    258. Contentment Challenge -- Jodi Snowdon

    Do you struggle with complaining? If you asked me a couple months ago, I would have said no, but recently our church did a study on the book of Numbers, and the Israelites are always complaining in this book of the Bible. Our Pastor has done two messages on complaining (link are below), and I now realize that I have a complaining problem. So instead of recommending a book like I usually do, today, I am going to recommend a book of the Bible: Numbers. I am also going to encourage you to join me in a Contentment Challenge to combat the complaining. You cannot complain and be grateful at the same time!  It is awesome how God led me to Melissa Spoelstra's Contentment Project through another author, Barb Roose's Loaves and Fishes email series. I share all about this on the podcast episode this week! So, I want to invite you to listen, grab a bracelet and join me in practicing contentment and gratitude instead of complaining and grumbling. Important Links: Mariners Church Series on Numbers: First message: The Not-Little Sin of Complaining - Eric Geiger | Mariners Church Second message: The Cure for Our Rebellion - Eric Geiger | Mariners Church Both Barb and Melissa have been guests on the Depth Podcast so I want to share links to their podcast episodes: Depth Podcast Episode 121 with Melissa Spoelstra about her Bible Study, *The Names of God.

    257. Faith to Flourish Book Recommendation -- Jodi Snowdon

    Do you want to be flourishing? Not just surviving your life but thriving. I have the greatest book to recommend to you. It is Christine Caine's newest book,  *The Faith To Flourish. The subtitle is God's design for a rooted, resilient, and fruitful life. Right away you can see why I love this book—it is talking about growing deep roots in your faith. You know I love when books talk about trees and this book focuses on the olive tree. I learned so much from Christine and cannot wait to share it with you. Depth Podcast Episode links and Book Recommendations to Grow your Roots Deep: *Depth: Growing Through Heartbreak to Strength by Jodi Snowdon. What if your greatest heartbreak catapults you to your greatest growth? Depth Podcast Episode 234: Do You Want To Be Deeply Rooted was recorded just earlier this year and goes into great detail about the books I recommend above about deep roots! I also share how to practically grow your roots deeper in your faith. I highly recommend this episode. *Thrive by Mark Hall (the cover of this book captivated me and began my journey to discover depth!) *Detours by Tony Evans (an amazing book about the life of Joseph and how he grew deep roots in his faith through detours) Depth Podcast Episode 114: I talk with Banning Liebscher about his book, *Rooted: The Hidden Places Where God Wants to Develop You. He says that God wants to grow you on the inside before he ever grows you on the outside. This hidden growth is so important. Depth Podcast Episode 115: I share practically how to grow deeper roots! Depth Podcast Episode 210 with Angie Baughman on the 5 Step Bible Study Method.

    255. God's Love Story of Redemption -- Book Recommendation

    Do you enjoy a good love story?  I know I do!  If I am completely honest, I am a sucker for the Hallmark Channel.  I think many of us would admit that we want a happily ever after. We want someone to desire to be with us and love us unconditionally.   Back in summer of 2017, I read a book called The Story; it is a chronological version of the Bible in one long story. I read it at the same time as I read, The Heart of the Story by Randy Frazee. Did you know that the Bible could be looked at as one good Love Story?  No, it is not cheesy like the Hallmark Channel; instead, it is about a God who desires a relationship with you. He loves you so much that the entire book is about His love story of redemption. I highly recommend reading these books-- it would be a great summer read! I remember in 2017 it took me the whole summer, but it was well worth the time! I hope and pray that these books make the Bible come alive for you again and give you a fresh new perspective on the Bible. Important Links to other Episodes on Studying the Bible: Depth Podcast Episode 115: I share practically how to grow deeper roots and more ways to study God's Word Depth Podcast Episode 210 with Angie Baughman on the 5 Step Bible Study Method-- an amazing way to dive deeper into the Bible! *Note: If you are interested in purchasing this book or the books recommended, I would love for you to use the Amazon Affiliate link above to help support the podcast.
