Watch Your Posture — It's Not Time to Hunker Down

Stop Asking God to Bless What He's Been Trying to Redirect | Pain Is a Divine

Pain is not your enemy. Pain is the alarm system telling you your enemy exists. We've been taught to treat pain like something to medicate, mute, manage, or run from. But pain is the divine signal that something somewhere is out of agreement with what God ordered. If you spend all your energy trying to silence the alarm, you'll never go looking for the fire. In this episode, Jera unpacks the difference between pain that means "get out" and pain that means "push through" and why your decisions are deciding your stress more than you may realize. This is a teaching about disorder, transition, and the quiet way God uses discomfort to recover you back to Himself. 📖 Anchored in Psalm 30:5 Welcome to Trust God and Be Real® with Jera Lincoln.

When the Church Becomes Your God | Trusting the Map, Not the Maker

You can attend every service. Tithe faithfully. Serve on every committee. Know every pastor by name. And still not know Him.This episode is the full Trusting the Map, Not the Maker teaching, a 7-day series delivered in one sit-down. It started on a Sunday drive with my husband Jimmy when we passed a beautiful, traditional church and something rose up in me. I was pleased, and in the same moment, sad. Because I sensed the beauty of the tradition might have quietly become the thing being worshipped, instead of the God the tradition is supposed to worship.That's what this episode is about. Naming the quiet substitution. And finding the way back to the Maker.📖 Anchored in Matthew 15:8📥 A free companion Reflection Guide is available at jeralincoln.com and goodandperfectgiftsinternational.org—Welcome to Trust God and Be Real with Jera Lincoln, real talk about faith, identity, and walking out your God-given purpose.

Reaching for What You Already Have

What if the very first lie ever told was a trick to get Adam and Eve to reach for something they already had? They were already made in God's image. Already like Him. And the serpent convinced them they had to grab for what was already in their hands. That's the oldest trick in the book, and it's still the trick being played on the church today. Salvation has been reduced to a ticket: get saved, behave, hold on, wait for rescue. But that's not the gospel Jesus preached. He preached the Kingdom. Present tense. On earth as it is in heaven. The performance church traded the Kingdom for a waiting room, and it's time to take it back.

Watch Your Posture — It's Not Time to Hunker Down

"Stand up straight, Jera" — she heard it her whole life. But today it's not about physical posture. It's about the posture of our perspective. When Jera saw a news story about a church being burned in America, her husband said, "They're trying to divide us." But here's what God laid on her heart: Why hasn't He stopped these people? Because of His mercy, grace, and patience. Remember — Paul used to be Saul, killing Christians. Some of the people coming against the gospel right now could be the modern day Pauls God is about to raise up. It's not time to hunker down. It's time to stand up straight, pray, and ask God how we can partner with Him in the harvest.Welcome to Trust God and Be Real with Jera Lincoln — real talk about faith, identity, and walking out your God-given purpose.

Are You a Troublemaker for Christ?

In the Old Testament, life got better when God's people drew closer to Him. But in the New Testament? The closer the disciples walked with Jesus, the more trouble they found — prison, persecution, even death. So what does that mean for us today? Jera digs into a question worth pondering: Are we just following the rituals of Christianity, or are we actually following Christ? Because if the devil's not giving you any trouble, you might need to examine your walk. Christ in us is the hope of glory — but the world will hate that Christ in us.Welcome to Trust God and Be Real with Jera Lincoln — real talk about faith, identity, and walking out your God-given purpose.
