He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). — John 20:13-16

We are grateful that one day we will reign with You in heaven and live with You in eternity. Help us to understand Your message of salvation and to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Help us to be as bold as Paul and the apostles in sharing the Gospel to win souls for Your kingdom. Help us to remember the importance of the Easter story which guaranteed our salvation and redemption to God. Thank You for Your love and sacrifice for us on the Cross and help us to remember that the same power who raised you from the dead lives in us.

“Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road, and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread. And just as they were telling about it, Jesus himself was suddenly standing there among them. ‘Peace be with you,’ he said. But the whole group was startled and frightened, thinking they were seeing a ghost! ‘Why are you frightened?’ he asked. ‘Why are your hearts filled with doubt? Look at my hands. Look at my feet. You can see that it’s really me. Touch me and make sure that I am not a ghost, because ghosts don’t have bodies, as you see that I do.’ As he spoke, he showed them his hands and his feet.” – Luke 24:35-40

I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

Providence Revealed

By Keri Willis

To whom will you compare me?
Who is my equal?
Some people pour out their silver and gold
and hire a craftsman to make a god from it.
Then they bow down and worship it!
They carry it around on their shoulders,
and when they set it down, it stays there.
It can’t even move!
And when someone prays to it, there is no answer.
It can’t rescue anyone from trouble.

Remember the things I have done in the past.
For I alone am God!
I am God, and there is none like me.
Only I can tell you the future
before it even happens.
Everything I plan will come to pass,
for I do whatever I wish. -- Isaiah 46:6-10

A Plane Ride to Perseverance

By Carol McLeod

“For the word of the LORD is upright, And all His work is done in faithfulness.” – Psalm 33:4

Perseverance is a character trait that has become a lost virtue in our microwave culture. We want to do it now, have it now, buy it now. If something requires hard work, tenacity or endurance, we walk away from the challenge assuring ourselves that it probably wouldn’t be worth the work it required.

Perseverance is a character trait of God Himself. He is steadfast and a God of eternal faithfulness.

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." -- Hebrews 12:1-2

When I was a little girl, I remember watching my grandma’s finger trace over the worn page of a weathered hymnal. My eyes followed the lyrics as her tremulous voice sang out, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His marvelous face. And the things on Earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory and grace.”

Times change, but the song’s wisdom stands, echoing Hebrews 12: “Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor.” The only One worthy of worship and praise.

In a world full of brokenness and beauty, I pray my children and the people around me see me bowed in wonder and gratitude before One who holds all of it. Fixing our eyes upon Jesus, may we offer legacies of righteousness and peace that will last generations.

Today’s evening prayer comes from the cherished hymn, “How Great Thou Art”, originally penned by Carl Boberg. If you know the tune, sing it to yourself as you pray.

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!

“Your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern,what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.” -- 2 Corinthians 7:9-11 (NIV)

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith… – 1 Peter 5:8-9

Father, help me to prioritize your truth in my life so that I can walk in the power of your strength. I know that, as your word says, "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood." We have a genuine spiritual enemy that you have already beaten—give me your eyes to see that this is the truth when it doesn't feel true. Help me stand firm in my faith in you and your finished work as I live daily in this broken world.

By Laura Maser

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf shall not wither, and whatever he does shall prosper. -- Psalm 1:1-3

A Vital Freedom Not to Be Missed

Crossmap — Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 -0400

By Lori Altebaumer

"The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners." – Psalm 146:7

As Americans prepare to celebrate Independence Day with parades, concerts, cookouts, and fireworks, the podcast explores a deeper form of freedom: spiritual freedom from unforgiveness. The episode delves into how clinging to unforgiveness can feel justified and give a false sense of control, but ultimately, it only causes suffering to the person holding onto it.

Psalm 146:7 speaks of freedom as being unbound and set loose, yet unforgiveness binds us as prisoners of our own making. The podcast describes how bitterness grows in the fertile soil of unforgiveness, constricting our hearts and giving the enemy a foothold in our spiritual lives. By withholding forgiveness, we think we're punishing those who hurt us, but we're the ones imprisoned.

