  • Faith & Finance - Live Simply, Give Generously with Randy Alcorn

    Living simply isn’t about deprivation—it’s about freedom. And that freedom can unleash extraordinary generosity.

    God calls us to live with eternity in mind—not clinging to possessions but using what we have for His Kingdom. Randy Alcorn joins us today to talk about how we can loosen our grip on earthly things to open our hands to eternal impact.

    Randy Alcorn is the founder and director of Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM) and the New York Times Bestselling author of more than 60 books, including Heaven, Money, Possessions, and Eternity, The Treasure Principle, and Giving Is the Good Life. His books have been translated into over 70 languages and have sold more than 10 million copies.

    Simplicity That Leads to Generosity

    You’ve likely heard the phrase, “Live simply, that others may simply live.” It’s a short sentence with a world of meaning behind it—and one that feels increasingly relevant today.

    Everywhere we look, we see need. It’s been that way ever since sin entered the world, but now the sheer scale is staggering—billions of people living in poverty, lacking food, clean water, or access to opportunity. When we consider this, it should be shocking to see how much of a difference it would make if those of us who follow Jesus simply chose to live on less—so that we could give more.

  • Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast - Uninvited Guests - How to Discipline Your Child Effectively, Part 1

    Discipline. It’s only one word, but it conjures up a multitude of thoughts or memories. In this message, Chip encourages us that done properly, discipline can actually build a strong, positive bond between you and your kids.

    Case Study #1 – Reuben Hill (Minnesota Report)

    • Summary: The balanced authoritative parent, who gives high support (love) and high control (discipline), typically produces children with high self-esteem, good coping skills, and a positive relationship with parents.

    Case Study #2 – Hebrews 12 - Christians A.D. 66-70

    • Summary: Discipline is teaching obedience to God and His Word through consistentconsequences (actions) and clear instructions (words) in an atmosphere of love.

    Five characteristics of discipline:

    1. The necessity of discipline = To deter DESTRUCTION. -Heb. 12:4
    2. The means of discipline = The ACTIONS and WORDS. -Heb. 12:5
    3. The motive in discipline = To express LOVE. -Heb. 12:6-9
    4. The goal of discipline = To teach OBEDIENCE or SUBMISSION. -Heb. 12:9
    5. The result of discipline = Short term PAIN and long term GAIN. -Heb. 12:10,11

    Two key biblical concepts

    1) Actions: Consistent consequences

    Seven steps to discipline:

    1. Clear WARNING.
    2. Establish responsibility.
    3. Avoid EMBARASSMENT.
    4. Communicate grief.
    5. Flick the WRIST.
    6. Sincere repentance.
    7. Unconditional LOVE.

    2) Words: Clear instructions

    Four ways to use words to bring about correction:

    1. Say “no” FIRMLY.
    2. CLEAR WARNING of consequences.
    3. Use CONTRACTS.
    4. Use CONSEQUENCES

  • Allen Jackson Ministries - #712: Shaping Culture - When God Moves

    The Bible says we're going to need strength and effort to follow the Lord. In fact, the greatest demands of our lives will be attached to our faith. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how we can step up and shape culture with our allegiance to Jesus Christ. It begins with intentional spiritual growth and discipline—often uncomfortable, but necessary. Pastor Allen shares the importance of influencing the next generation to practice godliness, and he speaks on the biblical reasons Christians should support the Jewish people. There's a lot of pushback in the culture regarding those two issues, but God is shaking the earth, revealing Himself as the only steady foundation. We can trust that He will restore His people.

  • A Love Language Minute - Apologies Are Necessary

    Apologies are a necessity. Admit that you need to apologize, then express your apology and admit that your behavior was wrong. Most of the time, a sincere apology will result in the other person forgiving you.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - October 28th - Galatians 6:7-8

    Galatians 6:7-8

    Don’t be misled – you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.

    The principle of ‘you reap what you sow’ is both obvious and profound. If you sow a field full of wheat, you would be crazy to expect a crop of potatoes. It’s so obvious, but the message fundamentally challenges the way in which we live every day because each word that we speak and action that we perform will have consequences. If we are kind, gracious and loving, there will be one kind of outcome, and if we are spiteful, angry and destructive, there will be a completely different result.
    Paul drew the conclusion that we should therefore not become tired of doing good things, knowing that sooner or later there will be a good harvest. Of course, the problem quite often is that it takes a long time to see any positive outcome from doing good. It is possible to work in a children’s or youth club for years before you see any positive outcomes. I have known people work in local churches for decades without seeing any tangible successes. Indeed, sometimes people are unkind and critical of the things that we do, and it all feels like terribly hard work.
    All of this means that we need to focus our energies on ensuring that we plant good seed. That was precisely Paul’s situation with the Galatian church. He faced fierce opposition, and many people wanted him to believe that he had got it all wrong, but he knew that the seed he was planting was the best. The good news of salvation was a message of hope and liberty that would never let people down, so he kept preaching it, however cruel and resistant people might be. Similarly, we will often find ourselves in situations that are tough and unrewarding and, if we are convinced that we are doing God’s good work, he will always encourage us to hang in there, knowing that a good harvest will definitely result one day.

    Question

    In what situations or relationships are you needing to ‘hang in there’ at the moment?

    Prayer

    Lord God, thank you for the work that you call me to do. Help me to keep doing good even when it is tough and unrewarding. Amen

  • Building Strong Homes: Blueprints to Strengthen Yo... - Ep. 146: When Feelings Fade: Finding Hope for Your Marriage Through Everyday Moments with Dan & Danielle Macaulay

    Every marriage goes through seasons—some filled with laughter and connection, and others that feel dry, distant, or lonely. Maybe you've found yourself wondering, "What happened to us? Why can't we enjoy doing things together like we used to?" The feelings you once had faded, and no matter how hard you try, it feels like you're just going through the motions.

    If that sounds familiar, you are not alone.

    Dan and Danielle Macaulay, founders of MarriedUp.net and authors of The Triangle Effect, talk about what to do when love feels more like effort than emotion—and how inviting God into the center of your relationship can renew your faith, your hope, and your heart for each other.

    If your marriage feels stuck, strained, or spiritually disconnected, this honest and encouraging conversation will remind you: your story isn't over, and God can still bring beauty out of what feels broken. But before we get started, I just wanted to warn you that we do talk about intimacy some in this episode so you may not want little ears around.
