Confusion often sets in when life takes an unexpected turn—when hurt, disappointment, opposition, or spiritual attack clouds our perspective. From Psalm 71, this episode explains that the answer is not figuring everything out but choosing to trust the Lord. Focusing on confusion only deepens it, but fixing our eyes on Christ steadies the heart because God remains sovereign over every secondary cause. True deliverance comes not through self-effort but “in thy righteousness,” as Christ's enablement is expressed through dependent obedience and moment-by-moment reliance on Him.Topics DiscussedPsalm 71 and the problem of spiritual confusionHow focusing on hurt, frustration, or disappointment multiplies itTrust as the biblical cure for confusionGod's sovereignty over secondary causes and difficult circumstancesDeliverance “in thy righteousness”Dependent obedience and Christ's supernatural enablementPassive deliverance from sin's powerPeter walking on the water as an illustration of misplaced focusLiving by continual divine interventionKey TakeawaysWhat you focus on will shape your spiritual experience.Trust displaces confusion because it rests in God's character, not circumstances.God is at work even when events seem contradictory or painful.Self-dependent righteousness cannot deliver; Christ's righteousness can.The Christian life is lived through total surrender and total dependence.

Send us a textWhat if your biggest block to surrender isn't your willpower—but your heart posture?In this powerful episode, Chelsey challenges the common Christian wife question: “But how do I surrender?” The truth is—you can't surrender through striving. Because surrender doesn't begin with action. It begins with awe.You'll hear:Why striving to “figure out surrender” is a sign your heart hasn't truly shifted yetHow right order and a right view of God lead to spontaneous, full surrenderWhat Peter, John, and Isaiah have to teach us about falling to our knees in holy recognitionWhy surrender always overflows from gratitude, not gritHow this heart posture will radically change your marriage and your missionThis is the key that unlocks freedom. Because when you finally see God rightly, surrender isn't hard—it's inevitable.

Send us a textYou can't live surrendered while still believing the old story.In this episode, we dive into why surrender often feels hard even after you've released control—and the missing piece most women never address: the internal narrative driving their behavior.Chelsey unpacks how true transformation doesn't begin with trying harder, but with renewing the mind and agreeing with God where fear, trauma, and self-reliance once ruled. You'll learn why obedience feels heavy when belief hasn't shifted, and how replacing false narratives with Kingdom truth creates peace, alignment, and freedom—especially inside marriage.This episode will help you:Identify the unconscious stories shaping your reactionsUnderstand why surrender fails without mind renewalReplace pressure-driven beliefs with God's truthExperience peace as an inheritance, not a rewardStep into obedience that flows naturally from beliefIf you've ever said, “I know the truth, I just can't seem to live it,” this episode will show you why—and how to finally move forward.

A reflection on James 4:13–17 and the call to live with humble dependence on God's will. Through my own unexpected vocational journey, I explore how faithfulness in unplanned seasons—especially quiet, ordinary ones—can become meaningful places of growth, obedience, and purpose when surrendered to God.

What does it actually mean to surrender to God? And more importantly, HOW do we do it? How often do we say we're giving something to God, but then we're still up at night thinking about it, trying to control it, losing our peace over it? So in this episode, I'm walking you through exactly how to surrender—whether it's your marriage, your kids, your finances, your business, or anything else the Holy Spirit is asking you to let go of. I share my own story of when God asked me to surrender my marriage (spoiler: it was terrifying), and the powerful questions the Holy Spirit gave me that made surrender to God actually practical instead of just a nice spiritual concept. I'll walk you through a beautiful exercise of packaging up what you need to surrender and offering it to Jesus as a gift. Trust me, there's so much freedom waiting for you on the other side of surrender. Grab your pen and paper for this one. Let's do this together!

