326 – How to Deal with Judgmental People

11/14/2025
326 – FREEDOM FRIDAY How do you deal with judgmental people? Have you ever been talking to someone who gets very judgmental of you because of mistakes you've made in the past, things you're not still doing, attitudes and actions that you have left behind, but they want to keep you in the past? Do you know how to deal with judgmental people like this? Maybe it's not on purpose, but they make you feel guilty all over again for something that happened a long time ago. In their mind they just can't see all the changes and progress in your life. And they don't see who you have become and where you're going now. This can be so frustrating at times. In this episode of Freedom Friday, we talk about a few things you can do when people get judgmental. Let me know what works best for you.

325 – Jesus's Promise of Wholeness

11/11/2025
325 – Does your life ever feel incomplete? How often do you feel like there’s something missing in your life? It could be a relationship, a better job, enough money to pay the bills, better health. It could go deeper than that. You might feel like your life is incomplete because you don’t know what your higher sense of purpose is, and if you do, you’re not sure how to fulfill it. Why is it that most of us at some time or another feel like something is missing in our lives? We don’t feel complete or whole. Maybe even if you have all the outward signs of success, on the inside, you may still feel incomplete. In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about Jesus’s perspective on what it means to be whole and how to catch his vision to experience our wholeness, our completeness as children of God. If Jesus was here today physically like he was 2,000 years ago, he would see your wholeness and show it to you. The good news is Christ is here today revealing your spiritual wholeness to you through the Holy Spirit. ∞∞∞∞∞∞ SHOW NOTES: Full transcript and all Bible quotes––thebiblespeakstoyou.com/325 Text me your questions or comments.

319 – Getting Back to Bible Basics

10/21/2025
319 – It's time to get back to Bible basics Have you ever been in a conversation about the Bible with someone who is so caught up in some minute detail of something the Bible mentions only once, maybe twice? But the way the conversation is going, it sounds like it's the most important thing in the whole Bible? Maybe you’ve seen it happen when you’re watching a Bible-based video on social media where all the attention is focused on something very obscure or rarely mentioned in the Bible. But they’re acting like it’s the key that unlocks the mysteries of the universe. Sometimes the human mind gets distracted by details that aren’t as important as we think they are, or try to convince others, they are. In today’s episode, we’re talking about the deep need to stop getting distracted by peripheral bits of Bible information and to focus more on the overall and more important messages of the Bible. How would you summarize the main themes in the Bible. At the end of the episode you'll hear the five things I came up with. ••••••••••• Show notes: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes in this episode: thebiblespeakstoyou.com/319 Text me your questions or comments.

317 – Why You Need the True Spirit of Evangelism Today

10/14/2025
317 – What do you think of when you hear the word "evangelism"? Is it a good thing? Or does it make you cringe? All too often evangelism today has a negative connotation with some folks. The word is often associated with Christians, who may or may not be imbibing the true spirit of Christ. Others, even many within the Christian church, get evangelism and proselytizing mixed up. They don’t want to be too pushy in sharing their faith, so they don’t share it at all. They don’t like people who try to forcefully manipulate them to believe in Christ the way a pushy salesman tries to make a sale. And they don’t want to be that person. There’s a huge need within the Christian church as a whole to return to the original meaning of the word evangelism.

316 FF – Why Do I Feel Guilty Even After I Repented?

10/10/2025
316– Welcome to Freedom Friday Ever wondered why you still feel guilty, even after you repented? Being free from guilt is so much more that just repenting. It's really about learning to see yourself in a whole new light, as a child of God instead of as a miserable sinner. Paul says to put off the old man, be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new man. He doesn't say to fix up the old man, the old way of seeing yourself as a sinner. Sin does not define who you are. Only God does. The more you see yourself the way God defines you as His image and likeness, the more you'll find freedom from any and all guilt.

314 FF – What Does it Really Mean to Repent?

10/3/2025
314 – Welcome to Freedom Friday What does it really mean to repent? It's not just feeling sorry for something you did wrong. It goes much deeper. It's really about getting a deeper spiritual perspective on who you are, who God is, and how much He loves you. It's about looking at things from the perspective of what is already true in heaven and letting go of old habits and negative ways of thinking that lead to sin. When you see how much God loves you right now in the kingdom of heaven, the desire to sin and the guilt you feel what what happened in the past, begin to dissolve.

313 – Do You and Your Church Really Want to Grow Spiritually?

