There are parts of the Bible that I think I could read over and over and still come no closer to understanding what the words actually mean or reveal about God. I feel so lost sometimes, but wouldn't you know God always provides rescue. Tune in to explore what just one part of the Old Testament revealed to me about God's character. 

The phrase “show me your friends and I’ll show you your future” is not just a profound and figurative statement. The people we associate with and activities we pursue are laying the groundwork for our future selves. Listen in as we explore how this relates to how God sees us.

One day I was holding my baby boy, the one who looked to me for everything up until then, and he reached for Daddy like I was chopped liver. My heart broke. Nothing quite feels like the day we realize we’re second, especially when we’ve given nothing but our best. Reading through Ezekiel, I had to look at multiple translations to ensure I was reading it correctly. Could God be crushed by His people choosing everything but Him? Listen in as we explore the complexity of God's love for us.

When we think through the commands that God issues for His people, it's easy to think that Christianity is just a bunch of rules. When we learn more about God's character, I hope we can begin to see those rules are lovingly issued to give us life, keep us healthy, and bring us closer to our Father. What about Sabbath though? Why should we Sabbath and how on Earth do we do this? Tune in to find out!

There are so many things that God has called me to do that are so contrary to the type of person I am and have been. The things I often feel Him ask me to do are hardly ever things that come naturally to me. How did I become this person? The person who washes the feet of my dying Mother-in-Law or is able to feel an incredible peace when I wake up and find I can no longer walk without the assistance of a cane. It can only point to the power of Him who lives within me. Listen in as I talk through this process.

One of the hardest parts of Christianity is recognizing that Jesus died for all of us, even the ones who hurt us as deeply as they did. In spite of the sins we have and will commit, He chose crucifixion for us and at some point, we must confront ourselves with a question. Is the hurt we're holding onto greater than the sacrifice of Jesus to free us from it? Tune in as we talk through this and more.

Like an old suitcase stored on the top shelf of my closet, there were some things tucked away in my heart that needed my attention. On this episode, we begin to explore what forgiveness is actually meant to do.

Have you ever felt misunderstood? Been blamed for things you weren't responsible for doing? What if all the things we've blamed God for are actually just some big misunderstanding? Tune in to listen as we unwrap this gift. 

There are things in our lives that just aren't good for us. We know it deep in our guts and yet, something compels us to hold onto those things, keeping them far longer than we should ever have kept them. In today's episode, I'm talking about this stuff and why it's so important we get it out. Tune in to listen!

The older I get, the more value I see in simply not always saying the thing I want to say. Sometimes, silence says more than any word could. It's also been in my silence that I've grown closer to God in learning more about Him. In the listening, what can we hear Him say?
