THIS IS THE LIFE PODCAST

THIS IS THE LIFE PODCAST THY WILL BE DONE. --- There’s something powerful about what happened in the garden of Gethsemane. It seems to be late in the evening, and Jesus knew what was coming—suffering, betrayal and the cross. He walked a little farther into the garden, fell on His face, and prayed, “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” In that moment, we see Jesus fully engaged in His humanity. He felt the weight and the pain of what was ahead. He wasn’t rushing toward the cross. He was honest. He didn’t want to suffer. He asked the Father if there was another way.

A PATH JUST FOR YOU Psalm 16:11 – “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.” There have been moments in my life, when the path seemed clear and easy, while other times felt like walking through fog, unsure of what’s ahead. But here in Psalm 16:11, David reminds us of something important: God Himself is our Guide. He doesn’t just point us in a direction and leave us, He shows us the path of life. Music By: Mike Outland

Rebuilding What Is Broken Nehemiah 2:17 – “Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.” The Picture of This Broken Wall When Nehemiah looked upon the city of Jerusalem, he saw ruins where strength used to stand. The walls were down, the gates were burned, and the people were living in shame. The city without walls was vulnerable to every enemy, it was exposed to danger, and unable to stand with any dignity. But, Nehemiah’s words were not just about stones and mortar, they were about restoring identity, honor, and hope to God’s people. Music By: Mike Outland

Are You Filtering God’s Word Too often, we read God’s Word through the lens of our opinions, traditions, or emotions—filtering out what doesn’t align with our comfort zone. This message reminds us that the Holy Spirit, not human reasoning, should be the only filter through which we understand truth. When we allow the Spirit to guide us, the Word becomes alive, clear, and transforming. Music By: Mike Outland

A PRAYER FOR WISDOM DEVOTION AND MEDITATION Psalm 111:10 - Psalm 90:12 Philippians 4:6-7 Today we seek the heart of God for His Wisdom and Peace.

Sometimes, God has to take something away to give us something better. Blinded That I Might See explores this powerful truth through the story of Paul’s conversion in Acts 9. Saul was struck blind on the road to Damascus, but through his loss of sight, he gained a deeper spiritual vision and a new purpose. This inspiring message reminds us that God’s plans often require surrender, transformation, and trust. When we let go, He replaces what we lose with something far greater. Perfect for faith-based reflection, devotionals, and Bible study. Building A Better Life, Starts With Building A Better You. Music composed by: MIKE OUTLAND MUSIC

Isaiah 49:16 – “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me.” There are few things more personal than our hands. They carry the fingerprints of our identity. They bear the scars of our life story. Hands are where work is done, where comfort is given, and where love is shown. When we hold something or someone dear, we hold them close, often, in our hands. So when God says in Isaiah 49:16, “Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my Hands,” He isn’t just offering poetic comfort. He’s declaring something sacred, something Eternal. He’s showing us how deeply and permanently we are connected to Him. Music By: Mike Outland

Not Until God Says You Are Exodus 3:1–4 1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. Hidden in this familiar story of Moses and the burning bush is a truth about identity and timing. For years, Moses had lived in obscurity, tending sheep on the backside of the desert. He wasn’t leading armies or standing before kings. He wasn’t preaching or performing miracles. He was just watching over another man’s flock. To most people, Moses was simply a forgotten fugitive from Egypt. Perhaps it appeared that he was a man who had failed to fulfill his purpose. But God was not finished with him yet. Music By: Mike Outland

GETTING AWAY FROM THE ENEMY James 4:6–8 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. There’s a powerful simplicity in these three short verses. They form a roadmap for victory over spiritual battles—clear steps that don’t depend on our strength, but on our surrender. James gives us three commands that work together like links in a chain: submit, resist, and draw near. When these are followed in order, the result is unmistakable—“the devil will flee.” Music By: Mike Outland
