In this episode we eat on the spiritual birthmarks that mark us as God's children, drawing parallels to how kids inherit their fathers' traits, just in time for Father's Day. Through Scriptures like Galatians 5:22-23, we unpack the fruit of the Spirit as divine imprints of our Heavenly Father, acknowledging that we sometimes struggle to live out these traits but grow through God's grace. We also eat on some of the other birthmarks of the believer like humility, love and then finally the assurance we have that we are one of His CHILDREN.

In this episode we eat on the story of the man who was healed at the pool of Bethesda in John 5:1-17, where this man waited for 38 years for a miracle that never came. That is until Jesus arrived. Through this story and other scriptures, we uncover the trap of pinning our hope on external fixes and discover how God's grace invites us to find wholeness and completeness right where we are. Your 44 is to take action now on letting go of our own "pools" and stepping into His mercy and grace that He so abundantly provides.

In this episode we eat on the importance of taking care of the ball. Here recently in the sweet 16 matchup between the Florida Gators and the Maryland Terrapins, the Gators went into the half in quite the predicament after turning the ball over 13 times. It was sloppy, uncharacteristic of them and had it continued they most surely would have lost the game. And so it is in life sometimes where we become careless and mindless about what we've been entrusted with the take great care over.
- What is that thing in your life that you have fumbled or become carless with? 
- Have you forgotten to love what is precious? 
- If so, how can I hold it tighter…not with a clenched up fist or a shovel in hand ready to dig a hole and bury it (Matt. 25) but with open hands and open arms lifted up to the ONE who gave it to me in the first place?
