We’ve covered a lot of ground this season, talking about our giftings and our callings and the wild ways that the Holy Spirit can pour Himself out when we have the gall to believe Him for them. But I can’t let you go without talking about just a couple more quick things. I want to wrap it all up with you with one last story, one last look at gall, in what might be an unexpected place - with  mud and spiders. Become a Podcast Insider!

In the finale of this podcast’s inaugural season, I return to the story of God vibrating the building and speak candidly about what I thought that meant (and what God was really up to). I also share my ill-fated efforts at growing a backyard garden and what I did when every bud in my trying-to-blossom ministry was suddenly pinched off before they could ever begin to bloom. I spill the secret of the fig fruit and what it means for you and your gall, and I wrap it all up with a look at what...

1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 8:9, and Ephesians 1:13-14 all convey one wildly important truth: that every believer receives the Holy Spirit upon salvation. There is also a separate baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit, which is another entire podcast season in its own right, but we’ll scratch the surface of it a little bit together in this episode. As we do, I’ll paint a more cohesive picture of what is actually required when you Gather Gall because this kind of Holy Spirit filling yields an...

It’s easy to take for granted this idea of a calling and the deep-seated passion that God has dropped into our hearts for it as something that is irrevocable. And, to a certain extent, that’s true. But, as will anything, there is a large amount of responsibility on our end regarding how we respond to that: What we do with it, how we allow it to shape us, and how we press into God with it all along the way. In this episode, we look at all of that.   I lay out the three ways that you can lose...

In the last episode, we discussed the separate entities of your spiritual gifts, natural gifts, and calling. This week, I'll take you on a deep-dive into Deborah's story and show you exactly what happens when all three of those things collide. You'll see how she plays a key role in the promised part of that Promise Land. (And, did you know: the Promised Land flowing with milk and honey isn't just a metaphor?) Grab your coffee, your Bible, and settle in. It's time to gather gall. Become a...

Have you ever found yourself wondering what in the world the difference is between a gifting and a calling? I sure have! In today’s episode, I break down what sets spiritual giftings apart from natural ones, and how your calling is entirely different from both of them. I reveal why I believe you don’t just have one calling on your life, I share the three things that I know to be true about callings. And I also talk about the hot topic of what women can and cannot do when it comes to specific...

In the first official Season One episode of the Dig Your Well Podcast, listeners are introduced to Christian author, speaker, and Bible teacher, Jane Johnson. Throughout the episode, Jane shares her personal story of overcoming bookended griefs of infertility and loss, and how her determination to study God’s Word for herself helped her to cling to God with white-knuckle faith knowing that, through it all, He was intentionally writing her story, for His glory. Resources mentioned in this...

In this brief, introductory episode I confess the one trick Satan successfully used for years to divert me from using my speaking voice and why I’m finally starting a podcast now. We also take a look at the Greek word peirasmos (and I reveal why a trial isn’t exactly what you might have always thought it to be).  Season 1 of the Dig Your Well Podcast launches March 20th!   Become a Podcast Insider!
