    Ep 47 // Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of God: Sober, Alert, and Rooted in Truth // Session 4

    There are countless voices competing to shape the way we think—culture, media, fear, popular opinion, and even deeply ingrained religious ideas. In this final session of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God, Deb and Lori invite us to consider the “algorithms” we may be following without even realizing it—and to bring them back under the light of the truth found in Jesus Christ. Throughout Scripture, we are called to be sober and alert, to test what we believe, and to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. But this isn’t another call to try harder, do better, or somehow make ourselves more spiritual. The Christian life begins and continues with what Christ has already accomplished for us. Jesus is the truth. He is our life. And because of His finished work on the cross, we are not fighting for freedom—we are learning to walk in the freedom He has already given us. Deb and Lori challenge the idea that believers should define themselves by their struggles. A hiker may stumble on the trail, but stumbling doesn’t change who they are or where they are headed. In the same way, our failures do not have the final word over our identity. In Christ, we are overcomers—learning to walk by faith, receive grace, encourage one another, and keep our eyes fixed on Him. This final conversation is a call to humility, prayer, discipleship, unity, and discernment. It is also a reminder that history belongs to God. Nothing unfolding around us is outside His sovereign plan. His Word is true, His promises are sure, and His purposes will be accomplished. So we can live awake but not afraid. Watchful but not consumed. Humble, hopeful, and holy—not because we have mastered the Christian life, but because our confidence rests in the One who has already overcome. This is life. This is liberty. And this is the pursuit of God.

    Ep 46 // Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God: Living as Citizens of Heaven // Session 3

    As America celebrates 250 years, it’s a good moment to pause and ask a deeper question: Where does our identity really come from? In this conversation, Deb and Lori talk about how, even though we live in an earthly nation, our true home is in God’s Kingdom. Our identity, our purpose, and our life are all found in Him. They walk through what it looks like to live by faith instead of just what we can see, why God’s Word should shape how we understand our experiences (not the other way around), and how everything God does in us starts and finishes with His grace. Instead of trying harder or measuring up, we’re invited to live in the freedom of letting Christ live through us. It’s a really encouraging reminder to come back to God’s truth—the “ancient paths” that have always led His people to life—and to rest in His goodness.

    Ep 45 // Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God: Living Free in Christ // Session 2

    In Session 2 of our women's gathering, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God, we explore the beautiful reality of liberty—the freedom that Christ secured for us through His death, burial, and resurrection. What does it mean to be truly free? Is freedom simply doing what we want, or is it something far greater? Together, we examine the difference between the world's definition of freedom and the freedom found in the gospel. Through Scripture, we discover how Jesus has set us free from condemnation, shame, fear, legalism, and the power of sin, inviting us into a new life led by His Spirit. This conversation traces God's redemptive story from the promises of the prophets to the finished work of Christ, revealing our true identity as citizens of heaven and beloved children of God. We discuss what it looks like to walk by faith, renew our minds to what is true, and live from the reality that Christ Himself now lives in us. Whether you're struggling with old labels, striving to earn God's approval, or simply longing to experience more of the abundant life Jesus promised, this session is an encouragement to embrace the liberty that is already yours in Christ. Because freedom isn't found in getting our own way—it's found in living from the life, love, and victory of Jesus!

    Ep 44 // Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God: What Is Eternal Life? // Session 1

    What does it mean to truly live? And what happened when you became a Christian? In this conversation from our Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of God series, Deb and Lori reflect on the life that Jesus offers—a life that begins with being born again and continues in daily fellowship with Him. Drawing from Scripture and their own experiences of walking with the Lord, they discuss the reality of eternal life, the transforming power of God's Word, and the work of the Holy Spirit in revealing Christ to us. Together, they explore the difference between knowing about God and truly knowing Him, discovering that genuine life, freedom, joy, and hope are found in a living relationship with Jesus. This conversation is a reminder that the gospel is not merely a message about life after death, but an invitation to participate in the very life of Christ today. As believers abide in Him, they find assurance of God's presence, confidence in His provision, and joy that remains regardless of circumstances. Join us as we consider the beauty of life in Christ and the reality of the gospel that continues to transform hearts.

    Ep 43 // Embracing Singleness with Jesus // Deb + Laura

    In this deeply honest and beautiful conversation, Deb shares what it has looked like to embrace singleness with Jesus. Together, we talk about seasons of loneliness, unmet desires, surrender, and the gentle work of God in the hidden places of the heart. Rather than hardening her heart through disappointment, Deb shares how the Lord drew her into a deeper intimacy with Him—showing her that He truly is enough. What unfolds is a testimony of friendship, romance, trust, and wholehearted devotion to Jesus. Whether you’re single, married, grieving, waiting, or simply longing for deeper intimacy with God, we pray this conversation reminds you that Jesus meets us fully in every season and lovingly draws us closer to Himself.

    Ep 42 // Walking by Faith, Digging for Truth // A Walk With Deb

    While walking the Weiser Trail, Deb recorded a voice memo conversation with the Lord in real time. No teaching plan. No polished structure. Just an honest walk with God and a willingness to follow where He led. As Deb processes truth out loud, you’ll hear moments of silence, reflection, and even the sound of her stopping to dig after an old metal plate buried in the ground—a moment we almost removed, but ultimately realized carried a deeper picture. Sometimes the Lord calls us to dig. To keep pursuing truth beneath our feelings, fears, and false identities until we uncover what He has always said is true. What if God’s Word is more real than our emotions? This episode is an invitation to slow down, take a walk, and listen with the Lord. We pray it encourages you to lean in, keep digging, and discover again the truth of who you are in Christ.

    Ep 41 // Led by the Spirit, Free from the Flesh // Deb, Lori and Laura

    What does it mean to walk by the Spirit? In this episode, we look at the promise given in Galatians 5—that when we walk by the Spirit, we will not carry out the desires of the flesh. This isn’t about behavior management or trying harder. It’s about living led by Him. As we walk with the Spirit, He produces the fruit. He transforms our desires. And He leads us into a life marked by freedom and fullness in Him. This conversation brings us back to one simple truth: desire Him, walk with Him, and trust what He will do.

    Ep 40 // A Matter of Life and Breath // Session 4: The Love of God

    This episode is the fourth and final session from the A Matter of Life and Breath series , where we’ve been walking through Galatians 2:20—what it means to be crucified with Christ and to now live by faith in the Son of God. This conversation begins in an honest place: forgiveness. In light of the love of God, we often have to confront the ways unforgiveness has taken root in our hearts. Deb shares personally about the weight of unforgiveness, how it leads to bitterness, and how it subtly distorts our ability to believe the truth about who God is. Through repentance and renewal, we’re invited into alignment with what is true—that God’s love is not conditional, distant, or fragile… but constant, personal, and already given. As the conversation unfolds, we return to the anchor of Galatians 2:20: that we are loved, and that Jesus gave Himself for us. This is more than a concept—it’s a reality we’re invited to live from. This episode is a call into deeper discipleship, into living by faith, and into the freedom that comes from being fully known and fully loved by God.
