XAPÀ Podcast Jaclyn Young

In this episode, we begin with a historical and biblical meaning to the name Yahweh, "The Lord."  Jaclyn explains that Yahweh is the Name that God calls Himself. All throughout Scripture and our daily lives, we find that God is ever-present, He never sleeps or turns back on His promises to His children. "There's no better place to rest than in the arms of the Great I Am!"

In this episode, Jaclyn takes us back to the real meaning of Christmas! Though Christmas is a time of celebration, it's also a time to remember Christmas was part of God's plan of redemption. Christmas is the solution to man's problem of sin...the coming of Immanuel. Born to save and redeem, Jesus came with one purpose. Jaclyn also explains that the manger is also a step towards the Cross. "You simply cannot look at Christmas without looking onward to Calvary." As Jesus came to die, the Cross was not the final verdict. We know that He rose on the third Day, conquering sin once and for all, now seated at the right hand of the Father, as our Everlasting Kind and Lord! Merry Christmas!

In this week's episode, Jaclyn encourages us to prepare our hearts as we enter this Thanksgiving with praise for God's blessings He gives to us! Whether in the joys or sorrows of life, Jaclyn reminds us that God always bestows blessing on His children and gives us a heart of thanksgiving. Jaclyn's prayer is that as you gather around the table with family, friends, even a stranger, you allow God to give you a refreshed spirit and a humble heart of thanksgiving for all the blessings in our lives. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

In this episode, Jaclyn concludes our four part series on finding our purpose as God's creation and His children. The age-old question, "is there life after death?" seems to instill doubt and fear in our world. Are our trials ever going to end? Is there a point to life at all? Jaclyn once again provides Biblical evidence for these issues, as she reminds us of the hope and certainty we have that God created us to spend Eternity with Him in His presence.  "Our current sufferings are only a speck on the Timeline of Eternity!"

In this episode, Jaclyn walks through how we as Christians should think about and respond to suffering. God is the Giver of all good things, He doesn't wish to see His children suffer. Through biblical truths and practical application, Jaclyn encourages listeners to see their season of pain as  blessing to grow in their love for Christ as He is our great Comforter and to find joy in Him during the uncertainties of life.

 In this episode, Jaclyn continues our four part series in finding our purpose in life. Jaclyn dives deep into what it truly means to identify as a Christian, and what our purpose is as God's redeemed children. "The Christian's journey is not an easy one, but it's worth it when Jesus is leading the way Home!"
