The In-between

As someone who has transitioned from feeling confident about their life direction to living a completely new life, it's easy to lose sight of who we are. This episode discusses our identity and purpose, aiming to encourage those who need to understand that they are children of God.

This season's series focuses on the foundation of Christianity. This episode is all about holiness: what it means, how we practice it, and examples of the holiness and perfection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

New Year’s brings new goals, and one of those goals is to strengthen our relationship with God. A great way to start this journey is by reading the Bible. In today’s episode, we will discuss how we personally read the Bible and explore different methods to help you get started.

Have you ever experienced a time in your life when you didn’t feel the weight of God’s judgment after you sinned? There comes a moment when we often feel trapped, as if we are merely reliving the same experiences repeatedly. We burden ourselves with the shame of our past or are drawn back by the temptations embedded in the memories of our former lives. As we sift through old photos, we might find ourselves comparing our past selves to who we are now, asking, “Why am I stuck?” We recognize that our former life did not glorify God, yet it sometimes feels as if it was a bit easier than the struggles we face now.

Being content with where you are at right now can be difficult, especially with all the comparisons. But understanding Trust, Security, and Contentment can help us be satisfied with our current situation.

As individuals who have recently embraced Christianity, many of us find ourselves hesitant to share the gospel or grappling with how we communicate with others and discuss them. It's crucial to recognize that how we use words plays a vital role in embarking on a Christian life and in our journey toward salvation.

During the transitional phase of being in the age group of 13-18, individuals face the challenging task of discovering their identity and understanding their place in relation to their faith. This period involves navigating through various experiences and trials, prompting both Malinda and me to engage in discussions and provide thoughtful answers to specific questions that arise during this critical stage of life.

Embracing rest and comfort is essential, but we must be mindful not to let it slip into idleness and laziness.

There are moments when we may feel dissatisfied with our present circumstances or ourselves. Yet, if we reflect on our starting point and compare it to where we are now, we'll realize that we've moved forward and are no longer in the same place we once were.

There are moments when we may feel like we are slowly losing hope, and during those times, we may not sense God's presence or hear His voice. We might feel trapped in numbness and silence. How can I trust that God has not abandoned me if I cannot feel or hear anything from Him?
