There are a lot of areas in life where it is ok to lack certainty. However, when it comes to our relationship with God, we should want to know for certain Who He is and what He is really like. Thankfully God wants His people to know the true nature of His character and love. Join us this week as we begin our summer series through 1 John - "Love Made Known".

God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  That means that as long as we walk in darkness, we can’t have fellowship with God.  We are all sinners in need of a savior.  Thankfully God has made provision for that need. Teacher: Justin P. Sivley

We all deal with bondage to some extent, whether it is the bondage of fear, depression, disease, grief or countless other ways. Thankfully God specializes in rescuing us from bondage. Sometimes he does it in miraculous ways as he did with Peter, Paul, and Silas. But for most of us, it may not be a …

In this world there are very helpful agents and medicines, and there are sadly many false medicines that claim to help us but never really solve the problems we have. We need profound help that can cure our ailments, both physically and spiritually. Thankfully God has sent one to us, that when used and used properly, will change our lives by solving all our problems. We will discuss this profound help and how to stay near it. Be encouraged today!

Send us a textIn Genesis 22:2 God said, "Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go and offer him as a burnt offering." God called on Abraham to make five great sacrifices: his country, his family, his nephew Lot, his son's Ishmael, and Isaac. Each sacrifice involved something obviously dear to Abraham, but each resulted in greater blessings from God. God was testing Abraham's faith as He does ours to prove it's character and strength.  Thankfully God does not always test us to such extremes, but when He does test us it is to make us more like Him.

When we recognize what God is calling us to do, we must pursue that calling. #theloriclineshow Interested in learning more about becoming a devoted follower of Christ? Go to follow.lifeword.org! ~~~ What are you pursuing? You might say you are pursuing your passion. Is pursuing your passion always a good thing? It depends on the heart behind it and the motivation. Is it rooted in the spirit or rooted in the flesh? There IS a big difference. For me, as a believer in Jesus, I am motivated by the spirit of the living God in me. No longer is it about my will and my way, it's His will and His way for my life. I am not my own. I was created for a purpose for such a time as this. Here's the cool part, that purpose, becomes my passion because I was gifted for it and designed to fulfill it. That's the way God works. Oftentimes though, we get distracted. We get overwhelmed. We lose sight of what matters most and we clutter up our heart, life and home with things that lead us away from that passion and purpose. We settle for idols, cheap imitations and substitutes of God's best for our life and as we pursue those things, we find ourselves lost. Thankfully God is a new morning mercy kind of God. His grace is sufficient and his love for me never fails. His desire is for me to know His will. In this season, when so many find themselves Spring cleaning and clearing out the clutter to move forward, I am taking steps to do the same. Pray. Purge. Pursue. These three steps have led me to be still and listen to where God is leading me to move forward in areas of my life. I'm doing more listening than speaking and if you know me, you know that's not easy. But where I am weak, He is strong and I am leaning IN to hear God's voice and be moved to ready myself for what He has for me. Pray and listen to what God wants to gently reveal to you. Purge and clean out what needs to be made new, pruned or thrown out of your life. Pursue with passion where God is leading you. Pursue is our last step. This is where we are confident of what God has spoken and we know the steps we are to take by faith and we are now at the starting block getting ready to run! Our feet are locked and loaded and the path is clear. Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Do you see the example of Jesus? Pray. Purge. Pursue. He listened to the Father. He spent time in prayer. He knew the Father's will. He laid down His own. He ran the race that was set before Him, endured the cross and made a way for you and me. Even though the world may tell you different, this life is not about you. God created the world and knit you together in your mother's womb for a purpose. That purpose rests completely IN Him. He has joy for you today and it is found when you pursue Him, because as you do, the path and purpose for your life becomes clear and you can't help but pursue it with passion. That's the truth. Don't be overwhelmed in this season, do what I'm doing. Pray. Purge. Pursue. Joy isn't found in doing all the things we should be doing, it's found at the feet of Jesus. We listen for His voice, move by his leading and pursue the plans He has for us. Let's ready ourselves for the race we were created to run. I'm Lori Cline.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. — Psalm 34:18 On the radio the other day I heard a familiar song about heartbreak. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of songs written throughout history about broken hearts and lost loves. Have you ever wondered why musicians and music producers keep writing about that same thing? Maybe people do not tire of those types of songs because everyone can relate to them in some way. Nearly everyone has experienced feelings of emptiness after a breakup, or they have asked themselves “What went wrong?” after losing their love. Thankfully God's Word provides some guidelines to help us answer our questions and give us peace of mind when heartache and heartbreak happen. When we hurt, Scripture can provide comfort. It also gives us a way to express how we feel, especially when we don't know what to say or how to say it. Much of that language can be found in the Psalms, and many psalms were written by people who shared their feelings candidly and honestly. David, the writer of Psalm 34, didn't have to search long for peace, and neither do we. God is near to those who hurt, and we can trust today that the One who gave the sun its ability to shine, who told the waters how far they could go, and who constantly watches over the universe is also near to you—and he's saying, “I've got this, and I've got you.” Lord, draw near to all who are hurting today, and may they know you are holding them in your hands. Amen.

