What are you known for—your job, your strengths, your quirks? In this episode, we dig into a different kind of reputation, the kind Acts 4:13 highlights when leaders recognized Peter and John had been with Jesus. Their courage didn't come from status or training; it flowed from their relationship with Him. As we walk through Acts 3–4, we follow the moment a lame man stood, a crowd gathered, and two ordinary fishermen stood firm before the Sanhedrin with Spirit-given clarity.We share a simple, life-giving rhythm that anchors everything we do at Family Disciple Me: Seek Him Speak Him. Seek Him means opening Scripture, asking honest questions, and lingering with God until His Word meets your life. Speak Him means letting that fresh encounter overflow into conversations with the people God has entrusted to you—kids, friends, roommates, neighbors. No scripts. No pressure. Just the natural spillover of time with Jesus. Along the way, we connect this rhythm with Philippians 1:20, naming a vision for unashamed boldness that holds steady under pressure and shines in ordinary moments.If you've ever felt too common, too busy, or too underqualified to make a spiritual impact, this conversation reframes the story. God uses ordinary people. Presence becomes courage. Devotion becomes discipleship. By the end, you'll have practical next steps for opening the Bible, listening for God's voice, and carrying that truth into simple, meaningful conversations that shape homes, friendships, and communities.Ready to be known for time with Jesus—and to make Him known? Listen now, share this with someone who needs courage today, and subscribe for more devotion-driven discipleship.

A tiny voice in the back seat of a car asks for prayer, and a lifelong journey with Jesus begins. Host Tosha Williams opens with a vivid childhood memory to show how clearly a child can grasp the gospel—and how a simple tool, "The Five Finger Gospel," can help anyone understand and respond to Jesus. Each finger holds a truth you can carry anywhere: Jesus sees you, Jesus loves you, Jesus died for you, Jesus knows you, and Jesus chose you. It's tactile, memorable, and grounded in Scripture, making it ideal for parents, mentors, and ministry leaders who want to share the good news with clarity and warmth.In this final episode in this collection of conversations, we revisit the tender honesty of small sins and big grace, then turn to the thumb as a picture of salvation: God's thumbs up to us and our thumbs up back to Him. With Jeremiah 1:5 and John 1:12 as anchors, we make the invitation plain without pressure—He has already said yes to you; will you say yes to Him? You'll hear how a preschool decision matured into decades of discipleship and how the same truths can spark conversations at the dinner table, in the car, or at a hospital bedside. Along the way, we highlight the shift from Seek Him to Speak Him, echoing Titus 1:1: helping God's chosen people believe in Christ more and more.If you're guiding a child, mentoring a teen, or reexamining your own faith, this conversation gives you language, confidence, and next steps. Try the hand motions, ask the heart-questions, and encourage simple, sincere prayer in a person's own words. Then take the next faithful step into devotion-driven discipleship, where meeting with God overflows into making Him known.

What if the most freeing words for your family are hiding in plain sight? We open Psalm 139:13–16 and let its language about being fearfully and wonderfully made cut through the noise that says you must measure up, fit in, or become someone else. From the knitting metaphor that reveals God's patient craftsmanship to the promise that our days are written with care, we explore how biblical identity reshapes the way we parent, perform, and perceive our worth.Together Tosha and Wendy name the “not enough” lie and trade it for truth you can hand to your kids. We talk candidly about sibling comparison on the field, body image, and the constant scoreboard of modern life. You'll hear practical ways to affirm a child's unique strengths without turning affirmation into flattery, and how to point each gift back to the Designer. We also widen the lens: if God saw us when we were unformed, then every life holds inherent value from the very beginning, a conviction that changes how we speak and how we act.We share a simple listening practice: ask God, “What do You see in me?” then make space for an answer that aligns with Scripture. Write it down. Model it for your kids. Pair it with Ephesians 2:10 to connect design with purpose—God's handiwork ready for good works prepared in advance. By the end, you'll have language to replace comparison with gratitude, stories to spark conversations at home, and steps to help your family live from identity rather than chasing it.If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a quick review to help more families find these conversations.

Loneliness sneaks into playgrounds, quiet offices, and crowded airplanes—and it doesn't spare parents or kids. Hosts Wendy Hickox and Tosha Williams open Psalm 139:7–12 and let it speak plainly: there is no corner of life beyond God's presence. From a tiny “cloffice” (read: office in a closet) to a frightening flight with failing hydraulics, we share how peace arrived not because the circumstances were easy, but because God was near and held us fast.We also get practical about parenting. Instead of promising what we can't guarantee (i.e. "I'll always be with you") we offer what is always true: even when we can't be there, God is. You'll hear how years of simple discipleship prepared a young adult traveling abroad to face deep loneliness with courage, and how short scripts and rituals can help children remember God's nearness at bedtime, in classrooms, and during anxious moments. We unpack why “darkness is as light” to God, and how that truth reframes fear, isolation, and the pressure to hold everything together.Our rhythm is simple: Seek Him Speak Him. We model how to read Psalm 139 with kids, ask reflective questions, and build a weekly practice anchored in Joshua 1:9:  be strong and courageous because the Lord goes with you. Then we widen the circle, inviting families to notice those sitting alone, to reach out with kindness, and to become steady voices of hope. If loneliness is an epidemic, presence is a remedy that spreads one conversation at a time.Subscribe to this podcast for more faith-forward conversations, share this episode with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a review to help others find these stories of courage and comfort.You can find the devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this conversation at the Family Disciple Me app. Use it to encourage and equip you to begin a meaningful, biblical conversation with someone in your life today!______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Ever watched a child wear a bright smile that doesn't match what's going on inside? We've been there too. This conversation centers on Psalm 139:1–6 and the freeing truth that "I Am Completely Known."Yes, God knows us completely—our thoughts, habits, words, and worries—yet delights in us. We share the comfort and awe that comes with being fully seen, then move from inspiration to practice with simple ways to make identity talk a daily rhythm.Hosts Tosha Williams and Wendy Hickox open the Scripture and let it speak: You have searched me, Lord, and You know me. From there, we unpack how this shifts the way kids handle loneliness, rejection, and performance pressure. Tosha tells a vulnerable story about her daughter feeling unknown and how Scripture reframed that moment without dismissing the pain. Wendy reflects as a teacher and parent, noting how often students mask struggle. Together, we map out a calm, repeatable habit—short blessings at bedtime, a verse in the car line, a check-in question at dinner—that anchors kids in a steady identity: completely known, deeply loved, and safely guided.You'll hear practical prompts you can use today, whether your kids are little, in middle school, or grown and navigating adult storms. The episode closes with a spoken blessing rooted in Scripture, offering peace for anyone feeling stretched thin or unseen. If you're ready to replace anxious scripts with a stronger one—God knows me and delights in me—this is your next listen.If this encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs that reminder, subscribe for the rest of the Psalm 139 series, and leave a review telling us where you'll start the conversation today.You can find the devotion-driven discipleship guide in the Family Disciple Me app!

