  • 066: 4 Ways to Sharpen Your Spiritual Discernment

    When tellers or retail workers learn about counterfeits, they don’t study fake bills. Instead, they study real ones. Fake ones can change every day. But the real government-issued ones set the standard. The same for us who walk with God. We can’t study every false teaching, doctrine, minister or person. We have to go to the source—the Scriptures in order to know what is right and what is wrong. Elisabeth Elliot, the late speaker and teacher, said “The Word of God I think of as a straight edge, which shows up our own crookedness. We can't really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.”

  • 065: God is a Gracious Host...And What You Can Learn From Him

    It’s in God’s nature to show hospitality. In fact, Genesis 1 is an example of His stellar hospitality skills. Evening turns to morning, and as each new day begins, God makes preparation for His special guests. After He completes a task, He makes a declaration: "It is good." 

    But the Fall estranges man from God and the relationship is no longer the same.  Even though man rejects Him, God relentlessly works throughout the next centuries to restore and bring mankind back into an unbroken communion with Him. He finds a willing few, like Abraham, to whom he extends the invitation of being a friend of God and the promise that this friendship will be a blessing to all nations. And today, He is still extending Himself in hospitality as a model for us today.

  • 061: Ruth 1 - When It Rains, It Pours

    Ruth 1 opens with a family driven out of the Promised Land—the house of bread literally—to Moab. Instead of living in fruitfulness in the bread basket, this family has already faced famine, death and widowhood—and there are no mention of sons born, so add barrenness to the list. With this episode, we are starting a four-week study of Ruth.

  • Bonus Episode: Come Study the Book of Ruth with Me

    God is such a kind, generous and caring God. The book of Ruth reveals all of this about our Creator. It can be easy to think of Ruth as a handbook on how to nab your Boaz, but oh, this book is about so much more!

    In this four-week Unfolding Words podcast study, we will dive into God’s Word and see just how good God is and how His plan can unfold even in the most unlikely situations. Through this study, you will learn to slow down and look around to discover truths you may have never seen before. 


    The study begins on: Monday, September 9 on the Unfolding Words podcast. 

    The first Facebook Live will be Thursday, September 12 in the Unfolding Words Facebook group.

  • 060: The Grass Ain't Always Greener: Learning to Trust What God Has For You

    When Abraham and his family reentered Canaan after making a choice to briefly enter Egypt, they returned with great wealth—livestock, silver and gold. They came to the region around Bethel and there a bit of a conflict broke out between the herders of Abraham and those of his nephew Lot. Abraham was faced with a choice regarding the limitations of the land. God tells Abram to look North, South, East and West, and everything he sees will be his.

    While Lot chose the city—he was also choosing boundaries. He was bound in physically by the gates of the city and also spiritually by the sinful restrictions of that city. Sin always looks like freedom at first—but if you know the story of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah, it’s anything but. 

    Abraham let God choose for him and there were no bounds on His provision—it was wherever his feet could take him. This week my pastor taught on the phrase “much more” and how that’s what God wants to give us. This is clearly evident that this is the nature of God. He wants to give us much more than our eye can see.

  • 059: Walk This Way: What Jesus' Walking Teaches You About Your Purpose

    Growing up, we used to sing the gospel song Traveling Shoes. As a kid, I never understand the need for shoes if you were traveling to heaven. But clearly, I was missing the larger point. When you look at the scriptures, it’s clear that shoes are needed—spiritually and physically because God calls us to be pilgrims as wanderers in this world. Not just because we are on our way to heaven but because he has a goal for us down here—and that’s to spread His glory. And you can’t do that if you are standing still. 

    In this episode:

    - Abraham was a wanderer, setting up altars to establish worship on enemy turf.

    - Jesus filled the earth with His glory as he walked the earth.

    - Your life is an opportunity to spread God’s glory and take territory for Him.

  • 058: Kim Cash Tate on Clinging to the God of the Scriptures, Learning to Surrender & Living Out God's Dream for Your Life

    Kim Cash Tate is one my favorite people. We are really kindred spirits—both with a love for God’s Word and teaching the scriptures. We met about a decade ago over Twitter and built up a friendship and later started a group on Periscope called Perisisters In Christ where we encouraged women in the Word.

    On this episode, Kim and I talk about the importance of studying God’s Word, how she developed a love for the scriptures and how surrendering her life—and her dreams to God led to a grand adventure that she’s now walking out after much prayer and patience.
