    Ask Of Me - An Invitation To Experience Divine Favor

    What do you want that only God can do? Throughout Scripture, God gives us an extraordinary invitation: "Ask of Me". Think about what that means—the God who possesses all things invites you to bring Him something from your own heart, giving you the opportunity to custom-build a way for Him to love on you. A personal desire. A personal answer. A personal display of His power and favor in your life. What does that invitation reveal about how God sees you? And what could happen if you truly believed that His favor toward you is already there? In this episode, we explore the powerful meaning behind the words “Ask of Me.” Listen and discover how this simple invitation reveals just how personal God’s love is—and just how special you are to Him.

    Prayer Is Not Passive!

    Prayer was never meant to be passive. It has purpose, power, and meaning—and it was designed by God to be an active part of our everyday lives. Prayer is more than something we do at church or turn to when life gets difficult. It reaches beyond the natural, involves the supernatural power of God, and carries the potential to bring real change into our lives and the world around us. So what should we expect when we pray, and what does it mean to pray with purpose and expectation? In this episode we look at what Jesus and the Scriptures reveal about the purpose and power of prayer. Listen and discover why your prayers matter—and what can happen when you stop praying passively.

    What Real Faith Looks Like

    What does real faith actually look like? Is it denying reality, forcing yourself into faith, or trying harder to make God’s promises happen? Faith is not something you manufacture through willpower. But Scripture reveals that faith isn’t forced—it’s grown.  In this episode, we explore what the Bible teaches about the fruit of faith through the lives of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and the heroes of Hebrews 11. Listen and discover how abiding in God transforms your heart—and what faith truly looks like in everyday life.

    The Heart Of Real Faith

    What is real faith? Is faith only about receiving from God—or is there something deeper at the heart of biblical faith? Many believers know the language of faith: believe God, trust God, walk by faith, receive His promises. But in a world focused on results, victories, and blessings, it’s easy to miss what Scripture reveals about the true heart of faith. In this episode, we explore what the Bible says about faith through the lives of Solomon, David, and the heroes of Hebrews 11. Listen and discover how your relationship with God becomes the foundation of real faith.

    Are You Ready For Perilous Times?

    Are you ready for the perilous times the Bible warns about? Scripture says that in the last days difficult and dangerous seasons will come—times that place intense pressure on the faith and hearts of believers. As culture moves further from God’s ways, the pressure to compromise, grow frustrated, or allow your love to grow cold only increases. In this episode we look at what the Bible says about these perilous times and the spiritual pressure they bring. Listen and discover how God has equipped you to stand strong in perilous times.

    Are You Ready?? For the PERSECUTION that's coming.

    If following Jesus cost you friendships, opportunities, or the acceptance of people around you, would you be ready? It’s easy to feel strong in your faith before that faith costs you something. In Are You Ready for the Persecution That’s Coming?, Chad Giddens asks believers to prepare their hearts for opposition because of their faith in Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 10, Matthew 24, and Hebrews 10, he explores what persecution can look like, the pressure it puts on believers, and why preparation needs to begin before that pressure arrives. The challenge is more than enduring mistreatment. Will you remain faithful to Jesus without becoming bitter, closing your heart, or letting your love for others grow cold? Chad explains why determination alone is not enough and points to a personal, daily relationship with God as the foundation for standing strong. Through Scripture, prayer, fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and connection with your local church, you can begin preparing now. This episode calls you to examine your readiness—and respond to persecution with steadfast faith, love, and the power of God. In this episode: • Recognizing opposition without responding in anger • What the early church experienced when faith came at a cost • How hurt and offense can cause love to grow cold • Learning to pray for people who mistreat you • Building personal roots through Scripture and prayer • Remaining a light to others in difficult times Key Scriptures: Matthew 10:22; Hebrews 10:32–34; 2 Timothy 3:1–3; Matthew 5:10–12; Matthew 24:9–13; Matthew 5:44–45; Luke 23:34; 1 John 4:4. Chapters: 00:00 Are You Ready for the Persecution That’s Coming? 03:51 What Persecution Looks Like 06:05 Doing Good Does Not Prevent Opposition 09:53 Lessons from the Early Church 12:34 When Faith Comes at a Cost 14:09 Hostility and Unequal Treatment 18:37 Strength for Difficult Times 20:22 Prepare Your Heart Before Pressure Comes 22:12 Will Hurt Turn into Offense? 25:36 Keeping Your Love from Growing Cold 28:48 Love, Bless, Do Good, and Pray 30:26 What Comes Up in Your Heart? 31:47 A Time to Show Grace 33:48 Be Ready Through Your Relationship with God 37:07 Standing in Faith and Hope Put it into practice: Read Matthew 5:44–45. Think of someone who has treated you poorly, and notice what comes up in your heart. Ask God to help you pray for that person with mercy and sincerity. Make time each day for Scripture, prayer, and an honest examination of your own response.

