Give us the courage to look honestly at our choices, our behaviors, and the places where we may have drifted from You. Like Ezra, help us not only to learn Your Word, but to practice it and allow it to shape the way we live. As we study, speak to each of us personally. Show us what we need to notice, what we may need to change, and what step of faith You may be asking us to take. May this time together draw us closer to You and remind us that restoration is possible when we are willing to return to Your presence. Guide us in our encounter with You. Give us wisdom to identify what needs our attention. And give us courage to course correct. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    When Gossip Becomes Counterfeit Connection

    Edge God In Podcast 337: When Gossip Becomes Counterfeit Connection EdgeGodIn.com | Host: Lauren E Miller Championing Human Potential in Christ Download Bible Study Template Learning Objective: Recognize how gossip can become a counterfeit source of self-esteem and connection, identify its impact on relationships, and choose direct, respectful, and biblically grounded communication that protects dignity and promotes reconciliation. Scriptures: Matthew 18: 15-20 Romans 13:8-10 Prayer: Dear Lord delivery me from the tendency to share another person’s story many times because of my own insecurities. Help me to rejoice in the success of others over my own and ground my sense of worth and value in you, an unshakable anchor of identity. Aquinas’s discussion includes sorrow over another’s good, pleasure in another’s misfortune, and attempts to damage someone’s reputation. Tale-bearing Carrying stories between people in ways that create conflict, division, or mistrust. Tale-bearing does not simply damage a reputation; it can damage a relationship. Detraction Sharing another person’s faults or failures—even when the information is true—when there is no legitimate need for others to know it. Before speaking, ask: Is it true—and does this truth need to be shared with this person? Delight in another person’s misfortune Feeling secretly pleased when someone fails, loses influence, or experiences difficulty because it makes us feel better about ourselves. Sorrow over another person’s good fortune Feeling diminished, resentful, or threatened when someone else succeeds, receives recognition, or experiences something good.

    The Book of 1 Chronicles: When Faith is tested

    Edge God In Podcast 336: The Book of 1 Chronicles: When Faith is tested EdgeGodIn.com | Host: Estella Chavous Championing Human Potential in Christ Download Bible Study Template Learning Objectives By the end of this podcast and Bible study, participants will be able to: Understand the biblical context and major themes of 1 Chronicles, including identity, remembrance, leadership, worship, covenant, preparation, service, and spiritual legacy. Recognize how remembering God’s faithfulness can strengthen our identity and help us remain grounded during seasons of change. Identify behaviors, attitudes, and priorities that can either strengthen or weaken our relationship with God and our ability to fulfill what He has entrusted to us. Apply the EIC (Encounter–Identified Behavior–Course Correct) Framework to examine their relationship with God, their priorities, leadership, service, and preparation for what God is calling them to do. Develop greater spiritual confidence, intentionality, humility, and faithfulness as they seek to build lives that honor God and positively influence others. Three key areas of understanding: Remember Your Story Your Assignment Does Not Have to Look Like Someone Else’s Faithfulness Is a Form of Worship Scriptures: 1 Chronicles | Colossians 3:23 | Galatians 6:4 | Galatians 6:4 | Deuteronomy 8:2 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | Romans 12:1 | 1 Corinthians 3:6 | Psalm 77:11 | 1 Chronicles 29:11 | 1 Chronicles 28:20 | 1 Chronicles 28:9 | 1 Chronicles 16:11 Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word and for the reminder that our lives are part of a story much greater than ourselves. As we begin our study of 1 Chronicles, help us understand the importance of remembering where we have come from, recognizing who we are in You, and understanding what You have entrusted to us. Teach us to value preparation as much as accomplishment. Help us understand that sometimes You call us to build, and sometimes You call us to prepare someone else to build. Give us the humility to serve when we are not receiving recognition. Give us the wisdom to prepare when the results are not yet visible. Give us the courage to lead with integrity and the discipline to remain faithful in the small things. Help us remember Your faithfulness in our past so that we can trust You with our future. Show us anything in our lives that needs to be realigned. Help us place You at the center of our priorities, our relationships, our work, our leadership, and our purpose. May our lives become an offering of worship to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    The Book of 2 Kings: When Faith is Tested

    Edge God In Podcast 334: The Book of 2 Kings: When Faith is tested EdgeGodIn.com | Host: Estella Chavous Championing Human Potential in Christ Download Bible Study Template Learning Objectives By the end of this podcast and Bible study, participants will be able to: Understand the biblical context and major themes of 2 Kings, including leadership, spiritual decline, prophetic ministry, judgment, and God’s faithfulness. Recognize how fear, cultural influence, and spiritual compromise can affect our ability to trust and follow God. Identify behaviors, attitudes, and influences that may gradually move them away from their relationship with God. Apply the EIC (Encounter–Identified Behavior–Course Correct) Framework to examine their faith, choices, and responses to difficult circumstances. Develop greater spiritual discernment, courage, and trust in God when facing uncertainty, opposition, or circumstances they cannot control. Five key areas of understanding: What We See Is Not Always the Whole Story Spiritual Compromise Happens Gradually God Remains Faithful Even When People Are Not Scriptures: 2 Kings 6:16-17 | Deuteronomy 31:8 | Joshua 1:9 |2 Corinthians 5:7 | James 1:14–15 | 2 Timothy 2:13 | Psalm 34:7 | Proverbs 4:23 | Hebrews 11:1 Heavenly Father, Thank You for reminding us that what we see is not always the complete picture. When fear surrounds us, open our eyes. When uncertainty overwhelms us, strengthen our faith. When we are tempted to compromise, give us discernment and courage. When we drift away from You, draw our hearts back. Help us recognize that Your presence is greater than our circumstances and Your faithfulness is greater than our fears. Teach us to pause before reacting, to seek Your wisdom before making decisions, and to trust You even when we cannot see what You are doing. Open our spiritual eyes so that we may see Your presence, Your protection, and Your purpose. Help us walk by faith and not by sight. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
