There is more to the meaning and message of Christmas than meets the eye. In this episode, Dot reminds us that God is a God of the much more; if we will be still and listen long enough, we will see God’s message is much more than we can image.

Write this Down:

Bethlehem means: “house of bread” and Jesus is the bread of life.

After hearing the news of her pregnancy from the angel Gabriel, Mary’s plans were unexpectedly replaced by God’s plans. If we feel discouraged by disappointments and unmet expectations this Christmas, Dot encourages us to remember the true meaning of Christmas and to respond in the same way as Mary.

Write This Down:

And Mary said, “I am the Lord’s servant, may it be to me as You have said.”

We all know that Thanksgiving will be different this year for everyone. In this episode, even in the midst of this incredibly difficult season, Dot takes a moment to remember the many blessings the Lord has given us. Not to take lightly the pain we are all facing, but to focus on what is good and true.

Write this Down:

Our hope is not found in our circumstances, but in Jesus alone.

Can praising God actually change our lives? It certainly did for Paul and Silas in Acts 16 as they saw first-hand how praise can open the prison doors to freedom. In this episode, Dot teaches on the idea that when we praise God, He will set us free.

Write this Down:

There is nothing that can defeat or destroy a child of God who chooses to praise God in each and every circumstance.

No matter what the world and darkness throws our way, we have a God who is sitting on His throne. Dot sits with us and challenges us to look beyond our circumstances and praise God because He alone is worthy.

Write this Down:

Take 30 days, or however long you feel led, and focus on praising God, regardless what is going on around you, and praise God for WHO He is.

Dot concludes her 3 part series on what it looks like to faithfully wait on God by looking through the lens of Abraham and Sarah’s story.

Write this Down:

Faith is our response to God. Our journey of faith is dependent on the way in which we live out our faith or response to God.

The longer Abraham and Sarah waited, the weaker their faith became in the waiting. Oh how true that is for most of us! In this episode, Dot teaches us how different life can look when we wait on God to fulfill His promises rather than take matters into our own hands.

Write this Down:

What is your Ishmael? The things you are tempted to do in your own strength or the dreams you are tempted to fulfill on your own because you feel like God is not fulfilling them.

Waiting on God and keeping the faith in the process is one of the most difficult things God may ask us to do. Dot begins a 3-part series on what it looks like to faithfully wait on God by looking at the life of Abraham.

Write This Down:

How do we keep the faith while we wait on God for directions for our life, for God to come through or for His will fulfilled in a certain situation:

“Waiting on God does not mean doing nothing. It means not going outside of His will while you do something.” Tony Evans

As we face difficult days and circumstances around us, as a follower of Jesus, what do we do? We pray. Through honest and vulnerable thoughts, Dot shares with us her own personal struggle of how do we separate the world’s view of life and God’s view of life? How do we be in the world, but not of it. She teaches us out of Jesus’ prayer in John 17 and reminds us to be about the Father’s business.

Write This Down:

Go before God and ask Him to protect your heart, protect your mind and to protect the choices you make throughout the day.
