    Ep 39. - Don’t Force the Fruit; Cultivate the Root

    In this episode of The Little Things, we discover that spiritual fruit isn’t something we force—it’s something God produces when we stay rooted in Him. Ephesians 5 reveals that as we walk in the light, His goodness, righteousness, and truth naturally become visible in our lives. When we stop striving and start cultivating our relationship with Christ, real transformation and authentic fruit will follow.

    Ep. 38 - From Memory to Mouth; How Praise Is Born

    In this episode of The Little Things, we uncover the powerful process of how praise is formed—from remembering God’s goodness to declaring it boldly. Psalm 77 reveals that what begins in memory, grows through meditation, and ultimately flows out as testimony that impacts others. When we intentionally recall and speak what God has done, our praise not only strengthens us but becomes a witness that brings hope to those around us.

    Ep. - Soar, Run, Walk; Finding Strength in Every Season

    In this episode of The Little Things, we discover how waiting on God is not passive—but a powerful posture of faith, hope, and trust. Isaiah 40 reveals that when we exchange our strength for His, we gain the ability to soar above storms, endure demanding seasons, and walk faithfully through everyday life. No matter the season you're in, God provides the strength you need to keep moving forward.

    Ep. 36 - From Drops to Downpour

    In this episode of The Little Things, we discover how small, consistent acts of faith can lead to life-changing breakthroughs. Just like vapor rises to produce rain, what we offer to God—our praise, prayer, and commitment—determines what flows back into our lives. When we stop settling for less and give God our best, He multiplies it into abundance and blessing.

    Ep. 35 - The Wheelbarrow Moment: Do You Believe… or Do You Trust

    In this episode of The Little Things, we explore the powerful difference between believing in God and truly trusting Him. Through real-life illustrations like the “wheelbarrow moment,” we see that faith is only complete when it leads to action and full dependence on God. When we move beyond belief and place our trust in Him, we find peace, direction, and victory in every situation.

  6. 35

    Ep. 34 - From Gratitude to Global Witness: The Power of Giving Thanks

    In this episode of The Little Things, we explore how true thanksgiving goes beyond feeling grateful—it must be expressed and made known. Psalm 105:1 reveals a powerful progression: give thanks, call upon God, and boldly declare His works so others can know Him. When gratitude becomes public, it turns into a testimony that inspires faith and points others to Jesus.

  7. 34

    Ep. 33 - Commitment, The Hidden Key to Mental Clarity

    In this episode of The Little Things, we uncover how true mental clarity comes not from control, but from commitment to God. Proverbs 16:3 reveals that when we roll our works onto the Lord, He establishes our thoughts, bringing stability, peace, and direction. Instead of waiting for certainty, we are called to act in faith—trusting that obedience will lead to clarity.

    Ep. 31 - From Knowing to Freedom, When Truth Does More Than Just Inform

    In this episode of The Little Things, we explore Jesus’ powerful promise in John 8:31–36 that truth does more than inform—it transforms. Sin may create bondage, but when we truly know and obey God’s Word, Jesus changes our condition from servant to son and from captivity to liberty. Real freedom is found in abiding in Christ, standing firm in His truth, and living daily in the liberty He provides.

    Ep 29 - From Chaos to Calm: The Biblical Cure for Fear

    This episode teaches that fear is not from God and can be overcome through the three spiritual gifts He provides: power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). God’s power gives us divine strength, His love drives out fear, and a sound mind brings clarity, discipline, and peace in chaotic situations. When believers apply God’s Word through faith and prayer, chaos gives way to calm and fear is replaced with confidence and victory.

  12. 29

    Ep. 28 - The Little Things That Lift Heavy Burdens

    This episode calls us to shift from self-focus to caring for others by “looking on the things of others” (Philippians 2:4). It explains practical, biblical ways to encourage people—strengthening, building courage, comforting the hurting, helping carry heavy burdens, and offering loving exhortation. By choosing to encourage others in small, intentional ways, we become the hands and feet of Jesus and help lift burdens that feel too heavy to carry alone.

  13. 28

    Ep. 27 - Replace Anxiety With Prayer

    The Little Things is a faith-based podcast hosted by John Little, dedicated to connecting the dots between God and Grandpa's way of handling the little things in life that make a big difference. With every episode, you'll discover how simple, everyday choices—rooted in biblical truth and time-tested wisdom—can shape your life, your legacy, and even your eternity.

  14. 27

    Ep. 26 - Doing the Right Thing Next

    Life’s challenges are not always solved in one simple step, but God calls us to remain faithful in the process. Drawing from Galatians 6:9, this episode encourages believers to resist discouragement and keep doing what is right, even when answers seem delayed. By faithfully doing the next right thing, step by step, God leads us toward victory, growth, and fulfillment of His promises.

  15. 26

    Ep. 25 - How to be a Perfect Christian

    Jesus’ command to “be perfect” is not a call to flawlessness, but to completeness and spiritual maturity in Him. Scripture shows that God completes us in key areas—love, strength, faith, and patience—so that nothing is lacking in our walk with Christ. When we allow God to perfect these areas, we grow into fullness in Christ and experience greater victory over mistakes and failures.

  16. 25

    Ep. 24 - Complaining vs Commending

    Our attitudes lead us toward either complaining or commending, shaping the atmosphere of our lives and the people we become. Complaining grows out of the absence of gratitude and produces negativity, while commending and giving thanks build character, healing, and direction. Choosing gratitude—toward God and toward others—empowers us to rise above our circumstances and live with purpose, peace, and joy.

  17. 24

    Ep. 23 - Blessed Are the Peacemakers

    Saying “I’m sorry” is one of life’s most difficult but most powerful phrases, opening the door to healing, restoration, and unity. Three enemies—selfishness, pride, and denial—often keep us from admitting when we’re wrong, even though repentance is essential to healthy relationships. When we choose humility and take responsibility, God works through our sincerity to rebuild trust, restore peace, and strengthen our connections with others.

  18. 23

    Ep. 22 - The Strength of a Thankful Heart

    Gratitude is more than a feeling—it's a powerful choice that shapes our attitudes and transforms our lives. Scripture, science, and everyday experience all confirm that expressing thanks brings healing, joy, and greater well-being. When we move from simply feeling grateful to actively expressing gratitude, our attitudes shift, our perspectives lift, and our lives improve.

    Ep. 21 - Your Attitude Sets Your Flight Path

    This episode explores how our attitudes shape our life’s direction, much like an airplane’s attitude determines its flight performance. Through stories, analogies, and biblical principles, it teaches that while circumstances influence us, our attitude remains a powerful choice. When we position ourselves correctly—especially in life’s storms—we find stability, success, and spiritual strength.

  20. 21

    Ep. 20 - Attitude Determines Altitude

    Our attitude shapes how we see life and determines how we perform through both calm days and storms. A godly attitude helps us rise above challenges, steering us in the right direction no matter which way the winds of life blow. When we align our hearts with Christ, we find peace, strength, and success in every situation.

  21. 20

    Ep. 19 - Attitude, The Little Thing That Defines a Life

    Attitude may seem small, but it determines the direction and quality of our lives. A positive, faith-filled attitude helps us see challenges as opportunities for growth. When our attitude reflects Christ, we become living examples of His joy and strength in every situation.

    Forgiveness is the key that releases both the offender and the offended, opening the door to healing and peace. True forgiveness means letting go of grudges, choosing love over bitterness, and trusting God to bring restoration. When we forgive as God forgave us, we walk in freedom, unity, and the fullness of His grace.
