5 Minutes and Coffee

Share Your Thoughts. What season of life are you in right now? In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we reflect on Ecclesiastes 3 and the reality that every part of life has its own season. Just as nature operates in order—winter, spring, summer, and fall—our lives were never designed to carry every responsibility, opportunity, and expectation all at once. Sometimes the stress and chaos we f...

Share Your Thoughts. Have you ever made a decision in the moment that you later wished you could take back? In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we explore how selfishness often drives the choices we regret most. Looking at the story of Esau and Jacob in Genesis 25, we see how one moment of urgency led to a decision that carried lasting consequences. That same pattern shows up in our lives...

Share Your Thoughts. In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we explore how comparison quietly robs us of joy by shifting our focus away from how God created us and onto what the world expects us to be. Using Jeremiah 1:5, this episode reminds us that our identity and worth were established by God long before the world had an opinion. The world will often criticize what God has uniquely gifted...

Share Your Thoughts. It’s easy to question why some people seem to be blessed, even when their lives don’t reflect God. In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:45—that God sends rain on everyone, both the just and the unjust. This truth challenges how we think about fairness, blessing, and grace. Instead of focusing on what others receive, this episode shif...

Share Your Thoughts. When life feels overwhelming and everything seems to be happening at once, it’s easy to react with stress, confusion, and urgency. We must ask ourselves, is there another reaction that we can have? In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we look at 1 Corinthians 14:33 and Mark 4:39 to show that God is not the author of confusion—He is the source of peace and power. Just as...

Share Your Thoughts. Words are often seen as small, but Scripture shows they carry real weight. In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we reflect on the blessing given in Numbers 6 and how God chose words as the means to bless His people with peace, protection, and favor. From creation itself—when God spoke the world into existence—to the words we use every day, the Bible reveals that speech...

Share Your Thoughts. Conflict is a part of life, but waiting for the other person to change first can keep us stuck in frustration and division. In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we explores what it means to be a peacemaker and why Scripture teaches that peace often begins with our own actions. Drawing from Romans 12:18, the focus is not on controlling how others respond, but on doing ou...

Share Your Thoughts. War and conflict can be frightening, especially when the headlines feel constant and overwhelming. But Scripture reminds us that hearing about wars and rumors of wars does not mean the world is ending tomorrow. These things were spoken of long ago, and they should not cause fear among believers. In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee we reflects on what Jesus taught in Matt...

Share Your Thoughts. When life feels uncertain, delayed, or disappointing, it’s easy to question where you stand — and where you’re headed. In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we consider the truth that God’s plan does not disappear just because your circumstances feel confusing. Drawing from Jeremiah 29:11, this message is a reminder that what feels like delay, detour, or absence is God&a...

Share Your Thoughts. We all enjoy the mountaintop seasons of life — when things are going well and faith feels easy. But what about the valley? In this episode of 5 Minutes & Coffee , we reflect on Psalm 23:4 and remember that the valley is not God’s absence — it’s often where His presence is felt most. Whether you’re facing struggles in relationships, work, health, or faith, the valley can be...

Share Your Thoughts. From the Archive — Listener Revisit This week we’re revisiting a past episode that pairs directly with our newest release, Begin With the End in Mind. Planning the destination is important — but planning alone doesn’t produce results. At some point, action has to follow vision. In this episode, what started as a small task that could have been handled immediately turned into a...

Share Your Thoughts. Good intentions aren’t enough without preparation. In this episode of Five Minutes & Coffee , we reflect on a simple mistake—starting a project without planning for the outcome—and how that same mindset often shows up in our spiritual lives, relationships, and personal goals. Drawing from Luke 14:28–30 , this episode challenges listeners to think beyond the desire for resu...

Share Your Thoughts. Love doesn’t prove itself in the rush of a feeling; it shows up when we choose God’s way over our will. That’s the heartbeat of this conversation, where we unpack John 14:15 and the everyday tension between emotions that surge and obedience that holds steady. We walk through the highs that make us forget God, the lows that tempt us to leave Him, and the quiet discipline that k...

Share Your Thoughts. Prayer is more than a phrase we say or a response we offer—it is our direct line to God. In this episode of Five Minutes and Coffee , we reflect on how prayer has slowly become casual and commercialized in today’s culture, even though it should be a powerful and consistent part of everyday life. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 , this episode challenges listeners to recons...

Share Your Thoughts. Every day, thoughts enter our minds—some helpful, some harmful, and some that quietly pull us away from truth if we let them stay. In this episode let's be encouraged to be intentional about examining every thought that comes in. This week’s encouragement is simple: notice your thoughts, challenge them with truth, and refuse to let them take hold.  Jacobs & Associates...

Share Your Thoughts. We often say we don’t have time to study, pray, or grow spiritually—but the issue usually isn’t time. It’s how complicated we’ve made the process. In this episode of Five Minutes & Coffee , let's talk about why spiritual growth doesn’t require perfect schedules, long study sessions, or ideal conditions. It starts with recognizing the time you already have and choosing...

Share Your Thoughts. We all have moments when we don’t feel as strong spiritually as we think we should—moments when our faith feels off, our confidence feels shaken, and our expectations don’t match our reality. Whether you’re a new Christian wondering when maturity will show up, or a seasoned believer facing unexpected struggles, this episode is for you. Let's explore why spiritual growth i...

Share Your Thoughts. We all pray for success, for doors to open, for God to “confirm” the path we think makes the most sense. But what happens when the journey doesn’t go where we expected? What if the red carpet God rolls out isn’t leading to the place we pictured — but to the place He knows is best? In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable, honest moments when God answers differently than w...

Share Your Thoughts. Some prayers are loud, some are whispered… and some, like Hannah’s, never make a sound. Yet God hears every one of them. This week, we begin a simple but intentional challenge: seven days, seven words — one word a day, prayed three times daily with focus and faith. Instead of carrying our burdens alone, we’re bringing them to the One who already knows, already cares, and alrea...

Share Your Thoughts. The end of the year brings reflection — not just on what we did, but how we lived. ☕️ Were our habits godly? Did our lives show the fruit of the Spirit?

Share Your Thoughts. In a world full of noise, division, and uncertainty, peace can feel impossible to find. Governments shut down, opinions clash, and even within the church, unity can seem out of reach. But Jesus never told us to be the light when the sun was shining — He called us to shine when it’s dark. In this episode, we talk about what it means to live as light in a divided world. You’ll b...

Share Your Thoughts. We spend so much time trying to look perfect, live perfect, and appear perfect on and offline — but God never asked us to be perfect. He asks us to trust His grace. In this episode of Five Minutes & Coffee , we explore what it means to stop chasing the world’s idea of perfection and instead rest in the freedom Christ gives. When Paul pleaded for relief, Jesus didn’t remove...

Share Your Thoughts. When was the last time you truly unplugged — not just from your phone, but from the noise of the world? In this episode of Five Minutes & Coffee , Jerry Brevil challenges us to step away from our screens and step closer to God. Whether it’s a 30-minute break or a few hours of peace, this “digital fast” is a chance to reconnect with what really matters: your spiritual focus...

Share Your Thoughts. Have you ever thought about what your spiritual environment says about you? In today’s episode of Five Minutes & Coffee , we paint a vivid picture of how our lives can either invite or repel God’s presence. Using a powerful analogy we must ask: Is my life a space where God would dwell? Drawing from Joshua 24:15, we’re reminded to boldly declare, “As for me and my house, we...
