In this episode, we explore Jesus’ powerful teaching in Luke 16:10 that faithfulness in small things prepares us for greater things. What if the challenge is not that God has given us too little, but that He is teaching us how to steward what we already have?

Together, we walk through six levels of stewardship, from survival and awareness to faithfulness, alignment, multiplication, and ultimately overflow. Through Scripture and practical reflection, this conversation helps us recognize where we are in our current season and how God develops growth step by step.

If you have been feeling stretched, waiting for more, or seeking clarity about where you are right now, this episode invites you to shift your prayer from asking for increase to learning faithful stewardship. Overflow is not about life becoming easier. It is about a life sustained by God’s presence.

If you are in the Providence area, you are invited to join us every Thursday at 6:30 PM at 372 Wayland Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island. Come as you are. We would love to grow with you.

Have you ever felt like you’re constantly pouring into everyone and everything, yet quietly running on empty inside? In this episode, we explore the powerful question: Are you running on empty, or are you living in overflow?

Through Psalm 23 and the words of Jesus, we discover that overflow is not about perfect circumstances or an easier life, but about staying connected to the faithful Shepherd who restores, refills, and sustains us. Together, we reflect on what fills our “cup,” why God restores us before He enlarges us, and how true overflow flows from relationship, not effort.

If you are longing for renewal, deeper faith, and a life anchored in God’s presence, this conversation is for you.

If you’re in the Providence area, you’re personally invited to continue the conversation with us in person every Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at 372 Wayland Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island. Come as you are and grow with us.

Hello everyone, welcome back to the podcast. This is Episode #5. And biblically, #5 is the number of grace. And we have certainly been experiencing God’s grace in our Thursday bible studies. We had a great time of discussion, testimony and we closed out with unity prayer that we had to do 2 benedictions for because the power of the holy ghost showed up so powerfully. 

Last week, we talked about ways to connect with God and how He meets us in more than one spiritual pathway. We discussed 6 out of the 12 ways we connect with God. We explored movement, discovering that walking, working, or even dancing can become a form of prayer. We discussed conversation, learning that prayer is an ongoing dialogue with God, not just a scheduled moment. We reflected on solitude, creating quiet space to listen and regain perspective. We considered expression, encountering God through creativity and the act of making. We focused on meditation, allowing Scripture to slow us down and shape our inner life. We ended with adoration, worshiping God simply for who He is, without agenda or request.

And this Thursday, February 12th, we’re going to discuss the other six ways to connect with God. If you’re in the Providence area or nearby cities, and you’ve been praying, seeking God, wanting to grow in your understanding of Scripture, desiring a deeper relationship with Him this year, and looking for a local community to grow with, I want to personally invite you to join us. We gather every Thursday at 372 Wayland Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island at 6:30 p.m., and we would truly love to have you with us.

Now let’s dive into the remaining six ways that you can connect with God. 

Scripture References: Matthew 25:40, Psalm 86:11, Matthew 17:21, Psalm 19:1, Micah 6:8, Psalm 100:4.

Today we’re talking about what it looks like when God shows up in the middle of ordinary, everyday life.

If we’re honest, there are some weeks where life just feels… heavy. Not heavy because of a crisis. Not heavy because something is falling apart. Just heavy in the weight of the everyday. Heavy just moving through your routine—and it feels like every day looks the same.

If that sounds like you, this episode is for you.

Today I want to deal with something that touches every area of our lives, our decisions, our relationships, our purpose, our healing journey, our next moves and steps…and that is, hearing God. But not only hearing God, but we are going to speak today about how to hear God more clearly. 

Because if we’re being honest, most believers aren’t asking, “Does God speak?” But we’re asking, “God… how do I know it’s You?” 

And We’re going to cover three things:

First, what the Bible says about hearing God.

Second, why it can be hard to hear Him today.

And third, how God speaks and how you can hear Him more clearly.

Jesus said something in John 10:27 that we can’t ignore:

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”

Meaning, if you belong to God, the ability to hear Him is already a part of your relationship with God. 

Today, I want to take what we talked about last week and go one step deeper. Because writing the vision is powerful and running with the vision is inspiring, but the question becomes…what do you do when the vision is clear, but the timing is not?

That’s where Habakkuk 2:3 comes in.

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

The Lord speaks to Habakkuk and says the vision is yet for an appointed time. 

Many believers today view God’s promises as a straight line. Moving from Point A… the promise. To Point B… the fulfillment of that promise. 

But the Bible doesn’t show God’s promises and fulfillment as a straight line. 

But Scripture shows us that God moves in seasons. In stages. In a timeline.

So today, I will map out 5 phases every believer goes through while waiting for the appointed time and for the promise. And chances are you will find yourself in one of these phases. 

As we begin this new year, it’s important to set the tone for what God desires to do in our lives. And one of the first ways we do that is by writing the vision.

Habakkuk 2:2: “And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.”
