Ep. 425: You Don't Have to Be Gifted to Be Obedient

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:45:48 +0000

Here’s a truth every believer needs to hear: you don’t need a spiritual gift to obey God. In this episode, we wrap up Romans 12:6–8 by tackling a common misconception thinking you can avoid certain responsibilities because you’re “not gifted” in that area. Whether it’s sharing your faith, showing generosity, or serving others, obedience is for every Christian. This episode encourages teens and young adults to take action, trust God for strength, and stop making excuses. As you step out in obedience, you may even discover new spiritual gifts along the way. Faith grows when you move, not when you wait.

Ep. 419: Worship is Worth-ship

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 05:45:25 +0000

What is true worship? In this episode about Romans 12:1, we go beyond music and discover that worship is about recognizing God’s ultimate worth in every part of life. Worship isn’t just singing at church. It’s a daily response to God’s mercy, expressed through your thoughts, actions, and attitudes. Learn how “worth-ship” means valuing God above everything else and how you can worship Him with your mind, heart, body, and words. If you’ve ever felt disconnected during worship or unsure what it really means, this episode simplifies it: worship is simply seeking to please God in everything you do. Perfect for teens and young adults, this message will help you move from routine religion to a real, personal relationship with God.

Ep. 418: What is a Living Sacrifice

Wed, 08 Apr 2026 05:45:42 +0000

What does it actually mean to live as a “living sacrifice” in Romans 12:1? In this episode, we break down this powerful concept in a way that’s practical and relatable for everyday life. Unlike Old Testament sacrifices, a living sacrifice is ongoing, personal, and rooted in worship, not earning salvation. Learn how following Jesus involves daily surrender, giving up your desires, time, and comfort for something greater. If you’ve ever struggled with obedience, sacrifice, or understanding God’s purpose, this episode will help you see that surrender isn’t loss. It’s freedom and joy. Designed for teens and young adults, this message encourages you to trust that you can never outgive God and that every act of surrender draws you closer to Him.

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 05:45:26 +0000

What does God really say about your body? In this powerful episode on Romans 12:1, we explore how your body is not something to be ashamed of, but a gift created by Jesus and meant for His glory. In a world obsessed with appearance, comparison, and performance, this message brings a refreshing, biblical perspective on identity, body image, and purpose. Discover why your body is called a temple of the Holy Spirit, how Jesus redeemed not just your soul but your body, and how to avoid turning bodies into idols. This episode speaks directly to teens and young adults struggling with insecurity, comparison, or cultural pressure, and points you back to God’s truth: your body is good, valuable, and meant for worship.

Ep. 414: Evangelistic Church: Five Evidences for Easter

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 05:45:30 +0000

Why did the early church grow so rapidly despite intense persecution? In this episode, we explore how the bold, evangelistic movement of the early Christians serves as powerful evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Far from gaining power, wealth, or influence, believers faced imprisonment, suffering, and death yet they continued to proclaim one unchanging message: Jesus is God, He died, and He rose again. Designed for teens and young adults, this episode challenges the idea that Christianity was invented for control and instead highlights how truth fueled its spread. Discover how the gospel took root in the very city where Jesus was crucified, why eyewitness conviction matters, and how the courage of the early church points to the reality of the resurrection.

Ep. 413: Eyewitnesses: Five Evidences for Easter

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 05:45:02 +0000

Can we really trust the resurrection accounts of Jesus? This episode explores the powerful testimony of eyewitnesses who saw the risen Christ. From the disciples to over 500 people at once, and even skeptics like James and Paul, the resurrection wasn’t a private event. It was widely witnessed and boldly proclaimed. Teens and young adults will discover why these testimonies are reliable, how they dismantle common doubts like hallucination theories, and why these witnesses were willing to suffer and die for what they saw. Rooted in 1 Corinthians 15, this episode reminds us that if Jesus didn’t rise, our faith is meaningless. But because He did, we can live with confidence, hope, and purpose.

