    163. Earthly vs Godly Wisdom | James 3:13-18

    Have you ever wondered if the way you’re thinking, reacting, or making decisions is truly rooted in God’s wisdom? In this verse-by-verse Bible study of James 3:13–18, we uncover the clear and convicting difference between earthly wisdom and wisdom that comes from heaven. James shows us that true wisdom isn’t just about what we know, it’s revealed through how we live, how we love, and how we respond to others. We’ll talk about: What biblical wisdom really is (and where it comes from) The warning signs of earthly wisdom: envy, selfish ambition, and pride How to recognize godly wisdom in your daily life What it looks like to be a peacemaker and sow seeds of righteousness If you’re a Christian mom seeking to live with intention, grow in your faith, and align your life with God’s Word, this episode will both challenge and encourage you.

    162. The Dangerous Power of Your Tongue | James 3:1-12

    In James 3:1-12, we’re confronted with a sobering truth: our words carry more power than we realize. James begins with a weighty warning for teachers, but quickly shifts to something that applies to all of us: the tongue. Though small, it has the ability to direct our lives, destroy relationships, and reveal what’s truly in our hearts. In this verse-by-verse Bible study, we break down: Why teachers are held to a higher standard The connection between our words and our hearts How the tongue can bring life—or destruction Practical ways to surrender our speech to God This isn’t just about what we say, it’s about transformation from the inside out. ✨ If this message encourages or convicts you, share it with a friend and subscribe for more verse-by-verse Bible studies. 📌 If you’re new here  I’m Brooke, a military wife, homeschool mom to 3 boys, and the founder of The Finding Freedom Co., where I create tools that help women manage their time and build deeper relationships with the Lord.

    161. Faith Without Works Is Dead | James 2:14–26

    In this episode, we walk verse by verse through James 2:14–26, one of the most discussed passages in the New Testament. James asks a powerful question: What good is it if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Does this mean our works save us? How does this passage fit with Paul’s teaching that we are saved by grace through faith? Together we unpack: • The difference between claiming faith and living faith • Why works do not earn salvation • How true faith naturally produces action • What Abraham and Rahab teach us about obedience • Why James says faith without deeds is dead Scripture makes it clear that salvation is a gift from God, but genuine faith transforms the way we live. Our works are not the root of salvation, they are the fruit of it. If you’ve ever wrestled with how faith and works fit together, this episode will help bring clarity and encouragement. _________________________________________ 📌 If you’re new here:  I’m Brooke, a military wife, homeschool mom to 3 boys, and the founder of The Finding Freedom Co., where I create tools that help women manage their time and build deeper relationships with the Lord.

    160. Why Favoritism Is a Sin in the Church | James 2:1-13

    In this Bible study, we walk verse-by-verse through James 2:1-13 and examine James’ warning against favoritism among believers. James teaches that faith in Jesus Christ cannot coexist with partiality. When we elevate people based on wealth, appearance, influence, or status, we contradict the very character of God, who shows no favoritism. In this teaching we explore: • Why favoritism is considered sin in Scripture • What James means by the “royal law” to love your neighbor as yourself • Why the poor are often described as rich in faith • How even “small” sins make us lawbreakers before God • What it means that “mercy triumphs over judgment” This passage challenges believers to examine how we treat others both inside and outside the church and calls us to reflect the mercy we have received through Christ. If our faith is real, it will be visible in how we love people. ___________________________________ 📌 If you’re new here  I’m Brooke, a military wife, homeschool mom to 3 boys, and the founder of The Finding Freedom Co., where I create tools that help women manage their time and build deeper relationships with the Lord.

    159. Hearers or Doers? | James 1:19-27

    What proves real transformation? In this episode, we walk verse-by-verse through Epistle of James 1:19–27 and uncover what James says true faith actually looks like. It’s not just hearing the Word. It’s not just knowing theology. It’s not outward religious performance. James confronts us with the evidence of genuine transformation: – Quick to listen – Slow to speak – Slow to anger – Doers of the Word – Care for the vulnerable – Lives unstained by the world We unpack: • Why human anger hinders righteousness • What it means to humbly receive the implanted Word • The danger of self-deception • What “pure and faultless religion” truly is Trials don’t just test endurance. They reveal what’s rooted. The question isn’t “Did I learn something?” It’s “What will I do with what I’ve heard?” ✨ LINKS 👉 Download the James Verse by Verse Study Companion: https://www.thefindingfreedomco.com/shop/p/james 👉 The Finding Freedom Co.

    In this episode, we begin our verse-by-verse study through the Epistle of James by walking through James 1:1–18.James writes to believers who have been scattered, persecuted, and stripped of the stability they once knew. Instead of offering shallow encouragement, he gives them truth: trials have purpose.In this passage we talk about:• Why believers face trials • What the testing of faith actually produces • The difference between testing and temptation • How to ask God for wisdom in difficult seasons • Why doubt leads to instability • The danger of trusting in wealth instead of Christ • The promise of the crown of life • God’s unchanging character and His good giftsIf you are walking through a hard season, this passage reframes suffering in a powerful way. God is not absent in trials, He is refining His people through them.✨ Subscribe for weekly faith-filled encouragement and practical tools for your walk with God, homeschool encouragement, and life in Hawaii as a military family ❤️✨ Follow along on Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok: @brookecollins09 & @thefindingfreedomco✨ LINKS👉 The Finding Freedom Co.

    156. When God Asks You to Let Go | A Candid Life & Ministry Update

    This episode is different. Over the past several months, God has been doing a quiet but uncomfortable work in my heart, stripping away striving, productivity-driven identity, and even good things that had slowly taken His place. In this candid update, I’m sharing what life has looked like lately, what God has been revealing, and why I made the difficult decision to close the Finding Freedom Co. membership, even when it didn’t make sense on paper. We talk about: Living in a season where nothing feels “productive” Wrestling with identity, obedience, and surrender When good things become misaligned What it looks like to be faithful when God has you “on the bench” The changes coming to the Finding Freedom Co. Podcast and ministry This episode isn’t about reinvention or rebranding.It’s about repentance, obedience, and making room for God to lead. At the end, I share what’s next, including a new, slower, Scripture-first approach to studying the Bible together. LINKS: ⁠Join The Finding Freedom Co.
