  • Can Jesus Give Lasting Peace?

    Can Jesus Give Lasting Peace?
    Jul 12 2025
    Are you searching for lasting peace amid life’s storms? Stress, anxiety, and uncertainty are common struggles, but the peace Jesus offers is unlike anything the world can give. In this devotional, Vivian Bricker shares how the peace of Christ surpasses temporary fixes and brings lasting transformation. Through trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord, we can experience a profound peace that calms our hearts even in difficult times. Highlights The world offers fleeting relief through self-help tips and distractions, but Jesus offers lasting peace that truly satisfies (Philippians 4:7). Accepting Jesus as your Savior—believing in His death and resurrection—is the key to receiving His peace (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; 1 John 3:1). Jesus’ peace does not fade or get taken away, even when life feels chaotic (John 14:27). You can surrender your worries, anxieties, and fears to Jesus and find rest at His feet (John 16:33). Lasting peace often grows gradually; remain open-hearted and patient as Jesus works in your life. Counseling and therapy can coexist with faith, complementing the peace Jesus provides. 💬 Join the Conversation: Have you experienced the peace of Christ in your life?

By Vivian Bricker Bible Reading: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). Have you ever felt so stressed out that you were at your breaking point? Maybe you were going through a divorce, you failed a test at college, or you simply felt anxious about the future. Did you know that it doesn’t have to be this way? If somebody told you today that you could have lasting peace, would you accept it? The truth is that you can have lasting peace, but the only way is through Jesus Christ. The world today tries to give us temporary highs or self-help tricks to keep our minds off our stress and anxiety, but these quick fixes never last. While some of these techniques and tips can benefit us and we should utilize them, we have to know that they are not the same as Jesus’ peace. However, therapy should be continued and endorsed within the Christian community. We don’t need to believe that counseling and Jesus cannot co-exist, because they can. Nonetheless, Jesus wants you to have the peace that only He can offer you. When you truly have the peace of Jesus, your life will be transformed, and you will feel a peace that you have never experienced before (Philippians 4:7). This peace will wash over you and provide your weary heart with what it needs. We can obtain Jesus's peace by trusting in Him and giving all control to Him. We do this when we accept Him as our Savior and Lord. Accepting Him as your Savior and Lord consists of believing that He died for your sins, was buried, and rose again (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). After you believe that He is God and that He died and rose again, you become a child of God, and this is where peace begins (1 John 3:1). Everyone is looking for peace, but often in the wrong places. Jesus gives the peace that surpasses understanding. He wants you to come to Him and have peace. He never wants you to feel weighed down by the anxieties of life. Jesus gives lasting peace, and His peace begins as soon as you accept Him. This peace isn’t something that is hard to obtain, as it is freely given by the Lord Himself. Intersecting Faith & Life: Jesus says, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14:27). The peace that Jesus has given us will never fade away nor can it be taken away. Even if everything around us is falling apart, His peace still remains. While it might take some time before you fully embrace His peace, it is already waiting for you. Go to Him today and tell Him about your feelings. All of your anxieties, worries, and fears, lay them at His feet. Jesus knows this world is full of hardships and troubles, and He is always more than happy to help us. As Jesus says, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33). Even amidst the troubles, Jesus still reigns, and His peace is still shining bright. This is the beauty of His peace. We will feel more at ease by knowing the Lord, fully trusting in Him, and patiently waiting on Him. This doesn’t...

  • The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves

    The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves
    Jul 11 2025
    The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves is a powerful devotional that explores Peter’s journey from boldness to denial—and Jesus’ divine insight into his heart. It reminds us that even when we believe we’re ready, God’s timing is intentional. Jesus sees not only who we are now, but also who we are becoming. If you’re feeling stuck in a season of waiting or wondering why God hasn’t “put you in the game,” this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and comfort. ✨ Highlights: Luke 22:31–34 sets the scene: Jesus warns Peter about Satan’s plans—and reveals Peter’s future denial. Peter, full of confidence, says he’s ready for prison or death… but Jesus knows the truth. The devotional reflects on how our zeal doesn’t always match our maturity—and how Jesus intercedes and lovingly guides us. Just like Peter, we may overestimate our readiness, but God sees the full picture of our hearts, trials, and future impact. Encouragement for believers who feel overlooked or underused: God plays the long game, and His plans are rooted in both mercy and foresight. 💬 Join the Conversation: We want to hear from you! Have you ever felt like Peter—ready and willing, but waiting on God's timing? Or maybe you've seen how God used a failure to bring about growth in your life? 👉 Share your story with us on Instagram and tag @lifeaudionetwork using #FaithInTheWaiting.Let us know: What is God teaching you in this season? How has He revealed something deeper about yourself—something you didn’t even see? How are you learning to trust the God who knows you better than you know yourself? 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: "Welcome to The Crosswalk Devotional. We're glad to have you listening with us. Today's topic is [share a few words about the devotional's main theme/topic]. We'll return with the devotional after a brief message from our sponsors." Take a 5-second pause, then say, "[Title of devotional] written and read by Deidre Braley." Then, proceed to read the devotional. The God Who Knows Us Better Than We Know Ourselves Luke 22:31-34: “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” Jesus said, “I tell you Peter, the rooster will not crow this day until you deny me three times.” If our faith journeys had mantras, mine would be, “Put me in, Coach!” I have always been chomping at the bit for God to put me in the game. If the world was a soccer match, I’d be the player on the sideline, jumping up and down with my hand raised screaming, “I’ve got this! Pick me! Pick me!” Sure, my footwork could use some precision and my endurance could stand a boost, but what I lack in raw talent I am certain I can make up for in spirit. This is how I imagine Simon Peter, too. Peter was the disciple who boldly named Jesus the Messiah (Matthew 16:16), who jumped out of his boat to walk on water towards Jesus (Matthew 14:28-30), and then who leapt out of his boat again to reach Jesus on the shore after his resurrection (John 21:7). He was impulsive, zealous, and earnest, and he seemed to be eager to be used by God. But on the night of his betrayal, Jesus turned to Peter and told him that Satan had demanded to “sift him like wheat,” and that he had prayed that Peter’s faith wouldn’t fail (Luke 22:31-32). Indignant, Peter said, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death” (Luke 22:33). It’s clear he believes his faith is solid as the rock he’s been named for; in this moment, he cannot conceive the possibility that it will falter. This moment is important because it shows that our own understanding of our capacities, abilities, and firmness of faith is not always in alignment with reality. Peter seemed to truly believe that he would go to prison or even death alongside Jesus, but when the moment of testing came, he was not able. Yet Jesus always knows the state of our hearts and content of our character more clearly than we see it ourselves. He indicates this in the conversation with Peter when he predicts that he will, in fact, deny him three times before morning even comes (Luke 22:34). But here’s something else Jesus sees which we can not: our capacity for growth—where we will be, someday. Jesus doesn’t turn to Peter and say, “You may or may not make it through this trial. Your faith may or may not crumble. Who knows how things will turn out for you?” He says, “And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers” (Luke 22:32, emphasis mine). He is certain that Peter will not only return with a renewed faith, but that he ...

