Special Episode: Coffee With Jesus Remembers 9/11

  

  

About 21 years ago, about this time, our host, Todd Uebele was sitting down to dinner onboard the USS Carl Vinson, somewhere in the middle of the Arabian Sea. One of the pilots there mentioned that a plane had hit one of the twin towers. At first, it was thought there a small plane, like a Cessna and an error by pilot.  As they were watching the news, however, our host saw the second plane strike.

A short while later, out on the flight deck as all planes were recovered and made “best speed” made going northward.  They had just relieved the Enterprise Battle Group, who were turned around and became part of our task force. Our host was immediately drafted to serve on the Admiral’s staff and watched as our Task Force doubled and then quadrupled in size.  He stood on the flag bridge and watched the very first planes launch for Operation Enduring Freedom.  A friend on a nearby cruiser sent over videos of the very first tomahawk launch.

While our host is very proud of what he did, it pales in comparison to the first responders and civilian volunteers who literally ran into danger. Firefighters, Police Officers, EMT’s, civilian volunteers. They are the real heroes and heroines. So many sacrificed themselves to help and save others.

Sometime after the terrorist attack (the first few weeks are all a blur), the Secretary of the Navy came to the Carl Vinson to address the crew. At the very end, when he looked around the hangar bay, he seemed to look at each crew member as he challenged them:  “Never Forget.”

Never Forget.

S3, Ep. 2: When Having Hope is Hard

  

  

Hope is a precious commodity. Hope can keep us going when times are rough, but how do we keep that hope when the tough times seem to never end? How can we maintain hope in the storm when the storm continues to rage?

In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, our host shares how he maintained hope during a recent bout with Covid. He discusses four ways that helped him keep hope alive during the height of his pain, during the height of his symptoms. He then shares how we can use those same methods to maintain hope when the world is going crazy.

Whether it is an individual battle, or a worldwide event, hope is always there. Listen as our host shares what worked for him during while he was sick, while the symptom seemed like they would never end.  He shares his experience in the hope that it will work for you during your storm.

Hope is precious, but it can be hard to keep. Follow along as we share how to keep hope alive, and then you too can have hope, even when having hope is hard.

S3, Ep. 1: How Do We Determine God’s Will?

  

  

Do you struggle when trying to discern God’s Will? Do you have a tough time, deciding which choice is the correct choice?

Determining God’s Will can be difficult for many. It is something that our hosts struggle with daily. In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, Todd and Sara share their struggles, their successes and their failures. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your paths straight.”

How do we do that in a practical sense? Listen as our hosts share their struggles and as they share hope. Starting with seeking God’s Will and ending with a sense of peace, they share some practical tips that you can use to discern God’s will in any situation.

Special Episode: God’s Got Your Back

  

  

SPECIAL EPISODE!

The mission of Coffee With Jesus is to spread love, hope, comfort and encouragement throughout the Body of Christ, and even though we are on hiatus for the summer, we felt called to release a special episode so we could try to bring a small bit of comfort to our brothers and sisters. 

The Bible tells us, “I waited patiently for the Lord;  he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.” (Psalm 42:1-2) When you are going through life’s battles, it can be hard to see what is going on outside your own bunker. God can see it though. God is fighting for you. God has got your back. 

Please join us as hour host, Todd Uebele shares a time when God called him to do something and he initially refused. Through God’s patience and persistence, Todd submitted and released  short video. Two years later, with everything that is happening in the world, the message is still relevant: God’s got your back.

S2, Ep. 24: When Things Don’t Make Sense

  

  

Indignation. Disappointment. Frustration. How do we make sense of things when nothing around us seems to make any sense?

Sometimes the weight of discouragement and frustration is so heavy that it makes us feel disappointed, angry, or anxious. In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, Todd and special guest-host Yilda Rivera take us to rock-bottom moments in which Moses, Elijah, and Jeremiah experienced emotional meltdowns. How did they cast their anxiety on God? How did God respond?

Listen to this episode and learn how these three giants in the faith (Moses, Elijah, and Jeremiah) started a raw and unfiltered conversation with God. Their prayers can teach us about navigating through emotional distress when nothing around makes sense.

Know that you don’t have to face extreme pain, grief, or difficulty alone. God is also sad when terrible things happen. He knows about what you are going through. And not only He knows, He wants to walk with you.

Accompany Todd and Yilda in this conversation about when the brutality of life meets God’s goodness and be comforted to experience God’s gentle care on a whole new level.

S2, Ep. 23: What, Me Worry?

  

  

Worry and anxiety work together to conspire against us. These take our sight away from our Maker and steal our peace. So, how can we overcome worry and anxiety when we are surrounded by uncertainty and shaky ground?

In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, our host Todd goes to Matthew 6:25-34. He also shares how that trust that “God will take care of me” helped him constantly throughout the small details of any day and in the big plans during major transitions.

Listen to this episode to dive into the Scriptures and learn directly from Jesus why you should worry not. Be encouraged and trust that God will take care of you.

S2, Ep. 22: A Scar, a Smile, a Song

  

  

Sometimes songs transport us to moments in life. Other times, they keep speaking to us through the life journey itself. 

In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, our host, Sara, shares her story and a song that God used to remind her of His purpose and ever-flowing hope amid tears, hurt, and prayers from the deep. Going through a health condition that shattered her dreams of having more kids, lifesaving transfusions, surgery, and further surgery complications, Sara found peace and strength.

Listen to this episode to know how a scar that once reminded Sara of shattered dreams and traumatic health events turned into a smile (from a little girl’s perspective). 

Sara delivers a bold message of hope through her desire to humbly open her heart. It is no coincidence, as she shared, that when she wrote this episode, the Uvalde shooting occurred. So, we invite you to find hope in this episode and join us in her heartfelt prayer for the Uvalde community.
