Mike Q. Daniel LIVE!

The storms continue, but grace abounds! Welcome to Ep. #969 - “Learning Cozy in the Cold” - day 3 in a week of “Weathering in Grace” devotional talks as the country perseveres a national storm.  My friends cozy in Christ is as much about learning and orienting in truth as making progress through the blurry and disorienting storms we sometimes feel stuck in.  If you’ve ever wondered if you’re makin...

Good Morning - Welcome to: Ep. 968 - “Storm Pressure” Storms can complicate more than dealing with weather change, they interrupt system systems in our lives.  If you’re feeling under pressure lately - or the domino effect, one thing going wrong, so several things seem to falter, this talk is for you.

Ep. #967 - "Diamonds in the Storm" The weather across the US is harsh to say the least, but at times like this God often draws our hearts and hopes to Him.   The weather can preach better than most of us!

Welcome to Ep. #966 - “Serving for Life?” That sounds more like a sentence than a relationship, doesn’t it?  We’ll talk about the role of service (and what it isn’t) in the Christian life as a brief encouragement to launch your Thursday. 

Good morning, Grace Tribe!!  Ep. #965 - “Wisdom, Fruitfulness, and the Table We Choose“   So glad to be back LIVE with you all today!     Question: How do we choose wisely and live fruitfully?  Doesn’t that sound good?  The Bible instructs our direction in wisdom.  

Welcome to Ep. #96 4 - “O Me! O Life! — And the God Who Answers Back” ☕️ Ever felt the quiet ache of asking, “What is this all for?”  Not in a dramatic, crisis kind of way—but in the honest, end-of-the-day, soul-level way.

 Welcome to Ep. #963 - “To Live Is Christ (where you ACTUALLY live!)”  What does it really mean “to live is Christ” and how does that even happen?  Where? When?  

Happy Tuesday, Saints! Welcome to Ep. #962 - Hand-holding 101 on Mike Q. Daniel LIVE!  with the Grace Tribe!   What makes the difference in doing the day in rigorous isolation, or doing the day religiously for God, versus doing the day out of intimate and divinely sustaining fellowship with him in our experience? 

Welcome to Ep. #961 - “Denying Truth Deniers?  The Power of the Cross AFFIRMING Life!“  What if God likes who you are? Wouldn’t that impact our walk and relationship with Him today? 

Welcome to Episode #960 — “Discerning the Year You’re Actually Being Invited to Live”, Part 4 of Permission to Live Deeply.  What if you could walk into this new year living from Christ as Life—without striving to get it right or fearing you’ll miss God?   What if the pressure is off but growth is still yours in Him?  How can we discern His leading and participate in His transformative process for...

Welcome to Episode # 959,  Living by Responsive Rhythms, Not Reactive Hustle, Part 3 of Permission to Live Deeply.  If I’m not the cause of fruitfulness, what am I responsible for?  What does faithfulness look like when outcomes are no longer my job? How do I live intentionally without living anxiously?  

Good morning, Grace Tribe!  Welcome to Ep. #958 : “Responding From Authentic Life, Not Reacting to Circumstances” — Part 2 of Permission to Live Deeply, on Mike Q.

Welcome to Ep. #956 : “A Thriving Life—This Year and Beyond”!  Live just ONE DAY only this week!  Got one goals or desires or themes for the New Year?  Me too!  But - How do we shift from the metrics of goals and strife and struggle and pride and anxiety and neediness to FULLNESS and REST and JOY and THRIVING by grace? 

Good morning beloved of God! Welcome to Ep. #955 : “A Very Personal Gift” (day 1 in our 12 day Christmas grace countdown!). We often think of Christmas historically, sometimes even spiritually, but what about personally?  What if it was personal for Him to give this child, this life, this eternal hope specifically TO you?   He didn’t just show up in a manger.  He really did show up living in and t...

Good morning, Saints!  Welcome to Ep. # 954 - A Little Light… The Practical Grace You REALLY Need?”   We have severe weather and power outages this morning, so not sure about going LIVE, but will try!   Let’s do a brief show today (if possible) and kick off Christmas weekend with a little light to share together!

Welcome to Ep. #953 — “Finders Keepers?”, day 2 in our 12 days of Christmas Countdown! ☕🎄 Around grace-based circles, we’re often told not to seek Christ—because “you already have Him.” While it’s COMPLETELY true that we have Him in perfect union, is that the point of seeking?  Could there be something more? What if the problem isn’t having Christ… but finding Life in our circumstances instead o...

Welcome friends to Ep. #952 : “Good Tidings of WHAT?!” - Day 3 in our Christmas countdown!  What is the deal with the human heart, really?  How and why do we respond to God’s love and grace as we often do?

Good morning, Grace Tribe! Welcome to Ep. #951 - “The ‘WITH-NESS’ of Christmas”!  If the uphill climb of daily life ever makes you feel isolated or misunderstood, you need to know the presence of God as promised and made practical in the “with-ness”, of Emmanuel today.  There’s often a nostalgia, an ache, at Christmas, where we long for closeness.  The traditional idea of cozy really has to do wit...

Welcome to Ep. #950 - “Incarnation-al YOU!”, day 5 our 12 days of Christmas Grace countdown!  All the stress and strife of this work cannot be managed by you. What needs to get done can’t be accomplished by you. It’s exhausting. Impossible, and disheartening. You don’t have to climb the be “the one” in every area of your life, even please God to get needs met. He has a better way for you today. 

Welcome to Ep. #949 : “Happy Holy Days!”, day 6 in our 12 Day Christmas Countdown!  Ever had a burning passion to live a holy life?  Have you been frustrated that society seems to be trying to scrub Christ out of Christmas? 

Welcome to Ep. #948 “Josephology” - day 7 in our 12 days countdown of grace! (with Mike and UK guest, Neil Pledger!)  What do you do when obedience suddenly feels expensive?  When following God costs you reputation, comfort, or the life you carefully planned? In Day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas Grace, we look at Joseph’s impossible dilemma and ask: How do you trust God’s calling when the fallout...

Episode #947 — “Oh, Wise Guys!” How did a group of outsiders from Babylon spot the arrival of the Messiah when the people closest to the promise completely missed it?  And more importantly… what does that reveal about how YOU navigate God’s calling TODAY? What if wisdom in the ages looks nothing like what we’ve been taught… and everything like what the wise men learned and sought centuries before...

Episode # 946, “Glory to God REALLY in The HIGHEST?!” Why does doing exactly what God calls you to often feel impossible, resisted, or chaotic? Why does obedience sometimes make life harder, not easier? Day 9 of 12 Days of Christmas Grace explores the surprising answer hidden in the genealogy of Jesus — and why God delights to work through the overlooked, the unlikely, and the utterly incapable.

Welcome to Ep. #945 : “Keeping Watch” What if the very responsibilities we feel pressured to manage are actually the context of God revealing Himself to us?  And what if the shepherds on that hillside weren’t just keeping watch over sheep… but being set up for something far greater?  In today’s episode, we explore the real question behind our fear of “letting go”: How do we stay faithful to what’s...
