God speaks to different people in different ways. When John was on Patmos, he heard one who had a voice like the sound of a trumpet. Throughout the Bible, trumpets have been used in a myriad of ways, from heraldry to bringing down the walls of Jericho.
For the child of God, the trumpet is a sound of hope!
When John was caught up into Heaven, he described and wrote down what he saw. While much of what he observed seems scary, we can take comfort in knowing that whether it's current events or future happenings, God is in control and HE will win in the end!

When you accept Christ as your savior, you are born into a family of believers. These brothers and sisters will watch out for you, help you grow and take care of you when you need it.
However, those outside the family of Christ will persecute you. All over the world Christians are being persecuted, some have lost friends, some have been fired from their jobs and some have been murdered.
The good news is that Christ has overcome the world and those who stand firm will receive the reward of eternal life! Listen and know, that if you have experience persecution, there is hope. Your family will stand by you and your Savior will reward you.

The Bible tells us to "shine like stars in the universe."
Not everyone is called to be a missionary, but each Christian is called to share the Gospel, the Good News of Jesus Christ.
We may not have the words, but we should all have the actions. Living such good lives that we set an example for Christ can do more than a thousand words.
God draws people to Himself and it is up to us to show them the way to Him, through Jesus Christ. We can do this by shining bright and showing them Jesus by how we live.

The day this episode is released is a big day for the United States of America!
USA turns 250!
This is a major milestone for America, but as her citizens celebrate, they do so as a divided nation. Likewise, the body of Christ is also divided. The same politics that divide a nation, also divide the Church.
However, there is hope! Jesus, is not only our savior, He is our guide, our shepherd. Through Jesus, every single person has that hope! Listen and know that while we may be divided in our beliefs, we can all be united in our one Lord and one Savior, Jesus Christ.

A little girl once complained when her father reached down to grab a basinet holding her new brother: "Oh no! Not the baby! He's taking over the whole house!"
In the same way, many Americans feel like AI is taking over their communities. Like that young girl, Americans feel frustrated as they see their bills go up.
If you are in a situation where you are feeling frustrated or hopeless about your surroundings, please know that God is in control!
Jesus is God's only Son, but Revelation refers to him as "firstborn of the dead." Jesus will take care of you, no matter what your situation is.

The Bible is full of numbers that have important meanings. One of the most prevalent numbers, especially in Revelation is seven.
Join Christine and Elizabeth as they continue their deep dive into Revelation, talking about the seven Churches and the importance of walking with God.
Like training for the Olympics, we must train by diving into the Bible, so that we can sense God's voice and His Spirit.

Jesus warned that the last days would be “as in the days of Noah.” The days of Noah were darker and far more complex than many of us realize—and Scripture doesn’t sugar-coat what was going on.
In this episode, we explore the mystery surrounding the Nephilim according to Genesis 6. What do these difficult passages reveal about the nature of the corruption spreading in humankind those days? Why did Noah find grace in God’s eyes?
If you’ve ever wondered how Noah’s story connects to the world we live in today, this conversation will challenge and encourage your faith. Listen now and be reminded about God’s plan of redemption.

You’ve probably heard Noah’s story since childhood—but there’s so much more beneath the surface for believers and nonbelievers today. It’s not just about the ark; it’s about a God, who is both just and merciful, who still saves in the midst of a broken world.
In this episode, we navigate Genesis 6, uncovering mysteries and truths that challenge and encourage us. We see a Noah with more questions than answers, but he trusted God’s faithfulness anyway. Ultimately, we connect the ark to the greater promise of salvation—being covered, sealed, and made righteous not by our efforts, but through Jesus.
If you’re longing for reassurance and encouragement, this episode will remind you that God still calls, still saves, and still makes a way. Listen in and discover how Noah’s story points directly to the hope we have in Christ today. Let this message strengthen your faith and renew your perspective.

This episode may cause you to stop listening to Coffee With Jesus.
Our host shares some of his deepest darkest secrets. As a Christian, he willingly dove deep into sin, enjoying a depraved lifestyle. He talks about this depravity and how it harmed his relationship with the Most High.
He also shares how, while his sin was great, our Father's love is SO much greater.
Listen and know that God's grace covers a multitude of sins, no matter how depraved.

Two weeks after Hurricane Katrina, he stood at the front door of his house. He opened it, and the stench of decay—sewage, mold, rotten food, and trash—engulfed him and his family, signaling the beginning of a long and grueling season of survival and recovery from overwhelming loss.
If you have ever felt exhausted, displaced, or unsure how to move forward, this story will resonate deeply with you.
In this episode, Todd shares his experience during Hurricane Katrina—fleeing at the last minute, returning to devastation, and enduring months of emotional and physical recovery. He opens up about loss, the kindness of strangers, and the deep toll of PTSD. Through it all, he reveals how God met him in the darkest places.
Tune in to be reminded that you are not alone in the storms of life, and be encouraged to know that there is no shame in seeking help.