Start here if you want a clear, practical way to ground your kids' identity in something stronger than trends and peer pressure. We're kicking off this series in Psalm 139 with a simple poem your family can memorize and a Scriptural prayer that helps kids name their anxious thoughts and invite God to lead them. Along the way, we talk about why identity language matters, how to make Scripture portable in everyday life, and what it looks like to stand on truth in a hard social moment.Four lines frame this journey: I am completely known / I am never alone I am wonderfully designed / I am on God's mindThis simple poem maps to the big themes of Psalm 139. As hosts Wendy Hickox and Tosha Williams share, you'll hear how carpool and bedtime became discipleship touch points in their families. You'll also be encouraged to turn Psalm 139:23–24 into a prayer: search me, know me, test me, see me, lead me. You can give YOUR kids what they most need: steady words from Scripture and a pathway to bring their real worries to God.Whether you're parenting little ones, texting a college student, or mentoring kids at church, this conversation and the ensuing collection of conversations offers language, stories, and steps you can use today. If we don't disciple our children, the world will—and its version of “truth” won't match God's. Let's make this week intentional: speak identity, pray boldly, and keep the door open for ongoing faith conversations.The devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this conversation can be found in the Family Disciple Me app. Spend some time in that guide, as encouragement in your journey to Seek Him Speak Him.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Ever felt invisible, even in the midst of a crowd? In this episode, we lean into the next truth from Psalm 139:  "I Am On God's Mind." A vivid beach-side picture reminds us that are never off God's radar. Think warm sand slipping through your fingers, then multiply that beyond counting. That's how Scripture describes God's thoughts toward you: constant, precious, and purposeful.Hosts Tosha Williams and Wendy Hickox unpack how this reality reshapes identity for overwhelmed parents, curious kids, and anyone feeling small in a loud world. Drawing from Psalm 121, Jeremiah 29:11, Philippians 1:6, and Jeremiah 31:3, we trace a thread of care, plans, perseverance, and everlasting love. The result is practical: simple moments become teaching moments. At the table, on a walk, or on the shore, we can point to the ordinary and tell the deeper story:  God is thinking about you right now. In this episode, we also share one more time the short identity poem that works both as a personal confession and a blessing you can speak over your family: "I am fully known, I am never alone, I am wonderfully designed, and, I am on God's mind." Amen!!!Grounded in our Seek Him Speak Him rhythm, we encourage you to use the accompanying devotion-driven discipleship guide (found in the Family Disciple Me app). Start with Scripture first, let God's word steady your heart, then pass on what you've received in to those God has entrusted to you. We close with the prayer of Psalm 139:23–24, inviting God to search us, quiet our anxious thoughts, and lead us in the way everlasting. If you're craving a fresh reminder of your worth and a simple path to disciple the next generation, this conversation offers handles you can use today.If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs this reminder, and leave a review to help others find these hope-filled conversations.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

In this episode, we explore the pointer-finger truth of "The Five Finger Gospel":  Jesus knows you. As we point to those entrusted to us, we are personally reminded of how being known by the Good Shepherd changes how we parent, mentor, and lead the next generation. From childhood memories of church members who remembered her name, to the warm, earthy picture of a pastor-farmer who greets a newborn calf with joy, host Tosha Williams traces the thread of John 10 and Psalm 139 through real life.In this episode, we walk through a quick recap of "The Five Finger Gospel" and then camp on the fourth truth: the Good Shepherd knows His sheep and calls them by name. That means kids don't have to earn God's attention, impress Him with perfect behavior, or hide when they fail. It means we're invited into a relationship where we hear His voice, respond in trust, and follow with confidence. Along the way, we make it practical with a simple habit you can try today: hold up your left hand, point your finger, and say out loud, “Jesus knows you.” Pair it with a short reading of John 10:14 - “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me” or Psalm 139, and let that small moment carry big weight.We also encourage the devotion-driven discipleship framework. Seek Him leads to Speak Him, keeping our hearts grounded in truth as we guide our kids toward Jesus. When we let God's knowledge of us soak in, we stop performing and start abiding. When we speak that truth to a child, we offer a pathway to courage, honesty, and hope. Ready to share your faith using the simple tool that goes with you everywhere you go?

Start with a small motion that reminds us of a big truth: wiggle your ring finger. In the world, this finger reminds us of committed human love, and in "The Five Finger Gospel", this finger reminds us of Jesus' love. The truth of the ring finger is "Jesus Loves You!" With this, we continue in this series of conversations by centering the ring finger and building from Scripture that  God's love for us is lavish, personal, and eternal. Host Tosha Williams shares how, when she was a little girl, adults repeated this truth to her, helping her understand Jesus' love from a very young age. She calls parents, grandparents, family members and Christians of all ages to do the same for those entrusted to them. We open 1 John 3:1 to see what great love the Father has lavished on us, naming us His children. Then we anchor our security in Romans 8:39, which promises that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. From there, Ephesians 3:18–19 stretches our imagination for how wide and long and high and deep Christ's love really is. This isn't abstract theology; it's a daily lifeline for parents, mentors, and leaders who want to ground kids in something stronger than moods, grades, or social feeds.You'll hear practical ways to make love memorable at every age: a hand cue that becomes family shorthand, short verses for little hearts, honest talks for teens, and simple blessings that speak value by name. We model Seek Him Speak Him as a rhythm—first receiving God's love for ourselves, then sharing it with those entrusted to us. If you've felt weary, unseen, or unsure how to start faith talks at home, this conversation gives you language, Scripture, and a next step you can try today.If this encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a reminder of God's nearness, and leave a quick review to help others find these conversations. Then pick someone you love, lift your left hand, wiggle that ring finger, and tell them the truest thing you can say: Jesus loves you.The devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this episode may be found on the soon-to-be-released Family Disciple Me app!!!

A tiny pinky can carry a giant truth: Jesus sees you. We kick off our "Five Finger Gospel" conversations by anchoring a child's faith—and our own—by starting with the smallest finger to remember that no one is too small or too little to be significant to God. We wiggle our pinky finger to remind us:  "Jesus Sees Me!"Host Tosha Williams shares a tender childhood memory of an elderly man with a weekly pack of chocolate-covered raisins and how that small act taught her the dignity of being noticed. From there, we open Matthew 19:14—echoed in Mark 10 and Luke 18—to show how Jesus rebuked those who sidelined kids and welcomed them as central to His kingdom. We connect this to 1 Samuel 16:7, reminding ourselves that God sees beyond labels and performance into the heart. If you've ever felt overlooked, this conversation offers a way to receive God's gaze as love, not scrutiny, and to pass that assurance to the next generation.You'll hear practical, low-friction ways to weave discipleship into everyday moments: a hand signal kids remember, a spoken refrain—“Jesus sees me”—and habits that make eye contact, names, and presence normal in homes, classrooms, and church hallways. We explore how welcoming children is welcoming Jesus Himself (Mark 9:37), why attention is a form of blessing, and how leaders, parents, and mentors can replace pressure with presence. By the end, you'll have language, Scripture, and simple steps to help kids know they are seen by God now, not someday.This episode goes along with an accompanying devotion-driven discipleship guide which can be found on the Family Disciple Me app - - - - soon to be released!