As you face new fearful challenges, recall his goodness, love, and faithfulness. Take time to grab his hand and walk forward with his peace.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below Perfect Love  By: Amanda Idleman 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. Have you experienced God's perfect love in your life?  What did it feel like?  How did it change your situation or perspective?  God's love is the one and only force powerful enough to truly change us. To redeem us. To rescue us from our own sin, fear, and confusion. His love makes us perfect.  The primary quality of perfect love is that with this kind of love present fear is banished. When fear enters a situation, that means we aren't walking in God's perfect love. With that in mind, it's clear that we are not living in the full reality of God's love so much of the time.  I know that I, for one, live with fear and anxiety as my default approach more often than not. When an unexpected expense pops up my gut reaction is anxiety over how the extra bill will be paid rather than a peace that the God who knows every hair on my head will provide exactly what I need. If my child is struggling I immediately hop into Mom action mode trying to control the situation for their benefit rather than pausing to pray for wisdom. If I experience conflict in my marriage or with others I love, I fret endlessly over how things played out, instead of going to God in repentance and seeking His gracious understanding.  I live with fear and anxiety because I live by my strength not by his grace.  That's why we need to be reminded that this Christian life we have been gifted is not one about rules or measurements. It's a grand love story. When we are tempted to fear we are invited to recall our first love and all the ways God has so graciously provided for us.  Remember how the last time you felt a financial pinch, God provided! How he has held your marriage together despite both of your imperfections. How he gifted you that child and loves them even more than you do. His love is deep, wide, and relentlessly pursuing us.  When we grab onto that perfect love the voice of fear grows quieter and quieter until it is silenced because God's love casts out all fear. FEar and love cannot coexist.  This week I was convicted to practice what I preach. I felt anxiety well up in me as a child we know is at risk and I am not sure if or how I could be the one to help care for them. I am afraid of how my lack of action would impact the child and how my potential actions would impact my family. It feels like either way I'd be letting someone down or putting someone at risk. I am afraid.  Then I was reminded of this verse and how God loves this child that is being knit together in a womb and my first job is to pray for this child. His love and provision is big enough to give me wisdom and this child a hope and a future. I have to hold onto God's hand and rely on his peaceful guidance rather than fretting over the many unknowns that could unfold in this wild situation.  It amazes me that no matter how many times I have witnessed God's miracle working power in my life I still so quickly forget and doubt his loving sovereign work in my life. I am like the Isrealites, wandering and so quickly looking to my own self-made gods to solve the problems of my own wilderness journey, rather than looking to the one that promises to deliver me to the promise of Heaven. Thankfully God's love is patient and kind. He allows us to repent, to learn, and to return to Him over and over as we journey through life. For that amazing grace I am so thankful.  Intersecting Faith and Life Have you truly experienced God's life changing, fear banishing love? If not, take time to pray and ask God to show you how to fall in love with him. If you have, reflect on what God has done for you. As you face new fearful challenges, recall his goodness, love, and faithfulness. Take time to grab his hand and walk forward with his peace.  Listen to Do It Again by Elevation Worship this week as a way to remind your spirit that the God who did will for you will do it over and over again!  Further Reading  3 Dangers of Having a Controlling Spirit  Bible Verses about God's LoveHow to Understand and Internalize God's Deep Love for Us Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

