Finding Relief from the Pressure to Do it All Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

Many of us feel the pressure to do it all. We want to be the best Christian, mother, wife, friend, coworker, and church member possible. And we want to serve the Lord well with our time. But, in our pursuit of doing all of these things well, we often overlook the fact that we have God-given limits. Our season of life, our capacity, and time itself limit what we can and can’t do. Today we’re chatting about how to live within our limits for the glory of the Lord and how in that, we find relief from the pressure to do it all. Come join us in this conversation!

7:16: Why we feel pressure to “do it all”

12:27: How we can develop a Biblical perspective

With everything that is happening in the world today, we invite you to join us as we discuss how we can look to Christ even in the midst of crisis.

8:55 - How crisis impacts us

Overcoming Fear of the Future Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Life is unpredictable. We do not and cannot know the future. And the unknowns that await us can easily lead to overwhelming fear. “What if?” Circles constantly in our hearts and minds. How can we move fast these fears and overcome our anxieties about the future? We can look to the truth of God’s Word! The Bible never promises us that difficult things won’t happen in the future, but it does promise us that God will be with us no matter what happens. And it is in His presence that our worries are put to rest and our hope is restored.
In this episode we talk about the root of our fears, the reality of the unknowns of the future, and how we can look forward to the future with hope and not fear because of God’s faithfulness to us.

I’ve Been Hurt By My Church. Now What? Part 2 Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

God’s design for the church is good. The church is meant to be a place of refuge and worship. It is meant to be a place where believers can meet together and worship God and live in community with one another. But, because of sin, the church doesn’t always live according to its good design. Church hurt is real, and it is painful. But thankfully, the grace of God is able to heal that hurt and allow us to move forward.

In this two part series, we talk about what church hurt is, how to handle it, what God says about it, and how to move forward onto the path of healing.

Maybe you have been hurt by your church as a whole, or maybe an individual in your church. Maybe you have been hurt by church leadership. Or maybe you are someone who has hurt someone else within your church. Regardless of the circumstance, this conversation is for you.

How Can We Practically Love Our Enemies Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

The world is full of division. Politics, faith, current events, and even everyday disagreements with our family and friends divide us from one another. This division often leads to viewing those who oppose us as our enemies. We might even be tempted to think and act in a harsh and hateful way towards them. It could even be that their actions are so hurtful that our hatred feels justified.

But, Jesus has commanded us to love our enemies. We are to love them generously, graciously, and abundantly. Because when we do this we are reflecting the wildly generous and gracious love God has given to us through Jesus.

But what does loving our enemies really look like? How can we love our enemies on social media? What about the ones in our family? And the ones who have hurt us deeply? We are going to talk about all of this and more today. Come join our conversation on how to practically love our enemies.

Is Forgiveness Really Necessary? Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Forgiveness. It can be a really difficult topic for a lot of us. Maybe you have been severely hurt by someone in your life and you just can’t seem to move past it. Maybe you know you should forgive, but you just don’t know how. Or maybe you desire reconciliation and know that it isn’t an option, so you just avoid forgiveness all together. Whatever the case may be, you are not alone. Forgiveness is spoken about over and over again in scripture, and for good reason. Forgiveness makes us more like Jesus. Forgiveness is a picture of Jesus to others. But, that certainly doesn’t mean that it is easy.

If you are struggling with forgiveness or holding a grudge, and you want to know what God has to say about whether or not forgiveness is really necessary, this conversation is for you.

Finding Hope in Seasons of Change Jan 25, 2022

Change is inevitable. Our lives change continually every single day, it seems. Sometimes that change is good but sometimes it’s can hard. And it can make us question God’s goodness and his plans for our lives. In today’s episode we are talking about how to navigate change in light of the gospel and how we can always rest our every changing lives in the hands of our unchanging God.
