If we ask God to connect us with others, He will certainly do it.

He knows everyone on the planet, and knows who He wants to reach, and how.

Every person was created by Him, on purpose, and for a purpose. When we step into His plans, and ask Him what He wants to do in different settings and situations, He will reveal His heart to others, through us.

In this episode, Matt shares testimonies of divine appointments from Birmingham to California, and back.

The Lord continuously places new people in his path as He prays and seeks God for guidance on a daily basis.

Ask God for divine appointments and He will give them to you, but it will be for you to share His love with others, not just for your own benefit.

This episode should encourage you, and challenge you, to go on adventures with Jesus.

A huge number of Alabamians do not make New Year’s resolutions. They need to take a look at this one. It’s different from any resolutions they may have seen, and it can be difference-making.

Many who make New Year’s resolutions do not sustain them. By January’s end, they have returned to their old ways.

Health clubs are an obvious example. Annually, they have a big increase in memberships in early January, but many new members stop coming even though they may have paid for a longer membership.

It’s easy to start a new exercise program but hard to keep on keeping on. So, by the end of January, the exercise is being neglected.

It’s easy to start a new diet but hard to make it a life-long change in eating habits. By the end of January, the diet is over and the old eating habits have returned.

It’s easy to start a new budget or a more conservative spending plan in January, but it’s hard to discipline yourself to stick with it.

Make your resolution. Quit after January. Back to the old ways. Repeat yearly.

How about a New Year’s resolution that can be completed in January, but its benefits last all year — or maybe last for a lifetime? It is designed so you quit by January 31 but benefit all year. Sound too good to be true?

The month of January has 31 days.

The Biblical book of Proverbs has 31 chapters.

Can you see already where I am going with this?

Proverbs is called “the book of wisdom.” It contains and explains dozens, maybe hundreds, of commonsense guidelines for more Godly living. It’s a how-to book for everyday life.

My New Year’s resolution is this:

“I will read one chapter of the book of Proverbs each day in January.”

That’s it. I cannot imagine a simpler, clearer New Year’s resolution. Only one thing to do. No complications. No moving parts.

This is the world’s shortest New Year’s resolution.

It is very doable. There’s no question about whether or not you are able to do this.

It’s free. Nothing to buy or join with this resolution. It’s using a resource that has always been available to you, your own Bible. It’s about time you did this. The January “new beginning” is an appropriate time to start – and finish – your life-enhancing one-month experience with Proverbs. At the end of January, you have reached Chapter 31, the end of Proverbs.

“Thy word have I hid in my heart …. I have stored your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.” – Psalm 119:11.

What a potent verse. What a powerful picture of how God desires His word to penetrate and saturate the depths of our hearts in such a way that it’s stored there. You’ve stored His word in your heart.

What a blessing for you – and for those you interact with. Your spouse. Your family. Your friends. Your co-workers. Your customers. Your neighbors. Service personnel you interact with. Even your enemies.

Getting along with a difficult person.

Better relations with your parents.

Husband and wife relations.

Strong work ethic.

Avoiding unnecessary and unhelpful confrontations.

Avoiding and handling anger.

Here are some things you can consider doing now to make your January month with Proverbs even more meaningful:

• Decide now when and where you will do your daily Proverbial reading (I just made up that term. Sounds serious, doesn’t it?) Having a set time and place for your reading can have benefits. First thing in the morning? Right after breakfast? At home after work? Right before bed?

When you open your Bible to Proverbs, you will enter your sanctuary. Best to have no interruptions, but sometimes it cannot be helped.

• ­­Will you tell someone else about this resolution and see if they want to do it too? They could become your accountability partner.
• Put this daily “appointment with yourself” on your calendar, in your planner, on your smartphone or on your computer. It is a scheduled activity for each day in January.
• Share this resolution with others. At work. Your Sunday School class. Your family. Your friends. Show them this article. By sharing, you are becoming committed to the wisdom of this project.

