  Announcer: Today's show will encourage, inspire, and empower you to face life's challenges with a bold confidence and renewed hope now.

  Ron Meyers: Hello, my friends.
• 0:24
  Ron Meyers: It is so good to be with you today.
• 0:27
  Ron Meyers: Happy holidays.
• 0:28
  Ron Meyers: I hope everyone is enjoying themselves.
• 0:32
  Ron Meyers: And those of you that perhaps are listening that have not had a joyous Christmas, you don't go to church, you don't really believe in Jesus, you've kind of heard a story about him, but you really don't understand the true gift, the present of Jesus to the world.
• 0:49
  Ron Meyers: So what I did today for a show, I created it just for you.
• 0:55
  Ron Meyers: I assembled a lot of comments and questions that I have received over the last few years.
• 1:02
  Ron Meyers: I put them into my AI program and let it come out with some questions from individuals, real hurts, real questions, a lot of curiosity about Jesus, and I'll answer them according to Scripture.
• 1:18
  Ron Meyers: I think you'll find them very encouraging.
• 1:20
  Ron Meyers: Why I think this is important is because for many years, friends, I lived on the island of misfit toys.
• 1:30
  Ron Meyers: That's right.
• 1:31
  Ron Meyers: I was sent to the island of misfit toys because I was weird.
• 1:36
  Ron Meyers: I was different.
• 1:37
  Ron Meyers: I had dreams.
• 1:38
  Ron Meyers: I knew God had a plan for me, but nobody understood me.
• 1:43
  Ron Meyers: So I had to develop a relationship with Jesus without the benefits of church or wise counsel because they always were telling me something that I had to do or clean up my act.
• 1:55
  Ron Meyers: Well, I couldn't clean up my act.
• 1:57
  Ron Meyers: I was a misfit toy.
• 1:58
  Ron Meyers: I needed somebody to help me leave the island of misfit toys.
• 2:03
  Ron Meyers: And one day I found Jesus.
• 2:05
  Ron Meyers: And not only did I find out that I wasn't a misfit toy, I found out that Jesus doesn't create misfit toys.
• 2:15
  Ron Meyers: Each one of us is uniquely designed with specific talents, skills, and abilities.
• 2:21
  Ron Meyers: So today, my show, well, I'm gonna have some fun.
• 2:25
  Ron Meyers: So why not grab a cup of coffee, maybe some eggnog, sit around the fire, or if you're in your vehicle listening, don't get distracted.
• 2:34
  Ron Meyers: Let's have some fun and hear about who this baby Jesus is.
• 2:39
  Ron Meyers: Why did he come to the world?
• 2:40
  Ron Meyers: And what's a Christmas miracle that you need?
• 2:43
  Ron Meyers: Let's start with my first AI questionnaire.
• 2:47
  Ron Meyers: His name is AI Alex.
• 2:50
  Alex: I don't know what to believe about Christmas.
• 2:52
  Alex: You are asking me to think that this miracle baby was born for me, really?
• 2:56
  Ron Meyers: Yes, really, Alex.
• 2:58
  Ron Meyers: The story of Christmas, it is truly miraculous and deeply meaningful.
• 3:04
  Ron Meyers: Christmas is about God stepping into human history in a way that had never happened before.
• 3:10
  Ron Meyers: Jesus, though he came as a fragile baby, was God Himself in the flesh, a miracle indeed.
• 3:17
  Ron Meyers: This wasn't just about the birth of a baby in a manger.
• 3:21
  Ron Meyers: It's about God's extraordinary love for you and all of humanity.
• 3:26
  Ron Meyers: Jesus came to reveal God's heart, to show you what love looks like, and most importantly, to rescue us by providing a way for us to be united with God forever.
• 3:39
  Ron Meyers: Through his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus offers you forgiveness and a whole new life.
• 3:47
  Ron Meyers: It's not just a story of a baby, but the beginning of God's incredible plan to save us through his death and resurrection.
