Welcome back To the Table. In today’s conversation, we’re chatting about engagement and dating. There are so many nuggets of wisdom, sprinkled throughout this episode, that are helpful to anyone in any season, not just those who are looking for “the one”. I get to share a little bit about how Justin and I came to be, and how the Lord, in his perfect timing, brought us together. Every single time, the Lord’s timing and plans for me, have always SO far exceeded my own plans, dreams, desires, etc. I don’t always (well, hardly ever, honestly) enjoy the waiting, but I believe He does have good plans for those who seek after him. This God - His way is perfect (Ps. 18:30)

1 Timothy 4:12 - Let no one despise you for your youth, butset the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Passion & Purity: Elizabeth Elliot - https://a.co/d/jdkOJ2S

Romans 12:2 - Do not be conformed to this world, but betransformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

1 Corinthians 3:11 - For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 

James 1:5 - If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

I Corinthians 7:6-9 Now as a concession, not a command,I say this. I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another. To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Proverbs 15:22 - Without counsel plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed.

Proverbs 12:15 - The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

Psalm 16:5-6 - The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

Welcome backTo the Table.In today’s conversation, we’re hearing all the sweet details, well maybe not all but a lot, of how Jenna and Brian met. It was quite a whirlwind – going from single to engaged in 8 days and married 2 months later. This story is so heavily sprinkled with examples of God’s faithfulness, working intricate details together to create a marriage that reflects Him. Jenna’s story highlights the importance of community support, divine timing, and the role of faith in relationships. Listen as she shares wisdom from that season and encourages others who may be waiting for that someone special.

Welcome back To the Table. We are excited to have our very first guests on the podcast this week, none other than our own husbands. As we kick off this month of love, we thought it would only be right to invite our husbands to the table to talk about our own marriages. Listen in as we discuss the hard things, easy things, and everything in between. If nothing else, I would encourage you to use the questions below to start the conversation with your spouse.

Welcome back To the Table. We’ve mentioned Hebrews 10:23-25 several times now – it could probably be our theme verse for the podcast at this point. But, for a moment, sit in what Paul is encouraging believers to do: “consider how to stir up one another to love and good deeds”, “not neglecting to meet together”, “encouraging one another”. It is hard to truly live out the call in these verses, without sharing life with others – not just the really put together things in life, but the not so put together pieces too. In this conversation, we’re talking about what it looks like to be honest in community, surrounding yourself with women in different seasons, so that we all walk together, leaning on each other and encouraging each other along.

Show Notes🗒️

Hebrews 10:23-25 – Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Psalm 34:13 – Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

James 3:7-8 – For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Titus 2:3-5 – Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Philippians 4:8 – Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

Ephesians 4:14-16 – so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Welcome back To the Table.

What are you waiting for? Are you in a season of waiting? If so, trust me, I’m right there with you. It’s not a good time. Today, we’re answering the “waiting” questions. I’ve heard all my life to “wait on the Lord”. What does that really mean? How does my perspective change when I consider that He’s right there with me? In the midst of the waiting, He is right there to strengthen me, comfort me, and give me His peace. We hope you leave this conversation encouraged. No promises that it will be fun or even comfortable. But, He has promised to be there, to use all the things – the good, the bad, and the ugly – and to strengthen you. And He who promised is faithful (Heb. 10:23).

Psalm 139:1-6 – O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.  You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

Matthew 1:23 – “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).

Ps. 130:5-6 – I will wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for morning.

Lamentations 3:25-26 – The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.

Isaiah 40:27-31 – Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God?” Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Welcome back To the Table. It seems only appropriate that today’s episode is all about peace. Where does our peace come from? How do you find peace when things aren’t going to way you want them to? How do you share peace with others? We hope you leave this conversation feeling encouraged regardless of what is happening around you – HE is our peace, and He never leaves us.

John 14:25-27 – These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Proverbs 3:5 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not

1 Kings 19:11-12 – And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper.

Galatians 5:22-23 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Matthew 5:9 – Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

2 Corinthians 1:20 – For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.

Romans 12:18 – If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

John 16:33 – I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.

1.5 – Welcome back To The Table. It’s that time. New year, new rhythms, new you…or so we’re told. But what if this new year could just be that – a new year. If you’re ready for a fresh start or feel the Holy Spirit leading you to start something new, by all means, jump in. If you’re moving along steady, in a good rhythm for your in, settle in. We’ll be your excuse to let go of finding the “new you” or starting 15 new things on January 1st. After you listen to this conversation, we hope you feel encouraged to move forward listening to the Holy Spirit and living in the grace (and new mercies) the Lord gives us each day.
