Life brings spiritual highs and difficult valleys—but we weren't meant to live at either extreme. In this message from Psalm 23, we're reminded that the Lord is our Good Shepherd—our provider, protector, and guide. Instead of running ahead in pride or falling behind in discouragement, we're invited to stay close to Him and trust His faithful care.

n this message from II Corinthians 10:3–4, we're reminded that life is full of struggles, mountains, and battles—and whether we realize it or not, we're in the middle of a fight. But followers of Jesus face these realities differently. While the world fights with natural strength and visible solutions, Scripture teaches that our battles aren't ultimately physical or based on what we can see—they're spiritual. That truth can be easy to embrace in moments of prayer and worship, yet much harder to remember when real-life hits: a difficult diagnosis, unexpected conflict, or news that shakes us. This sermon challenges us to truly live with a spiritual perspective, refusing to run in fear and instead stepping forward in the confidence of whose we are and the power of the One who fights for us—because when you belong to Jesus, the fight is different.

Sr. Pastor A. A. Jackson shared this message live at RACC on 3/1/26, with some members tuned in virtually.  It is based mainly on Ephesians 6:10-18.  It is a continuation of our journey through the theme of Spiritual Valleys.  We will face opposition from forces that work against God's will, but His Word has a […] The post Chapter 2: Spiritual Valleys – Armor of God, Part 1 appeared first on Realm of Agape Christian Church.

(Feb 26, 2026) Nearly half a million New Yorkers will soon have to prove they're working or looking for work to stay on federal food assistance benefits; Champlain Area Trails, or CATS, recently acquired a 700-acre property in Essex County; and we have a conversation with a Black gospel scholar about how the genre has evolved ahead of his visit to St. Lawrence University tomorrow.

What do you do when life drops you into a valley—health challenges, career setbacks, betrayal, uncertainty—or sometimes all of it at once? Host Stacey Gualandi welcomes award-winning architect, entrepreneur, and author Beth Campbell (Campbell House) to talk about her book Lessons from the Valley: Personal Growth Through Life's Lessons and the mindset shifts that help us move from surviving to rebuilding—stronger. In this uplifting conversation, Beth shares: • What "valleys" really are (and why they're part of growth—not a life sentence) • How to pause before fight-or-flight and regain control of your thoughts • Why leaning into uncertainty can expand curiosity and create new solutions • The importance of values, priorities, and boundaries when everything feels heavy • A powerful reminder: People may attack your reputation, but they can't touch your character Beth also discusses her journey through serious health challenges, career pivots, and rebuilding with intention—while continuing her work on major hospitality and design projects. If you're navigating a hard season, this episode is your assist: you're not alone—and you can come out stronger on the other side.

I've been a guest on his podcast 4 times now, so I'm excited to welcome Jeff Zaugg of DadAwesome onto the podcast. He's got a book coming out in March, so make sure to check that out (link below!). I think you'll get a good sense of Jeff in this interview, particularly the way he brings so much positivity and joy and amazement to fatherhood. If you take one thing away from this (other than that you should go RVing!) it's that idea: amazement at fatherhood itself. Let that awe be fuel to you during the dips and valleys. On this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 1:02 The Journey to Intentional Fatherhood 2:32 How To Becoming More Intentional 5:14 Counterintuitive Wisdom 8:30 Dealing With Family Resistance 11:16 Stay Amazed 16:13 RVing as a Family?

David was anointed king in 1 Samuel 16, but his calling wasn't activated in a palace—it was released in a valley. In 1 Samuel 17, what began as an ordinary errand led David to the Valley of Elah, where facing Goliath became the defining moment that launched him into God's purpose for his life. So often, we try to avoid the valleys—the uncomfortable seasons, difficult obedience, and challenging moments—yet those very places may be where God intends to release what He has already placed inside us. In this message, we explore how avoiding the valley can delay our calling, and how stepping into it may be the key to walking fully in God's purpose today.

Sr. Pastor A. A. Jackson shared this message virtually on 2/22/26 in a Zoom Meeting environment to RACC. It is based on Psalm 23:4.  The seven messages of Chapter One helped us to plant the necessary seeds of Faith and Perseverance, but now we need to water them with truth, healing, and peace.

You may remember the TV show, “Hee Haw” and on one of the shows, Doc Campbell is confronted by a patient who says he broke his arm in two places. Doc replies, “Well then, stay out of them places!” Sometimes, that is precisely the right approach to overcoming temptation. Other times, however, temptation seems to come looking for you. Jesus, for example, was on a spiritual retreat! He had just been baptized by John in the Jordan River. The Holy Spirit then directed him into the wilderness where he would spend 40 days in prayer and fasting. You would think...Article Link

Vocational ministry is a calling, but it does not come without obstacles and attacks. Join us for a personal conversation with ACF Worship Leader Brian Marzolf about reentering ministry after a long, hard break.

