No Comments on S6, Ep. 10: Grasping God’s Promise Despite What We See

Have you ever walked through a season where what you see looks nothing like what God promised? Maybe the circumstances feel contradictory. Maybe the timing feels off.

In today’s episode, Yilda Rivera talks about grasping God’s promises even when the situation or what we perceive is at odds with the promise. And she shares a testimony in which the Lord gave her a revelation in the form of a one-word promise—that at that moment, she didn’t know how to grasp.

If you’re in the messy middle… or if you just need to be reminded that God is still faithful even when everything around you is shifting, listen to this episode and learn how to anchor yourself in who God is and what He sees.

Click to listen to this encouraging episode and discover that in those seemingly nonsensical places, God’s glory shines the brightest. You are not alone, and God’s promise over your life still stands.

Welcome to Coffee With Jesus Contributor Spotlight! This month, we shine the spotlight on Elizabeth B. Bristol.

Elizabeth Bristol is an esteemed author.

While working as a missionary in Palestine and Mozambique, Elizabeth found purpose for her wanderlust. She loved feeding people and spending a night each week on top of the Mount of Temptation fasting and praying. She loved the miracles and healings she saw, even though she often wondered, Will I live through this?

She’d always thought hanging out with God would be boring and she’d have no cool friends. What a big lie that turned out to be. She’s driven across the country 48 times often arriving at “just the right time” to process a road-killed moose or throw on a hoop skirt and dance the Virginia Reel at a Civil War reenactment. She’s spoken to all kinds of groups and worked as a camp counselor where she created a virtual mission trip for kids.

S6, Ep. 8: Helping Those Who Need It Most

Post date November 24, 2025

This is not going to be the typical episode of Coffee With Jesus.

Since the mid 2000’s, there has been a rise in kids born with special needs. Groups serving these kids, and their parents, have also increased. What about those kids who age out of the programs? What happens to them?

That is called “the cliff” in the special needs community.

In this episode, our special guest, Julie Schall, talks about how God called her to serve those who aged out of the programs available to them. Listen to hear both the need these adults have and the hope that is provided to them.

S6, Ep. 6: Discerning Truth: What are False Prophets?

Post author By Todd Uebele
Post date October 27, 2025

Not everyone who says, “God told me…” is speaking truth. With so many voices out there, particularly about the end times, it’s easy to be overwhelmed with stress, anxiety, and fear. So, how can we learn to discern false prophets?

In our new episode, our host, explores what prophecy is and who are false prophets according to Scripture. He gives us a two-step approach to test if someone is a false prophet or if a message comes from God.

Listen in and be encouraged—God’s Word is our guide. In a time when confusion can run high, developing spiritual discernment is essential to abide in Jesus and His peace. Tune in and let’s grow in discernment together.
