Dear Listeners,

It's a joy to meet with you again on Indestructible Life—thank you for joining me for a look at Ephesians 6. While this portion of Scripture contains wisdom and instruction for various aspects of life, we're going to focus on how to stand firm against the devil.

Do you ever feel the pressures of Satan's schemes? Can you smell the lingering stench of his nasty breath in certain experiences you encounter? It's real. He's real. The evil one works to "steal, and kill, and destroy" (John 10:10). But we don't have to acquiesce to his manipulations.

God has provided His armor for our protection, and when we wear it daily, we'll achieve victory over the enemy. Praise the mighty name of JESUS! This message encourages and inspires us to get dressed God's way so we can stand firm against the devil.  

In Christ's Love,
Emily💕

Dear Listeners,

Welcome to Season Three, Episode One! I'm so excited to try something new by reading Psalm 106 and commenting periodically throughout the chapter. Please join me in pondering truths the Holy Spirit brings to mind. He has a wonderful plan for our spiritual growth.

In particular, Psalm 106 references the many times God's people, the Israelites, forgot His work on their behalf. How could that be? He accomplished so much for them, yet they lost sight of His marvelous deeds and resorted to sinful choices. But oh, we can do the same thing over and over again. 

This message calls each of us to remembrance. Despite life's challenges and no matter what we face, we must remember God's work in the past and present. Because when we remember His goodness, we're encouraged and strengthened for today.

Thanks for listening, and please share this podcast with your friends!

In Christ's Love,
Emily💕

Dear Listeners,

Sometimes we struggle with purpose, wondering why we're here on earth and what God desires us to do for Him. Meet John the Baptist. He understood his God-given purpose, and he exemplified how to fulfill your purpose. 

Fascinating details like John's miraculous birth, life in the desert, and diet of locusts and honey don't even compare to the extraordinary way God used him to prepare people's hearts for His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. John the Baptist inspires us to love and serve Christ more.

When it comes to fulfilling your purpose, do you feel passionate or powerless? May God use this lesson about John the Baptist to guide you more clearly on His chosen path for you. Because you have a purpose only you can fulfill.

In Christ's Love,
Emily💕

Dear Listeners,

Certain situations trouble us to the core, launching us into a place of struggle. We know God's Word is true ... but do we really believe the Bible applies to our circumstances? Filled with questions, doubts, and fears, we waffle back and forth. Peace eludes us. What do we do when it is hard to believe?

Today's episode, "Lazarus: Sick, Dead, Alive," covers this topic and more. 

May God increase your faith and mine, teaching us from Lazarus's sickness, death, and life as recorded in John 11.

In Christ’s Love,
Emily💕

Dear Listeners,

Guilt refuses to be ignored. Though we’d rather not think about the offenses  we commit, they lodge inside like an oppressive weight. How can we gain freedom in such times? God’s Word reveals the path forward in the story of the adulterous woman. Let’s take a look at her interaction with Jesus, the Savior of the world.

Thanks for tuning in. May the Lord bless you with freedom and joy through the application of His Holy Word.

In Christ’s Love,
Emily💕

Dear Listeners,

It's great to be together again, and today's message about Nicodemus really stretched me. I pray God uses it for His purposes in your heart, too.

Nicodemus's story might impact you in unexpected ways. A someone who enjoyed the honor and respect of many, it's interesting to ponder his purpose and manner of visiting Jesus. Their conversation and Jesus' subsequent teaching contain life-giving truths. God's Word never returns void (see Isaiah 55:11).

Thanks for joining me!

In Christ's Love,
Emily💕

 Dear Listeners,

Welcome to season two! We are getting to know Mary Magdalene in today's episode, and her example touches the heart. I pray God will use this message to impact you in mighty ways.

Mary Magdalene's identity has been confused at times, so this study of John 20:1-18 will provide some clarity. And as her story intersects with your life today, may you be blessed beyond measure. The Lord Jesus Christ delivered Mary Magdalene and profoundly impacted her life for all eternity. Her response to the Lord inspires all who desire a close relationship with Him.
