Hear ye! Hear ye! The event of all events: The Met Gala was here, and we need to take a step back and celebrate fashion's biggest night! Get our latest episode now!   Never heard of the Met Gala? Ever been to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City? Doesn't matter.    All you need to know is that this is THE celebrity event of the year featuring the most outrageous costumes and looks curated by top designers, which raises money for the The Met's Costume Institute each year.     If you want to see all the outfits? Please head over to Holly's Pinterest board and follow along!   No matter your movie career, income bracket, or societal stature, it's the coolest of the cool kids that get to go.    As exclusive as it is political, to be invited is somewhat equal to being invited to a ball hosted by royalty. You just don't say no. You show up, with bells on. Literally.     The theme this year was centered around the “Gilded Age” in American Fashion, focusing on New York's elite in the last decades of the 19th Century, around 1870 to 1900.   Think white ties, large hair with hats to match, opera gloves dresses to the floor, and very tightly nipped corsets galore.   So, join Holly and Nolan this week to see who understood the assignment, and who forgot their homework. They have graded the papers, and the results are in:    A+ Awards:   Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds were the co-chairs of this year's Gala.  As such, Blake pulled off an epic dress reveal for her arrival on the Met steps, where gala assistants untied the bow of her shimmery rose gold strapless gown by Atelier Versace to reveal a bright blue-green train underneath.    Her rose gold opera gloves also changed to blue-green, with her colors paying homage to New York City architecture, her crown paying homage to the Statue of Liberty, and the golden dress design symbolizing the Empire State Building.    We. Are. Not. Worthy.   Anna Wintour, the Queen of All Fashion, wore a colorful ensemble Chanel which featured a feather-embellished cape, and a long matching skirt that flowed down to the ground.   Of course, her outfit was gorgeous, and she even swapped out her classic sunglasses for a TIARA– which she owns! But Nolan is just bored with her same dress profile year after year.    Sarah Jessica Parker, as always, was our star student with extra credit and the teacher's pet. Her dramatic Christopher John Rodgers ball gown and exaggerated hat proved she understood the assignment again this year.    Probably Nolan's favorite of the night was Bee Carrozzini Shaffer (Anna Wintour's daughter) in in a dramatic, lacy black Alexander McQueen gown. Elegant with a capital E!   And Kaia Gerber in Alexander McQueen. She was straight out of a fairy tale.   Holly has just become the president of the Winnie Harlow Fan Club. Winnie looked like an absolute angel. Like from heaven. She wore a whimsical white tulle creation by Iris Van Herpen with an amazing headpiece. No one does the Met Gala like Iris van Herpen. No. One.   Michelle Yeoh: The epitome of GORGEOUS, and totally age appropriate, she wore a green upcycled silk-faille gown by Prabal Gurung. The piece featured a sharply draped bodice with an off-the-shoulder silhouette, complete with a sweeping skirt with a fluted hem. The elegant ensemble was finished with a dramatic matching cape. Amplifying the glamour of Yeoh's outfit was a show-stopping diamond and pearl Tasaki statement necklace — also designed by Gurung.    Thank you, Madame! A++   Alicia Keys in Ralph Lauren. She looked BEYOND in a NYC skyline cape and gown. TO DIE FOR.   Another love: Lizzo (and her flute!) in Thom Brown. That Coat!  Nolan wants to wear it to Whole Foods. He wants to wear it to the bodega. He wants to wear it everywhere. It took 32,000 man hours to make that coat, and we are here to celebrate it!   Awkwafina arrived in a custom Gucci salmon pink and multicolor tulle puff sleeve dress. Holly says she has never looked better!   Cardi B. “Goes for the Gold” in Versace– and was very well dressed. Holly loves, not Nolan's thing. The gown was wrapped in Versace gold chains and coins.   La La Anthony in an off-the-shoulder burgundy gown: What was the symbolism with her outfit?    Holly didn't like it, Nolan said they may be more to the backstory, but these two just could not agree.   And speaking of not agreeing, our hosts spend WAY too much time discussing Kacey Musgraves' floor-length Prada gown that featured jeweled embellishments and a low-cut bodice that was adorned with a bow. Musgraves completed her look with black satin gloves, an ostrich fan and plenty of jewels, including a stunning diamond necklace. Holly LOVED!!    Who forgot to do to the homework?   Billie Eilish opted for a pale green and cream Gucci corset gown, crystal-adorned black choker, and a messy-chic updo. Nolan thinks the color is terrible. And thinks it looks too prostitute-y.    That being said, he thinks it is the best she has looked in a long time. She seemed confident what she was wearing. He liked that she was wearing something with a lot of shape and structure and still felt confident and it made him happy for her because he hopes that now she'll be a little bit more confident in herself.   What did Holly think? “She looked like she was a madam and an 1800s whorehouse.”  Allllrighty then!   Kylie Jenner made Nolan want to run into oncoming traffic. It was just so bad, in so many ways. “It looks like a sad mix between the bride with no budget and bad taste. A 1950s nurse.”  Just no.   Except, it was so bad, it was good! It was so bad that it has it has sparked a million memes. They are hysterical and all over Instagram and that makes up for how bad that outfit was. It was insulting.   NOTE: If you want to honor the late Virgil Abloh of OFF WHITE, you wear one of his great dresses. Not that trainwreck. Period.    Camila Cabello in Atelier Prabal Gurung. Nolan says no to the dress. Holly says it looked like a confetti cake with skittles inside.   Emma Stone wearing a white knee-length flapper-style dress by Louis Vuitton. Did she draw the Louis Vuitton short straw?    Anderson.Paak –  no bowl haircuts, please. Ever.    Emma Corrin from the Crown in a Miu Miu oversized jacket and shorts with a top hat.  Not elegant.   Kourtney Kardashian in Thom Browne. She had no clue what the theme was and said so on national TV. RUDE. And the outfit she wore was completely wrong for her body type. Major FASHION CRIME!!   And - what about the trend to have influencers invited to this prestigious event?  Is it ok, or no?  Nolan simply says: “Go Home.”   Nolan had an interesting take on Shawn Mendes, that may or may not have anything to do with the Gilded Age or Met Gala, but he muses:  How long are we pretending Shawn Mendes is straight? We mean…. Really.    And OMG: Glenn Close in pink Valentino! We mean PINK! Wow, she killed it, AND got the assignment.   Okay, we talked smack about just everybody. If you want to SEE all these outfits, head over to Holly's Pinterest board and you can judge for yourself.    FASHION CRIMES PODCAST “The Best Fashion Friend You Never Knew You Needed” www.fashioncrimespodcast.com

