Is staying busy the mark of productivity and success? Marianne Howard is an author and a speaker who knows full well about the dangers of running your mind, body, and soul on empty! She points out, “We can’t pour Jesus into others…if we ourselves are not communing with Him! He’s the giver of rest. He created it!” It’s so important to find rest, stillness, and silence, even in the middle of a busy day. It’s not just about sleeping - it’s about something Marianne calls “soul rest” that recharges your heart, mind, and soul. “‘Hurry’ is always going to disturb your intimacy with God,” she observes. “‘Hurry’ is always going to distract and divide us.” Run to the King of Kings and find your rest - don’t lean into self-sufficiency and chaos.

TAKEAWAYS
Hurrying simply feeds discontentment and self-sufficiency
Overcoming spiritual fatigue requires bone-deep soul rest
We cannot muster of true rest ourselves - we need Jesus for that
Don’t run your spiritual, emotional, and physical tank too close to empty - you can’t give if you don’t have

Most traditional marriage counselors will tell you that marriage is a two-way street, but Dr. David Hawkins disagrees. He says that this is “woefully inadequate for most problems” and confirms that many men struggle with dominating, dismissing, and deflecting their wives in their relationships. Dr. Hawkins is the owner and clinical director of the Marriage Recovery Center and the Emotional Abuse Institute. He’s also a bestselling author and the host of the “Mad In Love” podcast. Dr. Hawkins discusses the “maze of confusion” that emotional abusers and narcissists can weave and how women are most often - although not always - victimized by it. Dr. Hawkins also explains what emotional abuse is, what it does to a victim, and the key factor to escaping the trauma: intervention!

TAKEAWAYS
The past is the best predictor of the future unless there’s an intervention
A person is not born a narcissist, but rather, it is learned behavior
Narcissism can also be defined as “extreme emotional immaturity”
Ongoing emotional abuse can result in PTSD or CPTSD in the victim

In this final installment of a very important conversation with former FEMA official and investigator Celeste Solum, the story of Sophie Scholl, a young woman who stood up against the Nazi regime, is discussed. Celeste recommends that Christians watch this multi-award winning drama Sophie Scholl - The Final Days, to properly understand the kind of persecution that will likely soon transpire in America. There are over 1,000 FEMA or concentration camps currently in existence in the U.S., and Celeste says that they are being set up to be depopulation centers as the world moves closer toward globalist tyranny. This is a posthuman world, according to the United Nations and the elites. They won’t need most of the human population to fulfill their wicked scheme and plan to replace humans with synthetic humanoids.

TAKEAWAYS
Nazi influence over American government has been more intense than people realize
Celeste recommends that everyone read, The Holocaust Chronicles: A History in Words and Pictures
What happened in the Holocaust was “perfectly legal,” and therefore all the more chilling on what can happen here in America
The elites will not need a large population and will not need slave labor, hence their plans for mass murdering humans worldwide

It’s easy to be distracted and discouraged by the hardships in our lives. In the thick of our greatest struggles, we often forget to delve deep into the rich peace and hope that God offers through a powerful prayer life. Dr. Bill Thrasher is a professor of theology at Moody Bible Institute and the author of How to Resurrect a Dead Prayer Life: Transforming Your Prayers into Spirit-Empowered, Life-Giving Adventure. After years of a personal pilgrimage learning how to pray, Bill shares some of his hard-won wisdom about welcoming the Holy Spirit into our conversations and personal time with the Lord. He also talks about how to identify a dead prayer life, the benefits of a healthy prayer life, and the relational joy with the Lord that waits for those who are willing to spend time with God!

TAKEAWAYS
God wins victories even amid defeat
Sometimes you need to be strengthened to believe - sometimes you need people praying for you or with you to help you cope with difficulty
The Lord tells us in His Word to be anxious for nothing and to give our anxieties to Him
When God wants to do something, He places a prayer burden on someone’s heart

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central theme in Scripture that gives us a hope for a future in heaven, says Jeff Brannon, a professor and chair of biblical studies at Belhaven University. Jesus died as an atoning sacrifice for our sins, but the story doesn’t end with His death - it truly begins with the resurrection! Without the resurrection, there is no Christianity. We should celebrate Easter every day and rejoice in Christ’s powerful victory over sin and death. He is the hero who came to save us from the enemy who sought to destroy us. Because of Christ, we have joy and hope for tomorrow because He was vindicated and declared righteous and the King of Kings when He rose again.