God offers the key to this self-imposed prison. In Christ, we are new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17) and can step into His promise of freedom at any time. Unlike nations that fight physical battles for freedom, our freedom is a gift from God when we surrender to Christ (Isaiah 61). Jesus Christ, who forgave His crucifiers, offers us the strength to let go of unforgiveness and receive the abundant life He promises (John 10:10).

The episode concludes by challenging listeners to accept God's offer of freedom by choosing to forgive, following Jesus' example (Luke 23:34).

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. -- Philippians 2:5-8

Crossmap — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 00:15:00 -0400

And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow. -- Luke 22:41-45

Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David. And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven,and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”” -- Luke 2: 8-14

“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” — John 4:24

I remember winking at God as a child and effortlessly chatting with Him as if He was my invisible friend. There was a picture of me when I turned six in a puffy purple jacket with socks on my hands. If you strain your eyes to examine the grainy print, you will see a broad smile and a snowball in one of those sock-covered hands. I had prayed for snow on my birthday, and God delivered a fresh dusting of white powder in the deep South, where snow is pretty much nonexistent. On that frigid day, I clearly recall thanking God for the perfect gift, followed by a right-eyed wink.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. -- Hebrews 12:11

A great compliment to anyone is they were disciplined in their craft. To have discipline means to consistently do the hard things well when there are easier options. Anyone can spend hours and hours doing mindless activities like watching TV or scrolling through social media. Like the saying, “If it was easy, everyone would do it.” Discipline means you opt out of doing certain activities to practice a skill repeatedly to become the best version of yourself.

“You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘Lord’, and you are right because that’s what I am. Since I, your Lord washed your feet you ought to wash each other’s feet.” -- John 13:13 (NLT)

Jesus washed the calloused, dirty feet of the disciples. This intimate gesture is extremely touching.

By doing something uncomfortable to express love, He demonstrated that a relationship with God is important, desired, and requires action.

That is exciting news…the creator of the world died so that we can live and He wants to know us.

We trust Google maps will guide us to our destination. Of all the people and institutions in which we place our trust, none of them are infallible. Regrettably, we do not always place our confidence in God as quickly as we do strangers.

Who's in Charge? The Power of God

Crossmap — Sat, 31 Aug 2024 06:31:44 -0400

By Amber Ginter

In this episode, I reflect on my journey from a person who thrived on control and leadership to one who had to learn the art of surrender. My early years were marked by a desire to lead and take charge, from school projects to forming college organizations. However, after college, my perceived control began to falter as I faced numerous mental and physical health challenges, highlighting my limited power.

The concept of control can be daunting, especially when life feels chaotic. Yet, one of the greatest aspects of serving Jesus is that nothing under His sovereignty is ever truly out of control. Learning to surrender our need for control to Jesus can bring peace, much like learning to float in water. The more we struggle, the less we rest, but when we lean back and trust, we find true rest and direction.

Jesus understands our human nature and our struggles with control. He invites us to release our tight grip and trust in His strength, power, and stability. By surrendering our burdens and weaknesses to Him daily, we can experience His power at work within us, bringing peace and reassurance that He is in control.

I am surprised at the James passage. I didn't expect that the root of a lack of wisdom is bitter jealousy and selfish ambition. The James passage goes on to say, "But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere (vs. 17).

Wisdom isn't applying "smarts." Instead, it is the result of applying the fruits of the spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…against such things there is no law" Galatians 5:22-23

Finding Freedom in Knowing Jesus

Crossmap — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 13:07:44 -0400

by Keri Willis

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:6

In this episode, we delve into the powerful concept of freedom through the lens of American history and Christian faith. Our journey begins with a poignant memory from an "American Heritage Day" event at school, where a stirring speech by a sixth grader on Patrick Henry’s famous declaration, “Give me liberty or give me death,” left an indelible mark.

We explore Patrick Henry's profound words and their historical context, highlighting how his call to action ignited the flames of the Revolutionary War. But we don't stop there. We draw a parallel to another, even more crucial battle: the spiritual war for our hearts and minds.

As we navigate this episode, we confront the chains of sin, guilt, and discouragement that the enemy uses to enslave us. We then turn to the ultimate liberator, Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross and victory over death offers us eternal freedom. Through the truth of His word and the power of His resurrection, we discover the path to true liberation from the power of sin.

