  • The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves

    The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves
    Jul 11 2025
    The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves is a powerful devotional that explores Peter’s journey from boldness to denial—and Jesus’ divine insight into his heart. It reminds us that even when we believe we’re ready, God’s timing is intentional. Jesus sees not only who we are now, but also who we are becoming. If you’re feeling stuck in a season of waiting or wondering why God hasn’t “put you in the game,” this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and comfort. ✨ Highlights: Luke 22:31–34 sets the scene: Jesus warns Peter about Satan’s plans—and reveals Peter’s future denial. Peter, full of confidence, says he’s ready for prison or death… but Jesus knows the truth. The devotional reflects on how our zeal doesn’t always match our maturity—and how Jesus intercedes and lovingly guides us. Just like Peter, we may overestimate our readiness, but God sees the full picture of our hearts, trials, and future impact. Encouragement for believers who feel overlooked or underused: God plays the long game, and His plans are rooted in both mercy and foresight. 💬 Join the Conversation: We want to hear from you!

We're glad to have you listening with us. Today's topic is [share a few words about the devotional's main theme/topic]. We'll return with the devotional after a brief message from our sponsors." Take a 5-second pause, then say, "[Title of devotional] written and read by Deidre Braley." Then, proceed to read the devotional. The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves Luke 22:31-34: “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” Jesus said, “I tell you Peter, the rooster will not crow this day until you deny me three times.” If our faith journeys had mantras, mine would be, “Put me in, Coach!” I have always been chomping at the bit for God to put me in the game. If the world was a soccer match, I’d be the player on the sideline, jumping up and down with my hand raised screaming, “I’ve got this! Pick me! Pick me!” Sure, my footwork could use some precision and my endurance could stand a boost, but what I lack in raw talent I am certain I can make up for in spirit. This is how I imagine Simon Peter, too. Peter was the disciple who boldly named Jesus the Messiah (Matthew 16:16), who jumped out of his boat to walk on water towards Jesus (Matthew 14:28-30), and then who leapt out of his boat again to reach Jesus on the shore after his resurrection (John 21:7). He was impulsive, zealous, and earnest, and he seemed to be eager to be used by God. But on the night of his betrayal, Jesus turned to Peter and told him that Satan had demanded to “sift him like wheat,” and that he had prayed that Peter’s faith wouldn’t fail (Luke 22:31-32). Indignant, Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death” (Luke 22:33). It’s clear he believes his faith is solid as the rock he’s been named for; in this moment, he cannot conceive the possibility that it will falter. This moment is important because it shows that our own understanding of our capacities, abilities, and firmness of faith is not always in alignment with reality. Peter seemed to truly believe that he would go to prison or even death alongside Jesus, but when the moment of testing came, he was not able. Yet Jesus always knows the state of our hearts and content of our character more clearly than we see it ourselves. He indicates this in the conversation with Peter when he predicts that he will, in fact, deny him three times before morning even comes (Luke 22:34). But here’s something else Jesus sees which we can not: our capacity for growth—where we will be, someday. Jesus doesn’t turn to Peter and say, “You may or may not make it through this trial. Your faith may or may not crumble. Who knows how things will turn out for you?” He says, “And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:32, emphasis mine). He is certain that Peter will not only return with a renewed faith, but that he ...

  • Taking the Marriage Plunge

    Taking the Marriage Plunge
    Jul 10 2025
    Taking the Marriage Plunge: Why Commitment Still MattersIn today’s culture of overthinking, swiping, and fear of missing out, many Christian singles view marriage as too risky. But Lynette Kittle reminds us that God's design for marriage is not based on feelings or flawless partners—it’s rooted in faith, courage, and self-sacrifice, just as Christ laid down His life for the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Whether you’re navigating modern Christian dating or wrestling with the fear of commitment, this devotional offers a fresh and faithful perspective on why marriage is still worth the plunge. ✨ Highlights ✅ Christian marriage isn’t about finding the “perfect” person, but being willing to trust God through the unknown. ✅ Fear of commitment and the “what-ifs” can keep many from embracing God's purpose for marriage. ✅ WWII couples embraced marriage even in crisis—proving love often requires sacrifice over certainty. ✅ Ephesians 5:25 calls husbands to love sacrificially—marriage is spiritual warfare, not emotional convenience. ✅ In a culture that fears lifelong decisions, trusting God in marriage is a powerful act of obedience. 💬 Join the Conversation Has fear of the unknown held you back from marriage?Share how God is shaping your heart toward commitment and faith-filled relationships. Tag @LifeaudioNetwork with #MarriageIsWorthThePlunge and join others who are choosing to trust God's vision for love and lifelong partnership. 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: Taking the Marriage Plunge By Lynette Kittle “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her”-- Ephesians 5:25 Marriage seemed easier to attain decades ago, when high school sweethearts couldn’t wait to take the giant plunge into Holy Matrimony after graduation. Young, hopeful, and optimistic, they weren’t really considering all that could go wrong in a marriage, or thinking of the fears and changes that could occur. They just fearlessly took the plunge into it free from over-thinking it and the heaviness of countless “what ifs.” Also, during WWII, soldiers facing going to war, took the plunge and had the opportunity to wed their sweethearts before shipping out and thank goodness they did, too, or many of us wouldn’t be here today. Their heartfelt choices to marry before going off to fight helped to keep our nation growing and moving forward, because although thousands of young men would never return from battle, losing their lives in war, many still live on through their wives and children left behind. Marriage Is for Risk Takers Sadly, it seems nowadays, marriage is too risky of a union for many singles who over-think and fear how it could go wrong, trying to figure out the worst-case scenarios, keeping individuals at a distance from the very thought of saying “I do.” It’s paralyzing to countless singles, men and women afraid of missing out or choosing the wrong person, fearful of discovering a spouse isn’t as perfect as they first thought and reluctant to face the unknowns of unexpected struggles and difficulties. They want a sure-fire guarantee that their spouse-to-be is the “right one” and will remain who they think they are in the moment. As well, having the world at our fingertips has proven to be a bit overwhelming, with the possibility of finding a mate on the other side of the earth through social media, along with the available endless singles showing up daily on online dating sites, as well as the opportunity to swipe a new date multiple times a day. This global broadening of the dating pool, with the lookout for the next best girl or guy, is keeping men and women from committing, fearful of missing out on their dream person who might just be out there somewhere. Trending Plunges Although individuals clamored to join others around the world to take the “cold water plunge,” an act supposedly proving how gutsy and brave they are, are still running the other direction when it comes to taking the marriage plunge. During WWII, marriage was trendy because it was fueled by thousands of men facing the possibility of going to war and facing death. In comparison, the risk of marriage seemed far less risky than the risks of war. Still, the commitment to marriage and war seems similar, in that, both in wartime and holy matrimony, men are called on to give their all, including their lives, as the Apostle Paul explains in Ephesians 5:25 calling husbands to love their wives just like Christ loved the Church and laid down His life for her. Men giving up their lives for their wives began in the Garden of Eden, as explained in Genesis 2:24. “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Both in wartime and marriage, men are motivated to sacrifice ...

