Names of God MINI: Can Jehovah Rapha Heal You Sep 26, 2024

Show notes

It’s easy to limit how we think of God’s healing power. We jump to physical healing and provision. But The Bible shows us times when God healed physically (2 Kings 5:10), emotionally (Psalm 34:18), mentally (Daniel 4:34), and spiritually (Psalm 103:2–3). Jesus reinforces the idea of holistic healing by doing the same during his ministry.

112. What Happens to Faith When Dreams Die? with Tara Sun Sep 24, 2024

Show notes

It’s easy to think if we just work hard enough we can get anything we want. The messages of manifesting tell us that if we can dream it we can do it, we just have to want it badly enough. Tara sounds a lot like me when she self-describes as a “control freak." She was chasing her dreams until one day she heard the voice of God saying “You aren’t supposed to be here.” That changed her life.

What happened after God spoke to you? What did you do next?

How does the “girl boss” movement affect Christian women? Have you found yourself tempted toward limitlessness?

What have you lost when you don’t slow down? Have you seen this in the lives of others?

How have you seen God guide people to move forward, and also to stop? Does this depend on the season?

We are told to be “strong independent women.” What does independence get us, and what does it lose us?

How have you grown to know God better by leaning on him?

Names of God MINI: How Do You Reflect Elohim's Creativity Sep 19, 2024

Show notes

It also means you are designed to reflect a creative God! When you work and create you’re living out your design. Your work, creation, and worship are all tied together. The daily dishes and sweeping after meals are the work of creating order. If we choose not to rush through our days with scrolls and swipes, then what we do is a reflection of God’s creation of order and is a form of worship.

111. The Bible Is Not About You But Will Transform You with Nancy Guthrie Sep 17, 2024

Show notes

I've briefly mentioned before that I had a crisis of faith soon after I had my first baby. I long story short, I threw away my Bible because learning who Jesus really was felt too overwhelming. A few months later God brought Nancy's "Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament" series to my attention. I used that to re-learn what I believed the Bible taught. At the time I wished she had some New Testament resources too. Since then she has written resources on Revelation and now Acts!

What ignited Nancy's passion for going deeper into the Bible

The whole Bible as the story of Jesus

How themes influence the way we read the Bible.

What stands out in Acts

You can find these resources by Nancy Guthrie:

Names of God MINI: What is El Shaddai's Promise to You Sep 12, 2024

Show notes

I hope understanding where this name comes from combined with this verse reminds you that you don’t have to sin or pull strings in order to have your needs met by God. He is a shelter for you. As you live in trust that God keeps his promises you live in the nearness of God. According to this verse, you will be close enough to be in his shadow.

110. Is Community Worth it? with Dillon Byrd Sep 10, 2024

Show notes

Living in community with other believers is mentioned in scripture to help us grow in our faith. But culturally we are moving away from it are we losing anything?

Why are you so passionate about community that you've chosen to encourage people toward that for so many years?

What benefits do believers get from living in a community?

What does it look like to live in a community?

Does it have to be local, or can people do it online?

What do we lose if we don't have an in-person faith community?

What if I can't find a church or discipleship group that aligns with what I believe?

Names of God MINI: How to Find Hope in Adonai Sep 05, 2024

Show notes

Our grief at death is often overwhelming. It’s because as humans we weren’t created to experience death. We were created to exist in a world of eternal fellowship with God and perfect relationships with others. The fall marred the blueprint for our existence in a horrific way.

109. Jesus Centered Parenting in Peace with Flourishing Homes and Families Sep 03, 2024

Show notes

I thought parenting would be easy. I read all the books looking for the perfect formula and became more and more frustrated that I wasn't being given one. I realized with time each child is so individual that even if someone offered me a formula it wouldn't work. I then entered a phase of overwhelm and fear.

Has flourishing always defined your family, or was there a time of desperation for you?

How does seeing our failures in our kids help us lean more into Jesus?

You talk about framing the concept of obedience in trust. How does that change the way we view our children's behavior and our reaction to their behavior?

What do we do with the guilt when we don't respond in an ideal way?

108. How Do I Put the Word Before World with Gretchen Saffles Aug 27, 2024

Show notes

Today we are talking about how to keep a steady diet of faith even when life gets squirrely.

What does your IDEAL time in God’s Word look like? I think it's easy to assume everyone does the same thing we do! How does Bible time change when you're overwhelmed?

Have you ever had a season where you felt like you were spiritually starving?

What are some unconventional ways you’ve gotten into the Word of God?