  • Taking the Marriage Plunge

    Taking the Marriage Plunge
    Jul 10 2025
    Taking the Marriage Plunge: Why Commitment Still MattersIn today’s culture of overthinking, swiping, and fear of missing out, many Christian singles view marriage as too risky. But Lynette Kittle reminds us that God's design for marriage is not based on feelings or flawless partners—it’s rooted in faith, courage, and self-sacrifice, just as Christ laid down His life for the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Whether you’re navigating modern Christian dating or wrestling with the fear of commitment, this devotional offers a fresh and faithful perspective on why marriage is still worth the plunge. ✨ Highlights ✅ Christian marriage isn’t about finding the “perfect” person, but being willing to trust God through the unknown. ✅ Fear of commitment and the “what-ifs” can keep many from embracing God's purpose for marriage. ✅ WWII couples embraced marriage even in crisis—proving love often requires sacrifice over certainty. ✅ Ephesians 5:25 calls husbands to love sacrificially—marriage is spiritual warfare, not emotional convenience. ✅ In a culture that fears lifelong decisions, trusting God in marriage is a powerful act of obedience. 💬 Join the Conversation Has fear of the unknown held you back from marriage?Share how God is shaping your heart toward commitment and faith-filled relationships. Tag @LifeaudioNetwork with #MarriageIsWorthThePlunge and join others who are choosing to trust God's vision for love and lifelong partnership. 🎙🎶 SUBSCRIBE to our NEW SHOW — Your Nightly Prayer 🌟 Check out other Crosswalk Podcasts: Crosswalk Talk: Celebrity Christian Interviews Full Transcript Below: Taking the Marriage Plunge By Lynette Kittle “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her”-- Ephesians 5:25 Marriage seemed easier to attain decades ago, when high school sweethearts couldn’t wait to take the giant plunge into Holy Matrimony after graduation. Young, hopeful, and optimistic, they weren’t really considering all that could go wrong in a marriage, or thinking of the fears and changes that could occur. They just fearlessly took the plunge into it free from over-thinking it and the heaviness of countless “what ifs.” Also, during WWII, soldiers facing going to war, took the plunge and had the opportunity to wed their sweethearts before shipping out and thank goodness they did, too, or many of us wouldn’t be here today. Their heartfelt choices to marry before going off to fight helped to keep our nation growing and moving forward, because although thousands of young men would never return from battle, losing their lives in war, many still live on through their wives and children left behind. Marriage Is for Risk Takers Sadly, it seems nowadays, marriage is too risky of a union for many singles who over-think and fear how it could go wrong, trying to figure out the worst-case scenarios, keeping individuals at a distance from the very thought of saying “I do.” It’s paralyzing to countless singles, men and women afraid of missing out or choosing the wrong person, fearful of discovering a spouse isn’t as perfect as they first thought and reluctant to face the unknowns of unexpected struggles and difficulties. They want a sure-fire guarantee that their spouse-to-be is the “right one” and will remain who they think they are in the moment. As well, having the world at our fingertips has proven to be a bit overwhelming, with the possibility of finding a mate on the other side of the earth through social media, along with the available endless singles showing up daily on online dating sites, as well as the opportunity to swipe a new date multiple times a day. This global broadening of the dating pool, with the lookout for the next best girl or guy, is keeping men and women from committing, fearful of missing out on their dream person who might just be out there somewhere. Trending Plunges Although individuals clamored to join others around the world to take the “cold water plunge,” an act supposedly proving how gutsy and brave they are, are still running the other direction when it comes to taking the marriage plunge. During WWII, marriage was trendy because it was fueled by thousands of men facing the possibility of going to war and facing death. In comparison, the risk of marriage seemed far less risky than the risks of war. Still, the commitment to marriage and war seems similar, in that, both in wartime and holy matrimony, men are called on to give their all, including their lives, as the Apostle Paul explains in Ephesians 5:25 calling husbands to love their wives just like Christ loved the Church and laid down His life for her. Men giving up their lives for their wives began in the Garden of Eden, as explained in Genesis 2:24. “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” Both in wartime and marriage, men are motivated to sacrifice ...
