This is a podcast about remembering God, and His redemption, in our everyday lives. It is a space is for anyone who struggles to connect with God, apply their faith to real life, and for those of us who need encouragement about who God is, and who He has made us to be. Join me every week for a few minutes of an encouraging word, thoughtful questions for reflection, and a tangible takeaway, that will spur you on in your relationship with God—and to remember His redemption. Because remembrance changes everything.
This first Louisville story was written in late June when my husband and I were sitting in Southern Seminary's library doing some writing on our exploratory trip to sign a lease on our new home just five minutes from seminary. I share this now, because it was a special, God-sweetened day. And part of remembrance is looking back to gain joy and hope to keep following hard after God. No matter how crazy the transition season may be. Hope you enjoy!
Why it's crucial to stop, reflect, and receive the greatest news ever thru the pages of Scripture as we look toward Sunday's Resurrection celebration.
What does a blind beggar man have to do with the desires of our hearts, our needs - and God's sufficiency? Come find out as we look at the story of Bartimaeus in Luke, share some stories & reflect on why it's important to ask for what we want.
A story in which God's kindness was on display on a weekend away in how He spoke. Repetition bears remembrance, thanks be to God.
Seasons of the calendar, life - and how to be ready to stand no matter what storm may come.
Confession, a prayer rhythm that paves the way to receiving God afresh - and experiencing renewal. Also known as: what God's been working on me through Lent thus far. Listen in!
Driving through bad weather, God's sufficiency, and the importance of feeling our fears and confessing them into the light, in order to press into the truest peace that is God with us.
The greatest romancer of all is God, friends. The one who loves you more than any parent, child, or spouse, ever could. The one whose love is perfect, unfettered by sin like our earthly relationships are. The one who saw your deepest sin—the ones you'd like to forget about, the ones you aren't even aware of—and loved you the same. He is the one to have loved you enough not to let you stay in that sin, but made a way, if we are but to receive. Listen in.
Fasting is a physical act of remembrance. Lent begins next week - 40 days of some sort of a fast, traditionally in the Church. I'm sharing my experience, encouragement, and some verbal tripping through this incredibly important spiritual discipline because God is worthy of our all. And the Holy Spirit will sift through any and every word or verbal mis-step I make in this longer episode to convict, encourage, and spur you on to prayerfully consider fasting. In Jesus name amen, let this be.
“…Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?” Job 2:10
Rooted in John 1:12 & 16, we dive into receiving grace upon grace from the Lord of Words - and how this can transform our most muddled days into moments of remembrance, and redemption.
Let every heart prepare Him room, sings Joy to the World. Preparing God room is a process not unlike how many of us recently cleared space in our homes post-Christmas. Except, preparing our God room takes far more intentionality and grace than a few days of cleaning and putting boxes away in the attic, does. Listen in.
It's a hard lesson to learn, receiving is required. I'm not good at receiving, awkward at best, a struggle in a lot of my relationships - including the most important one. Today I'll be diving into why it's so crucial for us to receive Him, and how He has been so graciously teaching me the practice of receiving alongside remembrance.
Fearless, Joy, Peace, and Receive. All of these have been my One Words for the last few years, and Receive is where I'm landing this year--but they all tie in together, because God is a God of words, and withness. Listen today for some brief life stories, and a space for reflection for YOU to get with God and discern what One Word He wants to give you for 2021.
Your reminder to remember: what new thing God is doing, and how it can reframe and refresh our souls as we step into 2021, and look back on 2020. Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18b-19 ESV
Remembrance as an antidote for anxiety. Listen in for the story behind the podcast - and why practicing the biblical rhythm of remembrance is transformational to our everyday lives.