TAKEAWAYS
Jesus was unjustly put to death, but He conquered sin when He rose from the grave
All the benefits we have as a Christian center on the resurrection and us being united with Christ
Before our salvation, we had a sin-centered master and a sin nature: now we we have new orientation and identity as Christians
We are servants of righteousness

Is it a bad thing to constantly be busy? Will the business become a distraction that takes our eyes off Christ? Pastor Rush Witt talks about finding hope in Christ, and explains why activities become distractions if we are running to those things constantly and they begin to capitalize our thoughts. What’s your go-to when you have downtime? Is it Christ or a distraction? Surround yourself with Christian people who encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus. A strong Christian community is a key component of staying firm in the faith. There is always hope in Christ, Rush says. Look to He who overcomes rather than the chaos of this world.

TAKEAWAYS
We need to meditate on the truths of the Word of God when we are feeling discouraged
We MUST look to Christ who overcomes in all things
There are many resources and hotlines for those struggling with feelings of depression or suicide
Escapism holds a powerful allure in every season and it’s important to recognize if we are pursuing escapism instead of Jesus

Why do we tend to lean into escapism when we binge-watch television or scroll social media for hours? Most of us are slow movers when it comes to change, Rush Witt says, because fallen people in a fallen world tend to place obstacles in their own path to avoid giving up their escapist vices. Rush is a biblical counselor and the pastor of Paramount Church and discusses how he and his wife made their way through a difficult season of life and survived it through God’s grace with the help of solid counseling. He talks about the four ways people often seek escape rather than God: denial, deflection, distraction, and even death. The Bible says that our issues ultimately spring up from within the heart. What does your heart say about you?

TAKEAWAYS
We should always turn to God first when we have problems we are facing or needing to address
What’s coming out of our heart says a lot about who we really are
Guard your heart not just from the influences of the world, but guard what is coming out of your heart, as well
Draw near to Jesus as your hope and help in time of need and through thanksgiving and prayer

Even in the midst of Mardi Gras madness, there is an opportunity to spread the joy of Christ. Tara Dew has shared Jesus in her community by going into the heart of New Orleans to proclaim the Gospel. She is the president’s wife of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, director of Thrive ministries, and author of Overflowing Joy: What Jesus Says About a Joy-Filled Life. She discusses what it’s like to witness during Mardi Gras celebrations and discusses the three big “Ps” of her book: Pruning, Presence, and Persevering in God’s commands. She also talks about why women often feel like they are not doing well in life, thanks to unfair pressures and social media illusions. “Don’t let the world distract you,” she says. Jesus alone is our life and our joy.

TAKEAWAYS
Jesus is the rooted vine that gives life to the branches, which represent us
Comparison is a thief of joy
We often forget that attitudes are contagious and that our JOY can be contagious
Mardi Gras is more scandalous in the French Quarter where the partying takes place, but offers an excellent opportunity to witness

How can we find happiness even when we are suffering in the midst of circumstances beyond our control? Author Michele Howe is a teacher and writer who addresses how important it is to dig deep into Scripture and learn more about God so that we can know how to find peace and strength to persevere amidst life’s struggles. Find time to spend with God - even if it’s just a few minutes each day. God will honor your time with Him, so make those minutes count! Strive to have a heart of gratitude, not grumbling. We should emulate the attitude of the apostle Paul, who suffered greatly, but learned to be content in all circumstances. Whatever we are dealing with - our response begins in our heart, so let’s give our hearts to God.

TAKEAWAYS
We would all like to be strong and independent but GOD alone is our strength and our redeemer
How good is God not to always give us the desires of our heart - He knows what we need and when we need it
Without Christ we have no hope
God is sovereign, even when you feel like your life is out of control

Take your everyday, practical worries and give them to God! This is the wise advice that pastor and author Josiah Bancroft shares about faith, peace, and long suffering. He also discusses the hallmarks of a mature Christian and how suffering can play an integral role in growing our faith, even if it’s uncomfortable and extremely difficult. Part of the key to growing in faith is rejoicing in Jesus regardless of circumstances, he says. We’re going to have trials and tribulations, but we can be content in Christ because His presence in our lives is solid and will never change. God can be what you can’t and that should give us encouragement. Give yourself time to process grief or difficulties and turn to Christ for help.

