Known and LovedKnown and LovedAll Your Mind Pt.2What does it mean to love the Lord our God with all our mind? How does our thinking about God shape who we are and how we relate to the world? We started answering these questions last episode as part of our series on the Greatest Commandment: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your MIND and all your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. Today we go deeper into this aspect of loving God with all our mind by examining three different worldviews that shape who we are and how we...2025-07-2225 minEmpowered BusinessEmpowered Business94. 5 Smart Ways to Use No-Code Apps to Grow Your Digital Product BusinessIn today’s episode, I’m building on the conversation I had with Jordan Gill in Episode 89.

How does what we think about God shape who we are? The Greatest Commandment says to Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your MIND and all your strength. There is an important aspect to our loving God and others, that is more than just an emotional rush.  Real love is deliberate. It is purposeful. It is thoughtful and it takes action.  Paul tells us in Colossians to “Set your MINDS on things above, not on earthly things.” That means an active portion of our...2025-07-0822 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedAll Your HeartWhat is love? What does it mean to love? What does it mean to love God with all our hearts? In today’s episode we are beginning in earnest our examination of the Greatest Commandment: Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. Love is by definition relational which means that love is not just an emotion describing how we feel. LOVE is a verb- an action word! When we Love God with all our heart then our love in action will lo...2025-06-2423 minEmpowered BusinessEmpowered Business89: Wait… Jordan Gill Built That With AI?!

We will also be trying to understand that this God of ours is EPIC and multidimensional- That’s why we do need to love him and each other with all of these facets of our being. 2025-06-1028 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedThe Strait GateSpiritual disciplines don’t exist to restrict us, they exist to free us. We enter in them confined and then emerge on the other side finding life and open spaces. We close this series by looking at tips for how to be successful in motivating our hearts to embrace a Secret Life with God, understanding this is how we build intimacy with the God of the universe who knows and loves us. This is how we become conformed to His likeness, and whatever He asks of us is nothing that He has not already done for us.2025-05-2729 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedQuality TimeHow do we motivate ourselves to engage in Spiritual disciplines? In our last episode we said we need to make two important perspective shifts. The first, which we covered in Episode 35 is: The Bible is not about you! The Bible is about God and what he has done for you. Today we are going to look at perspective shift #2: Quality Time. Spiritual Disciplines of praying, fasting and giving in secret are all opportunities for spending QUALITY time with Jesus. Because You can never get enough of Jesus and Jesus can never get enough of you! Jesus is the Answer! J...2025-05-1326 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedThe Bible is Not About YouSpiritual disciplines are often duties before they become delights. If you only practice spiritual disciplines for immediate gratification then you’ll stop doing them. Spiritual disciplines require just that: discipline and delayed gratification. We have to press through this because when we practice these spiritual disciplines we are creating spiritual deposits of God’s resources that we need to navigate life well.In order to motivate our hearts toward these spiritual disciplines we need two perspective changes about our time in the word & spiritual disciplines. Today we focus on The First perspective shift: The Bi...2025-04-2922 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedGod's D-day InvasionWe have to confront the reality that when Jesus was born the spiritual realm was thrust into a great battle in the ongoing war between God and Satan. When Jesus came into the world, Spiritual warfare was at a pique. Yes, peace is coming, but peace has a cost—that cost is paid in battle! The birth of Christ was far more like God’s D-day invasion than an olive branch extended on a silent night. Listen to all the way to the end for a special announcement!!Teaching Fearless: Monica Gill’...2025-04-1520 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedSecret AgentDid you realize that whenever you pray, you are acting as an Agent of Rebellion? The Christian worldview sees the world as enemy occupied territory. As you pray you come to realize that you are in the heart of that enemy occupied territory and you are part of the rebellion to take back the kingdom. You are a member of “the resistance” much like the French or Dutch underground against the Nazi’s in World War II. Understand that when you pray you are in a state of rebellion against the brokenness of this world acting as God’s Secret A...2025-04-0119 minFearless with Cissie Graham LynchFearless with Cissie Graham LynchTeaching Fearless: Monica Gill’s Mission in a Culture of CompromiseToday on Fearless, Cissie Graham Lynch sits down with public school teacher Monica Gill and Alliance Defending Freedom’s Senior Counsel, Tyson Langhofer, to explore what it looks like to boldly live out your faith in the heart of cultural opposition.