What if you miss some days and get behind? Or what if you were later into the month in getting started? This likelihood has two easy fixes:

One, you can obviously double up and read two chapters a day until caught up.

Or, two, you can continue after January 31. There is no magic to the January 31 finish date. Maybe set a revised goal to finish by one of those February “religious” holidays: Groundhog Day, February 2; or Valentine’s Day, February 14. Or, if you are on the Gulf Coast, by Mardi Gras Day, February 17, 2026.

What if you need a refresher course from time to time? This WILL happen. You will need to read Proverbs again. While you can turn to Proverbs at any time, another month of organized immersive reading of the whole book can bear abundant fruit. You can do that in any month.

All months of the year have 31 days except September, April, June and November. (Where did I get that order?) And of course, February with 28 or 29 days. In those months lacking 31 days, you just need to read two chapters in one day or for two to three days in February. Any month works for your refresher course.

Or you can make the same New Year’s resolution again next year — and any year. I foresee some folks making reading Proverbs their New Year’s resolution each January. What a wonderful annual tradition.

I got this resolution idea while studying Proverbs in my Sunday School class, The Good Samaritans, at Kingswood Church in Mobile, Alabama. I noticed the 31 chapters of Proverbs and the 31 days of January. The idea clicked.

Now, let’s get you started.

Repeat this aloud now:

“I will read one chapter of the book of Proverbs each day in January.”

God is doing incredible things on the Earth in 2025!

A few months ago, over 130 men attended the Warrior Men’s Retreat at Lake Martin, and people were saved, healed, delivered, and transformed.

Different backgrounds, demographics, cultures, and appearances, did not separate these men from the love of God.

Men shared trauma they had experienced and the Lord healed their hearts. Bodies were healed from debilitating conditions. Repentance took place from deep rooted sin and Men gave their lives to Jesus.

The culmination was baptisms in the lake and Men cheering on other Men’s decisions to lead by example and die to themselves.

Hope is rising in America, and all around the World.

God is still seated on His throne, and He is undefeated.

Listen and be encouraged.

He also shares how his faith, and ability to overcome and persevere, was strengthened through trials, and his family’s battle to have children.

The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

If Jesus has done something once, He can do it again, and there is nothing that is impossible for Him.

Don loves to connect people with the Holy Spirit, and others who can tangibly help one another. From successful business people, to the homeless, he is a friend to everyone he meets.

His heart to follow the Holy Spirit, and share his love with all, is extremely beautiful to witness.

This episode will challenge and encourage you to yield to the voice of God.

If you watch the news, all you see is chaos in the State of California, and there is a lot of that to be sure.

However, God is moving powerfully in the largest state in the Union, and I have witnessed some of these things first hand.

Revival is taking place around the globe, and those who partner with the Holy Spirit will continue to see Him do incredible things in the days, and years, to come. In the last days, the Lord will pour out His Spirit, and the hearts of many will grow cold at the same time.

God is amazing, and He has assignments for all of us to complete on this Earth, in order to partner with Heaven. We always have a choice: to engage, or stay complacent.

The body of Christ needs to ask for eyes to see, and ears to hear, what He is doing, and press in to those things.

In this episode, you will hear some of the adventures with Jesus that we should all be having when we say yes to walking in relationship with Him daily.

In this episode, Sara talks about the journey she has been on with the Lord, and how it has been an adventure like no other.

Following Jesus should be fun, and this conversation demonstrates that.

Listen and be encouraged.

Faith without works is dead.

If we are followers of Christ, there should be evidence of our faith, on a regular basis.

Because He loved us, God sent Jesus to die, and rise again, for our salvation, healing, and deliverance.

The disciples of Jesus did the same things He did, and He told them to make more disciples, and continue to do those things, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We should be so full of love and compassion that we can’t help but share the good news of the gospel with all the people we encounter.

God is doing incredible things on the Earth today, and we have the opportunity to partner with Him, and advance His Kingdom, if He is our Lord and Savior.

