Can Your Prayer Change God's Mind? | Be The 25

Épisode 40

mardi 21 octobre 2025Durée 19:29

Send In Your Question for the Podcast

🙏 Can your prayer really change God’s mind? Or does His will always happen no matter what? This is the BIG question we’re tackling in today’s special Q&A episode.

We’ll look at:
✨ What the Bible says about God’s unchanging character.
✨ Why passages like Jonah and Nineveh look like God “changed His mind.”
✨ How prayer actually works — not by changing God, but by changing situations.
✨ Why your prayers really do matter more than you think.

⚡ Stick around — this one will clear up confusion, deepen your faith, and encourage you to pray with confidence.

🔑 Key Takeaways

🙌 God’s character and plans never change — He is perfect and sovereign.
🙌 Our prayers don’t change God’s mind, but they can create new situations that He responds to.
🙌 Stories like Nineveh, Moses, and Hezekiah show us that prayer changes outcomes.
🙌 God invites us to partner with Him through prayer — it’s powerful and necessary.

How Do You Know for SURE that Jesus Resurrected? (Part 1)

Épisode 28

mardi 22 avril 2025Durée 20:14

Send In Your Question for the Podcast

🕵️‍♂️💥 Ever wondered if there's REAL PROOF that Jesus rose from the dead?
What if we investigated it like a real missing person case?

In today’s episode of Be the 25, we’re going full detective mode 🧠🔎 as we start breaking down some of the most common theories people throw around to explain away the resurrection:

❌ "Jesus wasn’t really dead..."
❌ "Someone stole the body..."
❌ "The disciples went to the wrong tomb..."
❌ "It was all just a hallucination..."
❌ Or even wild stuff like Jesus having a twin brother 👥…or aliens took Him👽

But do those theories hold up when you actually LOOK at the EVIDENCE? 👀📜
We’re starting this two-part investigation by examining the eyewitness accounts found in the Gospels 📖 and tackling the first major theory — the idea that Jesus never really died on the cross.

💥 Spoiler alert: He didn’t just faint. What He endured was BRUTAL. 😓💔
We walk through the physical suffering Jesus went through — from being slapped, beaten, mocked, and flogged — to show why the "swoon theory" doesn’t stand a chance.

👣 Along the way, you’ll learn:

  • Why the Gospel writers’ different details actually make their stories MORE believable, not less 🧩
  • What a Roman flogging really was and why it was often deadly 💀
  • Why eyewitness testimony matters 🗣️📝

📣 Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:17 that if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless.
So yeah — this matters. A lot. 😮‍💨

📌 Next episode is Part 2, where we’ll investigate more of the resurrection theories and see what the evidence really says about what happened that first Easter morning. Don’t miss it!

Who Defines YOUR Worth: Christ or the Culture? (Part 2) | Be The 25

Épisode 27

mardi 8 avril 2025Durée 16:59

Send In Your Question for the Podcast

👉 In today’s episode of Be The 25, we’re exposing 5 MORE PLACES PEOPLE LOOK FOR THEIR WORTH—and how JESUS GIVES YOU VALUE in a way NOTHING ELSE CAN.

🔹 Missed PART 1? Check it out here! Learn about 5 common places people search for worth—only to come up empty.

📖 IN TODAY’S EPISODE, WE’RE COVERING:

🔥 5 MORE PLACES Your Worth ISN’T Found:

5️⃣ It isn’t found in YOUR RELATIONSHIPS OR FRIENDSHIPS. 💔 People change. Friends come and go. But your worth isn’t based on who’s in your life.
✨ Jesus chose YOU (John 15:16). Your value isn’t determined by who accepts or rejects you—you belong to HIM!

6️⃣ It isn’t found in YOUR PERFORMANCE OR ACHIEVEMENTS. 🏆 Success fades. Mistakes happen. But your self-worth is more than what you do or do well.

7️⃣ It isn’t found in WHAT YOU POSSESS. 💰 The things you own don’t define you. Who you are matters more than what you have.

8️⃣ It isn’t found in YOUR FEELINGS. 😔 “The heart is deceitful above all things...” (Jeremiah 17:9) Feelings shift all the time, but God’s truth about you never changes.

