Speak and act with the knowledge that you will stand before Christ one day. If you don’t show mercy don’t expect mercy.
As followers of Jesus, we live in constant tension.
On one hand, we want to honor God and do what he wants. On the other hand, everything in our world is directly opposed to God.
Life in the Kingdom of God is at odds with the ways of the world. You are going to see many things that disagree with your values and—more importantly—with God’s values.

Throughout the quarantine of 2020, David and Billie took a great deal of time to dig into God’s Word. They dug up old bones that they haven’t dealt with and some were already healed so they put them back to rest. Some needed to be unearthed to heal the broken they hadn’t dealt with over time.
So speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you’ll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you’re already doing this; just keep on doing it.
When working through the hard things in marriage we need to build up hope so you’ll be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. No one broken more after than before.

Billie talks about getting caught up in all the things she needs to do and how she can accomplish it independently. Why bother God with the mundane.
When Billie was lying on the table, preparing for surgery, a nurse asked if she needed anything. Billie said she had never felt so powerless in her life. The nurse asked if she could pray.
In that prayer, the nurse talked about God's Holy Spirit's power. She prayed for God's spirit to fill Billie and for her to know that the confidence in the outcome was not in her but Christ.
Boast in Jesus. Make a big deal about him. He must be the focus of our worship. If Jesus is not a big deal, then we cannot worship by the spirit of God. The Holy Spirit was sent to make much of Jesus.

Often, we find ourselves listening to differing voices. The television news gives one story. Social Media points you to a different view. Our friends begin to argue about what is true and what is not. Our trust is misplaced when we cling to people and stories and not the truth.
 
In today's episode, Billie shows us the way to listen for the one true voice to lead us to truth.
 
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand," John 10:27

Growing up in church many don’t read the Bible at home alone, it was only read in church. In Billie's home, they had a big family Bible that sat in the living room but it was to hold family information, first haircuts, pictures, articles, not to be read.
When she started going to church as an adult she was encouraged by the pastor to read the Bible but was intimidated by it. Was she going to understand it? How would she start? Why?
In today's episode, Billie walks you through the six steps that help you to read the Bible.
