The Morning Charge

Many people are still functioning, serving, leading, parenting, working, and caring for others, but they are doing it from a spiritually dry place.In this episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua Hommes talks honestly about what happens when we keep pouring out without returning to Jesus to be filled. Spiritual dryness eventually shows up in our attitudes, reactions, relationships, patience, discernment, and ability to carry everyday responsibilities.Using passages including John 15:4-5, Psalm 23:1-3, Isaiah 40:31, Luke 10:38-42, Luke 5:16, Matthew 11:28-30, and 3 John 1:2, Joshua explains why abiding in Christ is not an optional part of the Christian life. It is the source from which everything else flows.This episode offers practical encouragement for anyone who feels tired, emotionally drained, spiritually empty, or stretched too thin. The answer is not always doing more, trying harder, or pushing through. Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is slow down, sit in God’s presence, and reconnect to the source.Episode Summary: Spiritual dryness eventually affects your attitude, patience, relationships, and discernment.  Abiding in Jesus is the source of lasting strength and fruit.  Busyness can hide dryness, but it cannot heal it.  Jesus modeled the importance of withdrawing to pray and be with the Father.  Strength is renewed by waiting on the Lord, not by constantly pushing harder.Send us a messageJoin The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.Want to go deeper?Join the Branjo Circle for teaching notes, discipleship resources, live classes, and community.Learn more at branjocollective.comReal Talk.

There are times when God asks us to step into something we've never done before. The question is, are we truly using discernment, or are we allowing fear to keep us comfortable?In today's Morning Charge, Joshua challenges one of the most common spiritual misconceptions many believers face: confusing fear with wisdom. While discernment is a gift from God that helps us recognize His leading, fear often disguises itself as caution, hesitation, or "waiting on the Lord." Left unchecked, it keeps us from walking into the very purpose God has prepared for us.Drawing from Scripture including 2 Timothy 1, Proverbs 3, James 3, Numbers 13–14, Isaiah 30, and John 10, this episode explores how God's voice leads us toward obedience while fear always pushes us toward self-protection. You'll discover practical ways to identify false reasoning, recognize trusted voices in your life, and develop the courage to obey God even when the next step feels uncertain.If you've been wrestling with whether God is calling you into something new, this conversation will encourage you to stop magnifying the obstacles and start trusting the One who promised to walk with you every step of the way. Episode Summary: Learn the difference between biblical discernment and fear disguised as wisdom.  Discover why fear often sounds spiritual while quietly keeping us comfortable.  See how Scripture calls believers to trust God instead of demanding complete control.  Be challenged to identify areas where fear has delayed your obedience.  Take practical steps toward walking confidently in God's calling. Send us a messageJoin The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.Want to go deeper?Join the Branjo Circle for teaching notes, discipleship resources, live classes, and community.Learn more at branjocollective.comReal Talk.

One of the biggest questions believers ask is, "Is this God speaking, or is this just me?"In this episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua Hommes explores how to discern God's voice in everyday life. Feelings can be strong, opportunities can look good, and emotions can convince us that we're headed in the right direction. But how do we know whether we're following God's direction or simply chasing our own desires?Together, we'll look at what Scripture teaches about hearing God's voice, surrendering our own ambitions, testing every decision against God's Word, seeking wise counsel, and allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our hearts. We'll also examine why God's direction doesn't always feel comfortable, and why true peace is found in obedience rather than convenience.If you've ever wrestled with making a major decision, wondered whether you're hearing from God, or simply want to grow in spiritual discernment, this episode offers practical, biblical encouragement to help you walk confidently with Jesus.Because the closer we walk with Him, the more familiar His voice becomes.Episode Summary: Learn practical biblical principles for discerning God's voice.  Discover why strong emotions aren't always the same as divine direction.  Understand how surrender, Scripture, and wise counsel work together.  Explore how God shapes our desires as we delight ourselves in Him.  Be encouraged to walk closely with Jesus so His voice becomes increasingly familiar.Send us a messageJoin The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.Want to go deeper?Join the Branjo Circle for teaching notes, discipleship resources, live classes, and community.Learn more at branjocollective.comReal Talk.

