The Kingdom of Heaven is Like...Knocking at Midnight

Have you ever prayed about the same thing for so long that you almost feel embarrassed to bring it up again? In this episode, we look at Jesus' teaching on bold, persistent prayer- from the friend knocking at midnight to the persistent widow- and what it means when hope feels tired, prayers feel repetitive, and you're tempted to stop asking.  Maybe your midnight prayers are more welcome than you think. #kingdomofheaven #christianpodcast #prayerlife #persistentprayer #parablesofjesus #askseekknock #graceandgrit #faithjourney #christianencouragement

The Kingdom of Heaven Is Like This...But Not Everyone Will See It

Why did Jesus speak in parables? Not just to explain truth… but to hide it. In Matthew 13, Jesus reveals that parables don’t just make things clearer—they actually separate those who are ready to see from those who aren’t. In this episode, we unpack why that matters, and how the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price reveal something deeper: The Kingdom isn’t just valuable… it’s worth everything. #KingdomOfHeaven #ParablesOfJesus #PearlOfGreatPrice #HiddenTreasure #JesusIsWorthIt #SeekFirstTheKingdom #BiblicalTruth #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #GraceAndGrit #ChoosingBetter Click here for my book, Choosing Better: https://a.co/d/0idSiMo9 [https://a.co/d/0idSiMo9]

Stop Circling the Mountain of Unbelief

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck… circling the same issues, the same thoughts, the same patterns? In this episode, we talk about something we don’t always like to name directly — unbelief. Not just doubt, but the kind of unbelief that quietly shapes what we expect, how we pray, and whether we truly believe God will move in our lives. Scripture shows us that unbelief isn’t small — it can actually keep us from stepping into what God has promised. We see it in Hebrews, and even in the Gospels, where Jesus didn’t do many miracles because of the people’s unbelief. At the root of it, unbelief often points to something deeper: a disconnect in how we truly know God as Father. If you’ve been feeling stuck, this episode will challenge you to look at what you’re agreeing with — and invite you to start walking in trust again. clock here for more info about the upcoming retreat: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/crossing-the-jordan-weve-never-been-this-way-before-tickets-1982604601734 [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/crossing-the-jordan-weve-never-been-this-way-before-tickets-1982604601734] click here for more info about my upcoming book: https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Better-Leaving-Mountains-Circle-ebook/dp/B0FVH8PLCM [https://www.amazon.com/Choosing-Better-Leaving-Mountains-Circle-ebook/dp/B0FVH8PLCM]
