The Vibrant Life with Ali Gentry

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you ever asked yourself, "How in the WORLD did I get HERE?" Many times, it's not just one big thing that happened that got us there, but a series of little things that led us to that moment. Whether a good experience or a bad situation, the little strides taken every day can lead us to growth in Christ or away from the vibrant life He has available to us. On this week's episode, Ali talks about the little things that kinder us and how to keep those from stealing our joy, peace and hope in life and relationship with Jesus.

Libby Frees, a recording artist and Worship Leader at Life.Church in Colorado Springs, CO, talks to Ali about the benefit of implementing spiritual practices into our lives. Our world has tried to convince us that discipline and legalism are the same things when it comes to Christianity.

Legalism tends to lead to bondage, while discipline leads to freedom and growth - in ourselves and our walk with Christ.

This week on the show, Lain Ehmann is here to be our joy coach. Joy is a fruit of the Spirit — it’s not a result of perfect circumstances, which means it’s available to us even IN SPITE of our circumstances. Lain talks to us about how focusing on or putting our hope in the transitory things in life will only leave us wanting, but hope in Jesus is eternal and unwavering. If we want joy that lasts, we have to be counter-cultural in where we find it - we have to learn to be JOY REBELS!

How can we have a unified Church? Maybe the absence of disagreement is not the answer, but rather learning how to love one another through our disagreements.

Napping is Ali's superpower. She can nap anytime, anywhere! But here's the thing, we all need REST, not just naps along the way. This season has been exhausting for most of us and as we navigate moving into our next "normal", what if rest became an essential in our every day lives? Because rest is critical to run the race marked out for us. So how about we make the Italians and Make Siestas Great (Again?)! And if you're looking for permission to rest, this episode hopefully is that for you - because God Himself gives us permission.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miley shares how it all comes down to the question : "If not you, then who?" Is there something that God is stirring in your heart that you've been saying 'no' to? Miley's story will hopefully give you the courage and make you brave enough to say 'yes' to the adventure that God has for you!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our host, Ali Gentry, poses the question: "Do you believe in miracles?" from the famous Miracle on Ice commentary of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team victory. Many times we can feel like the underdog and that we "are not enough" to live fully into the life God has in store. By diving into the story of the feeding of the 5,000 (five loaves and two fish) found in Matthew 14, Ali reminds us that little is much when God is in it. The question is : "Do you believe in miracles?" Also found in Mark 6, Luke 9 & John 6.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Obed Escobar, the founder of Titus Foundation and Director of Community Engagement at Christian Family Care, talks about bridging the gap between knowing theology inside the church walls and actually walking out the gospel in our communities. Growing up in Guatemala, Obed had seen the power of the gospel transform his local community in inspiring ways. Since moving to the United States, his hope is that if the American church would come back to the gospel, we will see transformation in this generation as well as power to equip the next.
