Does our relationship with Christ have anything to do with love? Should we strive to experience God’s Love deeper?

The answer to both of these questions is, "YES!" This world is tired of surface level faith. We want a faith that's more then a mouth piece, we want a faith the prompts our hands and feet, voices, and minds to action, the kind that does something. That screams authenticity. We want God like the Apostles had God.

How did the Apostles have Him? They had Him in ways that were life altering - where He took the lowest of society and lavished them in His love - calling them higher. Where He took those that couldn't see and blessed them with sight. Where the sick were healed... where they EXPERIENCED HIM, Experienced Him in ways other's could not deny nor take away from them.

We yearn for real, and genuine - and the way for real and genuine is found as we allow God's love to flow over us, to consume us.

Join me in this episode as we dial in to learn the truth about God's love for US.

Change is hard, and it's necessary. Scripture has a lot to say about change, and our need to endure it. 

2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us, "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."

From glory to glory means we're changing -> being transformed, to be like Jesus. 

Join me in this episode as we identify 4 reasons we resist change, and 3 truths we must hold on to.

Biblical Womanhood is a beautiful thing. At first blush and according to our world's culture often times we're led to believe Biblical Womanhood is outdated, irrelevant, and something we should steer clear of as they profess it leads to a state of bondage. Unfortunately, however our culture has missed the beauty of womanhood as presented in scripture without digging in to see the power of these precious lives which God has chosen to record and preserve to share throughout all generations. 

Join me in this study as we dive in to begin to understand what God really has to say about womanhood. 

Our pursuit begins today and it starts with awareness of our heart. 

Ezekiel 32:26 ESV, “And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”

Have you experienced a time when loss or struggle affected your perception of, or your relationship with God?

We are journeying through the book of Ruth. In it we find Naomi experienced a struggle like this, and it brought with it an identity crisis of sorts. As a result she changed her name from Naomi to Mara (meaning bitterness). 

Have you ever felt this way? Maybe you're wrestling with the Lord, in a place where you are dragging yourself to church struggling through a situation while at the same time still reaching for God. Perhaps your struggle has led you to confusion over who you are in Him?

Join us as we dive in to examine Naomi's struggle. As we do, we find God did not change her name, she changed it. She labeled herself just like we do when we call ourselves; Grief, Sorrow, Anger, Hardship, Depression, Anxious, Hopeless. 

In this episode we're going to acknowledge, yes she did make a mistake, however we're going to key in on what she did that we too need to grab hold of. 

This episode is the third of a series.