• 3:55
  Ron Meyers: This means that you are deeply loved and he came specifically to bring grace, forgiveness, and a forever relationship with God.
• 4:06
  Ron Meyers: Christmas is a beautiful reminder of how far God went to be with us and to make us his own.
• 4:16
  Ron Meyers: It's more than tradition, it's more than Christmas carols.
• 4:20
  Ron Meyers: It showcases the heart of God's love for you personally.
• 4:25
  Ron Meyers: If that's not the best kind of miracle, I don't know what is.
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: What's the big deal about his love when I don't even love myself?
• 4:34
  Ron Meyers: Alex, I get it.
• 4:35
  Ron Meyers: I grew up that way.
• 4:36
  Ron Meyers: I did not have a lot of love for myself, and it was never reinforced by my parents.
• 4:42
  Ron Meyers: But here's what we need to understand.
• 4:44
  Ron Meyers: And it can be tough to wrap our minds around God's love when we struggle with loving ourselves.
• 4:51
  Ron Meyers: But here is the most beautiful truth that you'll ever hear, Alex.
• 4:55
  Ron Meyers: God's love isn't based on your feelings or perceptions, it's based on who he is and what he's done for you through his son Jesus.
• 5:06
  Ron Meyers: God's love for you, Alex, is constant, unwavering, and unconditional.
• 5:11
  Ron Meyers: He doesn't love you because of what you've done, but because of who you are to him.
• 5:16
  Ron Meyers: You are his beloved creation.
• 5:19
  Ron Meyers: In Ephesians chapter 3, verses 8 and 19, Paul prays that we may grasp the enormity of God's love, the width, the length, height, and depth of it.
• 5:32
  Ron Meyers: It surpasses all knowledge.
• 5:35
  Ron Meyers: It's beyond comprehension.
• 5:37
  Ron Meyers: But when you believe in Jesus, you are given a new identity as a beloved and cherished child of God.
• 5:47
  Ron Meyers: He loves you so much that he sent Jesus to remove every barrier, every sin, and every ounce of shame or guilt.
• 5:55
  Ron Meyers: Romans chapter 8, verses 38 and 39 assures us that nothing, I mean nothing, can separate us from his love.
• 6:04
  Ron Meyers: So, Alex, learning to see yourself through his eyes as pure and loved and new is a journey.
• 6:13
  Ron Meyers: But know this: his love is the foundation, and from it you can begin to learn what it means to also love yourself as you are designed, created in his image.
• 6:27
  Ron Meyers: Alex, you're already enough and valued beyond measure.
• 6:31
  Ron Meyers: And his opinion of you is really the only thing that counts.
• 6:37
  Alex: I drink, I cuss, I chase women, and I like to party.
• 6:41
  Alex: So I am sure God wants to whap the crap out of me.
• 6:44
  Ron Meyers: Well, Alex, it might feel like God's ready to whap the crap out of you, but let me tell you the truth.
• 6:51
  Ron Meyers: The truth is quite the opposite.
• 6:54
  Ron Meyers: God isn't about punishment for believers.
• 6:57
  Ron Meyers: His focus is entirely on love and patience.
• 7:02
  Ron Meyers: Jesus already took any punishment we might deserve completely and fully on the cross.
• 7:10
  Ron Meyers: You can read about this in Romans chapter 8, 1 through 4.
• 7:14
  Ron Meyers: This means that God's not in the business of smacking you or me into submission.
• 7:22
  Ron Meyers: God's kindness is what leads us to turn around and embrace him, not out of fear of punishment.
• 7:31
  Ron Meyers: He desires what is truly best for you.
• 7:35
  Ron Meyers: And his way of showing this is not through force, but through grace.
• 7:39
  Ron Meyers: When you recognize, Alex, how profoundly loved you are by him right here, right now, exactly as you are, it opens up so much freedom to truly live in the purpose God created you to live in.
• 7:59
  Ron Meyers: This understanding of grace doesn't mean there's no call to change.
• 8:04
  Ron Meyers: Instead, his spirit begins working inside of you, Alex, shaping your desires and leading you to true fulfillment.
