In The Throne Revealed, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to John’s vision in Revelation to lift believers above the troubles of this world and fix their hearts on the eternal Kingdom of God. The risen Jesus Christ reigns from Heaven, intercedes for His people, and prepares an eternal home for all who are redeemed by His blood.

Episode Description:
When the world feels unstable, Scripture calls believers to look higher—to the throne of God.

In this powerful message, Dr. Michael Youssef explores John’s heavenly vision in Revelation, where the glory, holiness, and sovereign authority of God are revealed. Jesus Christ reigns as our risen Lord and High Priest, interceding for His people and preparing the eternal future He has promised.

The troubles of this world are temporary. God’s Kingdom is eternal.

This episode calls believers to:

• Repent of earthly obsession,
• Set their minds on things above,
• Trust the sovereign reign of Jesus Christ,
• Remember Christ’s ongoing intercession,
• Intercede for those who are lost,
• Live faithfully while awaiting His return.

A new heaven and a new earth are coming. Until then, God’s people are called to live with their eyes on the throne and their hope firmly fixed on Christ.

Scripture Focus: Revelation 4; Revelation 5; Revelation 21; Revelation 22

Money stress rarely stays confined to a spreadsheet. It can shape a home's atmosphere, affect a marriage, and influence how children think about money long after they’ve grown up.

That’s one reason Crystal Paine, creator of MoneySavingMom.com and author of The Seven Habits of Financially Healthy Women, believes financial health is about far more than simply earning more or getting all the numbers right.

In fact, when Crystal surveyed 4,000 women about their relationship with money, one theme surfaced again and again: fear. Financial stress often left women feeling isolated, ashamed, or worried about whether they were doing enough for their families.

But healthy financial habits don’t require a perfect income or a perfect financial situation. They begin with honesty, intentionality, and small choices made consistently over time.

It’s easy to define financial health by visible milestones: being debt-free, having a large savings account, earning a certain income, or reaching some other financial goal.

Those can certainly be worthwhile goals. But Crystal encourages a broader perspective. Financial health is about learning to manage money with purpose rather than fear.

Money is a tool. And whether you have a lot or a little, you can make thoughtful decisions about how you use what has been entrusted to you. Small habits practiced consistently can gradually change the direction of your finances.

Sometimes those decisions seem almost insignificant. Bringing water from home instead of buying a bottle while you’re out won’t transform your finances overnight. Neither will skipping one unnecessary purchase or setting aside a few dollars.

But repeated choices add up. That principle matters not only for your finances but also for the example you set for your children.

Parents teach their children about money whether they realize it or not.

Crystal remembers explaining financial decisions to her children when they were young—why the family paid cash, why they chose not to buy certain things, and why they handled money the way they did.

Years later, she has watched her older children begin making some of those same choices for themselves.

Children notice more than we sometimes realize. They observe whether conversations about money create panic or peace. They see whether spending is impulsive or purposeful. They notice generosity, sacrifice, contentment, and self-control.

In many ways, more is caught than taught.

That doesn’t mean parents need to manage money perfectly. It means we should recognize that our everyday financial decisions are helping shape the next generation’s understanding of money.

Of course, not everyone grew up with a healthy financial example.

Some people learned discipline and generosity from their parents. Others grew up around financial conflict, scarcity, overspending, anxiety, or complete silence about money.

Those experiences can continue influencing us as adults without our realizing it.

Crystal encourages people to look back and ask: What did I learn about money growing up? What conversations did my family have? What behaviors were

Many people feel they just can’t function in the morning without their cup of coffee. But, long ago, coffee met with grumpy, nearly global opposition for hundreds of years! (They were grumpy ‘cause that hadn’t had their coffee.) People oppose lots of things, but then come to embrace them warmly. And today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out how we need to realize that people need the message we share, and we need to find the courage to share it even in the face of opposition.

Middle school has never been easy, but today’s culture pushes kids out of childhood faster than ever.

The post Protecting Your Middle Schooler During Those Turbulent Years appeared first on Dr. James Dobson Family Institute.

Why does the next generation seem so radically different, and why are traditional church approaches falling flat? Aaron Pierce takes you behind the scenes of today’s global youth culture to expose the hidden forces shaping how our kids and grandkids think. From the illusion of "my truth" to the silent epidemic of loneliness, this conversation reveals the deep emotional undercurrents driving their skepticism. If you want to understand the heartbeat of today's youth and uncover the unexpected desires they are secretly longing to fulfill, you cannot afford to miss this.
