SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 343, “What Idols Do You Need to Completely Erase?” Kim discusses the dangers of partial obedience. King Uzziah, as well as a few of his ancestors, are described as doing what was pleasing in the Lord's sight, but they did not destroy the pagan shrines. First, this was in direct disobedience to God's instructions to the Israelites when they came into the promised land. Additionally, even if these were not places of temptation for these kings, they were places of temptation for others and needed to be completely eradicated. Now, how can this be applied to our lives today?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 15:1-4, with 3-4 as the focal verse:   3 He did what was pleasing in the Lord's sight, just as his father, Amaziah, had done. 4 But he did not destroy the pagan shrines, and the people still offered sacrifices and burned incense there.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   What places of idolatry do you need to destroy in your own life?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   2 “When you drive out the nations that live there, you must destroy all the places where they worship their gods—high on the mountains, up on the hills, and under every green tree. 3 Break down their altars and smash their sacred pillars. Burn their Asherah poles and cut down their carved idols. Completely erase the names of their gods! 4 “Do not worship the Lord your God in the way these pagan peoples worship their gods. 5 Rather, you must seek the Lord your God at the place of worship he himself will choose from among all the tribes—the place where his name will be honored.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 342, “There Was No One to Save Them…But God,” Kim discusses the times in life where we believe there is no one to help us…no one on our side. Those are the times we need to be reminded that God is there for us even when no human being is. How many life moments have you had totally changed with the phrase, “but God”?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 14:23-29, with 26-27 as the focal verse:   26 For the Lord saw the bitter suffering of everyone in Israel, and that there was no one in Israel, slave or free, to help them. 27 And because the Lord had not said he would blot out the name of Israel completely, he used Jeroboam II, the son of Jehoash, to save them.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   When were you in a situation where there was no one but God to save you?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   “#butGod: The Power of Hope When Catastrophe Crashes In” by Jeremy Freeman EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 341, “If You Ever Think God Can't Work Without You....,” Kim discusses the dangers of believing God can't accomplish His purposes without you. How many people feel a ministry would not be successful if it weren't for his charisma, connections, vision, accomplishments, etc.? Instead, may we consider the privilege of being a part of the greatest mission on earth?   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 13:14-25, with 21 as the focal verse:   21 Once when some Israelites were burying a man, they spied a band of these raiders. So they hastily threw the corpse into the tomb of Elisha and fled. But as soon as the body touched Elisha's bones, the dead man revived and jumped to his feet!     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Meditate on the privilege of being used by God to accomplish purposes that will last eternally.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   Background: 2 Kings 13:1-13 EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 340, “Don't Just Nod at God,” Kim discusses the difference between a life in which one only nods in God's direction and one wholly committed to the Lord and His purposes. King Jehoahaz looked to God only because the conditions were beyond his control, and he sought God's help. Just imagine the kingdom impact he could have had if he had wholly surrendered to the Lord instead of just nodding in His direction.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Kings 13:1-9, with 4-6 as the focal verses:   4 Then Jehoahaz prayed for the Lord's help, and the Lord heard his prayer, for he could see how severely the king of Aram was oppressing Israel. 5 So the Lord provided someone to rescue the Israelites from the tyranny of the Arameans. Then Israel lived in safety again as they had in former days. 6 But they continued to sin, following the evil example of Jeroboam. They also allowed the Asherah pole in Samaria to remain standing.      WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Consider the impact of a life lived for God versus one who only nodded at God.   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   "Jesus defeated death so that you can live.” (Charlie Kirk) “Charlie Kirk answered 'How do you want to be remembered' less than 3 months before killing” by Bonny Chu on Fox News EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus   I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 339, “Like Father, Like Son-Not Always a Good Thing,” Kim discusses the positive and negative aspects of the concept - like father, like son. In today's podcast, we explore a sad tale of a like father, like son relationship with poor choices and violent ends. However, it doesn't have to be that way. If you have unhealthy patterns in your family, may today be your personal Independence Day.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 25:17-28, with 20 & 27 as the focal verses:   20 But Amaziah refused to listen, for God was determined to destroy him for turning to the gods of Edom.   27 After Amaziah turned away from the Lord, there was a conspiracy against his life in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But his enemies sent assassins after him, and they killed him there.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Are there any unhealthy family patterns you need to break?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   4 We use God's mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:4-5) 25 The Arameans withdrew, leaving Joash severely wounded. But his own officials plotted to kill him for murdering the son of Jehoiada the priest. They assassinated him as he lay in bed. Then he was buried in the City of David, but not in the royal cemetery. (2 Chronicles 24:25) EMAIL — encouragingothersinlovingjesus@gmail.com X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus       I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.   RESOURCES USED FOR BOOK OF 1 & 2 Kings PODCASTS: “The Wiersbe Bible Commentary: The Complete Old Testament OT in One Volume” “Christ-Centered Exposition: Exalting Jesus in 1 & 2 Kings” by Tony Merida “The Tony Evans Bible Commentary: Advancing God's Kingdom Agenda” “Life Application Study Bible” “The Swindoll Study Bible: NLT” by Charles R.

