Sunshine in My Nest

I hope understanding where this name comes from combined with this verse reminds you that you don’t have to sin or pull strings in order to have your needs met by God. He is a shelter for you. As you live in trust that God keeps his promises you live in the nearness of God. According to this verse, you will be close enough to be in his shadow.

Living in community with other believers is mentioned in scripture to help us grow in our faith. But culturally we are moving away from it are we losing anything?

Why are you so passionate about community that you've chosen to encourage people toward that for so many years? 

What benefits do believers get from living in a community? 

What does it look like to live in a community?

Does it have to be local, or can people do it online? 

What do we lose if we don't have an in-person faith community? 

What if I can't find a church or discipleship group that aligns with what I believe?

Our grief at death is often overwhelming. It’s because as humans we weren’t created to experience death. We were created to exist in a world of eternal fellowship with God and perfect relationships with others. The fall marred the blueprint for our existence in a horrific way.

I thought parenting would be easy. I read all the books looking for the perfect formula and became more and more frustrated that I wasn't being given one. I realized with time each child is so individual that even if someone offered me a formula it wouldn't work. I then entered a phase of overwhelm and fear. 

Has flourishing always defined your family, or was there a time of desperation for you? 

How does seeing our failures in our kids help us lean more into Jesus? 

You talk about framing the concept of obedience in trust. How does that change the way we view our children's behavior and our reaction to their behavior? 

What do we do with the guilt when we don't respond in an ideal way?

This blessing is a reminder of God’s presence with his people. Even though sin broke the experience his physical presence with Adam and Eve in the garden. God wants us to know that he is present. He holds and keeps us, and with his presence is peace.

Today we are talking about how to keep a steady diet of faith even when life gets squirrely.

What does your IDEAL time in God’s Word look like? I think it's easy to assume everyone does the same thing we do! How does Bible time change when you're overwhelmed?

Have you ever had a season where you felt like you were spiritually starving?

What are some unconventional ways you’ve gotten into the Word of God?

It’s easy to let our mental growth go on pause. Some of us who loved reading in high school go for years without reading a book.

We talk about holding space for our kids to create, learn, and explore, How do we reawaken that desire for ourselves?

There’s a concept in Charlotte Mason education that we are to expose our kids to many beautiful things so that their minds have a large room.

What areas have you found joy in your continued growth?

Journaling is a lost art… can we talk about some of the forms you’ve advocated for?

What types of hobbies have you found that are available?

What is something you love so much you could do an ad for?

When we take time to create something we find to be beautiful reflects a creative God! Does that sound confusing, listen along as we chat and I think it will get clearer.

What led you to create? What stage of life were you when you started?

Have you ever had someone reject something you created? How did that affect you, and what did you learn from it?

How do you move past creative blocks?

What role does faith and worship have in creativity?

How do you find a creative passion?

We try to DO a lot in life. We live in a culture that finds pride in being "busy." This trickles into our spiritual lives also. Often we don't see the rub until something comes along and knocks our feet out from under us. These end up being acts of grace where we truly understand Jesus' completed work for us. 

Do you tend to be relaxed or more anxious and tempted by hustle culture? 

What has Jesus' example in earthly ministry taught you about priorities for our earthly life? You lost someone at a young age, how did that change your perspective and priorities? 

One of the greatest counterfeits to living like Jesus is trying to be like him without him.

How do we use our anxieties as a doorway to loving God?

We know that technically all Scripture is profitable, but it seems like some of it is more helpful than others. In Bible studies, we discuss what our favorite book of the Bible is and just sayin' Ezra and Numbers has never come up. Kristie is here to talk us into taking a peek into and fall in love with some of these more obscure Old Testament books. 

How do we answer the question "What's your favorite book of the Bible?"

 Why do you think we are automatically attracted to some books of the Bible and not others? 

Why do you think people believe the books that fall within the law genre are difficult to understand?
Why do we need to understand the Old Testament in order to understand the New Testament? What richness do we risk not getting if we don't read the Old Testament? 

How do we lead others into loving the Old Testament?