Join us as we reflect on the profound truths found in John 14 and John 8, and celebrate the incredible kindness and grace described in Ephesians 1:7-8. This episode is a call to embrace the freedom Christ offers and to live a life transformed by His truth.

Freedom in Christ - A Nighttime Prayer

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom].” -- 2 Corinthians 2:17 AMP

Dear Lord, I am grateful for Your love and trust You completely. Help me identify areas of brokenness so I can experience unquestionable freedom. Intercept unhealthy thoughts and actions so my relationship with You is strengthened and grows. I want to walk freely in Your Spirit freely loving You, myself, and others. May my life be an offering to You, so I can joyfully and passionately fulfill my purpose. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Freedom in Christ: Untie Negative Cords and Break Free

Crossmap — Mon, 26 Aug 2024 05:14:19 -0400

In this episode, we explore the powerful concept of true freedom in Christ as shared by Mary Armand. Reflecting on her high school experiences, Mary recalls the frustration of the three-legged race, where partners are tied together and must run towards the finish line. This race serves as a metaphor for how our natural abilities can be restrained by negative bonds and patterns in our lives. However, the highlight of the race was always the moment of untying the cord and breaking free, a sensation Mary likens to the spiritual freedom found in Christ.

Mary delves into the transformative power of accepting Christ’s forgiveness, which brings a new identity and introduces true freedom, as stated in John 8:36, "So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free." Despite the challenges and trials that often cause negative thoughts and patterns to resurface, Mary emphasizes that in Christ, there is an alternative for reclaiming freedom. By drawing close to God and regularly connecting with Him, we are empowered to cut off the things that suffocate our spirit and hinder our potential.

Listeners are encouraged to identify and untie unhealthy bonds, asking God to reveal what is troubling their spirit and stealing their freedom. With references to 2 Corinthians 3:17 and Galatians 5:13, Mary shares how an intimate relationship with God restores true freedom, enabling us to walk in His love and reach our full potential. Join us as we explore how to break free from spiritual weariness and embrace the peace and joy that come from living in Christ’s liberty.

Unfortunately, many of us merely do what we have always done regarding spiritual matters.

Almighty Father, I’m so grateful that Your word isn’t simply an ancient book filled with recorded history, letters, poems, and songs, but it lives and breathes through Your divinely inspired words, which are active and powerful (Heb. 4:12), providing a lamp to my feet and a light to my path (Psalm 119:105) and transforming me day by day (2 Cor. 4:16). I thank you that even on a sleepless night, I can meditate on Your word and be comforted by Your perfect peace, Your faithful presence, and Your transforming truth.

"Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you," -- Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)

When we look at the context of this Scripture, the Apostle Matthew referenced basically all our earthly needs, what you wear, what you will eat, what you drink, all you need for your life on earth. But what does that have to do with Spiritual Discipline?

Maybe you are new to the faith, and you did not grow up in a family of believers. Or maybe you have not enjoyed clear direction for your spiritual journey. Or maybe you are seeking the Lord in a new season, and you long to hear from Him in a new way. And it is possible that you have been on your faith journey for a long time, leading others, and you hit a dry spell. That's ok! In fact, our Lord, Abba Father, reminds us that He has created a desire in our hearts to know Him and grow in the knowledge of Him, to feel His presence, and to hear His voice.

Spiritual Discipline: Intentional Living

Crossmap — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 05:43:36 -0400

By Stacey Barkley

When my children were little, I was disciplined in keeping a tight schedule. If I didn’t, they’d become cranky. We ate at specific times and had an iron clad bedtime. Their schedule was important so they would grow strong and healthy. It was necessary for my well-being, as well. I needed to make sure I had downtime along with time for my husband and me to reconnect after a long day.

Don’t we all schedule what is important and beneficial to us? Even though my children are grown, I am still disciplined in keeping appointments and events scheduled. I also eat and go to bed around the same time each day. It would not go well if I continuously skipped a bedtime or multiple meals. So, why is it difficult to discipline myself to schedule time with God? I always have good intentions, however, before I know it, the night is gone and I’ve not spent any time with Him.