Pastor Brett takes us deeper into the book of Psalms and covers the theme of trust.

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus explains what can be done to keep your heart engaged, which makes you strong and stable enough to be delivered from the tribulation. In Luke 21, He explains it from another perspective. Instead of looking at all that is going wrong and the horrors to come, we should be looking to and listening to Jesus explaining how we can escape. Join me this week in CyberChurch as we explore the mystery of being ready to escape the coming destruction of the world.

Hello to you listening in Liege, Belgium!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.May Sarton was the pen name of Eleanore Marie Sarton, a celebrated Belgian-American poet and novelist who made her mark on American literature with her witty style and eloquent word choices. She had this to say about solitude:“There is no doubt that solitude is a challenge and to maintain balance within it a precarious business. But I must not forget that, for me, being with people or even with one beloved person for any length of time without solitude is even worse. I lose my center. I feel dispersed, scattered, in pieces. I must have time alone in which to mull over my encounter, and to extract its juice, its essence, to understand what has really happened to me as a consequence of it.” [May Sarton]Question: When you take time for true solitude, what do you come away with?You're invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!

The Book of Revelation is a terribly misunderstood book. The images of death, destruction, and chaos are frightening – especially when used by preachers to frighten the faithful into more church attendance, giving, or volunteering. The question the terrifying images raises is not, “How can I avoid the struggle and suffering of the world?” Rather it is, “Who is worthy to lead us through the trials and usher in a new creation where our tears will be wiped away?”

