How Do We Let God Prevail in Our Lives? – Come Follow Me – Gen 24-33 | Still Learning

Letting God prevail sounds simple, but in real life it often requires surrendering control. Rebecca and Gunnar explore how Jacob’s life illustrates this principle through years of struggle, growth, and divine intervention. From the dream at Bethel to the wrestle at Peniel and the emotional reunion with Esau, Jacob learns that God’s promises unfold in God’s way—not ours. The discussion highlights how humility, repentance, and faith open the door to God’s power in our lives. Rebecca and Gunnar also reflect on how this principle applies today when we face fear, conflict, or uncertainty. The message at the heart of the story is clear: when we trust God enough to let Him prevail, He can transform both our circumstances and our hearts.

What Happens When You Wrestle With God? – Come Follow Me – Gen 18-23 | Still Learning

Some people wrestle with church leaders. Others wrestle with culture. But what happens when you wrestle directly with God? Abraham pleads. The brother of Jared petitions. A desperate Gentile mother refuses to leave. Again and again, scripture shows that holy wrestling draws us closer to God, not farther away from Him. In this episode, Rebecca and Gunnar explore the difference between rebellion and relationship—and why wrestling may actually be a form of embrace.

What If Building Zion Starts With How I See Others? - Come Follow Me - Moses 7 | Still Learning

Before Zion can exist as a place, it has to exist as a way of seeing. In this episode, Gunnar and Rebecca reflect on blind spots, personal growth, and the quiet ways judgment creeps into faith. If Zion is defined by purity of heart, what does that demand of us individually? This conversation invites listeners to consider that building Zion may begin not with changing the world—but with changing how we look at the people in it. Sing for Zion  by Rebecca Burnham Unity's not a single note Bursting forth from a million throats Nor a melody sung in unison By a monochrome multitude It's a glorious refrain in Jesus's name Interweaving stories of grace and glory In tones of gratitude So bring Your uniqueness, your challenging tale And sing Of His goodness of love that can't fail And fling All your fear of rejection far, far away. I need your perspective to balance my own 'Cause no single culture builds Zion alone. So sing out your story for Zion, let's build her today.   I tend to gather with folks like me More comfortable when we agree. A similar life reduces strife Assures me I'm okay. But if I would know God Gonna need to walk In the too-tight shoes Of those, abused, I judged and turned away.   So bring Your uniqueness, your challenging tale And sing Of His goodness, of love that can't fail And fling All your fear of rejection far, far away. I need your perspective to balance my own 'Cause no single culture builds Zion alone. So sing out your story for Zion, let's build her today.   Let's never fear we don't belong. The broken paths we've walked along Have skinned our knees and bruised our very soul. But Oh, the wonder of the grace That found us in our darkest space. Transformed, We testify He makes us whole.   So bring your uniqueness, your challenging tale And sing of His goodness of love that can't fail And fling all your fear of rejection far, far away. I need your perspective to balance my own 'Cause no single culture builds Zion alone.  So sing out your story for Zion, we'll build her today. We'll sing out our story for Zion. And in Zion stay.