Ep. 412: Empty Tomb: Five Evidences for Easter

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 05:45:37 +0000

Why does the empty tomb matter so much for your faith? In this episode, we dive into one of the strongest pieces of evidence for the resurrection of Jesus: the missing body. With a guarded tomb, a public burial site, and witnesses discovering it empty, the facts point to something extraordinary. If Jesus’ body were still there, Christianity would have ended before it began. But it didn’t. Instead, the message of Jesus spread rapidly. Designed for teens and young adults, this episode breaks down why the empty tomb is historically credible, how even Jesus’ enemies couldn’t disprove it, and what it means for your personal faith. If you’ve ever wondered whether the resurrection is real, this episode gives compelling reasons to believe.

Ep. 411: Execution: Five Evidences for Easter

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 05:45:59 +0000

In this powerful kickoff to Easter week, we explore the historical reality of the execution of Jesus and why it’s essential to the Christian faith. If Jesus didn’t truly die, then the resurrection has no meaning. But both Scripture and non-Christian historians like Tacitus and Josephus confirm that Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate. This episode helps teens and young adults understand that Christianity is not built on myths, but on real historical events. Discover how Roman crucifixion guaranteed death, why eyewitness accounts matter, and how Jesus’ sacrifice connects to the truth that “the wages of sin is death.” Build confidence in your faith as you reflect on the incredible reality that Jesus willingly gave His life for you.

Ep. 410: Faithful Friends Point One Another to Christ

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 05:45:32 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay concludes the week’s series on faithful friendships by highlighting the most important mark of a godly friend: pointing one another to Jesus. Building on Proverbs 27:17 and Ecclesiastes 4:9–10, Jay explains that Christian friendships are meant to do more than provide companionship—they should help believers grow spiritually and stay faithful to God. Teens and young adults are encouraged to evaluate whether their friendships include meaningful spiritual conversations, prayer, encouragement, and accountability in their walk with Christ. Jay challenges listeners to become the kind of friend who actively encourages others in their faith and to seek friendships that strengthen their relationship with Jesus. When friends intentionally point one another to Christ, those relationships become a powerful source of spiritual growth and encouragement.

Ep. 409: Faithful Friends Speak Hard Truths

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 05:45:36 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay explores another key mark of faithful friendships: the courage to speak hard truths in love. Drawing from Proverbs 27:6 — “Faithful are the wounds of a friend”, Jay explains that real friends care too much to stay silent when someone they love is heading in the wrong direction. While most people prefer comfortable conversations, honest correction—when shared with humility and love—can lead to growth, wisdom, and stronger relationships. Teens and young adults are encouraged to be the kind of friend who speaks truth with compassion and also remains humble enough to receive correction from others. This episode challenges listeners to pursue friendships where honesty, trust, and spiritual growth are valued above temporary comfort.

Ep. 408: Faithful Friends Encourage and Celebrate Without Jealousy

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 05:45:19 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay continues the series on faithful friendships by focusing on the importance of encouragement and celebrating others without jealousy. Teaching from Romans 12:15, Jay reminds teens and young adults that true friends rejoice when others succeed and support one another through both victories and struggles. While comparison and jealousy can quietly damage relationships, godly friendships are marked by generosity, humility, and genuine encouragement. Jay challenges listeners to develop a heart that celebrates the success of others and to intentionally speak uplifting words that strengthen their friends. By choosing encouragement over comparison, young believers can build friendships that reflect Christ’s love and bring joy to everyone involved.

Ep. 407: Faithful Friends Guard Their Words

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 05:45:53 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay explores another essential characteristic of faithful friendships: guarding your words. Speaking from Proverbs 16:28, Jay explains how gossip, careless comments, and broken confidences can quickly destroy trust and damage relationships. Teens and young adults are reminded that faithful friends protect one another’s reputation, speak truth with kindness, and use their words to build others up rather than tear them down. The episode also offers practical wisdom about when it is necessary to share concerns with a trusted adult—especially in situations involving harm, abuse, or safety. Listeners are encouraged to evaluate their own conversations and ask God to help them become trustworthy friends who use their words to strengthen relationships and reflect Christ’s love.

