The Virtue Podcast

In this episode, Trish focuses on four aspects of being a doer of the Word.

As humans, we tend to focus on the wrong things which leads us into the trap of favoritism—but what does the Bible say? James tackles the subject of prejudice, warning us not to rank someone on a superficial basis. Remember, God isn’t impressed with external characteristics, He looks at the heart.  In this episode, Wendy gives four biblical steps that will help us avoid playing favorites.

In this week’s podcast, Christi looks at what James has to say about faith. As believers, we are meant to live by faith, but what does that look like? James connects the dots for us by showing that genuine faith produces, believes, and is even willing to risk personal discomfort to put feet to our faith.

Don’t be satisfied by staying on the sidelines of the life you were created to live...

James discusses topics that are as relevant today as when he wrote this letter. In this episode, we’re looking at the power of our words—and these days, our fingers can be just as deadly as our tongues. Zenovia reminds us that using self-control before is better than doing damage control after. When we open our mouths, let it be to share life with those around us.

This week our study couldn’t be more perfect as we step into 2023. Raise your hand if you need wisdom! We all want to make right decisions and say the right thing. James looks at God’s wisdom and worldly wisdom. Just as you can identify a tree by the type of fruit it produces, you can evaluate your wisdom by the way you act.

In this episode, Sue reminds us that wisdom flows from seeing God for who He is and responding appropriately...

What’s all the fighting about? James asked that question, and you’d think he was writing in today’s culture! Everywhere you turn, tension is high, patience is low, and criticism prevails. But James wasn’t talking to “the world”—he’s addressing Christians, people like you and me, why can’t we get along? It’s a heart issue...

James 4 began with talking about war with God and ends with the will of God. The topic of God’s will for our life is so big and honestly, we struggle with that sometimes.  As Warren Wiersbe used to say, a believer who is out of the will of God becomes a troublemaker, not a peacemaker!

Life can be complicated and sometimes scary, but God desires the very best for His children. He knows that the process of seeking Him is as important as the answer He might give to any question...

We close our study in James on a high note, with a call to pray. Prayer is an essential part of being a child of God—in truth, praying is spiritual breathing! In this episode, Cathe shares how prayer moves the heart of God and reminds us that we all stand on the answered prayers of someone before us.
