Jesus Time!

Last week Talia shared how her dad‘s boundaries were a blessing to her and how thankful she was that she did not date in high school. Today we get to talk to the man, the myth, the legend himself, Frank Liu! He shares his thoughts on Christian dating and how he won his kids’ hearts in this area. You do not want to miss this wisdom and encouragement!

Oh, the wonderful and awkward world of Christian dating! There are so many ideas and opinions out there about what a Christian dating relationship should look like. The bottom line is that the Bible does not say very much at all about dating. So today, I am interviewing an incredible young Christian woman who recently started dating— my fabulous daughter, Talía! We’re going to hear her personal journey and her mindset at every step of the process. We’re not advocating one way of dating over the other, we’re just looking at one example🤗. Bonus: somewhere in the middle is a 30 second master class on contentment! (Correction: I cited a verse incorrectly and wanted to give you guys the correct reference😅. “I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ” is found in 2 Corinthians 10:5)

How does a natural born achiever relate to God? How does striving for success reconcile with a life lived by faith? You guys! You have to listen into this incredible sister in Christ, Christia Lomas—talented musician and worship leader as well as a microbiology graduate who worked at Mayo Clinic and is now a medical student! In the midst of her natural born drive, she has gone through seasons of depression and purposelessness. Once she found Jesus, she learned to strive in His strength! You will not believe how much joy this young woman has!💗💗💗

Life training or LT is a yearly conference for high school students. The goal is to help them get closer to Jesus, get trained in evangelism, connect with the body of Christ, and enjoy fun fellowship. This year our church got to host it, and we have two very special guests who will tell us about their experience: one as a participant and the other as an adult volunteer.

Have you ever prayed to God and asked Him to show you which way to go? But really you knew which way you wanted to go and just wanted Him to give you what you wanted. Yep. Me, too. God gives us an example in the book of Jeremiah (Chapter 42) where the Israelites did the same thing, where they went wrong, and how we can do things differently.

30 years ago I experienced a very personal and amazing Independence Day. I came face-to-face with the all powerful, perfectly holy, and supremely righteous God. In that moment I became fully exposed. All the icky things in my heart, shameful actions, and sinful thoughts were laid bare before Him. I. Was. Wrecked. Then JESUS!!!! Listen in, and rejoice with me!

Have you ever hurt yourself pushing through a hard work out? Me too. There is a wisdom in how we push through spiritual weaknesses and challenges, and God tells us all about it in His Word!🙌🏽

I think Peter was the only disciple who failed after he already knew Jesus… I mean failed big! Knowing that and reading first and second Peter brings me so much encouragement and comfort! As I drove into my Jesus time today, I was so encouraged to read Peter‘s words of grace. Listen in to hear God’s sweet reminder through Peter to keep faith and effort in the right order💗

Join a really fun conversation with a very tired Isabel who just came back from LINC, (Laborers Impacting Nations for Christ) a summer project in Norfolk, Virginia. It was so interesting to hear her take-away from four weeks of concentrated boot camp Jesus time. I love how she is so honest and transparent!

Have you ever wondered why it’s the fruit of the spirit and not fruits of the spirit? There are nine qualities but a singular noun🤷🏻‍♀️. In my Jesus time, He showed me how these qualities are the result of one thing.
