Between The Word and I

We Teach People to Serve But Not to Sabbath

This episode dives into the importance of the Sabbath and the way we've lost the ability to truly rest. In a culture that glorifies busyness and constant productivity, many of us (myself included) struggle to slow down and honor the rhythm God designed from the very beginning. Through scripture, we'll explore how rest is not just a suggestion, but an act of obedience and worship. Looking at 1 Corinthians 10:31, Genesis 2:1-3, Deuteronomy 5:12-14, and Isaiah 58:13-14, this conversation challenges us to rethink how we approach our time, our priorities, and our relationship with God.

Forgiveness is Not Optional

Unforgiveness doesn’t stay contained. It spreads. In this episode, we confront what scripture actually says about forgiveness through Philemon and Matthew 6:14–15 and 18:21–22. It’s not just about “letting things go,” it’s about obedience, humility, and reflecting the mercy we’ve already been given. Unforgiveness will take root in your heart and begin to affect your relationships, your peace, and even your intimacy with God. The longer it goes unaddressed, the deeper it grows. And while we often justify holding on to hurt, Jesus makes it clear: forgiveness is not optional for those who have been forgiven. This episode challenges us to stop excusing it, stop avoiding it, and start dealing with it. Because the freedom you’re praying for may be on the other side of the forgiveness you’re resisting. I also open up about my own journey and how I held onto unforgiveness for years towards people who said they loved me but took advantage of my vulnerability. We go there in this episode...so come ready.

God, I'm too young...

“God, I’m too young.” “God, I’m too old.” In this episode, we dive into Jeremiah 1 and confront the excuses we make when God calls us into something bigger than ourselves. We talk about how we often tie spiritual readiness to age, instead of obedience, and how God isn’t limited by where you are in life. If you’ve ever felt unqualified, this episode is your reminder: God doesn’t call the equipped; He equips the called.

How Important is The Gospel to You?

How important is the Gospel to you—really? In this episode, we reflect on 2 Timothy 1 and the call to live boldly in faith. We talk about what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus, not just a borrowed one, and why the Holy Spirit should be our first source of guidance, truth, and understanding. This conversation challenges you to examine your faith, your dependence, and the role the Gospel truly plays in your everyday life.

Who Will Be Your Judge?

In this episode, we dive into Judges 1–2 and the powerful lessons hidden within Israel’s repeated disobedience. Just like the Israelites, we often hold on to things and people God has already called us to release. But what if letting go isn’t about loss, but protection? If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, feeling torn between obedience and comfort, or seeking validation from the wrong places, this episode is for you.
