    Bonus Episode: INSTANT REPLAY: Quiet Hearts during Christmas

    Send us a text The lights are bright, the lists are longer, and yet something in us still aches for a quieter center. On Christmas Eve, we press pause on our regular series and lean into a short but piercing psalm—Psalm 131—to find a perspective that steadies the heart. Not a lecture, but a living-room moment: kids, tape, laughter, and the sudden clarity that presence beats performance and worship beats worry. We dig into the psalm’s core image of a weaned child—calm, content, and anchored—not because life is easy, but because trust has grown. That picture reframes the season. We talk candidly about how pride can hide in busy generosity, how we grab for control when money, health, or expectations slip, and how the incarnation is a mystery meant to be adored more than solved. The birth of Jesus—fully God and fully man—sits higher than any tradition, plan, or gift, and setting him first simplifies everything else. You’ll hear why letting go of “matters too great” isn’t defeat but discipleship, how a quieted soul fuels better love for family and neighbors, and how returning to first love resets joy. We contrast trivial treasures with the God who withholds no good thing and gave us his Son. The result is a gentle but firm call: worship Christ, find contentment in his care, and carry that peace into every room you enter. If this message helps you breathe a bit easier and center on Jesus, share it with someone who needs that same peace.

    Season 9: Episode 9 (Livestream)- Covered: Trusting God In Hard Seasons

    Send us a text When the holiday laughter fades and the room gets quiet again, the old aches return: bills, diagnoses, strained friendships, the gnawing sense that you’re pushing hard and sliding back. We go there with Psalm 31 and let David show us how to live honestly in the tension—naming pain without pretending and trusting God without numbing. We start with the emotional drop that follows celebration and move into David’s raw inventory of grief, loneliness, and exhaustion. Then we ask the question that holds the whole episode together: what does courage look like when the circumstances won’t budge? Psalm 31 offers a clear path. Tell the truth about where you are. Refuse the shortcut of denial. Put your weight on the God who doesn’t change when everything else does. We explore how trust is not a feeling but a practice—casting cares, choosing prayer over panic, and returning to the shelter of God’s presence. You’ll also hear a personal story from repeated hospital stays during a high‑risk pregnancy and the line that reshaped everything: if God wanted me out, I would be out; since I’m still in it, He’s in it with me. That perspective doesn’t erase pain, but it anchors the heart.  By the end, we leave you with a simple refrain to carry through the week: you are covered—behind, before, and beside. If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with someone who needs courage today, and leave a quick review so others can find it. What’s one burden you’ll name—and trust God with—this week?

    Season 9: Episode 7 (Livestream) - From Drought To Downpour

    Send us a text We open 1 Kings 18 and walk with Elijah through a season of drought, a dangerous assignment to face King Ahab, and a small sign that turns into a storm. The journey isn’t neat. That tension—acting on God’s promise while the sky stays empty—speaks straight to anyone waiting for change. This is soul work for anyone wrestling with waiting, courage, or spiritual clarity. We talk about what real obedience looks like when fear is loud, why the blessing is found in alignment rather than outcome, and how the voice of God often meets those who make room to listen.  We explore how to notice small signals, interpret them with wisdom, and move when God moves. If you’re hungry for biblical encouragement, spiritual resilience, and practical steps to wait well, this conversation offers a path from scarcity to storm. If this message meets you in a dry season, share it with a friend who’s watching the horizon too.

    Season 9: Episode 6: (Livestream) - Finish Strong

    Send us a text When we then sit with Paul in his closing chapter, where he calls his life a drink offering poured out to God. No grand flex, no tally of achievements—just a clear testimony: fought the good fight, finished the race, kept the faith. We unpack his charge to keep a clear mind, avoid foolish quarrels, endure hardship, and teach with gentleness. This is practical discipleship for modern noise: focus over frenzy, compassion over clout, integrity over impulse. If you’re tired, doubtful, or tempted to bow out, you’ll find honest encouragement here.  Calling is not a spectator sport. Whether your arena is a classroom, a kitchen table, a spreadsheet, or a sanctuary, faithfulness looks like steady obedience when applause fades. We talk about staying in the ring when cynicism bites, trusting God’s presence in the heat, and choosing meaning over metrics. The promise isn’t that the road is smooth; it’s that we don’t walk it alone. Finish strong is more than a slogan—it’s a posture that protects your faith when feelings fluctuate and timelines slip. Your life matters. Your hidden acts of love matter. And the crown of righteousness is not reserved for a few, but for all who long for Christ’s appearing. If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs strength for their next step, and leave a review so more people can find this conversation.

    Season 9: Episode 5 (Livestream) - Trusting God

    Send us a text Start with a mustard seed, end with a sky full of stars—that’s the journey we walk through as we sit with Abraham in Genesis 15 and ask the same honest question he asked: How will I know? We explore the turning point where God answers doubt not with scolding, but with a covenant sealed by Himself. In a world obsessed with proof on demand, this story shows a God who binds Himself to His people, translating faithfulness into a language Abraham could feel and trust. We unpack the ancient meaning of covenant, the dramatic ceremony of passing between the pieces, and why it matters that God alone walks through while Abram sleeps. That single act reframes faith from self-effort to surrender, from earning to receiving. It also points forward to Jesus and the new covenant, where Jesus takes our sin so we can inherit the promise. Along the way, we get practical about growing faith: how to follow when the map isn’t clear, how to handle missteps without quitting, and how simple obedience builds spiritual muscle over time. For those who feel far from their first love, we offer a gentle return. The invitation isn’t to perform but to follow—to bring even mustard seed faith and watch God do the heavy lifting. If you’re craving a reset, biblical clarity, and a reminder that God finishes what He starts, this conversation is your nudge. Listen, reflect, and share with someone who needs courage to take the next step. If this spoke to you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what promise are you choosing to trust this week?

    Season 9: Episode 4 (Livestream): - From Hopeless To Hopeful: Active Faith

    Send us a text Hope sounds simple until life lands a punch. We open 2 Kings and dive into the story of the Shunammite woman to explore how real hope behaves when the stakes are highest: it moves, it prepares, and it speaks “all is well” while running straight toward God’s presence. This isn’t sentimental optimism. It’s a practiced, resilient stance rooted in the character of a resurrecting God. We trace the arc from “don’t get my hopes up” to bold, active faith as a mother refuses to plan a burial and instead prepares for a miracle. That theme matters now, as headlines stir fear, depression climbs, and quick fixes keep missing hearts. Programs and policies have their place, but the only permanent solution is the presence and power of Jesus Christ. You’ll hear practical ways to live Joshua 1:9—be strong and courageous—as daily choices instead of temporary feelings. We talk about shifting from paralysis to pursuit, from worry to worship, and from resignation to resurrection expectation. If your spirit is tired, this conversation offers a clear path back to the hope of glory and the One who holds your future steady. If this message lifts you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage today, and leave a review so more people can find a living word of hope.  Where do you need to practice active faith this week?