Ep. 406: Faithful Friends Sharpen One Another

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 05:45:12 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay begins a new series focused on building healthy, faithful friendships for teens and young adults. Drawing from Proverbs 27:17 — “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”—Jay explains how true friendships are meant to challenge, strengthen, and shape our character. Rather than simply sharing interests or having fun together, godly friendships help us grow spiritually, academically, and personally. This devotional encourages listeners to reflect on the influence their friends have on their lives and to ask an important question: Are my friendships sharpening my faith or dulling it? Jay challenges young believers to become the kind of friend who encourages growth, accountability, and a deeper walk with God.

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 05:45:41 +0000

In this final episode of the week on Guided by Faith, Ryan Woods wraps up the series by giving practical, everyday methods for sharing the gospel with the people in your Oikos—your personal sphere of influence made up of friends, neighbors, classmates, and teammates. Drawing from John 17:21, Ryan explains that believers demonstrate the love of Christ through authentic relationships, unity, and everyday interactions that reflect the presence of God in their lives. Teens and young adults are encouraged to start simple: greet people consistently, remember details about their lives, pray for them regularly, and look for natural opportunities to talk about faith. Whether it’s walking the dog with a neighbor, chatting with a classmate, or praying with teammates, this episode shows how relational evangelism can open doors to meaningful gospel conversations. Listeners are challenged to pray over their Oikos Map and trust God to create opportunities to share the hope of Jesus.

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 05:45:19 +0000

How do you actually begin sharing your faith with the people around you? In this episode of Guided by Faith, Ryan Woods explains that evangelism often starts with genuine relationships and Christlike love. After identifying people in your Oikos Map, the next step is to intentionally care for them—listening to their stories, remembering details about their lives, and showing kindness that reflects Jesus. Ryan shares a personal story about building relationships through everyday activities like visiting a local bait shop, demonstrating how simple acts of care can open doors for meaningful spiritual conversations. Teens and young adults will learn that evangelism doesn’t have to be intimidating or forced; instead, it can grow naturally through authentic relationships, compassionate actions, and opportunities to share how Jesus has transformed their lives.

Ep. 403: How Do I Choose Who To Share My Faith With?

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 05:45:51 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Ryan Woods continues the conversation on sharing the gospel by introducing a practical evangelism tool called the Oikos Map. Building on the biblical idea of “oikos” (your sphere of influence), Ryan helps teens and young adults identify specific people God has placed in their daily lives who may not yet know Christ. Listeners are encouraged to write their name in the center of a simple map and list nine people around them in three categories: Live, Learn, and Play—neighbors and family, classmates or coworkers, and friends or teammates. This exercise helps believers intentionally pray for those in their lives and look for natural opportunities to share the hope of the gospel. Through prayer, awareness, and bold faith, this episode challenges listeners to begin seeing their everyday relationships as opportunities for ministry.

Ep. 402: Who Is My Community?

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 05:45:15 +0000

How do you know who God wants you to reach with the gospel? In this episode of Guided by Faith, Ryan Woods introduces the biblical concept of “oikos,” a Greek word often used in the New Testament to describe a household or sphere of influence. Looking at examples throughout Scripture—from Andrew bringing Peter to Jesus to the Samaritan woman telling her town—Ryan shows that the gospel often spreads through relationships. Teens and young adults are encouraged to identify the people God has already placed in their lives: family, friends, classmates, teammates, and neighbors. By recognizing their God-given sphere of influence, listeners can begin praying intentionally and looking for opportunities to share the hope of Jesus with those closest to them.

Ep. 401: It's My Responsibility To Reach My Community

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 05:45:41 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Ryan Woods challenges teens and young adults to recognize their personal role in sharing the gospel with the people around them. Teaching from Romans 10:14–15, Ryan explains that while not everyone is called to be a preacher, every believer is called to be a witness. Using the example of communities with many people who have never experienced church, he highlights the incredible opportunity for young Christians to bring the hope of Jesus to their generation. Just as Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:14–16, believers are called to be the light of the world, living boldly and sharing the good news so others can glorify God. This devotional encourages listeners to pray for boldness, wisdom, and a heart that sees the spiritual needs of their community.

Fri, 06 Mar 2026 06:45:16 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay Holland wraps up the Romans Road by focusing on Romans — “For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Teens and young adults are reminded that God’s gift of salvation is not limited by our past mistakes, social status, or how “far gone” we feel; anyone who turns to Jesus in faith can be saved.

