    Episode 120: Bite-Sized Bible Study | Determining When It’s Wise to Say “Yes” and When It’s Wise to Say “No” | Proverbs 2:1-11

    When is too much of a good thing no longer a good thing? Us perfectionist and people-pleasing types have a tendency to take on too much. We’re afraid to let others down or we don’t want to miss out on significant opportunities so we keep saying yes… to the point that we’re left exhausted and overwhelmed. Proverbs 2:1-11 helps us reframe the way that we view success and reminds us that the fulfillment we long for comes from God’s wisdom — not earthly successes. God’s wisdom is “pleasant to our souls” (Prov. 2:10), so in order to experience the health rhythms that God has for us, we have to determine when our yeses are wise and when they are not. Through the lens of Proverbs 2:1-11, I am sharing four key questions that I am learning to ask before I say “yes.” I hope you find these questions helpful too. — To learn more about Carly’s preaching ministry & Bible study resources, visit carlycommunicates.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carly-bartlett/support

    Episode 119: Bite-Sized Bible Study | When Anxiety Throws You For a Loop | Philippians 4:8

    I am no stranger to anxiety. Anxiety has been a part of my story, but God has also helped equip me to recognize and respond to anxiety differently when it comes knockin’ on my door. Today, I want to share with you why Philippians 4:8 has been pivotal on my journey and how from that Scripture, I have come up with five steps that have shift my perspective when I am anxious. I believe the bite-sized Bible study will help you, just as it helps me. I don't promise that these tools will defeat anxiety once-and-for-all, but I do believe they will help you as you walk through waves of worry when they come. The key is to root ourselves in WHAT IS so that we can approach WHAT IF questions differently. I am cheering for you, my friend, as you pursue wholeness in Jesus rather than trying to have it all together! 📖 Check out my 8 week Bible study, “The Gift of the Unexpected,” at carlycommunicates.com/gift-of-the-unexpected/ --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carly-bartlett/support

    Episode 118: Bite-Sized Bible Study | How to Find Good in the Wilderness | Luke 4:1-15

    For years I have found this passage about Jesus’ experience in the wilderness perplexing. Why would the Spirit purposefully send Jesus into the wilderness, where He would be tempted by the devil? In today’s bite-sized Bible study, we will look at this passage from a different perspective. What if it was in the wilderness where Jesus was most prepared to face the enemy with strength and confidence? What if the times of solitude gave him opportunities to hear the voice of God more clearly? In our fast-paced world, we don’t often experience the quiet, and when we do, it is uncomfortable and disorienting. But what if God is purposefully inviting us into the wilderness, too, so that we can tune our hearts to the Spirit and grow in our trust and courage? * In today’s episode, I mention that John Mark Comer’s insights in his book, “The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” helped form my perspectives on Luke 4:1-15. I highly recommend the book, if you haven’t read it already! 😊 * If you are interested in more devotional resources, check out my 8 week Bible study, “The Gift of the Unexpected.” You can learn more at carlycommunicates.com/resources --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carly-bartlett/support

    Episode 117: Bite-Sized Bible Study | Can You Be a Disciple and Doubt? | Matthew 28:16-20

    Sometimes we feel like we shouldn't doubt or ask questions. We feel like we have to have all the answers. We don't want to offend Jesus with doubts, or we wonder if can truly follow Jesus if we still have some loose ends that haven't been tied up when it comes to our faith. Unfortunately, I think that doubt has gotten tangled up in shame—but that is not Jesus' intention for us. In Matthew 28:16-20, we are told that some of the disciples struggled with doubt, and instead of trying scolding them, or telling them to get lost, Jesus came close. He met them in the midst of their concerns and confusion… and then He empowered them to “go and make disciples of all the nations.” This passage reminds us that sifting through questions doesn't disqualify you; sifting through questions is a healthy part of discipleship. —— For more resources to help you grow in your discipleship journey, visit carlycommunicates.com/resources --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carly-bartlett/support
