There are many strong opinions about this particular presidential election. With many pastors and teachers being hesitant to address it, Mark believes that for Christians, it’s important to make sure that our perspective, which can be so focused on earthly matters, is filtered through a heavenly lens.

On this Bold Steps special, Mark wants to encourage us to fortify their identity first as citizens of God’s Kingdom … so we can take confident, Christ-honoring steps down here on earth.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mark is walking us through the steps to rebuild from the ruins… and that includes having the right people around you AND having clear goals of what you are trying to become, where you need to change and who you want to be.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you in a season where you have to rebuild your life because you started out wrong or made some bad choices along the way? Today, Pastor Mark Jobe has some Bold Steps to help with Starting Right. We’re in a month-long verse-by-verse study in the book of Nehemiah and we’re at the point where he has been given the go-ahead and is contemplating the first step in the rebuilding process. All of us own at least one shirt with buttons on the front. What happens when the first button is put into the wrong hole and we button our shirt? ALL of the buttons are then in the wrong holes! That first step (button) dictates how all other steps will be aligned. It’s the same way in any rebuilding process and we can learn a lot from Nehemiah on the topic.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sometimes we see something that needs to be done, and we can immediately jump into the work quickly without asking God: “is this Your timing?” Today, Pastor Mark Jobe talks about the Hand of God in the rebuilding process on Bold Steps. We’ve heard it before… timing is everything. Nehemiah had a burden, something that gripped his soul. He knew he had to act, but there was a patience there as well. We can jump in too quickly… but there are steps to take while we wait for the proper time. The title of the message today is, “The Hand of God” and our guide is Nehemiah 2.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The series is called Agents of Change and it’s our hope that after listening you’ll be encouraged to not stand still, but to make Bold Steps toward realizing the call God has placed on your heart.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today... what happens when you capture a burden that is greater than you. We’re talking about having vision today on Bold Steps. Can you see the calling God has placed on your life? We thought this would be a great time to revisit this concept here at the beginning of the new year as a kind of “re-set”. Pastor Mark Jobe says that significant things don’t happen until someone has a vision of the potential of what could be. Most of us are not living in the purpose and call that God has for us. Most are not living in full potential and have clear vision of future and our calling and gifting. Most only know the present and past, but we haven’t seen it yet. He'll talk about 4 things that need to happen in the making of a change agent and gaining that future vision.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Go ahead and open our Bibles to the book of John, chapter 11, as we jump into the lesson titled … Where is God in the Middle of My Drama?Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps … Pastor Mark Jobe begins a new message about the timing of God. In life we all have “drama”.  We have problems and pains that we wish would simply go away … and yet often times, our situation seems to remain the same.  But we’re reminded in the Bible over and over that GOD’S timing in dealing with our problems is not OUR timing.  We’re going to look at a powerful example of that found in John 11 and the story of Lazarus. We're asking the question, Where IS God in the middle of my drama?!Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To withstand the trials and temptations of the world, we have to be spiritually resilient.  And we’re learning how, today on Bold Steps. Last time, we began a message that Mark originally shared with the students at Moody Bible Institute … laying out The 7 Habits of Resilient Students.  And while this lesson was directed to the students of MBI … the keystone habits that Mark shares are extremely applicable to all of us, no matter what stage of life we may be in.  In yesterday’s program, he established the first three key habits that lead to spiritual resiliency.  First, we must establish and guard our daily time with God.  Second, we need to invite other people into our growth process and allow ourselves to be sharpened by Christian community.  And third, we need to pour ourselves into a church community, and give of our talents and support to those around us. We pick things up right there ...Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join us as we again step inside a Moody Bible Institute chapel event, where he first shared today’s message about developing some specific habits that lead to resilience.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’re learning about the penalty that comes with sin. Romans 3:23 says that ALL have sinned and fallen short of God’s standards. But does that mean we have no hope … or no way of reconnecting with God?  Mark will help answer those questions as we discover the truth about an absolute core Christian belief … the gift of salvation.  This message comes for our study we’ve titled, Why We Believe … and Mark simply titled it … Salvation.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe explains man’s great need for salvation. There are words and phrases that represent the most crucial doctrines in the Christian faith … words and phrases such as … How to be right with God, Salvation, Born-again believer, Follower of Jesus Christ … what it means to be saved.  But these don’t necessarily translate across denominational lines or even from church to church.  So, how do we cut through the misinformation? Many people may think they understand what salvation means (taught as a child, emotional experience, etc.).  But today, Mark wants to correct any misconceptions people might have and create a clear picture of what these terms mean surrounding key beliefs.  We need to have a strong spiritual foundation. Today’s message regarding Salvation … comes from our series titled, Why We Believe.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is the significance of the bread and wine? And How often should we take communion?Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we’ll discover how to know if you’re ready to get baptized. Lots of people have done it … but not all of them know the meaning behind it exactly.  In yesterday’s program, we learned that baptism is a physical representation of a spiritual act that’s taking place.  So, who should get baptized … and is there a correct way to do it?  Mark will address those questions today as we continue our new series titled, Why We Believe.Support the show: https://www.moodyradio.org/programs/bold-steps-with-dr-mark-jobe/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s easy to think that the solution to big problems requires a big solution ... a big-name speaker, author, media mogul ... lots of resources and budgets ... huge facilities to minister to others, etc.  But, in reality, God confounds the wise and powerful, accomplishing His big purposes using the small.