TAKEAWAYS
God has given us relationships and communities to help encourage us during times of difficulty
Read 2 Corinthians chapters 1 and 2 for encouragement about God’s comfort during times of duress
Our “secret” to happiness is in Jesus - He is the key to everything good and perfect
Be willing to acknowledge that you have a lot to learn - that’s the mark of a mature Christian

The apostle Paul was a great example of looking toward the future and fixing his eyes on Jesus, even in the midst of intense trials and suffering. Pastor Josiah Bancroft is an author and ministry leader who has studied Paul’s life and shares how we can learn from the apostle’s example and search for joy in our Christian walk no matter the circumstances we are facing. Focus on Jesus and live in repentance, he shares. He points out the lessons we can learn from Paul, who spent so much time in prison for his faith. Jesus takes two frayed pieces of cloth and makes a smooth seam. He will make our paths straight and He will give us joy in life even when we are in the midst of the most difficult of times.

TAKEAWAYS
Paul encouraged his friends with a letter even while he was in prison
One of the meanings of the name Josiah is “healed by God” and he explains how Jesus “healed” him by dying on the cross
Christian hope isn’t about things getting better - we should expect trials and remember we always have an eternal hope in Christ
Our hope in Jesus transcends our circumstances with the hope of heaven

There are many benefits to having a Christian mentor in your life, emphasizes pastor Rich Shadden, the co-author of Shepherding the Pastor: Help for the Early Years of Ministry. He discusses today how important it was for him to be mentored by an older pastor during his younger years of leadership. Rich explains the benefits of Christian counsel and also shares his thoughts about how Christians can approach the concept of changing careers or changing ministries from a godly perspective and by seeking out godly wisdom from trustworthy friends and leaders. Model your leadership style after Christ, who laid down His life for the sheep. Rich explains that his helpful insight from his book can easily be applied to any person in a leadership role or wanting to step into one.

TAKEAWAYS
Older men should take younger men under their wing and mentor them
Nobody should make big decisions in isolation but seek Godly counsel from experienced leaders who have profound wisdom
We have to be good stewards of what God has put in front of us
We were meant to lead with other people by our side

What is the New Apostolic Reformation movement - also known as NAR? Holly Pivec is here to help explain the ins and outs of the movement that is sweeping churches far and wide around the globe. Holly is an apologist and co-author of the book, Counterfeit Kingdom: The Dangers of New Revelation, New Prophets, and New Age Practices in the Church. She breaks down the unbiblical teachings of the movement, identifies prominent leaders in the NAR world, and explains how the prophets and apostles in their churches can abuse their self-appointed authority in horrendous ways. Be on the lookout for NAR teachings in today’s modern churches and in most Christian music! Another sign that we are living in the End Times.

TAKEAWAYS
The NAR movement adds to the Bible by teaching that apostolic dominion is necessary to usher in the return of Christ
NAR believes that apostles are authorized by God to bring new revelation and take dominion over the Earth
These NAR apostles believe that they are more powerful than elders and pastors in the church
Prophets and apostles often teach that their revelations are a direct pipeline to God and that their revelations are on par with the Bible

Pastors should teach their congregation the whole truth of the Bible without fear or shame, says author, former senior pastor, and bestselling author David Fiorazo. Where has the modern church gone wrong? We are on a cliff in America, he warns. We’re really close to the End Times! How is the church failing its flock? By failing to prepare them to be salt and light in the world. The world is influencing the church more than the church is influencing the world, David points out. It’s a hard job to be a pastor, but they have a responsibility under God to equip the saints. Speak the truth in love, be brave, and continue to do the Lord’s work no matter the cost. Time is of the essence.

TAKEAWAYS
We must speak about the truth that we have seen and heard and witness to the lost
If your pastor is failing to tackle relevant subjects from the pulpit, approach them in a loving way to prepare people for hard times ahead
The fastest growing churches are those that are tackling difficult topics and informing their church body of what to expect in the near future
The decline of major cultural institutions coincides with the decline of the church

“It takes approximately 130 Christians to reach just one person for Christ,” shares Dr. Thom Rainer, the founder and CEO of Church Answers. The former pastor and bestselling author has almost 40 years of ministry experience and has excellent insight as to why Americans are leaving the church in droves. What are the deadly reasons why churches are failing today? Why aren’t they equipping parishioners to share the gospel with the lost like we were commissioned to do according to the Word of God? Thom reminds us that sometimes we’re doing so many good things that we are being distracted from not doing the one great thing God has called us to do. Don’t fall into the trap of busyness and miss your mission on earth.

