Waiting can feel exhausting and lonely, but God is never absent in the silence. This calming nightly prayer encourages believers to trust God’s timing and remain faithful during seasons of expectation and uncertainty.

How did a seven-year-old know she was about to die? Before her death on Memorial Day weekend 1992, Lauren drew a dark figure — a demon — hovering over a tree. That same tree branch would take her life that day. She was 7 years old. That drawing is what you see in the thumbnail. It is real. It has never been altered. In this testimony, a mother shares every detail of that day — and how God met her in the worst moment of her life with His presence, His peace, and His sufficient grace. This is a story about being led by the Spirit, releasing grief, and finding real joy after devastating loss. "Everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." — Isaiah 35:10 #JoyComesInTheMorning #ChristianTestimony #ChildLoss #GriefAndFaith #SufficientGrace #HealingTheBrokenhearted #SpiritualWarfare #BeingLedByTheSpirit #TrustingGod #FaithAfterLoss #LosingAChild #GodIsFaithful #HolySpirit #ChristianPodcast BOOKS & RESOURCES: Spiritual Warfare Blueprint for Your Family by Cyndi Foster — https://a.co/d/0dT5yyVa Joy Comes in the Morning by Cyndi Foster — https://a.co/d/06MJN6WE Need Ministry?

What happens when our desire for spiritual answers crosses the line into trying to control outcomes apart from God?

In this episode, Jaime and Alana dive into the fascinating—and somewhat controversial—topic of WITCHCRAFT within the church, specifically exploring how certain types of "prayer" might actually be rebellion in disguise. They discuss the critical difference between surrendering to God’s power and trying to manipulate our own destinies, the dangers of seeking hidden knowledge, and why praying to angels or treating manifestation as a spiritual shortcut crosses a firm scriptural boundary.

Alana highlights the historical weaponization of the word "witch" against spiritually independent women, sparking a deeper conversation about how the fear of overstepping can actually paralyze us and keep our prayers small.

Meanwhile, Jaime opens up about a time she unintentionally put a spiritual mentor on a pedestal, relying on her almost like a medium to hear from God, illustrating how easily our hearts can slip into unhealthy reliance even with the best intentions.

Along the way, they swap practical wisdom on navigating the gray areas of modern Christian culture. From the absurdity of spiritual charlatans who farm Facebook profiles for "prophetic words" to the harmless family tradition of reading restaurant fortune cookies, they offer a discerning yet grace-filled perspective on setting healthy boundaries without becoming paralyzed by fear or religious superstition.

Whether you are worried about overstepping in your prayer life, struggling with the urge to forcefully "manifest" your desires, or simply need a reminder that God wants you to pray boldly in His power rather than your own, we hope this episode encourages you to examine your heart, expect God's guidance, and confidently approach His throne of grace.

Life can become so loud that we struggle to recognize God’s voice. This peaceful prayer encourages you to slow down, seek solitude, and listen for the gentle whisper of God’s guidance and love.

Are you exhausted from trying to carry your calling alone?

Tonight’s prayer reminds us that flourishing comes from being deeply rooted in Christ and planted in the right spiritual environment. God never intended for us to grow in isolation.

Be encouraged tonight as you rest in His presence and ask Him to strengthen your roots.

"Pressure" director Anthony Maras joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss the incredible true story behind the new World War II thriller and the weather forecast that helped determine the fate of D-Day. Maras explains how Allied leaders faced impossible uncertainty as hundreds of thousands of troops prepared for the largest seaborne invasion in history. He also shares powerful lessons about leadership, courage and speaking truth to power through the story of meteorologist James Stagg. Plus, Maras reveals the unbelievable real-life coincidence involving Stagg’s grandson and the making of the film. Pressure is rated PG-13 for war violence, bloody images, some strong language, and smoking.

Jesus calls us to love others with compassion, even when it feels difficult. This encouraging prayer reminds us that small acts of kindness can reflect the heart of Christ.

Finding Peace in the Midst of Life's Storms: A Study of Psalm 121

House of David's Michael Iskander joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust at the 2026 K-LOVE Fan Awards to discuss why Bible-based stories are resonating with audiences around the world. He shares how portraying David transformed his faith, deepened his understanding of Scripture, and pointed him more fully toward Christ. Iskander also explains why he believes God is using media, music and storytelling to draw people into a deeper relationship with Him.

God never intended our faith to remain shallow. This nightly prayer encourages believers to grow in spiritual maturity, prayer, wisdom, and deeper love for the Lord.

Shame is one of the most powerful and painful emotions we experience, often leaving us feeling unworthy, unseen, and disconnected from God and others. But what if both neuroscience and Scripture revealed a pathway out of shame and into healing?

In this hope-filled episode of Your Hope-Filled Perspective, I’m joined by cohost Jessica Van Roekel to unpack how shame affects the brain, body, and spirit and how God’s truth can rewire our thinking, renew our identity, and restore our relationships. If you’ve ever wrestled with feelings of not being enough, this conversation will offer both the science and biblical encouragement you need to break free from shame and embrace who God says you are.

God created you to need rest. This encouraging prayer reminds us that slowing down is not weakness — it’s trusting God to care for us while we rest in His presence.

A mother heroically jumped into a pool to rescue her young son. The woman wasted no time, not giving a second thought before she leaped into the pool. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip of this mom diving into the pool to save her child.

There is nothing like being a parent. It’s an experience and a blessing unlike anything else on Earth. It’s easily one of the best, but at the same time, one of the most challenging and difficult things. The moment that little one enters your world, your life will forever and always be changed, for the better, in every way imaginable.

