True Refuge: Psalm 62:8 | Episode 74

Welcome to a new episode of "This One Thing" as Crystal Wright and Melina Puente share the inspiration penned by David in Psalm 62. His quiet expectation of God and an invitation to experience Him as our refuge is highlighted in verse 8, “O my people, trust in him at all times. Pour out your heart to him, for God is our refuge.”  We know we are called to trust God, and life circumstances create so many opportunities to experience Him as our refuge. Dive into God’s Word with us to delight in the comfort of resting in our True Refuge as we let God's spirit release us from any false refuge that cannot meet our deepest needs. https://www.fetterfree.org/ [https://www.fetterfree.org/]podcast

Fearless Faith: Mark 5:27 | Episode 53

Enjoy our Unfettered Favorite Replay this week. Welcome to another week of "This One Thing" where Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright head back into the book of Mark to examine a faith encounter Jesus had with a desperate and rejected woman. Having experienced great sorrow and loss in every area of her life, she finds herself faced with a decision to either continue to hide in her pain or risk her very life in the hope of being healed. As Mark recounts the miracle Jesus performs on her behalf, he describes this woman's faith to reach for Him. In Mark 5:27 he writes, "When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind Him in the crowd and touched His cloak". Who or what are you placing your hope in today? Do you need a fresh encounter with the God who sees you and desires to free you from the pain and rejection you have experienced? Have you heard about Jesus but are unsure if He is powerful enough to heal the devastation in your life? Do you want to strengthen your trust in God's plans in your life, but find that you barely have the strength to reach out to Him in faith? Jesus understands the weariness you feel, and His encounter with this woman in Mark 5 is an intentional demonstration of His love for those who otherwise have no hope. We pray that through this story you are reminded of Jesus' power to not only heal you of your suffering; but also restore you to a place of honor as His dearly loved child! https://www.fetterfree.org/ [https://www.fetterfree.org/]podcast

Living Hope: 1 Peter 1:3 | Episode 73

Happy Easter! In this week’s episode, Kerri Kenyon Dern and Crystal Wright celebrate the gift of the resurrection by meditating on Peter’s exhortation to the early church to remember that they have been given mercy, new life, and a living hope. In 1 Peter 1:3, he writes, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of hope for all believers because it demonstrates that He not only took on sin and the death we were all destined for but also overcame it! Peter understood that Christ’s victory made it possible for all who put their faith in him, to experience a new birth into a hope more powerful than anything they might face in this world. Join Kerri and Crystal as they discuss the necessity of not simply acknowledging that the resurrection occurred but also allowing its power to be applied to every life circumstance.  We pray that as you reflect on Easter, you will take time to ask yourself these questions: How is the resurrection of Jesus transforming your life? How can you rely more on the living hope you’ve been given instead of looking at your circumstances? What old things in you must be put to death as you experience the new birth of Salvation? God’s heart is for the beauty and power of the resurrection to meet your every need as you keep your eyes on Him...He is your living hope! https://www.fetterfree.org/ [https://www.fetterfree.org/]podcast