Ep. 394: Confess and Believe - Romans 10:9-10

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 06:45:36 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay explores Romans and what it truly means to confess Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.

This episode challenges students to move beyond superficial faith, embrace genuine belief, and understand that salvation involves both heartfelt belief and public confession, while also offering guidance for those seeking to grow in their relationship with Christ. Perfect for Christian teens ready to deepen their faith and confidently live out their devotion to Jesus.

Ep. 392: Our Wages, God's Gift - Romans 6:23

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 06:45:50 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay continues walking through the Romans Road by unpacking Romans and its powerful contrast between what we earn and what God freely gives. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Building on Romans, this devotional helps teens and young adults understand that sin earns a payment—spiritual and physical death—tracing this truth back to the fall in the Book of Genesis. But the message doesn’t stop at bad news. The heart of the gospel shines in the second half of the verse: salvation is not something we earn, but a free gift made possible through Jesus’ perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection. This episode challenges students to memorize Romans 6:23, reflect on the seriousness of sin, and grow in gratitude for the gift of eternal life. Perfect for Christian teens wanting to understand salvation clearly, share their faith confidently, and deepen their appreciation for God’s grace through Jesus Christ.

Ep. 391: All have sinned - Romans 3:23

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 06:45:01 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay begins a powerful week-long walk through the “Romans Road,” a simple and biblical way to explain the gospel from the book of Epistle to the Romans. Focusing on Romans — “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” — this devotional challenges teens and young adults to understand the seriousness of sin and why the bad news is actually the first step toward the good news of salvation. Through a personal story about his son’s leukemia diagnosis, Jay illustrates why truth matters, even when it’s hard to hear. Just as a doctor must honestly diagnose a life-threatening illness, Scripture clearly diagnoses the human condition: every person has sinned, missed God’s perfect standard, and stands in need of grace. This episode encourages students to memorize Romans 3:23 as part of the five key verses of the Romans Road (Romans 3:23; 6:23; 5:8; 10:9; 10:10), reflect honestly on their own sin, and grow in gratitude for the gift of salvation through Jesus. Perfect for Christian teens wanting to share their faith, understand the gospel more clearly, and build a strong biblical foundation.

Ep. 390: From No Condemnation To No Separation!

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 06:45:39 +0000

In this hope-filled episode of Guided by Faith, Jay wraps up Romans chapter 8 with one of the most powerful promises in the Bible: what begins with “no condemnation” ends with “no separation.” Speaking directly to teens and young adults, Jay explains how Romans 8:37–39 assures believers that nothing—death, life, demons, failure, fear, or even your worst sin—can separate you from the love of God in Christ Jesus. This episode dives into eternal security, the difference between professing faith and truly trusting Jesus, and how understanding God’s unshakable love gives you freedom to run toward Him instead of hiding in shame. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve messed up too badly for God to still love you, this message is a powerful reminder that in Christ, you are secure, forgiven, and forever held by His grace.

Ep. 389: Can You Trust God's Love During Persecution?

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 06:45:26 +0000

In this powerful episode of Guided by Faith, Jay unpacks Romans 8:35–37 and tackles a difficult but real question for teens and young adults: If God loves me, why do I suffer for my faith? Walking verse by verse through Paul’s words “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?” Jay explores persecution, rejection, loneliness, and even martyrdom, reminding listeners that being “more than conquerors” doesn’t mean escaping hardship but staying faithful through it. Drawing from stories of persecuted Christians around the world and the example of the Apostle Paul, Jay challenges young believers to trust that nothing—mockery, exclusion, temptation, or trials—can separate them from Christ’s love. Whether you’re facing peer pressure at school, fear of sharing your faith, or deeper struggles, this episode encourages you to rely on the Holy Spirit and live boldly for Jesus, knowing your faithfulness matters now and for eternity.

Ep. 388: Jesus Is Your Lawyer!

