They are warned not to show special treatment to the rich while ignoring the poor, because all people are equally valuable to God. Favoritism contradicts the command to love your neighbor as yourself. Breaking even one part of God's law is akin to breaking the entire law. Believers are called to live with mercy, knowing that God will show mercy to those who extend it. The second half of the chapter emphasizes the connection between faith and works. Faith that is not accompanied by action is dead and worthless. True faith transforms the way people live. It is demonstrated through obedience, compassion, and good deeds that reflect a living and active trust in God, in the likeness of Abraham. Our faith should be evident in how we live and treat others. When we show kindness, serve with humility, and care for those in need, we reflect the heart of God. We are called to love everyone, not just those who seem important or easy to love. Every person has value, and how we treat them reveals what is truly in our hearts. Faith that remains silent or still is not alive or complete. It grows and moves through action. Trust in God should lead us to act with mercy, justice, and compassion in obedience. We cannot separate our beliefs from our actions. Let our lives be full of grace, service, and a deep desire to prove what we believe. Heavenly Father, thank You for leading us to faith and showing us how to live with love and mercy. Help us see every person through Your eyes and treat them with kindness and respect. Teach us to put our faith into action, not just in words but with true compassion and care, serving others with diligence. Let our lives reflect the goodness You have shown us. Remove any pride or favoritism from our hearts and fill us with a desire to be active in obedience. Teach us to have the courage of Abraham and Rahab, trusting Your will in all circumstances. Thought Questions: Is favoritism still an issue among God's people today? What does it often look like, and how do you avoid this dangerous and destructive sin? If you keep the whole law except for being merciful to others, will that be alright? Why is mercy and service to others so significant to God? How do Abraham and Rahab teach you to live by faith? What did they believe and do that shows you the relationship between faith and works?

Episode Summary: In this episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, my co-host Rev. Jessica Van Roekel joins me to explore the heart issue behind grumbling and complaining and how it reflects a lack of trust in God’s provision and plan. Grumbling is self-focused and rooted in unmet expectations, comparison, stress, and a scarcity mindset, leading to drained joy, strained relationships, and a disconnection from God’s presence. In contrast, lament allows us to honestly share our pain with God while trusting His sovereignty. Together, we discuss practical ways to combat a grumbling spirit, such as focusing on blessings, practicing gratitude, and seeking accountability. By shifting our perspective from what we lack to what we have in Christ, we can experience renewed joy, peace, and a deeper dependence on God, even in life’s challenges. Join us for How God Views Grumbling and Complaining & How to Cultivate a Grateful Heart. Quotables from the episode: God has the standards but I sometimes like to superimpose my standards on it and so then I struggle with perfectionism which is really driven out of insecurity and fear of rejection and I find myself getting into this grumbling cycle. Sometimes when I'm in that cycle and then I choose gratitude, it feels a little fake. I don't know if I'm really truly genuine. And so I'm trying to understand that when God has called me to a new thing, it's going to feel a little not real at the moment or it's not going to feel as authentic because I'm starting a new habit. It's just like any time we try to establish a new habit. It takes time. It takes practice. It feels awkward at first and there are some personality types that lend themselves more quickly to grumbling and complaining and I think there are some personality types that lend themselves to always seeing the good in every situation and I want to be more like the latter than the former. God's heart for you is good he wants you to trust him he wants you to let the love for him flow from a heart of gratitude for what he's done. It is not just that grumbling reflects a lack of trust in God, but it really disdains him. And that's what really convicted me, is the fact that when I complain, I'm really disdaining God's work in my life because our circumstances flux from good to, they could be better, to I don't want to be here. Why am I here? And so when we then start complaining and grumbling against God, it really disdains the work that he's doing. There's a passage in Psalms that says that everything that touches our lives has to pass through his hands first. And when I, when I cut my hand, like a bowl like this, you know, there's, I think of God's hand being cupped. And I'm thinking, what is he actually also preventing from hitting my life? Because when we, when we cup our hands and water runs through them, there is a pool of water that stays in our hands. When we grumble and complain, it reminds me of when we give a gift to someone and they don't receive it with a heart of gratitude. How hurtful that can be when our heart is for them. Yet when we grumble and complain, it's like saying, "Yeah, that wasn't good enough, God. That's what I wanted." And who am I to tell God what to do? In fact, but we also have to give space for our heartaches too. Psalm 62:8 says to pour out your heart to God. To look at Lament at first glance, it could look like grumbling and complaining. It's a fine distinction. Grumbling and complaining come from a heart of, I deserve this. So, grumbling and complaining is very self -focused, but lament is approaching God honestly, sharing our pain but recognizing that he is sovereign and his will be done and it gives the essence of I don't like where I'm at but I trust that your way is best. Grumbling and complaining is self-driven with a heart that is not trusting God's sovereignty. Whereas lamenting is sharing our heartache. It's telling our heartache to God with a surrender to his sovereignty. It's almost as if grumbling and complaining is talking bad about God and lamenting is just talking to God, inviting him in to soothe our heart too. And then David has written so many wonderful songs where really it teaches us how to lament. He starts out with like, "Oh, my life is awful God. Why did you allow this to happen? You said you were faithful." And then in the next verse he's like, "But you are faithful God. I'm going to praise your name. I'm going to trust you. You're steadfast and merciful." God desires us to grow in trust and dependence on Him, even during challenging times. There are common reasons we fall into grumbling, like unmet expectations, comparison, stress, and focusing on what we lack rather than what we have. Grumbling and complaining is speaking against God and is forming idols out of what it is we want and/or think we deserve. A grumbling spirit can drain our joy, disconnect us from God’s presence, and even negatively impact our relationships with others. Focusing on blessings, even small ones, can reshape our perspective, making it easier to find peace and joy in God’s presence. Keep a journal or ask a friend to hold yourself accountable in a loving way. Maybe even wear a rubber band on your wrist and flick it every time you notice yourself complaining in order to increase our awareness of how habitual this really is. Practice replacing each complaint with something to be thankful for. This helps to shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance in God. Ask God for help in changing your hearts and to help you see His blessings more clearly each day.