A crowded church gym, a sea of bright eyes, and a whisper that changed everything. That's where "The Five Finger Gospel" began—not as a program, but as a moment of clarity: we are called to lead. When you raise your left hand and notice the simple L made by your thumb and pointer finger, you're holding a mission statement you can carry anywhere. We walk through the heart behind this tool, why simplicity honors the depth of the gospel, and how Psalm 78:4 charges us to tell the next generation about God's power and the wonders he has done.Host Tosha Williams shares why making profound truths simple enough for a child is not dumbing down faith; it's opening the door. With this practical framework, you'll hear how each finger becomes a step in the story of salvation—clear, memorable, and ready for real life. This conversation speaks to parents, grandparents, teachers, youth leaders, and any follower of Jesus who wants a portable, pressure-free way to begin. You'll find language that fits little hearts, space for questions, and a warm invitation to keep the focus on Jesus.Then we get specific: who are your five? Naming five kids in your world turns intention into action and builds a ripple that can reach far beyond your home or church. We close with a commitment to lead, to welcome, and to speak the truth we will not hide. If you're ready to wave a welcome to the next generation and walk with them toward Christ, raise your left hand and join us.

Ever notice how we can gush about a great meal or a new show, yet freeze when it's time to talk about Jesus? We open that tension with a straight path forward: boldness doesn't start with a megaphone, it starts with presence. Walking through Acts 4, we sit with Peter and John as they heal a man, face arrest, and announce the line that still shakes timid hearts today: we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.We share how this kind of courage grows from a simple, repeatable rhythm: Seek Him Speak Him. That means leaning into Scripture with practical prompts, lingering long enough to hear God's voice, and letting that overflow spill into natural conversations with the people entrusted to us. You'll hear why boldness is leadership, not loudness, and how everyday discipleship can move from forced to fluent. We also tackle common barriers—fear of awkwardness, not knowing enough, or worrying about pushback—and offer clear steps that make faith talk feel honest and inviting.Along the way, we connect key passages like Psalm 107:2 and 1 John 1:3, show how presence produces clarity, and how clarity makes courage reasonable. You'll leave with language you can use today, from simple questions that turn reading into dialogue to ideas for sharing your story with a child, spouse, friend, or neighbor.

The middle finger often gets a bad rap in our culture, and for good reason. It's used to express anger, disrespect, and even hate. But what if we could redeem it? In this episode of "The Five Finger Gospel," we take what's often seen as negative and reframe it as a powerful symbol of love: our tallest finger reminds us of the tall, tall cross where Jesus died for us. What looked like a moment of defeat became the foundation of our hope.Romans 5:8 declares, “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus didn't wait for us to be good enough—He took our place, paid our debt, and made a way. This conversation equips parents and mentors to talk honestly and gently with kids about sin, death, forgiveness, and eternal life without shame or fear.Host Tosha Williams shares personal stories of spiritual awareness in young children—including a toddler's surprising understanding of death—and offers gospel-centered conversation guides for everyday discipleship moments: around the table, during car rides, or at bedtime.Whether you're just beginning or ready to grow deeper, this episode gives you a hand full of truths about the Gospel.