What does it truly mean to call God our strength and refuge?
In this powerful episode, we dive into Psalm 46:1 to explore who God is and what it means to be encircled by the Almighty. From Todd's gripping testimony of finding peace under fire in Afghanistan to the imagery of life as a grand tapestry, our hosts discuss how to train our eyes to perceive God’s presence in the midst of trouble.
We also look at Isaiah 40:31, shifting our perspective beyond simply "renewing" our energy to "exchanging" our depletion for His indomitable strength.
Join us as we learn how to entwine ourselves with the Lord and find indescribable and uncontainable strength.

On Saturday Morning, February 28, 2026, the U.S. woke up to stunning news. Israel and the U.S. had launched a joint operation against the government of Iran. On March 3, the Jewish people celebrate Purim, where they remember how they were saved from genocide.
How are these two events related and what does the story of Purim tell us about the nature of the Most High?
Listen as our host and his special guest talk about the story of Esther, current events and how they are related. Know that while things might seem bleak, we are not at the end of the story. God is there with us and will carry us through to the end.

As believers, we often struggle to trust God’s presence when He feels silent or distant. So, how can we overcome uncertainty and the feeling that God is silent? How can we be strong and resolute when facing battles, fear, anxiety, or uncertainty?
In this episode, our host and his guest share Scriptures and personal testimonies that assure us that God is with us and that He cares for us. We reflect on how God meets us in dark places, works beyond our understanding, and shows up through community and obedience. They also teach us how to use the “awe tool"—shifting from awe of fear to awe of God’s presence—to see God’s hand in your life.
Listen in to be reminded that God never leaves you and faithfully takes care of you in both the small and overwhelming moments of life. Tune in and be strengthened to stand firm, grateful, and confident in His promise.

During a traumatic event, the brain is primed to respond reflexively to ensure survival. But that same line of defense that keeps us safe can also keep clients trapped in cycles of traumatic memory. Trauma comes in many forms and the cycles of trauma can manifest in many ways.
In this episode, our host shares his own struggles with PTSD, as well as some practical tips to handle the resurgence of anxiety that may develop even after PTSD seems beaten.
Know that through each step, God is with you. Our Heavenly Father will NEVER leave you. Even when you can't feel His presence, the Lord is there, right beside you.

Have you ever walked through a season where what you see looks nothing like what God promised? Maybe the circumstances feel contradictory. Maybe the timing feels off.
In today’s episode, Yilda Rivera talks about grasping God’s promises even when the situation or what we perceive is at odds with the promise. And she shares a testimony in which the Lord gave her a revelation in the form of a one-word promise—that at that moment, she didn’t know how to grasp.
If you’re in the messy middle… or if you just need to be reminded that God is still faithful even when everything around you is shifting, listen to this episode and learn how to anchor yourself in who God is and what He sees.
Click to listen to this encouraging episode and discover that in those seemingly nonsensical places, God’s glory shines the brightest. You are not alone, and God’s promise over your life still stands.

Not everyone who says, “God told me…” is speaking truth. With so many voices out there, particularly about the end times, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, and fear. So, how can we learn to discern false prophets?
In our new episode, our host, Todd Uebele, explores what prophecy is and who is a false prophet according to Scripture. He gives us a two-step approach to test if someone is a false prophet or if a message comes from God.
Listen in and be encouraged—God’s Word is our guide. In a time when confusion can run high, developing spiritual discernment is essential to abide in Jesus and His peace. Tune in and let’s grow in discernment together.

War in Europe...war in Asia...war in the Middle East...
Rising food prices...
Pandemics...
It seems like prophecy is unfolding right before our eyes. Surely we are in the End Times NOW, right?
Or are we? In the episode, our host takes a look at scripture, comparing Jesus' words in Matthew 24 to John's writings in Revelation.
Listen, and know that no matter what is happening in the world, we as Christians have a hope that will never fade: Hope in our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Have you ever felt like struggling means your faith isn’t strong enough? Many Christians carry silent battles, afraid of the stigma that comes with asking for help. But God reminds us that it’s okay to be broken—and it’s okay to seek help.
In this episode, Todd opens up about his journey through PTSD after Hurricane Katrina and military service. His story reminds us that God can work through counselors, doctors, friends, pastors, and even medicine to bring healing and strength.
As believers, we are not immune to suffering. And there is no shame in seeking help—only strength in admitting our need. God still loves us deeply in those moments.
Listen now to be encouraged and reminded: it’s okay to ask for help. Also, learn how you can support someone you love. Click the link to join the conversation.