    Your Partnership With Grace

    Have you ever wanted to change, but felt like you didn’t have what it takes? You’re desperate for things to be different, but you’ve tried—and failed—so many times that you’re wondering whether you can really change. In Your Partnership With Grace, Chad Giddens explores grace as God’s power at work in us, helping us walk in His will because He loves us. Through 2 Peter 1, Chad examines both God’s provision and our response: knowing Him personally, adding to our faith, developing self-control, and growing in love. He explains why knowing Bible verses is different from taking the Word into our hearts and living by it. Using examples from his own Bible study and marriage, Chad encourages listeners to identify a practical next step. He emphasizes that grace is not about doing everything right; it is about giving God access to help us grow. In this episode: • Grace is God’s power at work in our lives • Everything needed for life and godliness • Why scriptures alone can't change you • Where grace begins to multiply in your life • Taking a practical step beyond familiar comforts • Making room for God without trying to earn grace Key Scriptures: 2 Peter 1:2–7; Deuteronomy 30:19; 2 Corinthians 12:9; Galatians 5:22–23. Chapters: 00:00 Your Partnership With Grace 03:00 Grace Brings Life to You and Light to Others 04:44 What Is Grace? 05:49 Grace and Peace Can Multiply 07:29 Everything Needed for Life and Godliness 10:10 Partaking of the Divine Nature 13:04 Knowing God Personally 17:13 Start with Grace 19:19 Where Grace Begins to Grow 21:56 Self-Control, Perseverance, and Love 23:40 What Do You Need to Add? 26:30 Taking a Step Beyond Your Comfort Zone 28:11 Partnership Requires Adjustment 31:11 Grace Is Not About Doing Everything Right 32:48 Set Your Heart on God’s Will 34:33 Untangle Your Heart and Respond Put it into practice: Read 2 Peter 1:2–7. Ask God what you need to add, change, or set aside. Choose one practical response, such as taking notes during Bible study, making time for prayer, or showing kindness to someone difficult. Continue with that step while relying on His help. Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe to the Chad Giddens Podcast for more Bible teaching.

    Are You A Blessing Or Curse To Your Church?

    If you missed your next church service, would it matter to anyone? In Are You a Blessing or a Curse to Your Church?, Chad Giddens explores what changes when we attend church ready to give as well as receive. Drawing from Ephesians 4:16 and 1 Corinthians 12:25–27, Chad explains how every member of the body of Christ has something to offer. A smile, a greeting, a prayer, or a brief conversation can help someone feel loved and ready to receive. Ministry happens in the hallways and parking lot as well as from the platform. Chad shares how changing his own approach changed his experience of church, then offers three practical steps: imagine what God could do, pray with expectation, and participate. He acknowledges that some churches have problems; his focus here is the part each of us can play in caring for others. In this episode: • Why church is more than a place to receive • The value of simple kindness and encouragement • How every member contributes to the body of Christ • Why giving can prepare your own heart to receive • Preparing your heart before you arrive • Imagination, expectation, and participation Key Scriptures: Ephesians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 12:25–27; Philippians 4:8; Ephesians 1:17–18; Proverbs 4:23; Acts 20:35. Chapters: 00:00 Are You a Blessing or a Curse to Your Church? 02:41 More Than a Place to Receive 05:00 Small Acts of Kindness Matter 06:20 Every Part of the Body Has Something to Give 09:26 A Heart Ready to Give Is Ready to Receive 13:56 Changing How We Attend Church 17:47 Be Responsible with the Gift of Your Life 21:20 Connection Helps You Grow 23:20 Care for One Another 25:42 Prepare Before You Arrive 27:47 Never Attend Without Consideration 29:55 Imagination: What Could God Do? 31:37 Expectation: Pray for What God Can Do 33:39 Participation: Come Ready to Bless 35:51 Guard Your Heart 40:19 Get Ready for Your Next Service Put it into practice: Before your next church service, take a few minutes to imagine how someone could be encouraged, pray for the people and ministries there, and plan one simple way to show kindness. Set a reminder to arrive ready to give as well as receive. Share this episode with someone who needs encouragement, and subscribe to the Chad Giddens Podcast for more Bible teaching.