The tension is that it requires both the conjuring of the will AND the reliance on the supernatural power of God’s love flowing from our life.2025-03-1816 minDJ ProdigyDJ ProdigySlow Jams Vol. 2 | RNB MixshowSlow Jams Vol. 2The perfect blend of classic and modern R&B!

Forgiveness is not cheap. It is painful. What does extending forgiveness look like? It looks like Jesus dying on the cross. It looks like me and you doing the same for those who “owe” us for wrongs they’ve done.2025-03-0423 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedDo You Love Me?When you look at Jesus’ sacrifice- how big is the cross? The greater we have a view of God’s Holiness the greater a view we have of our own sinfulness. If you see how big your own sinfulness is you have a much bigger view of the cross. The power to forgive comes from being transformed by his forgiveness. After his denial Jesus asked Peter three times “Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you love me?” He asked three times to unravel or “redeem” Peter’s three betrayals. Jesus stands before us and asks us each individuall...2025-02-1817 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedThere is No Forgiveness without LoveToday we are going to focus on the first truth about forgiveness- and that is there is No Forgiveness without Love- He loved you anyway!

He got up off the ground in strength and faced the suffering, enduring it in continued strength.

What can we learn from these wise men? Did they just have a one-time encounter with God and then go home? I have my doubts. If this was truly a momentous occasion, a real encounter with the Messiah, I bet they went home and spread the good news… that a King who had all authority in heaven and on earth, a King whose kingdom would never end, had finally come for the world. They wou...2024-12-1711 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedWaiting for Jesus & The Unsung HeroAs we await the celebration of the birth of our savior take a moment to examine not only how sweet this season is- but to look into the life of one of the Bible’s unsung heroes and what we can learn from him about how obedience is the highest expression of our LOVE for our Heavenly Father.2024-12-0320 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedAdorationEverything in prayer life changes when we focus FIRST on just adoring God. Tell God how amazing, magnificent and wonderful he is. How you are blessed by the extravagance of His love. How he was YOUR Jesus and hero. And do you know why things change? It won't be because you are pumping up God’s ego and all of the sudden He says: “Well, they're is finally telling me how great I am- Now I am going to give out some rewards!” No. That’s not how things happened at all. Think about it. Why does God want us to spen...2024-11-1912 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedPraying in SecretWhy does Jesus tell us to go pray in secret? Remember Jesus also says in Matthew 6: for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. So- Why go to our secret place and petition God if he already knows our petitions and our needs? The point is this- Prayer doesn’t change God, it changes us. The point of petition is not to pray fervently for what we want. It’s a time to allow God to work on our hearts so our petitions come in line with what God wants. 2024-11-0519 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedSoul FoodWhen we fast, we set our hearts above on Jesus and it reminds us that God sustains us! It is here you realize that He is your provision for a fully satisfied life. Remember Jesus is our Daily bread! John 6:35: Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. The challenge for you is to be sure you are getting your daily diet of spiritual food!

Time, Talent, and Treasure- ask yourself: Where does it all go? It’s painful to expend resources on things you don’t like, but if it’s something you really love--- the money and the time flies right out of your wallet and eats up your schedule! Is Jesus the place where you are expending your resources? 2024-10-0822 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedThe Servant's HeartWhat does Jesus mean by Giving in Secret? What is one factor that gets in the way of our giving and choosing to be a servant for Christ? It is our own self-righteousness. There is a difference between choosing to serve and choosing to be a servant. When we choose to serve we put our “self” in charge and we hold the power. We expect “appreciation” for our deeds or we worry about being taken advantage of by those we are ”helping.” However, when we choose to be a servant we realize: A servant has no power. Servants are bound to all...2024-09-2422 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedGiving in Secret Part 1: The Full Extent of His LoveIn today’s episode of Known and Loved we continue our series, A Secret Life, based on the teachings of Jesus in Matthew chapter 6. In this series we are examining the question: How do we deepen our relationship with God and gain security in the truth that we are known and loved by him? We search for the answers to that question in this episode by examining the idea of pursuing a Secret life with God through our giving. Today we find that transforming lives comes from all aspects of giving. God doesn’t just want us to throw our...2024-09-1015 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedThe AmbianceToday we aim to create the ambiance of The Secret Life. The goal is not to create a check-list, but rather to reorient our hearts. In this episode we  unpack a couple of classics in literature that help illustrate how to motivate our hearts toward the pursuit of a Secret Life with God. In unpacking these great works of literature we will see reflections of the gospel that will help orient our hearts toward Jesus. In John 15:9 Jesus says: "As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.” Jesus says “I love you like God lo...2024-08-2727 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedA Secret Life - The InvitationIn today’s episode of Known and Loved we begin a new series called A Secret Life based on the teachings of Jesus in Matthew chapter 6 on the spiritual disciplines of giving, praying and fasting.

