How Do I Trust God and Try Again? | Mini Quiet Time Dec 25, 2022

Show notes

Simon Peter was one of the most prominent and powerful of Jesus’ disciples. He was bold in the face of discouragement and heartbreak. He led countless people through darkness to find God, and his impact is still felt today.

But before there was the persistently faithful Peter, surrounded by thousands of changed lives, there was simply Simon, a tired fisherman in a boat with no fish, who had no idea that the best of his life was yet to come. Check out our new Mini Quiet Time to learn more about how to trust God and try again.

How To Love Vulnerability | One Quick Thought Dec 19, 2022

Show notes

When we love vulnerability, we will open our hearts to God and others. If we're afraid of vulnerability, we'll close up our hearts in pride and won't admit our insecurities, weaknesses, thoughts, motives, and emotions. We may become embarrassed or angry at anything or anyone that pushes us to be vulnerable. Open hearts embrace vulnerability, trusting that God will make up for whatever we may be lacking.

Check out our newest One Quick Thought to learn more about how to love vulnerability.

What Does it Mean to Be Strong? | Mini Quiet Time Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

Vulnerability is usually not the first thing we associate with being strong, but the Bible tells us true strength actually comes from embracing our weaknesses. If you don’t feel this way about your weaknesses, don’t worry. The apostle Paul, who we'll meet in this mini-quiet time, didn't feel that way at first either.

Join us as we learn how this self-reliant and self-righteous man became one of the most powerful, influential spiritual leaders in the New Testament by embracing vulnerability.

Why Vulnerability Helps Us See Our Need For God | One Quick Thought Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

In this new segment of our podcast, Deep Spirituality Editor-in-Chief Russ Ewell gives us one quick thought about walking with God to start our week.

At Deep Spirituality, our goal is to practice simple Christianity, where we believe God loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us. We want to provide anyone and everyone access to the tools they need to build this kind of personal relationship with God.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

John 3:16-17 NIV

We hope these "One Quick Thought" episodes remind you how deeply God loves you, is interested in you, and has a plan for you.

In this episode, Russ takes on a topic that can be difficult for many of us: vulnerability. Our lives move fast and are so easily bombarded, so it can sometimes be difficult to slow down and be vulnerable. At times, it feels easier to close our hearts and avoid the pain and potential rejection that can come with vulnerability. The problem with this is that vulnerability is one of the key ways we see our need for God.

When we choose to be vulnerable with God first and believe he loves us, is interested in us, and has a plan for us, we will have the confidence to be vulnerable with others, too. Check out this week’s One Quick Thought to learn how vulnerability helps us see our need for God.
