The Narrow Gate Podcast

Okay so we know we talked all about how God doesn't play favorite last week, but we sure do.  Today we're taking some time to share our favorite things -- everything from our favorite mystery of the rosary to our favorite guilty pleasure movies.  If you're feeling a little let down by your day to day routine, play along and incorporate more of your favorite things into your everyday life. 

We're so glad you're here and we invite you to curl up on the couch with us each week for real talk, inspiration, and humor on your journey through the narrow gate that leads toward abundant life.

After the show, join the conversation on our Instagram page @narrowgatepodcast or send us an email to [email protected]with your answers to this week's questions.

You can follow Krista (@kristasteele_), Catherine (@crudy11), and Holly (@shearerstrength) on Instagram for more encouragement, inspiration and laughs.

Join us today as we explore the topic of service?  What really counts when it comes to service and how do you fit it in when your heart and schedule are already bursting at the seams?  Could it be as simple as sending a birthday card or making a pot of soup?  Are we doing what God has set out for us or are we doing what we think we should do?  Maybe living a service-driven life is just a simple change of heart away. 

So it turns out God isn't like our grandparents.  He doesn't play favorites.  He's got enough to go around and never gets tired of showing up big for us.  

Is there a favorite child in your family?  Maybe you're the favorite or maybe it's one of your siblings, but either way, it's easy to let our human understanding of favor cloud what we believe is "appropriate" to ask God for.  This week, Holly dives deep into the concept of favor and challenges the whole crew to ask God to show up in BIG ways!

It's in our nature to worship.  We, as humans, are made to stand in awe and wonder.  The trouble is, we tend to have the attention span of a gnat and so find ourselves looking everywhere at everything but God, wondering why feel so empty, wondering why we're still not satisfied.  Today we're talking about idols, those sticky beliefs and distractions that keep us from directing our praise where it belongs.

Have you ever felt like God put a dream on your heart and then left you hanging?  Have you ever felt like your day to day life is just an "in the meantime" season while you're waiting for something bigger?  Have you ever felt lonely, anxious, and afraid that God won't bring to reality the vision on your heart?  If so, this one's for you.

What is mercy?  And why is it so hard to be merciful.  Maybe it's because it can sometimes feel like by choosing to be merciful we're choosing to be a doormat.  But that's not really true.  To really understand mercy, we need to look at the scriptures and watch closely the examples of Jesus and the saints.

This week Holly leads a thought provoking discussion on living abundantly in our physical bodies.  Scripture reminds us that our bodies are temples and that the Lord is for the body and the body is for the Lord.  Heck, we are the body of Christ.