  • God’s Appointments for You

    God’s Appointments for You
    Jul 9 2025
    Why You’re Exactly Where God Wants YouIn Acts 17:26–27, Scripture reveals that God has intentionally placed you in this exact time and place in history. Your location, your generation, your circumstances—none of it is random. God designed your life with purpose so you would seek Him, grow in faith, and reflect His love to others. This devotional encourages you to stop wishing you were elsewhere and start recognizing the divine appointments in your everyday life. ✨ Highlights ✅ God’s divine timing is perfect—you were born for this generation. ✅ Your location matters—God placed you exactly where He wants to use you. ✅ Every opportunity and relationship is part of God’s bigger plan to draw you closer. ✅ Spiritual growth happens when we seek God in our current season, not a future one. ✅ You reflect God's light best right where you are. 💬 Join the Conversation How has God shown up in your here and now?Share your story on social and use #DivinelyPlaced to inspire others to trust God’s timing.

God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.” – Acts 17:26-27, NIV I sometimes fantasize for fun about what it would be like to live in other times in history and places in the world. If I had access to a time and space travel machine, I would love to use it to visit all sorts of eras and locations. I would visit my grandfather Jim, who died before I was born, at one of the general stores he operated in the 1930s and 1940s here in Virginia. Then I’d travel over to California to visit some of the classic movie stars whose movies I’ve enjoyed. Dialing back farther in history, I’d travel to meet a variety of world leaders and inventors I admire. Of course, I’d also visit Jesus during his earthly life. Beyond the past, I’d also enjoy traveling to the future – maybe to meet each of my great grandchildren in the places where they’ll be living then. But there’s one important factor in all that: the ability to return to my own time and place. I’d cancel all my trips back into history or forward into the future if they wouldn’t be round trips back to my life here and now. That’s because I want to fulfill God’s purposes for my life as he planned it. Acts 17:26-27 reveals that God has intentionally placed every one of us exactly where we are, at this specific time in history. He has good purposes for the times and places he appoints for each of us. God, in his unlimited wisdom and power, determined the exact time you would be born and the specific place where you would live. God has made divine appointments for your life! Why? The passage says it’s because God wants you to seek him and find him when you reach out. Every situation you face, every person you encounter, and every opportunity that comes to you in your life here and now is part of God’s plan to draw you closer to him by helping you grow spiritually. God knows the spiritual environment of your time and place. He understands the unique temptations and opportunities that exist when and where he’s appointed you to live. God has also given you everything you need to shine a light in the darkness of our fallen world here and now. The people around you – your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and more – are also there by God’s design. God has placed you among them for reasons that relate to his good purposes for all of your souls together. Your unique experiences and perspectives are shaped by your “appointed time and boundaries”. That helps you connect with the people you know in ways that someone from a different era or place couldn’t connect. Beyond giving you these specific appointments, God is present with you each day as you live them out. As this Bible passage says, God is not far from you. You can experience the wonder of God’s work in your life every day as you pay attention to it and let it inspire you with awe. So, the next time you find yourself fantasizing about living in another time and place, take a break to pray. Ask God what he wants to accomplish through you right here and right now. Embrace the reality that you are exactly where you’re meant to be, at exactly the right time in history. God has appointed you to live your life in this time and place, and he wants you to make the most of this opportunity by reaching out, growing spiritually, and enjoying a closer relationship with him.