TAKEAWAYS
The Covid pandemic exacerbated an already-present problem of low church attendance
When we minimize the importance of the local church, we minimize meeting with other believers as God urged us to do
People have to meet together in His name - hence the purpose of the church
Many people who attend church don’t believe that Jesus is the only way to heaven

We have witnessed the devaluation of education over the past two decades, and despite the decline of public education, there has been a rise in Christian alternatives. FreedomProject Academy is one of those phenomenal alternatives! David Harper is the principal of the academy, and he explains the value of making God the center of your child’s educational experience. 75-80 percent of their graduates move up to a four-year college and many of them also start their own entrepreneurial businesses. Since 2011, the school has continually expanded, and for good reason: as public education has removed God and objective truth from the classroom, FreedomProject Academy integrates the Bible into everything they do.

TAKEAWAYS
FreedomProject is self-paced and easy to integrate into your everyday schedule and include pre-recorded videos, assignments, and tests
FreedomProject also offers a traditional homeschool track for students and parents
The academy focuses heavily on entrepreneurship as well as academic readiness
Every child has gifts and talents that we have an obligation to unlock as parents

Col. David Giammona wants Christians to be “battle ready” to face Satan in the End Times. As a prophecy scholar, U.S. Army chaplain, and president of Battle Ready Ministries, he is passionate about equipping the soldiers of God’s army to go into the world and not only proclaim the gospel but stand firm for the truth. David explains how every area of our world and culture is being influenced by the forces of darkness. He also outlines exactly how Israel factors into the oncoming End Times prophecies that have been revealed in scripture through Revelation and other Old Testament passages. He warns Christians about the Antichrist who will soon come on the scene and cautions that the last days are closer than you might think!

TAKEAWAYS
Jesus WILL come back - are you rapture ready
Iran and Turkey would love to see Israel wiped out and are setting the stage for that to happen
There are signs we are living in the End Times, like the massive media deception as well as deception within the church
Israel is the centerpiece to the entire End Times prophetic narrative

Very few children who are raised in a Christian home or in the Christian church remain in the faith after they graduate from high school. Why? Because so many Christians can’t recognize the truth when they see it! David Richardson is the president of the Assumptions Institute and the creator of Learn to Discern, a discernment training ministry. He discusses why teaching discernment as a discipline is so critical and key to preparing our children for not only recognizing a lie but for recognizing objective truth. You don’t need an advanced degree to train yourself to exercise good biblical discernment. David shares key information about the relativistic age we are in and how to combat it with common sense God-centered knowledge.

TAKEAWAYS
Discernment is not an innate skill - it is something that requires training and practice
The majority of American pastors do not believe in objective truth, nor most Christians
If you can’t recognize anything as true then you’ll recognize NOTHING as true
If you don’t train your children to recognize truth, they may never recognize it at all

Satan, the great deceiver, has rebelled against God, who made us to replace Satan as Earth’s dominators. Despite his distinct strategies, Satan has failed, and his doom is sure. Until then, you must know and discern his strategic efforts. When it comes to understanding the spiritual realm, the rising authority on this subject is Paul Renfroe. As an author, businessman, and minister, his calling is to unveil the Unseen Realm for your full function. Paul explains Satan’s first four strategies in Genesis 1-11 to attack mankind, with jealousy and hatred that has festered for thousands of years. We are living in the End Times, and it is critical we are vigilant so the deceiver doesn't trick us. Learn new discernment tips for these days of calamity.

TAKEAWAYS
Satan’s four strategies to attack man are to corrupt human multiplication, release sin, interbreed with humans, and claim nations
If you are born again, you are a spiritual being with a mission to reach people of every maturity level
Churches leave Christians immature in spirit, and it’s up to us to study and arm ourselves with knowledge
We must arm our children to face the kingdom of darkness and know Satan’s evil strategies, so our children can stand strong in their faith
