Josh Terada Podcast

There are many moments in this life when we will feel that we are not enough for what life and the Lord require of us. As we'll discover in this Bible study, God doesn't do this to torture us, but to test us so that we might find the answer in Jesus, not in ourselves. I hope God blesses you through this study of Matthew 14 as we unpack, by the Holy Spirit, how Jesus used five loaves of bread and two fish to feed over five thousand people.

(00:00) Intro

In this episode, we have our first guest join me on the podcast my long time friend Moses Vergara. We talk about his testimony with battling depression and how God provides us Biblical and practical tactics to fight the darkness. Hope this episode blesses you!

If the devil can’t keep you from believing in God, he’ll keep you from growing with him. And yet the very difficulties that can destroy our faith God can use to develop it. This is a very important study about how God grows those who put their faith in him.

God is the truest source of happiness & joy, but also we must trust Him when we are not experiencing it. This does not mean that God wants us to hate happiness, or does it mean that God will always make us happy. It is in this tension we study Romans 6:15-23 on what God's word has to say about the pursuit of happiness versus pursuing Him.

This life is not perfect, but the Lord is perfect. It is better to be in the valley of the shadow of death with our Shepherd, than to be on mountain tops without Him. In this episode, we study Psalm 23:1-2 and how David's perspective on the life and the Lord can transform our lives forever.

Relationships were God's invention and idea. From friendship, to family, and even marriage relationships in this life are not only designed by God, but also intended to make us dependent upon Him. In this episode we study what God's word says about how to love others His way. Whether you are single or married this episode, if you want to love better I believe this episode will be a blessing to you.

In our battles with sin and mental struggles we don’t just need self help, we need God’s help. In this episode we study the armor & weapons God has given us for our daily battles, and how to use it practically. 

This passage  is filled with nuggets of truth that I wish as young Christian I knew in battling to overcome temptation, intrusive thoughts, mental battles, lust and/ or habitual sin. 

It's easy to get consumed and overwhelmed by this life, and to lose sight of the Lord. In this episode we study the first verse of Psalm 23 to see how we can focus on the Presence of our Shepherd in the midst of our present situations. Have a blessed day!

In this episode we study Matthew 6 to see how to seek God first even in busyness and difficulties of life. We will unpack God's Word on how to deal with worries, being overwhelmed, and how to find Him even when we don't feel Him. Hope this is a blessing to you!
