Simply Put

Over the last week and a half we've been studying the book of Mark. I got stuck in Mark chapter 5 when I began looking at the life of Legion. There is so much to learn about the way Jesus sees us when we are out of control.

Over and over again, I have heard people tell me to "let my walls down". This idea, this phrase, says "what you've built is too high for others to get in." In the book of Nehemiah, we are introduced to a new way of thinking and we are shown a picture of what it looks like to rebuild walls that have been in ruins. 

Today we are going to take a quick peek at the story of Nehemiah chapters 2-4 and Christ's intention hidden within the text. Come hangout and see why God doesn't need your walls to come down. What He really desired is to rebuild them for His Glory. 

This past January I woke up to a text from a friend that said, "honestly, I think God is tired of your excuses". I knew she was right and yet something about stepping forward in obedience to what He asked me to do was terrifying. This week, we are going to dive into the way in which Jesus steps forward in obedience and what we can learn from His order. 

Can I be honest with you guys for a minute? Sometimes, I kinda like the funk I am in. Sometimes, it's easier for me to stay where I am than it is to admit I need the healing power of God. In John chapter 5 we learned about a man who has been lying on a mat for 38 years! Jesus prompts this man to be healed, looks past his response, and commissions him to go forward and speak of Jesus's healing power. Join me today as we dive into this story, what prompts this healing, and what we can learn from the way this man responds. 

When I heard of the events at Sri Lanka, I felt as if God downloaded this specific word into my soul.  Join me in diving into Luke 21 & Psalm 37 as we navigate through one large question;  "If God is good then why do bad things keep happening?"

Have we gotten so accustomed to the story of Jesus being born that we have missed the intricate details that relate to our lives? On today's episode we are going to talk about what a barn has to do with it, why there being no room for Him matters, and how our lives are forever changed when we set out on an adventure to seek Him. 

In a generation that seeks to find validation from others, the story of Elizabeth, Zechariah, and John speaks to the power of our words and the impact privacy can have on our circumstances. Today, we're going to look at the two significant moments that happen in both Elizabeth and Zechariah's life prior to John being born. Why did God choose silence? Why did they seek seclusion? We're gonna talk about it today on SP! 

For 25 years of my life, I thought the Bible was boring. I never understood how people could read it and what it meant. Join me on this episode of Simply Put to hear the heart, vision, and story behind how we got here today. 

Taking a look into 2 Kings 4:1-7 and specifically Elisha's encounter with a widow. Join me to find out how the order of our questions, the room we provide, and our dedication to living for Christ impacts how we handle the desolate places of our spiritual walk.
