Mike Schmitz – Nobody Said It Would Be Easy — But Jesus Said He Would 

Be With You Every Step of the Way

In this honest and deeply encouraging message, Mike Schmitz reminds us 

that Jesus never once promised us an easy life — but He made a promise 

far more powerful than that. The struggles, the exhaustion, the 

setbacks, the moments where everything in you wants to stop and give 

up — whether you are fighting through grief, battling doubt, pushing 

through failure, or simply worn down by the relentless demands of 

everyday life — are real, they are hard, and they are seen by a Jesus 

who has not left your side for a single moment. Life is not easy. But 

you were never meant to walk it alone.

This episode encourages you to stop waiting for life to get easier 

before you keep going and start drawing on the presence of Jesus to 

keep going right now — exactly as things are. When the road feels too 

long and your strength feels too thin, that's your signal to lean into 

the One who walks beside you and let His presence be enough to take 

the very next step. You don't need the road to get easier. You need 

to remember who is walking it with you.

No matter how hard life feels or how close to the edge of giving up 

you are right now, take comfort in this truth: Jesus did not promise 

you an easy journey — He promised you His presence on the journey, 

and His presence makes every hard step not just bearable but worth it.

🎧 Listen now and find the strength to keep going in the unshakeable 

truth that Jesus is with you every single step of the way.

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." 

— Matthew 28:20 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – The Weight of Your Sin Was Too Great to Carry — 

So Jesus Carried It to the Cross

In this profound and gospel-centred message, you'll be taken back to 

the most important moment in human history — the cross of Jesus 

Christ. The sin that has been weighing on you, the guilt that has been 

following you, the shame that has made you feel like you can never be 

fully clean or fully free — was never meant to be yours to carry 

forever. Jesus saw the weight of it all, took every single bit of it 

upon Himself, and carried it all the way to the cross so that you 

would never have to carry it again.

This episode encourages you to stop carrying the weight of sin that 

Jesus already paid for and step fully into the forgiveness that His 

death purchased for you. When guilt creeps back in and shame tries to 

tell you that you are still defined by what you have done, that's your 

signal to look to the cross and remember that the punishment for every 

sin you have ever committed was placed on Jesus — not on you. It is 

finished. You are forgiven. You are free.

No matter how heavy the guilt or how great the sin you have been 

carrying right now, take comfort in this truth: He was pierced for 

your transgressions and crushed for your iniquities — and by His 

wounds, you are completely and permanently healed.

🎧 Listen now and receive the life-changing freedom that comes from 

truly understanding what Jesus accomplished for you on the cross.

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our 

iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by 

his wounds we are healed." — Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – You've Been Starting Things Without God — What 

If He Came First in Everything You Did?

In this practical and genuinely challenging message, you'll be reminded 

that putting God first is not just a broad life philosophy to hold in 

theory — it is a moment-by-moment, decision-by-decision, 

action-by-action choice that transforms everything you do. The 

meetings you walk into, the conversations you have, the work you sit 

down to start, the decisions you make throughout the day — all of 

them have the potential to be completely different when God is first 

in them. Not just first in your priorities in general, but first in 

every single thing you actually do.

This episode encourages you to make the practical and daily decision 

to bring God into everything before anything else — not just the big 

decisions or the Sunday mornings, but the ordinary, everyday actions 

that fill your life. When you are about to start a task, make a 

decision, or step into a conversation, that's your signal to pause 

and put God first in that specific moment. Whether you eat or drink 

or whatever you do — all of it can be done for the glory of God.

No matter how ordinary or seemingly small the actions and decisions 

that fill your day right now, take comfort in this truth: nothing done 

for the glory of God is ever truly ordinary — and when He is first in 

everything you do, He transforms even the smallest act into something 

that matters eternally.

🎧 Listen now and be inspired to make a fresh commitment to put God 

first in absolutely everything you do — starting right now, today.

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the 

glory of God." — 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – Your Faith Has Been Scattered — It's Time to 

Focus Every Bit of It Back on God

In this urgent and faith-igniting message, you'll be reminded that 

faith is most powerful when it is focused — and most ineffective when 

it is scattered. The worries, the distractions, the other things that 

have quietly been competing for your trust and attention — whether it 

is your finances, your relationships, your own plans, or the constant 

noise of the world around you — have a way of pulling your faith in 

every direction until it is spread too thin to move the mountains God 

called you to move. It is time to bring it all back into sharp focus 

on the only One who was ever worthy of it.

