In the trenches: Ray Jones in Haiti

Join Beth Jones for a very special show today as she turns over the mike to her husband, Ray Jones, to share about his month-long, medical missions trip to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, to help pastor Jay Threadgill of Fishers Of Men International and the earthquake victims. After Ray arrived a few days after the earthquake, he immediately set up an urgent care medical clinic that he ran the duration of his stay there, treating an average of 200 to 300 patients a day.  Enjoy some interesting stories about Ray’s time there, and hear his compassionate heartbeat for one of the poorest nations in the world, Haiti. Then discover what is on Ray’s and Beth’s heart now to do for Haiti.  This is one show you do NOT want to miss!

If that is really you, Lord

Sometimes do you wonder if you’re really hearing God’s voice right?  The disciple Peter had a big question mark with  the word “if” in front of it when Jesus was walking on the water in the middle of the sea toward his disciples: “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 

The English word “if” is small, but has great impact on our lives. Join Beth today as she addresses the “if’s” of unbelief, doubt, and fear in our lives and exhorts us to rise to a new level of faith in Christ to do miracles in His name and to fulfill our destiny in Him.

Forgiven, Not Condemned

The Pharisees and the scribes brought in a woman caught in adultery to Jesus in the temple, asking Him what should be done with her. The woman probably feared that Jesus would harshly judge her. But she found instead that she was forgiven, not condemned, and Jesus told the Pharisees and the scribes to let those who had no sin to be the first to throw a stone at her. 

Is there some sin that you’ve done or are struggling with right now that you feel condemned for?  Join Beth today as she shares about God’s unconditional love and forgiveness. Jesus doesn’t want you under that weight of condemnation and shame, but to forgive you and to set you free.

Defeating Discouragement, Taking The Plunder

Have you ever felt really discouraged or defeated? Like a failure? Like God was blessing other people, but it just wasn’t happening for YOU? Or maybe you’re facing other discouraging situations like financial problems, marriage difficulties, friendship frictions, stress at work, health issues, trials in ministry, inability to get goals accomplished fast enough, etc.? Join Beth today as she shares practical tips from David’s example in battle with the Amalekites on how to defeat the enemy of discouragement – and to take the plunder, experiencing the BLESSINGS of God!

Nehemiah’s wall completed: Doing what God has put in your heart

The damage in Haiti is devastating from the recent magnitude-7.0 earthquake. The Red Cross estimates that 50,000 may be dead. Bodies are lining the streets, people are critically injured, food and water are scarce, and people are scared and traumatized. The situation looks hopeless. Yet God has a great plan. 

Join Beth today as she shares encouragement from the book of Nehemiah.  God put it in Nehemiah’s heart to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Despite great opposition from the enemy and the situation looking hopeless, Nehemiah and the people of Israel picked up their tools, strapped their swords to their sides, and completed the hard work.  This podcast, which is uncut and unedited (other than the very last of the closing), is rough and raw, but in it Beth shares passionately about Haiti and about fulfilling your destiny. What is it that you want to do for God?  Tune into today for refreshment from God’s word that you can fulfill the dreams God has put in your heart.

Pack light

Are you struggling with excess weight? Carrying around too much baggage for your trip? This is the year to let it go! This year 2010 is going to be the adventure of a lifetime!  Join Beth as she shares practical tips and encouragement from God’s word about “packing light” for this year’s exciting trip, so we will arrive at the destination God desires us to be, unencumbered.

Seeing clearly for 2010: Focusing on Your Vision

What do you see? This is what God asked Amos when He showed him the plumb line at the wall in Amos 7:7-9.  What do you see ahead for the year 2010? Do you have a plan and a purpose, a vision burning in your heart from God? Did you accomplish what you wanted in 2009 or did obstacles hold you back?  Are you ready for a more fulfilling, fruitful, exciting year ahead?  Join Beth today as she shares about the importance of vision and faith, and encouragement from God’s word and Johnny Nash’s song, “I can see clearly now.”

Surrendered is a beautiful place

It’s easy to say yes to God when you want to do what He says. But when God tells you to do something that requires more maturity and dying to self, it’s a lot harder!  Jesus understood this struggle, too. Through His grace and resurrected power, we too can learn to say yes daily to God, and have peace.  Surrendered is a beautiful place.

A Heart of Thanks – Through the Whole Year

At Thanksgiving we gather together with family and friends to celebrate, enjoying a delicious feast. But wouldn’t it be great if we had thankful hearts all year long to God for all He’s done and is doing? Join Beth today as she shares some practical tips for having a joyful heart of thanks – even when life is difficult.

Dark but lovely: God’s transforming grace

The Shulammite woman who worked in the field’s vineyard all day said, “I am dark but lovely.” (Song of Solomon 1:5-6)  She had a revelation that even though her skin was dark and rough from laboring in the scorching sun all day, that she was beautiful because of how much the Beloved loved her. It is the same with us as believers. Christ beautifies us with His love. God loves us and just wants to be with us. His grace transforms us from darkness to light, from glory to glory. Join Beth today as she shares encouragement from God’s word about the story of the Beloved and the Shulammite – the power of God’s transforming love.
