional release, and empowering individuals to awaken their highest potential through mindfulness and personal development.Learn more about David's work at www.awakewarrior.com.Five Minutes of Peace is produced by The Peace Room in Boise, Idaho — a space dedicated to Reiki, energy healing, and conscious living.Learn more or book a session at www.ThePeaceRoom.love.

"The real challenge is to include all, every aspect of yourself. Even the aspect that hates can be loved." When we take a spiritual path, we may be seeking our enlightenment or our awakening. But perhaps what is truly wanted cannot be discovered in any spiritual technique or acquisition or achievement, but rather in surrender, in the surrender to love one another.  As Gangaji shares in this episode, "if we are beginning in love then there is really nowhere to go but here."

2025-11-20 | Silicon Wafers 061 | When is peace not peace? What it's proposed by the Kremlin, as a pretext for more war, and a strategy to attempt to divide Ukraine from its allies and partners. This is what we are seeing now – a ‘brand-new' surrender plan cooked up in the Kremlin, which in fact contains nothing new, and has no chance of success. Shame on the media that are hyping this as a new development, with new proposals, which we are expected to take seriously. There's nothing in it that's new – it contains the same maximalist demands that Putin's been making throughout the war, and they are as unrealistic and unacceptable as they always were. We should not take it seriously, because the only serious aspect to this geopolitical farce, is that Ukrainians are still fighting and dying and being slaughtered in their homes and tortured across the occupied territories. The only new aspect to this surrender plan stitched together in secret, and without Ukraine's involvement by witless Steve Witkoff and Kiril Dmitriev, is that the language and framing are even more gross than before – even more transactional, and ludicrous. The intent to inflict humiliation on Ukraine even more palpable. ----------SOURCES: Axios – “Scoop: U.S. secretly drafting new plan to end Ukraine war” (19 Nov 2025)Reuters – “Ukraine expected to give up land, some arms under US peace plan, sources say” (20 Nov 2025)Reuters – “Kremlin plays down media report of new efforts on Ukraine peace” (19 Nov 2025)Reuters – “White House working with Russia on new Ukraine peace plan, Axios reports” (19 Nov 2025)The Guardian – “US and Russian officials have reportedly drafted 28-point plan to end Ukraine war” (20 Nov 2025)The Moscow Times – coverage of leaked terms including army cuts and weapons limits The Times (UK) – “US pushes Ukraine to halve army in secret peace plan with Kremlin” (20 Nov 2025)Kyiv Independent – “Kyiv alarmed as US pushes Ukraine peace framework aligning with Moscow's maximalist demands” (19–20 Nov 2025)Kyiv Independent – “Trump envoy Kellogg to depart White House, leaving Ukraine without key US champion in moment of crisis” (20 Nov 2025)Kyiv Post – “Kallas Rejects Any US-Russia Peace Plan That Sidelines Ukraine, Europe” (20 Nov 2025)Kyiv Post – “Witkoff Deleted Tweet Fuels Scramble as West Rejects Alleged Trump Ukraine Plan as ‘Kremlin Fantasy'” (20 Nov 2025)Kyiv Post – “US Peace Plan Would See Russia Keep Donbas in Exchange for ‘Rental Fee,' Sources Say” (20 Nov 2025)Kyiv Post – Timothy Snyder, “OPINION: How to Negotiate With Russia” (19 Nov 2025)The Economist – “A terrible American-Russian proposal to end the war in Ukraine” (19 Nov 2025) Sky News – “Steve Witkoff: Who is the real estate mogul tasked with brokering peace in Ukraine?” (24 Mar 2025)The Guardian – “Trump and special envoy Witkoff stand to reap rewards from official business” (30 May 2025)Reuters / FT profiles of Kirill Dmitriev and RDIFBiographical notes on Rustem Umerov – Wikipedia.org----------SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's front-line towns.https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras----------SILICON CURTAIN LIVE EVENTS - FUNDRAISER CAMPAIGN Events in 2025 - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtainhttps://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extrasOur events of the first half of the year in Lviv, Kyiv and Odesa were a huge success.

Disobedience rarely shows its cost upfront. It often begins subtly—a small compromise, a silent justification, a moment of self-will. Yet Scripture reveals repeatedly that turning from God's word always leads to loss, bondage, and separation. In this final installment of our obedience series, we explore how biblical figures from Adam to Samson to Saul illustrate the heavy price attached to disobedience—and how Christ calls us back into surrendered alignment with His will.

