What Are You Passionate About to Sacrifice Your All?

In this teaching episode of the iRefresh Podcast, Sheryl Kloehr dives into the life of Stephen from Acts 6–8: a man described as "full of faith and of the Holy Spirit," whose unwavering obedience led to opposition, false accusations, and ultimately martyrdom — yet whose face shone with the glory of God even in his final moments. This episode unpacks what it means to be prepared for spiritual battle long before opposition arrives, why doing what's right doesn't guarantee an easy path, and how God's glory sustains us through the hardest seasons of life. Along the way, you'll hear a powerful personal story about witnessing God's glory rest on a loved one facing illness — a reminder that His presence transforms us even in suffering. Whether you're facing criticism for standing on your faith, wrestling with obedience to something God has called you to do, or simply want to understand the deeper meaning behind Stephen's story, this episode will encourage you to keep sowing seeds of faith — even when you can't see the harvest. 00:00 Introduction: The Power of God's Glory 00:25 What Motivates Us: Passion and Purpose 02:47 Meet Stephen: A Man Full of Faith 05:49 The Preparation Behind the Anointing 08:30 Full of Grace and Power: Stephen's Ministry 09:28 Opposition Rises: The Synagogue Confronts Stephen 13:38 False Accusations and the Sanhedrin Council 15:39 Threatened by Change: The Fear of the Unknown 19:36 The Face of an Angel: Reflecting God's Glory 24:29 A Personal Testimony: Seeing Glory in Suffering 27:08 Stephen's Sacrifice and Saul's Future 29:50 Called to Share His Glory Website: https://www.irefresh.net/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/irefresh Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irefreshministry/

The Life-Changing Power of Reading the Bible Four Times a Week

In this episode of the iRefresh Podcast, host Sheryl Kloehr sits down with photographer, editor, and prayer team member Deana Spyres to talk about how Scripture moved from a source of guilt and legalism to the most life-giving part of her day. Deana shares her journey from growing up in church "knowing about God" to truly encountering Him in His Word — reading through the New Testament for the first time, discovering surprising details in the Old Testament, and learning that following Jesus is about relationship, not rule-keeping. They also break down eye-opening research from the Center for Bible Engagement showing how consistent Scripture reading impacts loneliness, anger, addiction, and even how boldly we share our faith. Whether you've never opened a Bible or you've read it cover to cover, this conversation offers practical, encouraging tools to help you build a real, daily connection with God's Word. 00:00 Introduction: The Power of God's Living Word 00:24 Meet Dina: From Church Girl to Bible Reader 02:30 The Crisis Question: Why Am I Here? 02:50 Starting in the New Testament: Meeting Jesus 04:52 Breaking Free from Shame and Performance 07:21 From Rules to Relationship: Understanding Redemption 09:11 Reading Genesis: God Walked the Earth 11:30 New Revelations Every Time You Read 12:36 The Call to Radical Obedience 13:42 The Mathematical Miracle of Scripture 15:53 Revival Among Young Men: Generation Statistics 22:43 The Four-Day Breakthrough: Life-Changing Statistics 18:16 Overcoming Distractions and Busyness 20:44 The Sacrifice of Time: Worship Through Priorities 28:39 Tools and Translations: Finding Your Bible 35:01 Practical Ways to Get Started 35:25 The 21-Day Challenge: Join the Movement Website: https://www.irefresh.net/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/irefresh Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irefreshministry/

The Purpose of Pruning: Growing and Flourishing in God

Have you ever wondered why God allows seasons of pruning in your life? Just as a gardener carefully trims a plant so it can flourish, our Heavenly Father removes what hinders our spiritual growth so we can bear even greater fruit. In this episode of the iRefresh Podcast, Sheryl Kloehr shares a simple yet powerful lesson she discovered while pruning holly bushes in her neighborhood. What began as ordinary yard work became a vivid reminder of the life-changing truth found in Jesus' words: "I am the vine; you are the branches." As Sheryl reflects on the difference between living and dead branches, she explores how staying connected to Christ strengthens our faith, protects us from spiritual decline, and produces lasting fruit. She also reveals how the hidden decay within a plant mirrors what can happen in our hearts when we neglect God's Word, isolate ourselves, or believe the enemy's lies rather than God's truth. 00:00 Introduction: The Lies We Believe 00:20 Welcome and the Yard Work Revelation 01:10 The Pruning Process Begins 01:40 Scripture: The True Vine 02:47 Pruning Is Not Punishment 03:18 Dead Branches vs Living Branches 04:29 Staying Connected to Bear Fruit 05:09 The Enemy's Attack on Dead Branches 05:50 Rejecting Lies and Embracing Truth 06:51 Hidden Death Beneath the Surface 07:47 You Cannot Fake Being a Christian 08:07 Invitation: Prayer and Community 08:52 Closing: Keep Pursuing God Website: https://www.irefresh.net/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/irefresh Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irefreshministry/
