James 1:19-20 (NASB) 19 You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 20 for a man's anger does not bring about the righteousness of God. Theme: Growing in godly communication/speech is an integral part of every Christian's spiritual maturity. Three Keys to Godly Communication 1) Open your ears (1:19) 2) Control your tongue (1:19) 3) Control your emotions (1:19-20)

Is your faith alive—or just something you say? In this powerful episode, we unpack James 2:14–26 and the often-misunderstood relationship between faith and works.

Here is perhaps the Bible's clearest definition of faith: “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Abel, Enoch, and Noah are all examples of this faith, trusting in unseen realities and living in costly ways because of this faith.

What's the difference between following Jesus and being a Christian? Genuine discipleship means dying daily to selfish desires and embracing a new identity in Christ. This isn't about working harder. It's about surrendering further and letting the Spirit transform us from within. Listen now and be inspired to embrace daily surrender that brings rest and freedom.

James 1:17-18 (NASB) 17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. 18 In the exercise of His will He gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures. Theme: God, who is the wonderful, wondrous Giver of physical and spiritual life, should receive continuous gratitude from us as His new creations. 1) Who God is >> His Wonderful Character (1:17) 2) What God does >> His Wondrous Works (1:18)

Here is perhaps the Bible's clearest definition of faith: “the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” Abel, Enoch, and Noah are all examples of this faith, trusting in unseen realities and living in costly ways because of this faith.

In this podcast episode, Mateja Todorovska shares her remarkable journey from growing up in a Catholic church to becoming deeply involved in New Age practices and the occult. After believing she was serving God through these practices, Mateja's life changed dramatically in December 2018 when she encountered Jesus while watching a YouTube video. This revelation led her to repent and fully embrace Christianity, even leading her former New Age followers to Christ. Mateja lives in Slovenia with her family, works with Josiah Venture, and is committed to helping others through her faith. Mateja also provides guidance on how to engage lovingly with those who are still involved in New Age beliefs.

James 1:9-11 (NASB) 9 Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; 10 but the rich person is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out. Theme: Believers, whether rich or poor, should find their true satisfaction in Jesus Christ above all else. 1) The poor Christian's boast (1:9) 2) The rich Christian's boast (1:10-11)

True Faith Continues ...

Faith without works is dead.  James makes it clear: if your faith doesn't move you to act in obedience, it's not real faith. Abraham's obedience, even in the hardest test, showed the world that his faith was alive and complete. Join Pastor Robert and his wife Carolyn as they explain how actions reveal the evidence of our faith—and why obedience is the true mark of a follower of Christ.   One by One is the Podcast Ministry of Pastor Robert L. Scott Jr. of Quench Life Christian Fellowship. To learn more about QLCF, visit quenchlife.org. To support our ministry as we spread the Gospel, visit quenchlife.org/giving.

Sometimes it's easy to treat our faith like a transaction—doing our part and expecting God to do His. But trusting God means stepping into something much greater than a simple exchange.

The King's Authority: True Faith

James 1:5-8 (NASB) 5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For that person ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. Theme: Christians should seek spiritual maturity by asking God for wisdom and praying with a believing heart. Some “How-tos” of gaining wisdom and making petitions to God 1) Acknowledge your need for wisdom (1:5) 2) Ask God for wisdom (1:5) 3) Ask God in faith, for everything (1:6-8)  

What is faith made of? Many people believe they have saving faith, but the book of James challenges us to measure our faith by our actions. In this episode, Pastor Robert and his wife Carolyn unpack what true, biblical faith looks like, why actions must accompany belief, and how obedience reveals whether our faith is alive or dead.   One by One is the Podcast Ministry of Pastor Robert L. Scott Jr. of Quench Life Christian Fellowship. To learn more about QLCF, visit quenchlife.org. To support our ministry as we spread the Gospel, visit quenchlife.org/giving.

