Indignation. Disappointment. Frustration. How do we make sense of things when nothing around us seems to make any sense? Sometimes the weight of discouragement and frustration is so heavy that it makes us feel disappointed, angry, or anxious. In this episode, Todd and special guest-host Yilda Rivera take us to rock-bottom moments in which Moses, Elijah, and Jeremiah experienced emotional meltdowns. How did they cast their anxiety on God? How did God respond? Listen to this episode and learn how these three giants in the faith (Moses, Elijah, and Jeremiah) started a raw and unfiltered conversation with God. Their prayers can teach us about navigating through emotional distress when nothing around makes sense. Know that you don’t have to face extreme pain, grief, or difficulty alone. God is also sad when terrible things happen. He knows about what you are going through. And not only He knows, He wants to walk with you. Accompany Todd and Yilda in this conversation about when the brutality of life meets God’s goodness and be comforted to experience God’s gentle care on a whole new level.

Worry and anxiety work together to conspire against us. These take our sight away from our Maker and steal our peace. So, how can we overcome worry and anxiety when we are surrounded by uncertainty and shaky ground? Our host Todd goes to Matthew 6:25-34. He also shares how that trust that “God will take care of me” helped him constantly throughout the small details of any day and in the big plans during major transitions. Listen to this episode to dive into the Scriptures and learn directly from Jesus why you should worry not. Be encouraged and trust that God will take care of you.

Sometimes songs transport us to moments in life. Other times, they keep speaking to us through the life journey itself. In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, our host, Sara, shares her story and a song that God used to remind her of His purpose and ever-flowing hope amid tears, hurt, and prayers from the deep. Going through a health condition that shattered her dreams of having more kids, lifesaving transfusions, surgery, and further surgery complications, Sara found peace and strength. Listen to this episode to know how a scar that once reminded Sara of shattered dreams and traumatic health events turned into a smile (from a little girl’s perspective). Sara delivers a bold message of hope through her desire to humbly open her heart. It is no coincidence, as she shared, that when she wrote this episode, the Uvalde shooting occurred. So, we invite you to find hope in this episode and join us in her heartfelt prayer for the Uvalde community.

Picture this: you are alone in a quiet house. You head to your go to devotional spot. You close your eyes and start to pray... Suddenly, bedlam erupts in your brain. How do you still the noise? How can you hear God in the cacophony? In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, our hosts dive into this question. A question they themselves sometimes struggle with. If you have trouble hearing God, or even talking to Him without all sorts of distractions and background noise, then you are not alone. God's not done with you yet. He's working on you to mold you and shape you. We are all works in progress. Part of that progress is listening and hearing God's voice. How do we hear God in a world full of noise? Listen as our hosts share scriptural advice and practical tips to find that truth that is God's voice among the many, many distractions and noises of this world.

It happened right after breakfast. A thundering and loud BOOM shook a military base in Afghanistan. There was dust everywhere, like that of an enraged sandstorm. Shattered buildings, walls caved in, and a video revealed the story of how 1,500 pounds of high explosives threatened the lives of those in the military base. But there was a burnt and twisted piece of metal from that vehicle-borne improvised explosive device that revealed another story. Our host kept that twisted metal piece as a reminder of God’s protection for him. In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, Todd takes a deep breath and describes what happened that morning. Through his story, he reminds us that regardless of how big or small our problems may seem, God is there for us. Listen to this episode to see how God carries us through the storms of this life. Do not let the storms of this life overwhelm you. Reach out to Him. Be encouraged to take your problems to God, whether big or small.

Did you find the plastic baby in the King Cake this year? King Cakes, parades, parties and celebrations. People love to talk about Mardi Gras, but when it comes to Ash Wednesday and Lent, the conversation tends to die down. Penitence can be kind of a downer. Sacrifice is hard. But neither have to be. In this episode of "Coffee With Jesus," our host has a slightly different take on Lent, than most people. The Bible tells us: "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice." ~Proverbs 21:3 Join us as our host shares the true purpose behind Lent, and explains his own slightly less orthodox approach to using this time to grow closer to our Father in Heaven. In "Give it Up!" you'll hear both the successes and failures of our hosts personal journey. While our current Lenten season may be close to over, or while Easter may have already passed, the lessons learned are valuable throughout the year. Listen and be encouraged. Then, develop your own strategy for growing in your walk. Brought to you by Coffee With Jesus Ministries: https://coffeewithjesus.info/ Podcast host: Todd Uebele

https://coffeewithjesus.info/ Does it seem like the world’s gone mad? Food shortage! War! Armageddon! Inflation! What in the world is going on??? In this special episode of Coffee With Jesus, our host seeks to offer hope and reassurance in a world seemingly gone mad. Join us as he compares our present to certain points in history and shares scriptures to provide hope and comfort in a world seemingly gone mad. Stress, anxiety, despair all seem to be at record levels. Turn them over to God and replace them with peace, encouragement and comfort. Listen to know that there is hope in spite of the craziness. Listen and know, it is STILL going to be ok.

The amount of constant decision-making we have to do every day is insane. It is aggravated by the things occurring in the world around us—things that we have no control of whatsoever. The worry we felt yesterday may have increased to stress today, and by tomorrow, anxiety may be taking over. So, how can we stop anxiety when it shows up? We know God promised us peace beyond all understanding. Yet, how do we get there? In this episode, our hosts Todd and Sara go over the blueprint to tackle anxiety when it shows up: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7) Listen to this episode to learn a practical way to apply that verse to your day-to-day life. No problem is too big or too small for God to care about it. God cares about you. So, do not be anxious; present your case to God through prayer and thanksgiving. He longs to hear your requests; let him help you.

You're sitting in the pew. There is an usher standing on either side. Then you see it...the offering plate. How much should you put in? What if you don't carry cash? Do you write a check? Who uses checks anymore? While countless sermons have been preached on tithing, our host has some rather unorthodox views on the topic. Is tithing really about putting money in an offering plate or is there something more to it? You've heard it all before: "God loves a cheerful giver!" "Give and you'll be blessed beyond measure!" "Giving to the church is one of God's commands!" What you may not have heard is the real reason God encourages us to give and what tithing truly means: providing HOPE to others. In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, we look to the Bible to discover the history of tithing, from Abraham to the early church. Through biblical study and biblical example, we'll discover what most sermons leave out: the true purpose behind our giving.

Do you have trouble being still? Is it difficult for you to quiet the chaos and draw close to God This sequence of words may not be very appealing: “Be still, and know…” (Psalm 46:10) First, being still is not as easy as it sounds. Second, we want to keep moving…discovering, knowing what lies ahead and what’s next… There is this natural urge to figure out and control our domains, even when doing ministry work. There’s so much to do and know. How can we just stop? This is the second part of Coffee with Jesus, episode 14 (Be Still). Co-hosts Todd and Sara talk about the struggle with domain and control. They talk about the process of “trusted knowing” and how it works. They will also share some tools you can readily use to be still and know the next step in the right direction. Listen to the episode to know how to stop and connect with the gift of the Holy Spirit. And in doing so, learn the power behind this simple prayer: “God help!"

In this episode, our host Todd shares a story of a time when he and his family were going through a very chaotic time.
