Detours

In this episode we talk about how the sin we are prone to in life often resurfaces when we are put under pressure. Many times when we are working through sin with God, we often believe we are finished with it and want to put it in the rear view mirror. However... if you've been a Christian for any period of time, you know that isn't the case! Let's talk about how to dust off old tools God has given us and the constant battle we have with sin.

This season we'll be looking at what it's like when God opens and closes doors in our lives. Do you have the spiritual awareness to know what season of life you're in? Do you know how to read God's signs? Let's take a look at what God has done and talk thru His love language of opened and closed doors.

In this episode we discuss the current Detour we are walking through. Deb's mom is in the hospital and it's amazing to see God opening and closing doors on a daily, even hourly basis. How do you trust God at a time like this? How do you prevent yourself from burning out? We discuss it on this week's episode.

Our good friend Ricki is back and shares some of the stories of her children and how God has and is working in their lives. Prodigals weigh heavy on all our hearts as Christians, so how do we navigate the required patience, while extending love and grace as we wait on the Lord. Listen to Ricki's stories and be encouraged when you're weary!

In this episode, our friend Ricki visits the podcast and shares an amazing story of how a 23 & Me test revealed that the man who raised her was not her biological father, and how God was answering her father's prayers behind the scenes.

In part 3 of our Prodigal study, we talk about the older son. He's often the least talked about character from this story, but he's just as important as the younger son. His attitude and heart towards forgiveness, his inheritance, and his younger brother can often resemble us as longtime Christians. Let's dissect this important character!

The heart of the father is the heart of this parable. In this episode, we talk about the attributes of the father and how we're called to be more like him.

Join us for the first of 3 studies on the parable of the prodigal son. In this first episode, we'll be focusing on the journey and detour the younger son takes. Most of us can relate to this story and the entitlement, attitude, and humbling that happens to the younger son, so let's dive in and see how this character and his detour relates to us.

In this episode, we talk about the detour that sin caused in Samson's life. Samson could defeat armies of 1,000 Philistines single-handedly, but he couldn't defeat Delilah. Why? Sin was the rudder in his life and it took him to places he never should've been. Let's unpack this well known story and look at all the detours Samson took.

In this episode, we look at the infamous story of Jonah and his refusal to go to Nineveh. The book is often rejected by skeptics as a factual story from history, so we talk about the history, archeological evidence, and of course the story itself to unpack all the detours Jonah took along the way.