This episode encourages you to make a deliberate, present-moment 

decision to fix your eyes fully on Jesus and direct every ounce of 

your faith toward God today. When your faith feels weak, scattered, 

or ineffective, that's your signal not that God has moved but that 

your focus has drifted — and it is time to refocus. Fix your eyes. 

Sharpen your faith. Put it fully and completely on God right now.

No matter how scattered or unfocused your faith has felt recently, 

take comfort in this truth: the same Jesus who is the pioneer of your 

faith is also the perfecter of it — and when you fix your eyes on 

Him, He takes your faith from exactly where it is to exactly where 

it needs to be.

🎧 Listen now and make the decision to focus every bit of your faith 

where it has always belonged — completely on God.

"Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." 

— Hebrews 12:2 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – Life Hasn't Been Fair to You — But God Is 

Building Something Greater Out of Every Unfair Moment

In this honest and deeply hope-filled message, you'll be reminded that 

one of the most painful truths about life on this earth is that it is 

not always fair — and that is not God's failure. The times you were 

treated unjustly, the doors that were closed when they should have 

opened, the losses that should never have happened, the pain you did 

nothing to deserve — whether it still feels raw or has been quietly 

aching for years — are real, they are fully seen by God, and He has 

not been indifferent to a single one of them. He has been building.

This episode encourages you to shift your focus from the unfairness 

of what happened to the greatness of what God is building through it. 

When bitterness about life's injustices tries to take root, that's 

your signal to remind yourself that the unfair things you have walked 

through are not just losses to survive — they are materials in the 

hands of a God who is constructing something in your life that the 

fair and easy road could never have produced. The troubles are not 

pointless. They are actively achieving something.

No matter how deeply unfair your situation has felt or how long you 

have been wrestling with the injustice of what you have been through 

right now, take comfort in this truth: your troubles are achieving for 

you an eternal glory that far outweighs every single one of them.

🎧 Listen now and find renewed hope in knowing that God is building 

something far greater out of every unfair moment you have ever walked 

through.

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal 

glory that far outweighs them all." — 2 Corinthians 4:17 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – When Life Makes Sense You Still Need God — 

Here Is Why

In this thoughtful and quietly convicting message, you'll be challenged 

to examine something most people never stop to think about — what does 

it mean to trust God when life is actually going well? It is easy to 

reach for God when everything is falling apart. But what about the 

seasons when things are working, the bills are paid, the family is 

healthy, and life makes sense? The test of truly mature faith is not 

just whether we trust God in the valley — it is whether we trust Him 

just as deeply on the mountaintop.

This episode encourages you to build your trust in God on something 

far more solid than your current circumstances. When life is going 

well and the urgency to lean on God begins to quietly fade, that's 

your signal that this is actually one of the most important moments 

to consciously choose to trust Him. Real trust does not rise and fall 

with your situation — it is rooted in who God is, and who He is 

never changes whether life makes perfect sense or falls completely 

apart.

No matter how well or how difficult things are going in your life 

right now, take comfort in this truth: blessed is the one who trusts 

in the Lord — not just when things are hard, but always, in every 

season, without condition.

🎧 Listen now and be challenged to build a trust in God that stands 

firm and bears fruit in every season — the hard ones and the 

good ones.

"But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is 

in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out 

its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves 

are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never 

fails to bear fruit." — Jeremiah 17:7-8 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – The Loneliness You Feel Is Real — But So Is the 

God Who Is Right Here With You

In this tender and deeply personal message, you'll be reminded that 

the loneliness you have been carrying — whether it shows up in a 

crowded room or in the quiet of an empty house — is one of the most 

painful human experiences there is. But there is a truth that speaks 

directly into the deepest kind of loneliness and has the power to 

change everything: you are not alone. You have never been alone. And 

the God who is with you is not merely present in a distant way — He 

is actively with you, He delights in you, and He rejoices over you 

with singing.

This episode encourages you to let the presence of God become more 

real to you than the feeling of being alone. When loneliness wraps 

itself around you and the silence feels too heavy to carry, that's 

your signal to turn toward the God who is already fully turned toward 

you — who sees you, who knows you, and whose love for you is so deep 

and so personal that He sings over you. You are not forgotten. You 

are not invisible. You are not alone.

