Lowercase Kingdoms with Ariel Anderton

Our internal and external experiences all matter in the Kingdom of God. Our assumptions can put us at an "off" starting point, one that is incomplete or missing truth. Jeff and Ariel share stories and examples for getting back to complete Reality with Jesus.

Jesus wants us to look at our hearts WITH Him and when that involves pain, we can be reluctant. We'd rather He work on places in us that we don't like without us having to go there. Yet the richness of His love and deeper connection await us when we choose to go with Him. Jeff and I share some day to day example from our lives with Jesus.

Recent stories around groceries and Christmas where Jesus showed up visibly and tangibly in our needs. We practice connecting our hopes in Jesus that root and establish our hearts in Love, who is God, and anchor us into 2021.

Why traditions? Does it do good for our hearts? God thinks so. We look at how to assess our chosen holiday traditions for the good God intended for each of our hearts.

Receiving the whole heart of Jesus with thankfulness brings refreshment. The Holy Spirit enables us to receive. We are lifted by lyrics from Bethel Music's Pieces looking at God's heart as well as by the fruit of the spirit in the scripture reading from Galations 5:22-26.

Actively resting in Jesus is an overseeing of our hearts connecting with His heart. Jeff and Ariel read from Isaiah and pray over our resting connection in Jesus.

Ariel coaches Cindy supporting her in facing the obstacles competing for her attention. Cindy regains ground, re-owning her heart, reconnecting her heart to God's heart.

We want to notice sooner when we're disconnected from Love, our God, and return to connection with Him. Looking at the parable of lost sons, we're given examples of being disconnected and what it looks like to regain connection: dialoguing with the father.

Our deep desires are God given. It can be difficult to trust the good hearts He gave us afresh in Jesus when so much around us screams "scarcity" and "impossible". Here is our journey through impossible to possible.

Presence of Love, who is our Father God, is the source of our ability to live, give, love etc. We return again to this important look at what presence is, how to receive it and value it as we offer it to other hearts in our lives.
