Some people love to read, others have a love for music and there are us who are avid podcast listeners. And of course, some love all three. But for the sake of this post, I will focus on six Christian podcasts that bring much value to my life.
We have to guard our hearts and that starts with being mindful of what we are listening to, watching, and reading. Listen to things that will increase your life, not decrease. Add value and not steal joy. Motivate and build your faith rather than feed your mind fear and doubt.
Then he said to them, ”Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.
Mark 4:24
The podcasts I recommend do not go in any order of importance from high to low as each adds something different to my life.
Believe for Bigger. (Faith Transformation)
Life Church. (Christian Living Application)
Blessed and Bossed Up. (Faith and Business)
Morning with The Masters. (Daily Devotion)
Residual Earners. (Personal Growth)
Encounter Podcast. (Spiritual Growth)
Note: This is not affiliate marketing and I do not receive any commissions on these recommendations. These are only personal recommendations of mine that I enjoy listening to.
1. Believe For Bigger
‘‘If you can?’, said Jesus. ‘Everything is possible for the one who believes.” – Mark 9:23
The Creator of this blog is Christina Jolly. She is a Christian life coach and an amazing and motivating woman of God. In every episode, she speaks truth and life in you. She helps you do exactly what her podcast name says, ”believe for bigger” and her words help shift your mindset to know your identity in Christ. Once you know your identity in Christ, you start speaking, behaving, and living differently.
Shifting your mindset to believe for bigger requires you to renew your mind by reading the word of God continually and walking in the promises that He has a plan for you, that He will never leave you, that all things are possible with Him, that He will give you everything you need, and when you need help, He has sent you a helper, who is the Holy Spirit.
Each episode of this podcast is total fire and will help you believe and start living out that faith daily. That is what I call, transforming faith. It helps you to move forward and receive what He has for you.

2. Life Church
”You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds, and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” – Ephesians 4: 22-24
Every Sunday, the senior pastor at Life Church, Craig Groeschel’s, sermons are made available on Life Church’s podcast. Pastor Craig Groeschel doesn’t just preach at you, he teaches you. He helps you and teaches you how to do life with Jesus.
Pastor Groeschel will help you apply God’s word to your everyday life, from finances, children, and relationships to fear, doubt, and living a life of trust, faith, and obedience. Those are only a few of the many life topics to which he applies the Gospel.
He is not a leader who only cares about growing his church, but rather a leader who cares about growing The Church which is the body of Christ, and makes it a priority to train more leaders. It is evident in every sermon as he teaches and encourages a life with Christ.

3. Blessed and Bossed Up
”Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.” – Joshua 1:8
If you are a business entrepreneur or an aspiring entrepreneur, this podcast is for you. The creator, Tatum Temia, gives biblical principles and strategies to apply to your life and business. She helps you to build a kingdom business based on the word of God and teaches you how to live and do business without compromising your faith.
I love that she gives business advice and tips, but most importantly, she encourages you to work from a place of faith in God Most High and allow Him to be the CEO of your business. Being a business owner is one thing, but being a servant to God is another and that should always come first.
She truly lives an uncompromising life and encourages her listeners to do the same.
Tune in here to listen.
4. Morning with The Masters
The Greatest Commandment
”Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.” – Matthew 22:37-38
This is a daily morning devotional with Chad and Tori Masters. Spending time with God is a very important thing that we should not skip out on. And starting the day off with God will definitely make for a day worth living. Starting your morning with gratitude, feeding your mind what it needs, and talking with God in prayer should be top priorities for every Christian.
This Christian podcast helps you to do just that. They will read from a daily devotional, discuss it, and end with prayer. The daily devotional that I am currently reading, New Morning Mercies, was recommended by them. This is one of the devotionals they read from and I highly recommend it.
New Morning Mercies is a 365-day devotional that begins with a quote, gives a message, and ends with a scripture to study and meditate on. It has been one of my favorite devotionals besides Joyce Meyer, Closer to God Each Day devotional.
With that being said, even though daily devotionals are great, they should never replace God. They are only a tool to utilize in your daily walk. Sometimes spending time with God is simply opening your Bible and letting Him speak to you. Sitting still in prayer and listening. Communicating with Him like you would with your friends and family.
If you want to read about spending intimate time with Jesus, read my blog, ”Intimacy with Jesus”.
5. Residual Earners
”For I know the plans I have for you’, declares the Lord, ‘Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord, and will bring you back from captivity.
– Jeremiah 29:11-14
I found this podcast recently on TikTok and immediately was drawn to it, so I became a subscriber.
A father and son duo, Presley and Jordan Swagerty join forces on each episode to give you life-changing advice, tips, encouragement, and relatable stories that will push you into greatness. I don’t see how anyone can listen and not get fired up or still have no desire to do better and work on themselves.
The value that you will receive will be for your personal growth, financial literacy, entrepreneurship etc. amongst other things. When you truly believe and do your part, it will pour out in others. You don’t have to stay where you are. You don’t have to live like everyone around you. You are not your mistakes and shame. And you are not your past.
You don’t have to stay in the same place forever spiritually, financially, mentally, or physically. If others want to do that, let them. You are only responsible for yourself and the legacy you leave behind.
And that requires change, growth, and transformation to happen. But it starts with you saying ‘Yes’ to what God has for you to do and most importantly, yielding to the transforming grace that is happening within you.
God has planned better for you. Do you want to walk in those plans?

6. Encounter Podcast
”But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.” – 2 Peter 3:18
David Diga Hernandez is the creator of this podcast. This is the one podcast that will help you tremendously with your spiritual growth. He has taught me about the Holy Spirit in a way I have never learned. The Holy Spirit has used David’s podcast to speak to me, convict me, and teach me new things. David speaks as one from above and you just know that it is the wisdom from the Lord. I highly recommend Encounter Podcast.
You can also find live videos and more on his YouTube page here.
Some of his teachings range from Surrendering to the Holy Spirit Daily, How to Be Used by The Holy Spirit, Avoiding the Trap of Idolatry to other teaching such as The Holy Spirit’s Voice vs. Satan’s Voice. These are only a few from this year.
If you want to feed your mind truth to help you in your spiritual growth, David is highly anointed to teach you. He will often remind you, that you need to have a relationship with God and know the word of God above all else. Why? To understand truth, have discernment, cast out demons, walk in your calling, and heed the Holy Spirit’s promptings.
David speaks truth with grace and love. He is not too hard on people, but he isn’t too soft either.
Again, I highly recommend Encounter Podcast for your spiritual growth journey. His weekly podcasts can be an addition to your daily Bible reading. His knowledge, wisdom, and love for teaching about the Holy Spirit are phenomenal.