Have you ever questioned your purpose or wondered why you're here? You're not alone. For centuries, people have searched for meaning in their work, relationships, and achievements—yet many still struggle to understand their reason for being.Psalm 138:8 offers a powerful perspective: "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me." This isn't wishful thinking but a promise anchored in God's steadfast love. As King David declared, God doesn't abandon the work of His hands—He has established a purpose for each of us and works through us to fulfill it. Your life isn't random; you weren't sent into chaos. You were intentionally created with a divine calling.When we immerse ourselves in Scripture, God often highlights verses that become life verses—passages that frame our calling and purpose. I discovered mine in June 1985 when Philippians 1:20 leaped from the page: "I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death." This verse has guided me through decades, providing direction even in uncomfortable situations. Over time, God expanded my understanding to include "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." These words continue to shape my purpose to live boldly for Christ regardless of circumstances.We can also speak purpose into others who question their value. Share scriptures like Psalm 20:5—"May he give you what your heart desires and fulfill your whole purpose"—with those around you, especially the next generation. Help them understand they're here by divine appointment with a meaningful purpose. Finding your God-given purpose begins with spending time in His Word, asking what He's saying to you and how He wants you to respond. I encourage you to discover the Scripture that speaks to your calling and let it guide your journey. Remember, the Lord will fulfill His purpose for you because His steadfast love endures forever. Will you open your heart to discover it today?The accompanying devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this podcast episode will be available on the Family Disciple Me app (SOON TO BE RELEASED!!!)______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Moving beyond the world of "oughts" and "shoulds," we discover the transformative power of saying "I will" to God. The determination to fulfill our sacred pledges stands at the heart of authentic faith, creating a testimony that impacts not just our lives, but those around us.The Psalmist declares, "I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people" (Psalm 116:17-18), showing us that our commitments aren't meant to be private matters, but powerful witnesses. Throughout Scripture, we find God's people making bold declarations—"I will give thanks," "I will sing," "I will fear no evil," "I will walk in your truth." These aren't casual statements but expressions of holy determination that shape their stories.What's your pledge to God? Perhaps it's "I will trust you in this difficult season" or "I will teach my kids your word" or "I will praise you in the valleys." Whatever God impresses on your heart becomes not just a personal commitment but a living testimony. When we fall short—as we all do—God doesn't demand perfection but invites us back to devotion, allowing His grace to sustain our "I will" statements.This devotion-driven discipleship forms the foundation of a life transformed by Scripture. We seek God in His Word, finding those verses that speak deeply to our hearts, and then we speak those truths to others. Our personal pledges become the bridge between our devotional life and our discipleship influence.As we conclude this series on finding life verses that shape our story, remember to look for the promises, prayers, purposes, praises, and pledges in Scripture that God can use to transform your journey. Don't settle for good intentions—rise up with strength and say "I will" to the Lord, allowing His Word to shape your story every day for the rest of your life.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by life's challenges, desperately needing a reset button? Tosha Williams reveals the transformative power of praise that has repeatedly carried her through difficult seasons. "When I praise God, my life is empowered like nothing else," she shares, offering a spiritual practice that lifts our eyes from problems and refuels depleted souls.Drawing from the rich tradition of biblical praise—particularly Psalm 118—Williams unpacks how worship isn't merely religious duty but spiritual renewal. The psalm's intimate declaration "You are my God, and I will praise you" becomes a personal touchstone for finding strength amid struggle. Williams vulnerably shares how her own family has leaned on the refrain "God is good and His love endures through all generations" during their hardest moments, demonstrating how praise provides perspective when circumstances feel overwhelming.Beyond personal transformation, Williams explores how praise profoundly impacts our relationships. When we vocalize gratitude and worship, people notice what anchors our hope. She shares her family's beautiful Thanksgiving tradition where everyone responds to shared blessings with "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His faithful love endures forever"—creating a chorus of praise that unites them in gratitude. These practical examples show how weaving worship into everyday moments creates contagious faith communities.Whether you're running on empty or seeking deeper spiritual practices, this episode offers both encouragement and practical steps. Access the conversation guide in the Family Disciple Me app (SOON TO BE RELEASED!!!) to continue this journey personally and with others. Remember Williams' powerful challenge: "You can choose to pout or praise." Which will you choose today?______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Ever notice how many people navigate life guided by simple mottos like "follow your heart" or "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"? While these sayings shape decisions and relationships, followers of Jesus have something infinitely more powerful – God's Word. Out of thousands OF verses in the Bible, certain Scriptures become deeply personal, transforming into what I call "LIFE VERSES" that guide our journey for decades.This episode launches a series exploring how God uses specific scriptures to direct our paths. I share my own story of discovering a life verse at 14 years old, recording it in a green spiral notebook I still have today. That single verse has provided direction throughout my life, demonstrating how God can use scripture to shape us from youth through every season. Looking at Psalm 119:35 – "Lead me in the path of your commandments, for I delight in it" – we find both a prayer for guidance and a declaration of joy that perfectly captures our relationship with God's Word.Throughout this series, we'll explore five types of Scriptures that make powerful LIFE VERSES: promises, prayers, purposes, praises, and pledges. I candidly acknowledge that Bible reading sometimes feels like duty or drudgery, but consistent engagement transforms that duty into discipline and eventually into delight. I encourage you to mark meaningful verses in your Bible, journal about them, and share them with others. When you point someone else toward a verse that shaped your story, you're inviting them to experience God's Word personally. Download the Family Disciple Me app (SOON TO BE RELEASED!!!!) for conversation guides that help facilitate these meaningful discussions. As we discover the joy of life verses together, may God use His Word for His glory, our good, and the good of those He's entrusted to us.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Ever felt your mind wander during prayer, losing focus and direction just when you need to connect with God most deeply? You're not alone. While quick "stoplight prayers" have their place, there's a profound difference when we learn to pray with laser focus and genuine depth.The secret lies in an ancient practice modeled by spiritual giants throughout history – praying Scripture. When we examine the prayer lives of Moses, David, Daniel, and Paul, we discover they consistently wove God's own words into their conversations with Him. Most powerfully, Jesus Himself turned to Scripture in His darkest hour on the cross, quoting from Psalms even as He suffered.This episode reveals how Scripture-focused prayer transforms our scattered thoughts into powerful spiritual conversations. Think of it as spiritual breathing – inhaling God's Word as you seek Him, then exhaling it back in focused prayer. The beautiful simplicity of this approach means you don't need to craft perfect words; you can borrow God's perfect words instead.Beyond personal growth, Scripture-focused prayer becomes a powerful discipleship tool. When you ask "Can I pray for you?" and then pray God's Word over someone, you're giving them the gift of divine truth wrapped in compassion. Imagine praying Psalm 23 over a friend facing fear, Ephesians 3:14-21 for someone needing strength, or the blessing from Numbers 6:24-26 over your children before school.Ready to transform your prayer life? This week, open your Bible to a passage – perhaps a psalm, one of Paul's prayers, or the Lord's Prayer. Pray it aloud for yourself, then pray it for someone else. Visit the Family Disciple Me app for the accompanying Discipleship Conversation Guide (SOON TO BE RELEASED!!!!) to take this journey deeper. Remember, discipleship starts with a conversation, and the most meaningful conversations are shaped by God's own words.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

What do you cling to when life feels like it's spiraling out of control? The answer should be God's promises.Tosha Williams from Family Disciple Me explores how Scripture becomes our anchor during life's storms through the "Life Verses" series, focusing on Psalm 145:13. This verse reveals two powerful truths: God's kingdom is eternal, and He is completely trustworthy in every promise He makes.With biblical scholars estimating between 3,500-7,500 divine promises throughout Scripture, believers have access to an incredible treasury of assurances. Whether you need promises about God's presence during loneliness, His provision during scarcity, His peace during anxiety, or His power working through your weakness, Scripture contains exactly what you need for every situation.Making these promises visible transforms how they impact our daily lives. Place them on your refrigerator, desk, car dashboard, or create artistic renderings to display throughout your home. These visual reminders help God's Word leap off the page and actively shape your story. But don't stop there – share these promises through email signatures, encouraging texts, or spoken words over those who need hope.The invitation is clear: seek God through His Word, discover His promises, cling to them during difficult times, and generously share them with others.

The team explains the two main types of 3D printers (FDM and SLA) and the materials they use. They share practical examples of how 3D printing has solved specific problems in their lab, like creating custom auto-sampler racks and holders. Additionally, they discuss the potential drawbacks and limitations, focusing on material compatibility and precision requirements. The conversation also touches on personal uses of 3D printers for making toys and gifts, highlighting the broad applicability and creativity that 3D printers enable.