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 06:45:37 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay dives into Romans 8:34 and explores an incredible truth for teens and young adults: Jesus is your advocate. When Paul asks, “Who is to condemn?” he reminds us that Christ died, rose again, and now sits at the right hand of the Father interceding for us. That means when shame, guilt, or the “accuser” tries to drag you down, Jesus stands as your defense—declaring that your sin has already been paid in full. Jay unpacks the difference between healthy conviction that leads to repentance and unhealthy shame that leads to isolation, encouraging listeners to reject the lies of condemnation and walk confidently in the grace of God. If you’ve ever struggled with guilt or felt defined by your past mistakes, this episode will remind you that the ultimate Judge has already declared you not guilty through Christ.

Ep. 387: God Spares Nothing In Giving Us What We Need

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 06:45:48 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay unpacks Romans 8:31–32 and explores a powerful truth for teens and young adults: if God did not spare His own Son, you can trust that He won’t withhold anything you truly need. When life feels unfair, delayed, or disappointing, it’s easy to question whether God is holding out on you. But the cross proves otherwise. Jay explains how God’s eternal perspective means He gives what is best—not always what we want—and how seasons of waiting often shape our character and prepare us for greater blessings. This devotional reminds listeners that Jesus already took the ultimate “raw deal” so we wouldn’t have to, and that we can confidently trust a Father who generously provides every good thing at the right time.

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 06:45:22 +0000

In this powerful start to Romans 8:31–39, Jay reminds teens and young adults of a life-changing truth: If God is for us, who can be against us? Before unpacking the rest of the passage, this episode revisits the incredible promises already laid out in Romans 8—no condemnation in Christ, the indwelling Holy Spirit, adoption as sons and daughters of God, future glorification, God working all things for good, and being conformed to the image of Jesus. When Monday feels heavy or life feels overwhelming, this devotional calls listeners to remember “these things”—the active, ongoing blessings God has secured for believers. If you’ve been discouraged, doubting, or distracted by opposition, this episode will help you refocus on the truth that God is fully for you, walking with you, strengthening you, and finishing the good work He began.

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 06:45:33 +0000

In the final episode of this series on the five core needs, Jay tackles competency—the question of “What am I good at?” He encourages teens and young adults to recognize that God has uniquely gifted each of us with natural talents, spiritual gifts, and the capacity to grow through effort and practice. Drawing from Scripture, Romans 8, and insights from books like Grit by Angela Duckworth, Jay emphasizes that skill and achievement come from combining God-given ability with persistent practice, all empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Ep. 384: Do You Know Your Purpose?

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 06:45:33 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay takes on one of life’s biggest questions for teens and young adults: Why am I alive? Continuing the framework of security, identity, and belonging from Romans 8, Jay explains why purpose can’t be found in pleasure, achievement, popularity, or productivity—no matter how appealing those paths seem. Instead, when our trust, identity, and belonging are rooted in God, purpose becomes clear and freeing: to love God, enjoy life with Him and others, and share Jesus with the world. This episode encourages listeners to stop letting work, success, or attention define their worth and to discover deep joy in living out God’s purpose wherever they are, in whatever season of life they’re in.

Ep. 383: Who Wants You?

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 06:45:38 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay addresses one of the most painful and relatable questions for teens and young adults: Who wants me? Continuing the journey through Romans 8 and the five core needs, Jay speaks honestly about loneliness, seasons of feeling overlooked, and the deep human desire to belong. He explains how insecurity and misplaced identity can drive us to compromise who we are just to feel accepted—and why that always falls short. Scripture offers a better answer: Jesus wants you, proved by His love on the cross and His invitation into the family of God. This episode encourages listeners to anchor their sense of belonging in God’s unchanging love, giving them freedom to walk patiently through lonely seasons, pursue healthy relationships, and discover true community rooted in Christ.

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay continues the Romans 8 conversation by tackling one of the most defining questions for teens and young adults today: Who am I? Building on the foundation of trust, Jay explains why identity can’t be safely rooted in things that change—like looks, talents, achievements, or feelings—and why doing so often leads to confusion and insecurity. Instead, Scripture offers a far stronger answer: we are image bearers of God, and for those in Christ, beloved, adopted children of God who can never be separated from His love. This episode challenges listeners to examine what they’ve been using to define themselves and invites them to anchor their identity in what God says is true, creating a stable foundation for confidence, purpose, and a life that blesses others.