Pastor Corbett continues our Defining Worship series by reminding us that true worship isn't just a song—it's a lifestyle marked by obedience. Using Abraham's costly obedience in Genesis 22 and the priests' empty sacrifices in Malachi 1, he shows the difference between worship rooted in surrender and worship offered with a divided heart. Drawing from Colossians 1, he calls us to “walk in a manner worthy of the Lord,” letting our love, service, generosity, and witness overflow as acts of worship. The challenge: identify where God is calling you to obey and let your whole life reflect the worth of Jesus. Join us every Tuesday in the LSM Buidling at 7 p.m. & follow us on instagram @lyahampton for updates!

Knowing and doing the will of God is vital to an effective walk with God. It allows an individual to be certain that God's desires for his life are being accomplished. When the will of God is a priority, the purposes of God will be accomplished.

In today's lesson from 1 Samuel 15, we step into a crucial the moment in Biblical history when God rejects Saul as king. What begins as a clear command from God quickly becomes a portrait of how subtle and dangerous self-deception can be. We walk through the centuries-long background behind God's judgment on Amalek, tracing the story from Israel's wilderness years all the way to Saul's battlefield. Against that backdrop, Saul's response becomes even more striking: instead of obeying completely, he chooses selective obedience, keeping what looked valuable and justifying it with spiritual language. As the story unfolds, we see how easily the human heart twists God's Word. Saul reshapes God's command, redefines what obedience means, and convinces himself he has done exactly what God asked—while standing surrounded by the very evidence of his disobedience. Samuel exposes this with the piercing truth that God is not impressed by outward acts of worship that are used to cover inward rebellion. The famous line, “To obey is better than sacrifice,” becomes the anchor of the entire passage, reminding us that God desires submission more than spiritual performance. This chapter confronts us with the danger of consulting our own reasoning instead of trusting God's clear commands. Saul trusted his feelings, his logic, and his desires, elevating them to the level of God's authority. That decision becomes a form of idolatry and a warning to us: partial obedience is not obedience at all. Yet the story doesn't end in despair. It ultimately points us toward a better King—the one who faced the hardest command ever given and still prayed, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” If you've ever struggled with compromise, justification, or adjusting God's standards to fit your own, this lesson offers both a challenge and a hope. It calls us to lay down our reinterpretations and follow the example of Christ with a heart fully surrendered to God.

When you walk through dry or weary seasons, remember: God still meets you at the altar. Rebuilding your altar is the path through every wilderness. Pastor Bobby Chaw reminds us that the altar requires three things — making communion with God a PRIORITY, allowing His Word to bring PURITY, and offering your life in SURRENDER. The fire of the Spirit falls where there is a sacrifice.

Ego and identity dissolve when we turn inward toward the Atman, and through surrender we discover the Godself within. This talk reveals how. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, we explore what lies beneath the shifting layers of ego, personality, and accumulated identity. Drawing from deep yoga philosophy, Maetreyii Ma guides you into the heart of the Atman—the conscious knower behind all experience. You'll learn how the restless mind creates a fragile sense of “I,” and how the power of surrender opens the doorway to the infinite. As the ego loosens and the heart softens, the radiant presence of the Godself emerges: pure awareness, unconditional love, and the natural state of being. This teaching explains how turning attention from the known to the knower dissolves the illusion of separation. Through gentle introspection and sincere surrender, we return to the essence that has always been whole, timeless, and free. If you feel called to go beyond self-concepts and rediscover your true Self, this talk will meet you deeply. Namaskar.

Babe, you know these moments where you can't help but wonder…“Do I need to do more right now – or am I supposed to just chill the f*ck out and blindly trust?” Yeah. That question used to drive me insane. Because as ambitious women, we are wired to MOVE. We're so used to strategizing, planning, taking control – that the concept of “surrender” feels like giving up, or even worse, failure. But here's the truth: knowing when to take action and when to let go is literally the difference between burnout and overflow. It's the skill that led me from over-functioning to thriving in every aspect of life. In this solo episode, I'm guiding you through how to tell the difference so you can stop second guessing yourself and start moving in harmony with your highest self. We're diving deep into all things energetics and the energetic dance you need to learn to balance both masculine and feminine energies, how I apply my teachings to my own life, how to know when to take action versus when it's time to surrender and let go, how to know which energy you're currently or predominantly in, and so much more! So babe, grab your cacao or matcha and a journal, because you're going to want to take notes and implement these practices into your daily life! ------Wanna take things wayyyyyy deeper and upgrade your life in 2026, exponentially?CLAIM YOUR SPOT TO WORK WITH ME IN A PRIVATE SETTING HERE!Ready to become The Magnetic Woman?

