Brody Holloway | RespondIn this session, Brody reminds us that hearing God's Word at a conference can feel exciting—but the same truth is available to us every day. Looking at the story of the woman at the well in John 4, we see how Jesus meets us in our brokenness and tears down the barriers that separate us from Him.Jesus understands our struggles—He was tired and worn out too. Yet He pressed on, showing that even in weakness, God works. Jesus breaks through walls of division: race, gender, shame, and sin. Nothing is too dirty or too broken for Him to make clean and whole.What are the barriers in your life that keep you from deep intimacy with Christ? Whether it's sin, wounds inflicted by others, or the lies we believe about our worth, Jesus has come to tear those walls down.Respond Women's ConferenceJohn 4Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith.

First, the Parable of the Ten Virgins reminds us that Jesus is coming back when we least expect it. We can't borrow someone else's faith — we need to be personally prepared. The Parable of the Talents shows us that God has given us gifts to use for His Kingdom, and we're called to faithfully invest them while we wait for Him to return.We need to be ready, stay faithful to what we have been given, and work while we wait. God has entrusted us with His Word and empowered us to obey.

Brody Holloway | Fall Retreat 2024During this Fall Retreat session, Brody examines the parables Jesus told in Luke 7, focusing on two people who were forgiven debts. God's forgiveness is a free gift, something we can't earn, and this parable illustrates how Jesus forgives our sins, no matter how big or small.Brody also discusses the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears, showing deep love and humility, in contrast to the Pharisee who judged her. Her actions remind us that when we truly understand how much we've been forgiven, we should love Jesus deeply. The Pharisee, on the other hand, couldn't see his own need for forgiveness, which kept him from receiving Jesus' grace.This episode reminds us that Jesus offers forgiveness to everyone, no matter our past. His forgiveness changes the way we love Him and others.Luke 7Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help others grow in their faith. Click here to get our Colossians Bible study.