Sometimes even when everything in life seems to be going smoothly, and we’re accomplishing our goals and getting what we want … we still end up feeling empty.  And on yesterday’s program Mark explained that no matter what we do or where we go in this life, the only thing that can truly satisfy our souls is the presence of God.  So, what do we do when we end up feeling disconnected and distant from our Creator?  How do we reclaim that intimacy with God that He intends for us to have?  Let’s find out together for part two of a message all about Walking in the Presence of God.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a Christian, you’ve been given the power to awaken others to the spirit of God … but are you actually using this power?  Find out today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. Last time, Mark began a message about Releasing the Power of Resurrection … explaining how every Christian has been given the unique privilege to be a carrier of God’s redeeming power … and to awaken others to that same gift, bringing light into the dark places of life.  But even though we have this privilege, we sometimes let it go to waste … forgetting or simply overlooking the resurrection power God is offering us.  That’s why Mark is laying out four important steps we need to take to make sure we don’t waste this incredible gift.  The first point he makes, is that we can’t let other people’s issues be an obstacle to our own connection to God.  And to continue his lesson, we’re looking at a story in the book of Mark chapter 5, now in verse 35 … where Jesus has been called to the house of a man named Jairus, whose young daughter was dying.  But on His way to the house of Jairus, Jesus is interrupted by a woman seeking her own miracle.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe has a timely message about Breaking Through the Gloom.

What does being a Strong Mom really look like?  That’s what we’re finding out today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. Yesterday, we began a message about what it means to be a Strong Mom … exploring some key principles from the biblical example of Hannah, seen in the book of 1st Samuel.  Hannah had the deep desire to bear children and to become a mother … but as time waned on, she remained childless.  Through her pain and seemingly unanswered prayers, Hannah continued to go to the Lord with her heartfelt request, kneeling and crying out in desperation for a miracle.  And to continue her story, join us in 1st Samuel, looking in chapter 1 starting in verse 13.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe asks, what is holding you back from being a full-on worshipper of God? Think about the last time you cheered on your favorite sports team or sang along with your favorite artist at a concert? Now, what about the last time you worshipped at church? What was your energy level? Were you able to praise God whole-heartedly or were you not able to get fully involved? Mark will be in Psalm 118 and explaining some practical tips that will help you find your praise again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you lost your praise? Today on Bold Steps, how to find it and lift your voice to God again.

You can't read the Psalms without the challenge and inspiration to give thanks. It is the default mode of a believer to be thankful. Regardless of what you think your personality is, you need to be in the habit of deliberately and intentionally giving thanks every day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we'll discover how worship helps you prepare to communicate with God by softening your heart. God loves a heart that praises Him. We'll be in 2 Samuel 6 where we'll see King David dancing and singing and praising the Lord with all of his might before all of Israel. So Mark poses the question to us, should our worship to God be any different? We'll determine the answer to that question in our message title, Breakthrough Worship, from our series, Finding Words.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, there is NO higher calling than to worship God. We're continuing our series called, Finding Words ... and we're looking at what it means to experience breakthrough worship. Worship doesn't always come naturally for most people. So, it might be a challenge. Especially if you have not been around the things of God for a while. Maybe you are a new believer. Maybe it feels awkward? But, worship is actually the atmosphere of the People of God. It's what we breathe and what flows out of us. And it's what needs to happen in order for God to accomplish what He wants to in our life. Join us in learning more as we open the Bible to Psalm 96.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we're learning how to renew our hearts and find fellowship with God. God desires for us to have joy, gladness, purity of heart and a steadfast spirit. Things we can sum up as being in His presence. But, when outside forces cause our inward fellowship to become interrupted, we need a cleansing. Mark will help show us how as we continue our study in Psalm 51. The message title is, Confession and Cleansing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we'll discover that a key part of prayer is confession and cleansing. Psalms 51 is so powerful because it is one of restoration. King David was at a dark place in his life and it's in this process of repentance where we see life starting to spring up again. So many of us feel overwhelmed, full of shame of our failures and guilt ... the enemy keeps us locked in that place. Today you will be challenged with the steps out of this and we'll see how the word "confession" is not and ugly word, but a very powerful one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, we're learning that God wants us to be honest with Him. But how do we find the right words? Learning to pray comes from a heart of worship and praise. And when we find God's presence, our language and the words we use should reflect that presence. But, is finding and staying in God's presence always that easy? Mark will answer that question as we continue looking at Psalm 84.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe, learn how to stop struggling with what you say ... when you pray. We're starting a new series today to help you pray in a bold and effective way. Every time we talk about prayer, people tend to say, oh no... I should be doing more of it, it's so difficult ... and they feel guilty about it. There is something inside of us that tells us we should be praying, but we often have the wrong perspective. Hopefully in these upcoming messages, you will re-discover the joy of praying and it will flow in a more natural way and not a task that you have to accomplish, but a relationship to engage in. Join us in Psalm 84 and follow along with the message, Staying in the Presence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps ... how God provides second chances. "No pain, no gain"...it's a phrase we associate with physical works outs, but applies to our spiritual growth as well.

