This One Thing Podcast

This week on "This One Thing" you are invited to meditate on the foundation of your relationship with God: FAITH. Join Kerri Kenyon Dern and guest Crystal Wright as they discuss Hebrews 11:6 which proclaims, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

Life presents us with impossible challenges that cause us to wrestle with what we truly put our faith in. How do we hold fast to faith when we cannot see answers to the troubles we face? How do we fight the temptation to believe God is withholding or punishing us when suffering comes our way? This week’s verse challenges us to reflect upon what it means to walk out a sincere faith, and encourages us with the unchanging promise that God does reward the faithfulness of those who trust in Him.

Melina Puente joins Kerri for another week in Romans 8 and together they share truth, real life applications and a choice as verse 15 challenges them on a personal level.

Crystal Wright joins Kerri to unpack Jeremiah 9:24, a timely, pertinent and imperative verse highlighting God's character, priorities and heart for us. Be encouraged by this powerful passage that also serves as a daily challenge for us to focus on who He is instead of being caught up in the tangible, temporary things of this world. 

Do you need to be reminded of God's supreme authority over everything you're experiencing? Do you find yourself distracted by temporal things instead of focusing your heart and mind on the eternal? Together we'll choose to prioritize a deeper understanding of who God is; His kindness, justice and righteousness. As Jeremiah urges us, let's boast in Him alone!