In this episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua teaches on the danger of living in blame and the freedom that comes when we begin taking personal responsibility before God. Blame may protect the flesh for a moment, but it keeps us stuck in the same cycles, wounds, reactions, and patterns.Using scriptures like James 1:23-26, Genesis 3, Psalm 139:23-24, Matthew 15:18-19, Luke 6:45, Hebrews 12:15, Proverbs 28:13, 2 Corinthians 13:5, and Luke 18:9-14, this teaching challenges listeners to stop only dealing with surface symptoms and allow the Lord to reveal the root.Joshua talks about forgiveness, bitterness, offense, pride, insecurity, maturity, and the importance of asking, “Lord, what are You showing me in this?” instead of always asking, “Who can I blame for this?”This episode is a call to honesty, repentance, healing, and growth. If the same battles keep repeating in your life, this teaching will help you begin asking better questions and surrendering the deeper issues to Jesus.Episode SummaryBlame protects the flesh, but honesty opens the door to healing.Repeated cycles often reveal roots that have not been dealt with.Adam and Eve modeled the first blame shift in Genesis 3.Jesus teaches that what comes out of the mouth flows from the heart.Growth begins when we stop blaming people and start letting God search us.Send us a messageJoin The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.Want to go deeper?Join the Branjo Circle for teaching notes, discipleship resources, live classes, and community.Learn more at branjocollective.comReal Talk.

On today’s episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua teaches on why God starts with foundations before He builds anything lasting in our lives. In a culture that wants quick growth, instant breakthrough, and visible fruit, God often works first on what is hidden: character, prayer life, marriage, parenting, finances, integrity, habits, and obedience.This episode challenges listeners to stop rushing the process and let Jesus become the true foundation of everything they are building. Whether it is your home, marriage, ministry, business, calling, or personal walk with God, what is underneath will determine what can stand when pressure comes.Key takeaways from this episode:God is not careless in how He builds.Storms do not create your foundation; they reveal it.Hearing truth is not the same as building on truth.Foundations are formed through daily faithfulness and obedience.Before God takes you higher, He has to build you deeper.The strength of your foundation determines the safety of your increase.Jesus Christ must be the foundation of everything.Send us a messageJoin The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.Want to go deeper?Join the Branjo Circle for teaching notes, discipleship resources, live classes, and community.Learn more at branjocollective.comReal Talk.

On today’s episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua teaches on spiritual warfare, open doors, and why some battles keep repeating in our lives.

If you feel like the same struggles keep coming back, this episode will help you examine what doors need to be closed and how to keep them shut.Key takeaways from this episode:Spiritual warfare is real, but not every battle is random attack.Sin, compromise, unforgiveness, bitterness, and rebellion can open doors to the enemy.What you tolerate can become what torments you.Forgiveness closes doors that bitterness keeps open.Hidden sin eventually produces visible fruit.You cannot ask God to close what you keep reopening.Freedom must be guarded after repentance and deliverance.Send us a messageJoin The Morning Charge LIVE Monday-Friday at 7:30 AM CT on TikTok.Want to go deeper?Join the Branjo Circle for teaching notes, discipleship resources, live classes, and community.Learn more at branjocollective.comReal Talk.

On today’s episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua teaches from James 1:22 on why believers are called to be doers of the Word, not hearers only. Hearing truth is important, but if we never respond with obedience, action, and transformation, we can mistake inspiration for real spiritual growth.This episode challenges listeners to stop sitting on what God has already spoken and begin walking it out.

On today’s episode of The Morning Charge, Joshua wraps up the week by talking about the cost of staying the same. After a week of conversations on surrender, daily obedience, biblical order, and making the home an altar again, this episode asks the question many people avoid: what happens if we keep hearing the truth but refuse to change?This is a strong Friday challenge for anyone who feels stuck, stagnant, spiritually dry, or tired of going around the same mountain.
