God Stories Radio

Welcome to "The Big C Church," where we confront the sobering reality of declining seriousness in our faith communities—particularly in tithing, generous giving, and support for those in need. Today, our panel will unpack why the church's commitment to biblical stewardship seems to be waning and what it means for ministries and people relying on our help. Please welcome my very special guests from the WAR Are We Ready Podcast. You dont want to miss this one.

Welcome to the podcast. Today we're talking about something many of us quietly carry — guilt. Those moments we wish we could redo, the words we wish we hadn't said, the choices that still weigh on our hearts. But the good news of the Gospel is that guilt was never meant to define us. In Christ, forgiveness is real, grace is deeper than our mistakes, and freedom is possible. Today we're exploring how to release guilt and step into the redemption God has already given us.

Pastor Johnny, a nationally recognized speaker and author, has been a part of Celebrate Recovery since the beginning of the program. Serving alongside his parents, the founders of Celebrate Recovery, his life was among the first lives changed by the program. Johnny has served on CR staff since 2004, became the pastor of Celebrate Recovery in 2012, and is now succeeding his father, Pastor John Baker, as the leader of the worldwide movement. As an adult child of an alcoholic who became an alcoholic himself, Johnny is passionate about breaking the cycle of dysfunction in his family and helping other families find the tools that will lead to healing and freedom.

Anxiety doesn't disqualify your faith. In this vulnerable conversation, we talk about real struggles with fear, overthinking, and panic — and how Christ meets us there. Not after we fix ourselves. Not after we "pray it away." But right in the middle of it. If you've ever wondered: Why do I still feel anxious if I trust God? Does surrender actually work? Can peace be real for me? This episode is for you. Join Fritz and special guest Chris Tompson. Peace isn't the absence of storms. It's the presence of Jesus in them.

Through biblical teaching, personal insight, and Spirit-led encouragement, Pastor Mack challenges believers to open their hearts fully to God's leading. Whether you are seeking revival, clarity, comfort, or fresh fire in your spiritual walk, this sermon will inspire you to invite the Holy Spirit into every area of your life. Join us as we lean into God's presence and rediscover the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. Living Hope Church – Clermont, Florida Bringing hope, building faith, and transforming lives through Jesus Christ.

This episode explores a surprising part of anxiety recovery: when anxiety lifts or you begin to feel calm, it can feel unfamiliar — even scary. The hosts explain that after long periods of worry and stress, your brain gets so used to scanning for threats that the absence of anxiety feels strange and unsettling. They call this experience panicogenic relaxation. We as Christians call it surrender. He alone can fill the anxiety void. 

Tonight we will hear from Mr. James Ells, senior pastor of The Gathering Church in Clermont, Florida. Joined by Mr. Dave Smth.

"Watch This" – Explaining the Bible with Clarity and Power When someone says, "Watch this," it usually means something important is about to happen. But when Greg says it, It grabs your attention. Now imagine applying that phrase to the Bible—the living Word of God. Every time we open it, God is saying, "Watch this. Watch what I've done, watch what I'm doing, and watch what I will do."

Knowing god vs. Knowing God: Identifying Little 'g' gods in Your Life In the Christian walk, there is a profound difference between knowing god (in a vague, cultural, or superficial sense) and truly knowing God—the living, holy, personal capital 'G' God of Scripture. One leads to religion without transformation, while the other leads to relationship, reverence, and revival.     1. "Knowing god": The Danger of Substitutes When we say someone "knows god" in the lowercase sense, it often means: A generic belief in a higher power without commitment to Jesus Christ. An idea of god shaped by culture, comfort, or convenience. A belief in self-made gods—things or people we elevate in our lives that take the place of God. These little 'g' gods are idols in disguise. Common "little g" gods: Success or ambition Money or materialism Approval or popularity Control or self-dependence Romance or relationships Religion without relationship "You shall have no other gods before Me." – Exodus 20:3 "Their gods are silver and gold, the work of human hands." – Psalm 115:4 These idols may not be carved statues, but they compete for our worship. They promise what only God can truly give—security, identity, purpose—but they always fail. 2. "Knowing God": The Real, Living Relationship To know God (capital G) means: Relationship over religion – Knowing about God isn't enough. He wants us to walk with Him daily. Revelation through Jesus – Jesus said, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father" (John 14:9). Submission and transformation – Knowing God means He shapes our identity, decisions, and desires. "Be still, and know that I am God." – Psalm 46:10 "Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." – John 17:3 3. How to Move from "knowing god" to Truly Knowing God Evaluate what you worship – What consumes your time, thoughts, and trust? Repent of idols – Confess and surrender the little gods you've allowed to lead you. Seek intimacy with God – Through prayer, Scripture, worship, and obedience. Invite the Holy Spirit to reveal any hidden idols or areas of misplaced trust.  