In this episode - we talk about one facet of rebuilding trust.  Jason mentions that the lack of trust for her is rooted in fear.  I struggle with this (as you will hear at the beginning of the episode) because it feels like the issue is on her (ladies - I am here for you and standing up for YOU).  Once we get over that hump - here are several things he can do to love the fear out of her:   - Trust is destroyed at her expense, trust is rebuilt at his expense - Jason talks about a hobby that he chose to lose in order to rebuild trust.   - A shift in mindset:  “What I get to do versus what I have to do” in order to win back her heart.   - Shifting from playing to not lose TO playing to win.   - Getting out in front of fear:  anything that activates fear, is something that you can have a conversation about.   The conversation continues as we talk about the importance of him cultivating intimacy as well as developing character traits that she is looking for in order to feel safe, love (not fear) and in order to move through the process.  All things that women can expect not because of betrayal but because of who God is calling him to be.   We are so glad YOU are here, thanks for joining us!   Click here to join the wait list for the Worthy of Her Trust Workshop.

Hey, it's Mike Henry Sr. with Follower of One. Thanks for joining me again today on the Follower of One Podcast. We've been talking about a life worthy of the gospel from Philippians one verses 27 and 28. Today. I want to read from the original New International Version. So from 1984, something like that. "Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man, for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved- and that by God." We've talked a little bit about what it means to conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. That means that we "stand firm in one spirit," and we "contend as one man, for the faith of the gospel," using this translation. The word "contending" here was the word "striving" in a couple of the other translations. Today. I want to focus on verse 28, "without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved- and that by God." I think this translation is a little sharp in that regard. This once again is the 1984 New International Version. In the 1995, New American Standard it says. " In no way alarmed by your opponents, which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you and that too, from God." I don't want to be alarmed by my opponents. When I run into people who disagree or whenever difficult situations occur, my initial action is to be alarmed. There are bad things happening in the world, right now. There are major problems going on. As I record this, the Ukraine has been attacked by Russia for what seems to be no apparent reason to most of us in the West. And many people are dying and suffering as a result of that. This challenge about us being not alarmed or concerned or worried or fearful of our opponents comes from this confidence that God is in control. I confess I don't have the confidence that God is in control sometimes, when I think about, life-threatening situations, wars or accidents. I can create some pretty stiff anxiety in myself when I think about being closed in a small place. I can be alarmed by a number of things, but Paul's challenging us here to have this confidence in God. He's in charge of everything. And when we have confidence in him, we're not alarmed by the situations that we find ourselves in. We're not agonized by those things or scared or fearful. And that becomes a sign of destruction for them because our confidence is in God. It's our salvation because he gives us the peace and the joy.  I want to challenge us today to find the verses, look in the Bible. We can trust our God to pull us through. Maybe not even in this life. "In no way alarm by our opponents," today for us, I think means that we relax. We trust God, our situation isn't as bad as we think. Even if we lose our jobs, even if certain things happened to us, let's turn to God and trust him and not be alarmed. That trust and peace that we get from God is the difference maker. It's a sign of salvation for us, and it proves that people who don't have that peace don't have that God. I think that's what this whole reference to destruction means. Let's trust God today and follow him and do what he says. And he should give us peace because we won't be alarmed by our opponents. And it will be obvious to everyone else that we're connected to something bigger than what's happening to us right now. When we conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, we look different to the world. And that's part of our job. Our job is to take life following Jesus and stick it in the world. Ministry is nothing but helping other people move one notch closer to Jesus, and that begins with us living life, following him. Why don't you choose to follow Jesus today?

The Worthy boys are calling up some dates as we are discussing the 1955 melodrama, Marty! In our opening, we discuss how Marty feels like the last stop of our grandparent's Hollywood, and then we enter into our parent's Hollywood. Marty was the only film based on a TV drama to ever win Best Picture and at 90 minutes long, this is the shortest of all films that have won the Academy Award for Best Picture. We even discuss how Marty received the first Palme d'Or ever awarded and how this was the first movie to win the Oscar for Best Picture that was produced by an actor, Burt Lancaster, who does not appear in the film. It also wouldn't be a conversation about Marty without Marty himself Mr. Ernest Borgnine who dominates the screen with his gentle yet powerful performance.  Is Marty a Worthy contender for Best Picture?

