A Love Like This

It’s thanksgiving week over in America, but for us Aussies, there is so much to be thankful for transitioning into the new Christmas season! We talk a lot about gratitude on the show! But this week Abi wanted to come on and encourage you to think about why we need to have gratitude in our lives, what happens we say “no” to an attitude of gratitude, and lastly how we can create more moments to be thankful for in our lives. There is so much to be thankful for when we do life with God.

Today Ben and I spoke about how his little vegetable garden project shapes his outlook on life and faith. We spoke about just how symbolic planting crops can be, the importance of slowing down and using your hands, how growing plants gives you a sense of purpose and lastly how it can help you be more content in life.

But in all seriousness, your life is like a seed that has been planted. Finding your faith is like sprouting. For most of us, we are still growing but once you start to set fruit make sure to put all of that love back into the world. And in case you haven’t decided already, go and grow some veggies.

God knows what he is doing. We know this from Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not harm you plans to give you a hope and a future.” Sometimes it can be difficult for us to live out the good plans God has for us. This week we sit down to talk about the things that may be hindering us from living as best we can both internally and externally. We wanted to encourage you guys with the reminder that God has a good plan for your life despite how you may be feeling in this current moment. We hope that you guys enjoy this conversation.

We were so excited to sit down with our beautiful Texas native Bryn Bittner. We are so inspired by her and her life, how confident she is in Christ and she has so much wisdom around not being afraid to speak up about your faith. In today's episode, we spoke about how Bryn finds ways to talk about her faith in her everyday life and job, how we should never be afraid of what other people think about our faith, and lastly how important it is to think eternally and not materialistically

If there is one thing to take away from this episode it’s to not ever be afraid to share and express your faith, especially to people you feel might judge you. We are called to share the love we have all been blessed with.

We’ve got an extra special episode for you today. It’s a little bit longer than usual, but we wanted to make sure our beautiful Mum Rachael Johnson had as much time to share everything about her incredibly genuine faith.

Our Mum has been on the show before, but since season one she has grown so much in her faith. Today we spoke about what having genuine faith actually means, what it’s like to truly love God, why she became a teacher as well as why she decided to study counselling. Lastly, we spoke about the incredible power of being grateful and acknowledging God winks.

Honestly, nothing makes us feel more blessed then knowing we were raised by literally the most incredible Mum. We hope in just this short amount of time, you gain some of the wisdom we have been blessed with all our lives. We owe our Mum so much who we are and we hope you have taken something away from her guidance.

Heather is a worship leader and a faith blogger and has a whole lot of wisdom. If you are someone who struggles to understand Gods timing and his Devine plan for your life this episode is for you. Don’t bypass the process for perfection, that is the crux of this episode that holds so much truth and power, that we have a wonderful God doing extraordinary things in the here and the now.

Heather reminded us that God is the creator of the entire universe and holds your life in the plan of his hands and offers gifts in the Devine details of our lives.

Enjoy this incredible episode.

Hey folks, the twins wanted to give you an important announcement, never get your wisdom teeth removed. The worst side effect is not being able to record podcast intros.

But seriously, we are so excited to have one of our favourite friends Nandy Martin back on the show, it was actually her birthday a few days ago so this is all the more special.

In this conversation Abi spoke about Nandy’s experience with Maverick City and how amazing it was, Nandy’s song All I Need and how it was such a reminder that when all else fails, or when all things are perfectly good Jesus is all you need. They got to talk about the value of meaningful relationships and about the beauty found in seasons of singleness!

Paige I turned 20 a month ago and we thought it would be cool to just reflect on what lessons we learned during those years of being a teenager. We know we are only 20, and we still have a lot to learn. Though we hope that maybe if you are a teenager listening to this that you would be encouraged to learn from the things that we learnt enjoy guys.

Some of the lessons we touch on are:

• Stop trying to be liked
• Don’t compromise who you are for who people want you to be.
• Friends last for a season a reason or a lifetime
• There is beauty found in uncertainty and change
• God doesn't care about the perfection of our hearts he cares about the direction of our hearts
