Doubts about Christianity are not always an intellectual issue but often a deeper heart problem driven by sin and rebellion. Andrew Heard speaks on the doubts of John the Baptist and Jesus' response to him and to us today.

Have you ever felt like God was taking too long? In John 2, at a week-long wedding in Cana, the wine runs out—a disaster in that culture. Mary, knowing the weight of shame, turns to Jesus. But He responds, “My hour has not yet come.” In the end, Jesus performs His first miracle, turning water into wine—better than what came before. Trusting Jesus always leads to action. It may feel risky, but it always leads to more than we could imagine. Are you rushing Jesus?

The feeding of the four thousand, this time in Gentile territory, is a testament to Jesus' boundless compassion and provision. While there are distinct differences, the similarity between this miracle and the feeding of the five thousand a chapter earlier serves both as a needed reminder and as a gentle rebuke of our forgetfulness. Listen, not just with the present story in mind, but with a renewed trust in the One who meets our greatest and deepest needs.

We were honored to have Kate Newton join us in the studio to share her powerful journey to Christ. Hailing from Grants Pass, OR much of Kate's story unfolds in her hometown. Growing up, her parents managed a trailer park that also welcomed RVs, creating an environment where she encountered people from all walks of life. While this upbringing brought a variety of experiences, it also exposed Kate to the harsh realities of crime, including instances of violence and even murder. Tragically, the concept of death became all too familiar. When Kate was just 11 years old, her world was shattered when her 16-year-old brother died in a devastating car accident involving a train. The heartbreak fractured her family, leaving Kate to navigate her teenage years largely on her own. She recalls feeling more like a roommate to her parents than a daughter, shouldering the weight of grief in isolation. Adopting a mindset of “if you're going to die, you might as well live,” she turned to partying in search of distraction and meaning. Though she occasionally attended church with a boyfriend in her early adulthood, faith didn't yet hold a significant place in her life. By the age of 25, Kate was facing financial struggles after college and found herself working at a health food store. Her coworkers formed an unusual trio — a prostitute, a self-proclaimed white witch, and an older Christian woman named Sandy. It was through these circumstances that God began to stir something within her. Sandy quickly became a guiding presence in Kate's life. Eventually, Kate moved into a room in Sandy's home, and their friendship deepened. It was there, with Sandy by her side, that Kate made the life-changing decision to give her heart to Christ. In an instant, God became undeniably real — present, active, and faithful. Kate shared remarkable stories of how God consistently showed up in her darkest moments, offering comfort and provision. Her testimony serves as a reminder that no matter the struggle — anxiety, fear, loss, or grief — we can trust in Jesus. Her encouragement to listeners is simple yet profound: place your trust fully in Him, because He is always faithful.Want to share your story on The Stories Collective podcast in 2025?

Welcome to today's message, where we dive deep into the teachings of Jesus in Luke 6:43-49. In this passage, Jesus uses two powerful illustrations—a tree and its fruit and a house with a foundation—to challenge us to examine our lives. Are we truly following Him, or just claiming to? Are we building our lives on the solid rock of Jesus, or are we trusting in things that will crumble when the storms of life hit? If you're new here, we're so glad you're joining us. Be sure to subscribe for more biblical teaching, and share this message with someone who needs encouragement today. What You'll Learn in This Message: 1️⃣ A Tree and Its Fruit – Our lives reflect the condition of our hearts. A good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit. What kind of fruit are you producing? 2️⃣ The Solid Foundation – Jesus teaches that a wise person builds their life on a strong foundation—obedience to His word. Are you building your life on Christ or on things that won't last? 3️⃣ Trusting Jesus, Not Just Acknowledging Him – True faith is demonstrated in action. We don't just listen to Jesus' words; we live them. Key Takeaways: Jesus invites us into a life of transformation, not just religious observance. Obedience to Christ is the difference between a life that stands strong and one that falls apart when challenges come. The fruit of our lives reveals whether we are truly rooted in Christ or just going through the motions. Application Questions: What kind of “fruit” is evident in your life? Are you growing in love, patience, kindness, and faithfulness? What is the foundation of your life? Are you trusting in temporary things, or are you rooted in Christ? Is there an area where God is calling you to obedience, but you've been resisting? Jesus calls us not just to hear His words but to act on them. If you're ready to take a step of faith, whether by surrendering your life to Jesus for the first time or by making a change in obedience, we encourage you to respond today.