Spiritual Responses: Key Points for a Christian Life In our journey of faith, how we respond spiritually to life's challenges, blessings, and questions deeply reflects our walk with Christ. Here are some core principles and key points to guide your spiritual responses:     1. Respond with Faith, Not Fear "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind." – 2 Timothy 1:7 Faith trusts God even when the outcome is unclear. Fear reacts; faith responds. A spiritual response says, "I don't understand this, but I know God is still in control." 2. Respond with Prayer First "Pray without ceasing." – 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Before reacting emotionally, go to God in prayer. Prayer aligns your heart with His will and gives you peace and clarity. 3. Respond with the Word of God "It is written..." – Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered temptation and attack by quoting Scripture. Know the Word, speak the Word, and let the Word guide your decisions and emotions. 4. Respond with Love and Grace "Let your speech always be with grace." – Colossians 4:6 Spiritual maturity is shown in how we handle others, especially in conflict. A harsh response feeds division, but a gracious one opens hearts. 5. Respond with Forgiveness "Forgive as the Lord forgave you." – Colossians 3:13 Forgiveness is a powerful spiritual act that frees both the offended and the offender. Holding onto offense hinders your growth; letting go invites healing. 6. Respond with Humility "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." – James 4:6 Spiritual responses are rooted in humility—admitting we don't know everything, and we need God. Pride reacts to protect self-image; humility yields to God's shaping hand. 7. Respond with Praise and Gratitude "In everything give thanks..." – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Even in trials, spiritual eyes look for God's hand and choose praise. Gratitude shifts the atmosphere and invites joy into the situation. 8. Respond with Obedience "If you love Me, keep My commandments." – John 14:15 A spiritual response isn't just emotional—it's obedient. Even when it's hard or unpopular, obedience brings blessing and growth.  

The phrase "Risen By the Blood" holds powerful meaning, especially when viewed through the lens of Easter Sunday, the cornerstone of the Christian faith. It captures the essence of what Jesus accomplished through His death and resurrection—not just rising from the grave, but raising us with Him through the power of His shed blood.   1. The Blood: A Sacrifice That Saves Before resurrection came the crucifixion, where Jesus shed His blood as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. In the Old Testament, the blood of animals was used for atonement, but it was temporary. Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God, offered His blood once and for all: "Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins." – Hebrews 9:22 Through His blood: Sin is forgiven The curse of death is broken We are made righteous before God 2. The Resurrection: Power Over Death Easter Sunday is the celebration of Jesus rising from the dead, proving that sin and death were truly defeated. But it's not just about Him being alive again—we are spiritually raised with Him: "...just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." – Romans 6:4 This means: We are spiritually resurrected—given new life now We have the hope of eternal life We walk in victory, not defeat 3. "Risen By the Blood" – Our Identity in Christ So when we say "Risen by the Blood," we're declaring: Jesus rose, and by His blood, we rise too We are no longer slaves to sin, shame, or death His blood gives us access to resurrection power—spiritually now, and physically one day when He returns It's not just that Jesus got up—He got us up too. 4. Easter Becomes Personal Easter Sunday isn't just a holiday—it's a declaration: "I was dead in sin, but now I'm risen by the blood. I walk in freedom, I walk in grace, and I walk in the power of the resurrected Christ."