He felt like he'd been punched in the gut. While rumors had persisted for months, he had thought his position was secure. It wasn't.
Sometimes our protection and our blessings come through hardship. In this episode, our host shares how twice when he was rejected, it turned out God was actually protecting him. He shares another time when a hardship actually led to something better.
Listen and know that God is always with you and that, not only will your storm pass, but it may lead to something better on the other side.

The man walked out first thing in the morning and was shocked by what he saw: The enemy armies had completely surround the city. From what the man could see, there was no escape.
There was something the man was unable to see. The armies of the Lord were far more numerous then the armies of the enemy king. The prophet prayed and the man's eyes were opened.
Sometimes, we are like that man, we see the dark clouds of life's storms, a layoff, a death in the family, food insecurity...but God is so much greater than the storms we face.
Listen, as our host shares how God is always there, helping us, even when we cannot see His helping hand. Know that God's help can come in many forms, in many different way, but no matter how dark those storm clouds may be, God is carrying us through to the warmth of the sun on the other side.

Coffee With Jesus went Live on 9 August 2025!
Did you miss the live event? Don't fret! Watch now!
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.
NOTE: Long periods of silence (mainly at the beginning and end) were removed for clarity. Aside from that, this audio is as presented live.

"Then you will call, and the Lord will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I." ~ Isaiah 58:9
When we call out to God, He will answer. It may not seem like He is there. When in the midst of a storm, it is difficult to see the sunlight on the other side, but the light is there. God is there as well, helping us, carrying us, strengthening us, each and every step we take.
In this episode, our host shares his experience in one of the biggest storms he has ever faced, both literally and metaphorically.
Listen and know that God is with you during the storm. With each and every step you take, our Heavenly Father is right beside you.

For hundreds of years, conmen would sell miracle cures from the back of their wagon. They promise the world and try luring you in to peddle their fake wares.

In this episode, Our hosts discuss the dangers of following wolves in sheep’s clothing and how to stay rooted in God’s Word. They remind us about the biblical principle of discernment and share vital tools for avoiding deception and staying spiritually grounded.

We hear a lot of talk about how God gives us grace, but we don't often talk about giving it to others. Why should we give grace to others?
In this episode, our hosts show how grace is a gift that we cannot withhold for ourselves. Do we live as takers of God's grace, or do we embrace it in such a way that it transforms the way we see ourselves and, thus, the way we move throughout life?
Listen to this episode and learn how accepting and embracing God's grace means living in gratitude and extending grace to others.

The Bible tells us not to take the Lord's name in vain, but what does that mean exactly? What is the Lord's name and what does it mean to take His name in vain?
Listen as our host dives deep into scripture, to answer the question, and provide an answer that may surprise you. We will walk you through history, culture and most importantly, God's Word.
"And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” (Exodus 3:14 NKJV)
God is the great I AM. His name is to be both feared and revered. The name of the Most High God is to be treated with respect above any other name.

It was the first holiday season without her dad, and it felt surreal. While driving her dad's car on Thanksgiving Day, she discovered a familiar leather glove lined with fur inside. Grabbing that glove felt like holding his hand and bringing him into the moment.

In this episode, our hosts, and her special guest, discuss the significance of living our grief well. They explain how grief is a constant transition and reflect on the meaning of 1 Thessalonians 5:18: Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

Every year the debate rages: When should we start putting up our Christmas tree? Our Christmas decorations?
Our host used to firmly be the in not-before-thanksgiving camp. He was a staunch supporter of waiting until December. But that changed one year.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” - Romans 15:13
We can all find hope in family...and yet family comes in many forms.
In this Advent special, our host talks about family, about hope and about decorating for Christmas.
Our host will go all out with the decorating at my house. Clark Griswald? He’s an amateur. While some may think that misses the point and the spirit of Christmas. There is a reason why our host enjoys Christmas to its fullest each year. One year, he almost didn’t survive Christmas.

The debate rages every year, and sometimes, it gets heated. Sometimes, it can rob the joy right out of season. It can be easy to lose focus on what it really is all about.
Should Christians celebrate Christmas?
Looking into the history and, more importantly, digging into the Scriptures, our host dives in to this very question.
Listen to what he has to say and then open your Bible, pray and seek God's will for you and for your family.

This is not your typical episode of Coffee With Jesus.
This is also not your typical election related podcast.
With the country in turmoil and Christians experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, we look towards Jesus Christ. The President of presidents, the Prime Minister of prime ministers...King of kings and Lord of lords. Our hope, our comforter our Saviour.
Listen to this episode and experience God's comfort. If this election season filled you with dread. If you breathed a huge sigh of relief after you voted. If you are filled with more dread now than before, this episode is for you. Know that no matter who wins any election, Jesus is Lord and God is in control.

