We often admire those whose talents are easily recognized, but Dr. Tony Evans reminds us that God has given each of us unique gifts. Tune in to explore how to identify those gifts and discern the best ways—and times—to use them.

What if the stress, anxiety, and burnout we feel aren’t signs that we’re doing too much, but signs that we’re plugged into the wrong source? It’s time for us to unplug so we can actually recharge.

In this episode, Christine Caine invites us to follow the example of Jesus, who regularly withdrew from the crowds to pray, reminding us that peace, clarity, and strength are found not in constant connection, but in God’s presence. As our devices demand more of us than ever, this message calls us to unplug from the virtual world and intentionally plug into the One who renews our souls and restores our joy.

✨ Be equipped and empowered to discover:

● Why Jesus intentionally withdrew from people to be with the Father.

● How constant digital connection is fueling anxiety, burnout, and distraction.

● What it practically looks like to unplug from technology and plug into God.

00:00 Introduction to the Bread of Life

Following Jesus isn’t about adding God to your life … it’s about dying to yourself.  Today on BOLD STEPS, Mark Jobe challenges cultural Christianity with biblical truth.  Matthew 10 unpacks the commitment test of discipleship—why Jesus brings a sword, not peace, and what it means to truly make Him Lord.  Listen to Bold Steps with Mark Jobe.

In this powerful and faith-building episode, we unpack a simple football lesson that reveals a profound biblical truth: the game is won when you begin with the Word. Just like every game starts with a kickoff, victory in life begins when you start your day, your decisions, and every season of your life grounded in God’s Word.

Before the phone, before the emails, before social media — begin with the Word. Because when you begin with the Word, you end in victory. Rooted in John 1 and Luke 1:37, this message reminds us that the Word of God never fails — not in crisis, not in uncertainty, not in struggle, and not even in our weakest moments.

Through powerful football analogies, this episode reveals:

Why believers are called to play offense, not defense

How God sometimes places you in “shotgun” — separation for preparation, not punishment

The importance of spiritual protection, renewing your mind, and holding the Word close to your heart

How to overcome life’s tackles without losing possession of your purpose

Why your season of delay may actually be divine alignment

How to hear God clearly and move forward with confidence

The power of praise, faith, and obedience to outmaneuver the enemy

Why 2026 is a year of forward progress, recovery, and victory

You will be encouraged to go deeper in God’s Word, guard your mind, surround yourself with faith-filled believers, and trust that even when life tackles you, if you hold on to the Word, you will rise again.

This episode is a call to step onto the field, stop playing defense, and advance with bold faith — because when you begin with the Word, run with the Word, and live by the Word… the Word wins.
