Just beyond our verse, Romans 8:31, we find a list of things that often times feel like they can separate us from God.  What's on your list? Stress? Anxiety? You name it- it's included in the "N O T H I N G" that can detach you from God and his love for you.

We have been so blessed by our time with Christine Gordon this month, and we hope that you have been as well.  If you'd like to learn more from Chris, go check out At His Feet Studies, for a list of her studies.  We know you won't be disappointed!

We're digging deeper this week! If you've got a Bible handy, pop it open to Romans 8 and join us in our chat about what Paul refers to as "these things".  Chris is bringing the truth today, and we are here for it.

Bonus - she's sharing a little bit more about how and why she wrote her study on Romans with her friend, Hope.  Enjoy!

Meet Christine Gordon. Chris writes Bible studies for At His Feet Studies—including one on the book of Romans. So you better believe that we're excited to pick her brain about this month's verse from Romans. 

Today we get to know Chris' story just a bit. If you're someone who always asks the "why" questions, you'll really relate to our discussion today.  Chris grew up with that question always on the forefront of her mind, and we are so thankful that she did. Her mind is well-trained for thinking and discussing life's big questions. Thankfully though, as Chris reminds us, it's not a WHY that we need, but a WHO—Jesus. And, if he's for us, who can be against us?

Our lives can feel full of things working against us.  Internal things. External things. Things unseen.  We NEED someone to be FOR us! And, good news, that's exactly what this month's verse tells us: God is for us.  He's bigger than every  hardship or worry.  Though we are unfaithful, he remains steady.

Thank you for listening and memorizing with us this month. We're so glad you're here!

There could not be any better news to share with you than this: as children of Jesus, we are forgiven! Once and for all. His wounds have healed us! That is true on the days you feel it and on the days you don't.

If you've ever wondered how to become a Christian, Pastor Curtis gives us the low down on what that looks like. It's both simple and profound. We hope you enjoy this final interview with Curtis Gilbert.  Thanks for listening!

What exactly is Good Friday? Why do we call it that? If you've ever wondered this, or maybe you've been asked this question, but weren't really sure how to answer it, today's chat is going to help you out!

The day of celebration is coming, but we can't get there without first going through this sacrifice of Good Friday. We can't wait to look at this day through the lens of Easter.

Easter is just around the corner, and we plan to spend the nest few weeks setting our eyes and hearts on the cross.  Our verse holds both hard AND hopeful truth in it and we can't wait to unpack it with you.

We're wrapping up our time with Kristy Cambron  by talking about what it means to "live as children of light". You'll find some practical applications and some personal stories in today's conversation. What does this part of our memory verse mean to you? How are you a child of light? Don't be shy- share! Talking about this topic and holding one another accountable plays right into living this out!
