SPIRITUALLY FIT | TODAY
What’s the difference between guilt and shame, and how does faith address both? In this episode of Spiritually Fit Today, Arnie Cole and Bruce explore how shame shapes our identity, the power of grace, and how the gospel frees us from condemnation. Discover practical steps to move beyond shame and embrace God’s approval, with insights from personal stories and scripture, including Romans 8:1.
BACK TO THE BIBLE DAILY
What does "the truth will set you free" really mean? In this episode of Back to the Bible Daily, Braden Pedersen explores John 8 to reveal Jesus’ true message about freedom—not just from ignorance, but from the slavery of sin. Discover how abiding in God’s Word leads to genuine freedom, as Braden unpacks the deeper context behind this often-misunderstood phrase.
ADDITIONAL STEPS:
STEP 1 - RECEIVE
(Receive God's Word and Grow in Bible Knowledge)
Humility can be a hard word to swallow, especially when everything inside us tells us to stand up and fight. But as Paul continues his encouraging letter to the Philippians, he challenges them to live a life of humility. And as an example, he points to the life of Jesus Himself. Find out more about the power of a humble servant in today's message.
STEP 2 - REFLECT
(How does this Scripture Apply to your life?)
We've all been through those dark times: someone we loved died; someone turned their back on us; we messed up and have to pay the price. In those times, it can feel like we've been abandoned in the dark. But take a minute today to join Sarah as she shares some encouraging words from the Bible that a friend once shared with her.
STEP 3 - RESPOND
(How will you Win Today?)
“Why?” It’s the shortest yet most often asked question about discouragement. Coach Justus goes to the Book of Psalms for a training session on making it through discouragement.
Remember that God is with you, He has poured out His love on you, and He will see you through this season, even if it is hard.
STEP 4 - REVEAL
(How will you reveal Jesus to others today through praying and sharing?)
God is present. No matter what you are going through, God is there with you. Paula reminds us of this amazing truth as she leads our daily prayer time.
Please pray for me. I feel completely alone and isolated in my church. So much so that I don’t feel like I can not return. I love my church family and hate to not see them and this is breaking my heart. I feel shame for what is being said about me and ask for forgiveness from my church.
