  • From Earthly Attachments To Eternal Hope With Sister Deb Osborne
    Feb 16 2026

    Send a text

    Some messages arrive like a tap on the shoulder; others like a bell. Today’s word rings clear: this world isn’t our home, and trying to settle here only deepens our restlessness. We open scripture and our hearts to reset what we chase, what we fear, and what we love—because where our treasure is, our hearts follow. If you’ve felt out of place, weary, or torn between comfort and calling, this conversation is a gentle but urgent nudge to travel lighter and live truer.

    We walk through core passages—Matthew 6, James 4, John 18, 1 John 2, Philippians 3, Hebrews 13—and build a grounded vision for life as citizens of heaven. Sister Deb unpacks the pilgrim mindset: hold possessions loosely, hold people closely, and hold on to Christ with both hands. Identity shifts everything. Citizens belong to a kingdom that cannot be shaken. Strangers remember they’re guests. Ambassadors live on purpose, carrying the words of their King into a world that aches for hope. That lens clears the noise: success stops being a scoreboard, suffering stops being a surprise, and daily choices become seeds for eternity.

    We anchor the hope with promises Jesus made: a prepared place, a future without tears, death, or pain, and the joy of his presence. Not escapism, but engagement with focus—serving, giving, telling the good news while refusing to be shaped by what will pass away. You’ll hear practical ways to set your mind on things above, embody holiness in a culture of hurry, and share the gospel with courage and kindness. And you’ll be invited to ask a better question: not how to make this world feel like home, but how to live ready for the one that is.

    If this spoke to you, share it with a friend who needs steady hope, subscribe for more Bible-centered encouragement, and leave a review so others can find the show. Where are you setting your treasure this week?

  • Bishop Jason Roberts The Unexpected Cross 2-08-2026
    Feb 13 2026

    Send a text

    A stranger is seized from the crowd and told to carry a cross that isn’t his—and suddenly the road to Calvary becomes a mirror for our own interruptions, anxieties, and costly obedience. We open Luke 23:26 and follow the story from the garden’s anguish to the whipping post and on toward Golgotha, where the weight of suffering meets the certainty of purpose. Along the way we explore why Simon of Cyrene wasn’t an accident but a provision, how “bearing it after Jesus” reframes discipleship, and what it means when God finishes the work we can’t complete.

    We talk about fear, depression, and spiritual warfare that try to break us before we arrive, and we point to the blood that speaks healing, courage, and hope. We challenge the myth that calling is comfortable, showing how providence often hides in inconvenience and how an unwanted burden can be the exact step God uses to move grace forward. We reflect on the crowd, the soldiers, and the illusion of control—then return to the truth that Jesus did not have His life taken; He gave it, right on time, to finish redemption.

    This conversation is practical as it is devotional. We share how a simple message from a friend can feel like Simon stepping beside you, lifting your load a few more steps. We invite you to look for those moments, to become that kind of friend, and to keep following even when the road is rough. Ready to see your interruptions as invitations and your fatigue as a place where God provides? Press play, share this with someone who needs strength today, and subscribe so you never miss a moment of hope and truth.

  • Days Of Noah, Now
    Feb 7 2026

    Send us a text

    A familiar hymn fades and the room settles, but the message that follows is anything but soft. We open Matthew 24 and wrestle with Jesus’ warning that the last days will look like the days of Noah: noisy with normal life, numb to spiritual truth, and sure that tomorrow is guaranteed. Through clear teaching and simple stories, we trace how hearts grow hard, how signs become background static, and why a culture that mocks the Word resembles a world just before the rain.

    We don’t stop at diagnosis. We walk through the core of Jesus’ call: stay awake, be ready, keep watch. Think of it like a check engine light for the soul—easy to ignore until it’s too late. From wars and rumors of wars to earthquakes and pestilence, the headlines echo Scripture, but the goal isn’t panic. It’s preparation. We talk about how to anchor your life in Scripture, especially Matthew 24 and Revelation, how to pray with steady focus, and how to build endurance when the enemy can’t take you out but tries to wear you down. The days of Noah had an ark; our hope now is Christ himself, the only sure refuge.

    This conversation is both urgent and hopeful. We read the signs without sensationalism, invite honest repentance, and point to a simple path of readiness: trust Jesus, align your daily habits with the Word, and help your family and friends do the same. Whether you’ve walked with God for years or you’re just now sensing that tug on your heart, you’ll find clarity, courage, and a loving push to move from delay to devotion. Listen, share it with someone who needs a wake-up call, and tell us what step you’re taking today. If this encouraged you, subscribe, leave a review, and help us get this warning—and this hope—to more hearts.