Send me a text! I'd love to know what you're thinking!Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson explore how leadership often feels like moving through a dense fog where vision is limited. Tod shares his thoughts on the importance of valuing enduring principles over having a clear vision in times of rapid change. He emphasizes that being anchored in unchangeable values and the mission of our faith can guide us through uncertain landscapes. The conversation also unpacks the role of Jesus and the Spirit in adaptive leadership, highlighting the need to align our actions with what Jesus is doing in the world.Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from David Quel in Ep 242, Life and Leadership in the Fog:"That's what it means to belong to Jesus, that even in the fog, he can be trusted."THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Leaders face fog by walking in faith, not just relying on vision.Leadership requires clarity on unchanging values amidst a rapidly changing world.Clear, essential values guide leaders when vision is uncertain.Adaptive leadership involves aligning with Jesus' ongoing work in the world.Trusting Jesus in the fog fortifies leaders' commitment and direction.Click HERE to get my FREE online course, BECOMING LEADERS OF SHALOM.

Join Pastor Stuart as we wrap up our series, Someone Like You, where we seek to answer the question, "Who does Jesus care about?" In our last lesson, we turn to the Gospel According to Luke 14:12-24 to hear the Good News of . . . "Responding to God's Invitation". In this lesson, we learn: The invitation of God in Christ necessitates our response. We dare not take God's invitation for granted. Responding positively to God's invitation entails at least two things: Trusting Jesus. Compelling others to join the kingdom feast. So, let's joyfully accept God's invitation in Christ and urge others to do the same. You can learn more about Westminster Presbyterian Church at https://www.westminsterpca.net.

Praising God because he, alone, is trustworthy.

Are you going to believe the doctor's report? Is your "faith" in human reasoning or a supernatural God? In today's episode of The Vertical Relationship, Melia highlights the need for balance between acknowledging scientific evidence and embracing spiritual truths. She touches on how worldviews shape our culture and encourages listeners to seek Jesus for healing over other voices! Yes, even a professional or doctor.  Scientific materialism, which prioritizes empirical evidence and dismisses the supernatural, dominates many hearts in our society. Let us be reminded that science is not the only form of truth. Faith, as described in Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 4:18, and Hebrews 11:27, is the evidence of things unseen. There is a need for balance between ignoring or obsessing over the supernatural. One thing is for sure; don't put God in a box. His supernatural abilities over exceed your square minded thinking!  CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 - Welcome to the Vertical Relationship Show; Top 1% Global Ranked   00:02:15 - Meet Melia Diana: International & Best-Selling Author & Christian Counselor Prophetic Ministry Founder 00:05:30 - Personal Relationship with Jesus vs. Religion   00:08:45 - The Influence of Worldviews on Culture   00:12:10 - Science vs. Faith: Understanding Truth   00:15:20 - Finding Balance: Supernatural Awareness   00:18:00 - Healing Through Faith: A Woman's Story   00:21:30 - Trusting Jesus for Healing Over Earthly Solutions   00:25:00 - The Role of Doctors and Spiritual Healing   00:28:15 - Limited Time Bonuses for Melia's Audiobook "Fear Not"   00:30:45 - Understanding Spiritual Warfare as a Christian   00:34:00 - Trusting God's Word Over Scientific Evidence Blessings xo- Melia's Services -> https://meliadiana.com/our-services Melia's Books ->https://meliadiana.com/books Melia's Courses -> https://meliadiana.com/vertical-relationship-academy Melia's Prophetic Mentorship-> https://meliadiana.com/vertical-ambassador-mentorship  

When we look around, it seems like it's impossible to have peace. There's always something new that the news reports that's dividing people. In today's message, Pastor Ken says you have hope in Jesus because God reigns over all. If you trust in Jesus all that seems chaotic all of a sudden doesn't matter as much because your hope isn't found in man but in Him. Trusting Jesus doesn't mean you ignore the things around you, rather you point everything back to Jesus, in your day-to-day life and beyond.

