What to Do When You Are Facing Difficult Times

from Reformed Thinking Hosted by Edison Wu

Deep Dive into God's Promises for Every Day by Jack Countryman - What to Do When You Are... The book God's Promises for Every Day by Jack Countryman is a topical compilation of biblical scriptures designed to guide and encourage readers through various life situations. The content is organized under thematic headings that address specific emotional and spiritual states, offering comfort and direction grounded in both the Old and New Testaments. When individuals are afraid, the compilation presents verses emphasizing that God has given believers a spirit of power, love, and self-control rather than fear. Scriptures such as Psalm 91 and Romans 8 remind readers of God's protection, the perfect love that casts out fear, and the assurance that nothing can separate believers from God's love. For those in doubt about themselves, the passages recommend prayer, gratitude, and focusing on honorable, pure thoughts. These verses encourage believers to trust in the Lord rather than their own understanding, while modeling kindness, honesty, and active love in daily life. When feeling frantic and stressed, the text highlights the fruit of the Spirit, which includes peace and patience. Readers are urged to wait quietly for the Lord's help, hold onto their courage, and find strength in the scriptures, which teach patience and provide hope during difficult times. For the unhappy, the book promises true peace, joy, and divine strength during trials. Scriptures reassure readers that God's plans are higher than human ways and that spiritual joy ultimately comes to those who trust in His grace. Finally, for those walking far from God or feeling uncertain, the collection calls for repentance, confession, and a return to God's commandments. It stresses that God's words are perfect, His promises are completely reliable, and faith grows through hearing the good news of Christ. This helps readers maintain persistent faith and hope.

Prophetic Foolishness Osagie & Krys We answer the questions that aren't asked enough! Some things are foolish, and some are prophetic. We hope to engage with the people and inspire deeper thinking about societal norms. Women with Dyslexia Podcast: Living the Gospel with Power Hope B This podcast is designed for women with dyslexia who believe that God can do something new. The Apostle Paul says that we are transformed by renewing our minds to do what pleases the LORD, which is His will. When our minds are renewed (neuroscientists call this neuroplasticity), we are transformed. This podcast will contain short biblical messages designed to replace our old negative thinking with the truth found in God’s word. It is devoted to encouraging and inspiring adult women with dyslexia by listening to biblical truths that will uplift and challenge them to find a place for dyslexia in their lives and let Christ take center stage of their lives. To benefit from these short yet powerful messages, I recommend making these podcasts part of your morning and evening time with the Lord. Thank you for joining me. Wild Olive Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird The Wild Olive Podcast brings you game-changing conversations about literature, culture, and the Bible. With co-hosts Jeanne Petrolle and Jennifer Bird, Wild Olive serves up idea-feasts: tasty insights about biblical texts and contemporary (or classic!) literature, with generous side-portions of cultural commentary and hearty laughter. One literature professor + one biblical studies professor = uncontrolled, out-of-bounds, untamed conversation: ideal listening for the post-evangelical, the spiritual-but-not-religious, the Bible-curious secularist, the free-thinking religionist, and the literary-but-not-stodgy! New episodes every other Friday!
