In this episode Jim Goble introduces his new book, The Green Circle, a simple tool he developed to help people put problems into perspective and focus on what they can control. The hosts discuss how the model grew out of a workplace situation, its practical uses in family, sports, school and church, and how prayer and perspective bring people back into the ‘green circle.’
They then study Luke 18:35–43, the story of a blind beggar in Jericho who loudly calls out to Jesus as "Son of David." Despite being rebuked by the crowd, the man’s faith leads Jesus to heal him; he receives his sight, praises God, and follows Jesus. The episode highlights the beggar’s bold faith, the contrast between spiritual insight and religious blindness, and the call to bring our struggles to God in prayer.
Personal reflections—like a frightening hospital moment—illustrate how trusting God brings peace and perspective. The episode closes by encouraging listeners to shout their faith, seek God’s help in hard places, and live with gratitude when prayers are answered.

This episode opens with a proud announcement: the host and his wife have published books, including Lisa Goble’s new athletic devotional God > Game, a simple 365-day guide with scripture, journaling prompts, prayers, and a daily word to focus on. The conversation then turns to Luke 18: the rich young man who asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life, Jesus’ challenging call to sell possessions, and the heart issue of what we place before God. The hosts unpack the meaning of “What is impossible with man is possible with God,” Peter’s heartfelt response about leaving everything to follow Jesus, and Jesus’ promise that sacrifices for God will be repaid in this life and the next. The episode closes by covering Jesus’ third prediction of his death and resurrection, and how the disciples struggled to understand until they witnessed the risen Christ.

In this episode the hosts explore the Gospel of Luke — its unique stories and how Luke’s research adds depth to familiar accounts. They reflect on Jesus blessing the children, the value of childlike faith and curiosity, and why children offered relief and hope amid adult struggles.
The conversation then turns to Luke 18:18–30, where a wealthy ruler asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life. Jesus challenges him to sell his possessions and follow, exposing the heart issue beneath legalistic good works. The hosts unpack the meaning: salvation is a gift from God, not earned by achievements, and wealth or self-sufficiency can hinder true dependence on God.
Throughout the episode they highlight key Luke-only passages, discuss how eyewitness accounts shaped Luke’s Gospel, and end with practical application: examine your heart, remove anything more important than God, and trust that what seems impossible for people is possible with God.

In this episode the hosts begin with light conversation about Michigan and Florida weather before diving into Luke 18. They read and reflect on the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, contrasting self-righteousness with humble repentance.
They emphasize the heart of true prayer: the Pharisee’s proud, self-focused words versus the tax collector’s simple plea, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner." The hosts explore how humility opens us to God’s mercy and how pride blocks spiritual growth.
The episode then turns to Jesus blessing the little children. The hosts celebrate childlike trust and curiosity as the kind of faith needed to receive the kingdom of God, urging listeners to approach Jesus with simple, trusting hearts.
Throughout, the hosts apply these passages to everyday life and prayer—encouraging humility, honest repentance, gratitude for God’s mercy, and a childlike trust in God’s care. The episode closes with a prayer asking for those attitudes to be cultivated in listeners.

In this episode the hosts dive into Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18) and unpack what it means to “always pray and not give up.” They talk about why stories and analogies help us learn, why Jesus used parables, and how the widow’s persistence contrasts with an unjust judge to highlight God’s care for our petitions.
The conversation explores practical takeaways: prayer as primary communication with God, keeping requests before Him without endless repetition, using a prayer list or journal, and praying immediately when you promise to pray for someone. They discuss prayer motives, faith, and how God answers—yes, no, or grow—and reflect on whether the Son of Man will find faith on earth.
Listeners are encouraged to persist in prayer for others, to bring heart matters before God, and to trust God’s timing and purposes. The episode closes with a challenge to keep praying, care for the vulnerable, and practice faithful, heartfelt communication with God.

In this episode the hosts open by honestly sharing their fears and the “what ifs” that whisper doubt—reminding listeners that Satan often sows suggestions, not commands. They reflect on Peter walking on water, losing focus on Jesus, and how returning our attention to God brings relief and renewed purpose.
They pray for the podcast’s growth and ask listeners to join them in asking God to use the show to reach others. The conversation turns to Luke 17:20–37: Jesus tells the Pharisees the kingdom of God is already among them, warns against false messiahs, and compares the coming of the Son of Man to the days of Noah and Lot—sudden and unexpected.
The hosts emphasize living ready: resist materialism, individualism, and skepticism; keep your faith active; and share the gospel so others hear. The episode closes with encouragement to fix your eyes on Jesus, trust God with the unknown, and make today count.

Two hosts open with light banter about hot dogs and mustard, then move into a study of Luke 17 where Jesus teaches about forgiveness, faith, and humble service.
They discuss the apostles’ plea, "Increase our faith," and explain the mustard seed analogy: a small, genuine faith can grow quietly and powerfully, rooted by daily obedience and prayer.
The episode also covers the story of ten men healed of leprosy—only one, a Samaritan, returns to thank Jesus—highlighting the importance of gratitude and how responsiveness deepens understanding of God’s grace.
Throughout, the hosts emphasize that faith is a matter of the heart, that obedience is our duty (not a way to earn praise), and they close with prayerful encouragement to give thanks and to let faith grow through humble, consistent practice.

In this episode Dale returns from a refreshing trip to Washington, D.C., shares updates about the podcast now airing three times weekly, and opens with prayer. The main discussion walks through Luke 17, focusing on Jesus’ relentless forgiveness, God’s unconditional love, and the example of the thief on the cross — showing it is never too late to be forgiven.

Practical applications include parenting lessons, being careful not to be a stumbling block to others, and how to respond with a heart of repentance and grace.
The episode closes with personal stories, reflection on God’s sacrificial love, and prayer asking for increased faith and a deeper, heartfelt relationship with Jesus.