Ep. 381: Who Do You Trust?

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 06:45:56 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay kicks off a crucial week by asking a foundational question that shapes every part of our lives: Who do you trust? Drawing from Romans 8 and insights from Dr. Kathy Koch's Five to Thrive, this devotional explores the core human need for security and how it affects identity, belonging, purpose, and confidence—especially for teens and young adults. Jay unpacks why placing our trust in people, talents, looks, or success will always lead to insecurity, and why Scripture calls us instead to trust in the Lord, who has already proven Himself faithful through Jesus. If you’ve ever struggled with broken trust, shaky confidence, or wondering what your life is built on, this episode invites you to examine where your security really comes from and challenges you to build your life on the solid foundation of trusting God.

This episode encourages listeners to trust God’s ongoing work in their lives, from calling and justification to the ultimate glorification, and inspires hope for an eternal, joyful existence with Christ in the new heavens and new earth.

Ep. 379: What Does it Mean to Be Justified?

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 06:45:24 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay breaks down one of the most important—and often misunderstood—words in Christian theology: justification. Walking through Romans 8:28–30, Jay explains how God’s justice, holiness, and love meet at the cross of Jesus, where our sin debt was paid in full. Using clear illustrations and relatable examples, he shows teens and young adults what it means to be justified “just as if I had never sinned” and why believers stand righteous before God—not because of their behavior, but because of Jesus’ perfect sacrifice. This episode offers powerful reassurance for anyone weighed down by guilt, reminding listeners of the freedom, gratitude, and confidence that come from being fully forgiven and made right with God.

Ep. 378: You Were Predestined to Become Like Jesus!

Wed, 11 Feb 2026 06:45:10 +0000

In this midweek episode of Guided by Faith, Jay walks teens and young adults through the powerful theology of Romans 8:28–30, focusing on God’s purpose in predestining believers to be conformed to the image of Jesus. Jay explains why theology matters for everyday faith, clears up common confusion about predestination, and shows how God uses both joyful and painful experiences to shape Christians into Christlike people. Rather than promising an easy life, this episode reveals that the greatest “good” God is working toward is making you more like Jesus—holy, compassionate, and hopeful for eternity. If you’ve ever wondered why God allows hardship, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a bigger-picture view of God’s loving plan for your life.

Ep. 375: Three Different Ways To Pray

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 06:45:20 +0000

In this Friday episode of *Guided by Faith*, Jay wraps up the week on prayer with practical guidance for teens and young adults on how to make prayer a meaningful part of daily life. Drawing from Romans 8:26–27, Jay shares three helpful methods: the ACTS model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication), Look Up–Look In–Look Out, and simply talking to God conversationally. Each method encourages listeners to focus on God, examine their hearts, and pray for the world around them, all while trusting that the Holy Spirit intercedes and Jesus advocates on their behalf. This episode equips young believers to deepen their prayer life, grow in intimacy with God, and approach prayer with confidence, creativity, and authenticity.

Ep. 374: Should We Pray to Saints?

Thu, 05 Feb 2026 06:45:24 +0000

In this thoughtful and biblical episode of Guided by Faith, Jay tackles a common and often confusing question: should Christians pray to saints? Grounded in Romans 8 and the broader teaching of Scripture, Jay explains why the Bible never instructs believers to pray to deceased saints and instead emphasizes the incredible gift of direct access to God through Jesus Christ. Listeners will learn what the Bible really means by the word “saint,” why every believer is called a saint through faith in Christ, and how the Holy Spirit and Jesus Himself already intercede on our behalf. This episode encourages Christians to pray confidently to their Heavenly Father, trusting the perfect access they already have through Christ.

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 06:45:41 +0000

In this midweek episode of Guided by Faith, Jay helps teens and young adults learn how to pray by looking at Jesus’ own teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. Walking through Matthew 6:5–14 and the Lord’s Prayer, Jay highlights what Jesus reveals about prayer: God expects us to pray, prayer is relational rather than performative, and it should come from an engaged, honest heart—not empty repetition or a desire to impress others. This episode encourages listeners to pray authentically, remember who they are talking to, and approach God with both intimacy and awe. If you want a deeper, more meaningful prayer life rooted in Jesus’ example, this episode offers a clear and encouraging guide.

