In this episode of The Secret Place, Derek shares the story of Joshua, just after the passing of Moses. God gives Joshua a personal promise and commandment which is the same as what He gives us today. "I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you and will never forsake you. Now be strong and of good courage."

If God is with us then who can be against us.

In this episode of The Secret Place, Derek shares from the book of James which says that we are to be doers of the word and not just hearers. In the context of God's word, Derek defines the word 'doer' as a 'poetic performer,' or having an imaginative and emotive engagement with the word of God. 

Become a poetic performer of God's word today, a doer, so that we may be transformed in the mirror that we look into each day.

In this episode of The Secret Place, Derek explains that we are a tri-part being, meaning that we are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body. Derek explains the importance of knowing this as it will allow to grow closer to God and work in unison with the Holy Spirit. 

Derek focus on our soul in this episode and how we can nourish it through God's word. God wants us ultimately to get to know Him first rather than focusing only on the Bible, because as you love the person behind the word, you will begin to completely trust His words.
