What Do We Do When We Let Someone Down?

We’ve all failed someone. We’ve all disappointed someone. But God shows us exactly how to process it, heal from it, and walk forward in grace.

✔ We reflect (Lamentations 3:40, Romans 3:23)
✔ We refuse condemnation (Romans 8:1, Isaiah 43:18–19)
✔ We confess honestly (Proverbs 28:13, Proverbs 12:22, John 8:22)
✔ We accept God’s forgiveness (1 John 1:9, Isaiah 43:25)
✔ We extend grace to ourselves and others (Psalm 18:30, Proverbs 30:5)
✔ We let go of the past (Philippians 3:13–14, Ephesians 4:31–32)
✔ We guard our promises (Matthew 5:37)
✔ We stay humble (Romans 12:3)
✔ We believe in restoration (2 Corinthians 5:17)
✔ We grow from trials (Proverbs 2:6, James 1:2–5, Psalm 119:71)
✔ We stay connected to God’s people (1 Thessalonians 5:11, Hebrews 10:24–25, Psalm 92:12–13)

God has forgiven you. He is your shield, your refuge, and your rest.
Let go of what’s behind and press toward what’s ahead.

In this episode, we talk honestly about disappointment, regret, and the road to restoration. Everyone has failed someone—but God’s Word gives us a clear path back to peace, healing, and forward movement.1. Understanding the Reality of FailureRoman...

Managing Expectations: Trusting What Never Fails

We live with expectations every day—some big, some small. We expect people to show up, keep their word, and never fail us. But the truth is… people will fall short. Systems will break. Plans will change.

But there is One who never fails.

This message is all about learning the difference between human expectations (which can and do fail) and God-promised expectations (which never will). When our trust shifts from people to God, disappointment loses its power.

🔥 Key Scriptures:
Jeremiah 17:5 • Psalm 118:8–9 • Genesis 8:22 • Lamentations 3:22–23 • Romans 3:23 • Ecclesiastes 7:20 • Psalm 103:2 • James 1:17 • Luke 22:61–62 • Psalm 30:5 • Matthew 18:21–22 • Ephesians 4:32 • Hebrews 13:5 • Isaiah 40:8 • Matthew 6:26

If you’re carrying frustration, hurt, or unmet expectations—this message is for you.
Let God re-anchor your trust in the only One who never changes.

Change is hard — whether it’s the loss of a loved one, retirement, a new job, or a sudden shift you didn’t see coming. But what if the “new normal” isn’t something to fear… but an opportunity to grow closer to God? In this episode, we’ll talk about how to trust God’s plan when life looks different than it used to. We’ll look at how He led the Israelites through change, how He leads us today, and how surrendering, praying, and standing on His Word brings peace in uncertain times. Your new normal may just be the beginning of something miraculous.

In this encouraging episode, we explore the truth that while change is uncomfortable, it’s also a part of God’s divine plan. From the Israelites leaving Egypt to our modern struggles — like death, divorce, job changes, or retirement — every transi...

🎙️ Podcast Summary: “Stop Waiting to Die — Live”

Too many people start waiting for life to end long before God ever said their time was up.
This episode is a call to live again — to press on, to rediscover your purpose, and to trust that God still has more for you.

John shares a heartfelt message inspired by his father’s recent fall, aging, and the powerful truth that our later years are not meant for fading, but for fruitfulness.
We’ll look at how fear, doubt, and worry can rob us of joy — and how faith restores strength, peace, and purpose no matter our age.

You’ll hear encouragement from Scripture that reminds us:
• God renews our strength daily
• Aging is not the end, but a new beginning
• As long as you have breath, you have purpose
• The “dash” between your birth and your final day still pulses with God’s calling

Through stories of biblical heroes, faithful believers like Stonewall Jackson, and personal testimony, this episode will challenge you to stop living in fear, start walking in faith, and LIVE the life God has for you — right now.

“September 11th, 2001… a day I will never forget. I remember where I was, what I saw, and the conversations I had. Nearly 3,000 lives ended that day—343 firefighters, 37 Port Authority police officers, 23 NYPD, and so many more since.

But I also remember what happened on September 12. The skies were quiet, but the prayers were loud. We were hurting, but we were united. We turned to God, to His Word, and to each other.

Today, almost 25 years later, we’ve drifted. Instead of uniting, we’re divided. In just the past week—we’ve seen senseless violence, the murder of Iryna Zarutska, a school shooting in Colorado, tragedy at the Naval Academy, and the loss of a voice for Christ, Charlie Kirk. The same enemy that attacked us then—Satan and his forces—is still attacking us now.

This episode is a call to remember. To remember how we felt on September 12. To remember that we are at war—not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of darkness. To repent, to unite, and to rise with courage in Christ.

Because if not you, then who? And if not now… when?

Salvation is the starting line — judgment is the finish line.

But here’s the truth: salvation is a free gift through Jesus Christ… judgment isn’t about losing salvation, it’s about rewards.

And those rewards? Eternal crowns — given to the faithful, only to be laid back at the feet of Jesus in worship.

So let me ask you: Are you in the race? Are you running well? And what crown will you lay at your Savior’s feet?

Tune in to this week’s episode: Salvation and Judgment

🎧 Podcast: “Love That Perseveres”

What does real love look like when things get tough?
When patience wears thin, when people disappoint us, when life tests us—does our love endure?

In this episode, we explore the powerful connection between love and perseverance. Not just emotional love, but the kind of love described in:

📖 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 –

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast…
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
True, biblical love doesn’t quit when it gets hard. It endures, it forgives, it grows stronger in difficulty.

We also reflect on Colossians 3:12:

“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
💬 What are you wearing in this season of life—bitterness, resentment, frustration… or the clothes of love, grace, and perseverance?

This episode is a reminder:
🛑 Love is not just a feeling.
✅ Love is a decision to persevere.

Whether it’s in your marriage, your friendships, your faith, or your personal growth—love that endures will always make a difference.

🎙️ Tune in and be encouraged to love like Jesus—even when it’s hard.

🙌 NEW PODCAST EPISODE: The Power of Your Testimony 🎙️
Your story isn’t just yours—it’s a tool in God’s hands. 💥

The enemy is defeated not only by the blood of Jesus—but by YOUR testimony.
🕊️ “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…” — Revelation 12:11

In this episode, we break down why sharing your testimony is so important:

❤️ 1. Start with Love
Jesus told us to love like He did. That means we care enough to share our story.
📖 John 13:34–35 — “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples…”
🎣 Matthew 4:19 & Mark 1:17 — “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

🆔 2. Know Who You Are in Christ
You’ve been given power, love, and a sound mind. Don’t let fear stop you!
📖 2 Timothy 1:7–8 | Luke 12:12 | Exodus 4:12 | Romans 12:2 | Ephesians 4:22–28
📖 1 John 4:20 — If you know who you are, you can boldly share with others.

🤝 3. Be Relatable
People don’t connect to perfection—they connect to real stories. Your honesty may be the key to someone else’s breakthrough.

🔥 Someone is waiting to hear how God brought you through.