From losing his father in a tragic accident to rebuilding life and purpose after Florida Georgia Line, Tyler opens up about the moments that tested his trust in God—and the peace that came when he finally surrendered control.

How Seeking, Obeying, and Trusting God Can Transform Your Health from the Inside Out Keywords: trusting God with your health, Christian wellness, faith-based healing, biblical health principles, Christian holistic health, how to heal naturally through faith ✨ Introduction: What If Healing Is Simpler Than We Think? Hey beauty — what if improving your health came down to just three things?

Presented by Julie Busteed I'm looking at some strategies to help grow and build relationships—principles that apply at work, home, church—with everyone. The first two strategies I looked at were loving others and communication skills. I think integrity is also an important component in healthy relationships. Integrity really covers several qualities. It's being honest, having strong moral principles, and being trustworthy and reliable. A great example of integrity in the Old Testament is Daniel. He was taken into captivity from Israel to Babylon, and he became an adviser to the Babylonian kings because of his integrity and trust in God. For many, it's a familiar story but to recap: Daniel refuses to bow down and worship a man-made idol. He worships and prays to God. As a result, he is thrown into a literal lion's den. The next morning, he testifies that my God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight (Daniel 6:22a). Not only did God protect and preserve Daniel, but King Darius also decrees everyone in his kingdom must fear and revere the God of Daniel. Daniel's integrity and courage not only effected his own life, but the entire kingdom was now to fear God. He trusted and honored God in his actions, and his integrity was evident to his employer, resulting in a testimony to the entire kingdom. Integrity can also be something significant done privately, not for public recognition. A friend of mine recently showed a great example of integrity. She just published a book through a traditional publisher. Normally, when you work with a publisher, you receive an advance against future royalties—meaning you don't earn additional royalties until the book's sales cover that advance. And if the book doesn't sell enough to cover it, the author doesn't have to pay it back. That's completely normal. But my friend told me she wants to make sure her book's sales do reach that advance amount. She's putting in extra effort to promote and market her book because she doesn't want to be a burden to the publisher. She isn't required to do this—it's not part of her contract—but she feels it's the right thing to do. Quiet integrity. In both of these examples, integrity was a vital characteristic in dealing with others. Integrity directed how they should act in certain situations—be it life or death—or something that's not really seen by others. With faith in God and belief he is faithful, they lived out their lives in honor to him. Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out (Proverbs 10:9). When we live our lives with integrity, we can walk securely—quietly resting upon God's favor and gracious providence.

