Forgivin' Livin' Daily Podcast
Our podcasts are 5-8 minutes in length. We create these messages using one or two brief verses from the Bible that come from a devotional book. Our purpose is to help you hear the grace of Jesus in these verses so that your life may find its grounding in Christ alone. It is this grounding in grace that makes forgivin’ livin’ your way of freedom.

00(Irishcast) The Lord Who Calms The Storms (Ps 89v9 Matt 8v26) (Trust)
Artist Bernard Allen captures the intensity of the waves overcoming the small boat in which Jesus is resting in the back(stern). His calm expression makes the disciples even more stern. How can God really care if He shows no anxiety? Why do we measure God by our feelings in a situation? What does our Lord want us to learn by His calm approach to any problem we face?

00Praying The Grace Way (Ps 28:8; 2 Thess 2:16 17) (Guidance)
“Comfort, comfort ye my people,” says your God. From Isaiah 40 we hear the voice of God speaking comfort to His people. Throughout the Bible, this is the voice that brings comfort to lost sheep. Our Good Shepherd is searching for us who are lost. Today’s texts reflect this promise of being held in the large hand of God. When we are held, we rest in His grace. His protection. This is what you will hear in today’s podcast. Hearing this word of comfort personally spoken to us and for us.

00(Sundaycast) Jesus Commands Us And We Obey (Psalm 40:1; John 5:7 8) ( Discipleship)
The voice of Jesus commands us to do what is impossible for us to do. Telling a lame man to get up is impossible. But Jesus still told him to “Rise…” Commanding you and me to sing praises to God instead of whining in our pity pot is just the same. So when you're done reading this, get up and go outside and SING!

00(Missioncast) Your Life Is Hidden In Christ (Jeremiah 5:3; 3 John 5) (Sanctification)
Happy New Year from the Mission Cast! Jeff and his sister Barbara discuss the “Daily Texts” from Hood River, Oregon. Their father recently had emergency vascular surgery and is thankfully recovering steadily. Mim is in Orange County, Los Angeles where she just concluded a 4-day Day Camp for Chinese Immigrant Children. We will hear more about her camp next week. Today Jeff and Barbara discuss the truth of our hidden life in Christ, the profound truth that we are in Christ as Christ is in us and what that means for daily missional living. Jeff references M. Robert Mulholland Jr.’s book, “The Deeper Journey” and the concepts of the false self and the false religious self, where we live a life either without God or with God but in a box and live on our own terms. We discuss the true self which is surrendered and open to Christ, so that loving God and loving Others are synonymous. Such a life requires a radical submission and trust in the Lord — whose is the way, the truth, and the life. God is always true and faithful to himself, because he cannot deny his character. The same God who was faithful in your life last year will be faithful again this year. We wish you all a great new year!

00(Floridacast) Trip Reflections On The Texts For Today (Ps 115:13; 1 Peter 3:9) (Discipleship)
Today’s “Daily Texts” reveal the heart of “forgivin livin.” We practice the ABC’s with people who have hurt us. We absolve them. We bless them. We do this constantly. A,B,C. You can find these written out for you on page 189. We also found this huge sponge while walking by the ocean. When you absolve someone you let Jesus absorb the mess they made in your life. Sponges absorb messes. Jesus is our sponge who absolves our messes and absorbs them into Himself.

00(Floridacast) Peacemakers In Christ’s Family (Psalm 147:14; Matthew 5:9)(Peacemakers)
Until the day of Isaiah 11 arrives and we have the Peaceable Kingdom with us forever, Jesus has a purpose for us. You and I who are children of God have a job to do. We need to be acting like our Heavenly Father and making peace wherever we know there is conflict that we can do something about. First, we pray. Then we look for an opportunity for God to open a door in the broken relationship and then we seek out the person, asking them to forgive us for whatever wrong we may have committed.So remember, you a are the child of the King. Ask the Spirit to lead you into those relationships which you know you can be a peacemaker…and you’re not just a peacemaker…you’re a blessed peacemaker. Isaiah 11:6-9 [6] The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. [7] The cow and the bear shall graze; their young shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. [8] The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder’s den. [9] They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.

00(Irishcast) God's Firm Foundation (Exodus 33v17 2 Tim 2 V19) (Salvation)
Today’s verses reveal how important it isthat we are known by God. David knew this when he wrote Psalm 139. He marvels at God's intimate awareness: "O LORD, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You understand my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down; You are aware of all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD." God knows you. “I am known by the most high God who created the heavens and the earth.” Jesus confirms this when He speaks of Himself as our good shepherd. (John 10:14) “I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me". Spend time today in John 10 and soak in all it means for God to know you. Beloved you are known by God.

00(Floridacast) Pray Jesus Wants To Help Now (Ps 22:19; Luke 5:17) (Discipleship)
Little children call us to pray. Now. As you listen today, you will hear how children do what the Psalmist tells them to do, pray. Jesus knows that we need the encouragement of others to help us pray, and why not children. They will encourage you to pray and since they have done this for you, tell others when you have prayed and how our Lord has answered and helped and even healed you.