On today’s episode, I am talking about being a rebel. I’m a rebel with a cause! It has taken me […] The post ILP 127: Rebel appeared first on Tammy Helfrich.

Morning: Psalm 22:19; Psalm 27:9; Psalm 138:2; Isaiah 59:1; Jeremiah 32:17; Daniel 9:21; Luke 18:7–8; 2 Corinthians 1:10 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear. On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.—While I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice.—Hide not your face from me. Turn not your servant away in anger, O you who have been my help. Cast me not off; forsake me not, O God of my salvation!—But you, O Lord, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid! “Ah, Lord God! It is you who has made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.”—He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.—“And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily.” Psalm 22:19 (Listen) 19   But you, O LORD, do not be far off!    O you my help, come quickly to my aid!

Hey, it's Mike Henry with Follower of One. Thanks for joining me again today on the Follower of One Podcast. Today, we're continuing our study of Philippians 1 27 and 28. And I want to read that today from the English Standard Version. "Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents. This is a clear sign to them of their destruction, but of your salvation and that from God." Again, that's Philippians 1 27 and 28 from the English Standard Version. We've been talking about a life worthy of the gospel. And we've talked about that in the previous two episodes. Today, we're talking about the second characteristic of a life worthy of the gospel that we are with one mind striving side by side, for the faith of the gospel. It's translated slightly differently in the other translations that I've used; the Christian Standard two days ago and the New American Standard yesterday. Striving side-by-side for the faith of the gospel, I think is part of this example that Paul's making. When we live worthy of the gospel of Christ, we are locked in on the Holy Spirit. We do what God tells us to do. We're listening to him and obeying what we know and doing the things that he's called us to do. And with one mind striving side by side, for the faith of the gospel, we live that way together. One of the challenges that I see in the world today, especially and our new kind of social media world is that it's easy for us to criticize other people. And many of us criticize other Christians. People may be critical of my own teaching about the scripture here. I don't consider myself a teacher. I'm a challenger. I want to challenge us to live our faith. I want to challenge you to ask the Holy Spirit what he would have you do. "One mind striving side-by-side for the faith of the gospel," doesn't necessarily mean that we all do the same things or that we all have the same beliefs. We don't all vote for the same candidates. We don't all show up on the same side of every single issue. I don't believe it's that way at all. "One mind striving side-by-side for the faith of the gospel," means that I give grace to the people around me. Jesus called me to be a server of other people. That's what ministry is. I need to be a servant. When I see another believer and they do things slightly differently than me, I need to give them grace. I need to serve them and help them and assist them. I want to lay down my life for one another, for other people, I need to figure out ways to follow the holy spirit and be a blessing to the people around me. Whether I necessarily agree with them or not. We're called to serve other people, whether they follow Jesus or they don't. And so "With one mind striving side-by-side for the faith of the gospel," to me means that I'm taking my orders from the Holy Spirit and I'm doing my best to serve everyone that I know. In Mark 10:45, Jesus said, "the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve." That's part of that verse, but I believe that's the universal part of it. Jesus came to serve. Our job is to serve. Today, if you're doing that, I'm grateful for you. I'm thankful that God has called you to follow him and to serve other people. Daily activity number four is that we would serve others. Today. I want to challenge you ask the Holy Spirit where he would have you serve others, and I believe that will make you be part of this answer, "striving side by side, for the faith of the gospel." We give away our faith, by the way we live. Thank you for being a follower of Jesus. Thank you for being a marketplace minister. Thank you for asking God, how he would have you make a difference in the world today because you follow him. Thanks very much.

