    EP#403: What Are You Trying to Handle Alone? - Becoming Childlike

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about how dependence on God isn't weakness.  If asking for help makes you feel weak or behind, this one's for you. In today's episode, we're looking at why needing God isn't a setback in your faith—it's actually where spiritual maturity begins.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Hebrews 4:14-16 — Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.  John 15:5 — I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.  Psalm 121:1–2 — "I lift my eyes up. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD." Question God, where am I trying to handle alone what you want me to bring to you?

    EP#402: An Act of Faith: Asking the Hard Thing - Becoming Childlike

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about the question you're afraid to ask God.  What's the question you've been afraid to ask God? This episode walks through Habakkuk's raw complaint and a desperate father's honest prayer in Mark 9 to show that God isn't uncomfortable with your doubts—He welcomes them. It's an invitation to trade the filtered version of prayer for real, honest connection with God.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Psalm 13:1–2 — "How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever?" Habakkuk 1:2–3 — "How long, LORD, must I call for help... Why do you make me look at injustice?" Mark 9:24 — "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" Question God, what question have I been afraid to ask you?

    EP#401: Do You Actually Anticipate that God will Answer You? - Becoming Childlike

Verse Jeremiah 33:3 — "Call to me and I will answer you..." John 10:27 — " My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me..."

    EP#399: Childlike, Not Childish - Becoming Childlike

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about what mature faith recovers from childhood.  Ever feel like spiritual growth means needing God less? In this faith-based reflection, we look at what it really means to become childlike—not childish—in our walk with Him. If you're craving some Christian encouragement and want practical help learning how to hear from God, this episode offers two simple questions you can bring to Him today.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it! Verse Matthew 18:1–4 ESV "At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."  Mark 10:13–16 ESV "And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them." 1 Corinthians 14:20 ESV  "Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature." Question God, what have I outgrown that you want me to recover?  God, how can I receive that from you as your child?  Quick Links Did God Really Say?

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about making prayer a way of life. Prayer doesn't have to stop when you say "amen." In this episode, Jen wraps up our series on the Lord's Prayer with a look at how asking God to deliver us from temptation and evil can lead to real faith-based reflection and a deeper sense of His care for us. If you're looking for Christian encouragement on how to hear from God throughout your ordinary, busy day—not just during set-aside prayer time—this one's for you.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

    EP#397: Forgiveness Doesn't Mean What You Think - The Lord's Prayer for Real Life

    Send us Fan Mail From Today’s Episode In today’s episode, we talk about what forgiveness isn't. Forgiveness feels simple until you're actually facing the person who hurt you. In this episode, we walk through what Jesus really meant when He taught us to pray about forgiveness, and why you can forgive someone without rushing back into trust or pretending the hurt didn't happen. If you're ready for some faith-based reflection on what it looks like to release someone into God's hands, this conversation offers real, grounded Christian encouragement for the one who is tired of carrying what was never theirs to hold.  Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!
