  • Freedom in Christ: Untie Negative Cords and Break Free

    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.

  • Failure for Teens is Survivable - A Nighttime Prayer

    Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. – Romans 12:12

    Lord, I maintain my hope in You, and I hold onto the assurance that what I am praying for is already accomplished in the name of Jesus. In this new school year ahead, I ask that as a parent you give me strength, patience, and above all please grant me wisdom as I guide my children through the rigors of another academic year.  As David prayed in Psalm 18:1: “I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Lord, please bless this school year. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

    “for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”  -- 2 Timothy 1:7

  • Go the Distance - A Nighttime Prayer

    Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.  -- 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (NKJV).

    Heavenly Father, I just ask that You would help me to be be more disciplined in my faith. I pray that you will help me to make the right choices, not ones that are convenient and comfortable, but ones that are ordained by you. I ask that you would guide me to constantly seek peace, joy, and contentment in my decisions and steer me away from greed, envy, gossip, and anything else that might lead me astray. I am forever grateful for your loving compassion for me even when I don't deserve it. I am quite thankful for your loving guidance. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

  • Go the Distance

    By Lilka Finley Raphael

    Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown.  -- 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 (NKJV).

    The race set before us requires discipline as well. We may not strive for gold, but we serve a purpose in our Father’s plan. Athletes continually push themselves to reach new heights and milestones. Unfortunately, many of us merely do what we have always done regarding spiritual matters. We may go to church or spend time with God yet never experience greater intimacy with the Lord or an eagerness to serve Him.

  • Why Should I Meditate on Scripture? - A Nighttime Prayer

    “My eyes are awake through the night watches, that I may meditate on Your word.” — Psalm 119:148

    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. I desire to spend more time contemplating all that Your word teaches me about who You are, who You say I am, and how I can now live because I am a new creation in Christ. Help me set aside focused time to meditate on Your word and allow the Holy Spirit to give me a deeper understanding and wisdom to apply to my daily life. In Jesus’ name, amen.

  • Growing in Spiritual Discipline - A Nighttime Prayer

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

    Heavenly Father, we come to you as Your children. We love You and praise Your Holy Name. Guide us into this new lifestyle of spiritual discipline according to Your divine will. Help us to keep our eyes on You and to follow Your voice and shake off things that would weigh us down on our faith journey. Help us to walk the path You have set before us, and not look to the right or to the left. Help us to be Your light in this dark world, while pointing others to You. All these things we ask in the name of Jesus. Amen.