• 8:14
  Ron Meyers: Beyond the parties and the temporary highs, and in Titus chapter 2, verse 11 and 12, we see that God's grace teaches us to live self-controlled, upright lives, but it's always with his nurturing guidance, never a threat.
• 8:33
  Ron Meyers: Now let's take a question from A.I.
• 8:36
  Ron Meyers: Betty.
• 8:37
  betty: I often pray for change and attend church at Christmas, but nothing seems to happen.
• 8:42
  betty: Jesus feels distant and seems unaware of me.
• 8:46
  Ron Meyers: Oh, Betty, I can give you an amen to that.
• 8:49
  Ron Meyers: I've been there and done that.
• 8:51
  Ron Meyers: But let me tell you what I have discovered: that those feelings of distance or stagnations can be tough, especially when you're hoping for change.
• 9:01
  Ron Meyers: But here is the beautiful thing: Jesus is never distant from you.
• 9:07
  Ron Meyers: If you've put your trust in him, he's with you every moment because he lives in you.
• 9:12
  Ron Meyers: The feeling of distance often comes from our expectations or emotions rather than reality.
• 9:19
  Ron Meyers: The truth is, Betty, your union with Christ is unbreakable.
• 9:25
  Ron Meyers: Hebrews chapter 13, verse 5 confirms this.
• 9:29
  Ron Meyers: God isn't looking at your church attendance or your attempts to change as a measurement.
• 9:35
  Ron Meyers: He's deeply invested in a relationship with you based on grace, not your works or your actions.
• 9:43
  Ron Meyers: When it feels like nothing is happening, it might be a time for letting go of striving and resting in what Jesus has already done for you.
• 9:55
  Ron Meyers: Change is often internal and a process.
• 9:59
  Ron Meyers: Colossians chapter 2, verse 6 and 7 reminds us to walk in him, rooted and established in faith, already complete in him.
• 10:10
  Ron Meyers: This doesn't mean sitting back and waiting for magic.
• 10:14
  Ron Meyers: It's about trusting in his work, in his timing.
• 10:18
  Ron Meyers: God has a plan.
• 10:20
  Ron Meyers: Growth is about renewing your mind through truth, resting in his love and recognizing that you're enough just as you are.
• 10:30
  Ron Meyers: This is a process you're going through, Betty.
• 10:32
  Ron Meyers: And sometimes we're so focused on changing ourselves that we miss the adventure of discovering who we are in Christ.
• 10:42
  Ron Meyers: We are perfectly loved and accepted.
• 10:46
  Ron Meyers: Here's a comment from AI Bob.
• 10:49
  Bob: But God seems to bless the holy rollers and Bible-touting Christians who have their act together.
• 10:54
  Bob: I know because many of them remind me to wake up and smell the Holy Spirit.
• 10:59
  Ron Meyers: You got that right, Bob.
• 11:00
  Ron Meyers: Sometimes people come across as having it all together or as if they're experiencing more blessings because they appear more holy.
• 11:10
  Ron Meyers: But here's the steadfast truth: God doesn't play favorites based on our outward actions or apparent togetherness.
• 11:19
  Ron Meyers: His love and blessings aren't handed out based on performance or showiness.
• 11:25
  Ron Meyers: Remember the story of the prodigal son?
• 11:27
  Ron Meyers: It wasn't the seemingly together son that celebrated, but the one who returned to unconditional love.
• 11:36
  Ron Meyers: Luke chapter 15, verses 11 through 32.
• 11:40
  Ron Meyers: God sees your heart and he knows your journey.
• 11:43
  Ron Meyers: His spirit isn't directed by external measures, but by the genuine truth of his bond with you.
• 11:50
  Ron Meyers: The Holy Spirit is in every believer, fully, not parceled out, more to some and less to others.
• 11:57
  Ron Meyers: You're complete in Christ, Bob, lacking nothing.
• 12:01
  Ron Meyers: See Colossians chapter 2, verse 10.