  • Truth Talk. Serving Something: Sin, Self, Or The Savior
    Jan 30 2026

    Send us a text

    What you obey, owns you. We dive straight into Romans 6:16 to confront a hard truth: every heart serves a master. From obvious chains like addiction to subtle ones like our phones, sports, or status, small daily choices become habits, and habits become a kind of worship. We talk candidly about how obedience shapes identity, why love for Jesus shows up as action, and how to spot the moments when distractions quietly steal our prime time and offer God the leftovers.

    Greg and Hubert trace the difference between fruit and root, pressing past surface behaviors to the deeper loyalties driving them. Expect practical examples, Scripture you can hold onto, and honest stories from work, church, and home that reveal how quickly seducing spirits promise freedom but deliver bondage. We unpack James’ call to submit to God and resist the devil, Jude’s charge to contend for the faith, and Jesus’ words that those who keep His commandments are the ones who truly love Him. Along the way, we explore why technology becomes an idol, how community protects conviction, and what it really means to guard your house and your time.

    This is a clear summons to choose: light or darkness, the Shepherd or the thief. If you’ve felt scattered, cynical, or stuck, use this conversation to reset your daily liturgy—Scripture before screen, prayer before plans, fellowship before isolation. Cling to Jesus, or everything else will cling to you. Subscribe for more Truth Talk, share this with someone who needs courage to choose well, and leave a review to tell us: what’s one habit you’ll exchange to give God your prime time?

  • Bible Talk: The Potter Wheel Clay And Courage
    Jan 27 2026

    Send us a text

    What if the parts of your life that feel beyond repair are exactly where God plans to begin again? We journey with Jeremiah into the potter’s house and watch a marred vessel become useful in the hands of a master. That vivid scene from Jeremiah 18 anchors a wider story—Judah’s stubborn drift into idolatry, the looming Babylonian exile, and a God who warns with truth yet waits with mercy. The tension is bracing: judgment was real, but so was the promise of restoration if the people would turn back.

    We explore three core lessons from the wheel that speak straight to modern hearts. First, the potter is always at work. Clay never shapes itself; God applies pressure, water, and patience, forming character in seasons that feel like spinning. Second, impurities resist formation. The potter stops, kneads, and removes what weakens—our pride, bitterness, and false comforts—so we can hold living water without collapsing. Third, God does not quit on marred clay. From David’s failure to Peter’s denial, Scripture shows a pattern of holy determination: God crushes what cannot stand so he can rebuild what will endure.

    Along the way, we name the hard places—addiction, relapse, fear, and shame—and frame repentance not as humiliation but as alignment with the truth that heals. Surrender becomes the turning point: clay doesn’t argue with the wheel; it yields to skilled hands. Through Scripture, testimony, and pastoral encouragement, we invite you to trust God’s timing, obey his word, and stay soft to his touch. You are not abandoned on the wheel; you are being crafted for purpose.

    If this message gives you hope, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review so more listeners can find practical, faith-filled encouragement. Then tell us: where do you sense the Potter’s hands at work today?

  • Bible Talk with your Host Deb Osborne Why Your Faith Needs A Stronger Foundation
    Jan 18 2026

    Send us a text

    Storms don’t wait for your schedule, and they don’t skip the faithful. We open the Bible to Matthew 7:24–27 and get real about why some lives stand while others crumble: both hear the word, but only one does it. This conversation moves past church routines and Christian slogans to the hard, hopeful core of discipleship—obedience that builds on the solid rock of Jesus Christ.

    We walk through the simple image Jesus gave us: two builders, one storm, two outcomes. You’ll hear why the promise of the gospel isn’t a storm-free life, but a storm-proof foundation. We talk about practical, daily habits that shift you from hearing to doing: treating Scripture as a living conversation, asking clear questions of the text, and moving your feet in response. From Matthew leaving his tax booth to the disciples distributing loaves, we show how action cements faith and how a practiced yes to Jesus becomes your anchor when rain, wind, and floods rise.

    We also press into the hope many miss: joy in trials is not denial, it’s growth. James teaches that pressure produces patience, and the Psalms remind us God is our rock, fortress, and defense. We contrast Christ’s righteousness with the false security of self-reliance, naming how sand can look neat until it slides. With a sober eye on chaotic headlines and personal battles, we invite you to choose your foundation today—open the word, pray “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening,” and act on what you hear. Subscribe for more Bible-centered encouragement, share this with someone facing a storm, and leave a review to help others find the show. What step of obedience will you take this week?
