    Spiritual Warfare: Is Prayer a Spiritual Discipline or a Relationship?

    When you pray, do you think of it more as chatting with God in relationship or as sharpening your spiritual skills as a discipline? Could it be both? Join Sarah and Mary Beth as they discuss how viewing prayer as both that personal connection to God the Father and as something we need to practice is a great tool in spiritual warfare.

    Glimpses of Grace

    In this episode, Sarah introduces the concept of “Godwinks,” inspired by a Hallmark movie and the book series by SQuire Rushnell and Louise DuArt. A Godwink is defined as an astonishing event or experience of divine origin – not mere coincidence, but a signal from God, often seen as answered prayer. We connect Godwinks to the biblical practice of raising “Ebenezers” (from 1 Samuel 7:12), physical or symbolic markers of God’s faithfulness (“Thus far the Lord has helped us”). As we share a few examples of these glimpses of grace from our own lives, we explore how recognizing both big and small moments of divine intervention – from major life decisions to everyday details – reveals God’s personal care for us.  @thisistrustworthy trustworthypodcast.com   Email us listen@trustworthypodcast.com

    Identity in Community with Tom and Chane' Hart

    Tom and Chane Hart join the podcast! Tom is an RUF campus minister at Furman University and he and Chane are parents of four, veterans of multiple cross-country moves and thoughtful leaders about Christian community. They joined us to talk about identity in Christ, orphan mentalities vs. beloved-child confidence, tiers of relationships, and why authentic community is simultaneously hard, glorious, and only a foretaste of what’s coming. They didn't ask for this, but if you feel a prompting to support their ministry financially, you can donate here.  Key Quotes “A community that forgets mission becomes a ministry machine that crushes people. A community that forgets fellowship becomes a sweet club that slowly dies.” – Tom Hart“Anytime we get really ruffled and upset it reveals our idols.” – Chane Hart“When you are not claiming ‘I am the beloved,’ you cannot walk freely in this world.” – Henri Nouwen (read by Tom)“I am not an orphan. Stop acting like an orphan.” – Chane’s lesson from trauma“Community is hard. It’s worth pursuing. And the best is yet to come.” – Tom HartFind them on Instagram: @whatthehartlikes @furmanruf Recommended Resources Mentioned C.S.
