Teach me Lord to wait

Teach me Lord to wait

"Teach Me Lord to Wait" Music & Lyrics: Stuart Hamblin Arranged by: Gerald Moore Teach me Lord, to wait down on my knees, Till in Your own good time You answer my pleas; Teach me not to rely on what others do, But to wait in prayer for an answer from You. Teach me Lord, to wait while hearts are aflame, Let me humble my pride and call on Your name. Keep my faith renewed, my eyes on Thee, Let me be on this earth what you want me to be. Refrain: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their       strength, They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:31) Teach me Lord, to wait.

By faith

Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things unseen. - Hebrews 11:1 Hebrews 11 has been referred to as the "Faith Hall of Fame" as it gives many accounts of the men and women who boldly believed God and acted in faith when reason and human logic may not have supported it.  Kristy and Bonnie discuss how these people were set apart and also set a great example of how we should walk by faith and not rely too much on our own understanding. Because if do not have faith, it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).

The Feely Good Gospel

Sometimes the full truth stings and the half-truth feels good. This episode addresses the way that lies can sneak into our minds from seemingly trustworthy sources to tell us something our hearts desire to believe, even if it doesn't line up with God's Word. The lyrics from the song "Crazy About You" by Tauren Wells are discussed in light of God's truth from both the Old and New Testaments. Specifically discussed is the idea that God has never been mad at you, a declaration made in the song, but contradicted by the Bible; His wrath arises for both his own people and those that oppose him. The truth of this song is that God loves us greatly. However, the true love of God also corrects and convicts- and can come with expressions of emotions that are appropriate in such circumstances. That true love means guiding us to turn from our sin and towards our God who saves.  Scripture to Explore: Genesis 6:5-7  Exodus 4:14 Exodus 15:7 Exodus 32 John 2:13-17 Romans 1:18-32 Romans 2 Romans 7:7-25 Romans 8 For Q&A and discussion about this and other episodes, follow us on Instagram: Http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy [https://instagram.com/godbecrazy?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] Http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy%20 Http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call [Http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call] Http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney [Http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney] Or email us at godbecrazypodcast@gmail.com

Savage grief

Sometimes our world stands still when we receive news we never expected, other times we have months or years to prepare for the loss of those we love. No matter how or when loss finds its way into your life you can be sure you are never really prepared for what comes after. Grief is a process that can make people feel uncomfortable, angry, unexplainable sadness, and a host of other emotions. Although none of us want to become acquainted with it; it is inescapable. Grief will find you. The truth we should cling to as we go through the process is that God is still sovereign. God is still good. He is still with us in the midst of our worst day. He loves us.  "Fear not, for I am with you;  Be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10  For Q&A and discussion about this and other episodes, follow us on Instagram: Http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy [https://instagram.com/godbecrazy?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] Http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy%20 Http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call [Http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call] Http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney [Http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney] Or email us at godbecrazypodcast@gmail.com

Suffering Support-a-tash

This episode is a continuation of the previous one, "Suffering Succotash".  “To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.” - Gordon Allport It’s okay not to be okay. But sometimes that’s not the message we hear from those around us. It may not even be the message we tell ourselves. However, it is still the truth. It should be expected that we will fall apart. We all need to give ourselves and others the permission to feel and reprocess our pain.  How can we best support those we love during hard times? We share a few practical ways along with some not-so-helpful ways too. Regardless of our journey through suffering, as followers of Christ we should be aiming to find joy and an eternal perspective from our pain.  Scriptures to explore: Psalm 16:6-8  Romans 8:28 James 1:2-4  Psalm 46  For Q&A and discussion about this and other episodes, follow us on Instagram: Http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy [http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy]  Http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call [http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call] Http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney [http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney] Or email us at godbecrazypodcast@gmail.com   For Q&A and discussion about this and other episodes, follow us on Instagram: Http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy [https://instagram.com/godbecrazy?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] Http://www.instagram.com/godbecrazy%20 Http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call [Http://www.instagram.com/counselor_on_call] Http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney [Http://www.instagram.com/kikkipenney] Or email us at godbecrazypodcast@gmail.com