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 06:45:01 +0000

In this practical and relatable episode of Guided by Faith, Jay breaks down a simple but powerful question: what is prayer, really? Using Romans 8:26 as a foundation, Jay explains that prayer is more than just talking to God—it’s talking to God with the confidence that He hears you and will respond.

If you’ve ever struggled with prayer, felt unsure how to pray, or wrestled with God’s timing, this episode will help you grow in trust, maturity, and confidence in your daily walk with God.

Ep. 368: Creation is Groaning

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 06:45:02 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay continues the study of Romans 8, focusing on Paul’s reminder that all creation is groaning under the weight of sin and brokenness as it waits for redemption. Jay explains how natural disasters, disease, famine, and everyday suffering are signs that the world is not as God originally designed it—and not how it will remain forever. Rather than becoming overwhelmed or numb to suffering, listeners are challenged to respond like Jesus by caring for people locally, coming alongside those who are hurting, and living as God’s hands and feet in a broken world while we wait for Christ to make all things new.

Ep. 367: Two Types of Suffering

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 06:45:41 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay addresses one of the most universal and difficult realities of life—suffering—through the lens of Romans 8:18, reminding teens and young adults that present pain is not worth comparing to the glory God has promised. Jay explains the two primary types of suffering found in Scripture: suffering because of sin, which affects all humanity in a broken world, and suffering for Christ, which includes persecution, sacrifice, and even the daily struggle of resisting sin to follow Jesus. Pointing to Jesus as the ultimate suffering servant, this episode offers hope that God has not abandoned us in our pain, walks with us through it, and will faithfully reward every ounce of suffering endured for the sake of Christ and the gospel.

Ep. 366: How the Sufferings of Today Can Produce Hope for Tomorrow

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 06:45:53 +0000

In this episode of Guided by Faith, Jay begins a powerful new week-long study in Romans 8:16–25, one of the most hope-filled passages in all of Scripture. Jay reminds listeners that suffering is not a sign that God has abandoned them. Instead, the Apostle Paul shows us that suffering is part of life in a broken world—and part of the Christian journey—but it is never the end of the story.

This episode explores how our present suffering cannot compare to the future glory God has promised. Jay unpacks what it means to be children and heirs of God, how all of creation is groaning for redemption, and why hope in Christ allows us to endure pain with patience. If you’re struggling personally, weighed down by the suffering you see in the world, or simply wondering how God uses hardship for good, this episode will point you to the unshakable hope found in Jesus and the transformation still to come.

Ep. 365: By The Spirits' Power, Not Our Own

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:45:35 +0000

How do we actually live out our faith when life gets hard? In this concluding episode of the Romans 8:12–17 series, Ryan Woods brings everything together by reminding teens and young adults that real transformation happens by the power of the Holy Spirit—not our own effort. This episode recaps our identity as sons and children of God, co-heirs with Christ, and explains why suffering is a normal part of the Christian life. Drawing from Romans 8 and 1 Peter 4, Ryan challenges listeners to stop relying on self-effort and instead daily set their minds on the Spirit. When we walk in our new identity and depend on God’s strength, we experience life, peace, and the ability to resist our old way of living—no matter the circumstances.

Ep. 364: Children of God! Heirs of God!

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 06:45:38 +0000

What does it mean to be a child of God—and why does that matter for how we live today? In this episode, Ryan Woods continues unpacking Romans 8:12–17, focusing on verse 16 and the powerful truth that believers are not only sons of God, but also children and heirs of God. Ryan explains the difference between sonship (our relational closeness to the Father) and being children of God (our future inheritance and hope). Through Scripture and creative illustrations, this episode highlights how our identity as heirs—fellow heirs with Christ—gives us a hopeful expectation of what’s to come and reshapes how we see ourselves now. Instead of being defined by our past, we’re invited to live with confidence, joy, and anticipation as members of God’s family.

