Pride is  sure a struggle for us.  We trust our own wisdom, we think too highly of ourselves, and we make it "all about us" way too often.  Join today's conversation as we talk about what the Bible has to say about pride and how we can approach our life in humility.

Verses:

• Philippians 2:3-4: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.”
• Proverbs 22:4 “Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life."
• Psalms 25:9 says, “He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.” 

Quotes:

• CS Lewis once said, "Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less.”

Resources:

• The Gospel Coalition's article, "7 Ways Pride Grows in Our Hearts"

God is faithful.  We know this about Him, but how often do we forget?  And we allow doubt to creep into our minds and it plants a seed.  How do we know He'll come through for us?  How do we know He'll fulfill His promises?

In this episode, I talk about what it means for God to be faithful.  And I share what it means to "raise an Ebenezer" so we can learn to do the same to remember God's faithfulness.

Passages:

• Mark 8:1-21
• 1 Samuel 7:3-12

Verses:

• 1 Samuel 17:37: “The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
• 2 Timothy 2:13: “if we are faithless, He remains faithful.”
• Psalms 86:15 says. "But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness."
• 1 Corinthians 10:13: "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let yoube tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
• 1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

I love  hosting!  I love having people over, welcoming them into my space, and making them feel at home.  And I dream of the day I can make a home for my family. But no matter what life stage we are in, we have the opportunity to make our homes havens.  A safe place for anyone to come to.  In this episode, I walk through what it takes to make a home a haven...and it's not much!  Safety, openness, relationships....that's what truly matters.
But then for ourselves, how can we make our homes havens for us, as well?  Listen in as I talk more about this!

Quotes:
- Jani Ortlund says this, “I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven.  Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside.  They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.”

Resources:
- Read Proverbs 31!

In this episode, I walk you through the process of finding a church.  From my own experience, I share five things to look for to ensure that you are at a church that is following closely in the steps of what the Bible teaches. 

1. The church needs to be biblically sound.
2. Sound doctrine needs to be at the foundation of the church.
3. There should be involvement of the whole congregation.
4. Church leadership has the responsibility to keep individuals in the church accountable.
5. Church leadership should be kept accountable.

Verses:

• Matthew 18:15-20: “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.  “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.  “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
• In 1 Timothy 4:16, it says, “ Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”
• Hebrews 13:17: “Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.”
• 2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is breathed out by God (other versions say inspired by God) and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
• In 1 Timothy 4:16, it says, “ Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.”  
• 1 Timothy 1:9-11: " We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.”

We all need rest.  The easiest rest to take is the one the world offers - in the form of self-care.  But there's a different way - one that Christ offers...a Sabbath rest.  

Verses:

• Philippians 2:3-5: “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:”
• Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
• Genesis 2:2-3: “By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work.  Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done.”
• Isaiah 58:13-14: "“If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the Lord’s holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the Lord, and I will cause you to ride in triumph on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.” The mouth of the Lord has spoken."

Quotes:

• “We don’t have to run to earn rest, we run fueled by a posture of rest.”  - Rebekah Lyons, Rhythms of Renewal

What does healthy community look like?  How can we create it?  What about when we don’t have one?   Tune in as I share what the Bible says about community and how we can live in healthy community with others.

Verses:

• Acts 2:42, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."
• Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: if either of them falls down, one can help the other up.  But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."