The holidays overflow with noise, lists, and glitter - - - yet the angels teach a different kind of celebration. We trace the arc of joy from a dark field in Bethlehem to the moments right now where God meets us in kitchens, carpools, and crowded living rooms. Instead of chasing perfect scenes, we look for the signs of God's presence that made heaven erupt: rescue, reconciliation, answered prayer, and worship rooted in a Savior who came near.We open Luke 2 and hear the angel's words as more than memory: good news that causes great joy for all people. Then we widen the lens with Job 38 and Revelation to spot a pattern:  joy rises wherever God's goodness is revealed and His work unfolds. That shift frees us from performative cheer. If joy is tied to God's nearness, it can surface in the most ordinary places. We share simple prompts that help families discern those God-at-work moments, and we name the small but eternal scenes where heaven still celebrates: a brave apology, a whispered prayer, a quiet act of service that heals a heart.To make this real, we offer an easy practice: start a Joy Tracker. Create a family thread or around-the-table rhythm where everyone shares one “joy sighting” each day, focusing on where they saw God at work. No big project, no heavy lift—just honest attention and a few words that turn awareness into testimony. As these stories accumulate, homes begin to echo the fields of Bethlehem. Joy becomes less about wrapping paper and more about presence, less about perfection and more about praise. And because it's grounded in who Jesus is, this joy carries beyond December, anchoring hope for the weeks ahead.Find the coordinating devotion-driven discipleship guide, for your personal devotions as well as meaningful discipleship, HERE.If this episode encourages you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a gentler path to joy, and leave a review with your own “joy sighting” from today. Your story might prompt someone else to see God's nearness too.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo   Hey Folks! We are down a Thalen this week but continue chipping away at our massive backlog of discussion topics after taking two weeks off due to holiday and illness.  We start off with some talk about Dwarven Realms Season 5 and how it allows you to get all the loot without gating your access.  From there, we talk about Star Citizen and how it has mostly kept all of its promises during the 2025 release schedule.  Most of us have been playing Guild Wars Reforged, and we talk a bit about how much better the game looks and what we are playing.  Grace discusses a Vampire-Survivors-like that has building sim functionality in the very long-named Monsters Are Coming! Rock & Road.  Bel has ventured forth into the realm of FDM printing and talks about various lessons learned.  Lastly, a quick topic as Bel shares that the POE2 bear is really good, but so is the recently shadow-dropped Paladin in Diablo 4.   Topics Discussed: Dwarven Realms Season 5 Star Citizen 2025 Releases Guild Wars Reforged Monsters are Coming! Rock & Road Where Winds Meet Bel Loves FDM Printing POE2 Bear and D4 Paladin

What if the most meaningful moments are waiting just beyond your comfort zone? A quiet nudge to get up turned a routine morning into a sky on fire, and a slow evening into a backyard Aurora. That jolt of beauty opened a bigger question we explore together: how does God reveal holy mystery in ordinary life, and how do we respond when He does?We start with the practice of attention, which may be as simple as coffee in hand, Bible open, and ears tuned for a whisper that interrupts the familiar. From there, we trace a line to the shepherds in Luke 2, who moved from routine to revelation when the heavens lit up and an angel announced good news. Deuteronomy 29:29 frames the moment: some things remain hidden with God, yet the revealed things are ours to steward. The shepherds didn't sit and analyze; they ran toward Bethlehem, found the Child, and then carried the story. That movement from awe to action is the pattern we unpack: Seek Him, then Speak Him.Along the way, we reflect on Colossians 1:27 - "Christ in you, the hope of glory" - as the center of Christian mystery. We talk about how to cultivate this posture at home with a devotion-driven conversation guide that asks what, why, and how, and we introduce the Mystery Manger Hunt, a Scripture-led activity that turns the nativity into a step-by-step journey. The goal isn't to solve God like a puzzle; it's to participate in His revelation with open eyes, willing feet, and a voice that shares what we've seen.If your week feels ordinary or overloaded, consider this your invitation to take one step toward wonder. Listen, reflect, and then try the guide with someone you love. If it moves you, share the episode with a friend, subscribe for more devotion-driven conversations, and leave a review to help others find the journey. Where are you seeing clues of Christ today?Find the coordinating devotion-driven discipleship guide HERE.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

On a recent trip to the United Kingdom, host Tosha Williams encountered velvet ropes at the crown jewels, barricades in palaces, and secret service agents keeping the royalty removed from civilian reality. These real encounters with earthly monarchy frame a deeper truth: Jesus is the kind of King who draws seekers near. From the Tower of London to Windsor and an unexpected brush with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the contrast sets the stage for the Magi's journey and a fresh look at what it means to seek and find. For the truth is, in Jesus, we discover a King who removes the distance. We unpack who the Magi were and why they took the star seriously, and we also consider how Jeremiah 29:13 becomes a lived promise for anyone willing to move from curiosity to commitment. Along the way, we highlight a striking detail from Matthew's Gospel: Gentile outsiders become the first recorded worshipers of Jesus, signaling a kingdom where access isn't gated by status. This is not a museum of faith where you watch from behind glass. It's an open invitation from a King who welcomes the far-off first.From there we get practical. We walk through a Seek Him Speak Him rhythm with simple questions that turn Scripture into conversation and courage into action. You'll hear how to share what you're seeing with your kids, a friend, or someone who feels far from God, and why telling your story matters more than polished words. We also share our “Wise Man Hunt,” a joyful tradition that turns your space into a map of pursuit and discovery - - - perfect for families, small groups, or anyone who wants a tactile reminder that the path to Jesus is open and the welcome is warm.If you're hungry for a faith that closes the gap between longing and presence, this conversation will help you take the next step. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs hope, and leave a review to help others find a King who says, “Come closer.”The devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this episode can be found HERE.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Hope isn't a mood we chase in December; it's a promise with a name. We open the season by looking through Mary's eyes, where an ordinary day collides with God's faithful word and changes the story for every family that follows. From the angel's announcement to the echoes of Isaiah and Matthew, we trace how a centuries-old promise becomes deeply personal—shaping how we pray, parent, give, and wait when the details don't make sense yet.Host Tosha Williams shares how this promise threads through Scripture and into our kitchens, commutes, and crowded schedules, and why the book of Galatians calls us heirs to something bigger than holiday tradition. We talk about trust that moves like Mary's “be it unto me according to your word," as we balance between the honest tension of slow answers and second guesses. Then we ground it in practice with a simple tradition inspired by the real Saint Nicholas: giving early “promise gifts” that point to Emmanuel. Think small, meaningful tokens paired with Scripture to remind the people in your care that God keeps His word and Christmas is coming.This conversation is devotion-driven and practical. You'll leave with questions to ask God this week, Scriptures to hold, and an easy way to share hope with your people. If you're craving a Christmas that feels less frantic and more faithful, this is your on-ramp to seeing promise in the middle of ordinary life and letting your everyday kindness whisper His faithfulness.Find the coordinating devotion-driven discipleship guide HERE.If this episode resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend this holiday season, and leave a quick review so others can find these conversations. Which of God's promises are YOU holding onto this week?______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Forget sitting still by candlelight while the season rushes past. We're trading passive routines for a living journey that helps your family step into the Christmas story and actually see Jesus together. Tosha Williams invites you to an ADVENTure built around one simple, powerful rhythm: Seek Him Speak Him. First, we pay attention to what Scripture shows us; then we turn to someone we love and say, “Do you see what I see?” That single question becomes an open door to meaningful conversations that fit real life.In the coming episodes, we walk with Mary to see the promise, travel with the wise men to behold the king, stand with the shepherds to grasp the mystery, join the angels to rejoice in the joy, and finish with the victory that anchors our hope. Each step pairs a short episode with a devotion-driven discipleship guide and a flexible family activity designed for any age or stage. The guides move through what, why, and how, so you can go from insight to action without guesswork. Whether you listen while getting ready, commuting, or doing dishes, you'll have a clear plan to lead a focused 45–60 minute family moment that doesn't feel heavy, forced, or complicated.This conversation is warm, practical, and honest in the midst of December's chaos. You'll get encouragement to schedule your time, prompts that spark real talk, and ideas that scale from simple to special. Most of all, you'll discover how a familiar carol line - "Do You See What I See?" - can reshape the way you share faith at home. We're not just remembering the story; we're stepping into it, seeing new details, and helping each other notice what matters most.You can find the coordinating devotion-driven discipleship guide HERE.Subscribe, share with a friend for their personal and family Christmas devotions, and leave a review.