In what ways has pride gotten in the way of you embracing God's generous grace in your life? How have you seen God use your weakness as a chance for him to display his power at work on your behalf? Is repentance a part of your daily life? Bring your failures to his feet and embrace the gracious power of forgiveness at work in your life today! SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts:Your Daily Prayer: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcript Below: Grace Upon Grace By: Amanda Idleman 2 Corinthians 12:9   But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. The more time you spend on Earth the more aware you become of your great need for grace. We need grace upon grace to love God and love others as the Bible calls us to do. The beautiful thing about God's kingdom is that he sees our weaknesses as an opportunity to show his great love for us. His power is made perfect when I fail! He is there for me when I am in need, when I don't have the right answer to the problem, and the list goes on.  As a biological, foster, and adoptive Mom I am learning to embrace grace in a whole new way. I am not enough for the task in front of me everyday. I am weak, I am impatient, I get tired, cranky, and I can't always give my kids everything they need from me. I'll be honest this reality that I am weak, that I need Jesus, and that he's called me to a work that is more than I can handle on my own has left me feeling very discouraged. There are many days that I do not want to embrace grace. I just choose to wallow, feeling like a failure, and not trusting that God provides all that I need.  My journey has highlighted one reality that when I live with pride I can't grasp onto the grace that is always available to me through Christ. My pride says I can figure this out all on my own. It says I don't deserve to be forgiven when I mess up. It keeps God at arms length rather than choosing to really trust that he is as good and capable as he says He is!  Thankfully God's Spirit is at work in me and he corrects my pride by gently showing me that the Bible invites me to participate in a beautiful exchange. Romans 6:14 reports, “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” Grace is what covers our sins and we cannot be forgiven until we ask to be forgiven. We have to participate in the opportunity we have to receive grace. We must release our sin to Him and accept his promise of forgiveness.  In summary living a grace filled life starts with repentance. Many of us long-time-doing-good Christians forget that daily repentance is essential to our faith journey. I never outgrow my need for Jesus. As I mature in my faith what comes more clear is how dependent I am on his good gifts. How much my weakness is abundant and his grace makes something beautiful out of my brokenness.  As we embrace repentance that grace then leads us into a relationship with our Creator. Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”God does not stop at just making right our wrongs he invites us near to his throne of grace the place we can find mercy and relationship with Him. It's in the presence of the King that we find the fruits of the Spirit. We experience love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Then we through the power of the Holy Spirit can embody the character of God.  Grace upon grace is what we must cling to each day. When we realize this truth we can let go of some of the pressure we put on ourselves to ‘get things right.' We can place that worry back onto Jesus and once again rely on his power to do what only he can do in our lives. I am so grateful for the great generosity of God at work in my life and your life everyday.  Intersecting Faith and Life  In what ways has pride gotten in the way of you embracing God's generous grace in your life?

Some of our biggest mistakes come when our souls are hungry and we seek satisfaction outside of what God has for us. Just because something looks good doesn't mean it is good for us. Thankfully God provides for the needs of his people even in the dry spaces of life. With Him, the seemingly mundane obedience has divine significance. He can turn harm into a blessing. He can draw the toxic out of our lives. Just add flour. (Talk by Joshua Ott)

There is a great problem. Just because someone in one generation trusts in Christ and His wisdom is no guarantee those who follow them in the next generation will.

