Change is something we all face, but why is it so scary and frustrating? How should we approach change as followers of Christ? In this episode, Isabella shares her perspective of change and celebrates the first year of Up and at 'Em.

We can often overlook how the simple and obvious "Christian" habits can really change our lives. Praying, reading the Bible daily, and choosing to intentionally rest can bring us closer to God and make it a little easier to trust in Him.

Have you ever really considered idolatry? Even though it is not regularly discussed, idolatry is one of the easiest sins to slip into, and Isabella learned this lesson firsthand. Luckily, idolatry can be fought, but it begins with an awareness of its severity.

As she concludes her studies of Matthew, Isabella takes us back to the beginning of the book to talk about romantic relationships and what they look like. Mary and Joseph are often talked about individually, but how their individual faiths come together to pursue God is rarely addressed.

Jesus is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Savior of the world, but we often don't pay attention to the fact that He lived a human life too. Jesus's humanity connects us to Him in so many ways, and this can be seen by putting ourselves in His shoes during the moments of His betrayal. He understands where we are because He has been there Himself.

Bags of gold, oil lamps, laziness, ten virgins, procrastination...this episode has it all. Isabella takes a deeper dive into Matthew 25 and how we can connect the lessons about being expectant and active to our own lives.

As she continues reading familiar stories in Matthew, Isabella keeps learning new things she never thought of. This episode dives into Isabella's takeaways from Matthew 9 and the story of the little girl who was once dead and then raised to life.

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day! While romantic love might be on your mind, that is not the greatest love there is. Jesus's love transcends anything and everything, but there's a critical factor we often miss: His Law! How does the Law relate to His love? Check out this episode to hear more lessons from Isabella's study of Matthew.

Rereading familiar Bible stories can give us an incredibly different understanding of their messages. The feeding of the five thousand in Matthew 14 taught Isabella a new lesson that she shares in this episode. We are never enough, but that doesn't mean we cannot do what God has called us to do.

One of the best ways to show how amazing it is to follow Jesus is to talk about the faith with other believers. AsUp and at 'Em's first ever guest, we welcome Alexis Powell as she discusses what she is actively learning in a chronological Bible study.