The Bible Study centers on the prophet Habakkuk, a questioning voice in a time of moral decay and impending judgment, who confronts God with honest doubts about divine justice and silence in the face of widespread wickedness. Through a dialogue between human perplexity and divine sovereignty, Habakkuk's initial lament—why God permits injustice—is met with a startling revelation: God will use the ruthless Babylonians to judge Judah, a response that challenges human understanding but affirms God's ultimate control and purposes. The message underscores that God's ways are higher than human ways, His timing is perfect, and His promises—though delayed—will surely be fulfilled, as seen in the historical fulfillment of prophetic judgment. The Bibel Study emphasizes trust in God's wisdom and justice, even when circumstances defy comprehension, and points to the broader biblical truth that God remains sovereign over all nations and histories. Ultimately, the passage calls believers to persevere in faith, recognizing that God's judgment is both righteous and redemptive, and that His word will never return void.

In this episode of 'I am that woman', Felicia discusses the theme of worship as a form of warfare, drawing from the biblical story in Second Chronicles chapter 20. She emphasizes how worship can shift focus from fear to faith, invite God's presence into battles, and ultimately lead to victory without physical confrontation. Through personal testimony, she illustrates the transformative power of worship in her own life, encouraging listeners to turn their worries into worship and recognize the strength found in praise.TakeawaysWorship is a spiritual weapon that confuses the enemy.Choosing to worship in difficult times invites God's presence.Worship shifts our focus from fear to faith.Victory can come without physical fighting through worship.Personal testimony shows the power of worship in struggles.Worship is not just for Sundays; it's a daily practice.When we worship, we signal to heaven our trust in God.Worship can turn chaos into calm and defeat into deliverance.The act of worship can lead to unexpected opportunities.You are never alone in your battles; God fights for you.

Derek Walker delves into the profound topic of the beauty of holiness. The Beauty of the Lord is His Holiness - the sum and perfection of His moral attributes. When we trust in God and surrender to Him, He imparts His holiness to us through His Holy Spirit. Explore the connection between holiness and intimacy with God, and understand how true holiness is a divine transformation led by the Holy Spirit. Discover the significance of being set apart for God, the role of sanctification, and the spiritual journey towards righteousness. This message offers deep insights into the nature of God's holiness and the essence of a holy life.

In this episode, Dr. Yolanda Sherman explores the theme 'God Got My Back,' emphasizing the power of faith and divine support in overcoming life's challenges. Through personal stories and scriptural insights, she encourages listeners to trust in God's unwavering presence and guidance, no matter what they face.

Spiritual growth rarely happens overnight. It's often a slow and refining process that takes place in seasons of waiting. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler encourages believers to see the waiting not as wasted time, but as a vital part of God's refining work. Through patience, perspective, and trust in God's timing, we learn that what feels like delay is often divine preparation. Ultimately, God refines what He redeems, and His timing is always purposeful.

November 2nd, 2025 | Seek ONE | Matthew 6:19-24In this message from the Seek 1 series, Pastor Matt Darby reminds us that when it comes to the human heart, nothing competes for God's place quite like money. Jesus' words in Matthew 6:19–24 confront the idols that fight for our worship and call us to serve one Master—not money, not possessions, but Christ alone.Through this passage, Pastor Matt unpacks three powerful truths from Jesus' teaching: -Money is the greatest indicator of what has your heart. What you treasure most will always reveal where your heart truly is. -How you view money shapes how you view everything else. A kingdom perspective fills your life with light, but a worldly one brings darkness. -You will either serve money as your god or serve God with your money. Everyone will have one master—but no one can have two.Pastor Matt challenges us to see every resource we have as belonging to God and to live with open hands, not clenched fists. Through Malachi 3, we're reminded that the tithe—the first and best tenth—is how we declare that all we have belongs to Him. And through Colossians 1, we see that Jesus is preeminent—first in all things, including our finances.“Every act of generosity weakens the grip of greed and strengthens your trust in God.”This message is both practical and deeply spiritual—a call to dethrone idols, trust the Lord's provision, and live with a posture of radical generosity. Because life works best when Jesus is first, and everything else flows from there.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

