#195 - Magnify God in Awareness

This week, magnifying God looks like noticing - pausing long enough to recognize God's nearness in ordinary moments. Awareness changes nothing externally, yet it changes everything internally. When we notice God, the moment becomes - holy.

#194 - Magnify HIM

Magnify is a deeply biblical word that naturally moves faith from the abstract into a visible, and daily practice. It's not about making something bigger than it already is, but to make something or in this case, someone, easier to see. My desire is for God to be seen more clearly in the ordinary moments of my life. God is infinite and He certainly does not need us to make Him greater, but He invites us to make Him more visible in our lives. Shalom

#193 - Stepping Forward With God

A new year does not erase the old one. It simply invites us to step forward - with God. This episode is not talking about resolutions or pressure to become someone new. We will talk about faithfulness in the One who has always remained faithful to each of us. Faithful to Him - one step at a time. Remember, faith does not require us to know the whole path - but only to take the next faithful step. Wherever God may lead you this year, He is already there!

#192 - God of the In-Between

Now that Christmas has past, we are in the in-between spaces between it and the new year! The joys of the Christmas season have regrettably ended, but it always leaves me with a hope for a better year to come. God is with us even in the quiet spaces of the in be-tweens of our lives. The highs as well as the lows. We don't know what the future may hold, but we can trust Him with our present moments - just as Mary did. Her life would forever be changed due to being the mother to the Christ child. She trusted her present and entrusted her future into the loving arms of God. May we all do the same while we wait in our in-betweens and look forward to what new things God brings into our lives.

#191 - Advent Continues - Love

As Christmas draws near, we light the final Advent candle - the Candle of Love. Love is the heartbeat of the Christmas story: a God who came close, stepped into our humanity, and embraced us with grace. Never lose sight of the real reason for the season.
