The Becoming His Vessel Podcast is a truly impactful podcast that has been instrumental in helping me stay focused during these challenging times. Jo, the host of the podcast, challenges listeners with the truth and application of that truth in our lives. Through her teachings, I am reminded that while God may not promise us fairness, He does promise to be with us every step of the way. Jo's unwavering trust in the Word of God as absolute truth provides a much-needed direction for life.
One of the best aspects of The Becoming His Vessel Podcast is Jo's ability to convey biblical truths in a relatable and practical manner. She shares valuable insights and wisdom that can be applied to our everyday lives, allowing us to become vessels for God's purpose. The podcast serves as a guide for understanding our purpose in Christ and how we can glorify His name by loving Him and loving others. It is always refreshing to listen to Jo each week as she teaches us about our Lord and Savior, providing exactly what we need to hear at any given moment.
While it is difficult to find any significant flaws in this podcast, one aspect that could be improved upon is the frequency of episodes. As a dedicated listener, I eagerly anticipate each new episode and sometimes wish there were more frequent releases. However, this minor drawback does not overshadow the profound impact this podcast has on my spiritual growth.
In conclusion, The Becoming His Vessel Podcast is an incredible resource for those seeking spiritual guidance and illumination. Jo's dedication to sharing God's Word and applying it to our daily lives is evident in every episode. Through her teachings, listeners are empowered to become vessels for God's purpose and fulfill their calling in Christ. I am profoundly grateful for Jo and His Vessel Ministries for providing such invaluable content that continually inspires me on my journey of faith.
Send us a textWhen we have a prayer request, are we quick to tell a friend? Is our next phone call or text to a prayer partner? Have we stopped to first take it to the Lord and let Him take the lead in helping us, helping meet that need?

Send us a textThe age-old question "What is my purpose?" does actually have an answer. Are you surprised? One reason it's been so difficult to find is because we're looking in the wrong place. As we have journeyed together, we have learned that it takes surrender and humility to live for God. These certainly aren't qualities that the culture magnifies. (This narrows down our search, for sure.) It means we won't be seeking and finding our purpose in the culture or ourselves. So, let's keep searching and pursuing God together.

Send us a textIn Matthew 13:45, we learn of a merchant who found one pearl of great price. He went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Send us a textWe've been on this journey of surrender -- learning to live humbly and crucifying our flesh so that Christ lives in us. But, today, let's refresh our "why." Why are going through this process, even though it's step by step? This is blessing God. Don't we desire to bless our Father, our King, our Savior, and our Lord?
