Reset the Foundations: Mastering the Art of Intentional Thought in Desert Places 15:45

11M ago15:45

15:45

It's no secret that when life gets tough, the thoughts we think can get wild. The wilderness is a vulnerable place and vulnerable places often call for more vigilance, discipline, and intention. In challenges, discomfort, the unknown, and the unforeseen, it is vital that we cultivate and maintain a disciplined thought life. Every thought we think i…

Prayer 21:10

11M ago21:10

21:10

Let's talk about prayerlessness. It is so easy to find yourself in the Wilderness refusing to talk to God or expecting God to answer your prayers. Prayerlessness is often the result of a deeply disappointed soul that simply stops asking and stops hoping for anything more than what will be. But not only is that a position of defeat, it is also a sur…

Participate 14:07

11M ago14:07

14:07

This one is for the down and outs, the bedraggled, and the ones who are showing up technically but not really. Dry, discouraging places can really take it out of us, but that's not their purpose. They are an opportunity to lay down what no longer fits to step into who we were meant to be. But for that chrysalis of a process to begin we have to agre…

Time 13:27

12M ago13:27

13:27

Tip #1- Give it time. When seasons change on us it can take time to get our bearings, settle in, and be able to hear what exactly God is saying. Often times we fight the discomfort of the new and unfamiliar because we just want the discomfort to go away. But I would contend that in easing into this new thing God is doing and allowing what is to unf…

Do What You Know To Do 39:45

2y ago39:45

39:45

I'm going to be honest, the last thing you want to do is the thing you need to do. When life is throwing a curveball or ten, we tend to quietly (or not so quietly) tap out if nowhere else but on the inside. We disengage from many of the helpful things because they can just feel too much. But in this way we stop showing up for ourselves in a way tha…

INTENTIONS 27:25

2y ago27:25

27:25

Intentions. That can sound woo-wooey but the truth of the matter is if you are not setting an intention you are headed in no direction in particular. You're a wanderer. And no shade to my nomads but sometimes the wandering life in wilderness spaces is really just our response to being overwhelmed. We stop making decisions because we can feel so tos…

Being Open and Flexible in Life ft. Cathy Jackson 38:53

3y ago38:53

38:53

One of the most difficult aspects of life is its unpredictable nature. But one of the most beautiful and surprising things about life is also that unpredictability. What can often rob us from seeing the beauty of the unpredictability is our own resistance to the change of pace and natural rhythm and flow life may be taking, no matter how we expecte…

Accepting Life on Life's Terms ft. Dianna K. Benjamin 40:14

3y ago40:14

40:14

Life *le sigh* It sometimes just does what it wants to do. What can cause us so much pain, anxiety, and depression is the desire to control all or some of life's uncontrollable capacities.

When Life Goes Left ft. Jasmine Souers 48:10

Life has this uncanny capacity to completely blindside us in often unnerving, earth-shattering ways. Jasmine Souers is no stranger to this reality. By the time her 30th birthday arrived, Jasmine had already survived breast cancer, a bilateral mastectomy, and a divorce. If resilience had a poster child, this chick would most certainly be in the runn…

Prayer is that thing that all Christians know we ought to do, but I know many of us don't quite know where to start when we talk about being effective in prayer.

We are living in the middle of a viral outbreak and there is no better time to examine how to use our faith when our bodies are under attack.

When You're Tired of Waiting 37:29

On the episode, we discuss the proper way to recover from weary waiting, the…

When You Don't Know Him 25:55

Here's the thing- you can't trust someone you don't know and you sure aren't going to be willing to follow them into the unknown without a backlog of trust. Not knowing God- like knowing Him knowing Him, makes trusting His commands, instructions, and intentions beyond hard. Knowing God's heart and Who He says He is allows for trust to fill the spac…

Sis. Let's be honest- sometimes you just wanna do what you wanna do. We've all been there (some of us are there in park). The reality, though, is that when God's voice takes a backseat to our agenda, we need to check ourselves. Walking with God is a by-product of trusting Him and going our way often shows us where we ain't trusting. On this episode…

It is often said that Christianity is about relationship not religion. But what does that practically look like? Walking with God, doing life with Him is the crux of the Christian life but it can feel overwhelming to know where to start (or even if you're doing it right). It's ok- walking with God is as much of an experiment as it is an adventure. …

4+ y ago45:09

45:09

The Love of God. It is the best and most central aspect of our faith and yet living the reality of being dearly loved by God is often an elusive but longed after whim. We often see God as disappointed in us, obligated to but not in love with us, and distant. But He is far from that! God is crazy about His kids and in this episode we get into the pr…

Ep. 13: God With Us 44:34

4+ y ago44:34

44:34

One of the hardest things in life is to build something in the midst of a chaotic situation. The devil is an opportunist so whether life is just being life or there is an all out battle raging in your life, his constant objective is to divide and conquer. Being a flabby Christian, who has let some core disciplines slip, is the best way to get caugh…

So is it just me or is it super tempting to provide commentary on how other people should be doing things? I'm talking about being critical. The more I walk through this life with Jesus the more He keeps pointing stuff out to me like how to love and use my words to build up not tear down and stuff like that. To be frank, it's easier to do what feel…

Hey there. So...fear. I'm going to just come out and say it: I don't believe fear should be tolerated in any way. Reverence and respect is one thing- fear is a beast of a different color.