Heaven's glory on the mountaintop and heartbreak at the base. Few moments capture the gap between revelation and reality like the Mount of Transfiguration followed by a desperate father's plea. We walk that path with open eyes and honest hearts, asking what changes when we take prayer off the summit and into the noise. Jesus said, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer," and this becomes more than a verse; it becomes a map for how we live, love, and lead when our strength fails and our best ideas stall.So far, in this "TRANSFIGURATION PRAYER" collection of conversations, we have woven together seven portraits of prayer:interceding like Moses believing like Elijahstrengthening like Peterfollowing like Jamesabiding like John, and,surrendering like JesusThese form a simple, sturdy framework for everyday devotion-driven discipleship. Now we come to the conclusion of this collection and consider the consequences of praying like this. We name the pushback that shows up when people start praying for prodigals, for light in dark places, and for courage in the face of spiritual resistance. Instead of shrinking back, we learn to press in and pray big. Each of us are encouraged to build small, consistent practices that open space for God to move: family prayers that are short and sincere, a church “encounter room,” text threads that intercede by name, and rhythms that keep our focus on God's presence rather than our performance.The heart of our conversation is practical and hopeful. Prayer isn't a backup plan; it's the bridge where heaven meets here, where glory meets grit, where transfiguration becomes transformation. If you're carrying heavy needs, waiting on change, or longing to see faith take root in your home and community, this journey will give you language, models, and courage to keep going. Listen, share with someone who needs hope, and join us in seeking Jesus together. The devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this conversation can be found HERE.

What if the most powerful prayer doesn't go louder or longer, but lower? In our most desperate moments, prayer becomes a dependency that puts everything, everything, even our best plans, in God's hands.In this "Transfiguration Prayer" conversation, Tosha Williams points us to Jesus' example. From the mountain's radiant glory to the garden's heavy night, Jesus shows us what true surrender looks like. He teaches that prayer isn't always about escaping pain, but ultimately trusting the Father's plan with a yielded heart.When the mountain doesn't move and the cup doesn't pass, Jesus' prayer invites us to align our will with Father's plan: “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done” (Luke 22:42).  In this episode, we reflect on why prayer changes us before it changes anything else, how the same light that shone on the mountain still shines through our darkest hours, and what it means to practice daily surrender in our own prayers.This episode is for anyone standing at the base of a mountain or holding a cup they'd rather not drink. We'll discover how to yield our plans, strengthen others with honest faith, and make space for God to move in and through us. As we "Seek Him Speak Him" into our homes, friendships, and communities, Heaven meets here in ordinary lives shaped by extraordinary grace.As we near the conclusion of our "Transfiguration Prayer: Where Heaven Meets Here" series, spend time in the devotion-driven discipleship guide and ask the Lord to show you what He wants to teach you through His prayer life.

What if confidence in prayer isn't about saying more, but staying close? We trace John's surprising journey from a fiery Son of Thunder to the beloved disciple whose life was marked by abiding. John remained near enough to hear Jesus and be formed by his words. That shift from reaction to relationship becomes a practical framework for anyone who wants a steadier, deeper prayer life.In this episode, Tosha Williams walks us through some of the moments that shaped John's heart: God's command to “Listen to Him,” Jesus' rejection in Samaria, and the quiet choice to reflect glory rather than chase recognition. Instead of retelling the Transfiguration he witnessed, John lived it. He leaned into proximity, let Scripture root his desires, and recorded more of Jesus' words than anyone else in Scripture, including what Jesus said in John 15:4:  “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” From his Gospel to the book of Revelation, John shows what it looks like to abide with Christ. This abiding led John to more and more confidence in prayer, which he reminded us of in 1 John 5:14, “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.”As we look at John's example, we learn why abiding redefines we encounter prayer, how listening aligns our wants with God's will, and how private devotion becomes our public witness. We offer simple, repeatable steps—silence, a short passage, one honest question—to help you start or restart an abiding rhythm that holds in real life. If you've felt hurried, reactive, or spiritually thin, this conversation offers language and practices that can anchor your days and shape your words with grace.Ready to let heaven meet here in your rhythms of prayer? Spend some time ABIDING with Jesus using the devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this episode HERE.Follow the podcast, share this episode with someone God has entrusted to you, and abide Jesus in this week.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

What kind of pray-er are you: a talker, a listener, or somewhere in between? We step onto the Mount of Transfiguration with Peter, James, and John, then follow James down the mountain and into the real world where faith is tested and shaped. While Peter speaks, the Father issues a single command, "Listen to Him," and that command becomes the turning point for James, a Son of Thunder whose life eventually moves from ambition to obedience.Join Tosha Williams in this conversation as we explore how James' fiery impulse to call down judgment gives way to a life marked by prayer and  courage. We look at the scenes that formed him:  from the glory on the mountain, the prayerful waiting in Acts 1, and eventually the courtroom where he paid the ultimate price. Though none of James' words are recorded, we learn from him a willingness to follow Jesus no matter what. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and FOLLOW Me" (Matthew 16:24), and "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them and they FOLLOW Me" (John 10:27). You'll be inspired how a life of prayer speaks loudest through faithful steps: listening to God along the way, praying when God feels silent, choosing obedience when quitting seems easier.This episode offers a fresh vision of spiritual strength: not louder words, but a deeper willingness. We draw practical lines from James' story to our own rhythms, shifting from “God, give me” to “Jesus, where you go, I'll go." Along the way, we honor the quiet force of a life that outlives words and invite you to let your steps become a wordless amen that echoes beyond today, too.Spend some time with the Lord using the accompanying devotion-driven discipleship guide that can be found at James Teaches Us to Follow.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

