    Ivy Insights

    The Jacob Sheriff Podcast is a refreshing avenue of truth and relatability that I am incredibly thankful for. As a member of Victory Life Church, it is so nice to feel like I am in on a typical conversation with the people that I know and trust. The thought-provoking questions from Josh and the well-thought-out dialogue from Pastors Jacob and Hannah help me maintain a healthy frame of mind for life's issues and give me a greater sense of relatability. This podcast truly brightens my day as I go about my busy life as a housewife and mom. Whether I am cooking dinner or doing laundry, I love hearing the life stories from this crew. The way they overcome obstacles and challenge themselves to step out of their comfort zones is so encouraging and inspiring. Each episode leaves me looking forward to the next one and eager to continue growing in my faith.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the realness and authenticity that shines through in every episode. Jacob, Josh, and Tyler provide three different perspectives and experiences that are invaluable for growth as both a Christian and a person. Their willingness to share their own struggles, victories, and journeys makes them relatable mentors who inspire listeners to strive for growth in their own lives.

    However, there are no notable worst aspects of this podcast as it consistently delivers powerful insights and valuable content. Every episode offers something new to learn from, whether it's practical advice on disciplines or deeper reflections on faith.

    In conclusion, The Jacob Sheriff Podcast has been a life-changer for many listeners, including myself. It provides tools for believers to fight the good fight of faith while also offering relatable stories, thought-provoking discussions, and valuable insights into various aspects of life. Jacob's heart for discipleship shines through every episode, making it an essential listen for anyone seeking biblical sound teachings, genuine conversations, and practical guidance on living intentionally with Christ at the center.

    “Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life in our day. You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life… There is nothing else.” (Dallas Willard)Do you feel like you're always in a hurry? Like you're constantly running from one thing to the next, never having a moment to slow down and enjoy life? If so, you're not alone. In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the busy-ness of everyday life. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this episode of the Jacob Sheriff Podcast, we'll share some tips on how to “Ruthlessly” eliminate hurry from your life and start living a more fulfilled and healthy life.Here are a few things you can do to eliminate hurry from your life:We must begin to see Hurry as an enemy of our soul, just like Lust, Greed, or Pride. Hurry is an absolute enemy to our spiritual lives.Slow down. Develop habits that help you to quiet your mind and cultivate awareness of God's Presence. Try setting aside time for silence and stillness.Set boundaries. It's important to set boundaries with your time and energy. Don't be afraid to say no to things that you don't have time for or that don't serve you.Sabbath. This is one of the Ten Commandments for a reason! God knows that we need this in our lives and it is His gift to humanity, we can't continue to ignore it expecting everything to be fine!Eliminating hurry from your life won't happen overnight, but it is possible. We hope this conversation helps you get a vision of how you can start to slow down, relax, and enjoy life more.Episode LinksVideo with Pastor Zach and Jesse Andersen on Sabbath: https://youtu.be/2kZ2DAsv2lMBook Recommendation: Emotionally Healthy Leader https://a.co/d/i7Xu00qBook Recommendation: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry https://a.co/d/11PUWt4Donate to the Podcast: bit.ly/41Sgk9fThe Rescue Mission PodcastThis podcast discuses real topics that affect real people.

Do we recognize the deep meaning that can be found in the middle of hardship or do we do all we can to avoid or ignore it?  We talk about times when we've been overwhelmed and have been tempted to just give up, but endurance is all about trusting God in the middle of hardship and trusting in His faithfulness in spite of everything else that may be going on.

    Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. Proverbs 4:23 If you squeeze a lime, lime juice will come out. If you squeeze an orange, orange juice will come out. What comes out of us when we are under pressure– figuratively? Everything we do stems from what or who rules our heart. What is ruling our hearts? Is there something ruling your heart when Jesus is supposed to be sitting on the throne of your heart? It can happen very easily. It may not be easy to place Jesus as ruler of your heart, but it is simple. He has given us all the tools we need to stay connected and in deep relationship with Him.

    We don't know everything about parenting, we are still in the middle of it. Our oldest is knocking on the door of being a teenager, the next one is not far behind, and our youngest is being potty-trained. Our culture today has tried to remove the importance and weight of parenting. We are responsible for our own children and we are all responsible for the next generation. There is a wide-spread illness of absent fathers, and it doesn't take the father being outside the home for him to be absent. God is always with us and He is always present. Parenting is not easy, but it's necessary and a great calling.

    The word stronghold has a negative air around it, but it doesn't have to be heard as a negative word all the time. We need to build good strongholds, specifically of the Holy Spirit. We think that if we try harder to do better, but we don't work on the strongholds in our hearts, it will become striving instead of an action from grace.Hannah and I want the strongholds of the Holy Spirit to be built in our hearts, and give no good foundation to the strongholds of the devil. We want people drawn closer to Jesus.

    It's exciting when you discover that you're listening to the same Holy Spirit. Zach and I were hearing very similar things relating to the spiritual fight so we are bringing it to the podcast! When we say “spiritual”, we aren't talking fantasy, the spiritual fight is real and directly affects our lives and relationships. Zach talks a lot about the discernment of what spirit we are being influenced by. He even talks about how demons in the United States are educated and have manners. The enemy evolves into whatever he needs to be to confuse people. We need to be aware of this stuff, but not afraid.This podcast is a long one but it's a really good one.

