“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NLT) *Enjoying Pastor Greg's devotional podcast? Let us know what you think with this quick survey!* The Bible’s greatest example of communicating the gospel is none other than Jesus Christ. Not only is He God, not only is He our Savior, but He also offers the perfect example of communication. He modeled how to communicate. You can read story after story in the Gospels of how Jesus approached people and how He spoke with them. It’s worth noting that some of the most profound statements that Jesus ever made took place in one-on-one conversations. The words of John 3:16, which may be the most famous verse in the Bible, were spoken during Jesus’ one-on-one conversation with a religious man named Nicodemus. One thing you’ll notice about Jesus is that He adapted His message to the people He spoke to. He adjusted how He communicated depending on the person’s needs, background, and situation in life. He was equally comfortable with—and effective in—talking to everyone from Israel’s leading religious leaders to the outcasts of society. Often when believers share their faith, they behave as though they’re preprogrammed computers. They get a glazed-over look in their eyes and repeat the same words to every person. It’s no wonder that the people they speak to tend to dismiss them as religious nuts and keep their distance. This one-size-fits-all approach to sharing God’s truth is certainly not the example that Jesus gave us. He took time with people. He made an effort to understand them. Jesus also possessed something that is unknown to many Christians today. It’s called tact; it’s the intuitive knowledge of saying the right thing at the right time. Though it involves intuition, tact can be learned and sharpened with experience. Every time you interact with someone, you can come away with a better understanding of what you did right and what you could do better. All it takes is a little awareness. In order to follow Jesus’ example, we need to treat each faith-sharing interaction as a unique opportunity. Instead of falling back on the “same old same old,” we need to stay in the moment. We need to listen carefully and compassionately to the things people share. We need to ask thoughtful follow-up questions to draw them out more, without getting too personal or setting off red flags. We need to be vulnerable and open about our own struggles, questions, and doubts. We need to build a rapport. We need to look for natural openings to talk about our faith, rather than awkwardly trying to inject a gospel presentation in the middle of a conversation about something else. Most of all, however, we need to pray. We need to ask God to guide our words, to give us the wisdom to know what to say and when to say it. God’s desire is for us to be like His Son. If we pray for the ability to talk to others as Jesus did—to share God’s life-giving message as He did—God will answer our prayers in powerful and life-changing ways.

In this honest, tender, and raw episode, the prophets set aside their “thus says the Lord” for a vulnerable conversation about what they're personally learning in a season of deep change, spiritual warfare, and soul-testing leadership.Topics include:The gift of spiritual agreement and finding your tribeWhat Winnie the Pooh can teach us on togethernessNavigating betrayal, burnout, and growing ministries with Jesus as the centerWhy asking “Who do You say I am, Lord?” is essential for survivalHow doing the simple things—repentance, daily time with God, hearing His voice—anchors you in chaotic seasonsShedding unhelpful expectations and learning: you get to choose who you leadThis episode is an invitation to let go of what doesn't matter, return to the simplicity of Word and Spirit, and hear what heaven celebrates about you.

As we celebrate Independence Day, we give thanks for the blessings of liberty and for all those—past and present—who have courageously defended our freedoms at great personal cost. The Fourth of July is a joyful time to gather with loved ones, to reflect on our shared values, and to renew our commitment to what it means to be truly free. Authentic freedom is a gift from God. It allows us to choose what is good, just, and true. May we use our freedom to live with integrity, to serve others generously, and to uphold the values that strengthen our nation. May God bless you and your families—and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

If being blessed was just about having more stuff, then wealth would guarantee peace—but we know it doesn't. In this message, Dr. Tony Evans unpacks what true blessing really means and how delighting in God's Word leads to lasting joy.

When even the demons acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God, His authority over darkness becomes undeniable.In a display of divine authority, Jesus heals countless people gathered at Simon's house, casting out demons who recognize Him as the Son of God.

