Kingdom Chats with Jamie and Teph

" Behold I am about to do something new.  It is beginning to happen even now.  Don't you see it coming?  I am going to make a way for you to go through the desert.  I will make streams of water in the dry and empty land." Isaiah 43:19 It's a new year and often we focus our minds on all the things we want to accomplish, our new goals and resolutions but did you ever stop to think about all the ways that those new beginnings are attached to old endings? How good are you at ending things?  Let's have a Kingdom Chat about it! After listing Join the conversation over at Instagram www.instagram.com/xo_teph For more resources go to www.mindingmyfaith.com

“After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you” (1 Peter 5:10). At times it's hard to imagine that after what you're dealing with currently there will be anything greater.  At times we forget that what we are experiencing is temporary.  Sometimes we need a reminder to trust in the Lord, and after we suffer for a little while, there will be glory.  Lets talk about it!

1 King 18:44 The seventh time the servant reported , "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea."... It's coming.  It may seem small or maybe it seems non existent right now, but its coming. The season is changing but there are some things you will need as you prepare for your dry season to be over. Lets talk about it!  Follow on Instagram: www.instagram.com/xo_teph

“The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.” Judges 6:16 We put a bow on 2020 and shared our hopes for the gift of 2021. Whether it’s reconnecting with what was once lost or being about that action, we’re ready because we have God is with us! Remember, acknowledge what’s happening within and around you because it’s not going away until you handle it.  IG: @xo_teph       @jamiewshngtn       @kingdom.chats

“Though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand.” Psalms 37:24 NIV Ever catch yourself going in cycles over and over again?  Just when you think you've got it figured out, you find yourself feeling like you're going backwards?  Same sis, same! We all get to a point where we stop depending on Him as much as we know we should, and start relying on our natural responses and reflexes! And thaaaaat’s where we get in trouble! Let’s get back to depending on Him even when we’re in harvest season!  Slide into our inbox and let us know that brings you JOY!! @xo_teph  @jamie.wshngtn @kingdom.chats

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:7 NIV We know that life happens in stages. Accepting that peace comes in pieces, that’s a game changer! God gives us peace that we may never be able to understand, how we choose to maintain it is up to us. Are you at peace or are you extra petty and it’s mimicking momentary peace? Things that make you say hmmmm!

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:32‬ ‭NIV‬‬ If we don’t do anything else, we’re gonna have to forgive and be forgiven. Find out how forgiving we are, what plays a role in our forgiveness process, and what has kept us from forgiving. Send us a DM (@kingdom.chats) and let us know if forgiveness is an issue for you; what’s your process — forgive quick, forgive slow, or no forgiveness needed because you’re too “unbothered”?

“The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?” Exodus 4:11 NIV Have you ever considered yourself, your gift, your talent, to not be enough? If so, that makes at least 3 of us that need to hear this convo — discussing their difference between complacency and contentment, comparison, and how judging ourselves also means we’re judging God’s work.  IG: www.instagram.com/kingdom.chats        www.instagram.com/xo_teph       www.instagram.com/jamiewshngtn   QTNA: are best friends required when living in purpose? 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 NIV We’ve all had to wait for God’s promises to manifest. Though our waiting experiences may differ, His promises are kept. We talk about how to wait and our personal experiences while waiting.  Shop at REV12SIX.com to cop our shirts!  Follow on Instagram:  @Kingdom.Chats @xo_teph @jamiewshngtn

“...We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them” Numbers 13:33 NIV⁣ You are what you eat; a healthy mind develops from healthy thoughts. What a fitting season finale: taking a break to become aware of and depart from thought patterns that no longer serve us, but get acquainted with and find comfort in thinking higher thoughts. Until we meet again, ask God how He sees you, align your thoughts with His, and feel free to break up with negative thoughts!⁣ IG: @xo_Teph @JamieWshngtn

“But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NIV Adjusting to brokenness is about unlearning to ignore pain and choosing to not allow what tried to break you, actually break you. Choosing to address deep wounds instead of putting a small bandaid over them.  QTNA: How do you adjust to healing after feeling broken?

“You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:5 NIV⁣ ⁣Blaming someone else for they pain they caused us, that’s normal. But can we normalize taking ownership of CHOOSING to stay in brokenness and forgive ourselves for the part we play in our traumatic experiences? One get one shot at this life and no one say we had to stay in our wilderness for 40 years....

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.” Psalms 37:23 NKJV⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Life’s detours will try your faith. Trusting that all steps are necessary, including the ones we’d rather not take, it’s makes taking the steps more bearable. Are you arriving early to your destination, or is God still preparing a place for you? Perspective! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Got a question you’d like answered: email kingdomchatspodcast@gmail.com, or DM us on IG @xo_Teph or @jamiewshngtn⁣ Jamie’s shirt: @frankgenoese

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27 NIV   In the pursuit of happiness, it’s ok to redefine what happiness is to us as we balance life’s obstacle course.  Along the way, we learn who we are, how we’ve “perfected” masking ourselves, and how much we trust our understanding versus God’s understanding.  QTNA: what are the pros and cons of 2020, and what’s your goal to finish out 2020? 

So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?””Hebrews 13:6 NIV⁣ We forget that baby steps forward are still progress, and tend to equate big leaps of faith as the only way to respond to God’s call; baby faith and crazy faith are still F A I T H and require trust! Speaking of trust, clearly we trust y’all because this episode is a full blown therapy session! ⁣ QTNA: What are you unlearning? 

“(Love) always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:7 NIV Who or what shaped your definition of love? Has that definition evolved as you’ve grown? Going back to defining moments and dissecting how they’ve shaped our hearts is necessary as we grow in self love and the love we give others. QTNA: How do you reinvent what your relationship looks like after years of being together and growing into being two different people than you were when you first met?

“...Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” Psalms 30:5 NIV⁣ ⁣Whether it’s uprooting trauma, being vulnerable within relationships, or walking in our purpose, if struggle is present, then embrace it and share it. We learn from those that have endured. Are you willing to be someone’s blueprint? ⁣ ⁣QTNA: How do you stay faithful when producing under appreciated content?

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven — Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV) Realizing that God’s time and man’s time are not the same. To Him, time doesn't exist, to us, if allowed, it‘a everything. How soon we “arrive” and the journey it takes us to get to the destination, distract us from the overall mission — our willingness to trust God’s faithfulness! It all has a purpose — when, how, and where we arrive; trust and enjoy all ordered steps because you have to take them anyway! QTNA: how long is too long to wait on purpose to manifest? 

“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” ‭‭(1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:27‬) ‭ We’ve had issues with finding our identity. Whether it’s in the Kingdom or in the world, learning our role is important and knowing that it may change is just as important. We’re all necessary in order to make this thing work to its fullest potential. QTNA: what if my day 1’s and Kingdom friends aren’t the same group? Do I end one set of friendships for the other?

Welcome to Kingdom Chats, a space where we get to be vulnerable, transparent, and stretch our minds during authentic, everyday conversations about the Kingdom and how we apply God’s word to our lives.
