This one's personal, friends, and might be a difficult listen for some--but we hope you'll stick with us! Rach and Suz talk about grief: their own experiences with loss (you may need tissues), how you should and should not talk to someone in grief, things that grieving people may find helpful and comforting, and how best to sit with those who are deeply hurting. They also discuss how big God is in the midst of our pain and how much He loves us, even when it doesn't feel like it.

The Bible has many verses about waiting on God, and waiting is, more often than not, frustrating. Today, we learn how waiting is active, and that when we wait, we're actually waiting for God, not for the thing we're longing for! Listen as we discover the true--and the best--way to wait on the Lord!

Today, we seek (and find) Jesus in the Old Testament! We dig into Isaiah 42:6, a prophecy about the Messiah, and learn how important the words in this one verse are--as well as how it fits into the bigger picture of God's covenant with us, His people.

Today's episode brings us from Isaiah 9:1-2 to Psalm 23 and into Matthew 4:12-16 as we learn how prophecy illustrates the difference between living in a valley and traveling through one--and who does the work of getting us to the other side.

If you've ever been in a dark valley, let this discussion on how our Good Shepherd carries us through uplift you, and know you are not alone as our Comforter walks you through it.

It's part 2 of our conversation on community. We discuss what an authentic community looks like and how it's opposed to cancel culture. How do we give space for disagreements with others, and how do we develop a muscle to tolerate differences and practice that? And how does a physical community differ from an online community. Listen in as we discuss the hard work of building community!

Have you ever thought about what 'community' is? Today, we have guest speaker and social worker Mahira Zakiuddin with us to discuss the difference between community and socializing. Can we create and foster community? How does allowing differing opinions help us grow, and how do we encourage the "we" to be stronger than the "I"? Mahira helps us unpack the benefits of community and relationships, and we hope you learn as much as we did from it!

In today’s episode, Rach and Suz talk about the inspiration for Rach’s jingle at the end of each episode (have you listened to the variations of them? 🙂): taste and see the Lord is good! They discuss what Psalm 34:8 means when it invites us to do that, how experiential moments with God help us grow in our relationship with Him, and what the fullness of God’s goodness means. #christianpodcast #christianliving #christianity #godisgood #psalms

Listen as they dig into these two verses, and know that whatever you may be going through today, your brother and sister believers are with you! #christiany #christianpodcast #christianliving #bibleverse #newchristianpodcast
