“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

What's Next For South Shore? 41:15

God's vision consistently exceeds our human understanding, and He often calls us to prepare for expansion before we witness the results. This principle is exemplified in Isaiah 54, where the Israelites were instructed to enlarge their tents in preparation for future growth. This act of preparation demonstrates faith and creates the necessary space for God's plans to unfold.Faithful preparation involves several key elements: enlarging capacity, stretching beyond comfort zones, strengthening foundations, and taking decisive action before seeing results. This applies to both spiritual and physical aspects of growth, particularly in faith communities. It includes creating more space for worship, expanding ministries, developing new outreach methods, and investing in future generations. The process requires stepping out in faith, much like Noah building the ark before the rain or a farmer planting seeds before the harvest.…

Never Give Up On Your Relationship 38:43

21 день тому38:43

38:43

Marriage unites two different people as one, but these differences can lead to significant conflicts over time. While issues like contrasting organizational styles, time management, and communication approaches may create tension, strong marriages are built on five key commitments: seeking God first, fighting fairly, making time for fun, staying pure, and never giving up. Marriage is designed as a permanent covenant before God, not a temporary arrangement. Through God's faithfulness and power, even struggling marriages can find hope and restoration when couples choose unconditional love and put their spouse's needs first.…

Staying Pure In Your Relationship 42:54

42:54

Sexual immorality uniquely affects us by damaging our body and spirit from within, unlike other sins. God designed marriage as a sacred space for true intimacy, encompassing physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual connection between spouses. The foundation of marital intimacy rests on three essential building blocks: lifelong commitment, genuine forgiveness, and intentional pursuit. This divine design serves as an earthly reflection of God's desired relationship with His people, teaching us about the depth of connection He seeks with each of us.…

Having Fun In Your Relationship 32:51

Marriage was designed by God to be a source of joy and connection through emotional, physical, and spiritual intimacy. Emotional intimacy grows through active listening, meaningful conversations, and speaking words of life. Physical intimacy requires intentionality, mutual consideration, and regular prioritization. Spiritual connection, often overlooked, creates the deepest bond as couples serve together and pursue God's purposes. By investing in these three areas, couples can experience the life-giving relationship God intended.…

How to Fight Fair In Your Relationship 36:40

6 weeks тому36:40

36:40

Conflict in marriage is inevitable, but the key lies in how couples handle disagreements. Biblical principles from James 1:19 provide a framework for fighting fair: being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Effective conflict resolution involves active listening, choosing words carefully, and managing anger righteously. Warning signs of unhealthy conflict include criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling. The ultimate goal isn't to avoid conflict altogether, but to work together toward resolution rather than fighting for personal victory.…

Building a strong marriage requires making God the foundation, not expecting spouses to fulfill roles only God can fill. By prioritizing prayer together, regular church attendance, and studying God's Word, couples can strengthen their relationship. When couples align their hearts with God first, it positively impacts all aspects of their marriage. Making these spiritual practices consistent habits, even starting small, can lead to significant transformation in the relationship.…

21 Days Of Prayer 36:17

8 weeks тому36:17

36:17

Prayer is more than a ritual - it's about aligning our hearts with God's purpose rather than trying to bend His will to our plans. Through genuine prayer and surrender, we move from being spectators to active participants in God's mission. The Holy Spirit helps us pray when words fail, and fasting creates space to hear God more clearly. By starting with surrender and staying connected through prayer, we position ourselves to see God work powerfully in and through our lives.…

Staying Faithful In The Little Things 33:29

Embracing faithfulness in the little things is a powerful message inspired by the parable of the talents in Matthew 25. This teaching challenges us to recognize and embrace small opportunities God entrusts to us. By being faithful in relationships, seizing daily opportunities, using our influence wisely, and responding to persecution with grace, we honor God and position ourselves for greater blessings. Reflect on how you can apply these principles in your life this week.…

John 21 - Follow Me 41:39

11 weeks тому41:39

41:39

John 21 presents a powerful narrative where Jesus appears to His disciples by the Sea of Galilee. Despite their expertise, the disciples catch nothing all night until Jesus instructs them to cast their net on the right side of the boat, resulting in an abundant catch. This story underscores the importance of trusting Jesus in everyday moments and highlights that fulfillment comes from obedience rather than effort. Jesus not only meets the disciples' practical needs by preparing breakfast but also restores Peter, who had previously denied Him, reaffirming his purpose with commands to care for His followers. The chapter concludes with a call to follow Jesus, emphasizing the need to surrender our plans and avoid the comparison trap. The message encourages us to embrace our unique journey with Jesus, trust Him in all areas of life, and focus on our personal calling rather than comparing ourselves to others.…

John 21 - Doubt 43:59

12 weeks тому43:59

43:59

The story of Thomas, often called 'Doubting Thomas,' highlights the struggle between doubt and faith. After missing Jesus' initial appearance to the disciples, Thomas declared he wouldn't believe until he saw and touched Jesus' wounds. A week later, Jesus appeared again and invited Thomas to do just that, saying, 'Stop doubting and believe.' This encounter shows that Jesus meets us in our doubts and provides what we need to believe. Faith is not about having all the answers but trusting in Jesus, who does. Jesus also emphasized the importance of community and the role of the Holy Spirit in our faith journey. As we live out our faith, we are called to share Jesus' message of love, hope, and peace with the world.…

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our faith, transforming despair into hope. On the first Easter, Mary Magdalene discovered the empty tomb, leading to a series of events that affirmed Jesus' victory over death. Peter and John raced to the tomb, finding the grave clothes neatly folded, symbolizing the defeat of death. Mary, initially in mourning, encountered the risen Jesus and became the first evangelist. This story invites us to believe and share the good news, even when we don't fully understand.…
