Episode 151: More Than Just a Grumbly Tummy?

We’re back for Episode 151! This week, Jenny and Amanda are tackling a topic that often gets misunderstood, avoided, or just plain done wrong: Fasting. If you’ve ever thought fasting was just a "spiritual hunger strike" to get God’s attention, think again! We’re diving deep into Isaiah 58, where God pulls no punches about what kind of fast He actually wants. Spoiler alert: It’s less about skipping lunch and much more about breaking chains.

Episode 150

Big milestone alert! We’ve hit the big 1-5-0, and to celebrate, Amanda and Jenny are getting back together for a deep dive into one of the most personal corners of the New Testament: The Book of Philemon. It’s short, it’s sweet, and it was originally just a private letter—but it packed such a punch for the early Church that it became Scripture! We’re looking at how a messy situation between a runaway slave and his master became the ultimate blueprint for restored relationships. Whether you're dealing with a friendship fallout or just love a good redemption story, this one is for you. Let’s celebrate 150 episodes together!

Episode 149: Standing in the Presence!

Ever felt completely overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of God? We’ve all been there! This week, we are diving into the breathtaking scene in Isaiah Chapter 6. We’re breaking down the prophet Isaiah’s life-changing encounter with the Almighty—think high-flying seraphim, shaky foundations, and a serious realization of human frailty. It’s a powerful look at what it truly means to encounter Holiness, and more importantly: How are we supposed to respond?

Episode 148: Under New Management! ⛓️🙌 This week, we’re cracking open Romans Chapter 6 for a dive into one of the most paradoxical, challenging, and ultimately freeing concepts in the New Testament: what it actually means to be a "slave to Christ." It sounds heavy, but trust us—it’s a game-changer. We’re breaking down the shift from being "slaves to sin" to finding true life under the "mastery" of Grace and how being "bound" to Christ is actually where real liberty starts.

Get ready for some (hopefully!) great topics and even better conversation. This Week’s Episode: Live from CBLI We’re diving into the deep end with our first episode, and we brought backup!
