All through the Bible, we've read that He was the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob...but is He the God of me?" That very weighty question is exactly what I found myself wondering some time back. "Who is God to me?" I knew I had some wrong stereotypes...maybe handed down through well-meaning, even Godly ancestors.

But who is God to me?? To YOU??

In this episode, Pastor Jerry and Tabatha discuss this question to further understand the different facets of God the Father. Listen in to see what characteristics of God that Tabatha and Jerry both lean on lately, and discover some that may help you through your days as well!

In this episode, we dive deep into the concepts of sin and doubt—defining sin and exploring doubt as a weight that can hold us back spiritually. While doubt isn’t inherently sinful, it can disrupt our faith when we let hesitation overtake belief. With insights from scripture, commentary, and personal reflections, we examine how making a firm decision to have faith can free us from wavering and lead us into a more fulfilling relationship with God. Tune in for a thought-provoking look at the journey from doubt to trust.

In this episode, Tabatha and Pastor Jerry team up to discuss the mindset of those who often perceive themselves as victims, and how continually holding onto hurt can impede personal growth and healing. Drawing from their own experiences and biblical wisdom, she emphasizes the importance of acknowledging pain, giving oneself time to grieve, and then intentionally moving forward. They share insights from Jerry’s own cycling experience when he did a 300-mile bike ride for missions as well as physical therapy, explaining that just as physical injuries need movement to heal, emotional wounds require courage to release the past and avoid becoming immobilized by fear. Together, they encourage listeners to lean on faith and resilience, using the strength from Psalm 91 as a reminder that God provides shelter and healing. Ultimately, the key message is to learn from life’s pains and move forward, allowing God’s guidance to lead to lasting recovery.

Listen in with us as Tabatha shares her personal journey of struggling with faith and discovering the importance of community in spiritual battles. Sven thought she felt overwhelmed by self-doubt and reluctant to reach out for support…needing help yet fearing judgment, she ultimate finds the courage (or was it desperation?) to confide in a friend. This act of vulnerability led to a profound moment of relief and strength as her friend and her husband offered support, prayed for her, and connected her with others facing similar challenges. This marked a turning point, as she began to feel the strength of a shared faith journey.

Through the lens of the “Armor of God” concept, particularly the shield of faith, the episode highlights the power of community in helping individuals stand firm in their beliefs during difficult times. One of the most effective tactics of our enemy is making people feel isolated, but by reaching out and leaning on the faith of others, we can find resilience and hope!

In our faith walk, we tend to think we have to do everything perfectly and never have doubts or questions in order to be considered a “good” Christian.  But have you ever wondered what God expects of us? The good thing is He is the one who made us - and he knows what we’re made of!  What does that mean for us? What does that mean for our relationship with God? Listen in to Pastor Jerry & Tabatha’s conversation to find out!

This week, Tabatha interviews long-time friend and co-laborer in the Kingdom, Candice Deen, as she recounts how her faith (and some doubts) played a part in her and her husband’s walk with God.  Candice tearfully shares some special insights she was able to learn from her hard times, and we pray that this episode reminds you that no matter what choices you may have made, or are living out now, how God feels about you will never change - no matter what your faith level is at that time.

In this episode, we dive into a deeply personal and transformative journey about finding identity beyond just the labels we carry. Our host recounts a sweet yet eye-opening moment with a young child from her church, who recognized her husband as the pastor but didn’t realize who she was, despite her being there every week. This moment sparks a reflection on how, over the years, she’s often been defined by her roles—Pastor’s wife, mom, office manager, friend—leaving her wondering if anyone truly knows her outside of these titles.

Through a chance encounter at a conference, she finds herself genuinely seen for the first time in a long while, not as someone’s wife or mother but simply as herself. This revelation leads her to a profound realization about God’s nature as “El Roi,” the God who sees. In this touching episode, we explore how God truly knows and cares for each of us, even when we feel overlooked and unseen.
