Welcome to Ep. #1028 - How Might God Make Much of Grace?

Are you shrinking so Christ can be increasing? Should you? Can you?

Stick around. This one might change everything you thought you knew about that verse - and much of how you live out His Life.

Welcome to Ep. # 1027 - The Beautiful Hazard of Life Together!”

The incredible irony that God has made us to know him through one another, and made us to live in His character with one another, is the very thing that makes us completely incompatible with one another apart from Him!

Maybe the greatest miracle in the universe, the greatest Divine feat in history, is that we can love one another today!

Grab your coffee and pull up a comfy chair and let’s dive in to the richness of his grace together as we explore this incredible mystery of how he has by Grace perfectly fitted us to one another.

Good morning, Grace tribe! Welcome to Ep. #1026 - “Not from around here, are you?”

Not sure if you’ve ever returned to places you used to live in it no longer felt like home, but that certainly our life in Christ, isn’t it?

We used to be from here, living like the locals, but we’re not from around here anymore!

We’re gonna talk about how and why that is today in a very interactive way, so pour yourself a cup of coffee, find your comfy chair, maybe pull out your favorite journal, and invite a friend.

Welcome to Ep. #1025 - “When Sorrow Gets Loud…”

Sometimes loss & hurt hit so deeply that everything familiar suddenly feels fragile. And somewhere in the middle of the ache we can scramble to find what actually holds when the world hurts this much.

What does it look like to trust (or encourage someone to trust). What is eternally true when your emotions are screaming something else?

Welcome to Ep.# 1024 - Proceeding!

You’ve sat down with God and come away feeling like you did it wrong. Like you weren’t focused enough, or sincere enough, or whatever enough. Like something was supposed to happen and it didn’t — and the problem was you.

But What if the river doesn’t need you to start it? What if it’s already moving — right now, through you, whether you felt it this morning or not? The truth might not be what you’ve been taught.

Happy Wednesday! Welcome to Ep. 1023 - Our Eternal Shepherd!

Does God actually know you? Not know of you. Know you — by name, as a specific person He is specifically attending to? The answer might not be what you’ve expected.

Welcome to Ep.#1022 — “The Backup Plan! “

You didn’t plan to stumble and cope. You didn’t sit down and decide this sin was a good idea. But before you even made a conscious choice, it seemed you were already reaching toward it, again.

What if the problem isn’t your willpower? What if it isn’t even your behavior? The answer might not be what you’ve been taught.

Welcome to Ep. 1021 — Rubbish!

You’ve been doing all the right things. Showing up. Staying faithful. Building something for God. And underneath all of it, there’s a quiet accounting that never quite closes. A low-grade pressure that sometimes feels less like calling and more like unbelief. You don’t feel like a failure. You feel like a project - the proverbial “work in progress”. And the project is exhausting.

What if the very things we are most proud of - the faithfulness, the track record, the righteous-looking and dutiful version of ourselves - what’s exhausting? Actually an obstacle? And if so, what do we do? The answer might not be what you’ve been taught.