Crisis of Faith:  A crisis of faith is a deeply personal and often painful experience where a believer struggles with doubts about God, His goodness, or their beliefs. While it can feel like spiritual darkness, it is not uncommon—many strong Christians have faced seasons of questioning and uncertainty. 1. Understanding a Crisis of Faith A crisis of faith can be triggered by: Personal suffering – Loss, illness, unanswered prayers, or hardships can make God seem distant. Unfulfilled expectations – When life doesn't go as planned, we may question God's promises. Intellectual doubts – Questions about theology, science, or the problem of evil can shake one's faith. Hypocrisy or church hurt – Seeing failures in Christian leaders or experiencing hurt from believers can create disillusionment. Even biblical figures like Job, David, Elijah, and Thomas wrestled with doubts, yet God remained faithful to them. 2. How to Navigate a Crisis of Faith Bring Your Doubts to God – God isn't afraid of our questions. The Psalms are full of raw prayers where David expresses his struggles (Psalm 13:1-2). Stay in the Word – Even when faith feels weak, continuing to read Scripture allows truth to anchor your heart. Romans 10:17 reminds us that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." Surround Yourself with Godly Community – Isolation deepens doubt, but wise counsel and fellowship can bring clarity (Proverbs 11:14). Seek God, Not Just Answers – Sometimes, we want explanations when God invites us into deeper trust (Proverbs 3:5-6). Faith grows not by having all the answers but by leaning into God despite uncertainty. Remember Past Faithfulness – Reflecting on what God has done in the past can remind us of His faithfulness even in the present storm. 3. The Outcome: Strengthened, Not Destroyed A crisis of faith does not mean the end of faith—it can be a refining process. James 1:2-4 tells us that trials develop perseverance and maturity. Even Jesus, on the cross, cried out, "My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46). Yet, in the resurrection, we see that doubt and despair are never the final word.  

Being single as a Christian is not a waiting room for marriage—it's a season of purpose, growth, and deepening one's relationship with Christ. Whether someone is content in singleness or open to mingling, the key is to navigate this phase with wisdom, faith, and a Christ-centered mindset.   1. Singleness: A Season of Purpose Embracing God's Timing – 1 Corinthians 7:32-34 highlights the blessings of singleness, emphasizing undivided devotion to the Lord. Instead of seeing it as a lack, recognize it as an opportunity to grow spiritually, serve, and discover purpose. Building Character – This is the time to develop qualities like patience, kindness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23) that will prepare you for any future relationship. Fulfilling Kingdom Work – Many great biblical figures, including Paul, thrived in their singleness by focusing on God's mission. 2. Mingling with a Kingdom Mindset Guarding Your Heart – Proverbs 4:23 reminds us to protect our hearts. Casual dating without intention can lead to unnecessary heartbreak. Approach relationships prayerfully and with discernment. Yoked in Faith – 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns against being unequally yoked. If mingling, seek someone who shares your faith and values. Godly Standards Over Worldly Pressure – The world pushes dating based on attraction and emotions, but God calls us to prioritize character, faith, and purpose alignment. 3. Preparing for What's Next (If Marriage Is the Goal) Become Who You're Looking For – Instead of just seeking the "right one," focus on becoming the person God has called you to be. Pray for Guidance – James 1:5 encourages us to seek wisdom. Ask God to lead your steps when considering a relationship. Community & Accountability – Surround yourself with godly counsel, mentors, and Christian friends who will support and guide you in this journey.  

