Who Am I in the Bible? - Waiting Faithfully for God's Promise (Episode 28)

Jesus: Listening and Living the Word — (James Series Episode 3)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] Listening and Living the Word — James Series Episode 3 In Episode 3 of our James series, we explore one of the most practical and challenging passages in the entire book of James:  James 1:19–27 “Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” In a world filled with noise, reactions, arguments, and distractions, God’s Word calls us to something deeper: Not just hearing truth… but living it. In this episode, we talk about: • learning to listen before reacting • allowing God’s Word to shape our hearts • becoming doers of the Word and not hearers only • and what genuine faith looks like in everyday life Because faith was never meant to stay only in our heads. God wants His truth to shape: our words, our attitudes, our relationships, and the way we live daily. We also explore how real faith becomes visible through compassion, humility, obedience, and caring for others. And when we begin living out God’s Word… our lives begin reflecting Jesus more clearly. That… is the Jesus Effect. This episode of The Jesus Effect was written and hosted by me, Steve McLane. If this message touched your heart, please consider sharing it.

Who Am I in the Bible? - Faithful in Worship and Witness (Episode 29)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] This week on The Jesus Effect, our Who Am I in the Bible? series continues with the story of a woman whose life was marked by worship, prayer, and faithful devotion to God. Though many may have overlooked her, heaven did not. For years she remained close to the presence of God — worshiping, praying, and trusting through every season of life. And one ordinary day in the temple, her faithful devotion prepared her heart to recognize what others could not yet see: The promised Savior had come. This episode is a powerful reminder that quiet faithfulness matters, that God sees every season of devotion, and that a true encounter with Jesus always leads us to share hope with others.

Jesus: Wisdom for Everyday Life — (James Series - Episode 2)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] In Episode 2 of our James series, we explore one of the most practical and encouraging promises in Scripture:  “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God…” — James 1:5 Life constantly places us in situations where we need direction: relationships, parenting, stress, difficult decisions, uncertain seasons, and moments where we simply don’t know what to do. James reminds us that God does not expect us to navigate life alone. He invites us to seek Him for wisdom — not just during emergencies, but in everyday life. In this episode, we talk about: • the difference between knowledge and godly wisdom • why God welcomes our dependence on Him • what it means to trust God when we ask • and how wisdom should shape the way we live daily Because wisdom is not simply asking: “What do I want to do?” Wisdom asks: “What would honor Christ?” And when we begin seeking God first… something changes inside us. That… is the Jesus Effect.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2459491/fan_mail/new] Faith in the Middle of the Trial — James Series Episode 1 In this first episode of our James series, we step into one of the most challenging and encouraging passages in the New Testament: James 1:1–12.

Together we explore: • why James says to “consider it pure joy” during trials • how God uses hardship to mature our faith • why wisdom matters in difficult seasons • and how real faith is revealed when life becomes hard If you’ve been walking through uncertainty, stress, fear, or discouragement, this episode is a reminder that God has not abandoned you. He is still present. Still faithful. And still at work in your life.  James 1:1–12 Because real faith isn’t only something we believe… It’s something we live. And when we continue trusting God through the trial… our faith begins to grow. That… is the Jesus Effect.
