  1. The Humility of Planning

    The Humility of Planning

    In this episode of Conversations in the Barn, we reflect on the humility of planning through the lens of James 4. Planning is a gift. It reflects responsibility, wisdom, and care. But when planning slips into control, it often reveals fear beneath the surface. What does it look like to plan faithfully while holding our plans with open hands? How do we move from “God, bless my plan” to “God, show me Yours”? Together, we explore the simple but powerful practice of living with the words “God willing,” learning to trust that even when doors close and timelines shift, God is already at work. Whether you’re mapping out your week or adjusting to unexpected change, this conversation invites you to plan boldly, hold lightly, and trust deeply. #ConversationsInTheBarn #GodWilling #FaithAndPlanning #TrustGod #James4 #HoldTheReinsLightly #CowboyFaith #BlackHillsCowboyChurch #PlanBoldlyTrustDeeply Hosted on Acast.

  2. Planning or Presumption

    Planning or Presumption

    James 4 reminds us that while planning is wise, our lives are ultimately in God’s hands. This message calls us to hold our plans with humility, learning to say “God willing” as a posture of trust, not just words. When we submit our plans to God’s direction, His redirection often leads to greater impact than we imagined. It’s an invitation to stop asking God to bless our plans and instead align with what He is already blessing, living out a surrendered “Thy will be done.” Hosted on Acast.

  3. Who Is The Judge?

    Who Is The Judge?

    This message from James 4 invites us to examine how we talk about others and whether we’ve unknowingly taken on the role of judge. It unpacks what slander really is, why even truthful words can be harmful, and how humility shapes the way we speak. We’re reminded that God alone sees hearts, motives, and circumstances, freeing us from the burden of making everything right. This teaching calls us to choose peace, guard our words, and trust God with what we cannot see. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    The Path to Spiritual Freedom

    Spiritual freedom doesn’t come from trying harder, it comes from drawing nearer. In this episode, we reflect on James chapter 4 and the invitation to wash our hands and purify our hearts. Explore what it means to release guilt through forgiveness, let go of divided loyalties, and allow grace to reshape not just our actions, but our desires. A quiet call to humility, surrender, and the freedom found when we stop striving and start trusting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Get Down to Get Up

    This message from James 4 confronts the tension between pride and humility, self-reliance and full surrender to God. It reminds us of a powerful truth: God gives more grace, especially when His standards feel out of reach. We are called to resist the devil, draw near to God, and humble ourselves so He can lift us up. The promise is clear: when we take even one step toward God, He moves toward us. This teaching challenges our double-mindedness and invites us beyond surface-level faith into heart-level transformation, shifting from guilt to forgiveness, inner conflict to surrender, and religious routine to an all-in relationship with God.

  8. Fighting From the Inside Out

    JAN 14

    Fighting From the Inside Out

    In this episode, Rachel reflects on Pastor Isaac’s teaching from James 4:1–3, where James asks a challenging question: What causes fights and quarrels among you? Rather than pointing outward, James invites us to look within. This conversation explores how many conflicts are rooted in desires for control, power, and comfort, and how those same motives can shape the way we pray. Using the Lord’s Prayer as a framework, the episode encourages listeners to reorder their prayers by honoring God’s name, seeking His kingdom and will, and then bringing their needs before Him. This episode invites honest self-examination and points toward a different way of living; one shaped by surrender, humility, and peace that begins on the inside. Hosted on Acast.