"Stop The Drop (The Ripple Effect)" can carry a deep spiritual meaning when viewed through the lens of Christ's teachings. Spiritually speaking, this phrase can symbolize stopping the negative cycles in our lives and communities before they spread further—much like Jesus taught about breaking chains of sin, suffering, and despair.   Breaking the Cycle Through Christ Sin and Redemption – When we fall into sin, it creates ripples not just in our own lives but in the lives of others. However, Christ provides redemption, allowing us to stop the negative ripple effect by turning back to Him. The Power of Influence – Just as one small action can cause a ripple in water, our words, choices, and behaviors influence those around us. Jesus calls us to be the light of the world (Matthew 5:14) and to create ripples of love, peace, and grace instead of negativity. Spiritual Warfare – Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces. "Stopping the drop" means standing firm in faith, prayer, and the Word of God to prevent the enemy from gaining ground. Healing and Restoration – Many times, pain, trauma, and generational curses are like ripples in a pond. They spread from one generation to another. But in Christ, we can break these cycles and bring healing, turning past pain into testimonies of victory. How to Stop the Drop Spiritually Repent and Turn to God – Acknowledge areas where you may have caused negative ripples and seek God's forgiveness. Speak Life, Not Death – Proverbs 18:21 says life and death are in the power of the tongue. Speak blessings, not curses. Walk in Love and Forgiveness – When we choose love over hate and forgiveness over bitterness, we disrupt the cycle of negativity. Pray Without Ceasing – Prayer can change situations and stop the enemy's plans from taking root. Be a Christ-Like Example – Live in a way that inspires others to follow Christ rather than stumble.    

That's a powerful perspective—Failure is Progress—especially when viewed through the lens of our Christian walk and God's will. In our journey of faith, failure isn't the opposite of progress; it's often a crucial part of it. The Bible is filled with stories of people who stumbled, failed, and yet grew closer to God through those very experiences. Think about Peter denying Jesus or Moses' reluctance—their failures didn't disqualify them; rather, they were stepping stones in God's plan for them.   1. Failure Reveals Our Dependence on God Paul reminds us in 2 Corinthians 12:9: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." When we fail, we realize we can't rely on our own strength—we need God. Failure humbles us and draws us closer to Him. 2. Failure Refines Our Character James 1:2-4 encourages us to consider trials as joy because they produce perseverance. Failure teaches us patience, endurance, and wisdom, molding us into who God wants us to be. 3. Failure Redirects Us to God's Will Sometimes, failure is God closing a door to guide us toward the right one. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding—our missteps can actually be divine redirections. 4. Failure Prepares Us for Greater Purpose Peter denied Jesus three times—a massive failure—but Jesus restored him, and Peter later led thousands to Christ (John 21:15-17, Acts 2). God often allows failure as preparation for something bigger. 5. Failure Strengthens Our Testimony When we fall and get back up with God's help, our story becomes a testimony to His grace. Romans 8:28 reminds us that God works all things for good for those who love Him. Even our mistakes can glorify Him. So if you're feeling like you've "stepped on your own toe" spiritually, remember—failure isn't the end. It's part of God shaping you, teaching you, and leading you into a deeper relationship with Him.

 The phrase "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him" comes from Job 13:15 and is one of the most profound declarations of faith in the entire Bible. 1. "Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him" This is one of the most profound statements of faith in the Bible. Job is saying that even if God allows him to die, he will still trust in Him. It reflects a deep, unconditional faith—a belief that God's purposes are good, even when they seem painful or incomprehensible. Faith in suffering: Job has lost nearly everything—his wealth, his children, and his health—yet he refuses to turn away from God. A test of devotion: This echoes themes found elsewhere in Scripture, such as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3:17-18, where they declare that even if God does not rescue them from the fiery furnace, they will not bow to another god. 2. "But I will maintain mine own ways before Him" Here, Job asserts his integrity. While he trusts God, he also maintains that he has done nothing to deserve his suffering. This shows that: Job does not see his suffering as punishment for sin. His friends argue that he must have sinned to suffer this much, but Job insists he has lived righteously. He wants to present his case before God. This foreshadows Job's later plea for an audience with God (Job 31). The Bigger Picture Job's statement reveals a deep paradox of faith: Trusting in God even when His actions are painful and confusing. Holding onto personal integrity while still surrendering to God's sovereignty. This verse is a challenge to all believers—can we trust God even when life is at its worst? Job's faith ultimately points to Jesus, who on the cross cried, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46) yet still submitted to the Father's will.