Cynthia Tobias was on my bucket list since before I started this podcast because of the work she's done teaching about the strong-willed child. Her book, You Can't Make Me: But I Can Be Persuaded, was a key influence in helping me raise my strong-willed daughter, Elise. Before I knew how to handle her stubborn temperament, I would frequently end up frustrated and in a puddle of tears. But once I learned some of the tools and tips Cynthia shares, it became easier for me to understand how to get Elise to cooperate more (hint: it doesn't involve getting angry or raising your voice). In this episode Cynthia shares, Three Quick Ways to Recognize and deal with Your Strong-Willed Child, Teen or Adult, as well as the magic word you can use that almost always works to get a strong-willed person to cooperate and where you can find immediate free resources like The Strong-Willed Child Emergency Kit. I know you'll be so encouraged with Cynthia's solid advice on helping guide your strong-willed child. As she states in this episode," It's a compliment that God gave us to have a strong-willed child... When they're born, they don't have any idea how to use it. It's up to us to help guide it, shape it, and form it and let God use it." You're going to want to thank Cynthia after hearing this episode. Go to CarolRoper.org/Podcast for show notes

Heard this great reminder from a manager of a Christian Retail company “The biggest challenges in my life and work have been when I have forgotten WHO God is, or WHO I AM in Christ.” So how about you? Are you in the midst of a challenge at work? If so, CLING to the words of God. Remind yourself right now who you are IN HIM, not the words of what the world tells you. Here are just a few: I am a child of God, I am Jesus' friend, I am a NEW creation, I am an heir with Christ, I am chosen, holy, and blameless before God and I have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

What does religious liberty mean to the next generation—and why should it matter to girls growing up in today's culture?  In this special Independence Day week's episode, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa explore the often-overlooked freedom that gives our daughters the courage to live out their faith boldly: religious liberty. As we celebrate our nation's founding this week, it's the perfect moment to pause and consider how this essential freedom empowers girls to stand strong in their beliefs, speak truth with grace, and be a light in a world filled with competing values.  You'll hear from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director Emeritus Patti Garibay, who reminds us that our daughters don't have to wait until they're grown to live out their faith in the public square. Whether it's reading Scripture at a city council meeting or praying over a crowd at a national conference, girls can—and should—use their voices to glorify God and lead with conviction. This episode challenges moms and mentors to create space for these moments and to model a faith that is lived out loud.  Rachael and Melissa also share practical strategies for helping your girl understand and appreciate this freedom. From discussing the global cost of discipleship to inviting your daughter to serve, speak, or pray in public settings, you'll walk away with tangible ways to encourage boldness rooted in love. The message is clear: freedoms we don't exercise can be lost. But when we equip our girls to understand their rights and use them for God's glory, we help shape a future generation of courageous Christ-followers.  Don't miss this timely, faith-filled conversation that inspires families to raise girls who are not only grateful for their freedom but also ready to use it for Kingdom impact.  Referenced Scriptures:  Psalm 57:9 – “I will praise you, Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.”  Matthew 5:14-16 – “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”  Galatians 5:13 – “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”  1 Peter 3:15 – “But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer… with gentleness and respect.”  Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.

Do you ever feel like life is closing in, like you're under attack or stuck in an endless loop of struggle? In this powerful solo episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, host Diana Romero shares a personal encounter with God during a simple walk with her dog—and how it revealed a profound truth every believer needs to hear: ➡️ You are not the prey of the enemy. You are the victor—because Jesus already won the battle. Diana unpacks the authority we have in Christ, the true meaning of spiritual power, and the importance of aligning our prayers, mindset, and daily choices with God's Word. Through scripture, reflection, and real-life insight, she reminds us that victory isn't just possible—it's already ours.