In this challenging and convicting message from the "Kingdom Now" series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl dives into Matthew 7:1-20, unpacking Jesus' teachings on judgment, discernment, prayer, and true discipleship.Pastor Karl begins by clarifying "Judge not, lest you be judged" — Jesus forbids condemning others, but calls for discernment and inspection of fruit. He uses the humorous image of the speck in your brother's eye versus the plank in your own, urging self-reflection first to avoid hypocrisy before helping others.He warns against casting pearls before swine or giving what is holy to dogs — don't waste the precious truths of God's kingdom on those who will only trample and reject them; be discerning and move on to receptive hearts.Jesus invites persistent, progressive prayer: Ask, seek, knock — ongoing commands with promises of receiving, finding, and entering God's presence. Pastor Karl emphasizes that continual prayer keeps us dependent on our good Father, who gives how much more generously than earthly parents, aligning our desires with His good will.The Golden Rule gets elevated: not just "don't do bad," but actively do to others what you want done to you — a revolutionary call to love.Jesus contrasts the narrow gate and road that leads to life (costly self-denial and obedience, yet light under His yoke) with the broad road of religious activity without heart change, which leads to destruction — few find the narrow way.Finally, beware false prophets disguised as sheep but inwardly wolves; recognize them (and ourselves) by their fruit. Good trees bear good fruit (love, joy, peace, etc.); bad trees produce bad — and a life of no fruit is equally revealing. Judge for identification, not condemnation.Pastor Karl closes with piercing questions: What sin do you quickly spot in others but slowly repent of yourself? What fruit would people taste from your life? He warns that self-deception is dangerous — the most perilous place is being close to Jesus without truly following Him.A grace-filled call to repentance, heart transformation, and walking the narrow road of fruitful, authentic discipleship.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In this convicting installment of the "Kingdom Now" series on the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl tackles the final section of Matthew 6, where Jesus confronts the disciple's battle with excessive worry.Jesus commands, “Do not be anxious about your life,” addressing our deepest fears over sustenance, health, and material security. Pastor Karl explains that worry is not a personality trait but a discipleship issue—a lack of trust that we are our own ultimate provider. He notes the physical and emotional toll of chronic anxiety, while research shows most worries never materialize and the rest prove less devastating than feared.Drawing from Jesus' illustrations of birds (who labor diligently yet trust God's care) and lilies (clothed more gloriously than Solomon), Pastor Karl clarifies: diligent work and planning are biblical, but anxiety over provision is not. Worry accomplishes nothing and robs us of life.The solution is radical: “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Jesus calls disciples to dethrone worry by enthroning God's kingdom as the supreme priority—surpassing personal agendas, comfort, and even life itself. When the eternal kingdom becomes our greatest passion, God faithfully supplies what we truly need.Echoing Abraham's trust over Lot's worldly pursuit, Pastor Karl challenges listeners: Will we choose altars over assets, surrendering our plans to God's will? True freedom from worry comes not from trying harder to stop, but from wholehearted devotion to the King and His kingdom.A powerful, grace-filled invitation to examine our priorities, replace anxiety with kingdom passion, and live as trusting disciples who reflect their generous, faithful Father.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
This episode addresses a tension many believers feel but rarely understand: why truth, rules, and even Scripture can feel lifeless or oppressive. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3, Dr. Jim explains that the issue is not the Word of God, but the absence of dependence on the Spirit of God. True Christianity is not self-powered obedience but Spirit-empowered life.Topics DiscussedThe meaning of “the letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life”Why truth without the Spirit produces frustration rather than transformationHow rules and standards provoke rebellion when divorced from graceThe difference between self-effort Christianity and Spirit-enabled obedienceWhy the solution is not rejecting the Word, but relying on the SpiritKey TakeawaysThe Bible is never the problem; dependence on self is.Obedience without the Spirit leads to defeat, not freedom.The Spirit gives life to truth, enabling joyful, willing obedience.Christianity only works when Christ Himself is the source of power.Real freedom comes through surrender and faith, not self-discipline alone.

