Discovering a Fresh Direction SDET #23

Have you ever sensed that God may be leading you into a new season, but you are not sure what it will look like? In this episode, Deborah reflects on two powerful passages from Isaiah that remind us to stop dwelling on the past and to prepare our hearts for what God is going to do next. Even we do not have the whole plan laid out! Through four reflection questions, she invites listeners to consider where God may be stirring something new in their own lives. Whatever you may be facing, this episode is a reminder not to let fear or comfort keep you from saying yes to God’s leading. Scripture: Isaiah 43:18-19 Isaiah 54:2-3 Isaiah 55:8-9 Galatians 6:9 Galatians 5:22 Questions: 1. What is God stirring in your heart right now? 2. Is there an area you’ve become too comfortable? 3. If fear was not a factor, what step of faith would you take? 4. What “new thing” is God inviting you into?

God Is Still Writing Your Story SDET #22

Whether you are stepping out in faith, doing it afraid, waiting for a breakthrough, or wondering what God is doing in your life, this episode is a reminder that God can use every part of our story for good. He is still at work even when we cannot see it. Scripture: Philippians 1:6 Romans 8:28 Questions: Looking back - What would the younger version of you be proud of today? Looking around - Where have you seen God’s faithfulness in your life lately? Looking ahead - What area of life have you stopped believing God can still work in? Looking up - What would you change if you truly believed God is not finished with your story?
