In this episode, you’ll learn: • Why the resurrection was not a random event • How Passover foreshadowed Jesus as the Lamb of God • What the Bible means by “holy convocations” or holy rehearsals • How Jesus fulfilled the spring feasts with exact precision • Why the timing of the crucifixion matters • What the Feast of Firstfruits reveals about the resurrection • How God’s plan of redemption was established long before the cross If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament connects to the resurrection of Jesus, this teaching will give you a deeper appreciation for the accuracy of Scripture and the incredible detail of God’s redemptive plan.

    How to Defeat Spiritual Attacks | Episode 291

    What does it mean to “rule the night”… and why did Jesus call believers the light of the world? In this episode, Bryan Cutshall explores the prophetic meaning behind the sun, moon, and light in Genesis 1, revealing how creation itself points to Jesus Christ and the authority given to believers. By connecting the creation story with the teachings of Jesus, this message uncovers how God designed His people to shine in darkness rather than live in fear of it. Why did God assign the sun to rule the day and the moon to rule the night? Could this have been a prophetic picture of Christ and His church from the very beginning? Most people read the fourth day of creation as simply the moment God created the sun and moon. But Bryan Cutshall explains how these lights reveal a deeper spiritual picture. Jesus declared, “I am the light of the world,” and then later told believers, “You are the light of the world.” This teaching explores how Christ represents the greater light while believers are called to reflect His light into dark places. This episode examines spiritual authority, dominion, and the danger of living in constant fear of spiritual attacks. Bryan Cutshall teaches why believers should have greater confidence in the power of God than in the power of darkness, while exploring the role of worship, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and the presence of God in overcoming fear and spiritual oppression. More than a teaching about spiritual warfare, this message is a reminder that darkness cannot overcome the light of Christ and that believers were created to walk in courage, authority, and victory through the power of God. 📺 Watch the Full Episode here: https://youtu.be/Tl-d7tTI03E 📩 Sign up for my newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/churchtrainer/newsletter-sign-up 🤝 Support our mission: Become A Partner ________________________________________ – FOLLOW ME – 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrBryanCutshall 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryancutshall/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/bryancutshallministries _______________________________________ Visit my websites: 🌐 Bryan Cutshall: www.bryancutshall.com Biblical teaching | Books | Resources   🏛️ Church Trainer: www.churchtrainer.com Church leadership | Ministry tools | Training   🎓 ISOW (International School of the Word): www.isow.org Online Bible courses | Spiritual growth | Ministry training

    How to Overcome Anxiety Naturally and Biblically | Episode 290

    What does the Bible actually say about anxiety… and could one of the simplest things God designed the human body to do help bring peace to your mind and emotions? In this episode, Bryan Cutshall explores the biblical and practical connection between anxiety, the body, and the power of movement. Through Scripture, personal insight, and practical understanding of how the body responds to stress, this teaching reveals why walking can become a powerful tool in overcoming fear, emotional paralysis, and mental exhaustion. Why does the Bible repeatedly connect faith with walking? Could forward motion physically, mentally, and spiritually help break cycles of anxiety and fear? Most people think of anxiety as only a mental struggle, but this teaching explains how anxiety affects the body, soul, and spirit. Bryan Cutshall explores how stress hormones, tension, overthinking, isolation, and emotional exhaustion all work together to create anxiety, while also showing how God designed the body to respond to movement, fresh air, sunlight, and intentional action. This episode examines the biblical meaning behind passages like “walk through the valley of the shadow of death” and “walk by faith, not by sight,” while explaining the physical and emotional benefits of walking. Bryan Cutshall discusses how movement helps regulate breathing, calm the nervous system, release endorphins, reduce stress hormones, and break the mental “freeze cycle” that often keeps people trapped in fear and overthinking. More than a discussion about mental health, this teaching is a reminder that God designed the human body with healing principles built into it and that peace often comes not only through information, but through practice. From walking with God in the cool of the day to learning how motion changes emotion, this episode encourages believers to keep moving forward in faith, trust God through difficult seasons, and discover practical ways to experience greater peace and emotional clarity. 00:00 Introduction: Anxiety Is Becoming an Epidemic 00:38 Anxiety Is More Than a Mental Battle 01:28 Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death 02:15 Why Walking Helps Anxiety 03:00 Burning Off Stress Hormones and Regulating Breathing 03:58 How Walking Calms the Brain 04:39 Why Movement Cleanses the Body 05:37 Breaking the Anxiety “Freeze Cycle” 06:32 How Walking Helps Depression 07:43 Anxiety Affects the Body, Soul, and Spirit 08:56 Why Entertainment Cannot Heal Anxiety 10:00 Motion Changes Your Emotion 10:44 Walking Restores Control and Changes Your Chemistry 11:30 The First Thing God Did With Adam and Eve 12:05 Walking With God in the Cool of the Day 12:40 Peace Comes Through Practice, Not Just Information 13:08 Walk by Faith and Fear No Evil 📺 Watch the Full Episode here: https://youtu.be/ZnufghVGISU 📩 Sign up for my newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/churchtrainer/newsletter-sign-up 🤝 Support our mission: Become A Partner ________________________________________ – FOLLOW ME – 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrBryanCutshall 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bryancutshall/ ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/bryancutshallministries _______________________________________ Visit my websites: 🌐 Bryan Cutshall: www.bryancutshall.com Biblical teaching | Books | Resources   🏛️ Church Trainer: www.churchtrainer.com Church leadership | Ministry tools | Training   🎓 ISOW (International School of the Word): www.isow.org Online Bible courses | Spiritual growth | Ministry training
