Natives Follow Jesus

SHOW NOTES:

Even spiritual warriors get tired. In this episode, you will find that following Jesus doesn't mean we never experience burnout, grief, or exhaustion. It means learning to recognize when we're weary, bringing our burdens to Jesus, receiving help from others, and allowing God to restore our strength.

SHOW NOTES:

A spiritual warrior doesn’t have to prove their strength through anger. They learn to walk in humility, practice discipline, choose courage, and depend on Jesus for endurance.

In this first episode of our new series, The Warrior Heart, we’re going to talk about rejecting anger as our master and embracing humility, discipline, and courage as we learn to follow Jesus better.

Listen now to discover how to follow Jesus better.

Join us for the next episode when you can learn how you can work through burnout, grief, and spiritual exhaustion in the Christian life.

SHOW NOTES:

Three stories. Three painful journeys. One faithful God who meets us where we are and walks with us toward hope.

Not perfect stories. Not stories where everything worked out exactly the way somebody wanted. Not stories where following Jesus meant there were no more tears, struggles, or hard days.

We’re going to hear from Native people who have walked through some painful seasons of life and have experienced the presence, faithfulness, and hope of God along the way. God has not stopped caring for us.

Psalm 147:3 tells us that God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Join us for the next series to learn how you can find spiritual courage and endurance in Jesus amid the daily grind of life.

SHOW NOTES:

Sometimes our grandparents and elders helped us recognize moments of peace, balance, and hope. Their words, their prayers, their patience, and the way they lived remind us that God is still at work in our lives.

Through Jesus, we can find peace in the middle of trouble, hope in seasons of loss, and the strength to keep walking in beauty.

God doesn't ask you to pretend life is perfect. He invites you to bring your brokenness to Jesus, receive His peace, and help others find hope along the way.

Join us for the next episode when you hear how God restored peace, hope, and healing in the lives of Native People.

SHOW NOTES:

Our elders taught us that character matters. They ideally showed us how to love people, keep our word, be patient, help others, and remain faithful through hard times. But, oftentimes, they fell short. Sometimes they reflected low character or a mean character.

As followers of Jesus, you can discover that godly qualities can develop in you with the help of the Holy Spirit. You can begin a new legacy of godly character for those who follow behind you. The next generation can see godly character in you as you follow Jesus and surrender to God, the Holy Spirit.

SHOW NOTES:

Jesus didn’t live in a hurry. He walked, listened, stopped, rested, prayed, and paid attention to people. Following Jesus means learning that we don’t have to live at the pace of a culture that constantly tells us to hurry.

In this episode we discover the holy pace of Jesus and how we can walk with Jesus and find renewal and closeness to Jesus

SHOW NOTES:

Walking in Beauty with Jesus does not mean living in a perfect world. It means learning to walk with Jesus, with others, and through life faithfully--even when life is broken.

Life does not always stay in harmony and peace. There are times when relationships are broken, families hurt, communities struggle, and our own hearts become weighted down and tired.

Following Jesus does not remove you from those realities. Jesus can teach you to walk through them. He will walk through them with you.

The goal is not to pretend everything is beautiful. The goal is to learn how to walk in beauty even when the world around us isn't beautiful.

SHOW NOTES:

Episode 99 was a celebration of where we’ve been. Episode 100 is about where we’re going.

The story isn’t finished.

We made it to 100 Episodes--not because the journey has been easy, but because God has been faithful. We are still here. We are still Native. And we will follow Jesus.

This is not a finish line. It's a starting line for the next season.

SHOW NOTES:

What would change in your life if you really believed that you belonged to Jesus?

It's more than knowing it in your head or just saying it at church, but really believing that you belong to Jesus.

In this episode, you’ll discover how you should live in light of rejecting the lies and replacing them with God's truth. You can live differently when you embrace God's design, stop comparing, renew your mind, and start walking confidently with Jesus.

You belong to Jesus. Live like it.