What does it look like to live a life worthy of the gospel? Hi, I'm Mike Henry Sr. With Follower of One. Thanks for joining me again today on the Follower of One Podcast. This is actually part two of a study I'm doing on Philippians 1 27 that will probably go into verse 28 as well. Today. I'm reading the passage from the New American Standard Bible. "Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; in no way, alarmed by your opponents- which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God." That's Philippians 1 27 and 28 from the 1995 New American Standard. Yesterday we talked about the idea that we need to work towards living a life worthy of the gospel or conducting ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel. And we talked a little bit about how that's the core objective that we have as believers in Jesus, but what does conducting yourself that way look like what's the result? Well, the result, from this passage contains three components, standing firm in one spirit, striving together for the faith of the gospel with one mind and not alarmed by our opponents. I'll go into each of those. The first one today, standing firm in one spirit. I think it's an interesting challenge that we have when we think about the principles of the gospel and the idea of standing firm in one spirit. Does this mean that we all do the same thing? No. I think first of all, that standing firm in one spirit means that we are taking our direction from God. It doesn't mean that we will all do the same things or worship the same way. It's not like Paul is calling us all to disassemble all the different denominations and all do everything the same. In fact, I believe that life following Jesus is probably the greatest team sport there ever is because God is the one conducting this orchestra. He knows who's supposed to be playing what notes when, and we each get to take part in a way that we are gifted and designed for. God picked our time. He picked our place. He picked our abilities. He's even involved in our experiences and the way that we process them. And as a result, each of us carry out life following God a little differently. We're each unique. Standing firm in one spirit means doing what we know we need to do, following the Holy Spirit, asking God to direct us in our lives. How we serve our coworkers, how we do our jobs, how we live our lives is unique to each of us. There are certain things that we need to avoid or that we need to do. For instance, we need to be honest people because we trust God. We're told not to lie. All the basics, the 10 commandments and those types of things we know to do those. Standing firm in one spirit means that we remain focused on the person that we're taking direction from, which is God. We want to follow God with our whole heart and with our whole lives. And that's our goal. Our job is not to do the same thing as everyone else. Our job is to listen to the Holy Spirit and do what he says. Today. I am grateful that you are a Christ follower. I'm grateful that you follow Jesus. Your ministry to our world matters. Thank you for being a marketplace minister and thank you for standing firm in one spirit. Let's make our goal today to listen to God and do what he says. Ask him, "Jesus, what would you have me do in the lives of the people that I interact with today? As you direct me, help me act, help me do what you call me to do." We have plenty to do right there and working on ourselves and doing what Jesus would have us do. Let's abide in him and listen to him today. Thanks again for being a marketplace minister. And thanks for sharing this podcast. Share this podcast with one friend. I'm grateful for you listening. Thanks very much.  

I'm visiting my grandma and she's totally focused on a piece of paper. Naturally, I ask her what she's looking at.  She tells me they're letters from my grandfather to her and her to my grandfather during wartime. Some are torn, some are yellowed from age, some are typed and some handwritten. I notice there's a suitcase next to her filled with hundreds of these aged letters. I'm curious, so I ask if I can read one. “Oh no no no,” she quickly responds. “A few of these are a little too risqué for you.”  She promises that these letters will be mine one day…  when she's gone. I'll never forget that conversation with her that afternoon. My grandparent's love story during wartime, the legacy of that love, and the way they saw the world are encapsulated and preserved in those letters forever. My guest today on the Storytelling School Podcast knows and appreciates the power of the written word.

