In Day 6 of the Luke Challenge, we read chapter 6 where Jesus gently—but boldly—deconstructs the faith people thought they understood. Instead of obsessing over rules, actions, and perfect behavior, Jesus redirects everyone’s eyes back to the heart of God.

Inside today’s reflection you’ll hear:
✨ Why Jesus’ interactions with the Pharisees reveal His deep desire to reshape our understanding of God
✨ How this chapter parallels yesterday’s theme of “new wine and new wineskins”
✨ The trap of focusing on spiritual doing instead of being with Jesus
✨ The verse that stopped Hala in her tracks: “Everyone, when he is fully trained, will be like his teacher.”
✨ A powerful question for your own walk: What logs are in my eye that keep me from seeing You, God?

This is a beautiful, grounding episode if you’re craving clarity, simplicity, and a return to the heart of Jesus during this season.

Whether you’re catching up or jumping in late, you can still join the community walking through the Gospel of Luke together this month.

See you tomorrow for Luke 7!

In Day 5 of the Luke Challenge, we dive into Luke chapter 5—a chapter packed with the calling of the first disciples, miraculous healings, meals with sinners, and one of Jesus’ most powerful parables about new wine and new wineskins.

In this episode, Hala shares her real-time reflections with God, unpacking why Jesus’ teaching on new wine stopped her in her tracks and what it reveals about spiritual growth, change, and receiving the new thing God is doing.

You’ll hear:
✨ Why the image of new wine is so challenging—and so hopeful
✨ What Jesus was saying about old ways, new ways, and the resistance we all feel
✨ How a scene from The Chronicles of Narnia helped Hala understand the painful beauty of transformation
✨ A tender “spoonful of honey” moment God offered her in listening prayer
✨ An encouragement for you to ask: Where is God inviting me to be made new?

We're reading one chapter of Luke a day for the entire month of December so we wake up on Christmas with a deeper appreciation of who we're celebrating.

In Day 4 of the Luke Challenge, Hala shares her conversations with God from Luke 4—Jesus’ wilderness temptation, the beginning of His ministry, and what it means for our own spiritual “training ground.” From fasting and temptation to authority, healing, and teaching in the synagogues, this chapter is packed with power. Hala shares what she sensed God highlighting, how the enemy tries to tempt us through weakness, pride, and twisted Scripture, and why Jesus’ victory matters for our everyday walk with God.

n today’s episode of the Luke Challenge, Hala dives into Luke 3 and the life of John the Baptist—a “wilderness man” who reminds us that God loves to use the nobodies.

As Hala studies John’s boldness, humility, and calling, she reflects on why God chose someone so ordinary to prepare the way for Someone extraordinary. Through scripture, commentary, and a powerful moment of listening prayer, Hala shares what God revealed to her about being a “nobody” who simply points people to Jesus.

This episode will encourage you if you’ve ever felt unseen, small, or unsure of your impact. You’ll hear:

• Why John the Baptist’s life speaks so deeply to everyday believers
• The beauty of being the one who introduces people to Jesus—not the one who changes them
• Why ordinary people sharing ordinary stories can spark extraordinary faith
• A moving image God gave Hala about touching Jesus at the water’s edge

If you’re part of the Luke Challenge (or want to be!), join a our group you can connect with other “nobodies” who are boldly sharing what God is speaking to them through the book of Luke.

In this heartfelt episode, Hala opens up about a surprising emotional state she calls “joyful numbness”—a season where life is full, exciting, and overflowing with blessings… yet the soul quietly drifts from God’s presence. Hala shares how busyness, even beautiful busyness, can distract us from the Great I AM, and how God gently invited her back into true rest through a powerful memory of watching the sunrise on the beach.

If you’ve been going, doing, achieving—even in good things—and still feel disconnected inside, this episode will help you slow your spirit, breathe deeply, and return to the sanctuary of God. Come sit with Hala as she reflects on rest, presence, and the sweetness of noticing Him again.