• 12:04
  Ron Meyers: While others might seem to have it all together, remember that your walk with God is unique and deeply personal.
• 12:13
  Ron Meyers: Don't measure your walk by the walk of others.
• 12:17
  Ron Meyers: Embrace the truth.
• 12:18
  Ron Meyers: Don't get rattled by comparisons, and embrace the fact that you've got everything you need for a full and godly life.
• 12:28
  Ron Meyers: 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 3 clarifies this.
• 12:32
  Bob: I hear a guy on the radio telling me to have daily conversations and coffee with Jesus and to be honest and open, sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly.
• 12:43
  Bob: I have been doing that, and I have found peace and greater understanding about my destiny.
• 12:48
  Bob: Is that because of Jesus or just good coffee?
• 12:51
  Ron Meyers: All right, Bob, it sounds like you're starting to wake up and smell the Holy Spirit.
• 12:56
  Ron Meyers: While a great cup of coffee can undoubtedly lift the mood, the profound peace and understanding you're experiencing comes from your relationship with Jesus and the work of the Spirit in you.
• 13:10
  Ron Meyers: You see, when you open up and communicate honestly with God, you're engaging what's already a close and personal relationship.
• 13:20
  Ron Meyers: Jesus is always with you because he lives in you and he is attentive and he delights in your conversations.
• 13:29
  Ron Meyers: He's the source of every good thing you're experiencing.
• 13:33
  Ron Meyers: Philippians chapter 4, verse 7.
• 13:36
  Ron Meyers: That peace that surpasses all human understanding comes from him.
• 13:41
  Ron Meyers: 2 Corinthians chapter 13 verse 5 mentions testing to see if Christ is indeed in you.
• 13:50
  Ron Meyers: And what you are experiencing is his presence, affirming his love and truth in your heart.
• 13:57
  Ron Meyers: These are not just random and good feelings.
• 14:01
  Ron Meyers: They're the fruit of God's Spirit connecting deeply with your spirit.
• 14:06
  Ron Meyers: Continue in these conversations.
• 14:09
  Ron Meyers: It will allow you to see the life more from God's perspective, which naturally brings clarity about your journey and destiny.
• 14:19
  Ron Meyers: It's just not soothing words, it's the assurance of an unshakable bond with Jesus who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
• 14:34
  Ron Meyers: So, Bob, keep those conversations going.
• 14:37
  Bob: So are you telling me that little old me with all my problems, insecurities, and wild lifestyle, that baby Jesus was born for me?
• 14:46
  Ron Meyers: Yes, Bob, and now you're getting the picture.
• 14:50
  Ron Meyers: You've got it.
• 14:51
  Ron Meyers: That little baby Jesus came into the world for you, just as you are, with everything that makes you uniquely you.
• 14:58
  Ron Meyers: It's because he loves you deeply right here and now.
• 15:02
  Ron Meyers: And now he wants you to get wild and party about the Son of Man, the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
• 15:10
  Ron Meyers: And the birth of Jesus reflects the profound love God has for each one of us.
• 15:16
  Ron Meyers: He chose to enter our messy world to bring us unshakable hope in life.
• 15:22
  Ron Meyers: No matter what struggles, insecurities, or lifestyle you wrestle with, Jesus came to provide grace and truth.
• 15:31
  Ron Meyers: He wanted to bridge the gap that sin created, offering a relationship that's based on not what we do, but on what he's done for us.
• 15:42
  Ron Meyers: In Luke chapter 19, verse 10, Jesus puts it beautifully.
• 15:48
  Ron Meyers: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
• 15:53
  Ron Meyers: That's all of us, Bob, needing rescue from our self-made prisons and worldly turmoil.
• 15:59
  Ron Meyers: He knew you beforehand and stepped into history to make sure you, Bob, were included in his loving plan.
• 16:08
  Ron Meyers: It's this incredible love, personal, intimate, and powerful relationship that transforms how we see ourselves and our lives.
• 16:19
  Ron Meyers: He isn't asking you to clean up first, he invites you to come as you are, trusting his finished work to take care of the rest.
