Drawing from 2 Kings 4:8-37, where Elisha restores the Shunammite woman’s son to life, Jordan encourages us to approach our Heavenly Father with faith-filled prayers, trusting in His power to bring life to the most desolate places.

The Faith Filled Petition 2 Kings 4:32-37 Jeremiah Morris
As we press on in a season of fasting and praying for spiritual awakening in our lives, our churches, and our city – let's revisit a story of how God metaphorically moved a mountain in response to a faith-filled request. The raising of the Shunammite woman's son is an illustration of the limits of earthly prosperity and power in contrast to the unbounded mercy and might of the Lord.

Are you struggling with anxiety or an overwhelming fear of gaining weight? Do you feel like this fear is holding you back from living out the full, joyful life God has planned for you? You are not alone. This fear is real, and many people face it. But let me reassure you—it's not how God wants you to live. He has so much more for you than to be bound by anxiety and fear. In today's episode, I'm sharing powerful truths about who God says you are, as well as practical steps to help you move from fear to faith. God is faithful, and He will equip you when you trust in Him. If you're ready to take the next step, I invite you to connect with me in our She Breaks Free Facebook group or reach out to me directly at taraj@dietditching.com. You don't have to walk this journey alone. Together, we can break free.
The power of the tongue is to produce seed. The seed produced by the power of the tongue are faith filled words. And it is faith that activates those words, so words of faith rhema words from your mouth, (the word rhema means the happening) that which is spoken by the living voice, that which is the voice of the Holy Spirit who prompts you and puts it on your heart what to say to begin with. So what you see then is that when that faith filled word comes out of your mouth, the happening is in the word that is spoken. That's why prophecy comes true.

We'll talk about what it looks like to seek God's wisdom, find clarity, and stop letting fear make our choices for us.

In this eye-opening message, Pastor Brian draws a compelling parallel between augmented reality technology and faith. Just as Pokémon GO revealed an unseen world through our phone cameras, faith offers a deeper perspective on reality. But can we trust this enhanced view?

Through historical evidence, practical reading methods, and real-life applications, Pastor Brian demonstrates how taking God at His word can transform daily life. This message, featuring an intriguing clip from Joe Rogan's podcast and practical tools like the H.E.A.R. Bible study method, offers a fresh perspective on faith for both newcomers and long-time believers. Whether you're skeptical about the Bible's reliability or seeking to deepen your faith journey, this first installment of the "Augmented Reality" series provides accessible insights into becoming a faith-filled follower of Jesus.

Have you ever really lived out your diet struggle through the lense that, as a Christian, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit?

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As parents, one of our most important roles is to be students of our children. We can't truly guide them unless we take the time to understand them deeply—who they are, how they think, and where they're headed. A powerful question to ask God is, “How do you see my children? How did you create them? What are you leading them toward?” These questions help us look beyond the surface and see our children the way God sees them. Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us that when we seek God, he reveals things we may not see on our own. When we ask God to show us our children, we gain the wisdom we need to guide them with clarity and love. Psalm 139:23-24 reminds us to invite God into our hearts, asking him to search us and lead us with wisdom. As we ask God to search our hearts, he gives us the insight to understand our children more fully and lead them well. Being students of our children means being open to learning from them and from God. It's a constant process of asking questions, seeking wisdom, and trusting God to show us how to guide them.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Parenting is more than a job—it's a calling. God has entrusted you with a flock, not to control or push, but to guide with love and purpose. 1 Peter 5:2-4 paints a beautiful picture of this calling, reminding us that leadership is about walking with those we're guiding, not barking at them from behind. A shepherd leads their flock from the front. However, a sheepdog—pushing from behind. One leads with peace; the other forces movement with pressure. I've found myself acting like a sheepdog more often than I'd like—rushing my children, pushing them to move forward, and using frustration to motivate. But that's not how God parents us. He walks among us, leading with grace, never domineering or demanding. And he calls us to lead our children the same way. The moment parenting becomes a shame-filled game, I've stepped out of the shepherd's role. Instead, I'm choosing to slow down, to lead with calmness and connection, and to trust that God's guidance is enough for both me and my kids.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As parents, it's easy to fall into the trap of setting rules with the expectation of perfect adherence. We may become harsh judges, demanding perfection from our children. However, this approach overlooks the reality that our children, like all of us, are imperfect. In 2 Corinthians 5:18-21, we're reminded that we are ambassadors for Jesus, called to lead others to him through reconciliation, not perfection. Rules aren't meant to create perfect children; they're a guide to help them grow closer to Jesus. When our children break the rules, it's an opportunity for reconciliation and teaching them about grace, forgiveness, and the heart behind the behavior. Instead of demanding perfection, let's remember that rules are a roadway to Jesus, not a measure of success. Through grace, we grow together—imperfectly, but always being reconciled.