Anxiety, distress, and grief are emotions that we experience when going through the troubles and storms in this life. The Bible tells us that God is the source of our comfort. But how can we access that comfort?
Our hosts discuss 2 Corinthians 1:3-7. They also share different situations in their own lives about how a posture of surrender led them to that ever-flowing stream of comfort. Surrendering our cares, solutions, and even our expectations to God and choosing to trust Him with the outcome allow us to experience His comfort. And that comfort brings us rest, peace, and hope.
Listen to this episode and learn how to surrender your "moment" to God to receive the comfort to sustain you for what's next. Also, learn how to share that comfort you receive from the Lord with others going through hardship.

Elisha was surround by an army that itself was surround by an army of angels.
When David fought the Philistines, God's army went ahead of David to deliver them into his hands.

In life, we face storms; we may face depression. But take heart; God is your ever-present help in times of trouble. He will be your strength. In this episode, we talk about how God intervenes when we are facing depression.
Our host clarifies that just because someone is seeking help through a healthcare professional or taking medication to fight depression doesn’t mean God is not involved. Then, our host takes us to 1 Kings 19—a blunt account of the prophet Elijah overwhelmed by a deep depression.
What happens in that chapter is a clear example of how God helps us when facing depression. God didn’t rebuke Elijah. God listened to him, provided him comfort, sustenance, and rest, and then gave him a job. Listen to this episode to hear our host sharing how God helped him in a similar way.
Our host also shares an impactful testimony from a couple who went through a dire situation, one of them spending 42 days in the hospital (in and out of comas), and how they both experienced miraculous strength, healing, and the lifting power of God through the ordeal.

On the night he was betrayed, Jesus took bread,and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Later that night, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
Those 8 simple words set a course of events that would forever change the entire world. Jesus Christ was arrested, beaten, whipped, tortured and crucified. He willingly endure all of this so that you may have a relationship with the Lord Almighty.
As Christians all over the world get ready to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, let's take some time to reflect the suffering that Jesus endured so that you can come before the Lord and walk with Him. Jesus surrendered to His Father's Will so that you can have eternal life. There is no greater love.
Listen, reflect and meditate on what Jesus did for you, what Jesus experienced and endured for you. Know that God loves you and wants a relationship with you. He will always be with you. This Holy Week, let's pause and reflect on God's love for us and all Jesus went through...for you...

The Bible tells us that God, "comforts us in our troubles so that we may comfort others." (2 Cor 1:4). But what if the comfort we receive actually comes from us comforting others?
It may seem a little backwards to some, but in this episode our host explains how, in providing help and comfort to others, we can receive healing and comfort ourselves. He provides personal examples and, breaking the fourth wall, shares an analogy using his stubborn but affectionate cat.
Listen and know that there is hope. Sometimes we receive that hope directly from our friends and family, and sometimes we receive that hope from providing it to our friends and family.

How did a star, a word, and a 10-year-old girl prompt a profound plea for love?
In this episode, our host, Sara van Driel discusses what it means to lead in love. We cannot lead in love if we are not grounded in love. She provides Bible passages about being grounded in love and what that love looks like.
Sara proceeds to provide practical ways to apply those passages to our life based on her recent experience managing the frustration and anger associated with moving to a new place. She talks about how leading with love dissipated frustration and brought opportunities for connection.
When providing an example of how love and action go together, Sara brings us back to Jesus. Everything Jesus did, He did in love. Her plea for love: lead with love, lead for love, and lead in love.
Listen to this episode and learn how Sara started pondering the meaning of leading in love and how a star, a word, and a 10-year-old girl inspired our host to share her heart with us with a profound plea for love.

What do Mondays, Gorilla Tape, belts and Jesus all have in common?
That seems kind of random, doesn't it?
In this episode, our host uses one to illustrate how Jesus will take care of you. It may seem a little odd to use Gorilla Tape as an illustration. After all, Gorilla Tape can and does fail. Whereas Jesus will NEVER fail you. No matter how difficult the circumstances, no matter how relentless the storm, Jesus will hold you together.
Listen as our host shares how on a what appeared to be a typical Monday morning, when everything seemed to go wrong, Jesus held things together for him.

"Make haste, o God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord." (Psalm 70:1).
God is our deliverer and our strength. When times are tough, we can rely on him. With your feet firmly planted on the rock, you will not be moved, even in the fiercest of storms. While we may know this on an intellectual level, internalizing this knowledge can be tough. When going through hard times, you may still be down, stress or anxious. That's ok. It is ok to not be ok.
In this episode, our host shares his own struggles, how he tried to cover up his stress and how talking things through finally helped him. Listen and be encouraged. Learn from the mistakes of our host and reach out to your brothers and sisters in Christ when you need help.
Know that it's OK to not be OK.

