Hiiii GGB! In today's episode we talk about grief and loss and the different ways it can show up in our lives. Sometimes grief comes from losing someone we love, and other times it comes from losing a relationship, a season, or the future we imagined. We talk about how heavy grief can feel and how God meets us in those moments. Jesus tells us to pick up our cross and follow Him, and we reflect on what it looks like to trust God even in seasons of pain and loss. we love you so much. Jesus loves you more. -Ang & Ari ORDER OUR NEW BOOK!

Glenn van Rooyen (NCMI team, Cornerstone Church, South Africa) encourages us on finding hope and purpose in a spiritual wilderness by looking at Ezekiel 47. God brings life to dead places!
“For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Adonai Yahusha Ha'Mashiach: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” PHILIPPIANS 3:20-21 את CEPHER
Today’s Bible Verse: “I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted.” — Psalm 77:1–2 Psalm 77:1–2 captures the honesty of a heart in deep distress. The psalmist doesn’t hide the struggle—he cries out repeatedly, reaching for God in the middle of sleepless nights and overwhelming emotion. It’s a picture of persistent prayer when comfort feels distant. “Want to listen without ads?

Key Truth: Christ followers fill their lives with God's righteousness rather than temporary pleasures.Key Verse: Matthew 4:3–4Summary: The devil first tempts Jesus by appealing to the lust of his flesh. Yet Jesus overcomes the temptation by hungering for God's righteousness instead of satisfying the needs of his physical body. Followers of Jesus must fill their lives with the eternal nourishment of God's righteousness that comes from God's Word and Christian community, rather than the temporary pleasures that satisfy us only for a moment._________________________________Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/legacychurchtx/Join us in person:https://legacychurchhutto.com

It's time for the big-meal dry fly platform: hoppers and stoneflies.When we open our fly boxes, we're looking for a solution. If trout are sipping tiny olives in a soft tailout, we probably reach for the low-riding, vulnerable look of a Comparadun or a Parachute. And if we see trout slashing at hovering, skittering Grannoms in a riffle, we probably choose an Elk Hair Caddis or similar.But what do we pick when the trout food is bigger — when trout are eating hoppers, stoneflies, cicadas or other big bugs on the surface that are twenty times the size of a Blue Winged Olive? Those trout aren't looking for snacks. They're hunting for dinner — for the main course. And we need a platform or a style to match the moment.The hoppers and stoneflies platform is a major departure from the delicate mayfly imitations we've covered in this series. This platform isn't about perfectly matching the wing of a Hendrickson or the subtle flutter of an October Caddis. It's about presenting a substantial, high-calorie meal that gets attention. Whether it's a Golden stonefly clipping across the hoppy water of a bouldered run, or an unlucky grasshopper blown onto the surface from a grassy bank, these are not subtle bugs. They make a splash. They struggle. And in the best moments, they draw explosive strikes.With this platform, we substitute subtlety for buoyancy. Hackle is traded in for rubber legs, and dubbing is often replaced by closed-cell foam. In this episode, we break down this big-meal platform. We'll look at a parts list, cover some pros and cons about material choices, and look at the particulars of the platform itself.My friend, Matt Grobe, joins me for a detailed look at another of our favorite dry fly platforms.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | What's the Deal With Emergers?

Exodus 3:1-15Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!"And Moses said, “Here I am.” “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, ‘What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.' ” God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.' “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation."
Our chapter sees the death of Miriam and Aharon.It also sees Moses' famous sin that will deny him entry to the Land.As we shall suggest. all of this has much to do with the fact that we have just jumped 38 years and we are now in the final year of the Wilderness, and this is a new generation.
In Ephesians 6, Paul describes the armor of God and tells believers to take up “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” When Jesus faces off with the devil in the wilderness, he uses Scripture as his main defense. Each temptation from the devil was met with a specific truth from God's Word. In the same way, we too are called to apply Scripture specifically to our lives in order to combat the deceptions, accusations, resistance, and temptations from the enemy. The more we saturate our minds with Scripture, the more the Holy Spirit brings specific verses, promises, or truths to our minds in the moments we need them most.
Leviticus 16 // Nathan MillerIn this teaching on Leviticus 16, we examine the detailed instructions given to Aaron regarding the Day of Atonement. The sermon explains the gravity of entering behind the veil and the necessity of the sin offering and the burnt offering. A central focus is placed on the two goats: one sacrificed to satisfy justice and the "scapegoat" sent into the wilderness to carry away the guilt of the camp. We discuss how these rituals illustrate his mercy and the lengths he goes to so that his presence can remain among his people. This sermon helps us understand the weight of sin and the beauty of being made clean in his sight.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.03.08