No matter how deep the loneliness feels or how long you have been 

carrying it right now, take comfort in this truth: the Lord your God 

is with you, and He rejoices over you with singing — and that is the 

most tender and personal declaration of love in all of Scripture.

🎧 Listen now and let the truth that God is right here with you begin 

to fill every empty and lonely space in your heart.

"The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will 

take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, 

but will rejoice over you with singing." — Zephaniah 3:17 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – The Easy Road Keeps You Comfortable — But the 

Challenging Road Is the One That Changes You

In this perspective-shifting and faith-strengthening message, you'll 

be reminded that the road that has been hardest to walk is almost 

always the one that has done the most to shape who you are. The 

smooth, predictable, easy path produces very little in us — but the 

road that challenges you, tests you, and stretches you beyond what 

feels comfortable produces something in you that no easy path ever 

could: perseverance, character, and a depth of hope that only comes 

from having walked through something hard and found God faithful on 

the other side.

This episode encourages you to stop seeing the challenging road as a 

punishment and start recognising it as the very path God is using to 

change you into who you are meant to become. When the road gets harder 

and every part of you wants to find an easier route, that's your 

signal that the transformation God has planned for your life is 

happening right now, on this road, in this season. Don't bail on the 

road that is building you.

No matter how difficult or relentless the road you are currently on 

feels right now, take comfort in this truth: the challenging road is 

not taking you away from who God called you to be — it is taking you 

directly toward it.

🎧 Listen now and be encouraged to keep walking the challenging road 

that God is using to change everything about you.

"We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering 

produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope." 

— Romans 5:3-4 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – You Don't Know What's Coming — But God Does, 

and It Is Greater Than You Can Imagine

In this joyful and deeply inclusive message, you'll be reminded that 

the great future God has prepared is not reserved for a select few — 

it is for all of you. Whether you are just starting your faith journey 

or have been walking with God for decades, whether life has gone 

according to plan or has taken every wrong turn imaginable, whether 

you feel ready and full of hope or beaten down and barely holding on 

— God's promise of a great future is for you. Every single one of 

you. No exceptions.

This episode encourages you to lift your eyes above your current 

circumstances and dare to believe that what God has ahead for your 

life is greater than anything you have left behind. When the future 

looks uncertain or the past feels disqualifying, that's your signal 

to anchor yourself in the unchanging truth that God is a God of hope 

— and He has never once run out of great plans for the people who 

love Him. Your future in God is not cancelled. It is not diminished. 

It is waiting.

No matter what your life looks like today or how unlikely a great 

future might seem from where you are standing right now, take comfort 

in this truth: there is surely a future hope for you — and in God's 

hands, it will never be cut off.

🎧 Listen now and receive the hope-filled truth that God has a great 

future prepared for every single one of you.

"There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be 

cut off." — Proverbs 23:18 (NIV)

Journey with Jesus – You've Been Waiting a Long Time — But What God 

Is Preparing Is Worth Every Single Day of It

In this deeply encouraging and hope-filling message, you'll be reminded 

that the wait you are in right now is not pointless, not random, and 

not a mistake — it is the preparation time for something so good that 

your eyes have not yet seen it and your mind cannot yet fully imagine 

it. The days that have felt long, the prayers that have felt 

unanswered, the seasons of holding on when giving up seemed easier — 

are not wasted time. They are the prelude to what God has been quietly 

and carefully preparing for you all along.

This episode encourages you to shift your perspective from the length 

of the wait to the magnitude of what is coming. When impatience rises 

and the wait feels longer than you can bear, that's your signal to 

remind yourself that God does not prepare small things slowly — He 

prepares extraordinary things carefully. What He has been building for 

you is worth every single day of the wait. Don't give up right before 

He reveals it.

No matter how long or how difficult the season of waiting feels right 

now, take comfort in this truth: what God has prepared for those who 

love Him is beyond what any eye has seen, any ear has heard, or any 

human mind has ever conceived — and it is coming.

🎧 Listen now and be filled with renewed hope that what God is doing 

in your life is absolutely worth the wait.

"However, as it is written: 'What no eye has seen, what no ear has 

heard, and what no human mind has conceived' — the things God has 

prepared for those who love him." — 1 Corinthians 2:9 (NIV)
