The Faith Tested By Fire Podcast

I recently reflected on the drastic changes we've all experienced over the past few years, especially since 2020. On the latest episode of the Faith Tested By Fire podcast, we dive into how life feels fundamentally different today than it did in the not-too-distant past. From shifts in culture and relationships to our sense of normalcy, it's clear that this period marks more than just a historical...

🌍 Did everything in our world change in 2020—except God's promises? I recently reflected on this question in the latest episode of the Faith Tested by Fire podcast. So much has shifted over the last few years, impacting our daily lives, relationships, and sense of security. But one thing remains immutable: the faithfulness of God and the certainty of His promises. Here are 3 key takeaways: Nothin...

Drawing from his own 40-year spiritual journey, Jim Galiano shares pe...

After a season away, Jim opens up about life’s busyness, the spiritual challenges we face, and the key role hope plays alongside faith and love in our daily walk.

In today's episode, we will take a closer look at various themes related to faith, trials, and revelations. We'll talk about the importance of seeking personal revelation from God rather than relying solely on external sources like Bible teachers. I'm talking about the need for direct communication with God through the Holy Spirit to receive insights and guidance tailored to individual challenges....

In this episode, I want to talk about the importance of walking by faith and not by sight in 2023. What's different about 2023? It's not so much about the year as it is about what so many believers experience on a personal level. For example, the Bible says all things are possible to those who believe. That verse alone opens the door to endless possibilities. Somewhere along the line, though, many...

Welcome back to the Faith Tested By Fire Podcast. Today, In today's episode, we're asking a big question, are you happy with where you are in your life? Or, do you still want God to transform your life in a big way? It's easy to get comfortable with where we are. It's easy to assume that if God had more for us, it would happen through an act of some kind of intervention. The truth is, it's easy to...

In the parable of the weight and tares, both grow up together before the final harvest. Although we don’t know the day and the hour of Jesus’ return, we’re getting closer every day. The signs we’re seeing all around us have intensified significantly over time. It's no longer an exaggeration by any standard to say we're living through perilous times. Although times have certainly changed, Jesus is...

First, let me take a minute to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. It’s good to be back! Our former podcasting service has closed up shop and we’re now live on a new and improved hosting service. In today’s episode, I want to take a look at a few tough questions. For example, if God is good, why does He allow so many terrible things to happen? Maybe you’ve asked this question you...

I’ve been reading about the signs of the times since the 1980s. And of course, generations of writers have written about the topic long before that. I imagine predictions of the end go back to the Apostle Paul’s time. Over the years, many have placed their short-term hopes in the rapture to put an end to the trials, tests, and tribulations they were facing in their lives. I can’t imagine the disap...

In today’s podcast episode, I’d like to share with you some encouraging thoughts on what Jesus taught His disciples – starting in Matthew, Chapter 7. What Jesus taught will work as well for you and I today as it did for those who believed and put their faith Him then. In this lifetime, each of us must confront our own doubts, fears, and uncertainties. If you’re in the midst of a trying time in you...

Hope is a scarce commodity in the time we’re living in. According to statistics, the numbers of people afflicted by depression have reached all-time highs. Especially among younger people. The world in general is grappling with hopelessness on a mass scale. Everything from disease and global warming to financial ruin – those are the messages that dominate our time. And yet, there remains an eterna...

Many times, our faith is seriously challenged by what the Bible calls, “Unbelief.” If it weren’t so, Paul (writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) wouldn’t have said – “Fight the good fight of faith.” Faith is a fight. Especially when we’ve been faced with problems and difficulties that just don’t seem to go away. We’ve all been there. You live in a state of unrest relative to certain pr...

During the past year and a half, we’ve experienced what it was like to live in a world where life as we knew it ground to a halt. Even though life here in Florida was more “open” than it was in many other parts of the country, it was still far from normal. Today, as we see the world slowly reopening again, I don’t see things going back to the way they were – Post-Covid or post-2020. Why? I really...

In today’s podcast, I’d like to talk about one of the most controversial topics in the Christian circles today. I’m talking about the Prophetic ministries and the predictions of events that are supposed to occur in the very near future. You won’t want to miss this. That and more in today’s podcast episode.

In today’s podcast, I’d like to talk about something that keeps us from experiencing some of the bigger breakthroughs many of us have longed for in our daily lives. I’m talking about unbelief. Hear me out, I believe this will really have a positive impact on your life. The original disciples of Jesus experienced “unbelief” just as we do. And keep in mind, they lived, ate, and traveled with Jesus f...

There was a time in my life when I felt like the woman from Canaan. Matthew 15:22-23 KJV (22) And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. (23) But he answered her not a word. In one sense, I knew the Lord was there… but it seemed that He chose to remain silent. One...

The Bible has recorded many stories of people who experienced severe trials and tribulations before finally getting their breakthrough. The story is really no different today. If you’re the cause of your problems, God can still help and rescue you from them. If there are delays that are your fault, God will not abandon you. Remember, salvation in all its applications (both in this life and the one...

According to Hebrews 4:1, we can fall short of God’s promises for our lives in the here and now. Falling short of God’s promises is basically falling short of God’s best. Recently, I looked back at the past several months and realized that I, too, was falling short of God’s best. Yes, there are tests and trials. That’s a given. But according to the Bible, we’ve been promised (among other things) p...

Life seems to have more than its share of frustrating moments. That’s especially so when you’ve prayed and asked for help, but the help you’re seeking seems to have been indefinitely delayed. Some of life’s challenges seem to persist over time and become points of frustration. In fact, it’s easy to certain things as being “normal” over time. Especially if you consider the lives of those around us....

We find ourselves in an interesting period of time here at the start of a new decade. The current pandemic has pushed masses of people into a unique period of trial and testing. Fear, worry, and stress have become the norm over the past few weeks. Some people may ask, “Where is God in all of this?” Or, “Will I be protected?” The truth is, God doesn’t want you to be fearful or worried? Why? That’s...

I have an encouraging word that I’d like to share with you in today’s podcast. Most of the time we can’t see how God is working in our lives. From the outside, it may appear that we’re stuck. To us, the possibility of things going downhill from there appears to be quite real. Naturally, the negative emotions tied to those thoughts can be very powerful. The truth of God’s Word, however, paints a mu...

Happy New Year to you! I hope you enjoyed the holiday season of 2019 with your friends and loved ones. During the past month and a half, I took the time to examine some of the central truths from the Bible in a fresh and practical way. There’s always room to grow in life. There’s always room for improvement. That’s especially so when it comes to spiritual things. During the last few episodes of th...
