"Sometimes we make our own wilderness, but God is still faithful to meet us there..." - Nicole Boyd

This week we are diving into the theme of walking through a wilderness, those difficult times where you feel dry and exhausted. Sometimes, we feel stuck in "wildernesses" of our own makings, and other times, God leads us into the wilderness. These are times of testing and trial, but no matter which you feel, God is always faithful to walk with us.

"We know that God will use all things and turn them for His good." -Hannah Davenport

We get to hear from the amazing Hannah this week! We are somewhat spring boarding off of the topic from our last episode, all about how we can trust God even when we have to wait for a promise. Hannah is bringing out two examples from the Bible of women who had to wait for the promise, discussing the differences in each of their lives in how they handled their periods of waiting. What can we learn from them in our own lives when things don't seem to be happening on our timelines...

Welcome to a very special episode as we celebrate the Christmas Season! Most of the team went to a performance that was put on in our community, called Behold the Lamb by Andrew Peterson. It follows the story of the Gospel from Creation to the Fall through the Prophets and into the Birth of Jesus. This week, we'll be discussing what stood out to us from the concert and what God spoke to us through it.

We encourage you to take a moment to slow down this week and behold the beauty of our Savior.

"Do not let me eat the sweet morsels that the enemy sets before me to trap me in anger and gossip..." Pastor Cheri

Pastor Cheri is coming with an amazing word this week, taken from Psalm 141. This season has been difficult for her, and for so many of us. Difficult seasons often signal immense growth. This week we will be diving into this subject of how the Lord matures us through those seasons, using others to teach and reprove us, and how we should not be drawn into the traps the enemy lays for us to draw us into division.

"I see what's going on in the world and God is asking me, "Why aren't you asking Me to intervene...?" - Amanda Morris

This week we have a powerful episode for you about the biblical principle of lamenting. We, as the Church, have forgotten the power of lamenting, which not complaining or whining, but is an expression of grief wrapped in hope. Amanda explores lamenting and how we can do so in a healthy manner.

Show Notes:

Psalm 13

Thank you again for joining us for our special guest, Pastor Charlene, as she has been talking about heart surgery, forgiveness, and finally, what it looks like in recovery. When someone goes through heart surgery in the natural, there is a set list of guidelines and prescriptions that need to be followed to ensure a smooth recovery. It is the same with our spiritual walk and heart surgeries that we go through along the way. We must trust the Lord in those times, and do what He says in order to heal correctly. The Lord asks us to allow him to take things out of lives and hearts, but He doesn't leave us there alone to try to figure out our own way to healing. He is faithful to walk through those seasons with us!
