Have you ever felt like you’ve completely lost your way, or wondered how far God would actually go to bring you back? You are not alone. It is easy to look at Jesus' most famous stories as simple lessons about rescue, but when you look closer, they reveal a profound truth about human nature and the heart of the Creator. In this focused study, hosts Jana and Reata break down the multi-layered stories Jesus shared, organizing them into four distinct biblical categories. This series moves past surface-level storytelling to uncover the intentional patterns, prophetic secrets, and profound hidden truths left for us to discover.

We continue the journey with Episode 2: "The Lost and Found," unpacking a beautiful trilogy of stories from Luke 15: The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin, and The Prodigal Son. Together, we will discover how each illustration reveals a completely different way that things get lost—whether it's a sheep wandering off by accident, a coin lost by circumstances, or a son willfully walking away. Yet, through them all, the conclusion is always the same: a relentless search and an extravagant celebration.

Don't let the familiarity of these stories fool you. Grab your Bible, open your heart, and join us as we search out the hidden depths of "The Lost and Found" right here on the Tangible Talks podcast.

Have you ever read the parables and felt like you were missing the deeper picture? You are not alone. Even the disciples—the people who walked with Jesus daily—were often confused by these stories and had to pull Him aside to ask for their true meaning.

In this focused study, hosts Jana and Reata break down the multi-layered stories Jesus shared, organizing them into four distinct biblical categories. This series moves past surface-level storytelling to uncover the intentional patterns, prophetic secrets, and profound hidden truths left for us to discover.

We kick off the journey with Episode 1: "The Kingdom of Heaven," unpacking six foundational illustrations: The Mustard Seed, The Leaven, The Hidden Treasure, The Pearl of Great Price, The Weeds, and The Net. 
 
Throughout this series, we challenge you to approach every story with four paradigm-shifting questions:

• What does this tell us about the Kingdom?
• What does it reveal about Jesus?
• What does it reveal about the Father?
• And where exactly do you and I fit into the story?

Don't let the simplicity of these stories fool you. Grab your Bible, open your heart, and join us as we uncover the tangible, hidden blueprints of Scripture right here on the Tangible Talks podcast.

How does God speak when words aren’t enough? In the finale of our Patterns in Scripture series, Jana and Reata explore how God uses deeply personal supernatural encounters to communicate directly with His people.
In this episode, we discuss:

• The Divine Framework: Tracing dreams and visions from Genesis onward to show how God reveals His purpose, warns of danger, and uncovers future events.
• Modern Relevance: Addressing the vital question—do people still have dreams and visions today?
• A Timely Warning: Why we must prioritize prayer and the Word without dismissing these personal revelations, especially in today's days of deception.

Join the conversation: Tune in for an episode that is equal parts serious, insightful, and always practical for your everyday life!

Faith isn't a feeling you have to manufacture; it is a practical response to a trustworthy God. When your modern life feels chaotic, looking back at the unbroken biblical pattern of God's reliability gives you the concrete confidence to step forward today.
 
In this episode of Tangible Talks, hosts Jana and Reata continue their series, Patterns in Scripture, by examining the profound thread of Faith woven from Genesis to Revelation. Rather than treating faith as blind hope or mere intellectual agreement, the episode explores faith as an active, courageous trust anchored firmly in the historical actions, reliable word, and proven character of God.

Today, we are continuing our series, “Patterns in Scripture,” with an episode focused entirely on Redemption.

As we discovered in our first episode, “Boundaries and Divisions,” there are repeated threads woven throughout the Bible that reveal the ultimate nature and character of God. These patterns tell a cohesive story, revealing God's intricate plans. When we look at Scripture as one grand narrative written by a single Author, we get a clear view of the bigger picture—and recognizing these patterns brings about those incredible “aha!” moments.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• We explore what redemption truly means beyond a standard definition.
• We start at the very beginning of biblical history and work our way forward.
• How tracking this pattern gives us a clearer view of God's character and ultimate plan for humanity.

Thanks for joining us today as we dive into Redemption on TangibleTalks!

Welcome to TangibleTalks! In this episode of our Third Seed Series, we're discussing "When Success Becomes a Burden." Our culture tells us we can have it all, achieve it all, and do it all—but what is the emotional and spiritual cost of chasing that promise? Through the wisdom of Joshua Becker and the teachings of Jesus, we'll explore how the relentless pursuit of more can distract us from what truly matters. We'll discuss why true success often requires saying "no," choosing contentment over accumulation, and seeking God's kingdom above earthly treasures. Join us as we discover how letting go of what doesn't matter creates space for the life God intended us to live.

Welcome to TangibleTalks! Today we're exploring "Hidden Idols of the Heart"—the desires we often don't recognize that can quietly take God's rightful place in our lives. While we may not bow to carved idols, things like control, approval, comfort, security, power, and position can become objects of our worship when they consume our hearts. Drawing from Scripture, including the parable of the sower, Ezekiel's warning to Israel, and 1 John 2:16, we'll discuss how these hidden idols grow unnoticed, deceive us, and ultimately shape our thoughts, choices, and actions. Join us as we uncover how to recognize these subtle heart idols and redirect our worship to God alone.

In this episode of TangibleTalks, Jana and Reata explore the relationship between achievement and abiding, using John 14:6–14 as the foundation for their discussion. Reata honestly reflects on her tendency toward achievement and how abiding can sometimes seem passive, while Jana highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the two. Looking at Jesus’ example, they discuss how He first demonstrated what it means to abide in the Father before inviting His followers to abide in Him. Rather than simply giving instructions, Jesus modeled the process, showing that fruitful achievement flows from a place of connection and dependence on God. As part of the ongoing Third Seed series, the conversation examines how the distractions and pressures of life can crowd out this vital relationship, challenging listeners to pursue accomplishments that are rooted in abiding rather than striving alone.
