06. Overcoming insecurities to be used by God Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

A jam-packed episode with hands-on tips for dealing with insecurity in a biblical manner.
Have you ever wondered, “Who am I to do these things?”

God has an answer for all of these questions when He calls you to do something. And friend, your job is to step forward and do what He is asking, trusting that He's got this.

In today’s episode, the second in our Confidence series, we talk about Moses, and how he felt out of place. He did not feel man enough to fulfill what God had given him to do. But in the end, Moses did not let that stop him. Nor should you.

During our discussion today on Moses’s conversation with God, AJ and Jen identified three different insecurities that Moses had: 1) identity insecurity, 2) inability insecurity, 3) credibility insecurity.

When Moses said, “Who am I to do this?” He didn't think he had what it took. We all can relate to that, right? When we stumble over our own shortcomings, weaknesses, inabilities, or unmet expectations of ourselves, we are identifying with this insecurity.

While we may struggle with various insecurities, God's response to Moses is so, so good. He told Moses, “I will certainly be with you,” effectively silencing Moses’s voices of doubt and fear. By the end of this discussion, both Jen and AJ had a takeaway phrase:

“Your insecurities may actually be the reason God is choosing to use you.” - Jen Evangelista

“Insecurity is not relevant to God.” - Arabah Joy.

05. Holding onto God's promises even when you are scared Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

What areas of your life do you struggle with fear or insecurity?

This week we are starting a new series: Cultivating Unshakable Confidence.

The only way to have unshakeable confidence is to be aware of and sure of the promises of God and the truth of the gospel. Over the next few episodes, we will take a look at four different men from the Bible and the things we can learn from their lives to help us build the unshakable confidence that only comes through the knowledge that we are in Christ and Christ is in us.

In today’s episode, and first of the Confidence series, we talked about king Jeroboam and how he was afraid of loss, afraid of losing what God had already given him. How many times have WE feared loss?

04. Learning to Love the Proverbs 31 Woman Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

Be honest - Have you ever sort of resented the woman from Proverbs 31?
In our study of Proverbs, we have learned the majority of proverbs have been written by King Solomon as the first 22 chapters or so were written by him. All these proverbs are useful for anybody, but then we end the book with this very special chapter that elevates the beauty and grace of womanhood.
In episode 4 (the last one from the Proverbs series), AJ and Jen tell it all on the Proverbs 31 woman- no holding back!
Is it fair for us to look at Proverbs 31 as a mirror and compare ourselves to the woman we find here? Comparison has never really been super helpful or healthy, especially when we go back to the gospel and know we can never compare to the standard that God has set (which is perfection.) Reality check: We know we're probably never going to tick all the boxes on this chapter. We close out our series on Proverbs with an honest discussion on the Proverbs 31 woman and how we can avoid falling down the pit of despair when we compare ourselves with her.

BONUS: 80's music, too much laughter, and how The Sojo Show started Jan 28, 2022

Show notes

We decided to launch a BONUS episode so you can get to know the voices behind the podcast, AJ and Ginger, er, I mean, Jen :)

This episode is a little bit behind-the-scenes and off the cuff. Just AJ and Jen talking like they're sitting in your living room drinking tea or coffee. (in fact, they were sitting in a living room chatting with Sojo Academy friends... you get to listen in)

Oh, and super serious question we need your input on... are the 80's songs the best? And who do you think is the best dancer in this duo? We have ongoing discussions about these things, so want to know your thoughts!

Disclaimer: the original audio is from an impromptu (and hilarious) FB Live Jen and AJ did for the Sojo Academy members after Christmas when they were announcing the podcast (and totally acting the fool, lol). So, sorry for not having the best quality audio this time!

Also, listen to this bonus episode and find out about the day Jen made AJ pee her pants! And yes, it was totally Jen's fault, AJ doesn't have a bladder problem.

Our regular show will be released on January 31 so be sure to look for Episode 4. It's the last one from the Proverbs Series and is a must-listen for sure. See you there.

03. Understanding and Using your Influence Jan 24, 2022

Show notes

What is something you have recently searched for and why?
We search for something when it is important, right? In today’s podcast, we talk about King Hezekiah and how he searched for Solomon’s wisdom. Did you know that part of the book of Proverbs was actually compiled by King Hezekiah? Interesting fact, yes?
We discuss that on this episode and we also talked about the weirdest food Arabah Joy and Jen Evangelista have ever eaten. Because it somehow seemed like it needed to be discussed.
And of course besides that and most importantly, Jen and AJ discuss influence - Whether you realize it or not, you can be a mentor to others, whether it's your own children or others in your daily life. Truth is, God has raised up people in every generation to stand for truth and righteousness and to shout wisdom. Whatever position you are in, and especially those who may be younger reading or listening to this podcast, use your influence and run hard, run passionately, put your all into advancing the kingdom of God and being a voice in this generation.
As we connect the Proverbs to the Chronicles and Kings, we also noted how the compilation of historical wisdom was used in order to try to reorient an entire nation back to God. Then, we wrapped up the episode by drawing some conclusions regarding what that means for us today.
