Jesus is Real Radio with Daniel Fusco

The world around us needs compassion. As Christians, we want to follow Jesus lead in this area and allow other people's needs to move us to action! Pastor Daniel discusses in today's message how compassion translates into generosity. By giving of what we have, whether in physical resources or in our physical presence, we'll have the opportunity to meet people where they need help the most, and sho...

The early church is a great picture of what living in close, deeply connected community is. Together they studied God's Word and provided practical support for one other. They spent time together at church and at each other's homes. Pastor Daniel shares today how we can model our own relationships with believers after the early church! When we are rooted in a faith community, we'll have the suppor...

We need relationships in our lives. From the moment we're born, we crave connection with others, and in fact fail to thrive if that need isn't met! Today Pastor Daniel will demonstrate how living relationally is vital to our growth Spiritually as well. We need other believers to support us in our faith journey, and in our physical needs as well. We in turn provide support and strength for others,...

Life can definitely get in our way at times. We have bills to pay and innumerable activities to keep track of, and too often God’s plan gets pushed to the side. When we don’t put God’s will first in our lives, we miss out on an incredible journey! Pastor Daniel reminds us today to not let God get lost in the busyness of life, but to let God dictate how our life goes. He has great plans for each of...

There’s a lot of creativity in every person. It may not reveal itself in ways we typically think of, like painting or music, but each individual has unique gifts that make creativity possible. In today’s message, Pastor Daniel encourages us to tap into our God-given talents and use them to spark a creative change in the world around us. God’s creativity is evident in everyone, and today’s a great...

Jesus has done everything for us. When we accept His free gift of Salvation, we’ll find He’s given us life, blessed us, and forgiven our sins! He also serves us, and asks that we live by His example. Jesus wasn’t afraid to do the lowest and dirtiest of jobs, and He didn’t shy away from the people who weren’t like Him. Pastor Daniel today asks us to take Jesus example and apply it to our lives, loo...

This world is filled with injustice. Many times it can become completely overwhelming, and we can feel there’s nothing we can do to make a change! In today’s message, Pastor Daniel reveals a simple Biblical way to begin to tackle the problem of injustice – service! Jesus served people everywhere He went, not allowing their lifestyle, nationality, gender, or anything else to stop Him. We can follow...

Being a part of a church is so important to the health of our spiritual walks! When we spend time with other believers worshipping our Creator and learning together from His Word, we’ll find we have a community that is with us in everything. Pastor Daniel encourages us today to take it one step farther. When we join a smaller, more intimate group of people, we’ll have an immediate support system t...

When difficulties come our way, we don’t have to be afraid! We have something, or rather Someone, on our side who is much greater than anything the enemy can throw our way! Pastor Daniel shares today how the Holy Spirit fills us with the security and strength we need to conquer any situation. We may not be able to see that in the moment of trial, though, so Pastor Daniel encourages us to surround...

Having someone who can speak truth into your life is an incredible blessing! The Bible gives us many examples of a mentor and mentoree relationship, and how beneficial it is in our growth in faith! In today’s message, Pastor Daniel encourages each of us to find someone who can see past our blind spots and isn’t afraid to point out that which we need to fix. This person’s goal will be to point us t...

Human beings many times focus on our own Kingdoms, where we’re in charge and it’s up to us to make things happen. This personal Kingdom brings with it plenty of worry, and plenty of difficulty! Pastor Daniel tells us in today’s message that there’s a better Kingdom for us to focus on! God’s Kingdom, where He’s in control, is so much better! We can rely on God to provide everything we need as we pr...

What do you value? It may be something that is good, but Pastor Daniel warns us in today’s message not to make what we view as valuable our main priority. Our focus should always be on God, and what His plan is for us in His Kingdom! When we let God’s priorities become our own, we’ll allow Him to work in our hearts and direct our steps. Our focus will be on sharing God’s love and grace with the en...

