We reflected on our spiritual identity as strangers and pilgrims in this world, called to fix our focus on Christ rather than earthly distractions. Through scripture and discussion, we were reminded that Jesus, fully divine yet clothed in humanity, became the spotless sacrifice to reveal God's unfailing love. We explored how sin is a choice of the will, but true freedom comes when we submit to God's will, cast our burdens on Him, and trust His eternal plan. In the end, we found assurance in His love, His preparation for us, and the reminder that our lasting rest and treasure are only in Christ.Themes:We are strangers and pilgrims, called not to settle here but to live for Christ (1 Peter 2:11)Jesus, though outwardly unimpressive, was inwardly perfect and pleasing to the FatherGod's unfailing love assures us that if He is for us, no one can be against usSin is a choice of the will, but submission to God brings true freedom (1 John; Romans; Genesis)Casting burdens on the Lord brings peace and endurance in life's race (Psalm 55:22; Hebrews 12:1)God's plan is not about earthly greatness but about eternal life with HimTrue Christianity is intimacy with Christ, finding rest in His love (Matthew 11:28–30; 1 Corinthians 13:12)We are the church, not a building, and are kept safe under Christ's authority (Revelation 2:17)Looking away from distractions helps us run our race with eyes fixed on JesusGod's personal love shapes us like diamonds, preparing us for eternityScripture References: 1 Peter 2:11; 1 John; Romans; Genesis; Psalm 55:22; Hebrews 12:1; Matthew 11:28–30; 1 Corinthians 13:12; Revelation 2:17

We gathered in prayer, lifting up needs within our church family and giving thanks for God's presence in our community. Together, we reflected on the importance of trusting the Lord with all our hearts, learning to depend fully on Him rather than leaning on our own understanding. We considered how submitting to Christ breaks enemy attachments and brings true rest for our souls.

Send us a textThe age-old theological tension between God's sovereignty and human responsibility continues to challenge believers today. Does Reformed theology turn humans into robots? Does free will exist in a meaningful way? What does Jesus really mean when He invites the weary to come to Him?This thought-provoking episode dives deep into the heart of Reformed theology and its approach to salvation, tackling the misconceptions that often surround Calvinistic beliefs. We explore how every Protestant's understanding of salvation inevitably aligns with either Arminian or Calvinistic frameworks—whether they acknowledge these theological roots or not.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when we examine what truly determines our choices. While many celebrate the notion that "God loves us so much that He gave us free will," Scripture never makes such a claim. Instead, the Bible consistently points to God's love being demonstrated through the gift of His Son. We discover how our nature—not abstract free will—determines what we choose, and why this understanding is crucial for grasping how salvation works.Through a careful examination of Matthew 11:28-30, we unpack Jesus' profound invitation: "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This passage beautifully illustrates the harmony between divine calling and human response. Christ commands us to come while simultaneously being the one who enables that coming through the gift of a new heart.For those wrestling with questions of choice, predestination, and God's sovereignty, this episode offers biblical clarity without compromising the mystery. You'll gain a deeper appreciation for the miracle of salvation—how God sovereignly works while we genuinely and willingly respond to His grace.Join us as we discover why Christ's yoke is truly easy and His burden genuinely light—not because we have innate ability to bear it, but because He provides everything necessary for us to come and find the rest our souls desperately need.Support the show

Have you ever woken up from a long night of sleep and still felt tired?According to the Mayo Clinic, the recommended amount of sleep for a healthy adult is at least seven hours a night. But even getting enough sleep isn't enough to be fully rested.As parents, we can quickly become overburdened, overwhelmed, exhausted, discouraged, and restless.Let's take Jesus up on his invitation in Matthew 11:28-30:“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”Practice resting in Him. And teach your son to do the same!For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

What if rest wasn't a reward for finishing your to-do list, but a rhythm woven into creation itself? In today's fast-paced culture, biblical rest can feel elusive—especially for homeschooling families juggling responsibilities and expectations. But as Eryn Lynum shared in our recent conversation, true rest is not about doing less, but about being rooted in God's presence and design. Are you longing for slower homeschool days, a more peaceful heart, or a deeper understanding of Sabbath?