Hurricane Katrina took away all his possessions and left him only with three changes of clothes and a car to temporarily live in with his family. In the middle of the chaos and the aftermath of Katrina, our host was longing for God’s comfort; he just wanted to be held by the Lord.
But then something happened that prompted him to praise. Wait. What? Praise? During the storm? Praising was something he didn’t want to do at that moment, but later discovered that he needed to.
In this episode, our host—Todd—talks about those moments when praising God is hard. He discusses the meaning of “a sacrifice of praise” in Hebrews 13:15-16, in part asking how can praise be a sacrifice?
Indeed, there are times when praising God is difficult; the storm is too harsh, and we don’t find the energy to elevate praises. But when we do, an infilling of strength and comfort helps us push through the storm. And we find ourselves being held by Jesus.
Listen to this episode to learn how Todd found the strength and comfort he needed through a sacrifice of praise—when praising God is the sacrifice. Listen to his account to know what happened afterward.

Do you ever feel like you are all alone and by yourself? Like the storm just won't end, and the waiting is too heavy to bear?
When things don’t go well, we sometimes withdraw into ourselves. After all, it’s not easy to be vulnerable…not with others; even less with God. But when we retreat into ourselves, we may miss God’s promise in Romans 8:38-39.
In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, our hosts, Sara and Todd, talk about how they were able to experience God’s presence in the middle of emotional distress and anxiety. How did they experience God’s presence and comfort when God seemed so distant?
They each make themselves vulnerable and share their stories, their stresses, their anxieties. They share how God was with them, even when it was tough to feel his presence, and how God did show He was with them.
Listen to this episode to discover how to avoid staying trapped by burdens and feelings that you are all alone. This episode will encourage you to know that no matter what is troubling you, God is waiting at the door for you to invite Him into your situation.
And if you need prayer, let us know how we can pray for you.

About 21 years ago, about this time, our host, Todd Uebele was sitting down to dinner onboard the USS Carl Vinson, somewhere in the middle of the Arabian Sea. One of the pilots there mentioned that a plane had hit one of the twin towers. At first, it was thought there a small plane, like a Cessna and an error by pilot. As they were watching the news, however, our host saw the second plane strike.
A short while later, out on the flight deck as all planes were recovered and made "best speed" made going northward. They had just relieved the Enterprise Battle Group, who were turned around and became part of our task force. Our host was immediately drafted to serve on the Admiral's staff and watched as our Task Force doubled and then quadrupled in size. He stood on the flag bridge and watched the very first planes launch for Operation Enduring Freedom. A friend on a nearby cruiser sent over videos of the very first tomahawk launch.
While our host is very proud of what he did, it pales in comparison to the first responders and civilian volunteers who literally ran into danger. Firefighters, Police Officers, EMT's, civilian volunteers. They are the real heroes and heroines. So many sacrificed themselves to help and save others.
Sometime after the terrorist attack (the first few weeks are all a blur), the Secretary of the Navy came to the Carl Vinson to address us. At the very end, when he looked around the hangar bay, he seemed to look at each one of us as he challenged us: "Never Forget."

SPECIAL EPISODE!
The mission of Coffee With Jesus is to spread love, hope, comfort and encouragement throughout the Body of Christ, and even though we are on hiatus for the summer, we felt called to release a special episode so we could try to bring a small bit of comfort to our brothers and sisters.
The Bible tells us, "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand." (Psalm 42:1-2) When you are going through life's battles, it can be hard to see what is going on outside your own bunker. God can see it though. God is fighting for you. God has got your back.
Please join us as hour host, Todd Uebele shares a time when God called him to do something, and he initially refused. Through God's patience and persistence, Todd submitted and released a short video. Two years later, with everything that is happening in the world, the message is still relevant: God's got your back.

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.

Sometimes songs transport us to moments in life. Other times, they keep speaking to us through the life journey itself.
In this episode, 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.

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, 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.

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.
Brought to you by Coffee With Jesus Ministries.
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.
They year 2022 is proving to be even crazier and more stressful than both 2020 and 2021. It feels like the craziness and the anxiety will never end. The pandemic is still going on, food and gas prices are through the roof and the threat of nuclear war is hanging over our heads like the Sword of Damocles.
In this special episode, our host would like to reassure you that in spite of all the scary things happening now and in the coming weeks...it's going to be ok.
Say it with us: It's going to be ok.
God is bigger than any war or disease. God can handle all your stress and anxiety, so "cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7). God is in control during the good times and the scary times.
Please, take a few minutes, listen to what our host has to say and know that our Father will provide you with peace and comfort.
It is going to be OK.
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!"

