Episode # 1033, "Not so Wormy!"

Episode # 1036, “An Emotional Awake Faith”!

Welcome to Ep. #1036 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/1036] - “An Emotional Awake Faith”!   We’ve all seen it and been there ourselves… Something happens and you're already reacting before you even knew you were upset.  Whether we said something you didn't mean, or went quiet when you should have spoken, or spent three hours managing an emotion you never actually saw or considered the source of.   This is broken, it’s a whole culture where something inside us is running the show, playing scripts we haven’t chosen, in roles we didn’t want - and few are entirely aware of what it is or that it’s even happening.   What if the problem isn't that you feel too much — but that you've never learned to listen to what your feelings are actually telling you?  And what if that changes everything about how you live, love, and trust God?

Episode # 1035, "Why the Cross? (More than Revelation)"

Welcome to Ep. #1035 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/1035] - “Why The Cross (More Than Revelation)”  What problem did Christ solve on the cross?  Was it just revelation of something about us, or is it offering, inviting something entirely different?  That wasn’t yet true?

Episode # 1034, "Perfect Joy of Beautiful Focus!"

Welcome to Ep. #1034 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/1034] - Perfect Joy of Beautiful Focus! Have you ever had a hard week - your temper short, your thought life a mess, your devotion thin - and underneath the discouragement, a quieter, colder question surfaced?  What if I'm not really saved?  Maybe you've never heard that taught directly, but you've felt it in the air: if you were truly reborn, your life would show consistent, increasing victory over sin, right?  And if it doesn't always, so maybe you were never saved at all? What’s real?  What’s true?  How do we know?

Episode # 1033, "Not so Wormy!"

Welcome to Ep. #1033 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/1033] - “Not so Wormy!”  There’s a voice that says the most honest thing about you is your wretchedness.  That your joy is shallowness.  That your peace is naivety.  That if you just felt broken enough, long enough, deeply enough — then maybe God would finally be satisfied with you.  But what if that voice isn’t speaking for God at all?  What if the most radical thing you could do isn’t feel worse about yourself, after all? How do we know what to believe when self-deprecating religion sounds so humble?

Episode # 1032, "Always Enough!"

Welcome to Ep. #1032 [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/1032] - “Always Enough!”  No matter how hard we try, why doesn’t it feel like enough?  We want to do better, to do more for God and others, but we have real limits - is our hope that God understands or that He will make up the difference because we get a “A” for effort?  Should we feel good or bad about all the trying and not quite arriving?  What if obedience was never meant to work the way you’ve been living it?  The answer might not be what you’ve been taught.
