Most of us tend to see our so called faults and failures more than we see the good things about ourselves. Yet first and foremost God sees us as his beloved and beautiful children and calls us to see ourselves in the same way. Listen in to hear more.
We all tend to see Jesus for who we want him to be, which isn’t necessarily wrong or bad, but there are times when God invites us to see Jesus more clearly, love him more dearly, and follow him more nearly.
One of the messages we often hear (implicitly and explicitly) is that we should be amazing, perfect, put together all the time. There are even Bible passages that seem to say this. But is that actually how God expects us to live? Listen in to find out.
Confession is something many of us shy away from because it’s been used hurt us or control us. But scripture offers us a different way to see confession - one steeped in merciful love and leading to joyful community.
When we’re suffering, it’s natural to ask God “why?” Oftentimes, in response to our heartfelt questions, God invites us to see the world and our pain through a different perspective which helps us trust God even if the pain continues.
The Magi are some of the people in the Bible who most pique our imaginations. Thinking about them helps us as we follow the stars God places in our lives.
Throughout our lives, we face difficult moments when we are filled with questions. How do we faithfully, respectfully, lovingly, but also honestly respond to God when those times come? Listen in to hear how Mary handled a moment just like this.
There’s a lot of heartbreak and brokenness in our lives, in this world. God invites us to join him in bringing his peace, healing, joy far as any hurting is found.
Most “important” people don’t act with gentleness, humility, mildness. They milk their glory for all it’s worth. But Jesus - himself God - willingly laid aside his glory mildly and invites us to do the same.
