“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given...” (Isaiah 9:6a, ESV)

In this episode, host Kate invites you to journey into one of the most profound prophecies of Jesus’ birth. Recognizing that Isaiah’s words can feel intimidating, Kate offers encouragement and practical tools to help you engage deeply with Scripture. In this intro episode to her eight-part Christmas series, she equips you with methods for Scripture memorization, annotation, and researching background information—skills that will enrich your understanding of the Bible.

Using Isaiah 9:1-7, Kate shows how these tools can reveal the promise of a child who would be the light in our darkness. This series is designed to prepare your heart to welcome Jesus this Christmas, with the assurance that our covenant-keeping God always provides a way out of darkness into light.

“...and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” (Psalm 23:6, ESV)

In this final episode of the Psalm 23 series, Kate invites listeners into the closing, celebratory promise of Psalm 23: “And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” This episode is a joyful, hope-filled reminder that God’s desire is for us to dwell with Him—not just for a season, but forever. Kate takes listeners on a journey from Genesis to Revelation, showing how God has always been making a way for His people to be near Him, from the Garden of Eden to the tabernacle, and ultimately through Jesus.

Kate paints a beautiful picture of God's relentless pursuit of intimacy with us. God doesn’t just want us in His “general area”—He invites us right into His home, close to His heart. While earthly kings and celebrities keep their distance, our Heavenly Father has no barriers, welcoming us into His presence joyfully. This is a call to step confidently into the promises of God and to remember that He doesn’t grow weary of our presence or send us away; instead, He has made a way for us to dwell with Him forever. If you’re longing for the assurance of God’s unwavering commitment and closeness, this episode will remind you that His goodness and mercy truly follow you, culminating in the joy of dwelling with Him in His house for eternity.

“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” (Psalm 23:6, ESV)

In this episode, Kate dives into the life-changing truth that God actively pursues us with His goodness and mercy, not because we’ve earned it, but because of His unshakable love for us. 

Have you ever doubted God's love when life feels overwhelming or questioned His goodness when things go wrong? Have you ever felt like you've been chased more by sorrows than by goodness and mercy?

Kate invites you to see God’s relentless pursuit through a new lens, encouraging you to let go of doubts, embrace the full story of His faithfulness, and trust that His love is chasing you—even in the hard times. What if you truly believed you were being pursued by God’s goodness and mercy? How would that transform your response to life’s sorrows?

Tune in as Kate helps you look beyond your circumstances and see the loving pursuit of a Father who never stops running after you.

"He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake." (Psalm 23:3, ESV)

“May you be covered in the dust of your rabbi.” That is a beautiful ancient Jewish blessing. The idea, as you may have figured out, is that the disciple is following his teacher so closely that the dust from the teacher’s feet as he walks is kicking up and covering the disciple. 

Today, Kate talks about the dust we want to be covered in as followers of our Rabbi, of our Shepherd, Christ.

Our dust is made up of three R’s: restoration, righteousness, and reputation. Where He leads, we must follow right behind. His feet will kick up restoration, righteousness, and reputation. May we follow so closely that we are covered from head to toe with the dust of our Rabbi.
