Who would have thought a couch could teach you so much. In my case I’ve leaned some valuable lessons and of course what better place to share them than this podcast! Just when we started basking in our couches beauty she quickly showed us her foundation was junk! Kind of of like our lives when we build it on anything other than the rock.

After our trip to Bolt Farms in Tennessee, I noticed some things in myself and others along the way. Three standouts were rest, reflect and reconnect. I look forward to sharing our trip and those God moments with you and hopefully it will inspire you to see God in your daily lives.

You may have noticed our post last week, on this weeks podcast we will share more on some changes coming to the Diving into Deeper Waters Podcast. No worries we aren’t going anywhere! Just allowing space for change and hoping what we have learned will encourage you as you may be in a season of change as well.

This year I have had a new desire to really immerse myself into Jesus’ journey to the cross, starting with Jesus being in the Garden of Gethsemane. I can’t wait to share what has really transformed my view of Good Friday and invite you to be beckoned as well by the crucifixion with the hopes of it drawing you to respond.

We head back into Joshua 7 and look at it from a different perspective. Last podcast we looked at Joshua’s defeat and tantrum, now we will uncover Achan’s sin and discover how it affected not only him but the entire Israelite army.

Hopefully after last weeks podcast you came out from under the basket and started shining. Maybe it’s gone great or maybe not so much. What happens when we go for it but fail? We often retreat back to manageable proportions! Joshua from the Bible did the same thing so don’t think your alone in that. Let’s dive deep into his story and see what we can learn.

Who do we think we are? A question many of us have asked ourselves and one that many people in the Bible asked themselves as well. I read a line taken from Nelson Mandela’s inaugural speech that said, ”Actually, Who are you not to be? You are a child of God.” Let’s stop dimming ourselves and allow ourselves to fully shine for the glory of God! Permission to shine granted by Jesus himself.

What on earth is Lectio Divina? Well listen and find out, just kidding. Another word for it is divine reading or sacred reading. I recently embarked on the journey of putting this spiritual practice in place and I want to share my journey with you in the hopes it inspires you to take the journey as well. It requires going deep but we are used to that so let’s go!

This podcast comes with a warning…. Lots of tears shed as I dive into the last few weeks of walking a long road of my moms health taking a turn. You may not be facing losing someone but maybe you feel like your losing your grip and about to plummet into the abyss. If so, join me with a box of Kleenex and let’s talk about how we can let go and know God is holding onto us even when we don’t feel like we can hold on.

Do you ever hear a name and have a reaction to it? I recently saw the name Tabitha in the Bible and I had a not so good reaction. I decided I might be missing something by not diving into her story. So I did and I can’t wait to share about a women who we should take notice of and become like.