Prayer. We are called to be consistently, and constantly, praying. The Most High God over all the universe desires to be in connection with us, and to hear from us. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY!!! I know how inconsistent I am, how full of complaint and selfish requests, and how unworthy I am to be in connection with Him. Why would He want to hear from me?! The simple answer: He loves us. God made us to be in relationship with Him, and gives us the opportunity to be brought into his family through faith in Jesus. He pursues as a father pursues his child, and invites us to enter His throne room with boldness. There are some great examples of people who consistently prayed in the Bible. One of them is Daniel, who fervently prayed throughout Israel’s exile in Babylon. Daniel prayed so consistently that his enemies were able to use it against him. They manipulated the law to their benefit and made it illegal for Daniel to continue with his regular pattern of prayer. When Daniel saw this he went up to his room and prayed, just like he always did. He knew the risks, but he also knew the one to whom he was praying. Daniel’s radical faith powerfully held him to trust in God even in the midst of dangerous times. Join us Sunday for our worship service where we will dive in to how we can be more radical in our prayer life. - Pastor Ben Key Verse: Daniel 6:10 (NIV) - "Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before." For this week's Scripture and notes: http://bible.com/events/49496620

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the focus is on Revelation chapter 11, where John is told to measure the temple, the altar, and the worshipers. Chris explains that this act of measuring represents both evaluation and the delineation of God's people. Drawing from Old Testament prophecies, he highlights the Jewish context in which these visions take place and traces the history of the temple in Jerusalem—from Solomon's and Zerubbabel's temples to Herod's expansion and their destruction. The central question addressed is what temple John is referring to, since no temple stood in Jerusalem at the time Revelation was written. Chris discusses prophetic passages that point to a future Third Temple, which he connects to events preceding Christ's return, including the rise of the Antichrist and the tribulation period. He closes by emphasizing God's enduring covenant with Israel, warning against antisemitism, and urging believers to remain biblically grounded and prayerful. Ultimately, the message is a call to trust in God's promises, to pray for peace, and to remain faithful as history unfolds in line with Scripture.

Pastor Dave Bondeson unpacks Genesis 3 in this message, "Known and Unashamed," revealing the forces that damage our relationships. He identifies two key enemies: our internal sin nature and the external influence of Satan. Using Genesis 3:1-13, Pastor Dave examines how Satan undermines our trust in God's goodness by twisting God's word and inflaming our desires, causing us to prioritize our wants over our relationships. He cautions against detachment and blame-shifting, urging listeners to draw a circle around themselves and work on what's within their control. Discover how surrendering to Jesus Christ is the only path to true restoration and authentic connection, empowering us to overcome sin and move towards others in love.

This sermon examines the tragic final act of King David's story in 2nd Samuel 24, where his pride leads him to command a military census against the counsel of his commander, Joab. David's decision to "know the number of the people" reflects a deep-seated spiritual failure—replacing trust in God's power with confidence in his own military and generational dominance. This desire for "more, more, more" is presented as a universal temptation, echoing the warnings God gave about kingship and C.S. Lewis's analysis of pride as the ultimate anti-God state of mind. The message contrasts David's eventual confession and repentance with the contentment taught by the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4, ultimately challenging listeners to identify and confess the pride, ego, and selfish ambition holding ground in their own lives, and to choose the path of humility and trust in God's will instead.    

