BUILT - Ep. 18 - Helping Someone Else Burn Brightly

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] Discipleship was never meant to stop with us. In this episode of Rediscovering Faith, we explore Paul's words in 2 Timothy 2:2 and discover God's beautiful pattern for spiritual growth: Paul invested in Timothy, Timothy invested in faithful people, and they invested in others. Following Jesus isn't about having all the answers—it's about faithfully passing along what God has done in your life. Join us as we consider how encouragement, mentoring, and authentic relationships become the way God's Kingdom spreads from one life to another. Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:2 Topics: Christian discipleship, mentoring, spiritual growth, encouragement, authentic relationships, leadership development, Kingdom multiplication.

BUILT - Ep. 17 - Who Tends Your Lamp?

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] None of us were meant to follow Jesus alone. In Episode 2 of the BUILT Together series, we explore Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 and ask a deeply personal question: Who tends your lamp? Spiritual drift rarely happens overnight. More often, our passion for Christ slowly grows dim through distraction, disappointment, or isolation. That's why God has designed the Christian life to be lived in authentic relationships. Discover why biblical community is far more than attending church on Sundays. God uses brothers and sisters in Christ to encourage us, challenge us, pray for us, and help us persevere in faith. Authentic relationships aren't simply a blessing—they're one of God's primary means of shaping us into the likeness of Jesus. In this episode, we'll reflect on the importance of having people who know your story, ask about your soul, and lovingly point you back to Christ when your lamp begins to fade. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9–12 Join us as we continue learning that God builds people through people, and discover how authentic Christian relationships help keep the light of faith burning brightly.

BUILT - Ep. 16 - You Were Never Meant to Burn Alone

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] Was the Christian life ever meant to be lived alone? In this first episode of our BUILT Together series, we explore one of the most overlooked truths in Scripture: God builds people through people. Looking at 2 Chronicles 29:15, we discover that the Temple wasn't restored by one faithful Levite—it was restored because "they gathered their brothers." That simple phrase reveals God's pattern for spiritual growth, discipleship, and revival. From the Old Testament to the New, the Lord has always formed a people, not just individuals. We'll reflect on the powerful image of the Temple lamps that had gone out and ask an important question: Who has helped keep your lamp burning? Whether it was a parent, pastor, mentor, friend, or fellow believer, God often uses authentic relationships to strengthen our faith and draw us closer to Christ. If you've ever wondered why Christian community matters, why discipleship is relational, or how God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary spiritual work, this episode is for you. Scripture: 2 Chronicles 29:15 Join us as we discover that while faith must become personal, it was never meant to become private. Together, let's continue being BUILT on Christ, through prayer, in the Word, and together with His people.

BUILT - Ep. 15 - The Word Sends Us Out

Send us your questions and reflections! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2446577/fan_mail/new] The Bible was never intended to stop with us. In the final episode of our BUILT in the Word series, we turn to James 1:22–25 and discover that God's Word not only transforms our hearts—it sends us into the world to live out the Gospel. James compares Scripture to a mirror that reveals who we truly are. But seeing the truth isn't enough. Followers of Jesus are called to become "doers of the Word," allowing what God teaches us to overflow into our relationships, our workplaces, our neighborhoods, and our everyday lives. This episode explores how regular time in Scripture prepares us to love others, serve faithfully, and point people toward Jesus. God's Word forms disciples who are ready to participate in His mission wherever He has placed them. In this episode you'll discover: • Why James calls the Bible a mirror • What it means to be a doer of the Word • How Scripture prepares us for everyday mission • Why discipleship always moves outward • A practical question to ask every time you read the Bible If you've ever wondered how Bible reading connects to everyday life and sharing your faith, this episode will encourage you to see Scripture as God's invitation to participate in His work in the world.

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.
