Anything But That Feb 28, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Dean is joined by Pastor Jeff Walper as they discuss the mutual calling they have as pastors with that of Jeremiah. Dean and Jeff find themselves strongly resonating with many of the emotions Jeremiah seemed to struggle with—the common insecurities and doubt that seems to paralyze us. Whether or not God has called you to pastoral ministry or another ministry avenue, the principle still applies: God ordained you for a calling and a purpose from before you existed. He intends to see that through until the end—providing all of your needs, down to the very words you will need to speak.

In this episode, Dean is joined by Melanie Quion, a wife and mother who has found golden nuggets of biblical parenting truths in the story of Esther.

When Left Is Right Jan 31, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Dean is joined by Adam Ramdin as they delve into the curious story of Ehud. The bible specifically mentions the fact that Ehud is left handed—a detail that is not often included in bible stories. So... why? Perhaps to show us that God can use anyone, and that our perceived limitations and obstacles are often some of His most valued assets. God used Ehud, a man of apparent defect and disadvantage, to deliver His people from captivity. Unlike Ehud, many of us let our service for God stop at the idea of our weaknesses and insufficiencies; but He says to us “is there anything too hard for me?” Whether it is a skill to be learned or change to be made in our hearts, He supplies the need. “God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.”

When God Doesn't Make Sense Jan 17, 2020

Show notes

In this episode of the Why They Did That Podcast, Gem Castor take us on a faith trip. “What do you do when God doesn’t make sense?” Abraham waited over 100 years for a son, for the fulfillment of God’s promise; most of us are unbearably impatient while waiting a few months or years for an answer from the Lord. Abraham holds in one hand the promise of a nation from his seed— from Isaac; in the other, He holds the commandment from God to sacrifice his son. And yet, through this excruciating experience, Abraham’s faith in and love for God was steadfast and unmoved. The mindset of Abraham, and the secret to his faith is revealed in what does before leaving the mountain: “And Abraham called the name of the place the Lord will provide…” Genesis 22:14

Losing Your Fire Jan 03, 2020

Show notes

In this episode, Adam Patel invites you to follow David through a journey of
trial and apparent defeat. For what seems like an eternity, David had been running from Saul—not in a game of hide-and-seek, but for the preservation of his very life. Now completely exhausted and worn beyond what he has ever experienced, David runs toward the people, the very enemies He had once boldly slain for the honor, glory, and vindication of God. David—like many of us—had one foot in, one foot out; but the mercy of God was sufficient for him, and as He is the same yesterday, today, and forever—it is sufficient for us.