Sometimes we go through stressful and difficult times that we find ourselves trapped in a whirlwind with no idea how everything will turn out. It is hard to see God’s helping hand because everything is out of control, crumbling around us.
How can we be sure that God will always come through and help us when hardship overwhelms us?
This episode opens up with an assurance that God, our Father, gave us:
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)
This is a powerful and refreshing promise. God wants you to see Him as your refuge, your strength, and your ever-present 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. It was one of those moments in life when suddenly everything started crumbling and going downhill so fast. He needed help badly. So he held on to that promise in Psalm 46, and…
Listen to the episode to see how God was Todd’s refuge, his strength, and his ever-present help amid chaos and lies of hopelessness. Be encouraged to hear the different ways God shows that He is present, how He moves, and how he helps us when we feel surrounded by troubles and at the end of our resources.

It’s been almost three hours, and a murder victim still lays on the street in Kansas City. Two investigators are taking pictures from every angle. A crew is mounting laser scanners in tripods to record images to build a 3D photographic model of the scene.
In a corner, there’s a grieving family in shock and despair. Why does their loved one still lay there? What’s going on?
Then someone approaches the family and carefully explains every intricate proceeding of what’s happening—bringing them a bit of clarity into the chaos they are already experiencing. That mysterious person listens attentively to them and answers some of their questions. Someone is present… just for them. And that presence brings a little breath of comfort amid chaos.
That mysterious person is a chaplain—someone providing emotional support or spiritual care in whatever context you can think of.
In this episode, our guest speaker, Jared Altic, is a full-time pastor of a church in Kansas City. He volunteers as a chaplain with the local Police Department. As a chaplain, he provides short-term services for people in crisis (in any scene involving homicide, suicide, or unattended death). He also offers long-term support and spiritual care to police officers and other first responders coping with the toll of the job or other personal matters.

Do Christians need to go to church?
Our host will address a burning issue in the 21st century: Do Christians REALLY need to go to Church? We could share many opinions about this matter. But, does the Bible say anything about it?
“Not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” -- Hebrews 10:25
What does “meeting together” mean?
Todd examines the text in the light of the early Christian culture and compares this “gathering” concept to what the church does nowadays. He also talks about the “why” behind gathering and its impact on the Christian life. During this episode, Todd also shares a few of his own experiences.

“You never know Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have,”—Special Guest, Michele Dalton.
Many see resilience as power from within. But after two major accidents that threatened her life, our guest, Michele Dalton, will show you how resilience is power from above when God meets you where you are.
It was 1990, the night after Thanksgiving when a 1974 Ford Bronco hit Michelle’s car head-on while she was at a stop sign. The fallout over the next year was extraordinary. After six months in a wheelchair, Michelle couldn’t find a job; she had no money; she couldn’t afford to go back to college, and debt engulfed her.
Her faith in God and the power of worship comforted her and carried her through that season. With time and through God’s fingerprints—she will tell you what this means—she found an agency that saw great talent in her and trained her as a graphic designer. This opportunity opened a new career for her.
Then in 2016, another car accident had her pinned to the passenger seat with a 2,500-pounds black Jeep Cherokee on her lap. In this accident, she never blacked out. Thus, the memory of it all made the experience more traumatic.
She found herself again in pain and with doctors telling her that she was never going to walk. But once again, God came alongside her to face that struggle and turn hopelessness into strength, purpose, and direction.
Michelle shares with us the short prayer she muttered during that second accident while waiting to be rescued: “Jesus, save us.” And He did.
God met her where she was and restored her.
Listen to this episode and let Michele tell you how God stuck around her side and saw her through. Discover how God made beauty from the ashes. From the struggle, a new passion ignited in Michelle—writing. She’s now sowing hope and helping those who are dealing with isolation, disappointment, and depression to find the joy of the Lord.

Are we in the end times?
Join us as our host, Todd Uebele, guides us through this topic introducing the different schools of interpretation for Biblical eschatology. Then he takes us to Matthew 24:14-23 and Revelation 6:6. He then provides two key pointers to help us determine if we are in the end times:
- Look at the scale of events around us.
- Examine the history where we are.
Our host gives us a glimpse of the birth pains that Jesus mentioned in Matthew 24 and of the seven seals in the book of Revelation. He discusses some events and where we are right now in the light of the Scriptures. One point of emphasis he makes: even though nobody knows the time or the hour of Jesus' return, we know that He will return.
So, are we in the end times?
No matter how we answer this question, the implication is… Where do we go from here?
For the elect, Jesus’ followers, keep sharing in love the good news of the Gospel with those who are not followers; be watchful and ready. For those who are not yet followers, there is still HOPE. There's a refreshing gift of salvation, peace, and joy that Jesus already paid for.

