As Christmas approaches, it’s easy to get swept up in the busyness of the season—decorations, gifts, gatherings. But what if we chose to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the sacred meaning of this time? In this podcast, I’m sharing a message from Luke 1:26-38, exploring four powerful lessons from Mary’s response to the news of Jesus’ birth. Her example offers us a blueprint for embracing God’s plans with trust and humility in the midst of unexpected circumstances. This Christmas, let’s intentionally make room for Jesus in our lives, allowing His peace, joy, and love to take root and reign in our hearts. -- ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra is a Pediatric ER doctor, now practicing telemedicine, and founder of Living With Power Ministries.

Do you ever feel like you don’t measure up? Like life’s challenges leave you clinging to nothing but God’s grace? It’s easy to see our struggles as the worst thing that could happen to us. But the Bible shows us that our broken places are often where God does His most transformative work. Today I want to encourage you with a message I recently shared at an event from John 21: The goodness of God when life is hard.  I believe this word will uplift and remind you of the incredible grace and power of God’s love even in the most unexpected places—our weaknesses, our sins, our doubts.    ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra is a Pediatric ER doctor, now practicing telemedicine, and founder of Living With Power Ministries.

Paul never tires of telling his conversion story, and God never tires of using it to impact others. Today we’re wrapping up Acts 26 where Paul shares before King Agrippa, Governor Festus, and other officials his testimony and the reasons behind his unshakable confidence in God’s promises. Here are six key insights we can draw from this passage: We hope in the promise because of the one who made the promise. We hope in the promise because of the testimony of others. We hope in the promise because Jesus is risen. We hope in the promise because of how we have changed. We hope in the promise because we obey. We hope in the promise because God can do anything.   ABOUT: Lina AbuJamra is a Pediatric ER doctor, now practicing telemedicine, and founder of Living With Power Ministries.

Last week, we began exploring ten principles for living based on Paul’s missionary journeys and messages. Today, we’ll wrap up our discussion on his life manifesto. Here’s what Paul’s life was all about: Serve with humility despite what you think you deserve. Be bold in preaching the gospel despite the persecution. Focus on the message despite the improbability of the hearers. Be compelled by the Spirit despite not knowing what lies ahead. Be abandoned to the faith despite a wretched past. Be attentive to the flock despite the attack. Be attached to the Word despite the distractions. Be dependent on the Lord despite your desperate need. Fix your eyes on the Lord despite the threat of the future. Be thankful for the prison because of the opportunity (to testify to others). P.S.
