Top 5 Things to Look for in a Church Nov 11, 2022

Show notes

Hey, fam! One of the most common questions we are asked is how to find the right church or know what to look for in your search for a church to call home. In this episode, we share some thoughts and considerations to have when comparing churches. We strongly encourage you to saturate your church search in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to where He wants you to be. Be blessed!

Verse of the Day - Acts 2:42-47, “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”

You Are More Than Your Trials Featuring Ezekiel Chapman Sep 30, 2022

Show notes

Hello dear friends! Today we have a really special show because it features our good friend and brother in the Lord, Ezekiel Chapman, or “Zeke” for short. Zeke has been a family friend of ours for over nearly two decades and has quite a powerful testimony. He was on the show a few years back sharing about his struggles with suicidal thoughts and how Jesus met him where he was and not only saved his life, but his soul too. Zeke talks on the various creative outlets he is pursuing, to include sharing a never before publicly heard poem that he wrote over the course of 10 years and after being diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. You get to hear it here first and we consider that such an honor! If you wrestle with mental illness, dark thoughts, or perhaps know someone close to you who does, “Covina Vance” (Zeke’s artist name) has a lot of encouraging material coming soon in the form of reading and listening materials. You can find out more at the links below:
Dial “988” to reach the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline if you need to talk to someone but don’t have anyone you feel comfortable talking to.

Verse of the Day:
“Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” - Hebrews‬ ‭4:14-16‬

What We Wish We Knew Sooner: On Marriage Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

Hello friends! Thanks so much for being here! This episode is the beginning of a new series we are going to implement from time to time on the show called, “What We Wish We Knew Sooner.” The heart behind this segment is to offer encouragement and perspective to those who are perhaps one stage behind us in life and are looking for a more fresh perspective than someone, say, from your parents’ generation. We are in no way saying that it’s a bad thing to go to much older folks for perspective (on the contrary we suggest you DO!), but our motive for this comes from a place in our hearts to mentor those behind us however we can. Tune in hear us share some things we wish we knew before getting married.

How to Not Become Jaded Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

You don't have to live long to experience situations that can leave you hurt, suffering, and ultimately hard-hearted. In this episode, we look at some examples in Scripture of how certain characters handled adversity in a way that honored God when they had every reason to become jaded and bitter. Part of the human experience is going through trials, but thank God He provides us with the power to break free from cynicism and to not hold resentment in our hearts when we are continually wronged. May you rest in the power of Christ, for when we are weak, He is strong.
