    What if the small things you do today are actually the beginning of God-sized miracles?In today’s episode of The Lifeline Morning Show, we dive deep into the quiet places of faith — the unseen choices, the tiny acts of patience, the hidden moments of kindness — and how God uses them to build breakthroughs long before we ever notice the results.Mother Teresa said:“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”And today, we discovered just how powerfully true that is.Whether you’re stepping into your morning feeling tired, hopeful, overwhelmed, or somewhere in between… this episode will remind you that:God is working in youHe’s shaping your desiresHe’s strengthening your stepsAnd the things you think don’t matter actually matter the mostOur Word of Life today says it plainly:“For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.”Your Word of Life, from Philippians 2:13 (NLT)You’ll hear powerful stories today — from kids opening up on the Car Line, to parents wrestling with expectations, to entrepreneurs trying to pour excellence into the details, to the reminder that God multiplies every small act of obedience.You’ll also hear:✨ encouragement for the tired parent✨ hope for the overwhelmed soul✨ truth for the anxious heart✨ a call to be faithful in the “small stuff”✨ and a reminder that God turns tiny seeds into overflowing blessingsIf your faith feels quiet today… if your hope feels thin… if life feels too full or too empty… this episode will breathe strength back into your soul.Enjoy the music in 2 ways, either with theSPOTIFY PLAYLISTOr by clicking on each song in the playlist below:In The Room – Matt MaherWorld On Fire – For King & CountrySecret Ambition – Michael W.

    Every sunrise is a second chance — and today’s episode of The Lifeline Morning Show is all about that truth. 💫

    C.S. Lewis once said, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
    Steven takes that wisdom to heart with today’s Word of Life from Ezekiel 36:26 (NLT) — “And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you.”

    In this heartfelt “Momentum Reset” episode, Steven invites you to start fresh with faith, let go of last week’s weight, and rediscover the God who’s still writing your story. You’ll also hear an exclusive live interview and world premiere from local artist BECBOT (Rebecca Masdon) — a walking miracle who was given 3 months to live… and 3 years later is still sharing hope through her new EP, including the powerful debut track “Terminal.”
