This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. Edited by: Tim NicholsonJoin us for our new study on the Book of James, wait a minute, we have a theme going here, the brothers of Jesus. David kicks us off by taking us back to the beginning of James and shares what stood out to him about how to become a good follower of Jesus Christ? What questions come to mind? Am I doing the right thing? In Chapter 1, verse 2, "when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it all great joy". David reminds us that tests always serve great purpose, and reads, "when you faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow".Mike then shares how the above reminds him of the cycles in the Book of Judges and Mike calls them, "Faith Cycles".We then chat about the "World" telling us we need this or that and we will finally be happy. More, more, more...needing more.Yet, the Book of James tells us, "when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing."Lenny shares how Jesus stands beside us when we go through trials and tribulations and it isn't by our strength that we get through it, it is Jesus Christ!Mike shares some personal trials he had been through and how he now sees them as blessings.Judah jumps in and shares how we often grumble and complain, but James tells us to consider it all "great joy". Judah then explains the basics of what an actual test is, it is a reward for completing the test, right?!?! A test helps us make it to the next level. Testing = troubles of any kind.This is only scratching the surface, but the conversation evolves into the importance of asking God for wisdom no matter what the circumstance. However, to not forget to the read the next few verses which stress the importance of having unwavering faith...hence, where the title came from.Enjoy and we appreciate you listening.We encourage you to read James with us and comment on what has been sticking out to you?Have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

In our final chapel of the school year, Pastor Chris shares Paul's final statement to the Galatians (6:18).  "The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit brothers.  Amen."  We hope that you have been blessed by this year's chapel content and Christ-inspired grace.  

We explore the profound benefits of justification by faith through Christ as outlined in Romans 5:1-5. Pastor Taylor Guerin unpacks how our position in Christ provides us with peace, access, and hope that transform our daily lives.• For believers, justification is not a process but a point in time when we are counted righteous because of Christ's finished work• Before Christ, we were weak, sinners, enemies of God, and deserving of wrath – now we have peace with God• Through Christ, we've received unprecedented access to God's throne room – more valuable than any exclusive membership• The prayer room represents the true power center of the church, where believers exercise their access to approach God• Suffering produces endurance, which builds character, which creates a hope that never disappoints• The Holy Spirit within us serves as a guarantee that God will fulfill all His promises• Paul wrote about rejoicing in suffering from personal experience, having endured arrests, beatings, and persecution• Jesus himself demonstrated that suffering can lead to hope through His death and resurrectionHow will you respond to these gifts? Will you live differently because of your peace with God? Will you fully utilize your access to Him in prayer? Will you find purpose in your suffering?

Read OnlineStanding by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. John 19:25–27If you spent time this Lent pondering the beautiful image of Jesus' mother standing by the foot of the Cross, then you have some insight into her motherly love and experience on Good Friday. She was faithful to the end. She would have been no other place than at the foot of the Cross, gazing upon the sacrificial death of her own divine Son for the salvation of the world.From all the perspectives that we can use to gaze upon the Cross, the perspective of Jesus' own mother is the best. The soldiers stood there mocking our Lord, perhaps some confused and perhaps some even feeling pity for Jesus. The scribes and Pharisees looked on with contempt and self righteousness, doubling down on their hatred and jealousy. Most of the Apostles had fled, one of them betraying Jesus and another denying that he even knew our Lord. But Jesus' own mother, accompanied by some other holy women and the beloved disciple, John, stood there with love, offering consolation to the Heart of Jesus.The love shared between mother and Son at the foot of the Cross was twofold in the heart of Mary. Her love for her Son expressed her unwavering fidelity to Him. It dispelled all fear. It was singularly focused. It was all-consuming. As she shared this love for her Son, she truly consoled Him. This is a significant fact to ponder. Since Jesus was the Son of God, He didn't need the human consolation of His mother's love at that moment. But by becoming human, Jesus chose to accept her love. In that act of acceptance, He allowed her human love to console His human heart. This consoling and steadfast love expressed the perfection of human love.The second form of love shared between mother and Son at the foot of the Cross was the love given by Jesus to His mother. At its core, this love was the gift of salvation. For her, the grace of His Cross transcended time to the moment of her conception, freeing her from Original Sin. Jesus' love on the Cross transformed her, retroactively, into the Immaculate Conception and enabled her to know Jesus not only as her Son but also as her Savior. Jesus' love in that moment on the Cross is also expressed in His unwavering commitment to care for her in her human state. He gave her to John to care for her as his own mother and, in so doing, He gave her to all of us who stand at the foot of the Cross with her as our own spiritual mother.If you want to understand the love of God, look no further than this immaculate and perfect love shared between mother and Son at the foot of the Cross. Today, especially, you are invited to stand with the Apostle John and gaze upon this shared love of mother and Son. John is there as an invitation to you to stand with them and to share in this holy exchange of love.As you witness this love, think about your own life and what it would take for you to participate in such love. Consider the courage and strength you need. The ability to forgive all who harmed you. Freedom from all bitterness. Unwavering commitment. Perfect affection. These, and many other qualities that were present in the hearts of mother and Son at the Cross are all qualities that God wants to bestow upon you. He wants you to bring them into every relationship in your life. He wants the perfection of this love to come upon you and for you to  express this love always.Reflect, today, on this Good Friday, upon this most holy scene of the love of this mother and this Son. As you do, try to examine your own life. As you look at this mother and Son's many virtues, allow that gaze to reveal to you the ways you need to grow in virtue. The Mother of God is now your mother, and the Son of God is now your Savior. Speak to them, listen to them, love them and allow the love that flows from their hearts to penetrate your own so that you can receive their love and share it with others. My dying Lord, You freely embraced human death for the salvation of the World. It was the greatest act of love ever known. As You hung upon the Cross in agony, Your own dear mother, the Immaculate Conception, stood by You, receiving Your love in its fullness and offering her love to console Your suffering soul. Please draw me into that love and help me to not only receive it but also to offer it to all in need. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe StockSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved. Used with permission via RSS feed.

Everybody has a want. But why doesn't everybody achieve what they want? Having an unwavering commitment to your goal requires that you truly go all in on what you want. Going all in means there's no turning back, and it impacts everything from mindset to behavior and discipline.

After two failed rescue attempts, an aerial operation managed to successfully airlift all 70 people who were trapped on the rooftop of the small community hospital. In an era where extreme climate events are increasingly common, more healthcare leaders are being forced to reckon with the reality of leading through natural disasters. This week, Lisa Carter, President of Ballad Health's Southern Region, joins Radio Advisory to recount the events of that day, reflect on how they tested her leadership, and underscore why we can't rely on our “old normal” when it comes to disaster preparedness.

One of the highlights of this show was having the late famed poet Nikki Giovanni on as a guest. It felt like we were all sitting at the dining room table, soaking up her wisdom.