Living spiritually aware leads us to peace and comfort, even (or especially) when our circumstances are not what we would like. Elisha didn’t panic because he was spiritually aware. He knew the Lord’s army was with them. They were not alone.

There will be times when our hearts race and panic threatens to creep in. Those are the moments when we need to tune our hearts to our God-radar and listen for the ping. We must learn to turn our focus away from our circumstances and toward our sovereign God who was, and is, and will always be in control.

So often in life, we search for wisdom in the wrong places. We watch videos, reels, and Ted Talks. We read books, ask friends, and go to counselors of all sorts. All of these can have merit. But where we start and end our treasure hunts is key to unearthing the wisdom God is standing at the ready to give us in generous portions.

Throughout Scripture, wisdom is equated to a treasure. Romans 11:33a tells us, “Oh the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God…” Colossians 2:3 points us to where the treasure is hidden; “In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” And James 1 tells us that all we need to do is ask for it.

“And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” - Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬

On each occasion the presence of God evoked worship and exaltation of His glory and his holiness. The angels never ceased crying out about the glory and the holiness of God. The elders fell prostrate before God and abandoned their crowns and symbols of glory. Their own glory paled in comparison to the glory of the omnipotent God. Isaiah recognized his state of uncleanness when he faced God, John responded with weeping and Ezekiel fell on his face when he heard the voice of God. Their automatic response was worship, adulation and awe at the majesty of God. The weight of his presence caused the spirit within them to yield in worship. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for his good pleasure. Worship is intimacy with God as an entrance into his presence. Worship from clean hands and a pure heart as we express our love, gratitude and adoration for him. We are created in his image and likeness and our being and existence speaks of the glory of God.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” - James 5:1

I’m learning I must lean heavily on scripture to help guide me in making decisions through the lens of Godly wisdom. One of my favorites for this is James 5:1, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” I love this verse because it emphasizes the generosity of the Lord. He doesn’t just offer us a little wisdom now and then; He offers it generously and continually. And He offers it not only on the big decisions of life, but on the little things, too (the things I tend to make a mess of!). Having a decision-making partner who is the literal source of all wisdom is comforting, indeed! How different our lives will be if we take Him up on this offer to seek His wisdom in our daily lives.

Thank You for giving me Your words in Scripture, to show me the way to Your abundant life. When I hunger and thirst for guidance, help me to trust in Your Holy Spirit to comfort and fill me with Your faithful goodness. When I face the challenges of tomorrow, please walk beside me through the fires and trials, so that my feet may not slip. Lord Jesus, let Your light continue to guide me on my life journey. Make me a wise follower, and give me courage to act boldly for Your glory. In Your name, Jesus, Amen.

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” -- James 1:5

God is not interested if we are winning in life. He seeks to be close to us so we reflect His love through our lives. Ultimately, wisdom builds our life on the solid rock of Christ instead of the shaky ground of chance, indecision, or discouragement. A life built on the solid foundation of Godly wisdom provides a compass for guidance and helps us withstand storms.

Wisdom to Do the Right Thing - A Nighttime Prayer

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13 NIV

Heavenly Father, I sometimes find myself in situations where I feel unfairly treated. In these moments, I often believe that the best way to handle it is to take the burden completely upon myself and do what I feel is best. But I know, through your Word, that this is not the best way to handle things. Father, I ask that you would grant me the wisdom I need to process through what is wrong and lean on you for divine guidance as to what the best solution might be. Lead me and guide me to be the person you need me to be. I pray these things in Jesus's name, Amen!

By Charlaine Martin

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James 3:13

James 3 tells us that our words have the power to influence people for good or destroy them. James follows it with wisdom in verses 13 through 18. Wisdom helps us control our words by yielding our will to God’s will. Certainly, our anger might be justified, but what we say and do changes the outcome. The world may tell us to follow our hearts, but God says that letting our emotions affect our decisions will only lead to trouble. By humbly yielding our will to God, He empowers us to release our pride and put His Word into practice, producing peace.