We’re continuing a message about what it means to bring ourselves back to the heart of God.  It’s a lesson from the book of Luke, where Jesus gave a parable about two sons, and the different choices they made with their inheritance.  One son stayed at home with his father to continue working and growing responsibly … and the other son took all of his inheritance and left home, journeying off to another land where he ended up squandering all the wealth he had been given.  In desperation, the prodigal son found himself looking for work … and that’s where today’s lesson picks up.  If you have your Bible handy, go ahead and open to Luke chapter 15, starting in verse 15, for today’s Bold Steps lesson, titled … Returning Back to the Father’s Heart …See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The “Positions Trap” says you have value when you prove it with your actions and your accomplishments. Are you stuck in this endless cycle of trying to find value in the way others see you? Find relief today… on Bold Steps. We concluding our series, Identity Theft. A powerful look at the traps in our lives that we allow to define our worth and value. We pick up where we left off last time with the lie that says, I’m only somebody if I can earn it by my accomplishments and how others see me. This thinking can quickly enslave and set us on a solitary path of constant striving and insecurity. Teaching from Luke 4 helps set our thinking straight as we continue with Part 2 of the “Position Trap”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you driven by achievement? or do you chase recognition over truth about yourself? Today on Bold Steps, how God gives real and lasting value and worth and a way out of… the position trap. Luke 4:9-11 says, The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down from here.10 For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; 11 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ This temptation isn’t about Jesus saving Himself, it’s about being tempted to elevate Himself to a position of authority before the right time. Our focus will be about how you see yourself and where you get your value from. The “Position Trap” says that you get this by being honored by other people and proving it with your actions and achievements. This goes for “religious” people too—it’s NOT about proving your spirituality! It affects every area of our life and can seriously trip us up in our walk with God.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you feel like satisfaction is only a purchase away? Well, it’s a trap very easy to fall into, especially in our culture of consumerism.

Do you really know who you are?  That’s the question, today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. Mark is going to be talking about one of his favorite topics when it comes to following Jesus and that’s identity.  Who we are in Christ Jesus.  We were able to catch up with him at another Moody Bible Institute President’s Chapel where he spoke to students about this topic … and it is very important, especially for younger people on a college campus to know who they are. College campuses are one of the loneliest places in the country! Much of that loneliness comes from feelings of isolation and feeling like they don’t measure up. That’s an ID problem! In this message we’ll learn from someone in the Bible who also struggled with identity …. and we’ll see how God was able to meet them in their struggle and establish a clear calling and purpose.  Our message is titled Identity Matters.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps … Pastor Mark Jobe encourages us to let go of our failures, and let the love of God lead us into new life. We continue our message about overcoming our failures … and running to the presence of Jesus.  Sometimes the failures of our past have a way of dragging us down, keeping us trapped in guilt, shame, and the fear of repeating the same mistakes all over again.  But when we shift our focus away from ourselves, away from our past, and we put our focus on the love and hope of Jesus Christ … that’s when a real breakthrough begins to take place. The message is titled Jesus Encounters a Shattered Heart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you really investing yourself in the worship you give to God?  Find out today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. On yesterday’s program, we began a brand-new series called Encounters … Life Defining Moments with Jesus.  And to get this series started, Mark began by addressing a very fundamental experience to the Christian faith, and one of the major opportunities we have, every day, for a genuine experience with God … and that’s worship.  But as we learned, our worship can either be a true and lavish experience … or it can be forced and cheap.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe explains the crucial difference between cheap worship … and lavish worship. When is the last time you had a “life-defining moment”?  Maybe you were married recently.  Maybe you had a near-death experience.  Or maybe a spiritual lightbulb went off at a meeting or church service and suddenly God’s plans for you in the coming year were made crystal clear.  Mark is going to expand on that concept of life-defining moments as we look at an encounter with Jesus in Mark 14 that left the woman (with perfume) DIFFERENT and an encounter that changed her life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Are you living up to God’s calling for your life … as a neighbor?  That’s the subject today on Bold Steps with Pastor Mark Jobe. Today's message will challenge our perspective on what it means to be a good neighbor.  Truth is, sometimes the people right around us can fall through the cracks of our hearts and minds … and in our pursuit of ‘bigger’ missions or ‘loftier’ visions … we can miss out on the divine opportunities God has placed right in front of us.  To better illustrate this point, Mark is referencing one of the parables of Jesus, known as The Good Samaritan.  We’re joining him today with our Bibles open to Luke chapter 10, starting in verse 30.
