Ep. 736 - What We Learn From Apostle Paul Choosing Joy in the Midst of Affliction - Josiah Bancroft

December 26, 2024 • Tina Griffin

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

December 23, 2024 • Tina Griffin

There is a significant amount of supernatural or dark behavior in today's Hollywood celebrity culture. Since the Covid pandemic, more and more Americans are beginning to realize the negative impact that pop stars and "idols" have had on society. Kevin Thom, also known as King Kat, delved into celebrity culture during the pandemic and has since become a successful Christian content creator with a strong presence on social media. He discusses the Satanic symbolism associated with popular singer Taylor Swift and the questionable influences in her life, as well as the mysterious and ritualistic culture behind the scenes in Tinseltown, involving figures like Jay-Z and Marina Abramović. TAKEAWAYS John Calvin said that the human heart is an idol factory If we do not protect our eyes and ears, we could easily be molded into Satan’s image by our poisonous culture Just because you choose NOT to worship God doesn’t mean that you’re not worshiping something Taylor Swift’s two biggest influences are Clara Bow (sex symbol) and Stevie Nicks (professing witch) 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Donate to Counter Culture Ministries: https://bit.ly/3wganmo Taylor Swift Debate video: https://bit.ly/3qg7sh6 Blurry Creatures Podcast: https://www.blurrycreatures.com/http://www.blurrycreatures.com/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH KEVIN THOM Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kingkat2.0/http://www.instagram.com/kingkat2.0 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@king-kathttp://www.youtube.com/@king-kat 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY TruPlay (get 30% off with code Tina30): https://truplay.games/counterculturemom TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina Gabb: Gabb: http://gabb.com/tina VidAngel (get first month for $1 with code TINA): https://bit.ly/4dpg2vt 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/counterculturemom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/fpmccmshow 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageccm 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap & 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/ccm23impactreport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/