In this powerful message from Pastor Karl, we journey beyond the manger to discover the timeless roots of Christmas in the Garden of Eden. Christmas is far more than a seasonal vibe—it's the profound story of God's unchanging love, revealed through proximity, provision, and loving parameters.Drawing parallels between Eden and Bethlehem, Pastor Karl shows how God has always pursued us: walking closely with humanity, generously providing what we cannot obtain ourselves, and setting protective boundaries for our good. Yet, from the beginning, humanity has often rejected this love, doubting God's goodness and choosing our own way.The heart of the gospel shines through as Pastor Karl reminds us that even in our rejection, God's love pursues and covers us—first promised in Genesis with the crushing of the serpent's head through the seed of the woman, and perfectly fulfilled in the incarnation of Jesus, Emmanuel, "God with us."This message challenges us: Will we embrace not just the warmth of Christmas, but the weighty claims of Christmas—God's call to love Him fully with our whole heart, soul, mind, and strength through belonging to His family, becoming like Christ, giving generously, and going on mission?A stirring reminder that God's everlasting love didn't begin in Bethlehem—it was set in motion from the very beginning, for you and me.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
Bishop Robert Barron’s Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies
Friends, our readings for the fourth and final Sunday of Advent are all about maybe the central motif of the spiritual life. Our culture today is so self-oriented: It's all about me and my choice. But that attitude is directly repugnant to the Bible; in fact, the Bible is constantly trying to move us out of that space and into a different space—namely, one of surrender to the higher purpose of God.
God's plan for Mary looked nothing like what anyone expected, yet it revealed a peace that comes not from control but surrender. This message reminds us that even the craziest plans are steady and secure when they are God's, and that our lives fit within His eternal, unstoppable purpose.
In this Faith Talks conversation, Janna opens up about a quiet but heavy fear many young women feel yet rarely express: the fear of wasting their lives. Through honest reflections on comparison, expectations, and the pressure to measure up, she shares how God has been reshaping her perspective. Her story offers a refreshing reminder that a life surrendered to Christ is never wasted, even when the path feels unseen or slow.Topics DiscussedThe subtle ways comparison fuels fear and insecurityWhy “falling behind” is more about perception than truthLearning to trust God with timing, calling, and identityHow hidden seasons often become the most shaping onesWhat surrender looks like when fear gets loudAllowing God to define significance instead of culture or peersKey TakeawaysFear of wasting your life usually grows in the gap between what you expected and what God is actually doing.Comparison blinds you to the quiet work of grace happening beneath the surface.God never wastes obedience; He wastes nothing surrendered to Him.Slow seasons are often the most formative, teaching humility, trust, and resilience.The antidote to fear isn't striving harder but resting more deeply in God's faithfulness.Faith Talks is a monthly program on the Thee Generation Podcast designed to help young ladies grow in faith and live it out daily.

The moment you let go of your nets and follow Jesus, everything you thought you needed becomes small compared to the life He offers.
In this episode, Bobby reflects on six months of pastoring and draws young people into a powerful truth from Psalm 32. God desires to lead His children with the slightest glance, not the painful pressure required for a stubborn horse or mule. Through vivid imagery and practical challenge, you'll hear how walking closely with God creates a life guided by subtle nudges instead of force — and surrounded by His steadfast love. This is a call to live so near to Him that a simple look is enough to move your heart.Topics DiscussedAdjusting from itinerant evangelism to long-term shepherdingThe spiritual impact of “Awake '25” and formative influencesHow God leads through intimate relationship rather than forceThe meaning of “I will guide thee with mine eye” in Psalm 32The danger of spiritual stubbornness and the imagery of the bit and bridleThe process of being “broken” and why surrender requires trustHow God's hesed — His covenant love — surrounds the yielded believerMoving from external pressure to internal responsivenessPractical examples of hearing God's quiet nudges in daily lifeEncouragement for young people to walk closely and obediently with GodKey TakeawaysGod desires to lead you relationally, not mechanically. Intimacy makes His smallest prompt clear.A stubborn heart forces God to use painful circumstances to get your attention; a surrendered heart responds to a whisper.Trust is the foundation of surrender. You will not follow God's subtle leadings unless you believe His way is good.God's lovingkindness surrounds those who walk near Him, protecting and guiding them in every direction.Yielding to God daily positions you to live a life marked by His presence, His prompting, and His overflowing love.Resource LinksDr. Jim Van Gelderen – “0/100” / “God's Theological Continental Divide”(Link placeholder: INSERT 0/100 SERMON URL)Additional sermons by Dr. John Van Gelderen(Link placeholder: INSERT JOHN VAN GELDEREN SERMON COLLECTION URL)Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast(Link placeholder: INSERT FBC PODCAST URL)Current sermon series (Matthew, 1 Corinthians, Proverbs, Galatians)(Link placeholder: INSERT SERIES PAGE OR MAIN SERMON ARCHIVE URL) If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