In our latest episode, Monique explores the transformative power of rest and how it can revolutionize your productivity.Drawing inspiration from a recent gathering of high-achieving Black women, she addresses the overwhelming exhaustion that often accompanies leadership roles, motherhood, and societal pressures. Monique also introduces seven actionable steps to help us combat overwhelm and create meaningful space in our lives. From fostering community support to establishing clear priorities and making time visible, she provides a roadmap for reclaiming control over our schedules.Tune in now to discover how rest can be your greatest ally in achieving your goals!GEMS DROPPED"We ​point ​to ​time ​management ​just ​because ​it ​is a ​buzz ​phrase for when things start to feel out of whack, when your focus is too scattered and spread. You look back over a day or a month and think: I was busy and ​I ​know ​I ​got ​some ​things ​done, but what just happened? And ​why ​do ​I ​feel ​like ​nothing ​is ​getting ​done although ​I'm ​doing ​all ​of ​the ​things? What ​this ​actually ​ends ​up ​boiling ​down ​to ​is ​less ​about ​time ​management and ​more ​about ​the ​courage ​to ​actually ​stop ​everything. An ​aggressive ​stop can feel impossible. It can feel indulgent.”"With growth comes breaking. When something new is born, something else has to die. ​And ​taking ​account ​of ​that ​and ​anticipating ​it ​ahead ​of ​time, ​before ​you're ​too ​broken ​to ​pull ​yourself ​back ​together. ​That's a ​tough ​practice."“For ​my women ​of ​color ​and ​moms, ​the ​courage ​​to ​stop ​everything ​feels ​like ​we're ​taking ​something ​away ​from ​someone ​else. ​To ​stop ​for ​ourselves ​feels ​like ​theft. ​To rest can feel spoiled, privileged, or entitled—but that belief is cultural conditioning. We've been trained to demonize the part of us that wants to rest, that needs a break. If you're not producing, then who are you? What are you worth? That lie holds us back. What ​I've ​discovered is the less I do, the more I get done. And ​I ​want ​to ​offer ​that ​to ​you ​today. ​The ​less ​you ​do,  ​the ​more ​you ​can ​get ​done. ​”“Stopping for yourself is not selfish—it's strategy. Build a practice that includes rest, not as a reward, but as part of the process."“​When ​we ​give ​ourselves ​away, ​we ​give ​our ​energy ​and ​our ​time ​away ​for ​other ​people ​to ​control, ​for ​other ​people ​to ​tell ​us ​what ​we ​can ​and ​should ​do ​with ​our ​time ​and ​our ​energy. There's a ​cost. And ​you're ​probably ​suffering ​that ​cost ​if ​this ​is ​the ​existence ​that ​you're ​in ​right ​now ​where ​you're ​not ​creating ​aggressive ​space ​for ​yourself.”“Whether ​you ​work ​for ​yourself ​or ​you ​work ​for ​someone ​else, ​​it's ​incredibly ​important ​to ​create ​sacred ​space ​for ​yourself and ​to ​do ​so ​as ​aggressively ​as ​you ​possibly ​can ​​and ​to ​hold ​it ​​firm. ​Do ​not ​let ​others ​in. Not ​only ​can ​you ​not ​let ​other ​people ​onto ​your ​calendar, ​you ​can't ​let ​your ​little ​productivity ​self ​in ​either. Focus ​on ​what ​you ​need ​and ​what ​those ​priorities ​are ​and ​let ​it ​flow.”STAY IN TOUCHCome and follow me on Instagram @moniquershields and I would love your feedback so send an email to ambition@moniquershields.com.

For many of us, fun is something that became more elusive as we got older. We were so involved in making sure our children and our spouses were doing well, that they were learning and growing and having fun, that our own fun often got put on the back burner. And yet, having fun and engaging in play is an important part of our mental and emotional health and is also super important to our relationships. I recently discovered that I had some work to do around play, and it's helping me to feel more complete,  whole and happy. What about you? Where are you at in figuring out fun? Here are some questions to consider: What are you doing, just for you, that is fun? What do you do that energizes you? What are you doing that you lose track of time doing? What are you doing that feels productive and meaningful? If you have a partner, what are you doing with them that is fun? What do the two of you do that energizes you, that feels productive and meaningful, and that you lose track of time doing? How can you add more play into your engagement with your partner? How can you enjoy being with them more?

In this episode, Alex discusses the importance of family togetherness and the Fourth and Fifth Commandments from his backyard gym. He shares how House Church began with the vision of families worshiping together rather than being separated into different rooms. He explains the three aspects of Sabbath: rhythm (establishing healthy patterns), rejuvenation (spiritual and physical restoration), and rest (embracing God's grace without working for salvation). Alex connects the Sabbath to the commandment to honor parents, emphasizing that our first relationship with father and mother shapes all future relationships. He concludes that a right relationship with God through Christ enables us to heal other relationships and truly embrace Sabbath rest.
