Ep. 35 Biblical literacy leads to confidence

As we continue through our series on Biblical Literacy, we dive into how our confidence builds the more we study the Word. When we learn more about who God is, our foundation of faith builds. Even more importantly, we remember that the God we read about is still the same God today - and that should give us confidence!

Ep. 34 | Biblical Literacy leads to true rest

How do you find true rest? I'm talking about the kind of rest and peace that sustains you through the valley AND mountaintop seasons. The kind of rest that others look at your life and ask you how you seem to be handling it so well. That kind of rest only comes from surrendering to the Lord. And the only way we can truly surrender to the Lord is to build a relationship with Him. You can't build a relationship with someone without getting to know their character. Tune in to hear how pursuing biblical literacy leads to true rest and peace as you learn about the character of God. We walk through some specific Psalms of David that he wrote while he was being hunted down by his father-in-law, King Saul. My hope is to teach a few key skills to studying and applying the Bible so you can live a life surrendered to the Lord and find the rest you've been waiting for. 1 Samuel 21:10-15 ESV Psalm 59, Psalm 56, Psalm 34 ESV Join the community and grab my FREE daily discipleship guide [https://wholefamilymission.myflodesk.com/dailydiscipleshipguide] Follow on IG for bite-size discipleship tips [https://www.instagram.com/wholefamilymission/] Join the FB Group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/8832974163471700]

Ep. 33 | Biblical Literacy - What is it and why is it important?

Well, hellllo, my friends! This episode has been a long time in the making. Meaning, God gave me this topic MONTHS ago and I hesitated, I doubted, I allowed distraction to keep from what He was asking me to do. Biblical literacy is vital for all believers, yet why have most of us never heard of it or really understand what it is and how to pursue it? Press play now to hear how my pursuit of biblical literacy has completely changed my view of God and therefore, myself. This episode is me passing along some hard truths I had to learn along the way to hopefully save you some time and meandering in your faith journey! Since I took an unexpected 3-month hiatus, I wanted to bring you up to date on current life events. You've all been along with me for the ride this past year; including launching the podcast in April 2025, a miscarriage, job loss, starting a business, and all the normal, mundane life things in between. Tune in to hear the latest MAJOR life update that is honestly still surreal! For those local to Southeast Michigan, the next guided nature walk is May 16! Sign up below!

Ep. 32 | God's design for marriage with Pastor Larry Hayward

Did you know God had a specific design in mind for all people, for men and women specifically, and for marriage? I will be honest, this conversation immediately shifted something in my life and in my marriage. I feel like I got an hour of free counseling so I cannot wait to invite you to receive the same gift. Special guest Pastor Larry Hayward is a family and marriage counselor and founder of Harmony in the Home after serving several decades as a pastor in various churches. He has been married over 40 years, has 4 adult children and 11 grandchildren. As he says in our conversation, he and his wife are still best friends after 4 decades together ;) Tune in to hear how in Genesis chapters 1 & 2, men and women are designed to reflect different characteristics of God that when working together, create a beautiful reflection of Him. Unfortunately, Genesis 3 reveals how far they fall from God's original design and how most of us are still struggling with the same issues in our marriages. You will walk away from this episode encouraged, convicted, motivated, and empowered to depend on God and lean into His design for you as husband/wife to develop a Genesis 1-2 marriage.