Morning Worship Sermon with Rev. Bud Hance Scripture reference Luke 4:1-15 Satan Tempts Jesus 1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'” 5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.” 8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.'” 9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,' 11 and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.' ” 12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'” 13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. Jesus Begins His Ministry In Galilee 14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
We trace the wilderness story and confront the urge to prove ourselves through Lenten checklists. We shift from guilt-driven striving to practices that help us remember we are God's beloved and live from that identity together.
If God is real and good, why do so many seasons of life feel like a wilderness? In this message, Dan King walks through Exodus 16–17 to show that the wilderness isn't where faith dies—it's often where it's trained. Through the story of manna, water from the rock, and Israel's struggles to trust, you'll see how hunger, uncertainty, and even frustration can become opportunities to experience God's provision and presence in ways you might otherwise miss. If you've ever wondered whether God is still at work in the dry seasons of life, this conversation will give you a new way to see the wilderness.

In this Riverside episode, I share an article that I published a few years ago, title, The Order of Everything. I also share some Troutbitten updates about my upcoming book, about the Troutbitten Shop, about the live podcast on March 28th at New Trail Brewing Company and the Troutbitten film festival happening later this year, in October. There's an order to everything to keep this Troutbitten project moving forward, and the work of these first weeks of 2026 had me thinking about one of my favorite concepts for a day on the water . . .A lot goes into a good fishing trip. It's a flexible framework of pieces and parts mixed in with a little fortuitous intuition. That first trout to the net is rarely luck. And when you start to lose count of how many fish have come to hand, you can be sure that luck has had very little to do with it.

In this message, Pastor Lonnie emphasizes how, in a world full of constant noise and distractions, Lent calls us to choose something different: silence. Not just the absence of sound, but a deeper stillness where we can listen to our own thoughts and hear God's voice. As Fox River prepares to celebrate 25 years as a congregation, this season feels especially meaningful. Lent isn't just a time to reflect on the past; it's also a time to prepare. We remember Jesus' forty days in the wilderness. It was not a time of defeat but of strengthening and clarity. Similarly, the wilderness seasons in our own lives, and even this milestone in our church's journey, may be shaping us for what lies ahead. As we look toward the next 25 years, we do so with confidence. The same faithful God who has brought us this far continues to lead us forward. The wilderness is not the end of the story. Resurrection is on the horizon.
Sarah McDugal is back on the podcast, and this time we're talking about what it actually takes to protect your children inside a family court system that often reframes abuse as "mutual high conflict" and makes the protective parent look like the problem. Sarah is a clarity coach and founder of Freedom Navigator and Wilderness to Wild, where she works exclusively with protective parents navigating high-conflict divorce and custody battles. In this conversation, we talk about why the ways most of us instinctively respond—explaining, defending, and trying to get people to understand the truth—can actually work against us in court. We also dive into Sarah's High Conflict Court Risk Index, an assessment designed to help parents understand early how likely their case is to become a long, drawn-out legal battle. The earlier you can see the terrain you're walking into, the more strategically you can move through it. And we talk about the kids. One of the most powerful reframes Sarah offers is that protecting our children doesn't always mean shielding them from harm. Sometimes the greatest protection we can give them is helping them learn how to navigate difficult realities with clarity, resilience, and support. If you're deep in a high-conflict case and feel like everything you do somehow gets used against you, you're not imagining it. The family court system is not what most of us think it is—and fighting it the way we naturally want to can sometimes make things worse. This conversation offers a different playbook. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why what family court labels "high conflict" is very often an abuser-victim dynamic, not a mutual conflict situation (5:28) How you can shift the dynamics in court by changing yourself, not by trying to change the other person or the system (11:10) The High Conflict Court Risk Index, what it assesses, who it is for, and why taking it early means you can start the right conversations sooner (12:28) Why an interdisciplinary divorce team saves you time, money, and unnecessary damage (24:28) What to do when your high conflict court risk comes back moderate to high, and where to go for support (23:30) Why protecting your kids from all harm is not the goal and how to start teaching them to navigate tricky people and tricky situations instead (31:30) ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