💡 Here’s what GOD says about you:
• ✨ You are FORGIVEN – 1 John 1:9
• 🕊 You are VAL-U-ABLE – Matthew 10:31
• ❤️ You are DEAR-LY LOVED – Colossians 3:12
• 👁 You are THE APPLE OF HIS EYE – Psalm 17:8
• 💪 You are MORE THAN A CONQUEROR – Romans 8:37
• 🏆 You are AN OVER-COMER – 1 John 5:4
• 🎉 You are VIC-TOR-I-OUS – 1 Corinthians 15:57
• 🔓 You are FREE – John 8:36
• 📖 You are CREATED FOR A PURPOSE – Jeremiah 29:11

🔟 It isn’t found in YOUR PAST MIS-TAKES. 🚫 Your past doesn’t have to hold you back—God’s grace is bigger!

📖 “Where sin increased, grace increased all the more.” (Romans 5:20)
📖 “And I am CON-FI-DENT OF THIS, that HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK in you – WILL CARRY IT ON TO COM-PLE-TION ….” (Philippians 1:6)

🎧 Tune in as we uncover where your TRUE WORTH comes from and why it makes all the difference in your life!

Who Defines YOUR Self-Worth: Christ or the Culture? (Part 1) | Be The 25

Épisode 26

mardi 25 mars 2025Durée 15:05

Send In Your Question for the Podcast

Do you ever struggle with self-worth? 🤔
Does your value feel tied to social media likes, what others think, or how you look? In a world that constantly tells you to measure up, fit in, and seek approval, it’s easy to feel like you’re never enough.

BUT HERE’S THE TRUTH—your worth isn’t something you have to earn. 🙌 It’s already been given to you by Jesus Christ!

In today’s episode of Be The 25, we’re breaking down 5 wrong places people look for their worth—and why ONLY JESUS can give you real, unshakable value. 🏆

 

👉 Here are the 5 traps to watch out for:
❌ Social Media Likes – Your worth isn’t measured by followers, likes, or comments. God’s love for you never fluctuates! (1 John 3:1)
❌ Comparing Yourself to Others – You are God’s masterpiece, made for a unique purpose! (Ephesians 2:10)
❌ Your Looks or Appearance – God looks on what’s on the inside, not outside (1 Samuel 16:7)
❌ What Others Think of You – People’s opinions change, but God’s love is constant. (Psalm 118:8)
❌ People’s Approval – You don’t need to prove yourself to be accepted—Jesus already calls you worthy. (Galatians 1:10)

 

🔥 When you place your worth in Christ, everything changes:
✅ You stop chasing validation from the world.
✅ You find freedom from comparison & self-doubt.
✅ You walk in confidence, knowing you are fully loved.

 

So, who defines YOUR worth—Christ or the culture? 🤔

📢 DON’T MISS PART 2! We’ll reveal 5 MORE WRONG PLACES in EPISODE 27 that people mistakenly seek their worth from—and how to embrace the worth God’s already given you. 🌱

3️⃣ God provides community – Psalm 68:6 says, “God sets the lonely in families.” He places people in your life to encourage and walk with you. 🤝
4️⃣ God wants us to reach out to others too – Philippians 2:4 reminds us, “Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.” Sometimes, the best way to fight loneliness is to be a friend to someone else who’s struggling. 🤲💙

Your Life Matters: What the Bible REALLY Says About Suicide | Be The 25

Épisode 24

mardi 18 février 2025Durée 23:58

Send In Your Question for the Podcast

Suicide is a tough topic, but we can’t ignore it. Maybe you've wondered: What does the Bible actually say about it? Can someone who dies by suicide go to heaven? Maybe you've lost someone and are struggling to make sense of it all. Or maybe—just maybe—you’re battling those thoughts yourself, feeling like there’s no way forward… but there IS.

🎧 In this episode, we break down what the Bible says about suicide:

⚠️ Suicide is a sin – Life is a gift from God (Exodus 20:13, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Ending your own life goes against His design, but HE is the One who can carry you through even the darkest times.

🐍 Suicide is part of Satan’s strategy – Jesus warned us that the enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Satan wants to convince you there’s no way out, but that’s a LIE. Jesus offers life, hope, and healing. YOU MATTER more than you know, and God has a purpose for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).

💔 Suicide always brings suffering to others – It doesn’t just affect one person. Families, friends, and communities are left with deep grief and pain. But even in the midst of loss, God brings comfort and healing to those affected.

📌 KEY SCRIPTURES:
• Exodus 20:13 – "You shall not murder." (Suicide is self-homicide)
• John 10:10 – "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
• Jeremiah 29:11 – "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you a hope and a future."
• 2 Corinthians 1:8-10 – Even Paul despaired of life, but God delivered him and gave him hope!
• Psalm 34:18 – "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
