Have you ever been in a room with other people, only to have them start talking about you as if you were not there?  Do you ever want to speak up and say, “Hey, I’m standing right here!” This thought came to mind as I was reading Ruth 1.  Join me today to hear more!

Do you truly believe that God is good?  Truly good?  All the time good?  Even when bad things happen?  This is something I think all of us question at times.  We may even know in our head that God is good, but in our heart we are feeling differently.  I want to encourage us today with reminders of God’s goodness and how we can know in our mind and heart that God is good, all the time, in every situation.

Have you ever told your child to do a specific task, in a specific way, for a specific reason, only to have them do it differently than you instructed?  It can be frustrating can’t it?  How many times have we done that with God?

When I think of the word “love,” I have two thoughts that come to mind; one funny and lighthearted, and deeply rooted in scripture.  Let's dig into one of the most beautiful verses in the bible and be encouraged in God’s great love! 

Have you ever told your children to do a specific task, only to have them give you a hard time about the task.  Yet, they finally give in, complete it, and see the rewards?  How many times have we done that to God?   Listen to today’s episode as we talk about reluctant obedience. 

As the New Year begins, many people reflect on their lives and set resolutions, often focusing on physical health; losing weight, exercising more, or eating better.  Scripture reminds us that while physical training has some value, godliness is of greater value, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.  Join me as we look at the differences and focus on what God is desiring to do in our lives this year.

Are you still enjoying some of your Christmas presents?  Were you given any gifts that were totally a surprise?  What about gifts that felt like they might have been lavished on you?  Jesus was the recipient and giver of lavished gifts.  Join me as we talk more about these gifts and focus on the new year.

The Christmas season brings countless reminders of God’s faithfulness. From prophecies spoken centuries before, to the humble birth of Jesus, we see the unfolding of God’s redemptive plan. In this episode we will focus on one powerful moment in this divine narrative that occurs when Simeon, an elderly man waiting for the consolation of Israel, praises God upon seeing the infant Jesus.