What mattered before that child’s arrival soon becomes much less important. As all parents know, priorities immediately change when that little one enters the picture. You’ll find yourself doing and thinking things you didn’t before becoming a parent. One of the things that happens, you’ve probably found, is that you become much more protective. We’d do anything possible to keep that child from experiencing hurt or pain, even putting our own lives and safety on the line.

That’s exactly what one mother did when she was faced with a frightening situation involving her child. The video posted on YouTube shows a 4-year-old who had fallen into the pool. Immediately after the child hits the water, loud, bone-chilling shrieks are heard. Moments after the little one falls into the water, the mother sprints into frame and leaps into the pool.

Thankfully, Mom reaches the young man in time before disaster strikes, lifts him out of the water and hands him to Dad, who is standing outside the pool.

The mother said that she sprang into action after seeing water splashing around and hearing the shrieks. Everything moved so quickly that she does not even remember diving into the water.

“You just can’t assume that someone else is watching your child,” she said.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

Incredible footage captured a plane colliding with a paraglider. The airborne crash sent the paraglider twirling, twisting and turning to the ground. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see the moment a plane ran into the paraglider.

As we all know, a fear of heights is very common, with a lot of people desperately wanting to remain on solid ground. Of course, some people have it worse than others. A few feet off the ground, or simply using a step ladder, is entirely too high for some people to withstand, and they begin to get that familiar, uneasy feeling in the pit of their stomach. For others, even thinking about climbing up to and looking several hundred feet down is enough to cause a cold sweat.

I am a member of the no-heights club, as I am known to vehemently refuse to climb up certain step passages and trails. Looking down and seeing how far I’ve gone? That is totally and completely out of the question. Who wants to do that anyway? Do people enjoy imagining how long they’d fall if they were to make a false move here or there? No, thank you.

While I do not have a fear of flying other people, for one reason or another, perhaps it’s due to the height, do. A clip posted on YouTube shows that if you did not have a fear of flying before, you may now think twice about flying or doing any other aerial activity.

In the video, a woman is out paragliding when, seemingly out of nowhere, a small plane comes by and hits her canopy. The mid-air collision sends her toward the ground. She twists and turns all the way down until she lands hard on the ground with a thud. The video states that she fell 2,000 feet in 2 minutes.

Luckily, and amazingly, the woman survived. She only suffered a couple of cuts, scrapes and bruises.

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not given you your orders? Take heart and be strong; have no fear and do not be troubled; for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

These students prove kindness is one of life’s greatest lessons. The youngsters are learning about being kind and why it’s so incredibly important. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to hear how the practice and lessons of kindness are making a difference in these schoolchildren’s lives.

The world is a cold, cruel and downright heartless place. Everywhere we look, we can find plenty of examples of people treating one another with hatred and contempt. From the profane, hate-filled messages posted on popular social media platforms, to every television broadcast and even to high-ranking, elected governmental leaders, people treat one another horribly.

Needless to say, we have a surplus of hate, division, ruthless and callous behavior in this world. But what we have way too little of are love, kindness, empathy and compassion, and that will always be the case. It’s impossible to have too much of any of them. There will never be a point where we reach our quota or our fill of kindness and say, “Well, we’ve got enough of that, time to be awful to each other again.”

However, what would happen if we were a little kinder to one another? What would our world look like if we exhibited more patience and gave someone a little grace and mercy? How would that change things? It certainly couldn’t make things any worse, right?

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of students is learning and being taught lessons about kindness, and what they have to say about it is pretty astonishing and jaw-dropping.

A third-grade teacher in Minnesota is not only teaching reading, writing and arithmetic, but he’s also sharing lessons about kindness, empathy and character. The teacher knows that those lessons are getting through to the kids because he’s witnessed them act them out.

“Just makes me want to be a better person,” one young lady said.

“I just want to help people out,” a second little girl added.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

"So Many Praises So Many Victories in Jesus Name!" by Bishop James Daughtry Glory to God who delivered me from enemies & haters: for they were too strong for me. He brought me into a large place; he delivered me, cause he delighted in me.

In a noisy, anxious, distracted world, many people are emotionally exhausted. We worry about money, health, relationships, the future, and whether life will ever truly feel settled. This Bible study explores where lasting peace actually comes from. Part 1 focuses on God’s promises of peace, rest, trust, and comfort — and also what quietly steals our calm. Anxiety, fear, comparison, striving, craving for more, and constantly worrying about the future can leave the soul restless. Part 2 will focus more deeply on contentment. The Bible does not teach passive denial or pretending life is easy. Instead, Scripture repeatedly calls us to actively trust God even while emotions are still catching up. Peace and contentment are first a choice and direction of the heart; feelings often follow later. This study includes passages on: • Trusting God through difficulty • Letting go of anxiety and worry • Seeking peace in our relationships • Finding rest in Christ • Learning contentment • Avoiding coveting and the endless craving for “more” • Fixing our minds on what is good and true Featured Scriptures: Psalm 18, Psalm 34, Psalm 37, Psalm 62, Isaiah 26, Matthew 11, Philippians 4, 1 Peter 5, John 14, Hebrews 13, 1 Timothy 6, Numbers 6 and more. Bonus future studies: • Psalm 121 — Trusting God with the future • Psalm 91 — God our refuge and fortress If this study encouraged you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who may need peace and hope today. #BibleStudy #Peace #Anxiety #TrustGod #ChristianLiving #Contentment #Faith #Worry #Stress #MentalHealth