Recognizing Jesus as Savior changes your destiny—recognizing Him as Lord changes your life.
In this world, evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse. God is searching for a people who will pay the price in their own personal lives to please Him. Only after we are willing to confess our sin can we call out to God in prayer. The first request God desires us to make is for His will to be done. The Lord is still working on us. He is opposed to the wickedness of our world, but it is in our hearts and hands that God will first do His work.

Bobby looks back on the life and ministry of Pastor Russ G. Young, the faithful shepherd who shaped his family, church, and calling. From a hungry youth group that exploded from ~15 teens to hundreds, to a church built—literally and spiritually—on the Word, Pastor Young modeled uncompromising preaching, Spirit-dependence, and love for souls. Bobby recounts personal moments (including sharing gratitude at Pastor Young's bedside) and connects the story to a call for total surrender and confidence that, in Christ, we are “more than conquerors.” The episode is part remembrance and part rallying cry for young believers to say “yes” to Jesus and watch God use their lives.Topics DiscussedPastor Russ Young's legacy in Maple Shade/Pennsauken, NJPreaching the Bible plainly and applying it to real teen issuesYouth ministry that was both fun and gospel-focused (“Bigger & Better,” outreach, soulwinning)God's providence in redirecting callings (missionary aviation → pastor)The power of Spirit-anointed preaching and evangelismSurrender, obedience, and living as “more than conquerors” in ChristGratitude, grief, and hope in the face of deathKey TakeawaysFaithful, clear Bible preaching—without apology or compromise—shapes lives and churches.God often redirects good plans to His best; say “yes” to Jesus and trust His leading.Healthy youth ministry blends joyful activity with bold, gospel-centered proclamation.Legacy multiplies through people reached, discipled, and sent.In Christ, even grief is framed by victory: we are more than conquerors through His love.

A — About: This passage reveals Jeremiah's final counsel to King Zedekiah—God calls him to surrender to Babylon, not as an act of weakness, but of obedience to divine will. Zedekiah fears men more than God, while Jeremiah courageously delivers God's truth despite danger. B — Best Verse: Jeremiah 38:17–18 (NKJV) — "Thus says the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'If you surely surrender to the king of Babylon's princes, then your soul shall live; this city shall not be burned with fire, and you and your house shall live.'" C — Call to Action: We are called to trust God's word completely, even when obedience seems costly. Human fear and self-preservation lead to ruin, but humble surrender to God's command brings life and peace. Follow Christ, the perfect King, who surrendered Himself for our salvation.
What does it mean to actually surrender to God?... and how do we begin to do it? There are seasons when God feels silent, when prayers go unanswered, or when our hearts wrestle with waiting.

In Luke 20:19-26, Jesus confronts a cunning trap from the religious elite. As dual citizens of earth and heaven, we must navigate the plots that seek to divide us by maintaining a God-centered perspective and engaging in faithful practices that honor both our earthly responsibilities and our ultimate allegiance to King Jesus.
This is message 3 in The Names of God Series Genesis 15:1-8 Adonai is the name that declares God as Lord and Master, the One who holds full authority over His people while taking complete responsibility for their care. To call Him Adonai is to surrender in obedience, trusting Him as the faithful Master who provides and protects, and as the Loving Husband who binds Himself to His people in covenant love.

