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.

Did you find the plastic baby in the King Cake this year?

King Cakes, parades, parties and celebrations. People love to talk about Mardi Gras, but when it comes to Ash Wednesday and Lent, the conversation tends to die down. Penitence can be kind of a downer. Sacrifice is hard.

But neither have to be.

In this episode of "Coffee With Jesus," our host has a slightly different take on Lent, than most people.  The Bible tells us:

"To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice." ~Proverbs 21:3

Join us as our host shares the true purpose behind Lent, and explains his own slightly less orthodox approach to using this time to grow closer to our Father in Heaven. In "Give it Up!" you'll hear both the successes and failures of our hosts personal journey.

While our current Lenten season may be close to over, or while Easter may have already passed, the lessons learned are valuable throughout the year. Listen and be encouraged. Then, develop your own strategy for growing in your walk.

Do you have trouble being still? Is it difficult for you to quiet the chaos and draw close to God

This sequence of words may not be very appealing: “Be still, and know…” (Psalm 46:10)

First, being still is not as easy as it sounds. Second, we want to keep moving…discovering, knowing what lies ahead and what’s next… There is this natural urge to figure out and control our domains, even when doing ministry work. 

There’s so much to do and know. How can we just stop? 

This is the second part of Coffee with Jesus, episode 14 (Be Still). Co-hosts Todd and Sara talk about the struggle with domain and control. They talk about the process of “trusted knowing” and how it works. They will also share some tools you can readily use to be still and know the next step in the right direction.

Listen to the episode to know how to stop and connect with the gift of the Holy Spirit. And in doing so, learn the power behind this simple prayer: “God help!"

Do you have trouble being still? Is it difficult for you to quiet the chaos and draw close to God?

The words "be still" are probably two of the most important words in the Bible, but they are also some of the most difficult to follow. In this episode of Coffee With Jesus, Co-hosts Todd Uebele and Sara van Driel share some practical ways to "be still" before God. They will not only share their own struggles with being still, but they will also share ways they have found to overcome and to simply "be."

They will share the importance of connecting with God and connecting with His Will.

In this episode, our hosts discuss how being still is related to our submission and God's authority. They will share some helpful resources for those who also struggle in their walk, those to struggle to "Be Still."

Listen to the episode to learn about some practical ways and resources to guide you in your walk, to grow in your relationship with Our Father, and how to be still.

Sometimes we go through stressful and difficult times that we find ourselves trapped in a whirlwind with no idea how everything will turn out. It is hard to see God’s helping hand because everything is out of control, crumbling around us.

How can we be sure that God will always come through and help us when hardship overwhelms us?

This episode opens up with an assurance that God, our Father, gave us:

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

This is a powerful and refreshing promise. God wants you to see Him as your refuge, your strength, and your ever-present help.

In this episode, our host Todd shares a story of a time when he and his family were going through a very chaotic time. It was one of those moments in life when suddenly everything started crumbling and going downhill so fast. He needed help badly. So he held on to that promise in Psalm 46, and…

Listen to the episode to see how God was Todd’s refuge, his strength, and his ever-present help amid chaos and lies of hopelessness. Be encouraged to hear the different ways God shows that He is present, how He moves, and how he helps us when we feel surrounded by troubles and at the end of our resources.

 “You never know Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have,”—Special Guest, Michele Dalton. 

Many see resilience as power from within. But after two major accidents that threatened her life, our guest, Michele Dalton, will show you how resilience is power from above when God meets you where you are. 

It was 1990, the night after Thanksgiving when a 1974 Ford Bronco hit Michelle’s car head-on while she was at a stop sign. The fallout over the next year was extraordinary.  After six months in a wheelchair, Michelle couldn’t find a job; she had no money; she couldn’t afford to go back to college, and debt engulfed her. 

Her faith in God and the power of worship comforted her and carried her through that season. With time and through God’s fingerprints—she will tell you what this means—she found an agency that saw great talent in her and trained her as a graphic designer. This opportunity opened a new career for her. 

Then in 2016, another car accident had her pinned to the passenger seat with a 2,500-pounds black Jeep Cherokee on her lap. In this accident, she never blacked out. Thus, the memory of it all made the experience more traumatic.  

She found herself again in pain and with doctors telling her that she was never going to walk. But once again, God came alongside her to face that struggle and turn hopelessness into strength, purpose, and direction. 

Michelle shares with us the short prayer she muttered during that second accident while waiting to be rescued: “Jesus, save us.” And He did. 

God met her where she was and restored her.

Listen to this episode and let Michele tell you how God stuck around her side and saw her through. Discover how God made beauty from the ashes. From the struggle, a new passion ignited in Michelle—writing. She’s now sowing hope and helping those who are dealing with isolation, disappointment, and depression to find the joy of the Lord.

Do you ever feel like God isn't with you?  Sometimes, when going through life's storms, it can be hard to feel God's presence. However, He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. When you have hit Rock Bottom, it can seem like God has left you, but our Lord will NEVER abandon you.

One of God’s biggest promises is that He will never leave us. God is with us in our times of plenty, and He is with us in our time of need. No matter what you may be going through, no matter what storm you are facing, God is with you. No storm, circumstance or need can overcome God’s love for you, or separate you from His awesome power.

Join us for the inaugural episode of our second season and listen as Todd Uebele shares with you real, practical steps that you can take to turn over your anger, your anxiety, your fear, to God.  Todd shares how God helped him recover from rock bottom and shows you how God can help YOU recover from rock bottom as well.

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”—Lewis B. Smedes

How do you go about forgiving someone who has wronged you? What about forgiving someone who has wronged those you love?

Countless sermons have been preached on the importance of forgiveness and our relationship with God. Countless books and commentaries have been written about how forgiveness brings healing to one’s soul. But how do you actually rid yourself of the anger that weighs your heart down?

In this episode “Set me Free,” Todd Uebele bluntly describes a season in his life where he was burdened with unforgiveness and anger toward someone who wronged him and his family while he was stationed in Afghanistan. An insatiable thirst for revenge was consuming him. Forgiveness was so irrational at the time, and unattainable.

Listen to the podcast to discover how,  with God's help, Todd was able to overcome his thirst for revenge and step into the restorative experience of forgiveness.
