Really knowing what has been done for us, through Jesus' life and sacrifice is enough to bring you to your knees.  Knowing what is being done in us through Jesus resurrection and ascension is enough to cause us to rejoice! The arrival of a little baby in the manger is just the beginning of the good news of the Gospel, but it is news enough to change your whole outlook.   

In this second weekend of Advent we look forward to the power of hope to bring peace as we wait for so many things. Clayton and Dan discuss how surrender to the Holy Spirit, and choosing the feast of hope is a choice available to all and especially close to the believer. 

Advent season has begun and even though we just came through Thanksgiving it's time to look forward towards the entrance of Jesus. 

Robert gave a great message from Isiah about the hills of life and the mountain of the Lord and the "Already but Not Yet" nature of the 

promises of God. It's always enjoyable to have new voices on the pod and we hope you enjoy this convo as much as we did!

Jesus asked his Father to draw future believers into a Unity that is so amazing it causes spectators to be amazed. 

Clayton and Dan welcome special guest Robert Russel to the pod as they discuss what the process of being transformed into the likeness of Christ is like AND how they couldn't do it without their amazing spouses!

Who lives with you? Who gives you advice when you need it? What is your relationship like? 

In this pod Dan and Clayton discuss how the Holy Spirit guides us and encourages us into all truth, and how we can grow more comfortable and familiar with His voice and prompts. 

What does it mean to make space for a relationship with a real person (Jesus) in the middle of difficulty and struggle? Knowing Jesus and not just knowing "about" him fundamentally changes where the outcome of your life is headed. 

This week Clayton spoke on John 14 where Jesus tells us that we can ask him anything and he will do it (if it glorifies the Father). We also looked at James 4 where we are reminded that asking for things that only glorify us will lead to frustration.  The key is to listen to the Holy Spirit, the actual desires and DNA of the Kingdom of God and let it guide us in our requests. 

How then can we know who we are listening to? #isitfruity 

Jesus washes feet, His disciples miss the whole point, and He promises to show them a better way of leadership and service.

How is it that a King, all powerful, all knowing, full of justice is also full of a humble love? Todays solo pod explores those questions and provokes us to deeper thought on how we might go and do likewise in our own lives.
