“False evidence may appear real, but when God says He’s your helper, He means it — so don’t worry, He’s got you.”

--Sue

In this powerful and transparent message, Sue speaks directly to the heart of anyone struggling with anxiety, relational tension, or personal betrayal. Drawing from Matthew 6 and her own lived experience, she emphasizes that worry often comes disguised as false evidence — fear that looks real but has no true power when we belong to God. From reconciling with loved ones to navigating the pain of marital challenges, she gently leads us to the truth that God is not only aware of what we’re going through — He’s right there with us in it. No matter how deep the storm or how complicated the emotions, there is one constant: God’s presence, God’s timing, and God’s grace. This episode is an invitation to release the weight, trust the process, and remember — He’s got you.

What's your "Zimbabwe"? Dr. Mary Ritz, founder of Channel, takes us on a profound journey from her calling to serve the youth in her homeland of Zimbabwe—a nation facing deep political, economic, and spiritual crises—to a personal challenge for each of us. She vividly describes the plight of a generation that has lost its identity and the manipulative forces at play, even within the church.

Through her experiences establishing Channel, an organization dedicated to grounding young Zimbabweans in Christian principles, servant leadership, and personal development (anchored in Acts 17:28), Dr. Ritz uncovers universal truths. She uses the metaphor of "Zimbabwe" to ask listeners: Where is the chaos and complexity in your own life that God is calling you to step into? Are you playing it safe, concerned about "name tags," or do you feel unqualified for the task?

This message is a powerful call to find your purpose amidst the turmoil, trust that God qualifies those He calls (2 Corinthians 12:9), and persevere in your God-given assignment with your identity firmly rooted in Jesus Christ.

(1) We could spend the rest of our lives and never know all of God’s attributes. But similarly we could never know all about our parents, our spouses, or our children EITHER. But we can know enough about them to trust them, be comfortable and secure with them, and love them. The same is true regarding the God of the Bible.

(2) When Mortimer J. Adler, editor of the “Great Books of the Western World,” was asked why the “God” section of the books was the largest section, he observed that it’s because more IMPLICATIONS flow from that SUBJECT of God than from any other subject.

(3) The best description of God is the name Yahweh — I AM WHO I AM. That’s the name God gave to Moses at the Burning Bush in Exodus 3:13-14. Yahweh is usually translated Jehovah or LORD with all caps. He is totally SELF-AWARE — “I AM.” He is totally MORAL — “I ought.”

(4) In the United States early in the 20th century, the Swiss theologian Karl Barth was asked during a seminar: “What is the MOST PROFOUND THING you have learned in your study of theology?” Barth thought for a moment and then replied, “Jesus LOVES me, this I know, for the Bible tells me so.”

(5) John Calvin used another ANALOGY than that of Barth. Calvin said that God speaks to us in a kind of “lisps.” But I prefer to use the words “baby talk.” Parents engage in baby talk when addressing their infant children, so God, in order to communicate with us mortals must CONDESCEND to speak to us in a fashion that is somewhat like baby talk. No human being has the ability to understand God EXHAUSTIVELY. There is a built-in BARRIER that prohibits a TOTAL, COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING of God. God is infinite; we are finite. Therein lies the difficulty.

(6) Medieval theologians had a phrase that became an AXIOM for all subsequent theological study: “The finite cannot grasp the infinite.” Nothing is more OBVIOUS than that an infinite object cannot be SQUEEZED into the finite space of a human mind.

(7) This axiom conveys an important doctrine of orthodox Christianity, namely the doctrine of the “incomprehensibility of God.”

(8) In his book God’s Words: Studies of Key Bible Themes J. I. Packer writes, “Reveal is a PICTURE WORD, and the picture is of God UNVEILING — God showing us things which were previously HIDDEN from us, God DISCLOSES them to us. He brings things into the OPEN which before were out of our SIGHT. God causing and enabling us to SEE what hitherto we could not see by taking us into His confidence and sharing His SECRETS with us. He finds us IGNORANT, and gives us KNOWLEDGE. That is what revelation means.”

(9) Packer continues, “What does God reveal? Older Protestant theologians replied: truths about Himself which could not otherwise have known. Modern Protestant theologians, on the whole, prefer to say simply: God reveals HIMSELF. But these 2 answers are COMPLEMENTARY, not CONTRADICTORY. It is true that revelation is essentially SELF-DISCLOSURE on God’s part, and that its goal is to make men ‘know the Lord’. . . . But how does God make Himself known to us? In the same way in which you would make yourself known to me, or I to you: by TALKING. . . . Persons cannot be known unless in some way they SPEAK to reveal themselves.”

This is Episode 226.

In this sobering teaching, Servant Marcia Carty from Heaven on Earth Ministries of Jesus Christ sounds an urgent alarm. Comparing contemporary society—rife with sexual immorality, murder, and deceit—to the days of Noah, she asks: will we be caught in God's impending wrath?

Drawing from Isaiah 8 and 9, Servant Carty warns against seeking guidance from worldly sources in times of confusion, emphasizing that true light and direction come only through God's Word and Jesus Christ, the "Wonderful Counselor." She highlights how pride and arrogance, like that of ancient Israel and, she suggests, modern nations, provoke divine judgment.

The message then transitions to the New Testament, particularly 1 Thessalonians, detailing God's will for our sanctification and the promise of the Rapture—a deliverance for believers from the appointed wrath. The teaching culminates with a stark look at Revelation 15 and 16, vividly describing the seven bowls of God's complete wrath poured out upon an unrepentant world.

This episode is a powerful call to examine our lives, embrace holiness, and secure our salvation through Jesus Christ, the only escape from the wrath to come.