Deacon Dave reflects on All Souls' Day as a time of hope and prayer for our loved ones who have gone before us. He reminds us that we are all called to become Saints now by living with love, faith, and trust in God's promise of eternal life.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Check out our mission to teach every verse of the Bible on video in what we call Project23. Our text today is Judges 10:17-18. Then the Ammonites were called to arms, and they encamped in Gilead. And the people of Israel came together, and they encamped at Mizpah. And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said one to another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the Ammonites? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead." — Judges 10:17-18 The Ammonites gathered in Gilead—a vulnerable region east of the Jordan, a natural invasion path into Israel. Israel responded by gathering at Mizpah, a high place often used for covenant renewal and prayer. Both locations carried significance: one was the physical threat, the other was the spiritual rally point. But the geography only highlights the spiritual moment. Israel had no clear leader, no battle plan. What they had was repentance. They finally put away idols and cried out to God. That was the right preparation. Before God raised up a deliverer, he reshaped their hearts. This is the order God still works in today. Repentance first, deliverance second. The people didn't repent because they already had a strategy—they repented because they had no strategy. Their idols were powerless, their enemies were pressing in, and they finally turned back to God. And God's compassion was stirred by the misery of his repentant people in this moment. His justice was engaged by the oppression, and now he was ready to move. Think about that for your life. We want God to fix our circumstances, but God starts by fixing our hearts. Repentance clears the ground for his deliverance. It tears down idols, humbles our pride, and puts us in a posture to receive what only he can provide. Maybe "Ammonites" are pressing in right now—anxiety, addiction, pressure, or relational conflict. You might even feel camped at "Mizpah:" gathered, waiting, desperate for God to act. Don't miss the lesson. Surrender at Mizpah. Repentance bridges the gap between misery and mercy, between oppression and deliverance. Trust in God. Repent and surrender. Find relief and salvation. ASK THIS: What "Ammonites" are pressing against my life right now? Am I focused more on strategy or surrender? Have I truly cleared away the idols so God can act? Do I trust that repentance is the preparation God honors before deliverance? DO THIS: Don't just analyze your battle plan today. Start with repentance. Name your idols, confess your misplaced trust, and surrender at your own "Mizpah"—a place of waiting where God's compassion and deliverance can meet you. PRAY THIS: Father, help me see that repentance is the first battle move. Align my heart with Your justice, stir Your compassion over my misery, and prepare me for the deliverance only You can bring. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Song of Repentance."

Send us a textA story that begins in heaven will change how you face pain on earth. We open Job 1:6–12 and step into the heavenly courtroom where the “sons of God” present themselves and Satan appears among them. Before Job loses anything, the scene establishes something shocking and steadying: trials are witnessed, permitted, and limited by a sovereign God who is never surprised.We read the passage and dig into the hedge of protection—why Satan knows it exists, how it proves divine preservation, and what it means for people who feel like targets. The accusation is clear: remove blessing and devotion will crumble. Yet the text counters with tighter logic. God commends Job's integrity, sets boundaries on what the adversary can touch, and shows that grace, not comfort, is what keeps a soul upright. Along the way we tackle common assumptions about sovereignty, including the modern habit of granting God “permission” to be Lord only when life is smooth. This conversation presses into the harder claim: God can ordain trials without abandoning His people, and limits around suffering are an act of governance, not neglect.We also explore what “binding Satan” looks like in Scripture—less iron chains, more defined borders—and why that matters for pastoral hope. If your world feels small and stormy, Job's opening shows you are still inside a hedge. The permission granted has edges. The pain has a purpose. And the God who sets the limits also preserves integrity within them.If this challenged your view of suffering or strengthened your trust in God's providence, share the episode with a friend, subscribe for more deep dives, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway. Your reflections help us keep hard questions on the table for honest, hope-filled conversations.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comHebrews 11Faith is confidence in what is hoped for and certainty in what is not seen. Through faith, God approved the lives of many who trusted Him without seeing the outcome. The world was created by the word of God and understood through faith. This chapter recounts people like Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Moses, and others who courageously followed God. They obeyed even when the path was unclear, knowing that God rewards those who seek Him and looking forward to promises that had not yet been fulfilled. Some conquered kingdoms, while others endured suffering and death; yet all were honored for their unwavering faith. They did not receive the final promise, for God planned something better. Together with believers in Jesus, they will be made complete in what God has prepared. We are called to live by faith, trusting in what we cannot yet see. Faith gives us confidence in God's promises and anchors our hope. Those who came before us lived this way. They obeyed God, even when the path was uncertain. We must follow the example of faithful men and women, walking courageously through trials with our sights set on heaven. We will not be perfect, but God will reward our consistent deference to His glory. Some of us will experience great victories, while others will endure tragic loss in this life. What unites us is a deep trust in God. He has reserved an eternal home for His people, where all will be made to live free from suffering.  Mighty God, we thank You for the men and women who lived by faith and trusted You completely. They followed Your will, believed Your promises, and endured many trials with unwavering courage. Help us develop hearts like theirs, ready to obey even when the outcome is unclear. Teach us to walk by faith, knowing You will reward those who seek You. We commit to standing strong in the face of trials, opposition, and all challenges accompanying this life. May our faith grow deeper, as we calibrate our lives to long for the great resurrection and eternity in heaven with You.   Thought Questions: How do you define the word “faith”? How is it different from works, and why is faith necessary for works of obedience to matter?  Which example of faith in this chapter stands out as the most inspirational for you? How can you emulate that person in your faith?  How can there be comfort and joy when Christians die unexpectedly, especially in great anguish as the result of religious persecution?

