Diving in the Word today, we get in to John Chapter 5. Jesus visits the Pool of Bethesda, where sick people have been laying around waiting for the waters of the pool to heal them. Jesus heals a man that has been unable to walk for 38 years. Before doing so he asks the man "Do you want to get well?"

We discuss this miracle and the fact that Pharisee's didn't even care about it because they only cared that Jesus broke the rules and healed on the Sabbath.

This is where we see Jesus show us that He is equal to God. Knowing scripture doesn't equal knowing God and the Pharisees had spiritual blindness.

John 5 reminds us that it's possible to be close to truth, study truth, and still miss the person of Jesus- and that true life is found not in religion, but in relationship with Him.

You guys, it's been a few weeks since we have done an episode. We planned to cover John 5 today, but then prayed the Holy Spirit do His thing and then he did. We spend this episode catching you guys up on where we are at in life and our walk with Jesus. The Lord has been so, so good to us lately.

The mentioned podcast Bible Study Podcast with Ang from Girls Gone Bible is linked below.

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21

This episode we are talking about "speaking life" vs. "speaking death." We get into it with some of our personal experiences and what's currently going on in our lives. There are dozens of places in the Word that talk about how we should speak and there is science backed data that shows the effect negative thinking and speech has on things like our self-esteem and perception of life.

The enemy uses the words we say out loud against us and often times it's the very words we speak that turn a little foothold into a stronghold. It's time to break that stuff off in Jesus name and start speaking life, love, and truth over ourselves and everyone around us.

Back in the Holy Bible we go! This episode we cover John Chapter 4 where Jesus meets the Samaritan woman and heals a young boy without even meeting him. This is such an amazing part of the book of John. Jesus really is the living water. If you drink of him, you will never be thirsty again.

We can't believe we are actually here! What better way to end the first season of Moms Convicted than to send off our girrrrrrl on her next big adventure! In case you guys have been under a rock or so deep in your Bible that you haven't heard, Elise is moving her family to Florida. We are devastated that she is leaving us, but also so incredibly happy for her. She has been such an integral part of Moms Convicted (giving us our name and getting us to like it lol) and she has been the best friend we both needed in motherhood.

This isn't truly goodbye, it's see you later. Thank you for everything girl. We love you endlessly.

We are getting back into the book of John today, covering chapters 2 and 3. The first miracle Jesus performed was at a wedding when he transformed water in to wine. As he started to baptize people and gain a following, John the Baptist tells his disciple that He (Jesus) should become greater and greater and He (John the Baptist) should become less and less. John the Baptist knew his role was to usher in the Messiah. He was like a best man at a wedding... there to support Jesus as the Bridegroom when He marries his Bride (the New Covenant with his people.)

What an amazing read and conversation we had. Thank you Jesus for bringing us together again and may we always glorify you. We love you so much.

Thank you for listening

Due to a technical difficulty, this is an audio only episode. Sorry guys, we are still trying to get this thing down.

This episode is us catching up and then reading about the birth of Jesus in Matthew 2, aka the greatest birth story of all time.

Jesus, we love you. We are forever changed because you were born and so is the world.

Thank you for listening and Merry Christmas to all of our listeners. We love each and every one of you. We will be back next time, hopefully with a full video episode.

We are kicking off our first series and we are so excited. The Book of John is a great place to start reading the Word, so we are going to dive deep, chapter by chapter, line by line. Learning with you guys as we go is so beautiful and we pray the Lord work through us to reach you in a way that glorifies Him.

The 3 of us are back together again and Elise has a big announcement!!! We spend this episode catching up and reading Proverbs 31. Most of us fall short of this "ideal" wife described by King Soloman's mother, but through our Lord Jesus Christ there is hope for all of us to become like this woman.

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

Proverbs 31:30

This episode was simply a beatiful, raw, vulnerable hour of two friends talking about being set apart. There are challenges when we start to feel the separation between ourselves and the world, especially the world of recovery. Recovery taught us both to be inclusive, tolerant, and open-minded to all people's spiritual walks and the Bible tells us that we will be persecuted as Christians and that we are to be set apart from the world. We get real about the struggle when our walk with Jesus isn't accepted by others.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-- his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 NIV
