the remind{h}er podcast

One of the many things I've been learning recently is the distinction between memorizing Scripture and remembering it. There's a difference between memorizing the words and remembering the message. The latter deeply impacts the people we are becoming and forms us into the people God calls us to be. Today we're exploring what it might practically look like for "the Word of Christ to dwell in us richly." (Colossians 3:16). Listen in.

We are called to remember. I say that a lot around here. But what about when we'd rather forget? What about when the memories are difficult? What does it look like to faithfully hold a painful past?

I don't have all the answers, but those questions are questions I've wrestled with for years in my own life. In today's episode, we consider what that might look like, trusting that looking back often helps us move forward. Listen in.

I am not a natural-born hostess, but I am learning that hospitality is part of our call as followers of Jesus. Hospitality is different than hosting. It goes beyond the walls of our homes and the boundaries of our comfort zones. It's a posture we extend to the world around us. If you often feel pressure to host well or appear like you have it all together, listen in.

It can be easy to feel so overwhelmed by all that is broken in this world and assume there is nothing we can do to fix it; we might as well just turn the other way. Or it's easy to feel pressure to do something big and loud in order to matter, in order to avoid wasting our time away.

But I'm learning there is power in playing it small. And in the Kingdom of God, small can be significant. Listen in.

Even though I'm a deep feeler, awhile ago I learned how to control my tears. I often chose not to cry, even if deep down I wanted to. That all changed a little over a year ago when I made a commitment to cry. If I felt like crying, I would. Good or bad.

It's been a year of learning to welcome my tears and listen to the messages they carry. In this episode, I invite you to join me.

This past weekend, I took some time to replant my Christmas cactus. It's leaves were dark and drooping and I could tell it was time for some fresh soil and a larger pot. In this, I was reminded of our need for fresh spiritual soil, especially when the fruit of our lives does not reflect the way of Jesus. What's on the outside is often directly correlated with what's on the inside. And sometimes to continue being transformed, we need to be transplanted. Listen in.

As we continue to experience chaos within and all around, I've felt myself longing for peace. In this episode, we explore what peace means and looks like in the context of our faith. The peace of Christ is both something we experience personally and something we are called to share with the world around us. We find peace when we practice it and pass it along in the context of our actual lives. What might that look like? Listen in.

I am usually all about the fresh start of a new year. But in entering 2021, after a year like 2020, I find myself hesitating, cautious, and taking it slow. I feel a bit intimidated by the uncertainty of what lies ahead. But over the past few weeks, we've celebrated and been reminded of God With Us, and I'm remembering how that also means God goes before us. If you find yourself tiptoeing into the new year rather than leaping, listen in.

As we wrap up 2020, here is one more reminder to carry into 2021. I've been learning to trust that God does significant work behind the scenes and that God's faithfulness does not depend on our awareness of it. We might not be able to see or feel it, but when we reflect and remember, we can trace the thread of God's faithfulness all throughout our lives, realizing we never were and never are forgotten or alone. God is at work through God With Us. Listen in.

I wanted to do something special on the podcast during Advent and what I came up with is, well, pretty unoriginal. But I think it might be exactly what we need right now. After such a crazy and heavy year, I hope the simplicity of this four week series is an unexpected gift this Advent season.

Listen in as we read and reflect on this familiar Christmas passage: Luke 2: 1-20

I would love to hear what resonated with you throughout the series!