Turning Wounds into Wisdom

I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence . - Proverbs 8:12

Unfortunately, our wounds are more likely to produce feelings and emotions instead of wisdom. Wisdom isn’t the product of emotion, though acting on our emotions often brings us an opportunity to gain wisdom. Most of the emotions we experience after being hurt arise from lies we believe why we were wounded. I deserved to be hurt because I’m not . . . smart enough, kind enough, pretty enough, good enough. The list goes on. But God’s Word tells us we are created in His image (see Genesis 1:27). Through His Word we know we are His masterpiece (see Ephesians 2:10).

Why do you stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble? -- Psalm 10:1-2

Have you ever heard someone say, "I like Jesus, but if I could just see Him, then I'd believe?" Of course, this isn't true because many people saw Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead, and some still didn't believe He was the Son of God. When God goes invisible in stressful times like our uncertain, chaotic world of today, that is when we need to trust Him the most.

How do we learn to trust someone we can't see?

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.- Proverbs 16:9

Despite our best efforts, and doing everything right, we may not win every battle that comes our way. It can be hard to see the sunshine through the pain. However, there is one race we can win. When we are counted out, God still calls us a winner. When we are shattered by the trials of life, God…still has a plan. No matter where we are in our race of life, when we place our trust in Him, we win. We can trust God to work everything out for our good. So, no matter how much life has knocked us down, we can get back up. Even when it looks like we are too far behind, we can stay in the race and finish. With God, no loss is ever a loss. We can fight another day. We can make it through this season of life.

Trusting God to Direct Our Path

By Laura Maser

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6

In this episode, we share a deeply personal experience from our morning quiet time, where we meditated on the concept of trust in God. Struggling initially to focus, we prayed and felt God's guidance, leading us to Proverbs 3:5-6. This scripture encouraged us to trust in the Lord completely and not rely on our own understanding. The Holy Spirit illuminated the difference between acknowledging and submitting to God's will, using the analogy of obeying traffic lights to highlight the importance of true submission for a safe and guided path.

We then recount two tragic real-life examples that challenged the notion of trust in God. The first involves a couple who lost their home to a fire, and the second details a pastor's family affected by a fatal car accident. These heartbreaking events brought forth the question, "Trust God?" Despite their profound grief, both families exhibited incredible faith and resilience, finding solace and purpose through their trust in God. Their stories serve as powerful testimonies of unwavering faith amidst unimaginable trials.

Finally, we reflect on the broader scope of God's work through seemingly small but significant events. From miraculous births at the pregnancy center where we volunteer to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, each instance reinforces the importance of trusting God. Scriptures like Psalm 139:13-14 and John 14:1-4 remind us of God's intricate care and eternal promises. This episode aims to inspire listeners to deepen their trust in God, regardless of life's storms, and find peace in His steadfast love and guidance.

Strength in the Storm

By Sarah Freymuth

In this episode, we delve into the awe-inspiring power of storms and draw parallels to the mighty power of God. From the thunderous roars and lightning strikes to the relentless rain and bending trees, the elements of a storm showcase nature's uncontainable force. Yet, this immense power is but a fraction of God's might, as reflected in Psalm 29:3-9, which describes the voice of the Lord thundering over mighty waters, breaking cedars, and shaking deserts. Through this vivid imagery, we are reminded of God's unparalleled strength and the reverent fear it can instill in us.

As we reflect on the power of God displayed through nature, we also recognize His gentleness and care for our hearts. The God who formed the universe holds us in the palm of His hand, guiding our lives, answering prayers, and nurturing our relationships. In the midst of life's storms, we can find solace in knowing that God never sleeps nor slumbers and keeps a watchful eye on His children. Whether we are weary or overwhelmed by the challenges we face, we can turn to the Lord and experience His unfailing love and strength.

This episode encourages listeners to place their trust in God, who works all things for good and shepherds us through difficult times. Despite the raging storms in the world and within our hearts, we are reminded that God is in control and can calm our fears and uncertainties. By embracing His power and love, we can find strength and comfort, knowing that the same God who calms the seas also brings peace to our hearts.

"He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing. He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight. He covers the face of the full moon, spreading his clouds over it. He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness.