Are you believing LIES about God? You might be surprised. The enemy tells Christians these 7 lies about God and his nature to try to keep us away from Him. Thankfully God's Word can dispel them. You may be hindered from living your best life in Christ because of common lies many men believe. In today's 10-minute equipping episode, Pastor Jim Ramos lists 6 lies you may believe about God (found in Michael Thompson's book, “King Me”), adds in a bonus 7th, and teaches you how to dispel them with the Biblical truth. 

Jesus is not only fully God, but became fully human. Because of this truth he understands us better than anyone else. In his humanity Jesus experienced and understands fear and anxiety, and he models a way through it to trust and rest in God's love, grace, and control. Often anxiety boils down to just that, not having control. Thankfully God deeply loves us, is near, and is always in full control. When anxiety and fear set in, we should first pause and recognize it. Name it. Then reflect on what our root fear is and on what is actually true (i.e. God's love, control, and nearness), identifying and rooting out lies and any potential sinful causes of our anxiety. Finally we still need to live our lives, but to reengage with Jesus in the middle of everything. This will be a pattern we need to repeat continually as we seek to pursue Christ even in our anxiety. (It's also noted that for some, anxiety is flat-out debilitating and to overcome it we should seek professional biblical counseling and help.)

We must have Faith. Thankfully God provides what we need. This does not relinquish us of the respons...

This week we talked with Lisa Cabiles. Lisa is a mother of 3, ultrarunner, and triathlete. After surviving a disabling illness, Lisa came out the other side with a strong resolve to live life to the very fullest. She has run 41 marathons to date, including completing the Boston Marathon in 2018, 2019, and 2020. More recently, Lisa has delved into the Ultramarathon and Triathlon worlds by completing multiple 50k, 50 miler, and 100 miler races while simultaneously training for IRONMAN 70.3 races. Lisa finished the Boulder 70.3 IRONMAN and qualified for Worlds, as an age group winner. She also qualified for the 2023 Kona IRONMAN World Championships at the 2023 North American IRONMAN Championships in Texas. However, only 11 days before Kona, Lisa was hit by a reckless driver while on one of her last training rides. She is blessed to have even survived the accident suffering multiple skull fractures, a subarachnoid hemorrhage and hematoma, rib fracture, liver laceration, and pneumothorax. Grateful to be alive for her three children, Lisa hopes that as time goes on, she will be completely healed and be able to get back to running at the level she was before the accident and again compete in ultras. Thankfully God has given her a fighting spirit that has overcome so much in the past already.

I am a fan of muscial theater. Musical theater when done at its best takes aspects of our lives and shows them in a different way to evoke emotion out of the audience and in turn give us new insights into our own lives. That's what the best ones do. One of the most popular Broadway shows ever did something very different to invoke thinking about our time. The show opens with it's main characters all on stage and they pose a question to the audience.. essentially the question is – given that there are 525,600 minutes in a calendar year, how should we spend them? How do we measure a year? I think this is a good question for us to consider today. As we approach the new year, it's a great time to reset and refocus. A conversation I keep having with people has been around Time.. Many of us are feeling much anxiousness because of our calendars and but our solutions don't seem to fix it.. How do we make sure we aren't at a similar spot a year from now? How can we make sure we get the most out of this year? Thankfully God gives us insight into this dilemma in the oldest Psalm recorded in Psalm 90 to help us spend our time wisely and if we can do this again and again we can look back on 2024 and say It was a really good year. 1. Realize our time is short (Psalm 90:1-11) Genesis 3:19 ; Romans 6:23; Ecclesiastes 7:2-3 2. Seek God's wisdom with our time (Psalm 90:12-15) John 15:3;Romans 5:8 3. Focus on God's purposes with our time (Psalm 90:16-17) Romans 8:31-32

Loneliness hits all of us: now or in upcoming life changes. Gen Z is reported as being the loneliest generations, and while we haven't been tracking loneliness across all generations, we do know that so many young adults feel isolated and trapped. When we are alone, we are so much more likely to believe lies instead of God's Word. Thankfully God gives us a roadmap to intimacy with Him and deep community with others, even in the midst of feeling lonely. So whether you are lonely now or coming up to a season of life change, come check out Week 2 of Mixed Emotions as we look at God's design for us to combat loneliness and bring it to Him.

