    Ep. 26 | Holidays: An Opportunity for Rejoicing

    We live in a culture saturated with excess, exhaustion, and entitlement. And sadly, the way believers celebrate the holidays often fails to look any different from their unbelieving neighbors and friends. Why is this? What could it look like for Christians to approach the holidays with a fresh, gospel perspective?  We aren’t here to give you the perfect gift guide or decorations tips. You won’t find us telling you what kinds of traditions you should do as a family or how to simplify the holidays so you can experience less stress.  We hope we can offer you something far better! In this episode, Emily and Alyssa talk very practically about why God has given us the holidays as an opportunity for rejoicing. Things we talk about: Where do holidays come from? What is their intended purpose? How can we as Christians lead the charge in rejoicing, celebrating, and enjoying all God has given us? What are some practical ideas for celebrating and setting our hearts right? Memory Making Mom Faithful with Little on instagram

    Ep. 22 | DGRS: He Won't Give Me More Than I Can Handle?

    In Christian culture, we sometimes find ourselves using words or catch phrases that "sound spiritual" but are not necessarily biblical. Emily and Alyssa tackle some of these often misplaced phrases in this series titled, "Did God Really Say...?" In today's episode we tackle the phrase "Did God really say He won't give me more than I can handle?" Is the phrase "God won't give me more than I can handle" even found in scripture? What is the context? "No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]." 1 Corinthians 10:13 (Amplified Version) Do we see examples in Scripture of people who were given more than they could handle? “God will give you all the grace you need in every situation you face.” The importance of understanding your own strengths and weaknesses If Satan were to tempt you, how might he do it? What joy-stealing sins are you most prone to give in to? When are you most susceptible to temptation? How can you prepare for these times? How are you cultivating hope and delight in Jesus?

    Ep. 21 | DGRS: To Go Through Open Doors?

    In Christian culture, we sometimes find ourselves using words or catch phrases that "sound spiritual" but are not necessarily biblical. Emily and Alyssa tackle some of these often misplaced phrases in this series titled, "Did God Really Say...?" In today's episode we tackle the phrase "Did God really say to go through open doors?" Where do we see in Scripture this phrase "open doors"? What potential pitfalls could we fall into if we view life mainly through open doors or closed windows? Just because things appears favorable does not mean it is an open door from God How we often respond to "closed doors" What do we do when it comes to decision making Just Do Something by Kevin DeYoung What decision will help me to better love God and love my neighbor? How will my decision bring glory to God? Am I approaching this decision in a humble way? Coming alongside others as they make decisions by asking good questions "God may, for a time, leave us in a room with the door firmly closed- without the refreshment of an open window."

    Ep. 20 | DGRS: Judge Not?

    In Christian culture, we sometimes find ourselves using words or catch phrases that "sound spiritual" but are not necessarily biblical. Emily and Alyssa tackle some of these often misplaced phrases in this series titled, "Did God Really Say...?" In today's episode we tackle the phrase "Did God really say I cannot judge others?" What does it mean to judge? What is the definition of "judge"? Who is the ultimate judge and what is their authority? Are there any situations where Christians are called to judge? What is my response when judges me? Thanks for the Feedback: The Science and Art of Receiving Feedback Well by Douglas Stone Why it matters to be in community with other godly people "What are some areas in my life where you see I have blindspots?"

    Ep. 19 | DGRS: I Am a Sinner?

    In Christian culture, we sometimes find ourselves using words or catch phrases that "sound spiritual" but are not necessarily biblical. Emily and Alyssa tackle some of these often misplaced phrases in this series titled, "Did God Really Say...?" In this episode we tackle, "Did God really say I am a sinner?" In our conversation we discuss: What is sin? "Sin: Sinning is any feeling or thought or speech or action that comes from a heart that does not treasure God over all things." -John Piper What do I do with the daily sin that keeps coming up again and again? "Saints, Sinners, and Sufferers" by Michael Emlet What is our identity and how does knowing this change the way we live? “Everyone has a gospel story they believe. It may not be the gospel of the kingdom of God- the good news of Jesus Christ, but it is a gospel narrative nonetheless. Creation- what do they find their identity or sense of purpose and significance? Fall: whom or what is the fundamental problem they blame for the things that are broken in their lives? Redemption: what or whom are they looking to as their savior to rescue and redeem them? New creation: what does transformation look like and what is their ultimate hope for the future?” -Jeff Vanderstelt
