    85. Sitting with Psalm 145

    Today’s episode is simple and unhurried. Sarah reads Psalm 145 and offers a few gentle reflection questions, creating space to listen, notice, and rest in who God is. Reflection Questions: What words or phrases about God stood out to you as the psalm was read?What do these verses suggest about what God is like — especially toward people?“One generation commends your works to another…” (v.4) Where have you received faith from others?What parts of God’s goodness might you be called to quietly pass on?Which verses speak of God’s nearness, care, or attentiveness?Where do you most need to remember that the Lord is “near” right now?“Every day I will praise you…” (v.2) What might praise look like in your ordinary, real life — not ideal life?Is there a small, honest response God is inviting from you today?You can connect with Sarah on Instagram: inthedustpodcast

    84. Turning Our Eyes Upon Jesus

    In a tender week marked by loss, Sarah reflects on the hymn Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus and what it means to hold grief and worship together. She names the honest tension of praying with full faith for healing while accepting that some answers may not come this side of heaven. Rather than rushing to explain pain, this episode offers a gentle invitation to re‑order our perspective—letting what feels heavy be held in the light of Christ’s glory and grace (Psalm 34). Reflection to carry: What feels loud or heavy in your life right now—and what might it look like to hold that in the light of Jesus’ glory and grace?

    83. A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats: Growing With God This Year

    In this first episode of 2026, we explore the image of a rising tide — how God’s work in one part of our life can gently lift the rest. Together we reflect on growth, testimony, and the invitations Jesus is extending to us this year. From choosing a “word for the year” to noticing what’s shaping us, this episode is a gentle reminder that as God grows us, He also grows what surrounds us. Reflection Questions: 1) What do I sense God inviting me into in this season? 2) What word or phrase seems to rise in my spirit as a guide for the year? 3) Where did I experience God’s growth last year? 4) What feels dry, and what might God be wanting to water? 5) Where do I need to surrender control so God can lift the “whole boat”? 6) Who has God placed around me that I can encourage or uplift? 7) How can I create space for shared spiritual life this year? About Integration (“all of life”) 8) Which everyday area (rest, boundaries, prayer, creativity, work) is God highlighting? 9) Where might growth in one area positively impact the others? 10) What am I believing God for this year? Background for quote "A rising tide lifts all boats" The phrase is most famously associated with President John F. Kennedy, who used it in a 1963 speech. [en.wikipedia.org] But — and this is important — Kennedy did not originate it. His speechwriter, Ted Sorensen, later explained that he picked up the line from the New England Council, a regional chamber of commerce whose slogan since 1950 had been “The Rising Tide Lifts All the Boats.” [en.wikipedia.org] Even earlier, the phrase appears in religious publications from the early 1900s, including a 1910 reference in the Boston Evening Transcript used in the context of missionary work.

    In this quarterly reflection episode, Sarah invites listeners to pause and look back over Spring—what worked, what didn’t, and what God has been cultivating in their lives. Drawing from John 15:1–8, she explores the tension between fruitfulness and pruning, reminding us that true growth comes from staying connected to Jesus, the Vine.

    81. Pausing to prepare for an Intentional and Joyful Christmas - an Interview

    This week, we’re doing something new—our very first interview! I’m joined by Kelly, who recently led a workshop on cultivating an intentional and joyful Christmas season. Together, we explore practical ways to prepare for Christmas with peace and purpose, from choosing commitments and setting budgets to creating traditions that truly matter. We also talk about showing goodwill to others—and to ourselves—during this busy time. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the holidays, this conversation will help you slow down, reflect, and make space for what matters most: celebrating Jesus. You can connect with Sarah on Instagram: inthedustpodcast You can connect with Kelly kellycoopercoaching.com, and on Facebook and Instagram Kelly Cooper CoachingReflection Questions: CHRISTMAS What feelings does the word ‘Christmas’ evoke for you? What emotions do you experience? Where do you feel them in your body? What thoughts come to mind? CHRISTMASES PAST Let’s take a moment to reflect on the Christmases you’ve enjoyed the most in the past. What made those times feel special? Was it the company, the activities, the pace, the expectations or the traditions? #1 CHRISTMAS IS A SEASON, NOT A DAY Choose Your Commitments What events or activities do you choose to say ‘yes’ to this year? What events or activities do you choose to say ‘no’ to this year? Choose Your Budget Almost nothing is more stressful at Christmas than money. What is realistic and manageable for you this year? Consider – Who do you want to give gifts to this year? Who do you feel obliged to give a gift to> Is there a way of celebrating without gifts? How can you be creative with your gift giving? What do you need to communicate with others about your budget boundaries to manage expectations? #2 GOODWILL Choose Your People and Parameters What choices are you going to make about how you will celebrate the Christmas season? Who do you want to spend time with? On which days? Remember – It is okay to disappoint people and choose something different. What are your shared expectations for food preparation, budget and presents? What are some alternative suggestions and compromises you could make? Are there any ‘tricky’ people in your life that you’ll be spending time with this Christmas season – those who will require a little bit of extra energy or patience? How can you mentally and emotionally prepare yourself to respond intentionally during your time with them? Traditions are a fun way to create boundaries around expectations. What you spend, what you choose to eat and where you celebrate can become traditions. What traditions do you love and want to continue and which traditions do you want to let go of this year? #3 GOODWILL FOR YOU! Choose Yourself Take a few moments to check in with yourself – How are you really feeling? What do you need or desire to recharge your energy during this time of year? (Reflecting on your values can be helpful if you’ve had the opportunity to define them.) What are three ways that you can show goodwill to yourself in this season? What can only be done by you? What is truly important? What can you let go of? What do you need to communicate with others about the support or help you require during this season? CHRISTMAS What feelings does this word evoke for you? What emotions do you experience? Where do you feel them in your body What 2-3 steps will you take to create a more intentional Christmas season?