Description:Many of us were taught that desire is dangerous—something to manage, suppress, or feel ashamed of. But what if desire isn't the problem at all? What if it's not just about sex or attraction, but about the places we feel most alive? Today, Jen and Amy sit down with FTL fan-favorite Jay Stringer, a licensed therapist and author whose work helps people understand the deeper stories shaping their desires—especially the ones we've been taught to hide, or silence. Drawing from his powerful new book Desire, Jay reframes desire not as a moral failure or impulse to eliminate, but as a signal worth listening to—one that points us toward what formed us, what wounded us, and what we are still longing for beneath the surface. Jay shifts the focus from behavior modification to understanding the story behind desire—for intimacy, success, escape, creativity, or belonging—shaped by early attachment, trauma, and unmet needs. The conversation moves from "What's wrong with me?" to "What happened to me?" turning desire from shame into meaning. This is not a conversation about labeling or fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself—how your story formed you, and how listening to what brings you to life can lead toward freedom, wholeness, and deeper connection. This episode also serves as the opening doorway into our Wilderness & Wonder series. In a season when many of us are navigating uncertainty—spiritually, relationally, or internally—this episode grounds us in the idea that exploration isn't aimlessness, but formation. That the wilderness can be a teacher. And that desire itself may be one of the quiet guides helping us stay awake, curious, and present as we learn how to live inside the questions. This is a gentle conversation, but it's also a brave one. And we're really glad you're here for it. Thought-provoking Quotes: “Desire is a navigational term from Latin that means ‘lack of a star'. I'm looking into the skies, trying to find this new direction. How do I get home in the midst of all this wandering, all this misery that I feel like I'm in?” – Jay Stringer “When did you last feel alive? When did you feel connected to your body, connected to others? That's the essence of desire that we're trying to get back to.” – Jay Stringer “The antidote to shame is really developing some curiosity for it.” – Jay Stringer Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Harper's Magazine | Who Goes Nazi? by Dorothy Thompson - https://harpers.org/archive/1941/08/who-goes-nazi/ Desire: The Longings Inside Us and the New Science of How We Love, Heal, and Grow by Jay Stringer - https://amzn.to/4buLADD Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing by Jay Stringer - https://www.amazon.com/Unwanted-Sexual-Brokenness-Reveals-Healing/dp/1631466720 Annie Dillard - https://www.anniedillard.com/ Brené Brown - https://brenebrown.com/ Alex Honnold climbs Taipei 101 skyscraper without ropes - https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Living/video/alex-honnold-climbs-taipei-101-skyscraper-ropes-129537771 Bill Plotkin - https://www.animas.org/about-us/our-founder/ Awake: A Memoir by Jen Hatmaker - https://amzn.to/3LTorjM Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse by Matthew Arnold - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43605/stanzas-from-the-grande-chartreuse Jon Batiste - jonbatiste.com Sarah Bessey - https://www.sarahbessey.com/ Dacher Keltner, PhD - https://www.dacherkeltner.com/ Guest's Links: Website - https://jay-stringer.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jay_stringer_/ Twitter - https://x.com/_jaystringer Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JayStringerUnwanted# Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.

Did Jesus reject political power as inherently satanic? In this episode, Cory Wing, Tim Bushong, Matt Plett, and Mike D’Virgilio respond to comments from Rhett McLaughlin suggesting that Christians seeking political influence are embracing the temptation Satan offered Christ.Is that what the temptation narrative actually teaches? The hosts carefully examine the biblical text, its historical context, and the theological implications of Christ’s rejection of Satan’s offer. They argue that this popular interpretation misunderstands both the nature of Christ’s kingship and the legitimate role of political authority under God. From a robust, postmillennial perspective, they present:- Why Christ rejected Satan’s offer — and what that rejection really means - The difference between unlawful power and lawful authority - Why pietist and anabaptist instincts often distort this passage - The necessity of political power rightly ordered under Christ - A positive, hopeful vision for Christianity in public lifeThis isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about whether Jesus is Lord over all of life — including civil authority.

A dry fly emerger is one that has part of the fly underneath the surface. It's a highly effective form (meaning tout eat it) because it matches the most vulnerable state of things that trout see.In this episode we cover the dry fly platform of emergers. We look at what they are, how and why to use them and the differences in styles within this platform. We cover some history about how emerger design got to this point and what the future might hold.Once the emerger platform really caught on in the fly fishing world, I'd say it has almost replaced many of the traditional, more high riding patterns as the average flies in the average angler's box. Maybe that's just my perception, but there's no doubt, emergers are more popular than ever, and new ideas and turns of thread keep pushing the concept further.My good friend, Austin Dando, joins me for a thorough look at another of our favorite dry fly platforms.ResourcesPODCAST: Troutbitten | Fly Tying - Essential Tools and More (S17 Ep9)READ: Troutbitten | Pattern vs PresentationPODCAST: Troutbitten | What's the Deal With Emergers?
