What a way to end the book of Philippians!

Paul wrote Philippians from PRISON, and yet he talks more about joy and peace than anything else. 

If he can do that from a cell, we can learn to do it from our laundry piles and carpool lines.

This episode will remind you that peace isn’t found in perfect circumstances…
it’s found in the God who rules them.

Paul had it all together when it came to “godliness.” He talks about knowing the law inside and out, and he was blameless; he had the best reputation in a religious sense. 

Yet, in context Paul tells us he puts all of that behind him for the mission that God had before him- to reach us messy Gentiles with the true message of the cross, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus is enough. 

Listen to this episode as Jackie talks about building your relationship on Christ. If your foundation has been about the flesh, people pleasing, all the religious rituals and standards, instead of understanding that your righteousness is in Christ, ask Him to gently show you. It can be a painful process removing stones in your foundation that you thought were godly, but instead were about show. 

I LOVE YOU!!!❤️

Paul wrote Philippians from prison, and yet, the theme of Christian joy leaps from the pages. How was he able to have joy in such difficult circumstances? His mind was set on Jesus Christ and the furtherance of the Gospel.

This month’s topic is all about teaching and training your children. I was a youth pastor’s wife for fifteen years, so I’ve seen a lot when it comes to raising teenagers. 

I hope this episode encourages you that you can have a good relationship with your teen. It’s not impossible and it’s not too late.

I also forgot to mention in the episode, but wanted to here, don’t take things personally with your teenager. Don’t take it to heart if they have a bad attitude. There’s so much hormonal shift happening that many times they feel so many different feelings they don’t even know how to express it. 

Be encouraged. We are for you, and hope this helps you!

Love, Jackie

 Join Crystal as she shares a few lessons we can learn from Naomi and her journey back to the House of Bread found in the Book of Ruth. We don't want to be too hard on Naomi, but much of what we learn is what NOT to do. In the end, she did get a few things right on her journey toward restoration.

Our God is a God of RESTORATION. He wants to bring us back into a right relationship with Him. A place of spiritual blessing, like the “House of Bread.” He will NOURISH us and help us to grow in our relationship with Him and He will give us REST…thanks to our kinsman-redeemer, Jesus Christ!