In Amos' day, excitement was also starting to build. Folks could hardly wait for the coming Day of the Lord. They imagined that it would be a bright and shining day of celebration – a party to beat them all. However, the prophet wanted them to know that they were not prepared for what they thought they would be celebrating. It would be day of darkness. Thankfully God has given us a Savior, who has faced the darkness for us, and in whom we are prepared.

Have you ever felt like the characters of the Bible weren't relatable? Their stories are encouraging and inspiring, but most of our lives look very different than theirs. Thankfully God tells us in Genesis one that all humans matter and have a significant purpose. This includes ruling the earth, getting the most out of its resources, and producing good. If you're wondering how to do that in your own life, check out this message to find out!

The fifth commandment states: "Honor your father and your mother." For many this can be a difficult command to swallow, especially if your parents have caused us harm or pain. In other words, how do we honor those who we feel might not deserve it? Thankfully God's word is not silent on the matter, and it offers us practical insight into how to live out the fifth commandment in the everyday stuff of life.

What are your largest regrets? Perhaps something that if it were known you would be ashamed. Thankfully God sees all these and waits for us to confess, forsake and learn from these failures. One thing that none of us should be ashamed of is God's glorious message. What is it about the Gospel that motivates us not to be ashamed of it? It has to do with its Power. Let's praise God for His power this Sunday. All Hail the Power Jesus Name!

How does one get free of being enslaved to sin? The answer is simple: DEATH! Although if everyone dropped dead when they accepted Christ then evangelism would be even harder than it already is.

It's tough living in a world that has little or no capacity to define good and evil. Much of what we see in society is a redefining of what was formerly understood to be evil as now suddenly the "new" good! Thankfully God isn't confused about what confuses so many people. His truth (the Bible) and knowing His True One, Jesus, shines a billion watt flashlight on the darkness in our world.

Just before Christmas, I felt unexpectedly led to not just "fast" but to specifically give up food... okay God... for 3 Days... what!?... okay God...  and all your Apps... okay God. No sooner did I have this knowing and certainty that I was hearing the small still voice of God telling me to do this.... did I then quickly catch myself questioning, negotiating.. my nature knew it would be hard. "I want to be able to work out.  I've never done a no food fast for even an entire day let alone 3... can I even do this?  What about my clients?  What about my upcoming workshop, I need to be promoting it..."   Thankfully God has taught me how to discern my voice over His (most of the time:)), how to catch my nature thoughts and bring them to Him.  And His Spirit was thankfully so heavy on me I just as quickly caught my thoughts, brought them back to Him and committed to the fast.     And let me tell you, it was transformative and of course HIS timing, HIS ways are always so much better than our own.   In this episode I share; My experience What I am beginning to learn about fasting as a form of worship.  I reference a message taught by Stephanie Ike click here to view her full teaching on YouTube. The practical steps I took that equipped me to go without food for 3 days.   And why I've decided a 3 day no food fast gets to be an intentional practice for me in 2023 and beyond (I've strategically scheduled them into my calendar) I trust that you've stumbled onto this episode for a reason and pray you clearly hear what is meant for you and that you be strengthened and encouraged to take inspired action as you follow God's small still voice for yourself.   As always, I'd love to connect with you.  You can find me on social media platforms as Rebecca Tabbert.  You can also email me at rebecca@rebeccatabbert.com.   If you'd like to work together for purpose of reclaiming power and authority over your mind and emotion so you turn to God instead over food, radically transform your body and step in to the even more He has for you than send me an email or go to www.rebeccatabbert.com/kingdomfitacademy Much love and respect,  Your truth tellin' Coach and Sister in Christ - Rebecca

The world is in an identity crisis. People are choosing their own pronouns, locker rooms, and wardrobes - this is truly a crisis. Thankfully God has the answer to the question, “Who am I?“! Let's consider what God has to say about our true identity!

