Does Mother's day come with mixed feelings?? 

Erica struggled with the idea of even becoming a mom at all. When she finally surrendered to the idea of motherhood, she miscarried her first child. Finally, getting pregnant a second time, she gave birth to a healthy baby... then raised that baby in isolation during a year of pandemic lockdown. 

::::WHEW:::: 

So, for her, Mother's Day comes with many emotions and a story of her own trial and triumph. 

She is sharing her vulnerable story on the podcast today and how an eternal mindset changed her perspective of her earthly circumstances. We hope it blesses you this Mother's day and helps you become aware that God is in the midst of every moment in your story. 

He is using it all for His Glory and your good. 

Do you find yourself checking off your, “I’m a good Christian” boxes, like: I went to church, I went to bible study, and I prayed before dinner; but feel like you’re lacking something? 

Spiritual growth happens in the everyday moments, allowing the Holy Spirit to work in and through us. God uses our messy, unpolished, everyday lives for His glory. 

Living for Eternity, in our Until, is poetically described by King Solomon in Ecclesiastes, dive in with Tori Mae Hein and discover what God has for you.

We wrap up the book of 1 Corinthians on this episode! What a JOY it has been to go through the book of 1 Corinthians with all of you. 

I'm so expectant for what God is going to do in the next season. Things will sound a bit different here on the podcast next season. I can't wait. 

Thank you for being along for the journey with us on this podcast. I'm so honored and blessed to share this space with you. 

You are loved. For Eternity & Until.

We are almost to the end of 1 Corinthians! Can you believe it? It's been a while ride. God has taught me so much and I hope He is teaching you too. 

This chapter made me want to stand up on my chair and shout with joy! What better way to wrap up the message of this book than recounting the simple gospel? 

No matter where you are or what you are  going through, the Gospel is your HOPE! 

If Jesus is not alive, we are not alive in Him. 
If Jesus isn't alive then there is no Gospel. 

But the good news is that He is ALIVE! 
Because of this we have victory and death no longer has the final say. 

I hope this episode blesses you!

Hey friends! I posted this recording from last month late - I realize it is NOT the week before Christmas! But, instead of further delaying posting this - I went ahead and posted it anyways!
its still good stuff, even if it's late to the punch!

This episode is covering 1 Corinthians 14!

Paul highlights two gifts of the spirit - Speaking in Tongues and Prophecy - to practically share how these gifts within the church.

God is not a God of confusion but a God of peace!

Considering the character of love mentioned in Chapter 13, these are some practical ways to use these gifts to glorify God and honor people. 

I hope this blesses you and gives you clarity!

How do we use the gifts God has given to us to glorify Him?
The answer is Love.
The greatest gift of them all.
God Himself!

The Beetles sang,  "All you need is love" but what is LOVE? How is Love defined? What are Love's characteristics?

Paul penned some of the most beautiful and famous words in all of scripture characterizing love....

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."  (1 Corinthians 13: 4-7)

This is the character of God. We are the body of Christ. This way of love is the most excellent way and the fulfillment of our God-given purpose of glorifying God.

How is this possible? Because God lives in us. We can't do anything of worth or value apart from Him.

Are you fully surrendered to the sovereign presence of the love of God?

I John 4:7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

What is the remedy for division? It's the unity of the life lived in God's spirit! 
What's the cure for moral failure and sin? The unfailing love of God! 
What is the solution for our disfunction and chaos? Empowerment and practice of Spiritual Gifts in their divine order. 

 This week on the podcast we are reading through Chapter 12 of 1 Corinthians and it's all about SPIRITUAL GIFTS! 

It's like taking a big deep breath after after the first 11 chapters of correction in 1 Corinthians. 

 Now that what we need to lay down, what will we pick up in order to move forward? 
Gift!!! That's what! How exciting! 

You, friend have an essential place in the body of Christ. 
God has given you gifts to use for the common good. 
Do you know what they are? 
Do you know the place you're meant to fill? 
Hopefully this short time we share together will give you more clarity. 

Earnestly desire every single gift He gives. 
He only gives us really good ones. 

Love you all, 
Tori 

When you first read a chapter like this about head coverings, it's hard to understand how this is relevant to us today. 

But, the authority of God never changes. He has given us instruction for order in the home and in the church. 

Every relationship in our lives require submission. Jesus gives us an excellent example to follow.  Just as He submitted himself to His Father, we submit to Him and to one another. 

It always comes back the the example God gave in His relationship with God and with us. 

Pull out your Bible and open it up to 1 Corinthians 11 and let's dive in together!