How does fly fishing relate to our life in Christ?
Join us in God on the Fly, as our hosts Rick and Sarah reflect on what fly fishing taught them about God and loving others. The serenity they experience in fly fishing allows them to connect with the majesty of God, and the interaction with the fish speaks to them about how to value and be sensitive to the people around us. They both relate those fly-fishing experiences to their day-to-day life in their Christian journey.
Accompany Sarah as she takes you on a guided fly-fishing trip in Montana. She was looking for the opportunity to quiet her mind and center herself rather than catching a lot of fish. As she connected with nature, she got less concerned about the perfect casting technique and let the fishing rod do the work. That was when she caught the most fish. Similarly, in our walk with Christ, we need to take time to be still, let go of control, and let God do the work in us. She recalls Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Contemplate the ripples in the water with Rick. Those ripples remind him that beneath the surface of people, a lot is going on that we don’t know. Rick talks about the need for us to be sensitive to other people’s ripples and how to cast and share our true hope with them in love.
Listen to this episode and take delight as you navigate with our hosts through vivid stories of how they found the beauty in fly fishing, which is all about interacting with the fish rather than about throwing the perfect cast. In the same way, there is not a perfect technique to be fishers of men. We only need to love others as God loves us and look for the interaction.
Let’s be still, seek those ripples, cast, and let God do the work through us.

How can we taste God’s comfort amid anxiety, depression, and pain?
In Fly Away Free, our host interviews a very special guest; Ruth Fanshaw, poet, and author of the book Fly Away Free, Poems for Pilgrim Hearts. She has a neuroimmune condition and shares how in two occasions she battled anxiety, depression, and suicide thoughts. She narrates how she experienced God’s comfort and how God’s comfort allowed her to create poetry to comfort others.
“3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” (2 Corinthians 1:3-4, NIV)
Many times, Ruth couldn’t feel God’s presence through her emotional turmoil; but somehow, she always knew that Jesus was there with her. She was certain of God's character and the unchanging nature of his promises. This knowledge carried her during those difficult times and provided healing and comfort enough to create within her an overflowing well of joy and praise through poetry.
Join us as Ruth also delights us with two of her poems. Listen now, and find your own rainbow—the hope of God’s promises that always remain.

Has it seemed like your struggles have gone on for an eternity?
Don't give up! God will get you through the fiercest storm and help you over the highest mountain...no matter how hard it gets, our God is greater...don't give up!
Does it seem like your problems are an insurmountable mountain?
Don't give up! Sometimes it can feel like simply hanging in there can be a mountain in and of it self. Don't Give Up! God is bigger than any mountain you face! God WILL see you through. He will carry you when you need it. Don't give up!
In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, Todd Uebele shares an example from the life of the prophet Elijah and expands on a simple yet profound statement made by Pastor Tolani in Episode 13.
What is like to free yourself from the chains of anxiety, hopelessness, depressive forces, and remorse? How do you free yourself from the chains that hold you down?
In “Rising from the Dust,” special guest Pastor Tolani Abike Adewole describes how, through multiple miscarriages and inability to retain pregnancies, she was scorned by family members due to her cultural upbringing. She was hurt and labeled by others. Tolani shares how she found in the Word of God the antidote to rise from the entanglements and systems we see ourselves in. She unpacks Isaiah 52:2: “Shake off your dust...Free yourself from the chains on your neck...”
After over 10 years of fighting lies of hopelessness by standing in God’s Word, Tolani conceived and is now blessed with 4 children. She rose from the dust of being called a barren woman and being scorned by her culture. She rose from the dust and broke the chains of despair by standing strong in a space where knowing who God is and who you are in God are the key to remove those chains. “It’s from that position when you begin to rise”—Tolani reveals.
Listen now to this encouraging and uplifting episode. Discover those traits of who God is that will bring you comfort; and see how you are favored, precious, and unconditionally loved. Remove the chains of despair and rise up.