Have you ever prayed for God to open doors for you so it's clear which way you should go, which decision you should make?  But, my friend, take a minute and think about the sayings we Christians have: ·       If God shuts the door, He always opens the window. ·       God doesn't close one door without getting ready to open another with bigger and greater things. ·       He will open the doors of opportunity as He sees fit and close doors that He doesn't want us going through. Are these true? Are they the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Is there anything we're missing? I believe that circumstances, like what we call open doors and closed doors, can definitely be a way for God to lead us through major decisions.  But I think we need to be really, really discerning about how we go about this. Because the truth is, some open doors aren't from God, and some closed doors aren't from Him, either. So how should circumstances play a role in our decision-making process? Today, I want to explore what the Bible says about open and closed doors and how we can use them to discern which path to take.

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:10 NLT) Have you ever had one of those seemingly perfect moments in life when everything just came together? That stunning sunset. Or that beautiful star-filled night. That special moment with someone you love, when you thought to yourself, I always want it to be this way. Of course, it isn’t always that way. Those seemingly perfect moments pass just as quickly as they occur, leaving you wanting more. Along those same lines, maybe you believed that when you reached certain goals in your life, you’d be happy. Maybe when you were single you thought, If only I had a boyfriend or a girlfriend, I’d be happy. So you got yourself a boyfriend or a girlfriend. And then you thought, If only we were engaged, I’d be happy. So you got engaged. And then you thought, If only we were married, I’d be happy. So you got married. And then you thought, If only we had kids, I’d be happy. So you had kids. While there can be happiness in every phase of life, no matter what our circumstances are, fulfillment—genuine, lasting fulfillment—always seems to be a little beyond our reach. Why is that? Because from the day each of us was born, we’ve been on a quest. We were created in the image of God, so we’re aware that there’s more to life than mere existence. There’s purpose. There’s meaning. But they’re not always apparent, so we search for them in moments big and small. The apostle Paul gives us valuable insight into these ideas of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in Ephesians 2:10. “We are God’s masterpiece” (NLT). We have a very high ceiling—the potential to accomplish some amazing things and experience soul-deep fulfillment. Finding our meaning and purpose begins with the decision to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord. When we do that, God creates “us anew in Christ Jesus” (NLT). He unlocks our potential to “do the good things he planned for us long ago” (NLT). He unleashes us to be change agents in a world desperate for them. Some people try to find purpose in doing good deeds to earn God’s favor. But that’s a dead end. In the two verses that precede Ephesians 2:10, Paul says, “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it” (NLT). It’s only when we acknowledge that we can never do enough to earn God’s favor that we start to find purpose. The Holy Spirit is our guide. He opens our eyes to the opportunities we have to do good things in gratitude for the matchless gift of salvation that God has given us. The more closely we align our daily lives with what God created us to be, the more we’ll experience the sense of adventure, purpose, fulfillment, and joy that comes from our walk with Christ.

Welcome to Inside the Epicenter. In this episode, host Joel Rosenberg sits down with Dr. Hormoz Shariat, the founder of Iran Alive Ministries—a man often called the “Billy Graham of Iran.” Together, they unpack the aftermath of the “12 Day War” between Israel and Iran, examining the impact on the Iranian regime, the hopes and fears of the Iranian people, and how recent conflict fuels a spiritual awakening across the country. The conversation examines how Iranians perceive their leadership during a crisis, their unusual attitudes toward Israel and the United States, and the role of the church in a nation yearning for change. Joel and Hormoz also discuss what Bible prophecy—specifically Jeremiah 49 and Ezekiel 38—might reveal about Iran's future and what these tumultuous days mean for believers both inside and outside the country. 00:00 US-Iran Conflict and Church Dynamics03:13 Iran's Satellite Gospel Outreach08:21 Desperate Leadership Amid Collapse12:43 Iranian Uprising Hindered by Fear14:41 Fear Prevents Uprising in Iran18:16 Herzog and Netanyahu's Divergent Views23:33 Faith Flourishes Amid Iranian Struggles27:07 Iran's Role in End-Times Prophecy31:06 Journey from Israel Amidst War32:21 Surreal Gulf Journey and Appeal35:49 Democracy Challenges for Iranians41:11 "Israel Ascendant: Regional Superpower?"44:10 NATO Tensions and Middle East Conflict47:00 Iran's Spiritual Shift Amid Instability50:14 "Support and Pray for Iran" Bible Verse Jeremiah 49, focusing on verses 37–38:“So I will shatter Elam before their enemies and before those who seek their lives, and I will bring calamity upon them, even my fierce anger, declares the Lord, and I will send out the sword after them until I have consumed them.

