Are You Allowed to Doubt? The Truth About Faith and Discernment in James 1 | 63

Have you ever felt like you have to be completely certain before God will answer you? In this episode we continue our series on James 1, digging into Scripture to ask: what does it actually mean to doubt? We unpack the Greek words behind faith and doubt in this passage, and discover that both are less about intellectual certainty and more about where your trust in God actually rests. Faith in action. This is biblical encouragement for anyone in a season of discernment who feels tossed by uncertainty. Journal prompts are included to help you reflect on where your heart is divided and where it's fully His. Hi, I'm Jenny Fulford! I love Jesus and I'm a guided journal creator.

When You Pray for Wisdom and Hear Nothing: Discernment and Trust in God in James 1 | 61

Have you ever prayed for wisdom and felt like God went silent? In this episode we dig into James 1:5-8, one of the most misunderstood passages in Scripture about discernment, and unpack what God is actually promising when He says He'll give wisdom to those who ask. This is biblical encouragement for anyone who has felt stuck, confused, or like they're the problem in why they can't hear God's voice. We talk about what wisdom really means, why discernment is about your heart as much as your choices, and how trust in God is at the center of it all. Grab your journal, there are prompts at the end to help you process where you are right now. Hi, I'm Jenny Fulford! I love Jesus and I'm a guided journal creator.

Why God Gave You Needs (And What Happens When You Outsource Them to AI) | 60

AI is changing our world quicker than any of us realize or are ready for, and it is impacting our relationship with God and ability to hear His voice. AI makes big promises about meeting our needs and making our lives better, but what if our neediness was a gift and not a burden to shrug off as quickly as possible? Through the lens of Wendell Berry's work on community and place, we'll look at how limits and needs are actually part of the groundwork God laid in the human race for deep relationship. When we ignore those limits and seek the quickest and most convenient ways possible to meet those needs, what do we miss out on? This episode gets practical for your discernment and faith journey with biblical encouragement and a very needed reframe in our digital distracted age. In a world that pulls at our hearts from all directions, Jesus is inviting us into depth of relationship that no man-made machine can match.  Make sure to sign up for our newsletter at laurentpaperco.com/newsletter for weekly journal prompts sent straight to your inbox!