The world gives things that it sees as a priority in life. It can be about developing a perfect family, having a full bank account, or even achieving your own dreams and successes. These things aren’t bad in and of themselves, but they won’t provide lasting happiness. Today we learn from Pastor Daniel that there’s a priority that should trump everything else – God’s Kingdom agenda! God has great p...

Many people think fasting only applies to food and drink. Pastor Daniel today tells us that fasting can be applied to anything we can set aside to spend more time with God! When we fast from technology, social time, and even food, we're saying that God is more important than those things in our lives. We want God's agenda to be our agenda. We also want to rely on God to sustain us, not just in our...

Today, Pastor Daniel talks about the need for self control, and how the Biblical practice of fasting is a good way to work on that aspect of our lives. Fasting in the Bible wasn't really mentioned as an optional activity, but as a regular way of living. The discipline of setting something aside to focus on God is a great way to tune in to what God wants to do in our lives! God wants each of us to...

There's a lot to do in our daily lives! We may work, go to school, have family time, social time, and the list can get longer and longer if we let it! These things can easily become our primary focus, causing us to seek excellence in the world's eyes, rather than God's. Pastor Daniel today asks us to take a look at what we do, and who we're looking to for approval! We should still do our best in e...

Today, Pastor Daniel reminds us that it's not easy to take on God's agenda! The things that God values in life – honesty, grace for others, serving – these things are not what the world values! As we seek to know God in a deeper way, allowing His love to shine through us, we'll start to want to follow God's plan. It won't be popular, and we'll most likely have to give up a lot in this world. Our H...

Our perspectives of ourselves can be quite distorted. We tend to see ourselves based on the world's ideals, and measure ourselves against the successes of others. In today's message, Pastor Daniel shares a new way to gauge ourselves. As we begin to study what it means to look inwardly at ourselves, we need to take on the perspective that God has of us. He sees us as His beloved children, and finds...

There are several good, Bible-based books that have been written through the years. However, Pastor Daniel warns us today to not let these other human authors take the place of God's Word in our lives! These additional writings can be beneficial to us, but they need to be brought back to the Bible to maintain truth in our lives! God's Word is our ultimate source of knowledge of God and how to grow...

Pastor Daniel tells us today that God's Word is alive and working! The Bible wasn't simply ancient words recorded to tell historical tales. On the contrary, each word written has the potential to dive deeply into our hearts and our minds, and speak truth over every situation we find ourselves in! Jesus used Scripture written long before His time on earth to point people to truth. We too can access...

The Bible is a work of truth. The words we read are inspired by God, and do not change as we may desire them to! Pastor Daniel today shares why many people fall away from studying the Bible on a regular basis, reminding us that in our rebellion, the truths of this book are harsh reality checks! However, he also reminds us that God loves us enough to correct us! He wants us to grow in our faith in...

Legalism tends to kill intimacy in our relationship with God! As Pastor Daniel shares today, some people require all sorts of rules and regulations to try to force rest upon God's people. However, the Bible has a different perspective! While it's good to take time to sit with our Savior, we need to focus on the time spent with Him, not the space that we need to create for it. He is the one who wil...

At some point, every person wrestles with the question of why people are here on earth. More specifically, many if not all of us strive to add purpose to our days, not settling for routine and basic existence. In today's message, Pastor Daniel explores why we feel driven to find meaning, and where we greatest meaning for our lives can be found. Here's a hint – it's not in wealth, or success, or fa...

Selfishness is something that can be seen around the world. Ad agencies pander to self promotion, and people want to know what the world can give them. As Pastor Daniel observes, we each think we're the center of the solar system! Jesus has a different perspective though, and today we'll discover how He can change ours too! Jesus calls us to love Him first, and then serve others, looking instead f...

There's a need in all of us for spiritual connection. Many people try to turn to worldly sources to fulfill it, and may be satisfied for a time, but will eventually find that longing reawakened in their soul. Today, Pastor Daniel gives us the answer to where we can find lasting, completely filling spiritual connection – through prayer! When we spend time regularly in communication with God, we'll...