Lance Alves, his wife, and their five kids are called to be missionary evangelists in Central Africa. God has given him the mechanical ability to turn a normal truck into a tool that can be used for evangelism. His trucks are transformers for Jesus. In less than five minutes, a normal truck can turn into a  platform with a sound system for preaching the Gospel in a marketplace or village. Today on the Evangelism Podcast he shares about his plans to reach Africa using Gospel Trucks.  

Fr. Anthony Amato is the Pastor of St. Peter's Parish in Clifton Springs, New York. He was ordained as a priest in June of 2017 by Bishop Salvatore Matano of the Diocese of Rochester, New York.   In Today's Show: I've heard Father Ripperger say that it is a sin to pray with Protestants. Is that true? I try to get all of our family's cooking salt blessed, but I realize that sometimes food that has blessed salt in it gets thrown away (or given to our pets as scraps). Is this sinful? Do you know or have you heard of anyone in the 7th mansion from St Teresa of Avila's writings where they have entered spiritual marriage with God? Why are so few seemingly able to reach such heights? Are we too attached to worldly things and lack trust in God? Where can I find the prayers that are said during Mass so I can follow along? I'm a new convert! Should I be concerned when my priest writes or professes overtly political messages? I was reflecting on my teenage years and how I often disobeyed my parents and caused them much worry. I have confessed those sins, but wonder about acts of reparation? My folks are deceased. Is the sin of curiosity a mortal sin if it involves impurity? Like if you went somewhere knowing you'd see someone wearing immodest clothing? I see a lot of different views on the end times and a lot of the Protestant views seem unbiblical. The Catechism's teaching is also somewhat unclear and leaves room for interpretation. What do you think? Even though I've been baptized, I'm concerned there may be spiritual consequences from my grandfather's Freemasonic oaths or affiliations that need to be addressed. Would you recommend that I speak with my parish priest or diocesan office about this? Is there any time that a Catholic would be allowed to attend a Protestant Church? For example, to attend a wedding or baptism of a friend who is not Catholic but has invited someone who is a practicing Catholic? My Protestant friend says that Jesus is the one “Mediator”, as He said that no one comes to the Father except through Me. My friend says that is why we Catholics should not pray to the saints. How should I respond to that argument? Recently we attended a mass in which the priest spent a lot of time outside the sanctuary, such as walking around to tell stories and jokes prior to the opening prayer, moving around the church while delivering the homily, coming down to the congregation to hold hands during the Our Father, and shaking hands with nearly every attendee during the sign of peace. If priests know that such practices are prohibited, why do they continue to do it?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!

