BUILT - Ep. 14 - When the Word become life

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] In this episode of Rediscovering Faith, we continue our BUILT in the Word series by exploring Jesus' powerful teaching in Matthew 7:24–27. The difference between the wise and foolish builders isn't what they heard—it's what they did. Many Christians spend years reading the Bible, attending church, and gaining biblical knowledge. But Jesus teaches that spiritual maturity isn't measured by what we know—it's revealed by how we obey. God's Word is meant to become the foundation of our lives, shaping our decisions, our character, and our response to life's inevitable storms. Join us as we discover why Scripture is more than information to collect. It is the living Word of God that transforms us from the inside out and builds a life that can stand firm in every season. In this episode you'll discover: • Why hearing God's Word isn't enough • How obedience becomes the foundation of a resilient faith • What Jesus meant by building on the rock • Simple ways to apply Scripture in everyday life • How God's Word shapes us into the likeness of Christ Whether you're new to reading the Bible or have followed Jesus for years, this episode will encourage you to move beyond knowledge and begin living the truth of God's Word.

BUILT - Ep. 13 - Abiding in the Word

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] What did Jesus mean when He said, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples"? In this episode, we explore John 8:31–32 and discover that reading the Bible is about far more than gaining knowledge. Jesus invites us to abide—to remain with Him, make our home in His Word, and allow His truth to shape our hearts over time. We'll also consider how John Wesley understood Scripture as a means of grace, one of God's ordinary ways of drawing us into a deeper relationship with Christ and transforming us into His likeness. If you've ever felt discouraged because Bible reading seemed difficult or unproductive, this conversation will encourage you to slow down, stay close to Jesus, and trust that God is at work through His Word.

BUILT - Ep. 11 - The Bible is an Invitation

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] What is the Bible really for? Many people approach Scripture either with guilt because they don't read it enough or with frustration because they find it difficult to understand. But in John 5:39–40, Jesus offers a surprising perspective: the primary purpose of the Scriptures is to lead us into a relationship with Him. In this first episode of our BUILT Through the Word series, we'll explore why the Bible is much more than a collection of stories, history, or religious rules. It is God's gracious invitation to know Jesus Christ and be transformed by His love. Whether you're new to reading the Bible or have spent years studying it, this episode will encourage you to open Scripture with fresh eyes and discover the Savior to whom every page ultimately points.

BUILT - Ep. 10 - When God Seems Silent

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] Why do some prayers seem unanswered? What should we do when God feels distant or silent? In this final episode of the Built Through Prayer series, we explore Jesus' teaching in Luke 11:5-13 and discover how persistence, trust, and relationship shape our understanding of prayer. We'll examine biblical reasons prayers may be hindered, the difference between God's delays and God's denials, and why God's greatest gift is often not the answer we seek—but His presence with us. If you've ever struggled with disappointment, waiting, or unanswered prayer, this episode offers biblical encouragement and hope. Scripture: Luke 11:5-13, Psalm 66:18, James 4:3 Key Takeaway: God's silence should never be mistaken for God's absence. #Prayer #UnansweredPrayer #Luke11 #Faith #ChristianPodcast #PrayerLife #SpiritualGrowth #TrustGod #Discipleship #ChristianLiving #Jesus #BuiltThroughPrayer #KnowJesus #BibleStudy #DevotionalPodcast #OneFoundationChurch #GodsPresence
