Small Town World

This amazing CHAPTER in the Bible is really special to me. It has been in my heart for quite some time and I truly do love it. Psalm 119 has been there for me in some dark times. We actually recorded this episode 2 1/2 years ago but never published it. To be honest, I guess it slipped through the cracks! But I found in my recordings this past weekend and I am so thankful that I found it! I hope that you all enjoy this episode and that you can also develop a love for this chapter. 

Welcome to year four of our tiny, small town podcast! We did an episode a couple of years ago entitled "Growth & Change". This episode is really growth and change 2.0. Are we ready to be productive for the kingdom!? Kayla makes the statement that we are not productive for the sake of the productivity but for the kingdom work. Whew....... that one hit home for me! I love to check a task off my to-do list and forget about it after that. She just reminds us in this episode that we have a bigger purpose for our productivity. 

In this episode we discuss the 3 parts of the law and what the Bible tells us about following the law present day. I am praying that this will be helpful and fruitful!

The shift in homesteading is clear and evident. We truly hope this episode gives you practical advice and information to enable you to begin making a few small changes. The reality is that if you want good, healthy food, it's your responsibility to make that happen for yourself & your family. And it is possible & attainable no matter where you live! This episode is a little longer but so full of good, good info!

I'm probably late to the party and everyone else has had this revelation years before me! But I did come to recognize this truth and was truly overwhelmed by it. God draws others in, He's working in our hearts to do specific tasks, He's simultaneously doing the same thing in the heart of someone else. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, He's providing the means, the desire and the opportunity for the accomplishment of His good works. We literally bring nothing to the table, we add nothing, we contribute nothing. God does it all!!! 

In this episode we will dive into the "personality test" called the Enneagram. We discuss what the Enneagram is and some origin information, as well as why this tool is problematic for the church. The attraction is real. The results are real. But is it really from God? Is the Bible sufficient or do we need an outside tool to help us?

Man this was a hard one! I have held on to it for a couple of weeks but I do feel like the Lord is leading me to get it uploaded. So I hope you will listen without judgment. Let me confirm that I am no longer struggling with my salvation. But my concern is for those that I know who have "drifted away" from the faith. The people who have heard the truth and turned away to live their own life, their own way.  Continued prayer is my answer and we truly hope this helps someone!

We explore what has happened with the attack on Israel.  Who are the players, why did this happen, and what does God's word say about His people? 

Not an easy subject tackle and I know there were so many other examples we could have used! There were so many points that could be made with this topic. It may be a topic that is repeated in the future with other examples from what is happening in the world today.  But for now, we just felt the need to address it and point out how we often fail as Christians because we excuse it, ignore it, actively participate in it or somehow think we are not affected by it.  

We took a break over the summer, but we know that this project is still a calling from God! So in obedience, Praise Him, we are back! We are planning on at least two episodes per month because we know that with our schedules, this is a realistic goal. In this episode, we discuss how a person knows that they have heard from God. I can tell you from personal experience, in prayer and Bible study, the Holy Spirit does confirm things to the believer! He does lead us and we hope that we can adequately convey how we feel He does this present day for those who are God's children.
