Mark 7:9–23 Jesus continues His conversation with the Pharisees and teachers of the law, showing how human traditions can become excuses for disobeying God. Through the example of Corban, Jesus reveals that something can sound religious while still hiding a heart that is far from Him. Then Jesus turns everyone’s attention from what is outside the body to what is within. In this episode, kids will learn: God’s Word has greater authority than human traditions. A good activity should never become an excuse for disobedience. Biblical “heart” is not the heart organ in our chest and is explained. Our circumstances may reveal anger, envy, pride, or other sin already within us- kid examples used to help them grasp this. Everyone who repents and trusts in Jesus is forgiven and made right with God. Big idea Sin begins within our hearts, and only Jesus can forgive and cleanse our sinful hearts A Note for Parents Because families listen with children of different ages and at different stages of development, Verse 21  has been adapted with young listeners in mind. Parents may wish to read the complete passage below and explain its terms in the way they believe is most appropriate for their family: “For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” —Mark 7:21–23 We LOVE Real Cool History for Kids podcast and know you will too! Check it out!

Send us Fan MailSamuel has died, and King Saul is frightened. The Philistines are ready for battle, but Saul does not know what to do. He tries to pray, but after years of ignoring God’s voice and disobeying His commands, Saul receives no answer. Desperate and afraid, Saul makes a terrible choice: he disguises himself and visits a witch near Endor, asking her to call up Samuel.But the voice Saul hears is not really Samuel. It is a deception meant to confuse and frighten him. Saul learns that his kingdom will be given to David and that the battle ahead will end in tragedy. This serious story reminds kids that listening to God matters, obedience matters, and we should never look for answers from Satan’s servants when God has already shown us the right way.Talk about it:Why was Saul afraid after Samuel died?What had Saul done that made it harder for him to hear God’s voice?Why was it wrong for Saul to visit the witch of Endor?How can we listen to God and obey Him before we feel confused or afraid?Who can help you make wise choices when you do not know what to do?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe’d love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy’s Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043

Today, we delve into the insights from a recent conversation with Tim Johnson, a seasoned worship leader from Crosslife Church in Orlando, who has been serving in ministry for over 25 years. He shares his journey and the importance of intentional song selection in worship services.Choosing songs for worship is not as simple as picking favorites or following trends. Tim emphasizes the need for worship leaders to avoid the trap of "drag and drop" song selection. Instead, each song should be carefully chosen to reflect the theology and message being conveyed. This not only enhances the worship experience but also shapes the congregation's understanding of faith and doctrine.Tim's journey into creating an online presence through  @WorshipLeaderHQ stemmed from a desire to connect with fellow worship leaders and share resources. He recognized a gap in the available support and encouragement for worship leaders facing similar challenges. By offering devotionals and practical advice, he aims to inspire others to lead with confidence and purpose.Intentional song selection is vital for effective worship leadership. By focusing on the theological depth of songs and fostering a supportive community among worship leaders, we can enhance the worship experience for congregations everywhere. Tim Johnson's insights remind us that worship is not merely a performance but a profound expression of faith that shapes our understanding of God.Tim has some great resources for worship leaders that can be found at www.worshipleaderhq.com

As moms, it can be easy to confuse parenting with controlling. We want our children to make wise choices, succeed, and avoid pain. But fear can quickly turn our desire to help into nagging, manipulation, or control. Sarah Stephens joins me to talk about what it looks like to move from controlling our children to mentoring, discipling, guiding, and loving them well.Sarah shares how God has taught her that our calling is not to control outcomes, but to remain faithful to the process. We talk about seeking wisdom from above, listening for God’s voice, recognizing the difference between conviction and condemnation, and learning to entrust our children and their choices to God.In this episode, we talk about: Why control is often motivated by fear Learning to focus on the process, not the outcome How to know when to speak up—and when to let something go The only control we’re actually called to have: self-control Seeking God’s wisdom instead of simply collecting more information Learning to recognize God’s voice How comparison can steal a mom’s peace Asking, “Can my child recover from this?” Parenting, guiding, and loving our children even when we disagree Praying for our children and leaving it at the feet of Jesus  What it looks like to say, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done” Connect with Sarah Stephens:  Website: Sarah Stephens - Equipping Women for Every Day  Instagram: Sarah Tunstall Stephens (@sstephenstx) Facebook: Sarah Tunstall Stephens Links Mentioned:  Boundaries: By Dr. Henry Cloud and  John Townsend Have a New Teenager by Friday: By  Dr. Kevin Leman   Related Episodes: Inner Healing Prayer :: Jennifer Barnett [Ep 323] How Parents Can Equip Kids to Find Freedom, Healing, and Identity in Christ :: Jennifer Barnett [Ep 577] How to Hear God’s Voice: Freedom Prayer and Abiding in Christ with Jennifer Barnett [Ep 576] Featured Sponsors:  Lola Blankets: For a limited time, our listeners can get 40% OFF select Lola Blankets products with code [DMA] at checkout.

