    Be Strong and Courageous - The Lord is With You

    There are so many lessons to be learned from the Exodus journey of the Israelites. Pictures of our own freedom and joy, as well as our doubts and complaints are all there in Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.  In today's episode, I'm examining the disposition of the Israelites as they listen to the reports of the spies. 10 saw the goodness and fruitfulness of the land God promised to give them. But they were overwhelmed and thrown into doubts about their ability to claim the land. Why? Because giants who made them feel like grasshoppers inhabited the land.  Joshua and Caleb, on the other hand, believed the Lord. They knew Israel could take the land because the Lord had said it was theirs and proved over and over again that He was a faithful God who kept His promises.  As we dig into this account, where are you in what the Lord has called you to? Are the giants opposing you looming large, casting shadows into your confidence in the Lord? Or are you confident that while you may be a grasshopper in the eyes of opposition, the enemy is as a grasshopper in the Lord's eyes?  Will we believe, beloved friends, that the Lord is bigger, He is greater, and He is just as good as He says He is... and that if we will trust Him, if we will be strong and courageous... Do we believe and know that Jesus will be with us wherever we go? I pray this episode encourages and challenges you as it challenged me to trust the Lord and move confidently at His word into what He's called us to do.  Scriptures Referenced:  Exodus 3Numbers 13Joshua 12 Corinthians 4Psalm 16You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    What On Earth are We Waiting For?

    Waiting is one of the spiritual disciplines of the Christian walk, and yet most of us don't wait on the Lord well. But what if Jesus wants to shift our perspective on waiting? What if waiting becomes a gift, a place where we can learn to worship Him more freely?  While we are children of the Lord and have the privilege of asking our Father for things, we are also His servants. And it is the pleasure of the servant to wait on their King - to wait for His direction and will. While there is a time and place in waiting on the Lord to cry with David, "How long, O Lord?" (Psalm 13:1), there is also a time to say with Isaiah, "We have waited for You eagerly; Your name, and remembering You, is the desire of our souls."  Scriptures Referenced: Isaiah 25:8-9Isaiah 26:7-8Psalm 62:5-8Lamentations 3:19-26Romans 8:22-25Philippians 3:20-212 Corinthians 4:16-18You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    Jesus is Faithful to Show Up for You

    There are many voices out there - telling us what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and how "it" should look. But what if we took a step back, and cut away the voices of this world, and even well-meaning voices, and asked Jesus to make His voice the clearest and the loudest to us.  What would happen if we took away all the strategies, bells, whistles, and ideas and simply said, "Jesus, today, I"m going to show up. And I know YOU will give me the strategies, bells, whistles, and ideas that I need to do what You called me to do."  I want to encourage you today: while best practices, platforms, and strategies have their place, nothing bests the plan that Jesus has for what He's called you to do. Or the way in which He has called you to walk where He's led you to minister. The pressure is off us: He's calling us to show up. To pursue Him. To be obedient, repentant, and to persevere. But the outcomes, the glory He gets, the souls that come to Him... they are up to Him. He is faithful - He will see it through!

    Why We Need the Scriptures

    John 20:31 tells us that, "...These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name." When we contemplate the Word, the vastness of the revelation of God... do we realize that every single part of it has been curated and picked by the Lord for the purpose of bringing us to belief and that belief would bring us to life in Jesus? This Word is designed to reveal the character of Yahweh, the glory of His Son and His sacrifice, and the nature of His Spirit. It is written to warn us about sin, the consequence of rejecting the Lord, and how to respond and repent when we are convicted.  No matter where you are in your walk with Jesus, my prayer is that today's episode encourages you and reminds you that the God of the universe and the word He has given us can be trusted, believed, lived out, and loved. That it has the power to transform us because not only is it the written Word, but it leads us to the Living Word, Jesus Himself.  Scriptures Referenced: John 20:30-31John 21:24-25The Books of Judges, Job, and PsalmsJohn 14:6John 17:3John 10John 6John 1:1Hebrews 4:12Galatians 2:201 Thessalonians 5:24You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    Encouragement for the Weary

    Are you in a season where you are in winter, in a cave, it's dark and difficult and every day feels like a wrestle?  Or are you in a season where you see the tender tendrils of hope starting to bud in your life once again?  No matter where you are - I pray today's episode encourages you: Jesus is on the move in the lives of His people. He is bringing forth fruit in freedom, and starting to show us the fruition of the hard seasons. A deeper faith, a stronger confidence, a richer understanding of His love in your own life. And I believe He is gracing us and equipping us for this next season, because there are people in your life and mine who need the glorious gospel of Jesus.  Scriptures Referenced: Song of Solomon 2:10-13Galatians 6:13Psalm 126:5John 15Matthew 6You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    Let's Talk About Abundance

    Psalm 23 is a super familiar chapter. Not only for the church, but even in culture. However, when we stop to take a look at it, the deeper meaning, and the revelation it holds is worth the digging. Take for instance, verse 5: "You prepare a table for me in the middle of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil, my cup overflows." There is much in this passage that's easy to explain - or read past. But what if the Lord wants to remind us: it is His goodness that keeps us in the middle of our enemies. And what if our cups overflowing means something different than we've thought?  I pray this episode encourages you as you think about the abundance of the Lord toward you in your own life - and that no matter what you're walking through, you see His abundance in beautiful, life changing ways.

    When Jesus Makes Us Uncomfortable

    There are times that Jesus does things that make us uncomfortable. He works in ways that challenge our preconceived notions about how we think He should show up, work, or move. However, when we read Mark 8:22-26, the Lord often is working more deeply, He is refining us, testing us, and asking us to trust Him.  As Jesus took the blind man out of the village and healed him, so He often calls us apart, does deep work, and uses unconventional ways to bring restoration and healing in our lives. My prayer is that you and I would be encouraged by this encounter with Jesus and that it would help us go deeper with Him...trusting that while things might be uncomfortable, painful, or even confusing - Jesus is worthy of our love and endurance. And we will see our heart and sight restored in a way we never could have anticipated.   Scriptures Referenced: Mark 8:22-26Mark 8Romans 8:28Genesis 50:20Acts 3Philippians 4You can find me on Instagram / Threads

    Joy Comes in the Morning

    A short episode to encourage you: joy truly does come in the morning. And even though that sometimes feels impossible in the darkness or in the wilderness, the seeds of future joy are being planted. Why? Because Jesus is always at work. He is moving in ways we cannot see. He can handle our grief and our depression and our questions. And He delights in filling us with His joy, love, hope, and peace.  I pray this episode encourages you - we can trust the Lord when He says that joy comes in the morning. It is truth we can cling to when the darkness crowds in. And it is something we can thank Him for and worship Him for as we journey through discipleship with the Lord.  Also, if you wanna rock out, here is the (very random) playlist I mentioned in the episode:  Joy Comes in the Morning Playlist Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 30Isaiah 61:1-3Hebrews 12Philippians 4Matthew 5John 15:9-10Job 25:6You can find me on Instagram / Threads