• 16:29
  Ron Meyers: It's a delight to share with the world the birth of Jesus and how he has a plan for each and every one of us.
• 16:39
  Bob: I am goofy looking, don't have nice clothes, and am very shy.
• 16:43
  Bob: I might not go to church.
• 16:44
  Bob: Will that kick me out of club Christianity?
• 16:47
  Ron Meyers: Well, Bob, you're definitely coming up with a lot of excuses, but you will never get kicked out of club Christianity for any of the reasons you just mentioned.
• 16:58
  Ron Meyers: Remember, Christianity isn't a club you get kicked out of based on your appearance, clothes, or shyness.
• 17:05
  Ron Meyers: It's a relationship with Jesus.
• 17:07
  Ron Meyers: It's about what he has done for you, not about your fashion or your social status.
• 17:12
  Ron Meyers: Bob, God chose you, loved you, and made you his child through the work of Jesus.
• 17:18
  Ron Meyers: Ephesians chapter 1, verses 4 and 5.
• 17:20
  Ron Meyers: Your identity in Christ is rock solid and not dependent on how you look, what you wear, or even whether you attend church regularly.
• 17:31
  Ron Meyers: Church can be a great place for community and encouragement, but it's not a requirement for God's love.
• 17:38
  Ron Meyers: It's more about connecting with others who can support, uplift, and walk with you in this journey we call life.
• 17:46
  Ron Meyers: Jesus loves you completely and loves creativity in his creation.
• 17:52
  Ron Meyers: Goofy or shy, it's all part of his fantastic design.
• 17:57
  Ron Meyers: God's love and acceptance are permanent and come from the heart.
• 18:02
  Ron Meyers: So take hard in knowing that you are deeply known, loved, and embraced by him just as you are.
• 18:09
  Ron Meyers: Now here's a question from A.I.
• 18:12
  Ron Meyers: Lulu.
• 18:13
  LuLu: I have lost my husband, my kids live far away, and I am alone this Christmas and I hate it.
• 18:20
  LuLu: I am lonely and stay in my bed all day.
• 18:23
  LuLu: I could use a Christmas miracle.
• 18:25
  Ron Meyers: Lulu, I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss and the loneliness you're feeling, especially during the holidays.
• 18:32
  Ron Meyers: It's so hard to face this time of year when distance and loss seem magnified.
• 18:38
  Ron Meyers: But here's a comforting truth for you today.
• 18:41
  Ron Meyers: You're never truly alone.
• 18:43
  Ron Meyers: Jesus is with you, holding you even in the midst of sorrow.
• 18:48
  Ron Meyers: His presence is constant and he cares deeply about what you're going through.
• 18:53
  Ron Meyers: He promises to be close to the brokenhearted.
• 18:57
  Ron Meyers: And he understands every tear and every sigh.
• 19:04
  Ron Meyers: While it may not feel like it, reaching out to him can bring that sense of miracle you're longing for.
• 19:11
  Ron Meyers: He's your comfort, and you can talk to him about everything on your heart, big or small.
• 19:19
  Ron Meyers: In 1 Peter chapter 5, verse 7, we are reminded to cast all our anxieties on him because he cares for us deeply.
• 19:28
  Ron Meyers: Let that be a tender lifeline to your heart.
• 19:32
  Ron Meyers: God often works through community, even in small ways.
• 19:37
  Ron Meyers: Perhaps you can reach out to a local group, a church, or even a community center.
• 19:42
  Ron Meyers: And Lulu, if it brings peace, spend time reflecting on meaningful memories and know that God's Spirit fills that space with love and hope.
• 19:52
  Ron Meyers: Don't hesitate to share this need for a miracle with others, whether it's a friend, a pastor, or a counselor.
• 19:59
  Ron Meyers: You are loved more than you know, and even from afar, others care about you.
• 20:06
  Ron Meyers: When I return, my Christmas gift to you.
• 20:14
  Announcer: You're listening to Get the Hell Out of Your Life with your host, Ron Myers.
