Belong & Become

Are you chasing blessings, constantly looking to the future or the "next best thing," or are you slowing down enough to enjoy the blessings you have now?

In this episode, we jump into Ecclesiastes 6, a chapter all about the troubles that come with dissatisfaction.

In this chapter, we’re reminded that a person can have wealth, possessions, success, and everything they could ever want, but yet still struggle to enjoy what they have. Because, what’s the point of having it all if you never take the time to appreciate it?

Sometimes we're so focused on the next blessing, the next season, or the next thing we’re praying for that we forget to enjoy what God has already placed in front of us. Maybe the blessing isn't just in having more, but in learning to be content with what we already have.

Join us for this episode as we unpack Ecclesiastes 6 and ask ourselves: Are we actually enjoying the blessings God has given us?

Do you struggle with trusting that God knows the path for your life? Do you believe that He is an intentional and trustworthy Father?

This episode, we take a look back into the Old Testament in Exodus 13:17-22 "Crossing the Sea." It's our first look at the Israelites' exodus from Pharaoh's rule in Egypt, and believe it or not, there's a lot that we can learn! God knows our pace and path far better than we do - We may be tempted to take the "shortcut" of life or to look back on the past that He delivered us from, but His call for us is to trust and obey. Only He knows what lies ahead for generations to come.

Join us for an episode on OT history, real-life application, personal stories, and self-reflection!

What Does It Really Mean to Win?

What does “winning” actually look like?

In a world that constantly tells us to hustle harder, achieve more, and keep up with everyone else, it can be easy to feel like we’re falling behind. But as Christians, are we called to measure our lives by the world’s definition of success, or by God’s?

In this episode, we talk about the pressure of comparison, social media trends, productivity, rest, and the expectations that can pull us in a million different directions. We wrestle with the question: Is there really such a thing as “winning” in life when everyone’s journey and calling looks different?

Maybe winning isn’t about having the most, doing the most, or looking like you have it all together. Maybe it’s about being faithful to God in the season you’re actually in.

So what does it mean to win, not according to the world, but according to God? Let’s talk about it.

Join us this month as we hear about Zara’s testimony and her journey with God over the years. Learning to live out the walk that you talk is never easy - Hear as we talk about what Zara came face-to-face with in both spiritual growth and the temptation to live a “double-life.”

When did my faith become something REAL? How did God meet me in my anxiety? How has God challenged me to grow? What is married life like? And more!

Faith isn’t a compilation of fragmented moving parts, it’s a harmony of both belief AND action coming together as one. Dive into the teachings of James 1-2 with us as we discover what God’s vision for faith is; living life complete in His wholeness instead of split apart and disorientated in the world around us.

Why bother following through on God’s teachings? How is double-mindedness harming my relationship with God? Can I separate faith from works? And so much more!

In this episode, Amy & Zara sit down and talk about Jesus - who He is, what the gospel really means, and how having a relationship with Him can completely change your life. If you feel far from God, unsure, or like you don’t have it all figured out… you are exactly the kind of person Jesus comes close to. You don’t have to clean yourself up first. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to come, and He will transform you!

In this episode, we dive into 2 Corinthians 12: 1-10 (NIV) and unpack Paul’s un-named “thorn in the flesh.” Why would a good God allow something painful to remain? Why doesn’t He always remove the thing that we beg Him to take away?

This episode, Amy & Zara talk about weakness, dependence on God, pride, protection, and the kind of strength that only comes through surrender. If you’ve ever asked God, “Why won’t You fix this?” this conversation is for you.

His grace is sufficient. Even here.

We've all felt it before - the gentle nudge of the Holy Spirit, the heaviness on your spirit - it's PERSONAL CONVICTION. This episode, Amy and Zara get real on what conviction looks like in day-to-day life as a follower of Christ. How do I know if God is convicting me? How can I live this out? How can conviction look different person-to-person? And so much more!

Proverbs 3:11–12

“My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.”
