Mini: Who is In Charge? Ephesians 5:21 Mar 14, 2024

Show notes

When we are to give to one another everything good within our power submission becomes a joy. We are wholeheartedly dedicated to the good of the other. In healthy relationships, as we press to give one another the best, we are met with equal resistance to be given the best, and the love of God is shown as we live together in love.

84. Building Resilient Faith in God with Alexandra Hoover Mar 12, 2024

Show notes

It's easy to believe God is self-absorbed, or not present at all. Alexandra Hoover talks us through what it looks like to trust God day in and day out. She grew up with the odds are stacked against her and has had moments she was left wondering how she would get back up. She believes resilient faith is possible, and wants you to have it too!

Mini: But How Can I Be Grateful? Philippians 4:6-7 Mar 07, 2024

Show notes

Writing down what God has done for you and telling others helps strengthen our memory of his goodness. Our joy as believers doesn’t rely on being given everything we want but on the reliability of God’s nearness. In times of hardship, recounting the ways God has been good to you in the past, can help you meet even the hardest of trials with joy.

83. When God Doesn't Fix It with Kristen LaValley Mar 05, 2024

Show notes

We often think that if we do the right things we can get the result from God that we want, but most of us as we walk through life start noticing that things don't add up the way we thought they would. Kristen LaValley and her husband worked in full-time ministry when they unexpectedly experienced job loss, infant loss, and she witnessed a murder.

Join us as we discuss what it looks like to have faith when everything seems to be going wrong.

Mini: How Do I Change What I Think About? Psalm 19:14 Feb 29, 2024

Show notes

When I started focusing on what Jesus had done for me it changed the way I thought about my life. The words I replaced them with were “He is transforming me daily to nurture as he nurtures." “Your home is not a shrine to your good taste, but a place of welcome." “God's Spirit will guide my words.” The freedom from changing my scripts caused me to be more thoughtful and wise as I moved forward.

82. You Can Flourish in Each Season with Joy Clarkson Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

How would it change the way we live if we saw ourselves as trees instead of machines? The words we use about our lives and stages of life matter. Today Joy Clarkson and I talk about seasons for roots and the ones for fruit. No matter what season you are in you can flourish.

TAKE IT TO YOUR COMMUNITY

Ask a friend "If you were a tree what season would you be in?" The answer may surprise you!

MINI: How Do I Read the Bible When Life is Chaos? Revelation 1:3 Feb 22, 2024

Show notes

The goal of our reading isn’t to “get through,” but to remember and apply. If reading God’s word isn’t bringing delight, blessing, and transformation, then maybe we have found our value in making it a competition to do the most, or on the other side maybe it’s become something unnecessary to our existence. His word doesn’t return void, so read what you have brain retention for, and be formed by him.

81. Wrestling with Elisabeth Elliot's Legacy with Ellen Vaughn Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

Elisabeth Elliot’s voice was a fixture voice for thousands of living rooms through her 13-year daily radio show. After her husband Jim Elliot was killed on the mission field her best-selling book was the inspiration for the faith of three generations.

She was a prolific author and one of the few prominent female voices of the church of her time. She was a purity culture and traditional gender roles icon for thousands of women. Her words, and expressed views at that time have been polarizing for many Christians. I’ve since learned her true story was more complex than any of us knew.

You can buy Ellen's linked books "Becoming Elisabeth Elliot" and "Being Elisabeth Elliot" or find Ellen Vaughn on Instagram.

MINI: What If I'm Not "Good" at Prayer? 1 Thes. 5:16-18 Feb 15, 2024

Show notes

What I learned is God doesn't want us to just come to him in those big moments, but the small ones. The breaths of prayer when struggling with temper. Or a small prayer when remembering someone we love who is grieving or ill.

80. Training Refrains for Young Hearts with Abbey Wedgeworth Feb 13, 2024

Show notes

Our kids do something wrong and we respond in anger or start monologing. Abbey walks us through what it looks like to plan ahead for the struggles our kids encounter. Having just one phrase that we use every time protects us from responding in ways we regret, and helps defuse the situation.

Take to your community:

Hey, can we more toward complimenting the work God is doing in our kids rather than "Good job" or "You're so cute"?
