				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Waiting on God’s timing is a recurring topic in the Bible. It emphasizes the importance of patience, trust, and faith in God’s perfect plan for our lives! It involves surrendering one’s own desires, needs and “timelines” to align with God’s Devine and Holy Will. In this, is trusting within His timing is ALWAYS best! This understanding is integral to us, as believers, in the Christian Faith. Why is that you may ask? Because it reflects our deep reliance on God’s sovereignty and wisdom over our lives. And trusting His plan within the waiting period.

One this week’s podcast, we go into some deep details and try to explain this in honest, clear explanations for learning to accept God’s timing in our lives and trust His timing, NOT OURS. For His plan is better! This week’s episode also features a message from Pastor Jeff King, that I narrate from his July Issue of Friend To Friend, within the covers of Southwood’s Magazine.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[THE ARMOR UP PODCAST with Daniel Vierno

Affliction in aging refers to the way physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges accumulate over time, shaping how we experience life later in our ability to continue. These changes are not sudden but develop gradually, often interacting with each other and with life events.

So, what can we do as we go through life? So, are we just simply to accept this life when the hurting and the pain overtake us, even sending us to the grave as our bodies fade away. Is this simply the end of the life cycle? But THERE IS MORE! I say to you…. NO, IT IS NOT! We are here for a purpose, and even though our struggles, pain, and illness may get in the way, we must not let it consume us to believing it is the only way out. It is not, for Jesus is the way, (and the truth and the life) and we are comforted in God’s promise that there is something more, when we believe in Jesus as our Lord and Savoir, repent and stay in the will of God during our sufferings.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Earthly fathers give us glimpses of our Heavenly Father’s divine love. Through their sacrifices, protection, guidance, laughter, and presence, they help us understand something of God’s fatherly heart.

Some dads are funny. Some are thoughtful. Some are quiet. Some are larger than life. Most are a beautiful combination of strengths, imperfections, sacrifices, and unconditional love.

No father is perfect. Yet every father is wonderfully and intentionally created by God.

As Christians, Father’s Day also reminds us that no matter our earthly experience of fatherhood, we are never without a Father. God reveals Himself not only as Creator and King but as a loving, merciful, and tender Father who knows us completely and loves us unconditionally.

My story reflects growing up in the world without my father, as my parents separated when I was young, and then they later divorced. (I believe when he wanted to remarry) Sadly, I have no memory or recollection of my father. My mother was wonderful and did the best she could playing both roles as father and mother.

You know, growing up, I couldn’t understand why my father didn’t want to know me. And it wasn’t until I found Jesus in my life to understand that I had a Heavenly Father all along that watching over and with me. Now, that I am in my late 50’s I am not sure if my earthly father is even still alive or not. I pray that he is, and if he is still here, he is always welcome to find me and talk to me, as want him to know, that I do not hold anything against him. I totally forgave him for not being in my life all these years.

Why? You think I would be bitter still and hold it against him. Or worse, perhaps not forgive him… Well, let me say, because as Jesus has forgiven me of my sins and wrongdoings, I can do nothing else but to forgive my biological father and invite and welcome him to reconcile the absence of time and say hello.

Find out more of my story about how being a father myself, and now a grandfather has been so rewarding in my life. This podcast episode has been created to all who are fathers to the children that they bring up and hold dear.

May this podcast also help those who perhaps who live a similar story. Just know that in the end, your Heavenly Father LOVES YOU and will continue to embrace you every day within your relationship with Him.]]></itunes:summary>

The Freedom 250 Mobile History Truck event that was scheduled for next weekend at Westfield State University has been canceled due to concerns about political alignment.

The cancellation stems from public concerns about perceived political alignment, specifically due to the event’s support from PragerU, a media organization associated with a particular political viewpoint.

“Freedom 250 is a nonpartisan organization singularly focused on celebrating America’s 250th anniversary and bringing Americans together around this historic milestone,” Reisner said. “From the outset, our work has reflected the unifying spirit of this moment — beginning with our first signature event, the congressionally approved illumination of the Washington Monument on New Year’s Eve, which set the tone for a nationwide celebration.”

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Explaining the intentional use of the internet and digital tools to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with others. The goal is to spread the message of salvation, encourage spiritual growth, and connect with people where they already spend time online. Because the internet is accessible worldwide, internet evangelism can break down geographical, cultural, and language barriers, making it possible to reach people who might never encounter the Gospel in person. Welcome to this week’s topic on The Armor Up Podcast as we continue to Pod-Preach each week to The Glory of God.

				<itunes:summary><![CDATA[The bounce back principle may be an idiom that compares the resilience and quick recovery of a person or situation to that of a rubber ball. This worldly definition may suggest an ability to withstand pressure, adapt, and return to a more ‘normal’ state after being stretched or compressed.

But using the bounce back principle in the spiritual and gospel spoken realm is more confidently known as ‘spiritual resilience’. And today’s episode features the latest edition of Pastor Jeff King’s FRIEND TO FRIEND article within this month’s Southwood’s Magazine with the same title as today’s Armor Up Podcast show. (THE BOUNCE BACK PRINCIPLE) Enjoy! It runs slightly over 30 minutes and of course is free to listen too.

If you like this episode, then please subscribe... It’s ALWAYS FREE to do so, and we welcome you here, and pray that these inspiring messages can help someone out there with a thirst and a hunger for the teachings of the word of God, through the works of this podcast, which we try to make Bible Based, and Christ Centered and brought to you to the GLORY OF GOD!