What does it truly mean to be consecrated before a major breakthrough? The Israelites stood at the edge of the Jordan River for 40 years, waiting for this very moment. They were given specific instructions: consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow Adonai will do amazing things. This in-depth study of Joshua 3-5 explores the profound act of faith required to step into the flooding river before the waters parted. We'll examine why God tests us, often bringing us back to the same challenges we failed before. Are we, like them, waiting on the verge of our own promised land, held back only by a lack of faith? This message unpacks the deep connection between true consecration and witnessing God's power. Share this message with someone who needs encouragement to 'step into the water' in faith! #Joshua #JordanRiver #MessianicJudaism #ShalomAdventure

How do we live out the Christian life as Jesus intended? In this four-part series on the command to receive God's power, we explore Jesus' call to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). We begin by uncovering our absolute need for the Holy Spirit—not only to begin the Christian life, but to sustain and empower it every day. Through rich Scripture, personal stories, and practical application, we examine what it means to walk in the Spirit, how to abide in His power, what grieves or quenches Him, and the vital ministries He performs in our lives. From salvation to sanctification, from surrender to fruitfulness, this series invites us to live not in our own strength, but in the power of Christ dwelling in us. When we truly depend on Him, He transforms our lives, equips our witness, and glorifies Himself through us.Are we daily depending on the Spirit of God, or are we still trying to live the Christian life in our own strength? Have we fully surrendered every area of our heart to the Lord, letting Him fill us completely?In this rich and practical reflection on Luke 24:49, we come face to face with the essential truth that the Christian life cannot be lived apart from the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus' command to “tarry… until ye be endued with power from on high” invites us to a life of continual dependence, surrender, and intimacy with God. Receiving His power begins at salvation—when we are born of the Spirit—but it continues as a daily walk of being filled, sanctified, and led by Him. The Holy Spirit, both Holy and wholly consuming, moves into every area of our lives, cleansing, empowering, and conforming us into the likeness of Christ. We cannot overcome sin, bear fruit, or fulfill God's commands by striving in our own ability; instead, we yield to His presence, abide in His Word, and walk in surrendered obedience. As we empty ourselves of self-sufficiency and acknowledge our deep need, the rivers of His Spirit rush in—bringing life, power, and fruitfulness. Christ is not just our example—He is our life. And when we truly grasp that He does the work in and through us, we find freedom, joy, and strength to walk out the life He's called us to live. Let us stay in that place of dependence and surrender, continually receiving His power, that we may be vessels through which Christ is glorified.

The story of Jacob's sons is messy, painful, redemptive, and beautiful. It's the story of betrayal and forgiveness, grief and healing, famine and provision. But more than that, it's the story of how God takes a broken family and forms a people through whom He will bless the whole world. From the very beginning, God's heart has been to include the outsider and heal what's been fractured. This series invites us into that story—not just to watch it unfold, but to find ourselves in it. Because God is still using crooked sticks to draw straight lines—and to build His family today.

Join Bay City Director Tamara Schlatter and Senior Pastor Josh Pardee as they explore the message from week 5 of our current series titled Crooked Sticks.  

