Get To Know Us + Advice Session Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

Since we started this podcast, our community has grown so much that we decided to do a fun and encouraging BONUS episode to answer some of the questions we get!

We really hope that by the end of this episode, you know a little bit about us, but also learn a bit about some of what we do + tons of pieces of advice along the way!

We talk about some serious questions but also answer some hilarious and fun questions, so be sure to tune in and find out things like what we wanted to be when we were a kid, what we would sing at Karaoke night, and what we would rather do: wash dishes, clean the bathroom, or vacuum the house?

The best experience is being rescued from our sins. And from God's wrath. But knowing who He is and knowing who you are in Christ as a believer, does more for your confidence and your identity than anything else. And that comes from the Word of God.” - AJ

Learning from the Rechabites how to live set apart Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

This week, Jen and AJ introduce us to the story of the week: the Rechabites - from Jeremiah 35 and how it compares to Romans 8:12-13!

The Rechabites were nomads, always wandering from place to place. In Jeremiah 35, they were tested by God through Jeremiah when he offered them wine.
Rechabites are an example to us. They said no to cultural norms. They had to give up land ownership and certain other things in order to obey the commands of their forefathers. And that's what it is for us as life of a believer too. We have to say, yes, I'm going to follow Christ. When we are trusting in Christ, we are living in the spirit, and yet we are given commands, we are given things to do that can only be done by Christ living in us.

As believers, we have something so much more powerful than rules and the law. The law points out what's right and wrong, but what it is not able to do is empower us to live accordingly.

We have something so much more powerful than just the law because we have the spirit of God, which indwells us. He is giving life to our mortal bodies.

This is a story about obedience and faithfulness. Listen to today’s episode and fill your heart with reminders of the goodness of following God’s Word. We hope you see the Rechabites as an example to us believers.

Recreated, reclaimed, and brought back to life: Ezekiel and the dry bones Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, join Jen and AJ as they look at Ezekiel 37, and compare it to Romans 8, showing how even when you are in the middle of your despair when there seems to be no life left, the Spirit of God will breathe new life into your circumstances.
This is one of the times when the Old Testament clearly points to the truth of new life and resurrection.

When we are dead, we are dried, we're absolutely helpless and hopeless apart from Jesus Christ, He breathes his new life into us and we are actually dwelt by the very spirit of God.

Tune in today and dive into Ezekiel’s third vision where God showed him in the middle of a valley full of bones a picture of what God does for us spiritually.
When you are in a place where you just can't see past your own dryness, failure, or despair, you can trust your Creator and your Recreator. Remember that God has reclaimed you.

We hope this episode encourages your heart.

The bronze serpent and the cross Apr 10, 2023

Show notes

This month we are starting a new series: Romans 8 Revealed in the Old Testament! And today we are talking about snakes! Snakes in Scripture are not portrayed as the best of creatures. So when we look at the whole fact that God chose a serpent in the story we are discussing today is significant.

So tune in and let’s dive into Numbers 21:4-9 and be reminded of the promises from Romans 8 and that God has always provided a way for us to be saved from the condemnation of sin. We just need to believe and cling to Him.
Do you think that your sin (in any circumstance you've been through) is bigger than God's mercy?

Hope blooms from suffering Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

In today’s episode, we're finishing up the Praying the Promises of the Cross series and looking into Jen’s favorite verse.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. - Romans 8:18

If you open up to the beauty of this verse in the Bible, you will be transformed. Your entire perspective on your earthly existence will be changed.

And this episode will help you with this perspective. We rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character. Character produces hope. And hope does not put us to shame because God's love is poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

We are family (I’ve got all my sisters and me) Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

Today we are focusing on Romans 8:14-16.

There is so much to unpack from these three verses, but what really stands out to us is the concept of sonship. If we are trusting in Christ, we are all adopted.

Adoption is a biblical concept. Whether you’ve ever adopted before, we can all understand the concept of taking in something or someone who may not have had a home. AJ shares part of her adoption story in this episode and reminds us that, like AJ’s daughters, we are not only daughters, but we are heirs to Christ.
When you are adopted, you’re an equal. You were actually chosen. God has chosen you! If you are trusting in him, He has pursued you. He knows you better than anybody. He knows your needs before you ask. He has taken you in, at the price of His son’s blood.

Superhero response for when your enemy attacks Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Well, we aren’t actual superheroes, BUT we do have enemies. For a believer, there's an enemy in the world that prowls, seeking whom he may devour.

As we continue our Praying the Promises Series here at Sojo Show podcast, we are once again looking at Romans 8, and today particularly, we are looking into Romans 8:31. It’s a short but super duper-powerful verse.

So... who’s against us?

It's not just the principalities and powers and the devil and those who are hostile to God, but it can also be our own conscience. Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Our own thinking can sabotage us. And that’s why Romans 8:31 is a promise that we can use to do battle!

Tune in today and dive into Romans 8:31 as we unravel this promise of the cross: God is for you.

No condemnation in Christ Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

In today’s episode, you’ll have to bear with us, because the first 5 minutes is just Jen trying to focus on answering AJ’s question: What do you feel guilty about? And the result is absolutely hilarious.

For the answer, you’ll need to listen to the episode, because we don’t want to spill the beans here, considering that Jen’s husband doesn’t know she was oversharing. Jokes aside, the question is actually relevant and ties into our topic today as we discuss another of God’s promises.
Today we're talking about the first two verses of Romans 8, about condemnation, sin, conviction, and Jen’s secrets!

At the end of the day, we still sin daily. And yet the promise of this incredible verse applies to the past, present and future sin. Be sure to listen for good news!

Secure in God's Hand Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

As a child, was there ever a time when you were convinced something was true, only to later find out that it wasn’t?

Like Santa Claus? Or the Tooth Fairy? Or perhaps, as Jen believed, swallowing gum would cause your insides to stick together?

This may be a silly example, but the question is actually relevant and ties into our topic today as we discuss another of God’s promises.

The cool thing about the promise we discuss today is that it comes with assurance. Scripture tells us we can be convinced and absolutely sure of this promise no matter what comes our way.

Join us in today’s episode as we look at the last two verses in Romans 8 and discover what assurance you can have regarding God’s love for you.

Dead to sin but Alive in Christ Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

Besides discussing the common fascination with life and death, Jen and AJ explore perhaps the most beautiful chapter in the Bible – Romans 8.

The idea of life and death is actually one of the most important spiritual themes that have ever been discussed, making it extremely good news for us as believers.
You’ll be encouraged during this week’s episode to know that as children of God, we have God’s Spirit within us to empower (ENLIVEN) us. Just think about what it took to raise Jesus from the dead. It’s the same spirit, the same power, that raises us from spiritual death and incapacity! That is the same spirit we have in us - enabling us to fulfill our roles and responsibilities on a day-to-day basis.

Be sure to tune in to this week’s episode and have your heart encouraged by the TRUTH from God’s word.
