Are UFO's from another planet, or another realm? Guest host Rebekah Haynie talks Derrick Warfel, author of "UFO's and God," as he explains the reasons that aliens from other planets is very unlikely, and that many of the creatures that have allegedly visited earth are likely spiritual beings.  Amy DeMarcangelo, author of "Young Womanhood," seeks to offer some foundational understandings of how and why God created the female body, and its original design is good!  When this is understood, so many worries and fears teen girls have are addressed.

The Joy Bringer Podcast - 2 Samuel 11 (Know The Assignment)

 summary

Season reads and reflects on 2 Samuel 11, using David, Bathsheba, and Uriah to explore what happens when someone abandons their assignment and tries to cover up wrongdoing. She emphasizes Bathsheba’s lack of choice, contrasts David’s failure with Uriah’s faithfulness, and encourages listeners to stay attentive to God and seek honesty rather than deepen a cover-up.

What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't evidence that you've lost the battle—but proof that you've been fighting faithfully?

BEING TIRED DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE DEFEATED! AND THE GOD WHO GAVE YOU VICTORY YESTERDAY IS STILL WITH YOU TODAY!

In this powerful series finale of Goliath Never Wins, Pastor Samuel Rodriguez delivers a prophetic, faith-building message revealing an extraordinary truth from 2 Samuel 21: You are not anointed to defeat just one giant!

Throughout this series, we've discovered how David's private victories over the lion and the bear prepared him for Goliath, why the distance between you and your giant is called faith, and why every breakthrough requires boundaries and discipleship.

But now, in this culminating message, Pastor Sam takes us decades beyond David's famous victory to reveal something remarkable.

David had defeated Goliath, conquered armies, become king, and witnessed God's faithfulness throughout his life. Yet years later, another giant appeared—and this time, David was weak and exhausted.

THE SAME DAVID WHO ONCE RAN TOWARD GOLIATH WAS NOW WEARY FROM YEARS OF FIGHTING!

But his exhaustion didn't mean he had lost his calling, his anointing, or God's favor.

Through this powerful conclusion, discover why the enemy may return with new weapons and strategies, why the giants of yesterday don't get to determine your future, and why your weariness may actually be evidence of your faithfulness.

THE ENEMY MAY CHANGE HIS FACE, BUT HE NEVER CHANGES HIS ASSIGNMENT!

Drawing from the four remaining giants in 2 Samuel 21 and the five stones David originally gathered in 1 Samuel 17, Pastor Sam reveals that God is able to equip you for battles you haven't even encountered yet!

But there's an even greater revelation.

BEING TIRED DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE DEFEATED. BEING WEARY DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE FINISHED!

Whether you've spent this year battling spiritual opposition, financial pressure, family struggles, emotional exhaustion, or circumstances that have tested your faith, this message will remind you that the same God who brought you through yesterday is still holding your future.

You don't have to pretend you're never tired. You don't have to fight in your own strength. And you don't have to face every giant alone.

THOSE WHO WAIT UPON THE LORD WILL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH!

Get ready to rise with wings like eagles, receive renewed strength, and step into new heights through Jesus Christ!

THE GIANTS MAY KEEP COMING, BUT THE GOD WHO GIVES YOU VICTORY NEVER CHANGES!

GOLIATH NEVER WINS!

Giving Tuesday is a global moment of generosity. But how can ministry leaders make the most of this opportunity—and inspire giving that lasts long after the day is over?

In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Jason Watson welcomes back Dave Raley, author of The Rise of Sustainable Giving and founder of the Center for Sustainable Giving, to explore how churches, ministries, and nonprofit organisations can make the most of Giving Tuesday while building a more sustainable approach to generosity.

Dave shares practical strategies for planning a Giving Tuesday campaign, crafting compelling fundraising appeals, and encouraging recurring giving. Together, they also explore the spiritual dimension of generosity, why Christian leaders sometimes struggle to ask for financial support, and how giving can become a meaningful part of Christian discipleship.

Whether you lead a large organisation or a small ministry with limited resources, this conversation offers practical encouragement to inspire generosity and build lasting support for God's mission.

Make the most of Giving Tuesday. Start early, reach your supporters, and follow up afterwards.

Craft a compelling appeal. Show what a gift will achieve and why it matters now.

Think beyond one-time donations. Encourage recurring giving to sustain ministry throughout the year.

Disciple people in generosity. Giving is a spiritual discipline, not just a financial transaction.

Ask with faith. Trusting God's provision and inviting financial support can go hand in hand.

Dave Raley is the founder and CEO of the Center for Sustainable Giving, an organisation dedicated to helping leaders grow generosity and develop sustainable funding models. He is the author of The Rise of Sustainable Giving and host of the Sustainable Giving Podcast.

With more than 20 years of experience working with nonprofit organisations, Dave helps leaders understand emerging trends, develop recurring giving strategies, and build sustainable approaches to fundraising. He also writes The Wave Report, sharing insights on innovation, leadership, and the future of generosity.