In this week’s episode of Faith for Normal People, Pete and Jared talk with writer and scholar Grace Hamman about Julian of Norwich, her mystical visions, and her radically intimate understanding of God’s love. They explore Julian’s depiction of Jesus as a mother, her approach to suffering and hope in the aftermath of the Black Death, and her insistence that “all shall be well” is not a simplistic promise that everything will turn out fine, but a hard-won hope in the midst of suffering. They also consider what Julian’s example can teach those navigating deconstruction, questions of authority, and the tension between personal spiritual experience and institutional tradition, inviting listeners to embrace a more nuanced way of engaging faith, Scripture, and the wisdom of the past.

God sees the woman who is aching for a child. He sees her in the middle of the night, in the quiet places where the longing is too heavy to carry out loud, in the vulnerable late-night moments when words finally escape onto a page or a screen because they have nowhere else to go. He saw Hannah weeping in the Temple in such a state of fervor that the priest mistook her for drunk. He saw Sarah, whose hope had twisted into bitter laughter at what seemed like an impossible promise. And in perhaps some of the most life-giving words in all of Scripture, the answer to years of waiting is recorded simply and powerfully: the Lord remembered her. That phrase — the Lord remembered her — is not a statement about forgetfulness corrected. It is a declaration of divine attentiveness meeting its appointed moment. Every child born to these praying, waiting, weeping women held a significant and timely role in God's larger plan for humanity. Which means the waiting was never about withholding. It was about the exact moment in history when that life would be needed in the world. For any woman reading today who is whispering prayers for a child — whether through infertility, loss, adoption's long road, or any other form of longing — this episode carries the same message God sent to a friend through a middle-of-the-night whisper: He sees you. He has not forgotten you. And in His timing, in His way, and in His goodness, He will remember you. Bible Verse "The Lord remembered her plea."— 1 Samuel 1:19, NIV Ponder Today God sees the longing that is too tender to say out loud. Hannah's prayer was so deeply private and fervent that it was misread entirely by those around her. God saw what no one else could. He sees what you are carrying right now in exactly the same way. The Lord remembered her — and He remembers you. This is not a statement about God forgetting and then correcting Himself. It is a declaration of His perfect attentiveness meeting its appointed moment. He has not overlooked your longing. The waiting was not withholding — it was preparation for a purpose. Every child born to these praying women held a significant role in God's larger story. The delay was not indifference. It was divine timing working toward something that could only arrive at the right moment. The experience of waiting reshapes us in ways that fulfillment alone cannot. Each of the women in Scripture who longed for a child emerged from the waiting with a deeper, more intimate knowledge of God. The painful wait was also a profound encounter with their Creator. If you are walking alongside someone in this kind of longing, your role matters. The prayer in this episode includes those who love someone in the waiting. Ask God for the wisdom and sensitivity to be a genuine source of encouragement rather than unintentional pain. A Prayer for You Today Father God, we thank You for the true and remarkable accounts in Your Word of devoted women who sought You for a child. Lord, we know that today there are women who relate to Hannah, Sarah, Elizabeth, and countless others in the same way. We pray for their hearts in this moment — that they would be still before You and listen with softened hearts for what You want to say and do in their lives. Lord, if someone reading this is walking alongside another with such a yearning, equip them with wisdom and compassion to truly encourage her. We thank You that just as You remembered Hannah, You remember Your daughters today. In Jesus' holy name, Amen. Want More? Sign up for our free newsletter, The Good Word, for weekly biblical wisdom

This episode is part 18 in a study of the book of Exodus. Moses has been up on the mountain of God for 40 days, and the people decide he is not coming back, so they craft a golden calf and start worshiping it. Not a good idea.