Pastor Patrick Anthony Scripture: Luke 17:11-19

Bible Reading: Romans 14:1-13, 19-23The sound of the lawn mower next door cut through the quiet of a lazy Sunday afternoon as Daphne and her mother worked on a fresh flower arrangement. "I'm glad the Bakers moved in next door," said Mom. "It's nice having Christian neighbors, isn't it?" Daphne handed Mom two red roses, being careful not to prick herself on the thorns. "Yeah, but--" She hesitated. "I know they go to church, but they mow the lawn almost every Sunday. Dad always says we have to get it done on Saturday so we don't have to work on Sunday. He says we should keep the Lord's Day holy." She frowned. "Maybe the Bakers aren't really Christians at all."Mom added the roses to the bouquet. "Let's think about that. What makes someone a Christian?""Trusting Jesus as their Savior," said Daphne. "But--" She paused."When the Bakers came to church with us, they told us the story of how they each came to know Jesus as their Savior, remember?" said Mom.Daphne trimmed the stem of another flower. "Well, yeah…""Dad and I believe that the things we do on Sunday are what's right for our family, and there may be other things that we do but the Bakers wouldn't." Mom held up the bouquet. "Each flower is different. This yellow one is such a pretty color. This pink one next to it isn't quite as bright, but it makes the whole bouquet smell good." Mom took out a rose. "Then there's the rose. It has thorns, but that doesn't mean we throw it out. It's actually my favorite--it's so beautiful and fragrant!" She replaced the rose. "These flowers each bring something unique to the bouquet, and the same goes for believers who belong to Jesus. We may not agree on everything, but we still recognize that anyone who loves Jesus and trusts in Him is a Christian."Daphne nodded slowly. "I guess the Bible doesn't say exactly what we should or shouldn't do on Sunday, does it?""No," said Mom. "When it comes to topics that the Bible is unclear about, we need to trust that the Holy Spirit is working uniquely in everybody. But one thing the Bible is very clear about is not judging Christians who do things differently than we do. We need to love them and let God be the judge." –A.J. SchutHow About You?Do you know Christians who do things differently from how you do them? While the Bible says certain things are definitely right or wrong, there aren't clear guidelines on everything. The Holy Spirit gives wisdom in each situation, and your family and church community can help you make decisions in these areas too. Trust God to help you make wise decisions and show grace and love to all believers.Today's Key Verse:Why do you judge your brother or sister?...For we will all stand before God's judgment seat. (NIV) (Romans 14:10)Today's Key Thought:Don't judge other Christians

Sometimes don't see how God could solve our problems, so we say, “He can't do it.” That's what the people of Jesus' hometown did. They were actually offended by the Lord's homecoming because they doubted His ability and authority. But Jesus wants us to have faith like children. Let's believe that He can do what He says He will.

105// Trusting Jesus No Matter What: Mark 13:1-8 In today's episode, we're talking about how Jesus told His disciples to stay ready for anything! Life can be unpredictable, with challenges and surprises, just like the wars, disasters, and tricky people Jesus warned about. But no matter what happens, we can always trust God's promises and hold on to the truth in His Word. Find out how you can stay alert and keep your heart focused on Jesus, knowing that He'll always be with you. Key Points for Kids: • Jesus tells us to stay alert: Life can be hard, and not everything we hear is true. But Jesus is the real truth, and He helps us know what to believe. • Things may change, but God doesn't: Even when the world feels confusing or scary, God's promises never change. We can trust Him no matter what! • Stay ready by trusting Jesus: Staying “awake” spiritually means we pray, read God's Word, and keep loving others. Memory Verse: Mark 13:8 - “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.” Do you have a question for Rachael? Maybe you have questions about God, the Bible, or something you heard on the podcast. Go ahead and leave me a message!

October 9, 2024 Daily Devotion from Lutheran Hour Ministries

In this thought-provoking episode of Father and Joe, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explore how to live a life rooted in faith, even when it seems overwhelming or impossible. Can we truly live like Christ? What does it mean to be called to holiness in our everyday lives? Drawing from the lives of saints like Pope John Paul II and Blessed Karl of Austria, Father Boniface sheds light on how we can all respond to God's call to holiness.Joe begins the conversation by reflecting on the miracles attributed to saints like John Paul II, who lived in recent history. While the temptation is to think that holiness is reserved for people like popes and priests, Joe and Father Boniface delve into how everyday people can grow closer to Christ, even amidst the demands of family, work, and societal pressures. Father Boniface explains, “We can either draw principles about how to live from the gospel, see them applied in the lives of the saints, and then see how they apply in our own life, and then we're setting out on a process.”Through the lens of scripture and spiritual insight, Father Boniface encourages us to not just look to the saints as unreachable models, but to recognize that the same Holy Spirit working in their lives can work in ours. He beautifully says, "Maybe it's not for somebody else. Maybe it's for you. Maybe you can try this."This episode also tackles the subtle barriers we place between ourselves and holiness. With the rise of technology and social media, many feel consumed by messages that imply their situation is unique, often resulting in a detachment from the gospel. Joe poignantly reflects, “We know there are better options. We intellectually know it...but we don't do them.” The conversation challenges listeners to bridge the gap between knowing what is right and actually doing it.As Father Boniface emphasizes, one key step is prayer and scripture. He states, “Listening to Jesus in prayer and reading the scriptures...that's the two most common answers.” These are practices that keep us connected to the source of holiness and allow us to grow in trust.The episode concludes with an actionable challenge: "Try it." Father Boniface encourages all listeners to begin small and take concrete steps toward living the gospel in their lives. Whether it's giving your full attention to a loved one, changing your habits at work, or taking a moment of prayer, the message is simple yet powerful: “Try it.”Join us in this deeply spiritual conversation and find encouragement to take your own steps toward holiness.
