BE[different] Podcast

On today's episode, we talk about miracles. This is one topic that is probably more real than most of us want to believe or admit. For some, things are difficult. Maybe it’s your marriage. Maybe it’s a loss of a loved one. Maybe it’s a dark secret you’ve lived with for most of your life or an addiction that just won’t stop attacking you. For many, you desperately need a miracle.

We talk through some of the miracles that Jesus performed. We are going to have a real conversation in our living room as we read these miracles that happened thousands of years ago to see if we can learn anything from them, be inspired by them, and to gain some hope from them.

Regardless of where you are at on your spiritual journey, our prayer is that you can see yourself in our conversation today. We want to encourage you and challenge you exactly where you are and to urge you on to your next step.

John 20:31 - Foundation verse for this series

We discussed two of the eight miracles in John during this week's episode.
1. Jesus turned water into wine - John 2:1-11
2. Jesus heals an official's son - John 4:43-54

On today's episode, we talk about the rush of back to school and all that comes with this season. When time seems to speed up and life moves at record speeds, we can still lead our kids with a routine that builds trust and comfort.

On today's episode, we talk about the importance of celebrating milestones within your story. It's easy to get caught up in the the next big thing and always looking ahead. However, it's important that we look back to celebrate victories along the way. When we do this, we can see how God has worked in the past and we can be encouraged that he will work again in the present and in the future.

On today's episode, we kick off Season 4 talking about a recent storm that we had to battle. Life seems to come crashing down all at once but it's how we respond to the trials that can help us get through whatever we are facing. There are times in life that you can sense the danger ahead of you, sense the danger chasing you down, and wonder if there is a safe place to take cover. Take a listen to hear about our storm and how we fought through the battle with the help of others.

On today's episode, we continue our series titled "It's Not What You Think". This week we talk about your past. We all have a past. Things that happened to us, things that we did, or things that we did to others that can hold us back. Rather than let our past define us, we can use the past to motivate us to make a change. In order to look forward to the future, we can reflect on the past to not make the same mistakes.

On today's episode, we continue our series titled "It's Not What You Think". This week we talk about giving and living with open hands of generosity. Often times we get it wrong. We think or believe that the church just wants our money. That is anything but the truth. God doesn't want your money, he wants your heart. When we begin to live with open hands of generosity, invest in the local church, and experience real change within our hearts, we can give with faith which turns into giving faithfully.

On today's episode, we continue our series titled "It's Not What You Think". This week we talk about the impact of the local church. The church is more than just four walls and a building. The church is the group of people inside the building, gathering together, and passionately following Jesus. This week builds off of last week's episode, "It's Not What You Think: Jesus". The church can be a place of healing and purpose for you. You can find authentic friendships with people who truly care for you and care about you. Many of us have been burned by the church but we hope that this episode will encourage you to give church another chance.

On today's episode, we begin a new series titled "It's Not What You Think". This week we talk about why following Jesus changes everything. The name brings different emotions for different people. For some, the name Jesus brings comfort and peace. But for many, the name Jesus brings questions and hesitation. Our desire is that the name of Jesus stirs something deep within you and a desire to learn more about him. He is waiting for you to turn to him with every breath, every thought, and every action.

On today's episode, we talk roles within a marriage. When roles are defined, it can often times form a wedge in your relationship. Should the wife always do the laundry and the husband always mow the yard? The answer is no. You need to do things together, intertwined, and without roles set in stone. Take a listen to hear how to avoid this within your marriage so you are on the same page when it comes to tasks within your marriage.