Ep. 363: Sons of God, Abba! Father!

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 06:45:43 +0000

What does it really mean to be called a son of God? In this episode, Ryan Woods continues walking through Romans 8:12–17, focusing on verse 14 and the powerful truth that believers are sons of God through the Spirit. Ryan explains how “sonship” is not about gender, but about an intimate relational status—one that allows us to cry out “Abba, Father” with confidence and security. Using personal stories and biblical insight, this episode explores how God invites us into a close, loving relationship where He guides, trains, protects, and cares for us like a perfect Father. Whether you had a great dad, a difficult relationship with your father, or no father at all, this conversation points to the healing and hope found in our identity as sons adopted into God’s family.

Ep. 362: What does 'the Spirit dwelling in you' mean?

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 06:45:49 +0000

What does it actually mean when the Bible says the Holy Spirit lives in you? In this episode, Ryan Woods continues through Romans 8:12–17 and helps teens and young adults understand what it means to live with the Spirit dwelling within them. Building on the idea of a new identity in Christ, Ryan explains how the Holy Spirit—God Himself—comes to live in believers as a guide, comforter, and interpreter of truth. Drawing from both Romans 8 and Galatians 4, this episode clarifies how salvation through Jesus leads to adoption as sons and daughters of God, freeing us from fear, slavery, and striving for approval. Rather than focusing on trying harder to avoid sin, listeners are invited to set their minds on the Spirit, discovering true life, peace, and transformation.

Ep. 361: What If We Missed The Whole Point Of Christianity?

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 06:45:18 +0000

What if Christianity was never meant to be just a list of rules to follow? In this episode, Ryan Woods continues through Romans 8:12–17 and challenges us to rethink the true purpose of the Christian life. Instead of focusing on simply “not sinning,” Ryan unpacks how the gospel invites us into a new identity as children of God—led by the Spirit, adopted into God’s family, and free from fear. Using practical illustrations and Scripture, this episode explores how real spiritual growth happens when we set our minds on the Spirit and live out who God says we are. If you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or confused about what Christianity is really about, this conversation will help refocus your faith on relationship, identity, and life in the Spirit.

In this episode of Guided by Faith, we continue unpacking Romans 8 by asking a simple but deeply challenging question: How do you please God? Jay explains that Scripture gives a clear answer—love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself—but living this out can feel impossible on our own. This episode clarifies that pleasing God isn’t about willpower or religious effort; it’s about relying on the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Romans 8:11, Jay reminds listeners that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in every believer, enabling us to forgive, resist temptation, and love others genuinely. When we stop relying on ourselves and begin walking in the Spirit, we discover that pleasing God is not only possible—it’s the way we experience true spiritual life and growth.

In this episode of Guided by Faith, we continue exploring Romans 8 and what it truly means to be freed from the power of sin. Jay breaks down Paul’s teaching that “to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace,” and makes it practical for everyday life. This episode challenges listeners to consider how what they watch, listen to, and dwell on shapes their desires, thoughts, and spiritual direction. Using the powerful idea that our eyes and ears are windows to the soul, Jay encourages believers to take inventory of their media, conversations, and habits—and to intentionally set their minds on the Spirit. As you learn to be more aware of God’s presence and invite the Holy Spirit into daily moments, you’ll discover how choosing life-giving influences leads to spiritual growth, freedom, and peace.

In this episode of Guided by Faith, we continue our walk through Romans chapter 8, moving from freedom from sin’s penalty to freedom from sin’s power. Building on Romans 7’s picture of the exhausting inner struggle with sin, Jay explains why Romans 8 is one of the most victorious chapters in the Bible—because it shifts the focus from “I” to the Holy Spirit. While living in our own strength leads to frustration and failure, God has given believers His Spirit to live within them as a true power source. This episode highlights a life-changing truth: the Holy Spirit enables us to follow Jesus, love others, and live in freedom, no longer enslaved to sin. As you learn to rely on the Spirit daily, you can experience real victory, peace, and spiritual growth.

In this Christmas Eve episode of Guided by Faith, Jay challenges listeners to slow down and truly see Jesus in the middle of all the holiday traditions.

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 05:45:04 +0000
