Change our Focus - Episode 2339
Could it be that we have our focus on the wrong thing? Jesus calls His first disciples and told them He’d make them fishers of men. Fishing they understood. Jesus didn’t use bait, He simply called people to repentance. Our focus must shift from using “bait” to call people to Christ, and use the Gospel to call people to repentance. When Peter and the disciples went fishing in John 21, they caught nothing. When they followed Jesus’ instructions, they caught so much that their nets began to break. Maybe we need to follow Jesus’ calling to repent and believe.

Things to ask for During a Trial
In this episode, we explore the deep wisdom of Psalm 141:3–5—a heartfelt prayer from David seeking God’s help to guard his mouth, resist wickedness, and remain open to correction from the righteous. Join us as we unpack the beauty and challenge of living with integrity in a world full of distractions and temptations. Whether you’re seeking spiritual encouragement or practical insight on walking faithfully, this meditation offers both a warning and a hope: that discipline, spoken in love, is a gift—and that true strength is found in surrendering our words and will to God.

Episode 2336 - Two Things We Need During Trials
In today’s episode, we pause with David in the quiet of Psalm 141:1–2, where he pleads, “O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me! Give ear to my voice when I call to You! Let my prayer be counted as incense before You, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” This is more than a cry for help—it’s a posture of surrender, reverence, and trust. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to let our prayers rise like incense, especially in the moments when words feel few and the heart feels heavy. You’re invited to slow down, breathe deep, and let this ancient song shape your evening offering to God

The Final Commission: Sent, Empowered and Called to Follow
In this episode, we explore Jesus’ final words before His ascension—words that still echo in the hearts of believers today. From the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20 to the empowering promise of the Holy Spirit in Acts 1:8, we unpack how Christ sends His followers into the world with purpose and power. We also reflect on the angelic reminder in Acts 1:11 that He will return just as He left, and the personal call in John 21:20–22 to follow Jesus faithfully, without distraction or comparison. Join us as we dive into these pivotal scriptures and consider what it means to be a faithful witness in our time.

Living For Christ in a World That Doesn’t part 2
Why is it that even after choosing to follow Jesus, we still struggle with sin? Why do we fall into the same patterns, even when our hearts long to live differently? In this episode, we talk about the inner battle every Christian faces — the tension between the flesh and the Spirit, guilt and grace, striving and surrender. We’ll explore what Scripture says about this fight, how to navigate it without giving in to shame, and why God’s love doesn’t depend on our perfection. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing God or wondered why holiness feels so hard, this conversation is for you.

Unbothered & Uncondemned: Jesus Said What He Said
Shame called. Guilt texted. Condemnation knocked. But guess what? You don’t live there anymore. In this episode, we unpack the freedom bomb dropped in Romans 8:1—“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That’s not a cute suggestion. It’s a kingdom fact. If you’ve been dragging around spiritual baggage Jesus already paid to check, it’s time to let it go. Walk in grace, drop the guilt trip, and stop giving the enemy a seat at a table he wasn’t invited to.

You Cannot Regift your Spiritual Gifts
You’ve got gifts—divinely wrapped and Spirit-delivered—and no, sitting on them isn’t an option. In this episode, we dive into 1 Corinthians 12:7-18 and call out the holy hesitation that keeps too many believers spiritually stagnant. From wisdom to healing to speaking in tongues (yes, we’re going there), it’s time to stop acting like you’re giftless. Every part of the body matters, and spoiler alert: that includes you. Tune in, get uncomfortable, and let’s stop ghosting the Holy Ghost.

When the Message is Rejected
In this episode, we explore two powerful moments of rejection in the New Testament: Jesus being turned away in His hometown of Nazareth and by the people of the Gadarenes. What do these rejections reveal about human nature, spiritual blindness, and the cost of truth? Then we shift to the Apostle Paul’s unexpected call to Macedonia—a reminder that divine redirection often follows human rejection. Join us as we reflect on how God’s purpose prevails, even when the world says “no.”

Learning to let go, how to embrace God’s peace
Many of us need to learn how to let go. Let go of the things that cause us to worry. Worry is not something God wants us to carry. Today, we will learn how to let go of our worries, and embrace the peace that only God can give.

Respond Like This
After the Holy Spirit was poured out on the disciples on the day of Pentecost, Peter preached a hard hitting sermon to those who were in Jerusalem. The people responded by asking “What shall we do.” We need to respond like this, but instead, we usually sit in church saying “Lord, Bless me if you can.” We got our priorities mixed up

Walk in Love
Jesus called us to walk in love. Unfortunately the world doesn’t have the proper biblical definition of love. Love involves doing things that many don’t associate with love. Things like judgement, like sharing Jesus.

God Gives us Power
God gives us power to do several things, including living for Him in this lost world. In fact, Jesus prayers that God will protect us from this evil world. We need to start using the power that God has given us to show Him to a lost and hurting world.

Awake from your sleep
There have been posts on social media lately that has caused me to scratch my head and say “huh?” One recently was someone posted that we need to read Ephesians 5:14, this verse proves that the Bible is “woke.” Friends, this kind of false teaching is all over our world today. We must make sure we walk right in this world, we need to awaken from our sleep and pull our heads out of the sand.

Trials
Today we are looking at trials. You know, those things of life that none of us wants. In James 1, we are told how we should respond to those times of trials. When your faith gets tested, how do you respond?
