The Gospel of John is unlike the other gospels in so many ways. When studying it, it's easy to notice the different experiences John included, and also note all the things he didn't include in comparison to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Why is this the case? What approach did John take in writing this fourth and last of the Gospels? On today's show you'll hear Melissa Spoelstra and the [MARKED] podcast team discuss the writing of John and the importance of diving deep into the study of the gospel.  [MARKED] is a podcast for women who are marked by a hunger for God's Word, a longing to impact culture, and a desire to discover and live out God's calling in their lives. 

Melissa discusses the unique aspect and provides behind-the-scenes look at the writing and filming process of her Bible Study, The Gospel of John. Reflecting on how the Gospel of John has personally marked her, she encourages us all to experience the peace and hope that Jesus offers.

30. What Does It Look Like to Abide in Jesus? with Melissa Spoelstra

Hey friends! It's the sweet summer and we are bringing you new amazing episodes from the Lifeway Podcast Network! These episodes have specifically been chosen for YOU and we know you're going to love today's show with Kristi McLelland and the ladies from His Glory Her Good. 

Last September, a team from Lifeway went to Israel with Krisi to record video teachings for her new bible study Luke in the Land. While the trip was an incredible experience, behind the scenes Kristi wrestled with the Lord, especially when the events in Israel on October 7th took place. On today's show, Kristi shares what God taught her through all of that and challenges us to put our "yes" on the table and walk in obedience when God calls. We hope this episode encourages you to walk in surrender to a good and trustworthy God. 

His Glory, Her Good was designed specifically for women serving in student ministry. Through this podcast, you’ll find two new friends who want to partner with you in student ministry, equip you in your calling, and encourage you to press on. His Glory Her Good is committed to bringing authentic and meaningful conversations to remind you that God is at work through your calling, for your good, for the good of the girls you serve, and for His glory.

29. Submission vs. Surrender with Kristi McLelland

Have you ever asked your spouse a simple question, like, "whats for dinner?" and all of a sudden they're making a snarky comment back to you? Have you ever found yourself responding out of irritation and frustration when your spouse or kids simply ask you a question? On today's show we're highlighting an episode from The Glass House Podcast where Nicole Zasowski describes to us what happens when we are operating in our pain cycle, how we can regulate our emotions, and why the simplest of questions can push us over the edge.

Any ministry leader and their families live in a "glass house" - an environment where they are left vulnerable to the stress of ministry, the criticism of others, and feel the spotlight on their personal weaknesses. Lifeway's "The Glass House" is a space where ministry leaders will shed light on the challenges they often don't feel permission to talk about. 

Nicole Zasowski is a marriage and family therapist outside of New York City. She is an author of Lost to Found and What If It's Wonderful, along with being a full time mom and wife. She also has a Bible Study resource coming soon through Lifeway!

We hope you enjoyed this episode. Head over to The Glass House to hear more ministry leaders sharing the challenges we all face! Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend!

28. Regulating Your Emotions with Nicole Zasowski

Happy summer friends!

One of my favorite things on the planet is introducing my favorite people to my favorite people.  That's exactly what I've decided to spend my summer doing!  We start this week with another podcast from Lifeway called MARKED.  Hosted by my friends, Elizabeth Hyndman and Kelly King, we chat with Anne Harrison & shares how she offered a summer Bible study through her church's women's ministry that turned into a community-wide summer study. This past summer, over 250 women in her community walked through When You Pray together in their homes. What a picture of unity in a community! Listen in for the full story and for helpful tips on how you can do this, too.