Do the storms of life have you feeling overwhelmed? Have the dark clouds blocked all light and hope?
Don't give up! There is hope! There is One out there who is greater than any storm you may encounter, who's light will pierce through even the darkest of clouds.
In "God Calms the Storm," Todd Uebele shares one of the darkest periods of his life. He shares how God helped him through the literal storm of Hurricane Katrina and both the emotional and spiritual storms that followed. As he goes into detail about his experience, he shares how God provided him with the strength and the comfort he needed to make it through those storms.
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”—Lewis B. Smedes
How do you go about forgiving someone who has wronged you? What about forgiving someone who has wronged those you love?
Countless sermons have been preached on the importance of forgiveness and our relationship with God. Countless books and commentaries have been written about how forgiveness brings healing to one’s soul. But how do you actually rid yourself of the anger that weighs your heart down?
In this episode “Set me Free,” Todd Uebele bluntly describes a season in his life where he was burdened with unforgiveness and anger toward someone who wronged him and his family while he was stationed in Afghanistan. An insatiable thirst for revenge was consuming him. Forgiveness was so irrational at the time, and unattainable.
Listen to the podcast to discover how, with God's help, Todd was able to overcome his thirst for revenge and step into the restorative experience of forgiveness.
How can you overcome worry and fear? How can you be filled with a peace beyond your understanding?
Through a battle with cancer, Yilda Rivera found the answer to the questions above in this verse:
"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."—Philipians 4:6-7
In this episode we have a very special guest, Yilda Rivera. Yilda is a cancer survivor, a wife, mother, engineer and author of the top selling book: Courage Under Fire. In her book and in this episode, Yilda opens up about her battle with breast cancer. The intensely personal story leads us from the cancer diagnosis, through the sometimes painful process of treatment and through to a surprisingly successful outcome. This outcome doesn't have to do with overcoming cancer, but about overcoming fear and worry. Join us as she describes how God was her rock, helping her overcome fear and worry.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
Anyone who takes a step into my house knows that I fully enjoy every aspect of Christmas. I go all out with the decorating at my house. Clark Griswald? He’s an amateur. While some may think that misses the point and the spirit of Christmas. There is a reason why I enjoy Christmas to its fullest each year. One year, I almost didn’t survive Christmas.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” -- Isaiah 6:8
Most people called by God have one of two reactions. Isaiah's, where they enthusiastically embrace what God has called them to do, or Jonah's. Jonah hopped on a boat and went the other way. It took getting eaten by a whale and being spit up on shore for him to do God's will. In this episode, Todd explains how he is more like Jonah, but hopes you are more like Isaiah. He keeps it real and hopes you will too.
"God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble." ~Psalm 46:1
God is our deliverer. Sometimes He intervenes directly to deliver us, and sometimes, He delivers us through other people. Sometimes, he delivers us through professionals who are trained to help us. In this episode, we are extremely fortunate to have a very special guest, Paul Calcote. Paul is a husband, young adult pastor and podcaster who loves God, loves people, and loves life. Paul is passionate about encouraging and equipping people to be and do all that God has called them be and do. In this episode, Paul will share how God delivered him from the bounds of depression, and tell us how it is ok to seek help from others, including professionals.
"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock" ~ Psalm 40:2
God is always there to help us when we get bogged down in in the mire. It may not be on our timing, but it will be on HIS timing. When we are going through our storms and are stuck in the miry clay, it is important to trust HIM and know that He will rescue us, help us and make us secure. God will provide for us and meet our needs, all we need to do is trust Him.
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." (1 Peter 5:10)
In this episode, we are honored to have a very special Guest, the Reverend Dr. Timothy Rogers-Martin, Lead Pastor of Eastminster Presbyterian Church. Pastor Tim delivers an uplifting message of comfort and grace from 1 Peter 5.
When the Japanese mend broken objects, the aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that an object's cracks, or scars, give the object its history and its character, making it even more beautiful. In many ways, we are like cracked pottery, some with physical and some with emotional cracks or scars. When we are broken, God mends us, comforts us and strengthens us, making us even more beautiful.
Failure is NOT an option! Or is it? Failure has happened to everyone and has many reasons. No matter the source or timing or reasons for your failure, it is not the end. In this episode, the author shares examples of failure and overcoming failure, from his own life and from some famous Bible Characters. Failure is not the end, for many it can be the beginning!
In this episode, I will share something I never thought I would share, two are the darkest periods of my life. I overcame the darkness and attained victory. As Christians, we will struggle. However, as Christians, we have hope. As Christians, we will have victory...Victory in Christ.
When I was leaving the navy, I was due to fly to Houston from Japan. I decided I would try a little experiment. Previously, I would fret every little detail, praying for help as every little problem arose. While there is nothing wrong with praying for help, I did so more out of anxiety then I did out of faith. This time, I told God that I would trust to be in control. If any problems came up during the trip, I would not fret or get anxious, I would simply trust in Him.
Jesus Christ has overcome death and has overcome the world. He is our champion and our victor. Our God is our comfort and our refuge. While we are on this earth, we are going to have problems, but God is greater than all of that. All the problems we face will pass away. Jesus, He is eternal, and with Him in your life, you will outlast all the difficulties life can throw at you.
