Don't Tell Me Not To Worry!

Instead of succumbing to panic and believing we must solve all our problems on our own, Jesus reminds us that over-dependence on ourselves keeps us in places of high stress and anxiety. True trust transcends self-reliance. Mark 4.   Pod 224

Divine Timing-How Waiting On God Shapes Our Responses

Today, we explore Jesus' counterintuitive teaching that requires us to learn how to wait on the empowerment of the Holy Spirit before we act. This transformative practice of waiting shows us that the most potent action can be inaction. It's during these inactive times we are inwardly changed, and that, in turn, affects how we respond to life's challenges.    Acts 2 Pentecost Pod 223  

Beyond Regret: Finding Peace In Our Past Choices

While many of us long to rewrite our past and undo poor decisions, God is not limited by our failures and weaknesses. Pod 222. Text Acts 1

Guided By Obstacles:Embracing God's Correction

Have you ever felt like obstacles and roadblocks are more than just challenges? Perhaps they are divine messages guiding us toward our true path. In this teaching, we explore the idea that these closed doors, blocks, and hurdles serve as a guide to steer us in the right direction. Text Acts 1:6.  Pod 221

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ease Matters-Guidance When We Feel Driven

Ease Matters-Guidance When We Feel Driven

Jesus' teachings encourage us to find rest and ease instead of constantly pushing ourselves to the limit. By staying connected to him, we can allow things to come to us and trust the path ahead. Sometimes, the best way to move forward is by stopping.  Text Gospel of John 14 Pod 220

Uncomplicated Direction: Listening To God's Voice

Jesus taught us that listening to God's guidance is surprisingly more accessible than we think. The capacity to hear God is innate within us, much like a sheep instinctively follows its shepherd's voice. The text is the Gospel of John 10. Pod 219

It's Going To Take Sometime, This Time-Times Of Transition

In the midst of change and transition, if grief is added to the mix, we can feel lost and directionless. Yet, it is during these challenging times we often encounter profound moments of divine intervention guiding us toward a new understanding of ourselves and our reality.     Text Luke 24 Emmaus.  Pod 218

Unlocking Shalom: Finding Peace In The Midst Of Fear And Doubt

Fear and doubt are inherent parts of our journey in this world. Jesus, the risen One, meets us and knows where to find us even when we cannot help ourselves. Text John 20:19-31 Pod 217

When You Are Not Feeling The Presence Of God

On that first Easter morning, Jesus' friends struggled to recognize him. This alive resurrected one was the same, and yet he wasn’t. We, too, have a steep learning curve in recognizing the presence of God in our everyday lives.  Pod216

Don't Ask Me I Have No Idea What Is Going On Here

Are you going through a time of change, stress, and confusion? Today, we explore the idea that our interpretations of events as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ do not reflect the complete picture. The text is Mark 11. It’s Palm Sunday, the last week of Jesus’ earthly life, and as far as Jesus’ closest friends' experience, life can’t get much worse. Pod 215