If you go way back thousands of years, you can actually read a historical account of a guy named Bezalel. In this account, it says that God gave him a skill—the ability to build, to create craftsmanship in all sorts of crafts, and also to teach. At Business On Purpose, we are firmly convinced that God has given each of us a capability—or multiple capabilities—to do certain things. But within that, we also lack capabilities in other areas. Yet as business owners, we often spend a lot of time doing things that drain energy from our souls. What we want to do is help you focus on your narrow brilliance so you can be liberated from chaos and make time for what matters most. Hey, it's Scott PB with Business On Purpose. Be sure to check out the Dickie and Donnie Show on this Business On Purpose thread—it's a great podcast put together by two of our guys. Anyone will love it—business owners, key leaders, even your kids. Now, let's talk about how to build a chaos-free operating system so that we business owners and key leaders can focus on what gives us energy and is the highest and best use of our time. A lack of documented process can lead to chaos. When processes exist only in our heads, we create bottlenecks that limit our team's ability to function efficiently and independently. That leads to the common refrain: “Nobody does it like I do” or “It's just easier if I do it myself.” While that might feel true short-term, it's a recipe for long-term inefficiency and stunted growth. Clarity is what your team craves. I want to repeat that—clarity is what your team craves, regardless of generation: Gen Zers, Millennials, Xers, Boomers—it doesn't matter. Clarity combats chaos in your operations. When you document your processes—through video, audio, or written templates—you provide your team with tools to perform consistently and confidently. Clarity not only boosts efficiency but also improves job satisfaction and retention among the team members you actually want to keep. As a business owner, you must recognize the true value of your time. Grab a pen and paper—research shows the average business owner's time is worth at least $200/hour. That means when you handle tasks that could be delegated, you're costing your business money. For example, if you're going to the bank or processing payroll—jobs that someone earning $20–$30/hour can do—you're losing $170–$180 of value every hour. That's why well-documented processes are so important. When you share your methods, you create opportunities to delegate to more cost-effective labor. It saves money, lets others contribute, and frees your time for high-value activities. Just recently, I recorded five or six processes on video—hit record, explained what I was doing, stopped the recording, and uploaded it to a folder linked to a process doc. Now, our implementation assistant uses it over and over again. That's how we create scalable systems. As your business grows, you can onboard new team members thoughtfully and maintain consistency. Scalability is essential for sustainable growth and helps reduce the chaos that usually comes with expansion. The goal isn't to remove yourself completely from operations, but to strategically spend your time where it adds the most value. By documenting and training others in your processes—and consistently following up—you'll build a more efficient, profitable, and less chaotic business. You'll leverage your expertise and spend time in your narrow brilliance while empowering your team to handle the day-to-day tasks that energize them, even if they drain you. Do it all with confidence and competence. Got questions? Go to businessonpurpose.com/ask and schedule a 15- to 20-minute call with one of our coaches—no strings attached. If you want to be liberated from chaos and make time for what matters most, just ask. We'll help you get what's in your head out into a documented system.

Our attitude towards money says a lot about who we are and how we will be memorialized by God.  On one hand, the Bible is replete with references to greed and greedy people.  On the other hand, those who were generous, recognized that they were stewards, and managed the things that God gave them responsibly.  This message is a mirror from God's word to help us reflect on how we want to be remembered.  VF-2487 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

It's easy to pray for breakthrough while staying stuck in fear or inaction. In this episode, we look at the story of Jesus turning water into wine and reflect on what it means to “fill the jars” in our own lives. Are you partnering with God in faith, or just waiting on Him to move without stepping forward? Join me as we look at how God wants to partner with us in the miracle. You'll be challenged to examine what faith in action looks like for you. If you've been stuck in paralysis, wondering why your prayers seem unanswered, this one's for you.

Today's Promise: 1 Kings 8:56 The God you serve is a promise-keeping God. In this scripture, Solomon gives a blessing to the people of God. He reviews their history and reminds them that God's promises never fail. What God said He would do; He did. The God you serve is the God who makes good on His word. You and I can stand alongside King Solomon and agree that not one of God's promises has failed. Faith believes that what God has said, He will do.

Solomon, the wisest man to ever live, gave us treasured knowledge and proverbs to last a lifetime. But he didn't abide by any of them. Jesus, however, embodied all the wisdom of God and overcame what Solomon could not. Sign up for special devotionals at StoriesoftheMessiah.com.

