On The Trail

Passover. It stands apart not just as the final sign in Yahweh’s confrontation with His people’s oppressors but also as a theologically significant climactic event that we continue to celebrate today. 

With this event, the people of Israel prepare to embark on the start of their freedom journey. This is a journey from a slavery identity to a freedom identity.  

In this episode, we talk about everything from Mephibosheth and grace to Communion and Jesus’ work on the Cross to Immanuel prayer journaling.

What do all these things have to do with Passover? Come and see.

“But Pharaoh said, ‘Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and besides, I will not let Israel go.” (Exodus 5:2 NASB)

Pharaoh asks. Yahweh answers. 

In this episode, we discuss the “Ten Plagues” narrative, throughout which God reiterates ‘so that they may know I am Yahweh.’ 

We look at the very intentional structure of the signs and dwell on some practical heart lessons about who God is and how we can trust Him. 

Just because we experience the chaos does not mean God is callous or winging it. He cares. He is meticulous, and He has a plan. We can face deep struggle alongside God and know that He will see us through it. 

As we press deeper into the knowledge of who God is and how He cares for us, we hope you’ll join us on the trail! 

The Hero’s beloved has been captured and abused, and He will not let it stand. He is coming not only to rescue her but to humiliate her abuser. 

In this episode, we press into the heavy beginning of the Exodus story. The people of Israel are groaning under ruthless oppression, but God hears them and takes action. 

God always has a plan, and He is not afraid of chaos. 

The story of Exodus contains many lessons and symbols. Some include parallels of the deep pain that launches a healing journey and parallels we see in the Gospel (e.g., Pharaoh as a symbol of sin, Slavery as a symbol of bondage to sin). 

As we press further in to this epic Bible account, we hope you’ll join us on the trail! 

Season Two!! On the Trail is now on video, and we are starting a new series. In this new series we are looking at the Exodus story. The people of Israel are groaning in a state of generational slavery and abuse. God hears their cry and instigates a rescue mission that unfolds into an epic journey of rescue, redemption, covenant, growth, and victorious living. This is a long journey. A difficult journey. A worthwhile and necessary journey. And we’re going to follow along.

What does demon manifestation look like? Can you forgive God? These and more we’ll be addressing as we answer your listener questions in this week’s episode. We hope you’ll join us on the trail!

Have you encountered discipleship that gave you a picture of what it looks like to be a Christian on the outside, but it didn’t seem to have answers for what was happening on the inside? 

At Deeper Walk, our mission is to make Heart-Focused Discipleship the norm for Christians everywhere. What is heart-focused discipleship and why is it so important? 

In today’s episode, we are looking at this keyword – heart – with an Old and New Testament understanding. 

We hope you’ll join us on the trail! 

In the first episode of 2024, we are talking about the three levels of breakthrough and the 5 “engines” or factors that need to be addressed in any breakthrough journey. We also have some exciting news for the near future!

In the final episode of 2023, we are wrapping up the Advent & Incarnation series with a look at  the two-way street of preparation. How has God prepared for us? How do we prepare for Him? As we wrap up this series and the year, we hope you’ll join us on the trail! 

Also! New things are coming in 2024! WE’RE TAKING A BREAK not only over Christmas but also at the start of the new year, and we’ll be coming back with the same podcast you love but with *more.* Stay tuned to Stephanie’s Monday emails and Deeper Walk’s social media for updates. 

God wants to walk with us. In this week’s episode, we continue discussing the Incarnation by looking at this incredible truth that God wants us to be in relationship with Him. This is a listening, conversational relationship characterized by trust and obedience, where He seeks us and we seek Him. 

God understands our weakness. 

The incarnation paved the way for Jesus Christ to become our High Priest, so we can approach God boldly and find the mercy and grace we need. What does it mean for Jesus Christ to be our High Priest? (And who was Melchizedek?) We discuss this and more in today’s episode.
