Doing the Simple Things

Forever Changing

Change is something we all face, but why is it so scary and frustrating? How should we approach change as followers of Christ? In this episode, Isabella shares her perspective of change and celebrates the first year of Up and at 'Em.

Doing the Simple Things

We can often overlook how the simple and obvious "Christian" habits can really change our lives. Praying, reading the Bible daily, and choosing to intentionally rest can bring us closer to God and make it a little easier to trust in Him.

God Is Number One

Have you ever really considered idolatry? Even though it is not regularly discussed, idolatry is one of the easiest sins to slip into, and Isabella learned this lesson firsthand. Luckily, idolatry can be fought, but it begins with an awareness of its severity.

Pursuing God Together

As she concludes her studies of Matthew, Isabella takes us back to the beginning of the book to talk about romantic relationships and what they look like. Mary and Joseph are often talked about individually, but how their individual faiths come together to pursue God is rarely addressed.

Jesus Gets You

Jesus is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Savior of the world, but we often don't pay attention to the fact that He lived a human life too. Jesus's humanity connects us to Him in so many ways, and this can be seen by putting ourselves in His shoes during the moments of His betrayal. He understands where we are because He has been there Himself.
