Tips for Living Part 2 - Episode 2369
We must make sure we test and try the spirits to be sure they are of God. This means the music we sing, the podcasts we listen to, the preachers who teach us the Bible. We must make sure to test all things, then hold on to the things which are good and just. Don’t fall victim to false teachings. Not everything that has a Christian label on it is good for us.

Being a Doer of the Word Living What you Hear - Episode 2367
In James 1:22-25, we’re reminded that faith is not just about hearing God’s Word—it’s about living it. Too often, we can nod along in agreement during a sermon or Bible reading, yet walk away unchanged. In this episode, we explore how to bridge the gap between knowing and doing, so that we become people whose lives reflect the truth we believe. God’s Word is a mirror showing us who we are and who we can be through Christ—let’s not walk away and forget the reflection.

The Truth about the truth - Episode 2366
Songs can powerfully remind us of who we are in Jesus, but they can also mix truth with phrases that need biblical clarity. In this episode, we’ll explore how Scripture confirms our identity as God’s children, loved beyond measure, made in His image, and freed from the lies of the enemy. We’ll also address common misunderstandings—like thinking we earn God’s pride through performance or that He accepts us without desiring to transform us. The goal is to embrace the beauty of God’s truth while keeping our theology anchored in His Word.

Draw Near to God Winning the Battle Within - Episode 2365
James reminds us that many of life’s struggles and conflicts begin in our own hearts. We chase what we want, we quarrel, and we often seek fulfillment apart from God. But the answer isn’t found in striving—it’s in surrender. In this episode, we’ll look at how humility, repentance, and submission to God lead to true peace. When we resist the devil and turn our hearts toward the Lord, He promises to draw near to us and lift us up in His grace.

Wisdom from Above Living with Purity and Peace - Episode 2364

This wisdom is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy, producing good fruit in our lives. In this episode, we’ll explore how God calls us to reject the envy and selfish ambition that lead to disorder, and instead walk in the humility and peace that reflect His character. When we seek His wisdom, we not only make better choices—we become living testimonies of His grace.

No Favoritism in the Kingdom - Episode 2361
In this episode, we dive into James 2:1–13 and confront a hard truth: partiality has no place in the life of a believer. Why do we tend to favor the rich or powerful? How does this contradict the gospel of grace? James calls us to live out our faith with integrity, showing mercy over judgment and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Join us as we explore what it means to live under the “law of liberty” and reflect the heart of God in how we treat others — whether rich or poor, seen or unseen. 🧠 Plus, we’ll walk through key reflection questions and close with a short prayer to help you apply this passage in your everyday life.

Choose Now What Will YOU do With Jesus - Episode 2358
From the crowd shouting “Crucify Him!” in Mark 15, to Joshua’s bold call, “Choose this day whom you will serve,” to King Agrippa’s near-conversion in Acts 26—Scripture reminds us that every heart stands at a crossroads. In this episode, we reflect on the urgency of choosing Jesus—not someday, but today. Indecision is still a decision. Delayed obedience is still disobedience. The question isn’t just historical—it’s personal: Will you follow Him, or walk away? Don’t wait. The choice is yours… and it matters for eternity.

Real World Examples - Episode 2356
Jesus said in John 3:19-20 that men loved their sin more than God. That people stayed away from God because they didn’t want their evil deeds exposed. These warnings are still present today. In todays episode, I look at two recent events that happened in the world, and show how they relate to the words of Jesus. Keep praying and sharing Jesus with those around you.

Broken Cisterns: Trading Living Water for Empty Wells - Episode 2353
In this episode, we dive deep into Jeremiah 2:13 (KJV) — “For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.” What does it mean to forsake the fountain of living waters? How do we, even today, create “broken cisterns” in our lives? Join us as we unpack this powerful verse, exploring its historical context, spiritual implications, and practical relevance. It’s a call to return to the source — to God Himself — and to stop seeking satisfaction in things that ultimately leave us dry and empty.

Will Jesus Find Faith - Episode 2352
Drawing from Luke 18, we explore the pressing question Jesus asks: “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Join us as we unpack the essence of faith through persistence in prayer, the revealing nature of our heart's desires, and the necessity of recognizing our need for a Savior. We will reflect on the importance of approaching God with child-like trust and the radical call to let go of everything to gain a relationship with Him. This episode challenges you to examine your own faith: Are you persistent in your prayer life? Do you trust God fully? Will He find faith in your life today?

Have You Turned Your Back on God - Episode 2350
In Jeremiah 2, God is talking about the faithlessness of Israel. He is asking Israel why they have turned their back on God, and chased after things that are worthless. Here we are, thousands of years later, and people are still turning their back on God. Have you?

be careful not to be a Pharisee - Episode 2349
The religious leaders failed to recognize Jesus as the Messiah for a variety of reasons. One of which is because they focused on their man made laws and traditions instead of seeing the miracles that Jesus did. Don’t become a Pharisee.

We got to take time and pray - Episode 2345
One thing we see throughout the Gospels is that Jesus took time to be alone with the Father in prayer. Jesus spent countless hours ministering to the people in Israel, but He also always took time for prayer. By spending time in prayer, we not only draw close to God, but we have an understanding of our calling. When was the last time you prayed?

And They Were Astonished - Episode 2343
We reflect on Jesus' powerful teaching in Mark chapter one, where His authority astonished the people in Capernaum. What does it mean to be amazed by His doctrine and power? We challenge ourselves to consider how we can bring that same sense of wonder into our church experiences today. What if we allowed God to disrupt our routines and expectations? As we ponder these questions, let’s commit to being the hands and feet of Jesus in our communities. Tune in and be inspired to share your faith in fresh and transformative ways!

Follow the Leading of God - Episode 2341
Jesus entered the synagogue and taught as one who had authority is what we read in Mark 1:21-22 and the people were astonished because He taught better than the scribes the people were used to. Why is that? Because Jesus knew the Scriptures and knew the message God had given Him. We need to follow the leading of God when we tell others about Jesus. If God calls you to share your faith with someone, then God will give you the words to say. Your part is to be obedient

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.

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

Are YOU a Spiritual Dam
God pours out His Spirit into those who put their faith in Him. The question is, does the Spirit flow through you as you use your spiritual gifts? Or are you like. Spiritual dam where the Spirit goes no where.

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.
