Today's Talk Podcast

Can you believe we're already seven weeks in and we have a couple more episodes to go. Then we'll take a small little break and then we'll be back with another series. I was like, Lord, I really want to do this well. and I feel like God just deposited some things to share with you. I'm super excited to share Mark 12:31 with you. "Love your neighbor as yourself" and I want you to know that the theme of this episode is love and compassion. Do not check out on me yet, okay, because love and compassion is so vital to a Christian walk and maybe you're like, "I don't want to associate with Christians because that doesn't really sound like my thing because there's been a lot of stuff going on and sometimes Christians aren't that nice."

I get it. Just hold on tight because we're not looking at people...

We're looking at the word of God and Jesus is our example... so let's focus on that, and keep that the main thing because that should be our Center and our focus and our source ALWAYS.

In this episode, we discuss Jeremiah 29:11 and its context as a message of hope and purpose. We want to trust in God's plans for our lives, just as God said through Jeremiah's message to the Israelites. There is an assurance of God's plans for our welfare and future. There is comfort and hope found in this promise.

You are here and there is an importance of purpose and meaning in your life. Trusting in God's plans to come to fruition in our lives can bring clarity and direction.

Who needs clarity and direction?!

There have been times in my own life where I had to trust that God would reveal the very next step, not even the next year, but the next step. The challenge is in the waiting, but oh how rewarding the patience and perseverance turns out to be!

You want to remain steadfast in faith (I know it's difficult, trust me) while awaiting God's fulfillment of His plans. I hope the closing prayer bring you encouragement as you listen or watch the latest episode.

Scripture references other than key verse: Romans 8, Romans 5 Next episode: Love your neighbor as yourself Mark 12:31

The reason why it's so important for us to cast our cares on the Lord because he cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 - key verse) is because the enemy is always trying to come at us, and we're going to talk about that in this episode and more. We're going to discuss finding peace through surrendering our worries to God. Here's something that I heard years ago that have kind of adopted and I share with a lot of people: surrender + obedience = balance; God is the ultimate balancer.

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength" is the goal here friends but let me back up a little bit and read verses 11 and 12 to you as well. "Not that I was ever in need." Paul says "for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation whether it is full with a full stomach or empty with plenty or little and then it says in that portion of scripture for I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength." Listen to the significance of this source and inspiration; it is pretty Divine friends. If you read the history on Paul and where he is at and learning the challenges that he is facing in the strength that he must draw from Christ. It says that Paul wrote this letter to the Philippians in prison. I don't know if you've ever done any kind of study on what it looks like in a prison in Rome, but I can guarantee you that it was not cupcakes and rainbows. It says Philippi was the site of a key military Victory by Justice Caesar and as a result, it was made a Roman Colony Philippi was the first city in present day Europe where Paul established a church. so, friends This is a big deal. He is writing to the Church of Philippi, and he is saying to them. Hey guys, I'm in prison right now. I know what it's like to live with a lot and with nothing and I know what it's like to have Christ as my strength. For my source of strength and so as we venture to learn a little bit more about what this means for us today and our walk with Christ. I would challenge you to read a little bit more on history and learn that if you are in America listening to this, we really don't have it that bad.

This is episode two of a ten-week episode series sharing verses that helped Coach Bridget's healing journey after the trauma and abuse that she faced in her life, and she wants to share these victory verses with you.

Coach Bridget is excited to share Psalm 23:1 with you. But really, we're kind of going to focus on the whole Psalm 23 because why would we not focus on the whole thing when the title is literally the Lord the Shepherd of his people, this is a Psalm of David King David. I love that we have this scripture to use as a reference for us!

One really great resource and study on Psalm 23 is a book by Louie Giglio called Don't Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table.

Trust and Obey Hymn

1 When we walk with the Lord in the light of his word, what a glory he sheds on our way! While we do his good will, he abides with us still, and with all who will trust and obey.

Refrain: Trust and obey, for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

2 Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil he doth richly repay; not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey. [Refrain]

3 But we never can prove the delights of his love until all on the altar we lay; for the favor he shows, for the joy he bestows, are for them who will trust and obey. [Refrain]

4 Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at his feet, or we'll walk by his side in the way; what he says we will do, where he sends we will go; never fear, only trust and obey. [Refrain]

In a world filled with noise, it is easy to overlook the impact of our words and actions. But little do we realize that they shape the course of our lives and influence the lives of others. Today, we explore the significance of being mindful about what we say and do through a biblical perspective.

Our journey of self-reflection takes us back to the wisdom found in the book of Proverbs, chapter 18, verse 21, which states, "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

Every word we speak holds potential; a potential to uplift, comfort, and inspire. But likewise, it also carries the power to wound, discourage, and even destroy. Our tongue can create life-giving connections or sever valuable relationships.

Let us remember that our words have an eternal impact, not only on our earthly relationships but also on our spiritual journey. As followers of the biblical principles, it is crucial to pay attention to the words we choose and the message they convey.

Let us remember that our words have an eternal impact, not only on our earthly relationships but also on our spiritual journey. As followers of the biblical principles, it is crucial to pay attention to the words we choose and the message they convey.

Words rarely stand alone; they intertwine with our actions, breathing life into our character. This brings us to the biblical truth found in the book of James, chapter 1, verse 22: "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."

It is not enough to simply speak words of kindness and love. Our actions must align with our words, resonating with the world around us. People are not persuaded or affected by empty words; rather, they are drawn to authentic displays of compassion, gratitude, and empathy.

As believers, we are called not only to speak the truth but to live it. In the book of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 16, we are reminded, "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

Our words and actions are the mirror in which others perceive us. They reflect the values and principles we hold dear. Let us remember that we are representatives of a greater power, ambassadors of compassion, and grace here on Earth.

May we always choose our words wisely, mindful of their power, and may our actions be a testament to our faith, shining a light into the world. For in the end, it is through our words and actions that we create a tapestry of love, compassion, and shepherding for others to follow.

Pay attention to your words, pay attention to your actions, pay attention to the impact you have on the world.
