Why do we do what we do, when we do not do what we want to do? 

Why is this? Why do we wrestle with what we want to do, what we DO NOT do, and then why we actually do what we do?

You might’ve found yourself not doing what you actually want to do because of areas in your story where you've learned a behavior from a trauma done from or to us. In today's episode Karrie helps us to actually take a look at our current behaviors and how they might be hindering us from doing the things we actually want to do.

We long to be deeply known...and we all have felt the risk of this. But what is the greater risk? Allowing ourselves to be fully known in community OR to be subject to the enemy's ploy in isolation?

Through life, we begin to gather data from experiences that can validate the enemy's lie that it is dangerous for us to reveal who we are to others and if we do "will I still be loved?". The good news, is that we can reframe this! This episode is for everyone, as we all have felt the heartache of being known before... and then rejected, yet all share a deep groaning to be loved as who God created us to be.

Proverbs 27:9-10 CSB

Where we can often navigate scripture by our personal projections, Dr. Scott emphasizes the importance of reading scripture through the intended cultural lens it was written and the danger of "cherry picking" from the Bible.

Today, Karrie is joined with musician, writer of @commoners_communion, spiritual director and author Strahan Coleman.

What is prayer, why do we pray, and how do we pray? It’s easy to get discouraged with prayer - so we need to re-frame it. Strahan chats about his revelation on how prayer isn’t about ‘performance’ for God, but about entering into a meaningful connection with Him. They discuss what it looks like practically to take thoughts from your brain and getting them into your body to be fully present in your relationship with God.

Overtime, we've seen that the practices of Lent have been adjusted to fit culture, but the tradition remains strong! This season of Lent is something many of us didn't know growing up. Today, Karrie takes us deeper into the meaning of this special season and how it can enrich our faith! Karrie goes through the different practices that are prayer, fasting, and giving, and enlightens us on the important concept of depriving ourselves from something to then draw nearer to the Lord. She poses the powerful question, "What can you give to the Lord during this Lent season?"