Infertility is more than a medical symptom; it affects every aspect of your life.

How to Release the Obstacles to Peace In this session at the Weekend Revivals, “The Way of the Mystic,” the movie The Adjustment Bureau was used with David's profound commentary, focusing on opening our hearts to God's Will. Even a small willingness to follow God can grow into a full surrender to His plan. Guilt only blocks us from experiencing our true innocence and God's love. The ego uses guilt and past experiences to keep us from opening our minds and hearts. David reminds us that we don't need to act from guilt—we only need to act from love. When we let go of the past and place our trust in God, every obstacle falls away, and we are free to cross each inner door and experience His presence fully. The Script is already written, God is our Destiny!

Please note that the 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 14:10  mark.Psalm 20:7 – David says, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” ചിലർ രഥങ്ങളിലും ചിലർ കുതിരകളിലും ആശ്രയിക്കുന്നു; ഞങ്ങളോ ഞങ്ങളുടെദൈവമായ യഹോവയുടെ നാമത്തെ കീർത്തിക്കും.God will help those who trust in him and live righteously.  No matter how hard the life will be, God will ultimately find a remedy for everything in God's style, not in our human way.  There are several instances in the Bible where God fights for His beloved and protects them from their enemies.  They just had to trust in God, pray and stay righteous.My name...

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I wrap up our Money Month series with a powerful discussion on the seven weapons against your wallet. As a coach for Christian entrepreneurs, I've seen firsthand how spiritual battles can impact our finances, and I believe it's crucial to address these issues head-on. We begin by exploring the idea that financial struggles may not just be about practical circumstances but can also be deeply spiritual. I reference my book, The Money Mandate, where I outline the seven spirits that wage war against our peace, provision, and purpose. These spirits not only affect our finances but also distort our mindsets, divide our relationships, and disconnect us from God's flow of abundance. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of discernment. You cannot win a war you don't realize you're in, and understanding these spiritual attacks is essential for claiming financial freedom. I encourage listeners to grab their Bibles and join me as we uncover these seven weapons, aiming to awaken discernment rather than instill fear.   Not ready to say goodbye?

What does it look like to raise children with faith, grace, and courage in a world full of fear and comparison?In this heartfelt conversation, Shelley Giglio sits down with DeAnza Duron—pastor, mother of seven, and grandmother to twenty-one—to talk about the power of grace in motherhood, the gift of trust in God's plan, and the daily choice to live in peace instead of fear. Together, they discuss the foundational truths of parenting—keeping a clean heart, anchoring your home in God's Word, and raising children to love and serve others. They also tackle fear, trust, and joy—reminding every woman listening that peace is possible, joy is worth fighting for, and choosing life in Jesus changes everything.With warmth, humor, and deep faith, DeAnza shares stories of raising her kids (including her daughter and fellow Grove girl, DawnCheré Wilkerson), practical wisdom for moms in every season, and the reminder that God fills in every gap we miss. DeAnza's stories will remind you that you don't have to get everything right—because God fills in the gaps. From French toast breakfasts and scripture at the table to singing “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” at bedtime, she shares how simple, faithful rhythms shape generations.Whether you're a mother or simply someone learning to trust God with what you can't control, this episode offers encouragement to fight for joy, walk in courage, and believe that grace is always enough. The Grove is an extension of all God is doing at Passion City Church in Atlanta, Georgia.

The middle songs of ascent (Psalms 125-129) form the climactic high point of these ancient worship songs, with Solomon's temple psalm at the very center. Seth and David explore how these psalms promise that those who trust in God are as immovable as Mount Zion itself, while wicked rulers will never permanently rest in God's land.