Following Jesus should be exciting, and we should be going on adventures with Him on a regular basis.

This episode is full of testimony Matt has seen in the last few months, in Birmingham, Atlanta, and California.

God is amazing, and He gets all of the glory for the things that are shared.

Listen, be encouraged, and go and do the same works, in the name of Jesus.

Stephanie Farris is a passionate follower of Jesus, and runs at a very fast pace. However, she realizes how much we all need one another to advance the Kingdom of God here on Earth, as it is in Heaven.

Jesus had his disciples, that he commanded to make disciples, and we should be doing the same as His followers.

In this episode, Stephanie and I discuss a recent mission trip to Brazil, and the amazing things we saw God do as people worked together, supporting one another.

In a world striving to compete with one another, we talk about the opposite, and the need for yielded surrender to Jesus.

If you are leader and working on building a team, or you can’t figure out why things aren’t going the way you need them to go in life, this episode should encourage you.

No one is designed to do life alone, and these testimonies should solidify that.

Listen and be strengthened.

Mark’s heart is to be in total submission to God’s leadership and humbly sharing the Gospel, His love and light wherever the Lord sends him.

After searching for God in all of the wrong places for 11 years, Mark finally found Him through Jesus Christ. He always had the soul urge to heal people from a young age and tried many different modalities for healing, but nothing ever worked — until he was filled with the Holy Spirit and Jesus started healing people through him.

Mark was preparing to take over his father-in-law’s business when he felt a clear call from the Lord to step away and pursue ministry. Taking a leap of faith, Mark left the family business to fully embrace God’s plan for his life. God has paved the way for United Saints and continues to move powerfully through the ministry.

Listen to this episode and be encouraged.

God is a miracle worker.

He always has been, and always will be.

John 14:12 says “truly I tell you, anyone who believes in me, will do the same works, if not greater, because I am going to be with the Father.”

Jesus was speaking in this passage, and letting every believer know what is possible in Him, through the power of the Holy Spirit, which He sent after He ascended to Heaven.

“Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever” according to Hebrews 13:8.

“All things are possible for those who believe” as Jesus tells us in Mark 9:23.

We need to raise our expectations of what Jesus is capable of doing today, on the Earth, as it is in Heaven.

I have seen Him do too much to believe otherwise, and I hope these testimonies encourage your faith to believe that if He did these things, He can do the same for you, or anyone else you pray for.

Be encouraged and step out in faith to do all that Jesus tells us to do, daily.

Sam Zoldock is a young entrepreneur that is on fire for Jesus, but he has not always been that way.

Sam reached a point in his life where he demanded that God prove Himself to be real or else he would choose to live for the world.

God’s response changed Sam forever, and resulted in Sam receiving the spiritual gifts of seeing in the spiritual realm, prophecy, and healing, all in a dramatic fashion. Sam details that amazing series of events and how dramatically he has been transformed by God in this conversation.

Sam has a deep hunger to see others pursuing a life of purpose, and his testimony will encourage you to go after more of the Lord.

Jahan’s life story is replete with trials, tragedies, and triumphs. She is a classic example of how God’s shining light cannot be overcome by darkness.

Jahan’s Father, a military commander in Uganda was assassinated when she was just six years old. Following his death, Jahan’s family was robbed of everything, and they became destitute. Jahan was raised Muslim until her dramatic conversion to Christianity. Jahan migrated from Uganda to England, and finally to Birmingham, Alabama.

As a Mortgage Banking & Litigation attorney, Jahan practiced law at the law firm of Sirote & Permutt, in Birmingham, AL, until she took a job at the Chief Operating Officer for JH Israel and U.S Israel Education Association.

Jahan is now in full time ministry with Triumph of Hope, a non- profit she founded for the purpose of igniting others with a love and passion for Jesus. She travels and speaks widely preaching the Gospel and sharing her inspirational story in both Christian and secular settings. Her heart is to bring hope, salvation, and deliverance to people that now struggle as hard as she once did. She is married with two children.