TIME TO BE - There's a beautiful power in sharing what we've been given, whether it's our stories, talents, or resources. When we step into that purpose, it not only glorifies God but also inspires and uplifts others. We each have something unique to offer, and letting our gifts shine encourages others to discover and share their own. The world needs what only you can bring, and the time to act is indeed now.

"No Faith in Man, Only Jesus"  Human beings, with their limitations and flaws, are not deserving of ultimate trust or reliance. Instead, faith should be placed solely in Jesus Christ, who is viewed as perfect, unchanging, and divine in Christian belief. This perspective is rooted in the idea that humans are fallible and prone to failure, whereas Jesus, as the Son of God, offers salvation, guidance, and eternal truth that one can depend on without fear of betrayal or disappointment. www.godstoriesradio.com

Do you long to live a completely holy life but feel like it's out of your reach? Does the word 'holiness' feel like a bad word in your ears? Holiness is too often seen as a negative thing. For this reason, many believers avoid the subject at all costs.

Wholly Holy will help you change your thinking about holiness, and overcome besetting sins, addictions and behaviors no matter how long you've struggled with them. Become just like Jesus in your thoughts, attitudes, motives, behavior, and speech. Become wholly holy today!

Coping with loss and family stress during the holidays can be challenging, but having a plan in place can help you navigate this difficult time. Here's a suggested plan to help you survive the holidays: Acknowledge Your Feelings: Recognize and accept that it's okay to feel a range of emotions, including sadness, grief, anger, or frustration. Give yourself permission to grieve and understand that healing is a process that takes time. Communicate Your Needs: Clearly communicate your needs to family and friends. Let them know if you need support, or if you prefer some time alone. Be honest about your emotions, and don't feel pressured to pretend everything is okay if it's not.   Create New Traditions or Modify Existing Ones: If old traditions are too painful, consider creating new ones or modifying existing ones to better suit your current situation. Focus on activities that bring comfort and joy, even if they are different from what you've done in the past. Memorialize and Honor: Find meaningful ways to honor and remember your loved one. This could include creating a memorial, lighting a candle, or sharing stories with family members. Incorporate your loved one's memory into holiday activities to keep their spirit alive. Self-Care: Prioritize self-care. Take time for activities that bring you peace and relaxation. Get enough sleep, eat well, and engage in activities that nourish your mind and body. Connect with Supportive People: Seek out friends, support groups, or therapists who can provide understanding and comfort during this time. Surround yourself with people who are supportive and compassionate.   Focus on Gratitude: Practice gratitude for the positive aspects of your life, even amidst the challenges. Consider keeping a gratitude journal to remind yourself of the good things in your life. Professional Support: If the stress becomes too overwhelming, consider seeking professional help from a counselor or therapist who specializes in grief and loss.

"Bio dad" is a colloquial and informal term often used to refer to a person's biological father. The term distinguishes the biological or genetic relationship between the father and the child, without necessarily implying an ongoing or close relationship. It might be used when discussing family dynamics or relationships, especially in situations where there may be a difference between a biological parent and someone who plays a more active or involved role in the individual's life. It's worth noting that the term "bio dad" is informal and may not carry the same emotional or legal weight as terms like "father" or "dad." The nature of the relationship between a biological father and their child can vary widely, and individuals may use different terms based on their unique family circumstances. Tonight John Durham joins Fritz in this riveting conversation concerning Fathers. Welcome, glad YOU ARE HERE.

Humility: Meekness is closely associated with humility. It involves recognizing one's own limitations, imperfections, and the inherent dignity of others. Meek individuals are not driven by arrogance or pride but instead show a willingness to learn and grow. Self-Control: Meek people exercise self-control over their emotions, reactions, and impulses.