When Heaven interrupted Peter on the mountain and the cloud declared, “Listen to Him,” the story of prayer turned from our effort to Jesus' intercession. Peter's very human story shows us what happens when we speak before listening, when pressure breaks us, and when grace rebuilds us. Strength doesn't flow from having it all together; it comes from time with Jesus, who is the One who steadies fragile faith and restores calling. Jesus said to Peter, “Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:31–32, NIV)In this episode, we look at Peter's example to learn what it means to be strengthened by Jesus in prayer—and then how to strengthen others through prayer. On the shoreline, Jesus asked him three times, “Do you love Me?”—not to shame him, but to send him.  "Feed My sheep" then became Peter's calling: receive strength, then give it away. Turns out, Peter learned what Jesus showed him in faith and prayer, and now we can learn from Peter. If your hope feels thin or your prayers feel small, you are not out of reach. Lift your eyes from the models in prayer and fix them on the Messiah who still prays for you. Then take the next faithful step: strengthen a friend, pray with your child, encourage someone who's weary.Spend time with Jesus and see what He wants to say to you through Peter's story and the key Scriptures in this conversation. Access the devotion-driven discipleship guide about Peter and the key verses HERE.May your faltering faith and even your failures be met by a faithful Savior who still strengthens His faithful followers today.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

What if the loudest moment of faith isn't when fire falls, but when we quietly choose to believe before anything happens?In this episode of Transfiguration Prayer: Where Heaven Meets Here, Tosha Williams leads us to look at the prophet Elijah's journey from Mount Carmel to the Mount of Transfiguration and discover how his hidden life with God produced public courage that turned hearts back. Elijah's story teaches us that faith grows in the asking and strengthens in the believing, especially when our prayers aim for God's glory rather than our own wins.Step by step, we trace Elijah's believing prayers: oil that never ran out, a child raised, a nation called back. Each miracle points to Jesus' words in Mark 11:24:  “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, BELIEVE that you have received it, and it will be yours.”Together we will look at Elijah's example and consider how to live that kind of faith today. We want to guard against name-it-claim-it shortcuts while still taking Jesus at His Word and letting expectancy shape how we ask. Along the way, we talk about how private communion fuels public courage, how panic gives way to peace in God's presence, and how steady trust becomes contagious faith that others can see and follow.From there, we lift our eyes beyond the prophet to Christ. On the Mount of Transfiguration, the Father says, “Listen to Him,” redirecting our focus to the One who fulfills everything Mount Carmel foreshadowed. Jesus doesn't just call down fire; He becomes the sacrifice that bridges the gap and turns hearts back for good.That's why devotion-driven discipleship matters. When our Seek Him becomes our Speak Him, legacy takes root. Children, friends, and neighbors learn to believe God for more because they see it in us.Ready to step into expectant prayer and a bolder, brighter faith? Spend some time in the accompanying devotion-driven discipleship guide, and spend time with God about what He wants to say to YOU through the prophet Elijah's example.

The story opens with Jesus radiant on a mountaintop, flanked by Moses and Elijah, while a voice from the cloud commands, “Listen to Him.” From that moment, we trace a surprising thread to the glory Moses once tasted on another mountain, a life of prayer that begins with knowing God and overflows into bold intercession for others.In this episode, we walk through Moses' journey from burning bush to parted sea to the daring request, “Now show me Your glory.” He had witnessed miracles, yet he wanted more than gifts; he wanted the Giver. That hunger changed him. When God proclaimed His Name and goodness, Moses came down shining, a living sign that prayer is not transactional but transformational. From mountain to mission, Moses came down to face the golden calf crisis. Instead of retreating or raging, Moses stood in the breach, reminding God of His promises and pleading for mercy. Moses is a beautiful example of what Paul reminded Timothy to do in prayer:  “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people.” (1 Timothy 2:1).Moses sets an example, but then we then lift our eyes beyond him to Jesus. On the Mount of Transfiguration, the prophets fade and the Son remains as the true Mediator "who always lives to intercede for us" (Hebrews 7:25). We explore what it means to join His ongoing ministry: carrying names into the throne room with promise-shaped prayers and returning to daily life with quiet radiance and steady courage. If your heart longs for a prayer life that bridges heaven and earth, this conversation invites you up the mountain in prayer and back into the valley with purpose. Listen, reflect, and share it with someone you're standing in the gap for.  This episode goes along with a coordinating devotion-driven discipleship guide at Moses Teaches Us to Intercede in Prayer.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

In this message given at Vanguard Church of Colorado Springs, Tosha Williams shares how a pre-dawn vision sparked a new journey when God whispered two unexpected words: “Transfiguration Prayer.” From that moment, she invites us up the mountain where Jesus shines, showing that real prayer isn't about polished words but about a surrendered heart that practices seeking God's presence.Drawing from Matthew 17, Mark 9, Luke 9, Romans 12, and 2 Corinthians 3, we discover that beholding Christ changes us and sends us back into the valley with courage, compassion, and power that truly help people. Along the way, Moses and Elijah step forward as mentors in intercession and faith, while Peter, James, and John teach us through both their weakness and their yes.The Father's voice reframes our priorities with the words “Listen to Him,” calling us to shift our focus from good things to the greatest thing. This message connects the dots between a private encounter and a public mission: from cloud to crowd, from awe to action, from seeking Him to speaking Him in our families, friendships, and neighborhoods.This message also launches a week of intentional prayer featuring short daily podcasts, devotion-driven guides, and an open Encounter Room to make space for God. The goal is not hype but intimacy that fuels impact.If you have felt stuck, tired, or wordless, let this be your invitation to go somewhere new with Jesus and to carry His presence into the places you live.

What if the chapter you'd rather skip is the one God is using to shape your calling? We open Genesis 50:20 and sit with Joseph's bold confession—“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good”—to reframe detours, delays, and disappointments as ground where purpose grows. From betrayal to breakthrough, we trace how character formed in hidden seasons becomes strength for public assignment, and how that pattern is alive in our own eight-year journey with Family Disciple Me.Joseph's story gives language to what many of us feel: purpose doesn't vanish in the pit and it isn't guaranteed in the palace; it develops when God remains our focus through every season.This is the story of Joseph, this is the story of the Family Disciple Me ministry, and this is the story each of us can have as we continue to walk with the Lord and "Seek Him Speak Him." So, be encouraged! Subscribe, share this episode with a friend who needs a “but God” moment, and leave a review to help more families discover these tools.

