What if God is Silent: With Special Guest Addison Bevere

Today I decided to re-air this powerful conversation I had with my friend Addison Bevere. Addison and I talk about a struggle that is probably familiar to most of us: God's silence. Addison shares from his new book, Words With God, about this very issue and offers some practical and heart felt insight on how to hear God’s voice more clearly.

**Addison Bevere is COO of Messenger International (founded by John & Lisa Bevere), a cofounder of SonsAndDaughters.tv and a bestselling author. His new book, Words with God: Trading Boring, Empty Prayer for Real Connection recasts prayer as an intimate and necessary part of the human experience.

422// Standing Up for What's Right: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 14:1-13

There's a lot going on in this story, and you have probably heard it in the past. Today, we’re diving into the death of John the Baptist and the picture it paints of the depravity of man. Despite how difficult this story is to hear, it helps us to be encouraged to stand up for what's right, speaking truth to those around us.

When You’re Not Accepted: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 13:44-58 Nov 08, 2023

Show notes

421// When You’re Not Accepted: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 13:44-58

In Jesus’ day, treasured possessions would often be buried for safekeeping. So his hearers would have instantly connected with the story of a man finding a buried treasure in a field. In this parable, Jesus uses buried treasure imagery to stir his listeners to see how the Kingdom of God is worth sacrificing whatever is necessary - because it is a treasure far greater than anything on earth. In today’s study, we’ll see how this teaching and others stirred up both amazement and skepticism - and for Jesus, this meant not being accepted everywhere he went.

What is Heaven Like? Jesus Answers: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 13:31-43 Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

420// What is Heaven Like? Jesus Answers: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 13:31-43

Jesus used all sorts of metaphors to describe the indescribable kingdom of God and the people who will inhabit it: it’s like a mustard seed, yeast in dough, seeds in a field. In this section of Scripture, Jesus tells the crowd these parables to reveal things that were until that point hidden from them. We’ll unpack the meaning of these parables and see what God wants us to hear and understand today.

418// How to Persevere After Church Hurt

Today I’m thrilled to welcome my friend Natalie Runion on the show. Natalie is the author of “Raised to Stay: Persevering in Ministry When You Have a Million Reasons to Walk Away.” We talk about what it’s like to be called to ministry as a woman and the temptation to walk away after hurt and struggle, particularly after serving under toxic leadership. We also discuss the concept of deconstruction and what it looks like to find healing and hope on the other side of church wounds.

What Does The Parable of The Sower Mean: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 13:1-23 Nov 02, 2023

Show notes

417// What Does The Parable of The Sower Mean: Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 13:1-23

The Kingdom of God was unexpected and different from anything the disciples of the people of Jesus’ day had been expecting, and so Jesus often used parables to try to help them understand exactly what the kingdom and God were like and to confront his opponents. We can learn a lot from studying the parables, not only about the kingdom of God but about healthy boundaries and who and how Jesus offered revelation. The parable of the sower shows us that it is our responsibility to cast the seed, but bearing fruit is ultimately up to God.

415// Dealing with Evil in Our World : A Devotional Bible Study on Matthew 12:15-29

The American church, so many times, wants to ignore that we are facing a spiritual battle. But Jesus did not deny that demons and spiritual forces were at work against him and the Kingdom of God. Today, we’re talking about demon possession, spiritual warfare, and what deliverance looks like for us in the Western church.
