S3:006 Proverbs 7 Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

Emma Dotter is joined today by Join the journey’s friend, Shane Rasch. One of the ways that we are given the way out to not sin, is by not making the decision to get close to sin in the first place. We don’t need to make decisions to validate our sin, but decisions to not set ourself up to not sin. Look for ways to not excuse sinful decisions.
Additional Scripture used in this passage:
2 Timothy 2:22, “Flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness…”
Psalm 44:21, “He knows the secrets of the heart…”
Romans13:14, “make no provisions for the flesh in regards to it’s lust…”

S3:004 Proverbs 5 Jan 04, 2024

Show notes

Oftentimes in tempting situations, we can be disappointed when we succumb to those temptations. Why do we fall when we know what to do? The key to overcoming this “forbidden woman” in the passage is not to know the answer in the time of temptation, but to be able to know and act in a time of temptation. Today Emma Dotter unpacks this and more in a study of Proverbs 5.
Additional Passages of Scripture in Today’s Podcast:
1 Corinthians 7:5, “Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”
1 John 4:8, “God is love…”
1 Corinthians 10:12, “Be careful that you don’t fall.”
Isaiah 41:10, “Do not fear for I am with you, do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
Hebrews 4:14-16, “
Lamentations 3:23, “They are new every morning

What does it mean to "keep your heart with all vigilance?" Emma Dotter is joined today with high school student, Bo Richardson. Emma also unpacks the phrase, “guard your heart” and how we choose to use this passage only for relational advice, and we miss the broader use of the verse. We're talking all about this question and more on today's episode of the Join The Journey Podcast.
