Bankruptcy is not a fun place to be, but can offer protections for a new start. Jesus offers the spiritually bankrupt something even better: the Kingdom. The first Beatitude about the poor in spirit is the beginning to unlocking the resources of Heaven. From Matthew 5:3.

A lack of vision is debilitating. Clarity of vision is life-saving. Jesus says those who have a pure heart will see him clearly. Is there anything in your life that is hindering you from seeing him clearly? If so, Jesus offers us a way forward. From Matthew 5:8

We live in a world that is short on peace. Yet Jesus offers abundant peace. When we have it and live in it, there are many blessings to be had. From Matthew 5.

Jesus, even in his perfection and love for others, received harsh treatment. Although innocent, eventually his life would be taken. When we live for Jesus, we too should expect a certain level of opposition. How we respond to it is an important part of our witness. From Matthew 5:10-12.

Easter is a celebration that the resurrection of Jesus enables us to also be made alive. When we are in Christ, we are made new and the old is gone. When that transformation happens, we don’t want to look back. From Colossians 2-3.

We are a blessed people. Because I have been blessed, I can be a blessing to others. When we are generous with our blessings, we plant seeds for a future harvest. From 2 Corinthians 9.

Jesus spoke about generosity in a unique way. Rather than out of compulsion, Jesus framed it with a heart of joy and eagerness. But how does one develop that mentality? His answer: it comes by seeking a greater treasure. From Matthew 13.

Many people in the world today have never hear of the good news of Jesus. The task of reaching them will come with a cost. Our sacrificial and financial investment to reach others for Christ will only happen if we believe Jesus is worth it. That was true for the churches in Macedonia and it should also be true for those of us who’ve experienced salvation. From Romans 15.

We are honored to have Jeff Shortridge as our special guest speaker. Jeff will encourage us with a message on giving cheerfully and generously, as God blesses those who give from the heart.

On this episode we revisit the case of the State of Alabama v. Brittany Smith, a documentary we covered on episode #117 of this podcast. Our special guest today is Carolyn, who served time in the same prison as Brittany, at the same time as Brittany, at the Julia Tutwiler prison for women in Wetumpka, Alabama. Carolyn speaks very openly about her experience in the criminal justice system in Alabama and shares with us the harsh realities facing female inmates and the intersection between the prison system and the education system. You don't want to miss this enlightening episode.The State of Alabama v. Brittany Smith is a harrowing story about a woman trying to use Alabama's stand your ground law as a defense after killing a man who brutally attacked and raped her in her own home and held her hostage in her home for days. In over 30 US States, including Alabama, state law makes it legal to use lethal force to defend oneself against threats or even perceived threats. However, the defense seems only to apply to white men. When invoked by women or men of color it rarely, if ever, succeeds.We have a PATREON! click on link below to check out the extra content:PatreonPlease SUBSCRIBE to the podcast and give us a 5-star rating and review.We are on Instagram and TikTok @psychlegalpopEmail: psychlegalpoppodcast@gmail.com#stateofalabamavbrittanysmith #brittanysmith #standyourground #prison #prisonreform #womenandprison #womenandcrime #psychology #attorney #therapist #law #lawyer Hosted on Acast.

When the church is fulfilling its mission mandate to make disciples and baptize in the name of Jesus, growth occurs. Today we celebrate all that God has been doing among us. But we also have an eye to the future and are ready to make room for the next generation of people who will come to Christ.

Throughout scripture God often spoke through other people to communicate. Has it ever occurred to you that God could be speaking to you through the words of others? How do you know it is God and not just another person?

Humanity has always sought divine guidance. Christians believe we have a personal God who communicates with us. How can we discern his voice better? From John 10.

In an encounter with Jesus, a young man comes to Jesus thinking he has it all together, but when Jesus challenges his thinking, the man realizes he isn’t where he thought he was. Jesus’ words will also likely also challenge what you are trusting in. From Luke 18.

Just before the cross, Jesus gave his disciples a new command: “love one another as I have loved you.” Although hard, when we fulfill this, the world takes notice. From John 13.

Celebration can often be the last thing the world thinks about Christians. Yet Scripture if full of the expression of joy and stories of parties and banquets. When we celebrate we are witnesses to all that heaven will be. From Psalm 16.

Resentment, revenge, and bitterness are natural human instincts. But their destructive power can keep us from intimacy with God and healthy relationships. Fortunately Jesus models a better way. Because of what we have received we can be an extension of God’s forgiveness into the lives of others. From Matthew 6 & 18
