What if the way you end your day could change the way you begin tomorrow?

Before you go to sleep, God may be inviting you to do more than simply close your eyes. He may be inviting you to reflect, listen, and allow the Holy Spirit to show you what happened throughout your day—without guilt or condemnation.

In Week 7 of our 12-Week Journey of Transformation, Jeffrey Paul shares a simple Biblical discipline for ending your day with God. Through Romans 8:1, journaling, Scripture, and an honest review of your day, you’ll discover how to recognize where God was speaking, learn from the moments that challenged you, and prepare your heart for tomorrow.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:
• Why your conversation with God doesn’t have to end when your day does
• How to review your day without guilt or condemnation
• How the Holy Spirit can reveal what you may have missed in the moment
• Why journaling can help you recognize patterns, triggers, and God’s direction
• How reflecting on Scripture can prepare your mind and heart for rest
• How Hearing God’s Voice becomes part of everyday life—not just prayer or Bible study

What if achieving your goals isn’t the real goal?

In this conversation, Jeffrey Paul sits down with bestselling author ‪Jordan Raynor to explore a different way of thinking about ambition, success, work, and the goals we pursue.

Jordan shares Biblical principles from his new book, “Redeeming Your Goals”, and explains why our goals can leave us striving, comparing ourselves to others, and still feeling unfulfilled—even when we accomplish what we set out to do.

The answer isn’t to stop setting goals. It’s learning to pursue goals with God, like God, and for God—while remembering that our greatest lifetime goal is becoming more like Christ.

What if some of the things you’re holding onto are actually keeping you from bearing the fruit God wants to produce in your life?

In this teaching from the _12-Week Journey of Transformation_, Jeffrey Paul shares a personal story that brought the words of Jesus in John 15 to life—and taught him an unforgettable lesson about pruning.

Jesus tells us to remain in Him because a branch cannot bear fruit by itself. And sometimes, growing closer to Him means allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal what needs to be cut away.

That pruning may not always feel comfortable. But God isn’t removing things from your life to leave you empty. He’s helping you become more fruitful, more aligned with His voice, and more dependent on Him.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:

• What Jesus means when He tells us to “remain in Me”
• Why pruning is an important part of spiritual growth
• How the Holy Spirit reveals what may be draining your spiritual life
• Why Hearing God’s Voice begins with relationship and trust
• How Scripture, journaling, and prayer work together in everyday life
• Why transformation happens one step at a time
• How to remain connected to Jesus even in the middle of life’s battles

Have you ever told yourself, “I’m too old,” “it’s too late,” or “I’m not good enough” to take the next step?

In this conversation, Jeffrey Paul sits down with Sara Carnes to talk about confidence, fear, and the thoughts that can quietly keep us from moving forward.

Sara shares how she entered broadcasting at age 30, navigated major changes in her career, and learned an important lesson along the way: confidence isn’t simply something you have—it’s something you build.

Sometimes taking the next step doesn’t mean waiting until you’re no longer afraid. Sometimes you have to do it scared.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:
• Why feeling afraid doesn’t always mean you should stop
• How confidence is built one small step at a time
• Why changing the way you speak to yourself matters
• How the thoughts and messages you allow into your mind can affect you
• Why letting go of the need to be right can transform relationships
• How recognizing emotional triggers can lead to greater self-awareness and healing
• Why surrounding yourself with the right people and messages matters

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve missed your opportunity or waited too long to become who God is calling you to be, this conversation is a reminder: it’s never too late to take the next step.

What if God has already given us an invitation to call on Him—with the promise that He will answer?

In Week 5 of our 12-Week Journey of Transformation, Jeffrey Paul shares how developing a daily relationship with God can help us recognize His Voice, understand what He is saying, and begin putting His Word into practice.

This isn’t about learning a technique or following a formula. It’s about developing Biblical disciplines that create a daily rhythm of seeking God, listening for His Voice, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform the way we think and live.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:
• The three foundational steps to Hearing God’s Voice
• Why spending consistent time with God matters
• How to begin your day focused on God before distractions take over
• Seven Biblical disciplines for Hearing God’s Voice through journaling
• Why writing down what you hear can strengthen your relationship with God
• How Scripture helps confirm what you believe God is speaking
• Why meditating on and speaking God’s Word can transform the way you think

And what about God’s “phone number”? Jeffrey shares the powerful invitation found in Jeremiah 33:3:

“Call to me and I will answer you…”

God is speaking. The question is: are we creating the space to listen?

Are you building the life God is calling you to live—or simply following the path someone else expected you to take?

Manny Kidola grew up with a clear path laid out in front of him. His father was a physician, education was a priority, and becoming a doctor seemed like the natural direction for his life. But Manny began to realize he was being called to create a different path.