Albu Van Eeden-True Faith by RealCUF

James 1:2-4 (NASB) 2 Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Theme: We as Christians can take joy in our trials because we know that God is using them to grow us to spiritual maturity. Three Encouragements to help us deal with life's trials: 1) Put on the Right Attitude in our Trials (1:2) 2) Have Accurate Knowledge about our Trials (1:3) 3) Understand the Intended Outcome of our Trials (1:4)

What if the key to resilience wasn't about avoiding suffering—but learning to embrace it with grit, faith, and silence?In this episode of Decidedly, we sit down with Father Stephen J. Gadberry – Catholic priest, Air Force veteran, and ultra-endurance athlete – to uncover how tragedy, discipline, and devotion shaped his approach to decision-making and leadership. From losing his father and sister in a car accident at age eight, to serving in the military, to leading thousands in his parish, Father Stephen reveals how resilience is forged in silence and tested in service.We dive deep into the role of suffering in spiritual growth, the power of identity before mission, and why leaders must learn to “know where their mess is.” This conversation isn't about perfection – it's about the freedom that comes from honesty, faith, and radical perseverance. If you've ever wrestled with pain, purpose, or what it means to lead with integrity, this episode will shift how you see your own journey.KEY TOPICSHow childhood tragedy forged resilience and gritWhy silence is essential for strong decision-makingThe dangers of radical independence, and how to ask for helpVulnerability in leadership: why showing your mess frees othersFaith, perseverance, and the gift of sufferingIdentity before mission: why who you are comes before what you doHow to discern between God's will and personal preferenceWhy men are hungry for authentic guidance, and what leaders must do about itLessons from endurance racing, the military, and the priesthoodCHAPTERS00:00 Introduction03:15 Father Stephen's Childhood Tragedy and Early Faith07:45 How Grit Became the Theme of His Life10:30 Resilience, Independence, and Asking for Help14:20 Discernment: God's Will vs. Personal Preference18:00 Vulnerability and Leadership in the Church21:15 Why Men Are Craving Authentic Guidance25:00 Identity Before Mission: The Foundation of Leadership28:15 Making Hard Decisions and Setting Boundaries32:00 The Role of Coachability in Growth and Faith35:40 Training for the Leadville 100 and Lessons from Endurance Sports40:00 Competing on American Ninja Warrior to Preach the Gospel43:15 Wrestling with Psychedelics, Spirituality, and Discernment47:00 Father Stephen's Top Tip for Decision-Making: Silence#FaithAndResilience #DecisionMaking #CatholicPodcast #FatherStephen #GritAndGrace #LeadershipThroughFaith #ResilientLiving #SpiritualGrowth #IdentityBeforeMission #VulnerabilityInLeadership #DecidedlyPodcast #TrueFaith #PowerOfSilence #HealingThroughFaith #CatholicLeadershipCONNECT WITH USwww.decidedlypodcast.com Join us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/decidedlypodcast Join us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/decidedlypodcast Shawn's Instagram: www.instagram.com/shawn_d_smith Sanger's Instagram: www.instagram.com/sangersmith MAKING A FINANCIAL DECISION?At Decidedly Wealth Management, we focus on decision-making as the foundational element of success, in our effort to empower families to purposefully apply their wealth to fulfill their values and build a thriving legacy.LEARN MOREwww.decidedlywealth.com SUBSCRIBE TO OUR WEEKLY DECISION-MAKING TIP EMAILJoin us every Wednesday for more strategies to DEFEAT bad decision-making - one episode at a time!CONNECT WITH FATHER STEPHENInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatherstephenjgadberry/?hl=en Father Stephen Gadberry, a native of the Arkansas Delta, is a Catholic priest for the Diocese of Little Rock, ordained in 2016.

There is a great controversy raging within Christianity in our day. The question is: what relationship does faith have with righteousness? Of course, our concern is not with the technicalities of the debate. Our concern is whether people are being deceived into thinking that saving faith has nothing to do with the way they live their life. This is Ep. 06 of our series, "Resisting the Rise of Lawlessness."   Resources we mentioned: At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry (Book) By Steve Gallagher The Walk of Repentance (Bible Study) By Steve Gallagher

Psalm 50 begins with the LORD summoning His people before Him for a trial. He does not keep silence, but calls out so that His people will listen to Him. He acknowledges that they have made sacrifices continually, but they have done so without faith, as if God needed something from them. Instead, God calls His people to offer their sacrifices with thanksgiving, to keep their vows to Him with faith, and to pray to Him in their time of need. To those who ignore His Word entirely, God speaks with rebuke for their repentance before the day of judgment comes. To the one who hears His call in faith, the LORD promises to show His salvation.  Rev. Luke Zimmerman, pastor at Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, PA, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 50.  To learn more about Calvary Lutheran, visit calvarymechanicsburg.org. Join Sharper Iron this summer to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