Are you exhausted from trying to be a “better Christian,” follow all the rules, or just fix yourself? In this episode, Heather Creekmore dives into the age-old dilemma every believer faces: Am I supposed to be working on me—and if so, how much of it is up to me, and how much is God’s job? Inspired by the Crowder song “He’s Working on Me Still,” Heather explores the difference between self-powered striving and Spirit-powered transformation. Using honest stories, biblical wisdom (especially from Galatians 5), and practical illustrations, she helps Christian women understand why hustling for holiness leaves us tired—and how true freedom and growth comes when we move from “I’m working on me” to “He’s working on me.” In This Episode: Why spiritual striving, religious rule-following, and willpower can’t bring long-term freedom How diet culture mindsets sneak into our faith and make us rely on formulas instead of God What it means to step out of the driver’s seat and let God be in control (with relatable analogies and humor) The power of relationship over religion and why faith is more than just “doing all the things” How to recognize if your spiritual life is based on head knowledge, not heart transformation Practical steps to move from self-reliance to Spirit-dependence—including honest reflection questions and the importance of daily worship Key Takeaway:Stop striving for self-improvement and start leaning into God’s grace. When we let go of self-reliance and invite the Holy Spirit to lead, we experience true rest, freedom, and lasting spiritual growth. Mentions & Resources: 40-Day Journey: Starts October 1st, with groups beginning October 7th.

This is message 24 in The Power of God's Name James 5:13-16 Anointing in the name of the Lord is an act of faith that declares total surrender to God's will. It is not a mystical ritual but a recognition that life, health, and even weakness belong fully to Him. Through prayer, confession, and dependence on His power, believers acknowledge that God alone has authority over their circumstances. Whether He grants physical healing or calls them to serve through ongoing weakness, the surrendered life becomes a testimony of His sovereignty, holiness, and grace.

This is message 22 in The Power of God's Name Philippians 2:5-13 Christ, though fully God, chose humility, taking the form of a servant and submitting to death on the cross to fulfill the Father's will. Because of His obedience, God exalted Him and gave Him the name above every name, before which every knee will bow and every tongue confess His lordship. This truth calls all people to live in surrender to His authority, working out their salvation with reverence, knowing that God is actively shaping both the desire and the ability to accomplish His will.

This edition of our Summer Mixtape series features an incredible word about surrendering to God's will and trusting His timing from Andrea Wurzburger.
As I think about surrender, I'm reminded of how much of a struggle it can be for us. After all, surrender feels like losing. No one wants to raise the white flag of surrender.Main Points:1. We must see that everything we need is on the other side of surrendering our life to Jesus. As long as we are resistant and focused on ourselves, we'll miss out on what God could have done in and through our lives.2. In prayer, let's search our hearts today and listen for the Holy Spirit to address those areas of our own lives that we may not have surrendered to God.3. Let's experience the joy of a life fully surrendered to God. May we be able to truly say, “All to thee my blessed Savior, I surrender all.”Today's Scripture Verses:Mark 10:17-22 - “As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.” “Teacher,” the man replied, “I've obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven't done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man's face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group
Have you ever wondered how to walk in victory when your heart feels heavy with defeat? On this week’s episode of The Love Offering podcast, I had the joy of interviewing Theresa M. Miller about her powerful six-week Bible study, The Posture of Victory: Finding True Peace Amidst Our Everyday Battles. Rooted in Psalm 63, this study is a heartfelt and practical guide to clinging to Christ through anxiety, depression, betrayal, and every challenge life throws our way. Theresa invites us to experience the psalm like never before—examining how David postured himself before God in the wilderness and how we can do the same today. With authenticity and biblical depth, she equips us to thrive in our God-given anointing, not just survive. If you’ve been feeling spiritually weary or overwhelmed, I believe this conversation will give you fresh encouragement and a renewed sense of purpose. Together, we talk about: What it means to walk in victory, even in the wilderness How posture influences our peace Practical ways to embrace Christ’s presence in our everyday battles Tune in now and be reminded: victory isn’t about striving harder—it’s about leaning deeper into the One who fights for you. Standing with you in victory,Rachael P.S. Theresa’s wisdom and compassion shine so beautifully in this episode. Forward this to a friend who could use encouragement in their battle today!

God isn’t afraid of your struggle. In fact, He’s inviting you to face it, because He knows what’s on the other side. Stop running, hold onto Him, and let Him change you from the inside out.