    Sometimes we do more to impress God or we do less because we don't think we can do it. God doesn't look at our abilities to work through us, He looks at our obedient and surrendered hearts. If you have dealt with abuse in the past, the word “obedience” can feel like a controlling and dominating word. When we talk about it, we are talking about trusting God and allowing that trust to do His will on this earth. Humans are just really terrible about trusting and obeying. We try to do things our own way and negotiate with God, then we have to go back to Him and do it the way He needed us to do it. He is merciful as we continue to learn to trust Him, but the death and resurrection of Jesus empowered us to trust and obey in a better way– and right away.

    What we want will shape what we do. Sometimes what we do is sin. Did you know that you sin because you want to? Before you get upset with me, that's what James said. Whether or not we know what those desires are that will lead to sin, it is still a desire. We have to ask ourselves what we really want and why we want it. When we are rude to people, it's easy to make excuses about that behavior. Looking at why we behave a certain way as an excuse will cause us to excuse ourselves from growing. Looking at why we behave a certain way as an explanation, such as a trauma, is recognizing the “why” behind our behavior. When we look at the “why” behind our behavior as an explanation, we are looking at it as an opportunity for growth after a mistake.In this episode, we talk about learning to recognize what we REALLY want, how to build character regardless of our own wants, and allow Jesus to transform our desires.

    Truth vs Lie is a constant spiritual battle, but it's not a battle against flesh and blood. People are not your enemies. When we see things that are trying to purposefully normalize ungodly things in our kids, there certainly is an initial reaction of anger. However, do we trust Truth enough to know that His Word stands true and not repay evil for evil? We also do not need to over-shelter our kids that they aren't prepared to walk in this world with a practice of discernment. It is very easy to be manipulated into participating in public arguments and thinking that anything good is being done–that is a lie. To bring truth into those situations is to recognise that those platforms profit off of the arguments and sensational content of anyone, then love people more than you like being correct or winning the argument.

    Being blessed and being a blessing is not about the #blessedlife trend. It's not about showing how great your life is on social media. I want to think biblically about what blessing means. Hannah talks about the new way she thinks about being a blessing. Seeing beyond people's attitudes, their words, their mistakes– instead seeing them the way God sees them. We speak goodness into people, openly recognize the goodness, and sow goodness into them.With all this, we start with our families. Blessing our children is of great importance and when we do this, we take a more proactive role in our children's lives instead of being reactive to things that need to be corrected.

    There are a lot of different ways we experience the world. Some of us experience more emotions and some like to use their mind to process what they are experiencing. You have heard me say it before in my sermons that I am more of a thinker and my wife is more of a feeler. No matter how much I say this, that doesn't mean we are locked into these labels, these are just the majority of how we each process. In 2 Timothy, the word says God has given us a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. Whether you are a thinker or a feeler, you are first a Child of God with a freely given sound mind which is a balanced mind that is focused on God.

    In this episode, we share our experiences of practicing the presence of the Lord as parents. As we do this as parents, we bring it to the church, too. Hannah knew there needed to be more connection with God for the church, as always, but it's easy to drift into a place of being unaware of God's presence. And guess what? Practicing being in God's presence, especially with kids, does not look the way you might see in your mind. You might find that there are a lot of giggles when you try to have worship time with 5 young kids.

    You may hear a new yet familiar voice in this podcast and she is here for this season! (Maybe more!)  Let's welcome Hannah to the ongoing conversation! Tyler has had a few exciting changes in his family's life so he is refocusing on some cool things for his family.As a lot of you know, I went on Sabbatical last year. Hannah and I were able to truly just spend time with the Lord as leaders without daily responsibilities over staff. During this time, we learned a lot about time. I realized quickly that I had a poverty mentality around time and Hannah realized quickly how much time I would be spending at home. In this episode, we unpack some deep things we learned on sabbatical and how to lead our home and the church moving forward.

    This episode we talk about our focus during the holiday season. We are about to begin the Advent season and there is so much that is trying to compete for our attention, but without intentional focus we allow our attention to drift where advertisers want instead of where the Word wants. It's funny that Josh asked us at the beginning about expectations and disappointments because Advent is a season of expectancy, but Jesus never disappoints. And poor Tyler talks about his sweet prayer as a child wanting to stay just ONE MORE DAY at Disney World. Well, he got to stay one more day...

    Before people get too committed to arguing on social media about the holidays, specifically Halloween in this episode, let's look at the history. Typically, a lot of people look at holidays culturally, but not historically---usually absent of a Biblical view. There is no decision or activity that has NO effect on our souls, whether we feel it or not. This is not a place to get on any particular high-horse, but my goal here is to get us thinking about our effectiveness. We can be right but be wrong at the same time. Something we cannot do is pick a soapbox and not apply it across the board. Tyler really wants to have a Hallelujah Night, Josh talks about pretending they weren't home as a kid, and I get a little passionate about Jesus's authority. Next episode, we will talk about Advent, so stay tuned.
