364 | God Fills His People with Power: The Season of Pentecost

The Spirit fills, empowers, and guides His people. Pentecost is often remembered for dramatic images such as rushing wind, tongues of fire, and bold preaching. But at the heart of the story in Acts 2:4 is a quieter and deeply powerful truth: “They were filled with the Holy Spirit.” In this episode, Angie continues the journey through the Christian calendar by stepping into the season of Pentecost, a season of growth. Rooted in Acts 2, this conversation slows down to reveal the Holy Spirit as the breath, presence, and power of God working within His people.   What you’ll hear in this week’s episode * What the season of Pentecost represents in the Christian calendar * The connection between the Old Testament Feast of Pentecost and the outpouring of the Spirit in Acts 2 * Why the Holy Spirit’s filling is both a gift we receive and a daily practice of walking in God’s power * How the Spirit provides guidance, clarity, and strength in everyday moments * The reminder that the Holy Spirit is our Helper—present with us and within us always   Resources Gather Bundle Includes the Jewish Feasts & Festivals, a Christian calendar, and a simple year-at-a-glance guide that helps you see how both unfold together throughout the calendar year.

It is for today. In this episode, Angie continues the journey through the Christian calendar by stepping into the season of Easter, a 50-day celebration of resurrection, renewal, and new life.

362 | When God Does a New Work in Your Heart: The Season of Lent

God creates what we cannot restore on our own. We often think of change as something we need to fix, manage, or work harder at. However, Scripture reminds us that true transformation begins with God. In this episode, Angie continues the journey through the Christian calendar by stepping into the season of Lent. Rooted in Psalm 51:10, this conversation invites us to reflect on the areas of our lives that need surrender and to remember that God’s mercy meets us there.

361 | Learning to See What God Is Revealing: The Season of Epiphany

God reveals truth to grow our relationship with Him. We often think of revelation as something dramatic or reserved for a select few, but Scripture shows us something much more personal. God is constantly at work, gently uncovering truth, deepening our understanding, and drawing us closer to Him. In this episode, Angie continues the journey through the Christian calendar by stepping into the season of Epiphany, a season of growth and revelation. Rooted in Ephesians 1:17, this conversation invites us to see how God reveals Himself to us through wisdom, insight, and personal understanding. What you’ll hear in this week’s episode * What the season of Epiphany teaches us about growth and discipleship     * What revelation really means in Scripture *  Why revelation is meant to deepen relationship—not just increase knowledge *  How comparison can keep us from receiving what God wants to show us *  Why time spent with God is always shaping us, even when we don’t see it yet   Resources Gather (SOU Study) A 14-week journey inside Steady On University exploring worship, community, and the sacred patterns God uses to form His people.

360 | Believing in Belonging: How Imposter Syndrome Affects our Faith

Belonging is not earned, it’s given. Imposter syndrome has a quiet way of convincing us that we don’t belong, that our gifts aren’t enough, or that we’re only one step away from being exposed. It whispers that faith communities are for other people. In this episode, Angie pauses the journey through the Jewish Feasts and Christian Calendar to address the deeper question of belonging. Rooted in 1 Timothy 1:12, this conversation invites us to see that our confidence doesn’t come from performance, approval, or outcomes; it comes from the calling of Christ Himself.   What you’ll hear in this week’s episode •What imposter syndrome really is and how it affects our faith •Why feelings of “not belonging” often keep us from community and growth •Four common fears that keep us on the sidelines of faith communities •Why Christ’s trust in us matters more than our self-doubt •How believing what Jesus says about us reshapes our sense of belonging   Resources Step By Step Starter Kit A companion resource for anyone learning how to study Scripture with confidence.
