Control – Chapter two of ‘Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Reading This’

Control – Chapter two of ‘Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Reading This’
“Why can’t I stop doing what I know as a follower of Jesus that I shouldn’t be doing? Why are so many of us unable to control what we so naively thought we could? Here’s a thought: what if we fail in controlling our sexual sin not because we can’t control it, but because we like it? What if the reason we keep going back to the place that we hate and do the things we abhor is that deep down, doing what we hate makes us feel better about what our deeper problem is? What if we’re just going about it all wrong?” In today's episode of The Hope Podcast, you'll have the opportunity to listen to the second chapter of my book Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This. Give it a listen, share it on your social media, and make sure to delve into the book if you haven't had the chance yet.

Denial - Chapter one (and Intro) of ‘Don’t Tell Anyone You’re Reading This’
I'm thrilled to announce that there's some exclusive content coming your way on The Hope Podcast for the remainder of the year. Make sure to stay tuned and catch every episode – I mean it! In today's episode, you'll have the opportunity to hear the introduction and the first chapter of my latest book, Don't Tell Anyone You're Reading This. As Janet wrote, “I think this book is a must read for anyone dealing with shame and a longing for healing, whether the struggle is of a sexual nature or something else that has become an idol in one’s life.” Give it a listen, share it on your social media, and make sure to delve into the book if you haven't had the chance yet. In a culture immersed in all things sexual, the battle for godliness is real. It's time to take an honest look at our competing desires and eliminate anything that stands in our way of intimacy with Christ.    ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra founded Living with Power Ministries and is a popular Bible teacher, podcaster, and conference speaker.

I am confident because of the cross [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #7]
In today’s podcast we’ll continue our study of Hebrews and see how Jesus, the exalted Son and high priest provides full cleansing from sin and open access to God – the reality that the Old Testament anticipated but was never meant to accomplish. In view of understanding who Christ is, the author of Hebrews encourages Christians to hold firmly to their faith in His work in spite of adversity. Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. – Hebrews 10:35-36 If you feel challenged to reconcile the victorious Christian life with the trials we’re facing, take a listen to this episode!   ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra founded Living with Power Ministries and is a popular Bible teacher, podcaster, and conference speaker.

I am confident because He is faithful [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #3]

I am confident because He is faithful [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #3]
One of the greatest battles we encounter as followers of Christ is the struggle against unbelief. When our prayers go seemingly answered, when we don’t see the results we hoped for, when life hurls one curveball after another, we’re tempted to succumb to fear, disappointment, and to forget who is on our side. In Hebrews chapter 3, the author is making a point that one of the most effective ways to fight unbelief is to consider Jesus, to think carefully about Him (Hebrews 3:1). By considering Him we will come to the realization that He is faithful, and that is all the confidence we need in the face of anything that comes our way. If you’re going through a difficult time today, this episode will help remind you of God’s faithfulness to His people, always. Won’t you trust that He will be faithful to you as well?   ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra founded Living with Power Ministries and is a popular Bible teacher, podcaster, and conference speaker.

I am confident because He is in control [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #2]

I am confident because He is in control [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #2]
Today we’re continuing The Confidence Series with a look at Hebrews chapter 2 where we will recognize another reason we can be confident: because God is in control. Much like us today, the early Christian believers were living in tumultuous times. They confronted injustice, endured suffering, and grappled with a sense of uncertainty, all of which tempted them to forsake their faith. In this context, the author of Hebrews reminds them, and us, that even when things look messy, when life is challenging, and our suffering seems to have no end, God is in control, and we can freely trust Him! Our confidence does not hinge on our immediate circumstances but is rooted in the One who holds the entirety of the universe and its unfolding history in His hands. Whatever difficulties you might be facing today, this podcast will encourage you to look to Him and find the confidence to go on.   ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra founded Living with Power Ministries and is a popular Bible teacher, podcaster, and conference speaker.

I am confident because He speaks [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #1]

I am confident because He speaks [THE CONFIDENCE SERIES #1]
I’m so excited to welcome you back to a new podcast series through the book of Hebrews I called The Confidence Series: How to fully trust God when I don’t see the way. How do we navigate times of adversity victoriously? What do we need to stand unshaken in a rapidly changing culture? How do we replace our insecurities with immovable faith? How do we overcome disappointments and experience stability in the most unpredictable of times? The author of Hebrews knows the answer—CONFIDENCE in God. Writing to a people living in turbulent times, challenged to reconcile the victorious Christian life with the trials they were facing and tempted to abandon their faith completely, the author of Hebrews urges believers to remain confident because of the things they know to be true about God. I believe that now, more than ever, we need to become more God-confident and to remain steadfast in our resolve to follow Christ.  ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra founded Living with Power Ministries and is a popular Bible teacher, podcaster, and conference speaker.

Unshaken faith when I am thirsty for more [ UNSHAKEN 30]
Have you ever felt restless or dissatisfied, despite having success, possessions, or even fulfilling relationships? God has placed within each of us a holy discontent, a stirring, a desire for something more. It's a longing that cannot be satisfied by anything else but a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. In today’s podcast we’ll look at Revelation 22 and delve into God’s invitation to us, the blessings that are still to come to those who seek Him, as well as learn how to cultivate a desire for more of God. Hey, we’ll take a break from podcasting for the rest of August, but I can’t wait to share what’s next on the Hope Podcast! Until then, may your thirst be quenched by the living water that is Jesus Christ.   ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra founded Living with Power Ministries and is a popular Bible teacher, podcaster, and conference speaker.
