  • Boldly Moving Into A New Decade
    New year, new me, right? Maybe. If you change nothing then nothing will change and wouldn’t we all love to look back in 2030 and see marked growth in our lives? Listen today to hear how Daniel and Heather have reflected and planned for the upcoming year for the last several years of their marriage. It’s clean and simple, but with the time invested we are confident you will see the goodness of the Lord to you in 2020 and through this whole decade.       It is IMPORTANT to cast vision, to dream and expect big, wild things from God!     1. Take an assessment of your life.   Helpful tools for this:   - Cultivate What Matters Power Sheets   - Jennie Allen’s Dream Guide   - Shay Cochrane’s Business Assessment   - Brighton Keller’s Self Assessment     2.Dream BIG! All categories of your life. Throw it all down on paper.     3. Write it all down. Start finding categories for these dreams. Break it into baby steps. Set specific measurable goals.     4. Talk it all out with someone. Friend, roommates, spouse.     5. Keep your goals out. Revisit them at least weekly. Keep asking God about them and just get to work!     What We Are Loving:   Daniel - Football season. All the bowl games and championships.   Heather - My new slippers I scored on Black Friday. I never ever take them off unless I’m going in public.     Don’t forget to *SUBSCRIBE* to this and leave a review if you listened and enjoyed it! Thank you if you have and if you have shared this with a friend.     Hang Out Online!   INSTAGRAM @heathersletters @danielpritchie   FACEBOOK @danielpritchie   TWITTER @danielritchie

  • Unexpected Faces of Love

    We continue our Advent study this week by looking at the many facets that love can take by looking at the life of Jesus. This week is our ultimate challenge to "Be Kind" by looking to the One who is the truest picture of kindness and love.

     

    LOVE HAS MANY FACES   -Love is an emotion and emotions move us to action. (John 3:16) God loves us so much that He SENT HIS SON. Action.     COMPASSION - Jesus has compassion on the people as he traveled and preached and healed (Matthew 9:35-10:1). Because of this he PRAYED for God to send the workers because the harvest was plentiful. Then Jesus CALLED TO HIM the 12 disciples, and GAVE THEM AUTHORITY to heal and cast out demons in His name.     GRIEF - John 11:33-44 Jesus was deeply moved and His spirit was troubled watching Mary cry over Lazarus. He joined her in that grief and CRIED with them. Then he RAISED Lazarus.   ANGER - John 2:13-22 Jesus was angry that the temple was being used for commerce at the time of Passover (perhaps even taking advantages of travelers in unfair pricing) so he FLIPPED TABLES, MADE A WHIP OF CORDS AND SCREAMED at everyone as He DROVE THEM OUT of the temple courts. Then Jesus did it AGAIN in Matthew 21:12.     JUSTICE - The Snake Crusher promised in Genesis is coming to finish the job. How kind, comforting and loving for God to bring evil to an end and bring us all the way Home, Aslan-style. A warrior, a robe dipped in blood, a tattoo down His thigh, and a flaming sword. For His glory, and His great love for us.     HUMILITY - To do an accomplish any of this required the humility of God to be born as a baby, nursed by His mother, raised as a refugee, growing into a poor man who was a tradesman, had no home, rejected and despised by men who died for people who once loved Him but now betrayed Him, naked and alone. He lived and suffered an incredible humble life out of love for us.   What we're lovin   Daniel - Xikar Lighters   Heather - A Hallelujah Christmas by Cloverton

  • War in the Waiting

    Today’s world is defined by instant gratification, doing things fast and getting results. So no wonder for us to wait for anything tries our patience...and when we are waiting on God to move, it can test our faith. Listen as we discuss practical ways to war in a season of waiting faithfully. We draw from men and women in scripture who waited on a promise, or some who just waited for something to change because life was that bad. We pray it helps you to hold to Jesus when it seems like He isn’t moving or hearing you.

    What we are loving:

    Daniel - Chick-fil-A Peppermint Milkshake

    Heather - Rosebud’s Salve

  • 5 Signs of Hope For the Church

    Looking at the Church and the world, there is a lot of heaviness, sin, struggles and it just feels overwhelming at times. But good news, we have hope in Christ despite all of this. In an effort to turn our hearts from all the evil and dysfunction we sadly tend to focus on, today we discuss 5 ways we see hope for the Church! This episode will remind your heart Jesus wins no matter what and Church has not gone to hell in a hand-basket.

    SHOW NOTES

    1. There is global gospel growth!

    2. Cultural Christianity is fading away - this is a good thing!

    3. There is a hunger for community.

    4. Justice is a concern for the majority and no longer just the margins.

    5. Jesus is at the center and we know the end - He wins!

    What we are loving this week:

    Daniel - iFlex

    Heather - Love Beauty and Planet Hand Cream

  • God's Good Gift of Adoption

    Adoption has always been something that we have talked about on a regular basis. Due in part to our faith but also due to the fact that Heather herself was adopted as an infant. This week we dive into the doctrine of adoption and what that means for the church in the practical ways we live out the new family we have in Christ.

      The Theology of Adoption     1) Before adoption was an earthly act, it was a heavenly plan   [Galatians 4:4-5] - "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons."     [John 1:12-13] - "But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God."     2) If view of our adoption, we consider doing the same   [Ephesians 5:1] - "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children."     [James 1:27] - Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.     What I Can Do     - Consider adoption for your family   - Talk about adoption & its gospel roots (there's still a stigma about it)   - Give financially to families and organizations involved in adoption (which includes pregnancy centers)   - Serve and give to families that are adopting in your church (babysitting, meals, items kids need)     What We're Lovin   Daniel - Carhartt Beanie & Carhartt Vest   Heather - Influencer Jen Reed   Follow Us Everywhere: Instagram @heathersletters @danielpritchie Facebook @danielpritchie Twitter @danielritchie www.danielritchie.org #themiddlewithdanielandheather     Have a great week!

  • The Ugly Step Child of the Trinity?

Listen as we discuss the job and the power the Spirit holds according to Scripture. It will breathe fresh encouragement to your heart today as we uncover the work of the Spirit in your life, the gifts He gives to us and our purpose in using them!

    The Holy Spirit-Who He Is

    1 Corinthians 12:3

    Titus 3:5

    1 Peter 1:2

    Romans 8:26

    Luke 12:11-12

    The Holy Spirit-Gifts

About Endure

From the publisher's feed

Following Jesus is like running a race. But it's a marathon, not a sprint. While we prefer to live in the "right now," God is not after quick fixes. His ways and his timetable are better. He wants to make us like Christ, and that takes a lifetime. So how do we run the race with endurance?
