Show Notes — The Bait of Satan: John Bevere

• Offense is inevitable; remaining offended is a choice

• Unresolved pain leads to bitterness and spiritual captivity

• Forgiveness is an act of obedience, not a feeling

• Releasing judgment breaks the enemy’s influence

• God uses mistreatment to refine character and deepen trust

• Healing begins when we stop replaying the offense

• True freedom comes from trusting God’s justice and timing

• Peace follows surrender, not retaliation

With the cats:

• Our cats remind us to rest, let go, and live in peace

• Like Jaggy and Tedi, choose calm over conflict and trust daily provision

Cat81 Studios – Vacation & Station Notice

Cat81 Studios will be temporarily offline for a one-week vacation period and will return Friday, January 9, 2026, at 0500 Eastern Time (USA).

During this time, I will be focusing on the care of Jaggy, who has recently been diagnosed with diabetes. While his other medical conditions are currently well controlled, this past week—and the coming days—are critical as we carefully determine his precise insulin requirements. This requires close monitoring and dedicated time.

In addition, Cat81 Studios will be completing several behind-the-scenes upgrades to both software and hardware to improve overall station performance.

While we are away, you can enjoy our archive of over 1,700 episodes, available at any time. Programming will fully resume the morning of January 9, 2026.

Please keep Jaggy in your prayers. Tedi will be holding down the fort in the meantime.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

In this encouraging message, Joyce Meyer reminds us that new beginnings often require God to lovingly remove what no longer serves His purpose in our lives. Just as pruning helps a plant grow stronger, God’s cutting away of unhealthy attitudes, distractions, and relationships prepares us for greater fruitfulness.

Joyce teaches that surrender is an act of trust, not loss. When we stop resisting God’s process and allow Him to refine us, clarity, peace, and direction follow. The new year becomes a season of alignment with God’s will rather than striving in our own strength.

And as always here at Cat81, Jaggy and Tedi are curled up nearby, reminding us that even during seasons of pruning, God surrounds us with comfort, companionship, and quiet reminders of His care. Sometimes the cutting happens… while the kitties are peacefully sleeping.

Key Takeaway:
Let God do the pruning. Trust the process. His plan unfolds beautifully—often more gently than we expect, and sometimes with a cat on your lap.

Show Notes — How to Discern God’s Direction for the New Year
Pastor Vlad Savchuk

In this timely teaching, Pastor Vlad Savchuk explains that discerning God’s direction for a new year begins with spiritual alignment, not hurried decision-making. He emphasizes prayer, fasting, and surrender as essential foundations for hearing God clearly. Direction from God is confirmed through Scripture, the peace of the Holy Spirit, and godly counsel—not pressure, fear, or impatience.

Pastor Vlad reminds us that waiting on God is not wasted time. Clarity often comes in stillness, and God’s guidance will always draw us closer to Him, never into confusion. He challenges listeners to distinguish between good opportunities and God-ordained assignments, noting that not every open door is meant to be walked through.

As this message unfolds, our faithful studio cats, Jaggy and Tedi, quietly supervise the broadcast—resting peacefully and reminding us that discernment often flows best from a calm, attentive heart. A powerful encouragement to enter the new year listening more closely, trusting more deeply, and following God’s lead with confidence and peace.

Cat81 Radio — Show Notes
Topic: God Can Restore Your Circumstances
Teacher: Priscilla Shirer
Studio Companions: Jaggy & Tedi 🐾

In this powerful teaching, Priscilla Shirer reminds us that no circumstance is beyond God’s ability to restore. Whether the situation involves loss, delay, disappointment, or apparent failure, God is still actively working—often in ways we cannot yet see. Restoration is not confined to human timelines or expectations; it unfolds according to God’s sovereign purpose.

She emphasizes that faith requires steadfast trust and obedience, even when answers seem slow in coming. God can redeem what was broken, revive what was dormant, and bring beauty from what once appeared beyond repair. While restoration may not look exactly like a return to the past, it will always reflect God’s perfect will and bring renewed hope and strength.

As Jaggy and Tedi quietly supervise the studio, this episode encourages listeners to stay prayerful, remain faithful, and trust that God is fully capable of restoring every circumstance placed in His hands.

In this message, Pastor Vlad Savchuk explains that one of the clearest signs of a spiritual season change is when God removes certain people from your life. These separations are not punishments, but divine protections and preparations. God may remove relationships that no longer align with His purpose, calling, or the direction He is taking you.

Pastor Vlad emphasizes that holding on to people from a past season can delay growth in the next one. Letting go requires trust, maturity, and obedience, even when it is painful or confusing. God often removes people quietly so He can heal, refine, and reposition His children for what lies ahead.

And yes—cats are part of the lesson too. Jaggy and Tedi remind us that God also gives constant companions who bring peace, comfort, and unconditional presence. While some people are seasonal, God provides steady love through His creation, reminding us that we are never truly alone as He guides us into the next season.

In How to Rebuild Faith in Your Future, Pastor Jentezen Franklin teaches that faith is not rooted in past failures or present disappointments, but in God’s promises and purpose. He explains that seasons of loss, delay, or uncertainty can weaken hope if we focus on what went wrong instead of what God is still doing.

Franklin emphasizes renewing the mind through Scripture, releasing regret, and refusing to let fear dictate expectations. Faith is rebuilt when believers choose obedience, trust God’s timing, and keep moving forward even when the outcome is unclear.

As always, Jaggy and Tedi remind listeners that quiet trust matters. Just as they rest calmly, confident they are cared for, believers are called to rest in God’s faithfulness—knowing He is working behind the scenes and that the future He has prepared is still good.

In this episode, Marilyn Hickey walks us through Revelation Chapter Two, where Jesus speaks directly to the Church. Four churches—Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira—are addressed with honesty, love, correction, and promise. Jesus sees everything: faithfulness, suffering, compromise, and perseverance.

The message is clear and timeless. Jesus calls believers to return to their first love, remain faithful under pressure, reject compromise, and walk in truth. Each letter ends with a promise to those who overcome, reminding us that obedience and endurance matter.

Jaggy and Tedi are right here with us as we share this episode, reminding us that God’s Word is meant to be passed along. Just as these messages were shared with the churches, we are encouraged to share this teaching with others—family, friends, and anyone who needs encouragement and truth.

If this episode blesses you, please share it. God’s Word still speaks, still corrects, and still restores hearts today.
