In The Moment

What happens when God doesn’t show you the whole plan?In this first episode of Living In The Moment, Rev. Ricky Allen shares a simple parable about a lantern keeper who learns that he doesn’t need to see the entire mountain trail. He only needs enough light for the next step.Drawing from Psalm 119:105, this short devotional reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers. It is about trusting God with today’s decisions and walking faithfully with the light He provides.If you’ve been anxious about the future, waiting for direction, or wondering what comes next, this three-minute devotional will encourage you to focus on the step God has placed before you right now.Scripture: Psalm 119:105 (NIV)“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”Subscribe and join us every Wednesday for a brief dose of biblical encouragement designed to help you live fully in the moment with Christ.#ChristianPodcast, #DailyDevotional, #LivingInTheMoment, #FaithOverFear, #Psalm119105, #BibleDevotional, #ChristianEncouragement, #TrustGod, #WalkByFaith

In this Father’s Day edition of In The Moment, Rev. Ricky C. Allen Jr. explores the powerful message of 3 John 1:1-4 and the often-overlooked theme of spiritual fatherhood.The Apostle John reveals that true fatherhood extends beyond biology. Spiritual fathers connect with others in the truth, cover them in prayer, and find their greatest joy in seeing lives transformed by Christ. Through John’s relationship with Gaius, we discover that a godly legacy is not measured by wealth, accomplishments, or recognition, but by faithfulness to God’s truth.Join us as we examine how friendship in the truth, big-picture prayer, and celebrating spiritual growth can shape our families, churches, and communities. Whether you are a father, grandfather, mentor, pastor, teacher, or someone who has invested in the life of another believer, this message will challenge and encourage you to leave a legacy that points people toward Jesus Christ.There is still no greater joy than hearing that our children are walking in the truth.#FathersDaySermon, #SpiritualFatherhood, #3John, #ChristianPodcast, #InTheMoment, #BiblicalFatherhood, #FaithInAction, #WalkInTheTruth, #ChristianLiving, #BibleTeaching, #FaithfulLeadership, #ChristianMen, #Discipleship

Pastor Rick continues through Habbakuk 2.

Habakkuk is still waiting for answers, and God is still speaking. In Part 5 of our series, we explore Habakkuk 2:5-10 and discover what God sees when He looks at Babylon. While the world saw power, wealth, and military success, God saw greed, pride, injustice, and a coming downfall.Join Pastor Rick as he examines three powerful truths from this passage: When Success Becomes a Trap, What Goes Around Comes Around, and You Can’t Build Security on Sin. If you’ve ever wondered why God allows wickedness to prosper for a season, this message offers hope and a reminder that God’s justice is never absent, even when it seems delayed. #GodsWord #DailyFaith #ChristianEncouragement #BibleMessage #SundaySermon #ScriptureStudy #WalkingByFaith #FaithTalk #BiblicalTruth #HopeAndFaith #TrustTheLord #ChristianInspiration #PodcastLife #JesusSaves #BiblePodcast

In Learning To Stay Encouraged from Luke 24:36–49, we step into that room with the disciples where fear was high, hope felt distant, and uncertainty filled the air. Then Jesus showed up. Not with pressure, not with criticism, but with peace.Visit https://get-prayer.com for your Free Prayer Journals! We talk about how encouragement isn’t about everything changing overnight. It’s about recognizing that Jesus is still present, still speaking, and still working even when we don’t fully understand what’s happening.If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down, this message is for you. You’ll be reminded that you’re not alone, your story isn’t over, and God is still moving in your life right now.Stay with it. Stay encouraged.#InTheMoment #StayEncouraged #Luke24 #ChristianPodcast #FaithInHardTimes #HopeInJesus #SpiritualEncouragement #KeepGoing #FaithOverFear #BibleTeaching

Jesus knew the path, but the people did not. He still kept going.

In this message, “The Leftovers Matter,” Pastor Rick explores the surprising moment after Jesus feeds the five thousand in John 6:11–13 (KJV). When the miracle was finished and everyone had eaten, Jesus gave an unexpected command: “Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.”Why would Jesus care about the leftovers after such a powerful miracle? Because in God’s kingdom, nothing is wasted. Not the small pieces, not the overlooked moments, and not the victories that seem incomplete. This message reminds us that God is still working in what remains. Sometimes the blessing is not just in the miracle itself, but in what God gathers afterward.—-#ChristianPodcast, #BibleTeaching, #John6, #FaithMessage, #SundaySermon, #KJV, #JesusMiracles, #BibleStudy, #ChristianFaith, #ChurchSermon, #FaithInAction, #GodsProvision, #NothingIsWasted, #BiblicalTruth, #ChristianEncouragement

There is a particular kind of darkness that catches you off guard — not the darkness of night, which you expect and prepare for, but the darkness of a familiar path that has suddenly gone strange. Imagine a hiker on a trail walked a hundred times.Who do you trust?#TrustGod #SundaySermon #motivation #Inspire #JesusisKing #Sunday