Israel

Scripture: Mark 7:1–8, Romans 13 The Pharisees and teachers of the law looked devoted to God. They knew Scripture, followed many religious traditions, and appeared very obedient. But when they criticized Jesus’ disciples for eating without performing a ceremonial washing, Jesus revealed what was truly happening beneath their outward appearance: they honored God with their words, but their hearts were far from Him. In this episode, children will learn : 1. That good-looking actions do not always flow from a heart that loves God. 2. We’ll explore the difference between real fruit and “pretend fruit” 3. Discover how God’s commands show us what love looks like. 4. Remember that we obey God because He loved us first—not to earn His love or impress others. 5.

Repentance has a reputation problem. For many people, the word carries a weight of shame, punishment, and finger-pointing that makes it something to avoid rather than something to run toward. But that understanding misses the heart of what repentance actually is — one of the most beautiful, purifying, and sacred practices available in the daily walk with Jesus. First John 1:9 is a promise, not a threat: if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness. God's convictions are not condemnation. They are truth pressed on the heart by a Holy Spirit who loves us and wants nothing standing between us and the Father. When we respond to those convictions with transparency and humility, condemnation has nowhere to land. David modeled this in Psalm 51, approaching God with uninhibited honesty about his sin — not cowering under shame, but opening himself fully to the mercy he knew was available. The picture this episode offers is simple and freeing: a child jumping in the car after school and immediately announcing a failed math test — not to be lectured, but because honesty with a loving parent opens the door to help rather than hiding the problem. That is exactly how our Heavenly Father deals with us. When we are open about our failures and seek His wisdom, He steps right in. We are not berated for failing. We are forgiven and made free, and in that freedom, we genuinely want to do better. Bible Verse "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."— 1 John 1:9, NIV Ponder Today Repentance is an open invitation from a loving Savior, not a punishment from an angry God. When we understand it correctly, we stop avoiding it and start running toward it — because on the other side of honest confession is freedom, forgiveness, and restored fellowship. God's convictions are His truths pressed on our hearts. The Holy Spirit prompts us to address what hinders our faith not to humiliate us but because He loves us and wants nothing standing between us and the Father. Transparency with God removes the power of condemnation. David did not approach God with carefully managed confession. He came with uninhibited honesty, and in that openness, condemnation immediately fell away. Hiding sin gives it power. Confessing it removes it. Repentance practiced regularly keeps the heart soft and responsive. Whether it is a daily practice or something we return to after a longer season of resistance, the throne room is always open. God's mercies are new every morning and His grace is always greater than our greatest failure. Forgiveness freely received should be freely extended. One of the natural outcomes of genuine repentance is a growing capacity for grace toward others. Remembering how generously we have been forgiven shapes how generously we forgive. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, thank You that because of Jesus I can come before You freely, knowing I will find mercy instead of condemnation. Your Word promises that if I confess my sins, You are faithful and just to forgive and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Please search my heart today. Shine Your light into every hidden place and reveal any attitude, habit, or thought that does not honor You. Help me respond to the gentle conviction of Your Holy Spirit with humility and honesty. Create in me a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Teach me to practice repentance as a daily act of worship and response to Your loving guidance. Keep my heart soft, teachable, and quick to respond whenever You correct me. Thank You for Your en

When we experience intense pain and hardship, our view of God can shrink.  When circumstances overwhelm us, prayers seem unanswered and our suffering endures for any length of time, we may fear God isn't actually big enough to handle what we’re facing, or loving enough to do something about it. Singer, songwriter and author Tim Timmons, whose story is shared in MercyMe's Imagine 2, knows what it means to live with those types of questions. After receiving an incurable cancer diagnosis and being given five years to live more than two decades ago, Tim has learned to bring his grief, questions and uncertainty honestly to God. In this episode, Tim and Jennifer discuss what it looks like to trust a God who is bigger than our understanding and meet Him within the tension of pain and hope. They explore the intimacy that can develop through honest wrestling, why acknowledging grief doesn’t diminish faith and how shifting from “working for God” to joining Him can change the way we approach each day. Wherever life feels confusing or painfully unresolved, God remains present, attentive and at work.
