Sweeter with Honey Podcast

Let's be honest, we are all more alike than we are different. If you allow yourself to have authentic conversations with friends, you will find the sister across the table from you has fears, disappointments, dreams, just like you. She also needs support and encouragement. And so do you! Join me today as we start a 2 part series on Exodus 17-18 and see how we are reminded of this in scripture.

Have you ever felt God nudging you toward something that seemed completely beyond your abilities? Did it make you feel like saying, " But I'm not qualified!" If you've ever whispered those words to God, you're in good company. Moses did too. Join me today as we unpack this feeling and see what God has to say!

Sometimes choices are essentially dictated to you by obvious external factors, like whether to make an emergency run to the hospital for stitches. But what about when the decision is purely one of preference, what factors should you use then? Listen in to hear what the Bible has to say about this as we dig into letters from the apostle Paul.

Imagine driving through your hometown after years away. The houses haven't changed nearly as much as you have. Then you turn onto the street where you grew up, and there it is—a familiar porch light glowing against the evening sky. Most people would see a light bulb. To others it is hope, love and someone saying, "I'm still here. I'm waiting for you." Tune in to today's episode and hear how this picture reminds us of our parents, but also our Heavenly Father.

One of the greatest gifts a parent can give their children is a legacy of faith. However, we cannot spend our lives living under the umbrella of someone else's relationship with God. God has no grandchildren. Every one of us must come to the place where the God we've heard about becomes the God we personally know. That is exactly where we see Jacob in Genesis 28. Listen in to see how God personally met him in his wilderness.

Fear can echo through generations, but so can trust in God's faithfulness. In Genesis 12, 20, and 26, we see Abraham and Isaac fall into the same pattern of fear, yet God never breaks His promise. Join us as we look at Genesis 26 and discover how God remains faithful to us even in the middle of our fear.

There are moments in Scripture that feel almost impossible to reconcile. Stories where sin and mercy stand side by side.And few passages reveal that tension more powerfully than 2 Samuel 24 and 1 Chronicles 21–22. Yet hidden inside this painful story is one of the most breathtaking examples of God bringing redemption out of ruin. Because the very place where judgment fell would become the place where mercy rested.

There's a space many of us know well, the gap between what we're living and what God has promised. And yet, this is often the very place where God does His deepest, sweetest work in us. In the gap between your circumstances and God's promises, there is an invitation, to rest like Peter and to pray like the church. Join me as we focus more on one sweet verse in Acts 12.

In 2 Samuel 6: 1-15, we find a story filled with celebration and grief, passion and obedience, fear and blessing. It is the story of a king who loved God deeply, a man who lost his life because holiness was handled carelessly, and an ordinary household forever changed because the presence of God rested there. Listen in and look at this story with us today and see what God is showing us in His Word.