God loved YOU first. In all hour mess you were still saved by Jesus Christ. That’s real love. Find out why in this episode. #love #JesusisLord #TrustGod #Sunday

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏼 From Flood Stage to Firm Ground is a message about what happens when faith stops waiting and starts moving. In this episode of In the Moment, Rev. Allen walks through Joshua 3:14 and reminds us that God often calls His people to step forward while the waters are still high. ➡️The Jordan did not part when Israel stood still. It moved when they broke camp and followed the presence of God into uncertainty. This conversation is for anyone standing at the edge of something unfamiliar, wondering if obedience is worth the risk. Faith is not the absence of fear. It is choosing to move while trusting that God is already ahead of you. Listen in and reflect on what it means to leave flood stage behind and walk toward firm ground.#IntheMoment, #FromFloodStageToFirmGround, #Joshua3, #FaithInAction, #WalkingByFaith, #ChristianPodcast, #BibleTeaching, #TrustGod, #Obedience, #HopeInTheStorm, #SpiritualGrowth

Sometimes the tears we cry aren’t the end, they’re the beginning of something God is changing within us. In Tears of Transformation, Pastor Rick unpacks the powerful message of Psalm 30, where David moves from heartbreak to hallelujah. Through moments of despair, repentance, and renewal, we see how God takes our sackcloth, the signs of sorrow, and replaces them with garments of joy.This episode is a heartfelt reminder that no tear is wasted in God’s hands. Whether you’re in the valley or on the climb, Tears of Transformation will help you see that what breaks you today can become the very thing that builds your praise tomorrow.#sermon #psalm #happiness #behappy

As we step into the last stretch of 2025, the holiday season brings more than just gatherings and decorations. It brings reflection and honest faith conversations about where we’ve been and where God is leading us next. For some, this time of year is filled with laughter, family, and joy. For others, it reopens wounds that never quite healed. In this heartfelt episode, Pastor Rick Allen Jr. invites listeners to pull up a chair and take part in “A Testimony for the Table,” drawn from Psalm 9:1–2 (NIV):“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.”What does it mean to bring a real testimony to your table this holiday season? Not a rehearsed one, but a testimony that’s full of truth, faith, and thanksgiving? Pastor Rick explores what it looks like to share your testimony at the dinner table, to let your story of struggle and strength point back to Jesus Christ. This episode speaks to those who’ve carried burdens through the year, reminding them that the same God who walked them through pain is preparing a harvest of joy.Through personal reflection and practical encouragement, Pastor Rick shows that even in the hardest seasons, faith grows stronger. Maybe you’ve been through moments that left you questioning. Maybe you’ve struggled to see God’s hand in the middle of it all. Yet even now, His Word calls us to give thanks with all our heart, to tell of His wonderful deeds, and to rejoice in His name.In this Christian podcast episode, you’ll learn how to bring three things to your table this holiday season: 1. A Full Heart – True thanksgiving begins when we stop rushing and start recognizing the blessings around us. When we speak from a full heart, our stories turn from worry into worship. 2. A Bold Voice – Someone at your table needs to hear that God still works miracles. Sharing your story isn’t bragging, it’s giving God the credit. This is how faith becomes contagious around the family dinner table. 3. A Joyful Spirit – Real joy doesn’t mean everything is perfect. It means that even in brokenness, God is still good. A joyful testimony at the dinner table can lift hearts and remind others that hope still has a seat.This holiday season faith conversation is for anyone who has ever sat quietly while their heart was heavy, for anyone who has felt the ache of silence when asked, “Are you okay?” It’s for the one who has walked through pain and is still standing because of God’s grace. The best testimonies aren’t polished; they’re personal.Pastor Rick reminds us that joy is not denial. It is determination. When we share our story through the lens of Christ’s victory, hope returns to our homes and hearts. As you gather around your table this Thanksgiving and Christmas season, bring a testimony that’s full, bold, and joyful. Because when the name of the Lord is lifted high, hearts are healed, faith is restored, and someone listening begins to believe again.Tune in to In The Moment for “A Testimony for the Table,” a conversation about sharing your faith, telling your story, and finding joy through Christ this season.🎧 Listen Now#FaithPodcast #ChristianEncouragement #InTheMoment #Testimony #Psalm9 #ThankfulHeart #HolidayFaith #ChristianPodcast #holidayseason #Thanksgiving #Fyp #Thankful #Holidays #Gratitude #Motivational

True freedom doesn’t boast—it bows. This heartfelt message rooted in Micah 6 challenges the performance mindset and invites us back to the core of what God desires: justice, mercy, and humble surrender. Real freedom isn’t found in entitlement—it’s discovered in a relationship with Jesus Christ. Through repentance and faith, we walk not in what we’ve earned but in what He’s freely given.#WalkHumbly #FaithOverPerformance #Micah6 #FreedomInChrist #GospelTruth #JesusOverEverything #ActJustlyLoveMercy #KingdomLiving #SurrenderNotStriving #ChristianPodcast