Psalm 23:4  Family, everybody loves to talk about worship on the mountaintop. When the sun is shining, the bills are paid, the body feels strong, and the future looks bright — oh, we know how to worship then.   But the older I get, the more I realize: the deepest worship doesn't come from the mountain. It comes from the valley.

https://teachhoops.com/ Adversity is not an obstacle to your season; it is a required ingredient for building a championship culture. Whether it is a key injury, a heart-breaking loss on a buzzer-beater, or the "January Lull" where the grind starts to wear on your players, these moments are "Character Audits." As a coach, your reaction to adversity sets the ceiling for your team's resilience. If you remain poised and "solution-oriented," your players will mirror that stability. The goal is to shift the narrative from "Why is this happening to us?" to "What is this teaching us?" By reframing a mid-season slump as a necessary test, you prepare your team for the inevitable pressure of the postseason, where mental toughness is the ultimate tie-breaker. To navigate adversity effectively, you must lean into your "Core Values" and "Non-Negotiables." When things go wrong, the natural instinct of a team is to fragment and play "hero ball." This is when you must "double down" on your system. Use film sessions not to point fingers, but to show where the standards slipped. Remind your players that they are "Better Together" and that the "Power of the Unit" is what will carry them through the storm. In your mid-season mentoring calls, focus on "Emotional Consistency"—maintaining the same intensity and belief whether you are on a five-game winning streak or a three-game skid. This consistency builds "Trust Equity," ensuring that your athletes don't panic when they face a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter. Finally, remember that the most enduring legacies are built in the "Valleys," not just the "Peaks." A team that learns how to fight back from a deficit or handle a difficult coaching decision develops a "competitive scar tissue" that makes them nearly impossible to break. Celebrate the small wins during these tough stretches—a player's bench energy, a teammate's defensive rotation, or a successful execution of a sideline out-of-bounds play. By focusing on "The Process" rather than the "Result," you keep the team's eyes on the horizon. When you eventually emerge from the adversity, you won't just have a better basketball team; you'll have a group of resilient young leaders who understand that true success is found in the persistence of the climb.

This week, we dove back into the story of Hosea and Gomer. As a typology, their marriage serves as a living illustration: Gomer represents the wandering church, while Hosea represents a God whose love is relentless. The core message? Sometimes the "bad" things we experience are actually God's surgical mercy, designed to save us from the "good" things that have become idols.Main Scripture: Hosea 2:1–9, Luke 15, Matthew 25:14-30, John 1, Psalm 23 Topic: Bible Teaching, Bible Study, Christian Leadership, Kingdom Builders, Living on a Mission, Use Your Gifts, Serve God, Pray Give Serve, Faith ForwardSupport the show ------------------------------------------WANT MORE?Say You Love Me 1: Building Healthy RelationshipsToxic 1: What are Toxic Thoughts?

God instructed Elijah to leave where he was and go where He led, and Elijah obeyed. He stayed there for a season—until God spoke again and told him it was time to move on. This pattern reveals a powerful truth: God is always leading and directing. The challenge for many of us is that we're willing to listen and obey—once, maybe twice, or even a third time if we're really feeling spiritual. We follow an instruction, feel good about our obedience, get comfortable, and slowly stop listening for what God might say next. So when He gives another direction—often to a new place where He intends to provide—we miss it. Then we wonder why certain areas of our lives begin to dry up. God led Elijah to the Kerith Ravine, a valley, and provided for him there—but only for a season. When the brook dried up, God made it clear: Kerith had been good, but it was never the final destination. The message was simple and confronting—it's not here.

God's presence is presented as a decisive, militant reality rather than a distant consolation. Isaiah 41:10 anchors the teaching: “Fear not, for I am with you,” with the Hebrew emak explained as God being deployed alongside his people in battle formation. Presence is unpacked across three Hebrew verbs—amats (strengthen), azar (help/rescue), and tamaq (uphold)—showing that God's nearness supplies courage, protection, and a firm grasp that sustains under pressure. That grasp is not casual; it is described as the mighty right hand, the weapon-bearing hand that both shatters enemies and holds the believer fast. The theology moves from lexical analysis into pastoral application. The reality of God “with” his people reframes fear and anxiety: the presence of God diminishes the authority of fear because a faithful ally fights beside the one who is afraid. Valleys are treated honestly as inevitable stages in life—diagnoses, loss, spiritual warfare—but they are reframed as pathways rather than punishments. The shepherd leads through narrow, dark passes toward green pastures; suffering can have purpose because God walks within the hardship and is not surprised or absent. Practical reminders follow: do not pitch a tent in the valley, choose who will walk with you through hardship, and remember that God's presence does not depend on performance. The promise “I will never leave you nor forsake you” is reiterated as a covenantal guarantee for those who are in Christ, enabling endurance and faithfulness. The imagery of a prepared table in the presence of enemies and a cup that runs over portrays victory already provided amid conflict—not by escaping the fight, but by dining as a favored one at the King's table. The conclusion presses believers to live in the confidence of accompaniment. Whether in transitions, ministry risks, or ordinary days, the posture required is not passive resignation but steadfast courage anchored in the truth that God is with his people in battle formation—fortifying, aiding, and holding them until the appointed end.

