   You Sound Like Your Father

   We all sound like the people we belong to. But the voices that spoke over us didn't just shape how we sound; they shaped who we are. Some of us walk in confidence because someone spoke a gift into us. Some of us still carry words that were said, or words that were never said. In this episode, Mike opens James 3:1-12 to explore the power of the tongue and why no human being can tame it on their own. You'll be challenged to move from communicating to creating, from speaking to showing, and from struggling to surrendering. Three simple takeaways to help you say the right thing:• Season your words with salt (Colossians 4:6)• Speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15)• Surrender your tongue to the Holy Spirit (Psalm 141:3) Because if your tongue can create when it speaks to others, it can create when it speaks to you, too. The question is simple: whose voice are you echoing? Scripture: James 3:1-12 (CSB) Connect with us:becomedisciples.com.auInstagram & Facebook: @mikeandchristelle

   Favouritism: The Selfishness Behind the Smile

   Favouritism is the sin we've all committed, and rarely confessed. We call it being friendly. We call it being practical. We call it knowing the right people. But James gives it its real name. In this message from James 2:1–4, Pastor Mike unpacks the selfishness hiding behind our smiles: the way we use people while telling ourselves we're loving them, the way our kindness to the poor can quietly become a performance, and the way the church can start ranking people the same way the world does. You'll hear: - Why not every stereotype is sin, and where the line gets crossed - What favouritism actually is (a working definition that cuts both ways) - Why the cure isn't reversal, it's equal opportunity - A hard word for those tempted to play the victim - How the cross levels the ground for every person who comes to it "The church of Jesus Christ must be the one place on earth where a person is not measured by their clothing, their colour, their accent, their gender, or their wealth, but welcomed as a person Christ died for."

   The 3 Stages Before God Answers Prayer | Why God Delays Your Answer | Pastor Mike Matumaini

   Have you ever wondered if God is actually hearing your prayers? You've been praying. Nothing's changed. And quietly, you've started asking, "God, do You even see me?" This message is for anyone stuck in the silence between the prayer and the provision. Because God isn't ignoring you, He's preparing you. In this message, Pastor Mike walks through the three stages we often experience before we see God move: the prayer, the process, and the provision. Grounded in Exodus 3, the story of Hannah, and the moment God opened Hagar's eyes in the wilderness, this is a message for anyone in a waiting season. You'll hear: - Why God hears every prayer, even the ones you can't put into words - The difference between an unanswered prayer and an unseen answer - Why God often changes you before He changes your situation - How Hannah left the temple with peace before she left with a promise - What to do when the answer feels delayed. Scriptures referenced (CSB): Exodus 3:7-8, Psalm 56:8, Revelation 8:3-4, 1 Peter 3:12, 1 John 5:14-15, Jeremiah 29:11-13, 2 Chronicles 7:14, John 9:31, 1 Samuel 1:15-18, Genesis 21:15-19. 🌐 Website: becomedisciples.com.au 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeandchristelle/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeandchristelle/ If this message encouraged you, share it with someone who needs it, and follow the podcast so you don't miss the next one.
