“For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God” (Romans 8:14 NLT). The father-child relationship is one of assurance. In the Old Testament, God is described as a father only fifteen times. In the New Testament he is referred to as our father more than two hundred times. So what happened between the Old and New?

Christ happened. His death on the cross was the final payment for our sins. As far as the east is from the west so far has he removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:12 NIV). If you travel north or south, you’ll eventually reach the North or South Pole and change directions. But east and west have no turning points. Neither does God. His forgiveness is irreversible. Headline this truth: when God sees you, he does not see your sin.

When Royston’s daughter Hannah suffered a brain bleed that resulted in a coma, he and his family repeatedly turned to God in prayer. Over months of waiting they clung to each other—and to God. The family’s faith awakened, as Royston reflected: “Never has God felt closer.” Throughout the ordeal, they were given “a renewal of faith to persist in prayer” like the “widow of Luke 18.”

Royston referred to Jesus’ story about a widow who continually sought justice from the town’s official, which He gave to illustrate “that they should always pray and not give up” (Luke 18:1). This woman appealed repeatedly to the judge, who in weariness finally relented. Jesus contrasted that uncaring judge with God, saying, “Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night?” (v. 7).

Although Jesus’ story addresses an unjust judge, the family members felt spurred on by it to pray for Hannah, asking the truly just and loving God for relief and help. They found themselves being drawn ever closer to Him: “As we seek God . . . it’s almost as if we’re the ones really waking up from our slumber.” After many months, Hannah woke from the coma and is slowly recovering.

When we draw close to God, He hears our requests and answers according to His grace. He invites us to cry out to Him day or night.

Infomercials may seem cheesy, but they often get one thing right: the sales pitch is clear, dramatic, and fast. Most business owners present their products like they’re chatting over coffee, not realizing they’re competing with autoplay videos and an infinite scroll of distractions. The result? Content with no energy, clarity, or urgency. Subtle doesn’t sell. That’s why the repetitive, over-the-top style of these high-energy TV sellers still works. So what makes those pitches so effective, and how can you apply the same tactics to grow your brand?

This week, hosts Don and Kyle are unpacking two of the most legendary product pitches in TV history: OxiClean with Billy Mays and ShamWow with Vince Offer. They break down why these commercials still work, from soundbite stacking and urgent CTAs to the art of bold, dramatic language that holds attention. You’ll learn how the right pitch can create a billion-dollar brand (even for a towel). Tune in to learn how you can write better copy, make stronger pitches, and finally understand why clarity beats cleverness every time!

To whom does the Trinity entrust your protection? You “were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit” (Ephesians 1:13 ESV). We have been once-and-for-all-time sealed by the Spirit for redemption.

Seal—you know the verb. You twist a jar to seal the pickles. You notarize the contract to seal the deal. Sealing declares ownership and secures contents. Sealing says, “This is mine, and this is protected.”

When you accepted Christ, God sealed you with the Spirit. He cocooned you, assuring your safekeeping. Satan might woo you, discourage you, and, for a time, influence you. But he cannot have you. Christ “has identified you as his own, guaranteeing that you will be saved on the day of redemption” (Ephesians 4:30 NLT).