By his breath the skies became fair; his hand pierced the gliding serpent. And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?" -Job 26: 7-14, NIV

In this episode, we recount a moment of awe and reverence as we stood in the damp grass of an open field, witnessing the breathtaking northern lights. The scientific explanation of this phenomenon fades in comparison to the incomprehensible power of our Creator, who fills the dark sky with dancing shades of green, red, and white. This extraordinary feat of nature reminded us of God's magnificent presence, inspiring us to offer praise and thanks for His wondrous creations.

Have you ever found yourself marveling at the sheer beauty of a moment or feeling the all-consuming presence of God? Perhaps you've experienced something so powerful and miraculous that it left you with an unexplainable sense of wonder and peace. In this episode, we reflect on how easy it is to forget these divine encounters during challenging times, often taking matters into our own hands instead of seeking God's guidance and wisdom. Through the story of Job, we explore how remembering God's faithfulness and sovereignty can bring comfort and assurance, even in the face of adversity.

As we grow in our faith, we learn to surrender our chaos and confusion to God, inviting the power of the Holy Spirit into our lives to restore peace. Like Job, we can find refuge in knowing that our mighty God, who holds the world in His hands, loves and cares for us. We encourage you to spend time outside this week, marveling at God's majestic works, and to remember His deeds through journaling, reading the Word, and prayer. Join us as we meditate on Psalm 77:11-12 and remind ourselves that God has never failed us and never will.

In this episode, we reflect on Nehemiah 9:17: "But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love." When we think of God's power, we often recall the grand miracles of the Bible—Noah's flood, the plagues of Egypt, and Lazarus rising from the dead. These awe-inspiring acts showcase God's sovereign control over nature.

However, there's another dimension to God's power—His quiet, transformative power to forgive. Today, we explore this subtle yet profound aspect of God's nature. We'll delve into the story of Corrie ten Boom, who experienced the divine power of forgiveness even in the aftermath of unimaginable suffering during World War II.

I will also share a personal journey of struggling with deep wounds and the steps I've taken toward forgiveness, inspired by God's boundless grace. Forgiving others, and sometimes ourselves, can feel impossible. Yet, through God's limitless power, we find the strength to forgive, demonstrating a miracle that glorifies God in its quiet, yet powerful, way.

Join us as we uncover how the quiet power of God's forgiveness can flow through us, enabling us to extend grace and mercy, even in the most challenging circumstances.

Embracing God’s Power in Our Weakness - A Nighttime Prayer

Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong. - 2 Corinthians 12:8-10

Father, help me feel content with my weaknesses because you say you perfect your strength and power in them. Lord, I ask that you even help me boast or rejoice, as Paul says, in my weaknesses rather than despise them. Help me trust you with all of my weak places, especially the ones that bother me the most, because I know this is where your power will be shown the greatest. After all, your Word says you choose what is weak to shame the strong. Help me never to trust in my strength and power but to boast in yours. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

By Susan Mcilmoil

In this episode, we delve into the profound message of 2 Corinthians 12:8-10, where the Apostle Paul reveals a counterintuitive truth: God's power is made perfect in our weaknesses. Susan Mcilmoil shares her personal struggles with anxiety, highlighting the tendency to view weaknesses as obstacles to usefulness. Paul's experience of pleading with the Lord to remove his thorn yet finding strength in his weakness offers a compelling perspective. We explore how God's economy is different, where power does not solely manifest in grand miracles but is also perfected in our frailest moments.

We often associate power with strength and invincibility, but in God's kingdom, power comes through vulnerability. By embracing our limitations and anxieties, we create space for God's grace to work profoundly within us. This episode encourages us to stop striving to eliminate our weaknesses and instead to see them as opportunities for God's power to be displayed. Susan reminds us that Jesus Himself modeled this truth, walking in human weakness yet fully relying on God's strength. His journey to the cross exemplifies how humility and reliance on the Father can lead to ultimate victory.

As we reflect on Paul's message, we understand that acknowledging our humanity and weaknesses qualifies us to carry God's power. This episode challenges the worldly notion of overcoming weaknesses by our strength. Instead, we are called to rest in God's sufficient grace and let His strength shine through our frailty. By embracing our vulnerabilities, we allow God's power to transform us, leading to true freedom and victory. Join us in this powerful exploration of how our weaknesses can become the greatest conduits of God's mighty power, bringing hope and renewal to our lives.

“Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.” - Ephesians 4:26

In today's episode, we dive into the profound truth found in Ephesians 4:26, "Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil." This verse reminds us that feeling anger is natural, but how we handle it is crucial. Kathy Collard Miller recounts a harrowing moment from over forty years ago when she lost control of her anger with her toddler daughter, Darcy. In the throes of her rage, she felt hopeless and feared for their future. It was a desperate prayer to God that began her journey toward understanding and overcoming her anger.

Through God’s Word, Kathy learned that anger itself isn't a sin, but unchecked anger can lead us down a dark path. Ephesians 4:26 illuminated this truth for her, showing that God provides the power to manage our emotions and respond righteously. Fellowship played a vital role in her healing, as sharing her struggles with a neighborhood Bible study group led to powerful prayer and accountability. James 5:16 emphasizes the importance of confessing our sins to one another, and Kathy experienced firsthand the healing that comes from such vulnerability.

Moreover, exposure to others' encouragement and recognizing her perfectionism were critical steps in her transformation. As Hebrews 10:24-25 and Philippians 1:6 guided her, she learned that God's work in us is ongoing and often gradual. Accepting this allowed her to witness God's power manifest in her life slowly but surely. Today, Kathy looks at her adult daughter and marvels at how God's healing power has not only restored their relationship but also turned her anger into a ministry that helps others. Join us as we explore these four ways God empowers us to overcome our challenges and find hope in His unending strength.

One Simple Question Transformed My Understanding of God

By Amy Olrick

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -John 16:33

In this episode, Amy Olrick shares how one simple question revolutionized her relationship with God. Reflecting on John 16:33, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world," Amy recounts joining a women's Bible study during her children's toddler years. An older woman's advice to ask, "God, what do you want me to see?" in times of hardship initially met with skepticism. However, as Amy faced challenges like raising three boys on a tight budget, she began to embrace this question, discovering God's provision and care in the everyday struggles of life.

Amy continues her story by sharing moments of exhaustion and desperation, where the question, "God, what do you want me to see?" brought her comfort and guidance. From the biblical account of Elijah under the juniper tree, she learned that God meets us with rest and recuperation, without guilt. In times of deep loss and heartbreak, the question became a lifeline, revealing the steadfast kindness of God through the story of Peter's betrayal and stubbornness. Amy found solace in the God who draws close to the brokenhearted and builds unshakeable faith.

By Shirley Brosius

I want to know Christ–yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.” - Philippians 3:10-11 NIV

In this episode, we explore the profound journey of knowing Christ as illustrated by Philippians 3:10-11: “I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.” From childhood experiences on a farm, witnessing the wonders of God's creation, to the northern lights, and nurturing a childlike faith through Bible stories and church, our host shares their early encounters with God.

As a young woman, the host's faith deepened through studying scripture and prayer, leading to a life dedicated to God at the age of 30. Initially apprehensive about being sent to Africa, they discovered God's mission was closer to home, teaching Bible lessons to neighborhood children. Through these experiences, they learned about God's miracles, compassion, and the ultimate act of love in sending Jesus as the sacrificial lamb.

The host recounts personal trials, including the loss of their daughter, which tested their faith but ultimately strengthened their relationship with God. Memorizing scripture, such as the book of Philippians and passages from the gospel of John, became a source of comfort and strength during challenging times. Through service as a director of Christian education and a speaking and writing ministry, the host's journey of knowing Christ continues to evolve. Join us as we delve into a lifetime of faith, growing closer to God through scripture, prayer, and life's experiences.

“Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 ESV).

In this episode, we delve into the profound truth found in John 14:6, where Jesus declares, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Amidst a world promoting religious coexistence, it's crucial to understand the unique path to knowing God as presented in the Christian faith. We explore the disciples' eagerness to know God and Jesus' clear instruction that He is the sole way to eternity with the Father. Despite many modern perspectives suggesting multiple paths to heaven, we affirm the singular truth of Christ's message.