What if your “waiting place” is actually a greenhouse for growth? In this episode, we explore how God transforms seasons that feel stalled into fertile ground for spiritual, family, and community multiplication—starting with Israel's long stay in Goshen and stretching into the explosive movement of the early church. Instead of treating delay as dead time, we look at how Scripture frames waiting as a season to settle, steward, and sow: settle into faithful rhythms, steward what's already in your hands, and sow the seeds of discipleship that bear fruit over time.We walk through the pattern of multiplication found in Genesis and Acts—the call to be fruitful and multiply, the Israelites acquiring property and increasing, the word of God spreading widely and growing in power. Along the way, we address a cultural reality: our world is downsizing vision, commitment, and responsibility. Against that tide, we cast a hopeful vision for kingdom growth that includes both physical and spiritual children. Whether you're a parent, a single adult, a grandparent, or a young professional, you have a part to play: share the gospel, mentor someone younger, open your home, pray with a student, and bring Scripture into everyday conversations.If your life feels like Goshen right now, take courage. Growth is not postponed until perfect conditions arrive. It begins where you are—one heart, one family, one home, one conversation at a time. We close with practical prompts to help you grow in grace, truth, love, and maturity, and a challenge to make Jesus more famous through ordinary faithfulness. Subscribe at familydiscipleme.org/subscribe for more thoughtful, faith-centered conversations, share this with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others discover this message of fruitful waiting.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Alarms blare, policies stack up, and yet the world still feels unsafe. In this episode, host Tosha Williams helps us look at what's sturdier than locks and warranties. We turn to Goshen—the story of how God set His people apart inside Egypt—and trace a thread of protection that runs across Scripture and into our lives and homes today. Not escape from our problems, but embracing God's Presence within them. In this episode, we start with Genesis then move to Scriptures like Romans 8:31, Hebrews 13:6, and Psalm 18:2, unpacking why confidence grows when we see God as our Protector. Jesus' prayer in John 17:15 reframes safety: we're not removed from the world; we are guarded from the evil one within it. And 2 Thessalonians 3:3 gives the pattern families need to coach our kids to build spiritual muscle in difficult times to prepare for evil times.You'll hear practical ways to teach this at home, move from anxiety to alert hope, and stand firm with a steady, non-anxious presence. We talk about training trust through disappointments, recognizing real threats, and holding tight to the promise of 2 Timothy 4:18: the Lord rescues from every evil attack and brings us safely to His kingdom. If you've been wondering how to live with courage in a chaotic culture, this conversation offers language, Scripture, and rhythms to help you and your family live “in Goshen”—set apart, not sealed off.If this episode encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs peace in God's Protection today, and leave a quick review to help more families find their footing.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Si eres usuario de Linux, seguramente find y grep son herramientas que utilizas a diario, casi por inercia. Son pilares del sistema, sí, pero... ¿y si te dijera que hay una forma mucho más eficiente, más rápida y, sobre todo, mucho más simple de buscar archivos y texto en tu sistema?En este episodio, te guiare por un camino de modernización de tu terminal que te ahorrará horas y frustraciones. Olvídate de esas sintaxis complejas y de los tiempos de espera interminables cuando buscas en grandes volúmenes de código o en directorios llenos de archivos. Ha llegado el momento de dar la bienvenida a dos herramientas modernas, escritas en el potente lenguaje Rust, que están redefiniendo la productividad en la línea de comandos: fd y ripgrep.Todos hemos estado allí: tratando de recordar la combinación exacta de opciones para find (-name, -iname, -path, -exec, etc.), o lidiando con la lentitud de grep -r en un proyecto con miles de archivos. Estas herramientas clásicas, aunque potentes, nacieron en una era diferente del software. No ignoran por defecto directorios de Git, no colorean la salida para hacerla más legible, y su enfoque en la flexibilidad a menudo se traduce en complejidad para el usuario medio.Pero no te preocupes, ¡tenemos la solución! fd se presenta como el reemplazo definitivo para find. Es increíblemente rápido, tiene una sintaxis que parece leer la mente y, por defecto, sabe qué ignorar (¡adiós a los resultados de .git o node_modules en tus búsquedas!). Por otro lado, ripgrep (rg) es el nuevo rey de la búsqueda de texto, dejando a grep en el polvo en términos de velocidad y facilidad de uso. Incorpora Smart Case, colorea las coincidencias y es un verdadero bólido a la hora de rastrear patrones de texto, incluso en archivos enormes.En los próximos minutos, desglosaremos todo lo que necesitas saber para empezar a usar fd y ripgrep hoy mismo:Introducción al Problema: Exploraremos las razones por las que find y grep pueden ralentizar tu trabajo y por qué es crucial adoptar alternativas modernas.Presentación de fd: Descubriremos cómo esta joya escrita en Rust simplifica la búsqueda de archivos. Hablaremos de su sintaxis intuitiva, su capacidad para ignorar archivos ocultos y directorios .git automáticamente, y cómo su salida coloreada hace que encontrar lo que buscas sea un placer visual.Presentación de ripgrep (rg): Sumérgete en el mundo de la búsqueda de texto ultrarrápida.

The ground beneath our feet feels shaky right now. Everywhere we turn, headlines scream of violence, deep divisions fracture our communities, and even our families. Apocalyptic predictions circulate wildly, stirring up fear and anxiety. Where can we find solid ground when everything around us trembles?This episode introduces a first way that God took care of His people, as we explore:  "Days of Distinction: How God's Got You in Goshen." God provided safe harbor for His people during chaotic times. Drawing from the biblical account of Goshen—where the Israelites found provision and protection during Egypt's plagues—we discover a spiritual principle that transcends ancient history. Goshen wasn't merely a geographical location; it represents God's pattern of drawing a distinction around His people, saying "I've got you" when the world is in turmoil.When Joseph told his starving family, "You shall live in Goshen and be near me," we can see an example of how God positions provision before crisis hits. This pattern continues throughout Scripture and into our lives today. While the world fixates on shortages and collapse, believers can rest in the promise that God "will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." More than stockpiling supplies or retreating in fear, what our world desperately needs are faith-filled voices testifying to God's faithfulness. Like Joseph, we're called not to hoard God's provision but to extend it generously to others.Ready to experience God's distinction in your life? Join us for this journey and discover how to "Seek Him Speak Him"—first encountering God personally through His Word, then sharing His truth with those around you. When you feel surrounded by chaos, remember you're actually surrounded by the God of heaven's armies, who still provides for His people today.______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Have you ever experienced Scripture leaping off the page and speaking directly to your life? While camping in Crested Butte with my family, God highlighted Exodus 8:22-23 in a way that changed everything for me. As morning sunlight danced across the pond near our campsite, these ancient words about God making a "distinction" between His people and others pierced straight to my heart.The Hebrew word for "distinction" actually means "redemption" – revealing that God wasn't just separating His people from plagues but marking them for something profound. This revelation came during a week when our world was commemorating 9/11 and reeling from the attempted assassination of Charlie Kirk. Amid such chaos and darkness, God whispered assurance: "I've got you in Goshen."The story of God's people in Goshen isn't merely ancient history – it's a living parable for believers today. In our current landscape of fear, division, and uncertainty, God continues to make a distinction, setting apart those who belong to Him. This brings tremendous hope! Even when darkness seems overwhelming, God's people were not overcome then, and they will not be overcome now.Over the next seven episodes, we'll journey through this powerful theme, exploring God's provision, protection, purpose, prayer, preparation, and power as demonstrated in Goshen and relevant to our lives today. Whether you're a long-time follower of Christ or someone curious about what it means to have a relationship with God, these conversations are for you.We don't have to navigate these challenging times alone. God is working in and through us, creating these "Days of Distinction." Join us as we discover together how God has you in your own Goshen.