A word from the Lord and a praise to get your day jump started!!

One of the most frustrating things for a Christian man, is not having clear direction for his life. Not knowing where to work, who to marry, where to live or how to spend his time can drive a man nuts and in fact lead him to a dark place of depression. Thankfully God has not left us to ourselves to figure out our lives. He has given us His word which is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. He has given us an open door to come to Him anytime in prayer while promising us to hear and answer according to His will. He has also given us trusted brothers in Christ, where we can find wise counsel to help us with direction for our lives. On today's podcast we are talking about how the Holy Spirit desires to lead us into all truth, showing us clear direction for our lives. We will not find every specific answer to every specific prayer in the Bible, so we must learn to rely upon the leading of the Holy Spirit to help us know what to do and where to go in our time on earth. I hope that you are encouraged by today's podcast.

No one likes taking tests.  If you do, you're an anomaly (and might need prayer)!  The average person doesn't like taking any tests: driving tests, heart tests, COVID tests, or ACT tests.  The truth is, there are some folks, maybe even you, who suffer from extreme anxiety whenever the possibility of taking a test arises.    However, even though there is a certain amount of disdain for testing, we all agree that testing is essential.  For example, you are getting ready for a major surgery.  You can approach your operation with confidence if you know that your surgeon has passed all of their tests.  Oh, and not just passed, but was an "A" student.  If we have a choice, we want an "A" student cutting us open and not a "C" student!  Let's say you are getting on an airplane for a big trip.  As you board the plane you want your pilot to be in the top of his or her class.  You want to have confidence that they passed all the testing and didn't skip one requirement.  It's not very comforting to think that your pilot got an "A" in take offs, but got a "D" in landings!  We not only care about tests, but all agree they are essential.  We just don't like to take tests when it comes to our everyday, personal lives. God cares about you, more then you care about you.  God is all in, on your maturity and character development.  As the saying goes, God cares more about your character then your comfort.  Most of us, unfortunately, flip the order around.  However, with character development comes...testing.  In fact James says: "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." ~ James 1:2-3 James says, "trials of many kinds"; there are a variety of obstacles, hardships and tests we will face on our journey of following Jesus.  Yet, they are there for a reason.  According to James, those tests move us towards maturity.  Most Christians don't have a maturity plan laid out for their lives.  Thankfully God does!  He will take whatever obstacle comes our way and provide us with the skill and resources to not only make our way through it, but in so doing--mature.     So how can a Christian embrace the hardships of life and mature in faith?  That's the question we will answer this episdoe of All Day, Every Day.  Don't miss it! 

February is a month when we celebrate love, and on Valentine's Day, we hope for the attention of others. But when people fall short of our expectations, we're left feeling disillusioned and disappointed. Thankfully God's divine love never disappoints. And His love is so much bigger than forgiveness and a ticket to Heaven. He likes you – in fact, He's crazy about you! – and He infuses you with the love of Christ at the core of your being. In this message, my hope is for you to see His enormous, incredible love for you like never before and hear Him saying, “Won't you be mine?”

No one likes to wait! I know I sure don't.  Doctor's waiting rooms, a drive-thru, my RX to be filled, my kid to unload the dishwasher after asking 2 times... the list goes on and on! But WAITING on God is entirely something different. It's something we shouldn't try to "make" happen but it can be HARD to wait on something He's promised or shown us He's going to do.  We are impatient by nature. Thankfully God knows that. But BOY the testimony that comes when God shows up and shows out! He's so faithful and even in the waiting, He's doing work in our life! In this episode, I'm going to give you 3 things you could do while you wait! My prayer, as always, is that this episode blesses and helps you in your daily walk with Christ. ~Christina Let's connect!! I want to hear from you!