Your chronic physical pain might be more than a medical diagnosis—it could be your body's only way of screaming for emotional rescue.Author and Shaman, Kerry Blaser Bouzaglo, joins Brigitte Cutshall to share her journey from a traumatic childhood and debilitating back pain to a life of "psychic gifts" and radical health, revealing how women can stop "popping pills" and start listening to the wisdom of their own biology.3 Key Takeaways:(1) The Body as a Mirror: Chronic physical ailments—specifically lower back and "womb" pain—often serve as physical manifestations of repressed emotional trauma, guilt, and shame.(2) The "Hills and Valleys" of Growth: Using a physics-based metaphor, Keri explains that the "valleys" of life provide the momentum and speed necessary to reach higher levels of wisdom; without the lows, we cannot reach the "Everest" of enlightenment.(3) Recalibrating the Nervous System: Healing is the process of shifting the body's resonance from fear-based frequencies to the frequencies of love and compassion (measured at $500text{ Hz}$ and above).Are you ready to stop ignoring what your body is trying to tell you?

The hymnal of the Old Testament, the Psalms, are all over the place! Exactly! Some are great to read when you are overjoyed. Some are great to read when you are heartbroken. Some are great to read when you feel rejected by God. Some are great to read when you are just fine. The book, Everlasting: Peaks, Valleys, and Grace in the Psalms, is a great jump into an often-forgotten book, the Psalms, with Christina Hergenrader. Listen (and share!) for yourself AND for the people depending on you.

Anthony's running journey began back in 2007 while he was working in IT. Unhappy with his weight, he laced up for a change, and just two months later he was on the start line of his first 10K. By 2009 he'd run his first marathon, and by 2011 he was fully immersed in the world of ultrarunning.Years of racing and experimenting with his own fuelling strategies sparked a deeper interest in sports nutrition. Anthony went on to earn an Advanced Diploma in Nutrition and Weight Management, followed by a Nutrition Specialist Diploma. Combining his personal transformation with his growing expertise, he founded XMiles, a brand dedicated to helping endurance athletes fuel smarter and perform at their best.Thanks Harrier Trail Running for sponsoring this weeks interview.Thanks to Fenix Light UK, Voom & Altra 13 Valleys for supporting our January competitions.

Back in December 2025, Libby Clark stepped up to the start line of the Centurion Winter Downs 200, a 200‑mile Ultra Marathon. Only nine women stood on that start line. Nine! And Libby wasn't just there to take part… she was there to race!Seventy‑five hours, sixteen minutes, and twenty‑seven seconds later, she crossed that finish line to claim a joint second place finish with Jemma Lyons. Today, we get to dive into that journey, the highs, the lows, the hallucinations, the juggle, and the glory.

Send us a textWhat if the most spiritual thing you do this week is build something that lasts? We dive straight into a gutsy thesis: God is glorified not only by private devotion but by public fruitfulness—by redeemed people building enduring work, institutions, and cultures under the lordship of Christ. Anchored in Luke 19's parable of the minas, we examine stewardship that multiplies, the danger of burying potential, and why faithful risk is a sign of faith in God's character.From there we get practical. We unpack calling through two levers—ownership and opportunity—and make the case that motion beats overthinking. We talk about the inner life that fuels outer fruit: prayer that asks bigger, self-talk that aligns with Scripture, and habits that carry us when feelings fade. Competence matters, and so does confidence, defined as keeping promises to yourself. We touch on structured discipline like 75 Hard, the value of paying to learn so you actually pay attention, and a simple ethic of excellence every day and every way.Then we widen the frame to scaling and legacy. You haven't truly built until the work can live without you. Teaching what you know creates capacity and multiplies impact. We explore money as a magnifier and reproducer, pushing past guilt toward generous stewardship that creates jobs, lifts communities, and funds mission. The heart check is plain: are people blessed because you are building?We close with continuity and courage. Valleys shape endurance; mountaintops clarify direction. Lone-wolf Christianity fails, so we lean into community to go far. Don't kill ambition—aim it. Trailblazers take arrows, but scars become currency in God's kingdom. If faithfulness turns to fruitfulness, and fruitfulness to expansion, the outcome is inheritance that outlives us.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's building, and leave a review with one bold, God-sized goal you're committing to this year. Let's shine where we work and give our Father glory.Support the show