You're Invited! to a Galentine's Day Virtual Gathering on Wed. Feb 12th from 7:15-8:30PM CST -------> Click here to RSVP
Welcome back to the kitchen table. Being a parent means showing up for your kids in ways they may never fully see or understand—and one of the most important ways we show up is through prayer. Ephesians 6:10-20 calls us to stand firm in faith and to pray with alertness. For our children, this means asking God to guide them, protect them, and work in their lives in ways only he can. Prayer isn't about saying the perfect words. It's about coming to God with a heart that's open and ready to ask for his help. When we pray for our kids, we're doing more than hoping things work out—we're inviting God into their lives, trusting his love and power to do what we can't. The truth is, no one will pray for your children like you will. Who else knows their dreams, fears, and quirks the way you do? The enemy would love for us to believe that our prayers don't matter. Don't buy into that lie. Our prayers are a gift we give our kids—a way to fight for them even when they're out of our hands.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Motherhood can often feel like you're stuck in the trenches—endless tasks, challenges, and moments of wondering if anything will ever change. But as a mother, you have the incredible opportunity to be a vision caster for your children, helping them see the bigger picture of God's plan. When we shift our perspective and understand that our role is to glorify God's name, everything changes. We are called to encourage our children to look beyond the everyday struggles and see the purpose God has for their lives. Ephesians 1:18-20 reminds us that God has a greater purpose for us. As mothers, we have the privilege of guiding our children to understand that they are uniquely made for something special. Jesus came to transform their hearts, and the Holy Spirit is always with them, empowering them to use their gifts to do mighty things.

She Breaks Free....Ditch the Diet & Change Your Relationship with Food & Fitness
Do you have a really hard time watching others reach their health and fitness goals, wishing you were able to do the same? Are you watching others eat whatever they want and seem to be just fine with the way they look and not struggle with dieting? Are you caught in a constant comparison trap and can't seem to find contentment where you are in life? There are 2 truths I want to look at today: The things we can control and the things that are out of our control. With God, those things that are out of our control can be lifted off our shoulders. Today, I am talking about what your role is in your own contentment and how it impacts your future purpose!

Welcome back to the kitchen table. You're not alone in feeling the challenges of motherhood. But, today Bethany reminds us of its sacred privilege, not a burden. It's easy to lose sight of this, especially when we feel overwhelmed by our roles as mothers and wives. But God doesn't just see us in those roles—he sees us as his chosen people first. By embracing our identity in Christ, we find the strength to glorify Him in every moment, even in the toughest days. God equips us to navigate our responsibilities, as he promises in Hebrews 13:5-6. And in Isaiah 40:11, we are reminded that he tenderly cares for us. Our identity as God's people comes first. Our roles as mothers and wives overflow from that deep connection with him. When we rely on his guidance, we can experience joy and peace, knowing we are walking the path he has designed for us.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. As moms, it's easy to tie our identity to the roles we play—especially motherhood. But when our worth is anchored solely in being a mom, it can lead to anxiety and uncertainty. Our identity, though, is meant to be anchored in who God says we are. God doesn't just call us moms—he calls us warriors. He's filled us with grace and strength. The enemy tries to steal our peace, but God has already equipped us to fight. 2 Corinthians 2:14 tells us that God always leads us in victory. When we remember our true identity, we can walk with confidence in his strength. As we embrace this, we can pour out God's love to our children, teaching them about the freedom and power that comes from knowing who they are in Christ.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. For Bethany, it often felt like her identities in faith and motherhood were pulling in opposite directions. She was trying to raise her kids well, deeply rooted in faith, but her role as a mom and her walk with Jesus felt like parallel tracks that never quite crossed. Her heart hadn't fully understood the freedom that God offers—the freedom to step out from under the weight of perfectionism and into the light of his grace. She realized that her role as a mom wasn't separate from her identity in Christ. It was an outworking of it. The gospel wasn't just something to teach her kids—it was the foundation for her own life as a mother. Ephesians 2:8-10 became a lifeline, a reminder that her worth wasn't in her works but in God's grace. She began to see motherhood as an expression of the hope, vision, and joy that only Jesus can give. For Bethany, the transformation came when she stopped trying to separate her faith from her motherhood and embraced them as one. And in that integration, she found freedom, hope, and joy—not just for herself, but for her children as well.

Welcome back to the kitchen table. Bethany is taking us back to the basics today, and it all starts with one simple but powerful truth: identity. Who does God want me to be? Who does He say I am? These aren't just questions to consider—they're the foundation of everything. Jesus gave us the answer in John 7:37-39. Knowing who we are in him changes everything. When we know our identity in Christ, we stop striving and start living. So let's pause, take a breath, and get back to the basics. It all begins here.

She Breaks Free....Ditch the Diet & Change Your Relationship with Food & Fitness
Do you often avoid delving into your emotions to uncover the true reasons behind what is happening? Or do you simply reach for your favorite snack to make those feelings disappear? Do you frequently use food to hide or drown your emotions instead of confronting and dealing with them? Often, it is much easier to mask our issues by eating to soothe ourselves and seek that "good feeling" from consuming something comforting. However, all we are doing is covering up the real issues and creating unhealthy food behaviors that we eventually become dependent on. Join me today, and find encouragement and the first step to begin your new! Do you need accountability, encouragement, or prayer, email me at taraj@dietditching.com.
Is your energy low today? How is your overall health? Chances are, after all the celebrating and temptations all around you, you may not be feeling so great. Your energy levels are low and you simply don't feel well in your overall health.