9/30/2025
313 – How much do you and your church really want to grow spiritually? A lot of churches are struggling these days with dwindling membership numbers, but just getting more warm bodies in the pews on Sunday morning is not necessarily a solution or a fulfillment of your church’s mission. The real need, which is not a new idea, since Jesus talked about it 2,000 years ago, is to be hungry and thirsty for things of the Spirit. A church that is on fire with the Holy Spirit is a very attractive place to be. Going through the same church routines without the Holy Spirit can be rather boring. In this week’s episode we’re going to talk about one of the most crucial aspects of a healthy, prospering church. We each need it as individual church members and we need it collectively as a church body. It's all about spiritual growth, individually and collectively as a church. To grow spiritually, you have to really want to grow spiritually. You have to be hungry and thirsty for righteousness, not just mildly interested in a way that doesn’t require too much effort on your part. How hungry and thirsty are you and your church to be more like Jesus, to think like he did, to pray like he did, to love like he did, to heal like he did?

311 – Loving Your Neighbor So They Know They're Loved

9/23/2025
311 – Do the people you love know you love them? Have you ever felt a deep sense of love and affection for someone, but they had no clue you cared so much about them? All too often someone feels unloved, while people actually do love them, but they never tell the person or express their love in a tangible way. In this week’s episode we’re going to talk about the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself from a little different angle: Don’t just tell people you love them, although that is important. Show them your love by how you treat them, how you listen to them, how you’re patient with them, how you help them, and what you do unexpectedly to bring them joy. And the beautiful thing in doing this is, when you let someone know you love them and express that love in a way they feel loved, you will feel more love as well. ∞∞∞∞∞∞ Previous episodes mentioned this week: Episode 4: Are You Afraid to Love as Much as Jesus Did?

310 – Talking Face to Face with God

9/16/2025
310 – Do you ever look God in the face? It's probably not on the top of your to-do list. It’s probably not something you think about very often or even consider as a possibility. In fact, you may not want to talk to God face to face, for a variety of reasons. And what does that even mean, to look at God this way? To talk to God this way? Doesn't the Bible say you can't see God's face? Yes it does, but it also talks about Moses and God talking face to face. This week's episode jumps into the idea of You can talk face to face with God at any moment for any reason. You might have something on your mind. You might feel the need to repent. You might have a question. You might just want to express gratitude and tell God you love Him. But you don’t have to have an agenda. You can just ask God what He thinks, what He sees, what He’s doing, how He loves or what He wants you to do. Previous episodes mentioned this week: Episode 37: You Are the Image and Likeness of God.

309 – Why You Need to Repent, but Don’t Want to, and How You’ll Be Blessed When You Do

9/9/2025
309 – What’s your first thought when someone says, “You need to repent.”? Does it make you uncomfortable or uneasy? Or do you agree and admit to yourself that you do need to repent? It might depend on the context and tone of voice someone uses to say those words, but all too often it happens during a sermon that sounds like a shouting match with the preacher yelling at his audience, using fear and emotional triggers to convince them of the consequences if they don’t stop sinning. Some people are turned off by this approach and others take the message to heart and try to reform their lives. Repentance is a crucial part of being a follower of Christ, but sometimes the word is misunderstood and the full blessing of repentance is lost.

308 – Do you ever feel separated from God? Maybe because of something hurtful someone said or did to you? Or maybe because of bad choices you made that weren’t good for you or someone else? Or maybe it’s just because of all the problems the world is facing right now? Where is God in all this? Sometimes God does seem far away. In this week’s episode we’re going to talk about God’s nature as omnipresent, that God is everywhere, what that actually means, and how it affects your life. You are never separated from God or God’s love for you, which was and is manifested through Christ. You are in the presence of God, now and always. And you have the ability to be aware of this. Whenever you feel God is far away, remember this prayer of affirmation—and say it as often as you need to, "I am in the presence of God."

307 – God Wants a Covenant Relationship with You

8/26/2025
307 – How often do you think about your relationship with God? Not very often, once in a while, maybe a lot, maybe even every day? What kind of a relationship do you have or would like to have with God? Maybe a more important question is: What kind of relationship would God like to have with you? God has infinite love for you and is always willing and able to support you. In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about a deeper kind of relationship, called a covenant, which God had with people in the Bible and how that relates to us today. And we’ll talk about why God wants a covenant relationship with you, what that means, and the blessings it brings.