Ephesians 6:17 tells us to take the helmet of salvation, but how do we do that when fear, confusion, and discouragement attack our minds?In this week's episode, Angie and Susie unpack what it means to guard our thoughts with the truth of our salvation. They explore how salvation isn't just a one-time event or a future hope; it's a present-day reality that brings clarity, security, and peace when the spiritual battle rages.Through word studies, commentary insights, and personal stories, we dig into how remembering the victory we already have in Jesus keeps us steady, even when our thoughts feel chaotic. The helmet of salvation isn't just protection—it's a promise. And it reminds us: we're safe, we're known, and the outcome is already decided.Ephesians 6:17a (NIV)Take the helmet of salvation https://livesteadyon.com/https://susiecrosby.com/ Free Resource: Armor of God Quick Reference GuideWant a simple, powerful way to keep the truths of Ephesians 6 close at hand?

The Justice brothers are back from Labor Day and dive into one of the biggest catalysts of the year: the unemployment report. From “bad news is good news” to “good news is bad news,” they map out all four possible outcomes and how each could impact bonds, equities, and the dollar. They also review RSP, small-caps, and the Dow to see if breadth can keep strengthening the bull case. The discussion then shifts to China's AI surge—Alibaba's blowout growth, a domestic chip launch aimed at Nvidia, and DeepSeek's disruptive “Sputnik moment.” Add in September's seasonal headwinds, a packed “Stock It or Drop It” lineup (Ulta, Snowflake, CrowdStrike, Dick's, Wheaton, Delta, Citi), plus Coaches Corner on covered calls, tariffs, and trading setups—and you've got a can't-miss episode.

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 338, “Spotting a Toxic Leader,” Kim discusses one of the characteristics of toxic leaders—refusing to appropriately accept constructive criticism. In today's text, we see King Amaziah's prideful reaction to God's prophets calling out his sin. Take a few moments to listen and challenge yourself regarding toxic leadership.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 25:13-17, with 14 & 16 as the focal verses:   14 When King Amaziah returned from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought with him idols taken from the people of Seir. He set them up as his own gods, bowed down in front of them, and offered sacrifices to them!   16 But the king interrupted him and said, “Since when have I made you the king's counselor? Be quiet now before I have you killed!”     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   Take a prayerfully, honest look at yourself and ask the question: “How do I respond to appropriate criticism?”   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   31 If you listen to constructive criticism,     you will be at home among the wise. 32 If you reject discipline, you only harm yourself;     but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding.

Ephesians 6:16 urges us to take up the shield of faith to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. But what does it really mean to raise that shield in the heat of spiritual battle?In this week's episode, Angie and Susie dive deep into what faith looks like when fear, insecurity, and doubt come rushing in. They unpack how our trust in God becomes a powerful defense against the enemy's lies, and why even mustard-seed faith is more than enough to hold our ground.Through word studies, commentary insights, and honest conversation, we explore how faith isn't just belief, it's surrender. And when we choose to believe God is who He says He is, we don't just deflect the enemy's attacks… we extinguish them.Ephesians 6:16 (NIV)In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.https://livesteadyon.com/https://susiecrosby.com/Free Resource: Armor of God Quick Reference GuideWant a simple, powerful way to keep the truths of Ephesians 6 close at hand?

SHOW NOTES   In Podcast Episode 337, “Reject a ‘Hold Back Part of Me' Faith,” Kim discusses the dangers of attempting to live a less-than-wholehearted kind of faith. King Amaziah was not fully committed, and he eventually faced the consequences. Kim challenges the listeners to personalize Proverbs 3:5-6 and live a wholehearted life of devotion to Christ.   Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Chronicles 25:1-12, with 2 as the focal verse:   2 Amaziah did what was pleasing in the Lord's sight, but not wholeheartedly.     WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE:   What part(s) of your heart have you failed to surrender to the Lord?   Additional Resources and Scriptures:   5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