In this conversation with Jeffrey Paul, Manny shares his journey from Tanzania to Northeast Ohio, walking away from the career others expected of him, becoming a born-again Christian, building businesses, raising six children, and learning to seek the Holy Spirit’s direction in the decisions he makes.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:

• Why someone else’s expectations don’t necessarily define God’s calling for your life
• How Manny discovered faith for himself rather than simply following tradition
• Why success and money aren’t enough to create a fulfilling life
• How faith influences Manny’s decisions as an entrepreneur
• Why Manny believes in praying and listening to the Holy Spirit before making major decisions
• How he’s intentionally building a different spiritual legacy for his six children
• What it looks like to put Christianity into practice in everyday life

Manny’s story is a reminder that following God isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a relationship that continues to shape how we live, lead our families, make decisions, and build the legacy we’ll leave behind.

You can read Scripture, memorize verses, and know what God’s Word says—but knowing the Word and living the Word are two very different things.

In Week 4 of our 12-Week Journey of Transformation, Jeffrey Paul explores why real transformation requires more than simply knowing Scripture. Through Philippians 4:4–9, he shows how God’s Word, Hearing God’s Voice, journaling, and daily application work together to renew our thinking and change the way we live.

In this teaching, you’ll discover:
• Why knowing Scripture doesn’t automatically lead to transformation
• The difference between knowing God’s Word and putting it into practice
• How Philippians 4 gives us a practical pattern for renewing our thoughts
• Why what God shows you needs to become part of your everyday life
• How to return to God’s truth when old thoughts and patterns come back
• Why lasting change happens when we begin living what God has spoken

God’s Word was never meant to simply give us more information. The invitation is to *hear it, believe it, and put it into practice*—allowing His truth to transform us from the inside out.

Ryan Mak had what many people would consider success. He was earning a six-figure income, building businesses, traveling, and had the freedom he thought would bring fulfillment. But underneath it all, something was still missing.

In this honest conversation with Jeffrey Paul, Ryan shares the dark season that led him to cry out to God, the peace he experienced afterward, and how his search eventually led him deeper into Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and a personal relationship with Christ.

Ryan also opens up about experiencing anxiety again later in his journey.

You believe God has spoken to you. Now what do you do with what you heard?

In this teaching from our 12-Week Journey of Transformation, Jeffrey Paul takes you into the next practical step: learning how to use Scripture to test, clarify, and confirm what you sense the Holy Spirit speaking to your heart.

Using a simple example of worry, Jeffrey demonstrates how to take what you’re hearing and search the written Word of God for confirmation. You’ll see how Rhema—the quiet prompting of the Holy Spirit—and Logos—the written Word of God—work together, and how Scripture can bring clarity and confidence to your ongoing dialogue with God.

Through 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and other Scriptures, Jeffrey also shows why God’s Word isn’t simply something we read. It teaches, corrects, trains, and helps renew the way we think and live.

In This Teaching, You’ll Discover:

• What to do after you believe you’ve heard God’s Voice
• Why what you hear should be confirmed through Scripture
• How Rhema and Logos work together
• A practical way to search Scripture when you need clarity or direction
• How the Holy Spirit brings revealed knowledge and understanding
• Why journaling helps connect what you’re hearing with God’s written Word
• How Scripture helps us take thoughts captive
• Why speaking God’s Word throughout the day matters
• Why inspiration alone doesn’t create lasting transformation
• How to begin putting these practices into your daily life

📖 This Week’s Scripture
2 Timothy 3:16–17
Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, correcting, rebuking, and training us in righteousness. Jeffrey shows how this gives us a Biblical foundation for testing what we hear and allowing God’s Word to shape our daily lives.

✍️ This Week’s Challenge
Choose something you are facing this week. Search Scripture for what God’s Word says about it. Read several verses slowly until one stands out. Write it in first person, speak it out loud, and journal what you sense the Holy Spirit showing you.

Then take time to listen. Write down what you hear and return to Scripture for confirmation. Jeffrey encourages you to carry that Scripture with you throughout the day and return to it as a reminder of what God is speaking into your life.

Why Do You Keep Falling Back Into the Same Patterns?

Why can you know what you should do, genuinely want to change, pray about it—and still find yourself falling back into the same patterns?

Jeffrey Paul sits down with Leanne Ellington to explore why lasting transformation often requires more than simply trying harder.

Leanne shares her personal journey with dieting, emotional eating, body image, and shame—including losing nearly 100 pounds and discovering that changing her body didn’t automatically change the way she saw herself.

Together, Jeffrey and Leanne explore the thoughts, beliefs, and emotional patterns beneath our behaviors and how Biblical mind renewal, taking thoughts captive, neuroplasticity, nervous-system regulation, and identity in Christ can help us experience transformation from the inside out.

This conversation is about recognizing what may be keeping you stuck, replacing old patterns with truth, and learning to see yourself through the lens of who God says you are.