Warrior woman, this one is a little messy. A little raw. A little “thinking on the mic.” I've been sitting with a really big decision for almost 10 months — circling it, questioning myself, wondering if my intuition was blocked, asking whether clarity is a mindset thing, a nervous system thing, or an identity thing. For months, I didn't have the answer. And honestly… I thought something was wrong with me. But what I've learned is this: Nothing was wrong with me — I just wasn't ready. My nervous system wasn't ready. My life wasn't ready. I wasn't her yet In this EP, I take you inside that whole internal process — the questions, the frustration, the anger, the capacity-building, the surrender (the real kind, not the Instagram kind), and how clarity finally came… not because I manifested it, but because my bod could finally hold it. Girl...If you're in the in-between — if you're circling a big decision, if you're questioning yourself, if you feel like you “should” know the answer but don't — this EP is for you darling. Key Takeaways Not knowing doesn't mean you're broken — it means your future self isn't fully formed yet. You might not have the identity, energy, or physiological capacity to hold the decision… yet. Clarity isn't just mindset. Your nervous system has to feel safe enough to let the answer land. Big decisions require big identity shifts — and those take time. Some decisions need months of circling, imagining, grieving, and preparing. You can be a slow decision-maker and a fast executor. Once you decide? The plan flows. The strategy becomes obvious. The action is easy. Intuition might not be “woo.” It might simply be the brain predicting and the body responding: “Yes, I can hold that,” or “No, not yet.” Surrender is not passive. It's letting go of urgency while actively building capacity — physically, emotionally, and structurally. Becoming is slow. It's identity-level. It doesn't happen on your timeline. And that's okay. Powerful Quotes “Not knowing doesn't mean you're behind — it means your future self isn't ready yet.” “Maybe intuition isn't magic. Maybe it's just perception plus regulation.” “I'm a slow decision-maker, but a fast executor. Once I know… I move.” “Surrender isn't trusting the universe — it's letting go of urgency while you build the capacity to hold something big.” “Sometimes your nervous system isn't saying no… it's saying not yet.” In this deeply personal solo episode of The Warrior School Podcast, Amy unpacks a 10-month season of “not knowing” and what it taught her about intuition, nervous system capacity, identity, and big life decisions. This episode is for the woman who is circling a decision, questioning her intuition, or feeling stuck in the in-between. You'll learn why clarity often takes longer than you think, how the nervous system influences decision-making, the difference between intuition and perception, and how to build the capacity to hold big identity-level changes. If you're in a season of uncertainty, this episode will help you feel seen, grounded, and supported. THIS EPISODE IS FOR: Women who are circling a big decision and don't have the answer yet Anyone who feels stuck in the in-between and is wondering if something's “wrong” with them High-achieving women who want to build the physical and emotional capacity to hold a bigger life Leaders, creators, coaches — the women who are becoming someone new, even if it's slow, even if it's messy

November 16th, 2025 | Seek ONE | Luke 18:18-30In this special Commitment Sunday message, Pastor Matt Darby challenges us with a simple but life-altering question: What is the one thing driving everything in your life—and is it Jesus? As our church continues the Seek 1 journey, this sermon invites every listener into a deeper place of surrender, trust, and freedom.Drawing from Luke 18 and Jesus' encounter with the rich young ruler, Pastor Matt exposes how easy it is to let good things become ultimate things—especially in the area of finances. Nothing grips the human heart quite like money, and nothing tests our trust quite like surrendering it. But Jesus isn't after our money; He's after our hearts. And where our treasure is, our hearts inevitably follow.In this message, you'll discover:• Jesus calls us to full surrender—not partial obedience.Like the rich young ruler, we can be moral, faithful, and religious, yet still hold back the “one thing” that truly owns us. Jesus wants access to every room of our lives.• Surrender is the path to spiritual freedom.Pastor Matt unpacks the powerful imagery of the camel and the needle, showing that self-sufficiency can trap us, while surrender to Jesus sets us free from worry, control, and divided loyalty.• What Jesus asks us to release, He replaces with something far greater.When we trust Him with what we think we can't live without—especially our finances—we discover that obedience is not loss but exchange. Jesus promises blessing “in this time and in the age to come.”As Pastor Matt leads the church into a moment of courageous obedience, he reminds us: today isn't about the church getting your money—it's about your heart getting free. The rich young ruler walked away sad because he couldn't trust Jesus with his treasure. But we are invited to walk forward in joy as we surrender our own.This message will encourage, challenge, and stretch anyone who desires to make Jesus truly The One Thing That Drives Everything.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Message by Chris Brown on November 15, 2025. It is easy to get disappointed or angry with God when He seems not to care or doesn't answer us the way we want. When we find ourselves in that place, the only options seem to be to draw closer to an unloving God or turn our backs on Him. Today's teaching from Jesus shows us how we were on the wrong page with God to begin with, and how to resolve that in a way that will always work out for our benefit.
