Let's Riot The Bud Co

God’s dream for you isn’t that you would become unfeeling towards His dreams for you but that you would become unwavering in your trust and His goodness. Ladies and gents, we’re talking alllllllll things dreaming with God on the podcast today- The good, bad, redemptive and down right ugly. Spoiler: Shannon is telling the story of her “dead” dream and how we process putting those things to death and picking up new dreams.

We have forgotten how to disagree with one another. All you need to do to see what I mean is look at the political landscape of our day or better yet…. look at church politics and the state of our denominations. We have slipped into the belief that if you disagree with me you must hate me, or we have to hate you or else we might be infected with your dissent. So how do we disagree well? And how the heck do we actually live out the commandment to “Love our Enemies”.

What are “christian political views” and what is our role in politics as believers? And while we live a life of radical submission modeled from Jesus’ own cross-life we also carry the Spirit of the living God within us, and with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit we have a responsibility— So let’s get into it, shall we?

We can't stop excusing ourselves from the political landscape of our day— that's not how Jesus operated and neither can we. The gospel may not have been a political message but that didn't stop Jesus from going "there". Maybe it's time to re-examine our place in politics and get into scripture to see what the way of Jesus has to say about the church and politics. 

Are we desiring the promise-keeper more than the promise?

That’s the the question I chatted about with my good friend Alyssa York during the final part of our dating series that focused in on singleness, but it ended up being so much more— a conversation on waiting, wrestling with disappointment, how we love sisters in another season,God coming close to the broken hearted, and the value of learning to be alone with God.

Are soulmates a thing? How do we discern who/what God has for us? Does God speak to us about our future spouses? And what are things we should be talking about with our future spouse/what should be deal-breakers? Me and the hubs are getting into PART 2 of our relationship series today on the podcast and answering your questions on how to discern God’s will in our relationships and building a healthy foundation for our relationships!
