What's the most comforting thing you've heard this year?

"Target has toilet paper." 

"Football is not cancelled."

"It's all going to be better eventually."

Or maybe it's been none of those? 

For me, the most comforting thing I've been told is "God is with you."

In this episode I'll explain why sitting with this truth, and viewing it from a different perspective, is the best way to prepare your heart to celebrate Christmas. 

Jackie and her husband, Brandon, have a conversation about the process they underwent to ensure they are obedient in their move to North Carolina! 

They walk through the process of personal obedience that Jackie talked about in Episode 57!

Hey there! I'm picking up where I left off with the Process of Obedience. I encourage you to go back and listen to part one and part two for context on where we are today! 

In today's episode I walk through what I find to be a helpful process in trying to make sure I'm obedient to the Lord when decisions come up! 

I ask 5 questions that are all listed here on the resource I've provided. Even if you don't have a big decision coming up, my ultimate goal with this episode is to encourage you to dive deeper into your relationship with Christ!

Psalm 119:116 says "Sustain me according to your word, that I may live; and do not let me be ashamed of my hope." First, I don't think I'll ever get over Psalm 119 having 176 verses. Second, this verse did some really weird things for my heart and mind when I read it. Which is somewhat fitting, giving that our entire reality right now is w-e-i-r-d.

The Holy Spirit used this verse to fully reveal to me that maybe, potentially, it might be that it feels cliche to tell people to hope in Jesus during this time because some of my hope has gotten misplaced along the way. Hopefully in between all the memes and entertainment, we can be a little more intentional about realigning our hope. Oh, and Brandon is on this one. And he's super great. :)

Hey! Welcome back to the Be You with Jackie Moore Podcast. In this episode I want to expound on why obedience is important.

Aside from the fact that God tells us to be obedient, in the scriptures we see obedience providing protection, promoting Christ-likeness, and fostering intimacy with God.

I'll also address what to do when we find ourselves not being obedient. I use a ton of scripture in this episode so I hope you're ready to dive in with me!

Hi, friends! Welcome back - alllll the way back! I am so pumped to start putting out episodes on a consistent basis again because I have a real, legitimate plan and real, legitimate T-I-M-E since we have moved to North Carolina because I’m not teaching anymore. 

But I don’t want to spoil anything! I’m getting ahead of myself. Back to my plan! I am kicking off the new year with a 4-part series called “The Process of Obedience.” Which I am simultaneously pumped about and like mortified about. Because I feel really strongly about not being a hypocrite. So I can’t talk about obedience and not BE obedient during this time. Actually, that makes it sound like I’m just going to be obedient for a month and then go back to doing my own thing doesn’t it?! May I be obedient now and forever more. LOL 

I chose “Process of Obedience” because the ability to be obedient is a dang process. If you feel the same, join me on this four week series!

The highly anticipated Kanye West album has me and Brandon talking! We decided to hop on the mic's and record an episode about Kanye and his transformation. We then transition into talking about the Gospel and how to see the world with a Gospel lens! Enjoy!

Hey people! Have you ever wondered if persecution was real? I mean, we live in America! Christians have it pretty easy, right?

Well I think we can move our understanding of persecution beyond our typical understanding and realize that anyone who follows Christ can (and will) be persecuted.

We are in John 11, 12, & 17 and 1 John today!

So, this is the episode where I say "like"  1,265 times. BUT, if you can get over that, this is probably one of my favorite episodes ever! Like, ever. ;-) My dear friend, Tate, and I talk through what it has meant for God to call us to serve Him through hospitality. 

We talk about what it is like to be on the receiving end of hospitality as well as all the blessing and refinement that comes from being obedient to what the Lord has asked us to do. We also laugh a lot. And, as noted earlier, I say "like" a lot. All the laughing brought out the high school girl in me, apparently. 

No judging, please. Just enjoy. :)

Hey there! On today's episode I interview one of my best friends, Brie Beeks! We were in Florida a few weeks ago to see them (her, her husband, Jalen, and their kids) and I just knew we had to do an interview! 

I hope you enjoy our conversation about staying grounded, friendship, and what God can teach us in the midst of chaos!
