    Daniel, the Demonic, and the Lion's Den

    Daniel, the Demonic & the Lion's Den Our culture is fascinated with the supernatural. But what happens when we look for wisdom, guidance, protection, or power outside of God? In this episode of the Everyday Jesus Podcast, Cassie explores what Scripture teaches about divination, witchcraft, sorcery, mediums, astrology, and spiritual counterfeits. Through the stories of Daniel in Babylon, the believers in Ephesus, and other biblical accounts, we'll examine the difference between supernatural experiences and the authority of the one true God. Daniel refused to compromise his devotion to God, even when obedience led him into the lion's den. Likewise, the believers in Ephesus demonstrated genuine transformation by walking away from practices that conflicted with following Jesus. This conversation isn't about becoming fascinated with darkness or living in fear. It's about recognizing where we've placed our trust, surrendering anything that competes with our devotion to Jesus, and standing firm in biblical truth. In this episode, we'll explore: What the Bible says about divination, witchcraft, sorcery, mediums, and astrology.Why not every supernatural experience comes from God.How Daniel modeled faithfulness in a culture of competing beliefs.Why following Jesus requires surrender, not simply adding Him to our existing practices.How Jesus holds ultimate authority over every power and principality.What it means to trust God even when obedience comes at a cost.The goal isn't to become experts in darkness. It's to know the Light. Join Cassie as we pursue an everyday, ever-present relationship with Jesus — learning to know Him, love His Word, and live transformed. Scripture references: Deuteronomy 18:10–12; Daniel 2 and 6; Acts 16:16–18; Acts 19:11–20; Galatians 5:19–21; Ephesians 6:10–18; James 4:7; Colossians 2:13–15.

    This is Us: Marriage, Parenting, and Ministry

    What does it look like to actually build your life on Jesus? This week, I’m joined by my husband, Dustin, for a conversation about marriage, parenting, ministry, and the things Jesus has taught us along the way. We talk about making Jesus the foundation of our home, raising children who know Christ—not just church, learning to steward what God has entrusted to us, and choosing obedience even when it isn’t popular. We’re not sharing from a place of having it all figured out. We’re sharing what we’ve learned from walking with Jesus through the real stuff of life. My hope is that this conversation encourages you to know Jesus more deeply, love His Word, and let Him transform every area of your life. More about Cassie linktr.ee/cassiedowns

    More Than Words: Going Deeper

    Context changes everything. In part two of our conversation about God’s Word, we’re going deeper into how to study Scripture faithfully. What happens when we cherry-pick a verse? How do we determine its context? And what does it mean to let Scripture interpret Scripture? We’ll look at passages like Philippians 4:13, Ephesians 2, and James 2 to see why context matters—and how understanding God’s Word should ultimately lead to applying God’s Word. Because Bible study isn’t about checking a box or simply gaining information. Scripture reveals Jesus, shapes us into His likeness, and teaches us how to live as His disciples. Know Jesus. Love His Word. Live transformed. Download the PDF More about Cassie and her ministry.

    More Than Words: Start Here

    The Bible is more than words on a page—it’s God’s living Word, and it continually points us to Jesus. In Part 1 of More Than Words, we’re starting with the foundation: the connection between Jesus, truth, and Scriptureand why time in God’s Word matters for our everyday lives. But if you’ve ever wondered, Where do I even start?—this episode is for you. We’ll talk about building a Bible-reading habit, choosing a translation, where to begin in Scripture, and simple study methods that can help you move from simply reading the Bible to understanding it. Whether you’re opening your Bible for the first time or you’ve been reading it for years, my prayer is that this episode helps you know Jesus, love His Word, and live transformed.

    Jesus Jujitsu: Dealing with conflict the Jesus way

    What does it look like to handle conflict like Jesus? In this episode, we’re talking about “Jesus Jujitsu”—learning how to respond to conflict without becoming like the situation we’re fighting. We’ll talk about holding truth and love together, becoming peacemakers instead of peacekeepers, letting go of past offenses, and trusting God with someone else’s response. Because the goal isn’t to win the argument. The goal is to respond in a way that looks like Jesus. Let’s learn to fight back the Jesus way. linktr.ee/cassiedowns

    Faith At Work with Dustin Downs

    How do you follow Jesus when Monday morning rolls around? It's one thing to worship on Sunday. It's another to live out your faith in meetings, deadlines, difficult conversations, and everyday workplace pressures.

Together they discuss integrity, leadership, difficult coworkers, protecting your marriage and family, and why your workplace may be one of your greatest mission fields. Whether you're an employee, a leader, self-employed, or a stay-at-home parent, this conversation will encourage you to faithfully represent Jesus wherever He has placed you. Work is important, but it isn't ultimate. Our greatest calling is to honor Christ in everything we do. Connect with Cassie

    Hi, My Name Is...Redeemed

    Hi, My Name Is... Redeemed What does it actually mean to be redeemed? It's a word many of us have heard in church, but it's so much more than a theological term. Redemption is the beautiful reality that Jesus paid the price to bring us back to Himself. In this episode, we're walking through Ephesians to discover what redemption really means and how this new identity changes the way we live every day. If you've ever wondered whether your past still defines you, or struggled to believe that God's grace is enough, this conversation is for you. Your story may include failure, but your identity is found in Christ. If you belong to Him, you are redeemed. Connect with Cassie

    Hi, My Name Is...Called

    Hi, My Name Is... Called What does it really mean to be "called" by God? For many of us, the word calling or called immediately brings to mind a career, ministry, or unique purpose. We spend years trying to discover what God wants us to do. But what if Scripture points us somewhere deeper first? In this episode, we're looking at Ephesians to discover that our first calling isn't an assignment—it's an invitation into a relationship with Jesus. From that relationship flows every good work He has prepared for us. We'll talk about: Why identity comes before assignment.The difference between our universal calling and our individual callings.Why abiding in Christ always comes before bearing fruit.How to stop striving for purpose and start walking faithfully with the One who called you.If you've ever wondered whether you're missing God's will for your life or felt pressure to figure out your purpose, this conversation is for you. Your first calling isn't to do something for Jesus. Your first calling is to belong to Jesus. Everything else flows from there. Connect with Cassie
