Hello!! So today I’m circling back a bit episode 38 where I talked about imposter syndrome and community and also episode 39 about useful in God’s kingdom. And I want to talk about biblical community and the “wounds of a friend.”

No one likes correction but it’s always worth it to spur one another on to good works and stop each other in our tracks when we’re heading for sin.

Thanks so much for listening!

Feedback is alway appreciated! And if there’s anything you’d like to hear about or have questions about, I’d love to search through God’s word for you (us) and prayerfully share how we should think about or approach whatever it is with a biblical world view! And not all of my opinions and answers will be perfect, but Lord willing, I will continually be sanctified and grow in the truth of God’s word. :)

Hello! This is a shorter episode but a reminder to always rely on God and His goodness, sovereignty, faithfulness, and steadfast loving kindness. We have to always trust His ways are higher than our ways. Easier said than done. But important to drown ourselves in the word of God and minister to our own hearts with these reminders.

Get to work!!! No really, I’m talking about getting to work this episode and it may be a different kind of work but that’s ok! We’re still called to work and be faithful where we are.

I hope you can find this helpful! Thanks so much for listening!

This episode is for the woman who desperately wants Christian community but feels awkward, insecure, or like she doesn’t quite belong. We’ll look at what the Bible actually tells us about how Christian women are called to live alongside one another—not waiting until we feel confident or have the “right” friendships, but choosing to show up, encourage, serve, bear burdens, teach, and be known.

I hope you find this encouraging!

Hey there!!!

Thanks for being patient with me the past couple weeks as I didn’t share episodes on my regularly scheduled program.

But today I’m just sharing with you some quick encouraging highlights from this years VBS with my church.

I shared two questions from the Heidelberg catechism and I encourage you to read this slowly and see the proof texts!

Q & A 1

Q. What is your only comfort

in life and in death?

A. That I am not my own,1

but belong—body and soul,

in life and in death—2

to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.3

He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,4

and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.5

He also watches over me in such a way6

that not a hair can fall from my head

without the will of my Father in heaven;7

in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.8

Because I belong to him,

Christ, by his Holy Spirit,

assures me of eternal life9

and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready

from now on to live for him.10

1 1 Cor. 6:19-20

2 Rom. 14:7-9

3 1 Cor. 3:23; Titus 2:14

4 1 Pet. 1:18-19; 1 John 1:7-9; 2:2

5 John 8:34-36; Heb. 2:14-15; 1 John 3:1-11

7 Matt. 10:29-31; Luke 21:16-18

8 Rom. 8:28

9 Rom. 8:15-16; 2 Cor. 1:21-22; 5:5; Eph. 1:13-14

10 Rom. 8:1-17

What do you understand

by the providence of God?

A. The almighty and ever present power of God1

by which God upholds, as with his hand, heaven

and earth and all creatures,2 and so rules them that leaf and blade, rain and drought, fruitful and lean years, food and drink, health and sickness, prosperity and poverty—3

all things, in fact,

come to us not by chance4

but by his fatherly hand.5

1 Jer. 23:23-24; Acts 17:24-28

2 Heb. 1:3

3 Jer. 5:24; Acts 14:15-17/a>; John 9:3; Prov. 22:2

4 Prov. 16:33

5 Matt. 10:29

Today I’m sharing our reasons for who we do a simple question and answer catechism with our kids.

here is the question I mentioned in the podcast for an example

Heidelberg catechism Q & A 21:

Question:

What is true faith?

Answer:

True faith is not only a sure knowledge by which I hold as true all that God has revealed to us in Scripture; (1 John 17:3, 17; Heb. 11:1-3; James 2:19)

it is also a wholehearted trust ( Rom. 4:18-21; 5:1; 10:10; Heb. 4:14-16)

which the Holy Spirit creates in me (Matt. 16:15-17; John 3:5; Acts 16:14)

by the gospel, (Rom. 1:16; 10:17; 1 Cor. 1:21)

that God has freely granted, not only to others but also to me (Gal. 2:20)

forgiveness of sins, eternal righteousness, and salvation (Rom. 1:17; Heb. 10:10)

These are gifts of sheer grace, granted solely by Christ’s merit ( Rom. 3:21-26; Gal. 2:16; Eph. 2:8-10

The catechism we use with my kids can be found here:
