Today will include a few real life moments, but you and I will also consider what God does with small things. Small and ordinary can turn to more than enough (not just enough) when placed in God's control. John 6:1-13 Matthew 14:13-21 My prayer is that today's episode has encouraged you. I have sincerely prayed for you that will listen. Jesus reminded me of this concept (less than a week ago), but yesterday I couldn't get it out of my head. I knew that someone that will listen...

Come and listen in on this interview with Meg Najera.  Meg is both the host of Unedited podcast and the author of Unedited: Hope & Healing Through the Simple Habit of Bible Reading and Prayer.  Both of these have so greatly inspired and encouraged me.

I promise, it's coffee table worthy....

Today marks 12 years since I was baptized in Jesus name. This episode is simply the testimony of my conversion and my thoughts from today.

I once read that once you know what you want your legacy to be, you can start building it.  Not long ago, I read the story of a woman whose actions caused Jesus to say that what she did would make her remembered. That her actions would be spoken of throughout time as a memorial of her. I quickly decided that I wanted to mindfully take on some of her characteristics. I want to be remembered well. I want to pass something meaningful to my children. You can find her story in Matthew 26:6-13 and...

Today is just my thoughts on a simple principle. We move when God says to move; we stay when God says to stay. (sometimes, God doesn't say "stay". in these moments, we continue following the last word that God spoke to us.)  As people of God, we follow the cloud. Numbers 9:17-18 17 And whenever the cloud lifted from over the tent, after that the people of Israel set out, and in the place where the cloud settled down, there the people of Israel camped. 18 At the command of the Lord the...

This episode is basically a life update. I share what we are currently going through and what God is teaching me right now. Some lessons are harder to learn than others! lol. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 16 Rejoice evermore. 17 Pray without ceasing. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Recently we were in Oklahoma City for a MONTH of revival. I had the chance to sit down with this wonderful pastor's wife and talk with her about a story from her teenage years. I cannot say enough good things about her. She is passionate about the things of God and it comes through in everything she does. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into this powerful moment of her childhood.

I'm back! 1 Samuel 17:45  Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

A woman has great influence over her family and friends. The choice is ours as to whether we use the influence to bless or to curse those that will follow in our footsteps. Today we dig into the infamous story of Jacob and Esau who started a family feud that would carry to the next generation. When we dissect the story we realize that Jacob's mother, Rebekah, was actually the influence behind the deceptive act of Jacob.  Her whispered plan, done in secret, would affect generations.  As women...

in honor of Infertility Awareness Week, today is a quick study on the 5 women in the Old Testament that were named "barren". I hope you enjoy their stories and are inspired by their faith.

This week I get back into our "To Know Him" series. I hope you enjoy the story behind this name, Ishi. Ishi means "my husband". This is taken from chapter 2 in the book of Hosea. God details out to Israel what all is included in their restoration. The very same restoration is available to you and to me when we need it.  I hope you enjoy this beautiful outline of God's unconditional love for us.

More is said of me about how I walk through the "plains" of life, rather than my response to my mountains and valleys.  Today we discuss Samuel, serving God daily in the temple.  I hope you enjoy this short devotion.

Ep. 27

Come and listen as we talk all about ministry, true relationship with God and the refining process. Annabeth is a jewel and truly has so many little nuggets of wisdom to share. 

In Exodus 15 God reveals Himself to His people as “healer”. The Hebrews had a desperate need, and God came through just as He always does. This healing encompasses more than your typical thought of physical healing. This word heal is described like this: to mend, to heal, to make whole, to RESTORE. Come listen to the Exodus 15 story and how this attribute of God applies to you today. I’m so thankful to serve THE GOD WHO HEALS!

is “the Self-existent,” “He who becometh,” or “the becoming one.”

This episode we will cover two more Abraham/God encounters.  El Olam - The Everlasting God Jehovah Jireh - The Lord will see to it. (provider) We also talk about Isaac following in his father's footsteps in Beersheba, and a personal experience of mine concerning restoring some old wells. I referenced the "Praying the Names of God" book by Ann Spangler half way through the episode. 

El Shaddai. The Almighty God. The All-sufficient One.  Also the way that God chose to visit Abraham AND Jacob. Both encounters included a change of identity AND a lengthy promise. come listen and dig in! **I mentioned in the episode that I used: -the concordance on blueletterbible.org  -commentary from enduringword.com

Listen today to hear all about Genesis chapter 16. We will basically go from verse 1 to verse 16, breaking down the story of Hagar and "the God who sees". *I have recently read the Hagar section from the following books: - Women of the Bible by Ann Spangler & Jean E. Syswerda (This one is a daily devotional book. One week of devotion for each woman) -Women of the Bible by Sue Poorman Richards and Lawrence O. Richards (This one is an exhaustive list of every woman mentioned in the...

As we step into 2021, my heart's desire is to know God more this year.  I don't have a new year's resolution. I couldn't come up with a cool "word" for the year like many others, but what keeps ringing in my ears is "to know Him".  I invite you to join me as I study my way through the many ways God presents Himself to us from Genesis to Revelation.  Today's episode starts with Genesis 1:1. Resources used: blueletterbible.org . Logos.com (commentary).

This episode is about Mary, mother of Jesus. We will talk about how she was "willing" to follow from conception of Jesus, to the crucifixion, and even to the day of Pentecost. Come and listen and be encouraged by the life of Mary.

A few scriptures as promised: -The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord...

A very quick, very unscripted BONUS 🎉 episode about what I'm thankful for this year.  Psalm 136: 1 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. 3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. 4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. 5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. 6 To him that...

Join my friend, Morgan Hill, and I as we talk about journaling today. Morgan’s story is so relatable as she shares the benefits and the blessings in writing her thoughts and needs down daily. At age 17, she had a lot of decisions to make and found this method to be such an effective way to communicate with God. Come listen in to hear her perspective of looking back through these journals, the blessings she now sees in a big "NO" from God, and how perfectly God fulfilled her hearts...