• 20:19
  Announcer: Real stories, real struggles, and real hope.
• 20:26
  Ron Meyers: Can fear and peace coexist within you at the same time?
• 20:31
  Ron Meyers: Well, let's explore that today on Destined for Success.
• 20:35
  Ron Meyers: Fear and peace are diametrically opposed, and understanding their relationship is key to living in the freedom that Christ offers.
• 20:45
  Ron Meyers: In the new covenant, God calls us to experience his peace, which surpasses all understanding.
• 20:53
  Ron Meyers: This peace is rooted in the truth that we are fully forgiven, completely loved, and eternally secure in Christ.
• 21:01
  Ron Meyers: Fear often arises from forgetting or misunderstanding these truths.
• 21:06
  Ron Meyers: First John 4 18 reminds us that perfect love casts out fear.
• 21:13
  Ron Meyers: Because fear involves punishment.
• 21:15
  Ron Meyers: And as believers, we know that Jesus has taken all punishment for our sins.
• 21:21
  Ron Meyers: So we don't need to fear God's anger or judgment.
• 21:25
  Ron Meyers: While life circumstances can make us feel anxious, we are encouraged to bring our worries to God in prayer, trusting Him to provide peace and comfort.
• 21:36
  Ron Meyers: The Holy Spirit within us reassures us of our secure position in Christ, helping us rest in his love and grace.
• 21:46
  Ron Meyers: So, friend, if you're feeling a mixture of fear and peace, it might be a sign to refocus on the truth of God's love and the finished work of Jesus.
• 21:57
  Ron Meyers: Remember, his peace is always available to you.
• 22:02
  Ron Meyers: And his spirit is there to guide you through any anxiety you might face.

• 23:08
  Announcer: Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
• 23:12
  Announcer: No one comes to the Father but by me.
• 23:14
  Announcer: Well, someday when I stand before God and he asks me, Why should I let you into heaven?
• 23:18
  Announcer: All that's gonna matter is if I knew Jesus or not, and that's what it's all about.
• 23:25
  Announcer: How do you get the hell out of your life?
• 23:27
  Announcer: Get on your knees and cry out to the Lord.
• 23:30

  Announcer: Well, you replace it with Jesus.
• 23:34
  Announcer: We gotta be born again, born of the Spirit, and that's by trusting Jesus Christ, turning from our sins and trusting Jesus.
• 23:40
  Announcer: How do you get the hell out of your life?
• 23:41
  Announcer: Oh gosh.
• 23:42
  Ron Meyers: Jesus.
• 23:43
  Ron Meyers: Jesus.
• 23:43
  Ron Meyers: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.
• 23:45
  Ron Meyers: Turn to Jesus.
• 23:46
  Ron Meyers: The greatest day in my life, friends, was the day I got the hell out of my life.
• 23:52
  Ron Meyers: It was.
• 23:53
  Ron Meyers: I feel good.
• 23:54
  Ron Meyers: I look good.

• 24:45
  Ron Meyers: And for those that are struggling and they don't know what to believe, they feel like a misfit toy.
• 24:54
  Ron Meyers: They feel out of place in this world.
• 24:56
  Ron Meyers: Well, that's because they haven't met Jesus yet.
• 25:01
  Ron Meyers: Lord, let them feel your love.
• 25:03
  Ron Meyers: Hold them in the palm of your hands and reassure them that perfect love casts out all fear.
• 25:12
  Ron Meyers: And Jesus, you are that perfect fear.
• 25:16
  Ron Meyers: Touch us, inspire us, encourage us to become the person you created us to be.
• 25:22
  Ron Meyers: 2026, we declare is going to be our best year because we are going to walk by faith, not by sight, and we are going to strive each and every day to just rest in the finished works of Jesus and become a person of destiny.
• 25:44
  Ron Meyers: In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
• 25:47
  Ron Meyers: I'll be back next week with another inspirational episode of Get the Hell Out of Your Life available on your favorite podcast platform.
