One Thing Lacking

Based on Mark 10:17-31 ‘One Thing Lacking’ explores the depths of faith and spirituality in Christian believers. In today's episode, we reflect on the interaction between Jesus and the rich young ruler from Mark 10:17-31. Though this man appeared to have everything—wealth, status, and religious devotion—Jesus revealed that one thing was still lacking. As we unpack this story, we'll consider what might be missing in our own lives and how we can fully embrace the grace of God and what it truly means to live with meaning and purpose in Christ. It is my prayer that this message blesses you.

  • Unclear Reality

    22:45|
    In today’s message, "Unclear Reality," explores the tension between what we see and what is truly real. Drawing from Mark 8:23–26, we confront the spiritual blindness that clouds our vision in a fallen world. Like the blind man healed in stages, we often move through life with blurred understanding, trusting broken vision and chasing distractions. But there is hope: by seeking God's truth, living by faith, fixing our eyes on Jesus, and walking with the Holy Spirit, we can find clarity in the midst of confusion. It is my prayer that in listening to this podcast you will discover the path to clear sight in an unclear world.

  • The Trophy I Seek

    19:59|
    Based on Hebrews 11:13-16, “The Trophy I Seek” challenges listeners of Pneuma Podcast to consider what trophy they are truly seeking, earthly rewards or an eternal crown. The key text shows how faith heroes pursued a heavenly vision, not earthly gain. Paul, in 2 Timothy 4:7-8, fixed his eyes on the "crown of righteousness," urging believers in Jesus Christ to fight to finish, so that in the end we would hear Christ say, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21). This is a clarion call: reject fleeting trophies, run the race with endurance, and live for the only reward that lasts, God’s eternal approval. Run for the crown! It is my prayer that this message blesses you.

    Based on Matthew 10:11-14, 'Change of Scenery: A Path to Positive Growth' is a reflection on how challenging life can be especially when you are in a hostile environment.Life's challenges can often leave us feeling stuck and unfulfilled, particularly when our surroundings hinder growth.

This passage highlights the importance of aligning ourselves with spaces and relationships that nurture our potential.

    23:48|
    "Searching and Finding the Lost Part of Yourself Along Life’s Pathway," draws from Luke 15:1-10, where Jesus speaks of a shepherd who loses a sheep and a woman who loses a coin. These parables mirror the personal losses we experience in life. Whether it's our faith, hope, or sense of self, we all lose parts of ourselves along the way. But, like the shepherd and the woman, we are called to search for and reclaim those lost parts, with the hope of finding wholeness and redemption in Christ. It is my prayer that this message blesses you. Shalom!