We begin by examining the importance of knowing ourselves according to God's standards. Recognizing our creation and belonging to God, acknowledging our sinful nature, and understanding that without Him, we remain in spiritual bondage are essential steps. Once we accept these truths, we can embark on the journey of truly knowing God. This process involves seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance, spending time with the Heavenly Father through scripture, prayer, and godly community, and applying the truth of God’s Word to our daily lives.

Lastly, we emphasize the significance of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in knowing God. It’s not just about acquiring facts but walking through life with Him, constantly engaging with Him in thought, conversation, and worship. True knowledge of God comes through believing in Jesus Christ, the only way to the Father. Join us as we explore how to truly know and love God as He loves us, and beware of false teachings that deviate from this Biblical truth.

The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out, “Yahweh! The Lord! The God of compassion and mercy! I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness.” – Exodus 34:6

In this episode, we explore a verse that beautifully captures the essence of God’s nature, repeated throughout the Bible more than 20 times. Despite this, many of us struggle to see God as being for us. This episode draws parallels with the well-known Still Face Experiment in attachment science, where a toddler reacts to a mother's unresponsive face, highlighting how we might perceive God’s still face in our lives.

We delve into how these perceptions can create emotional disconnection and trust issues, contrasting with the biblical portrayal of God as compassionate, merciful, slow to anger, and filled with unfailing love and kindness. We discuss how broken human attachments can influence our view of God and how the Holy Spirit helps us rewire our brains for perfect love.

Join us as we unpack the significance of daily interaction with the Holy Spirit, the importance of seeing God’s delighted face, and finding emotional safety and healing in His presence. Remember, you are not exempt from experiencing God’s compassionate and loving nature.

“That I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death.” - Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬

In this episode, we explore Philippians 3:10, reflecting on the desire to know Jesus and the power of His resurrection. We discuss John 14, where Jesus comforts His disciples by declaring Himself the way, the truth, and the life, and promises to prepare a place for them. This chapter highlights the assurance that knowing Jesus is knowing the Father and the unity between them.

We also delve into Jesus’s promise of the Holy Spirit, our Helper, who lives in us and teaches us all things. Even after Jesus’s ascension, the Holy Spirit remains with us, providing hope, comfort, and guidance. Through the Spirit, we experience God’s presence and grow in our spiritual journey.

Finally, we emphasize the importance of prayer, studying the Word, and fellowship with other believers. These practices help us mature in Christ and prepare for His return. Our salvation, a gift by faith through grace, is deepened as we submit to the Holy Spirit’s leading, learning all we need to know about God.

Father, how easy it is to take for granted the most important things! How easy it is to lack gratitude when faced with the challenges of daily life. Help me stay aligned with Your ways and Your Word so that I walk the path of freedom. Thank you for the most precious gift of salvation in Christ and for my many blessings and freedoms.

I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out Your precepts.” Psalm 119:45

In this episode, we explore the profound experiences of a recent visit to Washington, DC, where our host had the privilege of touring the national monuments and memorials. The quiet respect, expertly crafted structures, endless rows of heroes' names, and personal mementos left by family members evoke somber gratitude for those who have fought to secure our freedoms. Unexpectedly, this journey also sparked a deep connection to Christian faith. From the Bible verses in Abraham Lincoln's speeches at the Lincoln Memorial to "Praise be to God" inscribed in Latin on the Washington Monument, the tour felt like a faith walk, intertwining themes of faith and freedom.

Later, the visit to the Museum of the Bible and their virtual aerial tour of the same sites deepened this connection further, revealing even more Biblical references throughout the city. These experiences highlighted the importance of gratitude and the ease with which we can overlook our profound gifts. The ultimate freedom in Christ, paid for at the highest price, and our societal freedoms, including the freedom to practice faith, are privileges that can be taken for granted amidst daily chaos.

This episode encourages listeners to prioritize daily moments of gratitude, thanking the Lord for freedoms, and seeking His guidance in making choices that honor them. Drawing inspiration from Psalm 119:45, "I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out Your precepts," the episode emphasizes that walking in freedom is both a privilege and a responsibility. Listeners are invited to reflect on what it means to walk in freedom and to commit to making choices that honor these freedoms in their daily lives.