We will explore the answer to this question as we look at the pursuit of a secret life with God.

Joy and pleasures forevermore are an unfading treasure for your eternity, but that richness is also available to you RIGHT now, in every moment that you place yourself in his presence. Where can we find pleasures forevermore?

Here we find that each day we choose. We choose to run around by the tyranny of the urgent, fretting over things we cannot control and over the things we think we can control and all the “to do’s” on our list, and worry about not having enough time to do any of them. Or we choose the ONE THING we need- and sit at the feet of Jesus. Jesus even tells us which is the better choice— so choose what IS better!2024-07-0214 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedWhere's the Joy?Today we look to where we can find true joy. Psalm 16: 11 says: “In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” There is only one place where we can be filled with true joy! There is only one place where joy flows abundantly and eternally: In the presence of Jesus.  If we struggle with experiencing true joy, we have to ask ourselves this tough question: Where am I? We have a choice each day— we can place ourselves in the presence of the Lord every day. If we make this choice we find true joy.2024-06-1813 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedGod is Big EnoughIn today’s episode of Known & Loved we look at who God is- and that He IS big enough. We examine His attributes and why we can trust Him, because not only is He eternal and outside of time, He intersected the timeline to rescue us!  We also look at His intentions for us in times of suffering or difficulty. God intends for us to give thanks in all circumstances— to be praying continuously through every circumstance, never losing hold of the joy we have in Him, while giving thanks, not necessarily for the suffering, but even...2024-06-0416 minKnown and LovedKnown and LovedI Will Not Forget YouThe first time I found Grace drawing on herself I opened the palms of her hands and saw crosses and hearts on one hand, and "I LOVE GOD!" inscribed on the other. She looked up at me and said: “It’s because I just LOVE him so MUCH!” I want to love Jesus in a way that is “written” all over me.

Clearly, attacks take different forms, and there have been some high profile examples, such as the ransomware attack on healthcare, EMA (European Medicines Agency), the recent Colonial Pipeline Co incidents to name but two.

I don’t know what makes you forget about God, but I know how we can get back to him! Remember who you are! Remember who loves you, and remember who you love. It is spelled out in Psalm 51 where we see David remember his one true love, go back to God, and become transformed. We continue to examine verses Psalm 9-10 and pair them with Psalm 51 to illustrate our SOUL SECURITY rests with Jesus, our one true love...2024-05-0719 minSecurity Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin GillSecurity Thought Leadership: in conversation with Martin GillHow are technologies helping and hindering security?A video and summary of this session is available here.While technologies are changing society dramatically and security too, this is far from an unqualified good. For example, offenders use technology too and exploit users’ vulnerabilities for their own nefarious aims. The ultimate test for technologies – not least in a security context – rests on them performing well in testing environments, so what are we learning? To what extent is technology offering new opportunities for better security and where is it floundering? How are technologies interacting with people?

Or maybe as a grown up you’ve just been lost in a scary place that you know is no place to be. If you’ve had any of these experiences you know to your core how desperate you feel in that moment. The question is— to what degree do we realize our spiritual lost-ness?

In this segment we are assured that the Lord has set us up for a certain purpose. Who we are, our identity, is directly connected with God’s purpose for our lives. Our “telos” as the Greeks referred to it- our purpose is another aspect of our identity shaped by God. The Lord intends us to be “salt & light.” But what does that mean for us in todays’ world? Who are we? We are people who love God and love others. They will know us by our love.2024-02-2724 minScientific Sense ®Scientific Sense ®Prof. Monica L.