In this deeply encouraging episode, I sit down with my dear friend Margaret Feinberg to discuss her powerful new book, "The God You Need To Know," which explores the Holy Spirit throughout the Old Testament—a perspective many of us have never considered.Margaret vulnerably shares about the grueling journey of writing this book, including mysterious physical symptoms that only appeared when she sat down to write, countless setbacks, and what she calls "spiritual static" that seemed to oppose this message at every turn. But the result is a revolutionary look at how the Holy Spirit has been actively working since Genesis 1:2, not just appearing for the first time at Pentecost.We dive into why so many believers feel disconnected from the Holy Spirit—often seeing Him as ethereal, less relatable than Jesus, or reserved for "special" Christians. Margaret unpacks beautiful imagery from scripture like the Spirit "hovering" over the deep, using the same Hebrew word that describes an eagle brooding over its young, providing warmth, protection, and provision in our uncertainty.This conversation is filled with practical wisdom for recognizing the Spirit's work in everyday moments—from simple breath prayers to keeping a daily journal with one question for Holy Spirit. Margaret shares incredible stories of God's surprise and delight in ordinary circumstances, like buying a purse that perfectly matched a grieving friend's Easter dress, reminding us that the Spirit-led life is accessible to all of us.Whether you've felt the Holy Spirit is silent in your life, wondered how to access the power that raised Christ from the dead, or simply want to live with more intentional awareness of God's presence, this episode offers hope and practical steps for experiencing the fullness of who God is—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.This isn't about becoming super-spiritual; it's about recognizing how the God who created you is already uniquely working in your life.Margaret's Website: https://margaretfeinberg.com/Margaret's Book: https://www.margaretfeinbergstore.com/collections/all/products/the-god-you-need-to-know-experience-the-holy-spirits-power-and-presence-today-bookMargaret's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mafeinberg/Margaret's Other Resources: https://www.margaretfeinbergstore.com/collections/all

Faith is the result of the energy of The Spirit within us.  We often try to move in the power of God or use our authority in Christ without resting in the energy of the Holy Spirit. Power and authority comes from this energy. To rest in the energy of The Spirit is to yield to The Spirit by embracing weakness and releasing control which then releases The energy of The Spirit in you in the form of assurance, peace, and joy. Which then motivates you to act in faith and use your authority, it's all about reliance on Him! A powerful message by Steve Fry.

You followed the plan. You showed up. You stayed committed. But the results? Not what you expected — maybe even the opposite. In this honest and hope-filled episode, I'm sharing my own story of working toward a 12-week body composition goal… and how I gained 3% body fat and lost 8 lbs of muscle instead.

The wonder-woman complex. It's an unrealistic belief that we as women need to be everything to everybody. Where did that come from? And what's it doing to us? What if instead of trying to BE wonder-woman, we commit to be who God created us to be. .... To get to know our spiritual gifts, talents, strengths, and then went in search of God's heart, to find our true calling? .... What if every woman of faith lived and worked their calling? How much different would our world, our nation, our state, our city, our community, our home, our workplace be?  So how about you? Are you tired of being something other than what God created you to be?  Visit us online to find resources to change your wonder-woman complex into your true calling. 

Our family just moved across the country. Nine of us packed into one vehicle for 3,000 miles over eight days. All to follow God's call to a brand-new place, without a job lined up, without local family, and without all the answers. It's still fresh, still unfolding, and honestly, still a little messy. But I'm brave and sharing my first reflections on our trip and the move with you now, in the thick of unpacking boxes and rebuilding routines, because God is already teaching me so much about what it really means to follow Him without peace being the first fruit. If you've ever felt unsure, resistant, or doubtful, especially after making a big decision you believed was led by the Holy Spirit, I hope this episode serves you. Today' we're going to talk about: What I've learned to do when you don't feel peace How to recognize resistance when it shows up in your life And how to anchor yourself in God's goodness when your emotions don't cooperate Listen, just because peace isn't present right away doesn't mean you've made a bad choice! It might just mean there's a deeper work God is doing in your heart. Grab your earbuds and join me: When Peace Doesn't Come Easily.