What does it mean to live worthy of the gospel? I'm confident I've asked that question before, because that's so key to us here at Follower of One. Hi, I'm Mike Henry Sr. founder of Follower of One. Thanks for joining me again today on our podcast. In my quiet time today, I read Philippians 1:27 and today I'd like to read that from the Christian Standard Bible. "Just one thing, as citizens of heaven, live your life worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then whether I come and see you or am absent, I will hear about you that you are standing firm in one spirit, in one accord, contending together for the faith of the gospel." Again, that's Philippians 1:27 in the Christian Standard Bible. This passage says a lot of things, but the key that I want to focus on today is this phrase, "live your life worthy of the gospel of Christ." What does it mean to live life for the, of the gospel? For so many years we've been told, and the message has been that if we believe on the Lord, Jesus Christ, we will be saved. This is in scripture. This is a key principle of what we teach as followers of Jesus, what the church has taught and everything else. It's very important that we believe in Jesus, but it's also very important how we act. There's no way you can conduct yourself in a manner worthy of the gospel, which is what the New American Standard says, or live a life worthy of the gospel without acting. We can't simply believe. Our actions are what show other people that we follow. Jesus, our beliefs don't help anyone else see Jesus. Only our actions do. When we live a life worthy of the gospel, we become visible to the world and we come up with five daily activities that we talk about and Follower of One that are designed to help us live that life in our workplace. If you search the internet today, you'll see that Christians as a group, aren't really all that different from the rest of the world. I think part of this is because of the way Christians are described. Many people speak like they're Christians and act like they're Christians. And maybe even think they're Christians because they believe in Jesus, but they never do anything. They never follow him. Erwin McManus one time said how bad it is that so many of us claim to follow Jesus without ever actually following Jesus. We want to be people who follow Jesus, and that means that our actions must be different. Those statistics that you'll find on the internet say that at the same rates, as most of the rest of the world, People who claim to be Christians participate in sex outside of marriage, or they take part in other vices that you will see. We lie and cheat and steal and show up late and speed and do a bunch of other things because we can, we know that we're free. I'm guilty of this as well. One of those measures is about using profanity. And as I've told you before, my self-talk is very profane. I don't often speak the words, but I think them, and so what's going on inside my mind needs to be transformed by the gospel. I want to live my life worthy of the gospel and today, and I think we'll talk about this for another day or two, today I want to challenge us to ask God and get him to show us how a life worthy of the gospel changes our behavior today. What do we do differently today because we decided we want to live a life worthy of the gospel. I think we'll find the answer to this question when we get it from the holy spirit, it won't look like many of the things that we've traditionally thought. We won't be thinking that we needed to go to church more or tithe more. I believe that God will call us to serve others more. Let's talk about this in the next episode too. Thank you for being a marketplace minister. Thank you for considering what it means to walk worthy of the gospel. Let's live a life worthy of the gospel of Christ every day. Often that begins by punching in and asking him, okay, Jesus, here I am. What would you have me do today? Ask the holy spirit how you need to change your life today and make some notes and start making some changes. And we'll talk a little bit more about this passage tomorrow. Thanks very much.  

Who is Worthy to Open the Scroll? The Third Sunday of Easter May 1, 2022 Father Kenny Benge, Interim Rector Church of the Redeemer, Nashville www.Redeemer-Nashville.net

Once upon a time, I took an aptitude test and failed. Honestly. I didn't even know it was possible to “fail” an aptitude test. Apparently, though, when the results are inconclusive, that's what it's considered. The goal was to pinpoint my strongest aptitudes and marry them with a career that matched my desire + skill set to pursue it. Instead, it made me feel like something was wrong with me. My results basically said, “there is no box to stick you in”. At the time, I was fresh out of college and looking for a suitable career, so image how defeating it was to hear they couldn't even determine a good job fit for me! Through the years, though, I have thought about that failed test and I can't help but smile. In it was a lesson and a reminder. I wasn't made to fit into a box. And neither were you! Sometimes we can get so hung up on fitting in that we forget God never made us to. We were never meant for that. The moment you were conceived, God breathed a unique identity and specific calling into your spirit. He took precious care to form you in your mother's womb with purpose and beauty. Incomparable to anyone else. If I had let myself be discouraged all those years ago, I would have listened to the world and settled for the title “failure”. Thankfully, I already knew that a test couldn't tell me who I was or what I was qualified for. Only God did that. He still does. Now, let's take it a step further and think about who, in the Bible, may have felt this way. Who felt like they didn't fit into a box? Who felt like a failure? Although we could delve into a number of characters that God used throughout the Good Book, my first thought goes to Moses. Most of you are likely familiar with the story of the baby in the basket. The boy who was taken in by the daughter of Pharaoh, and later led God's people out of Egypt to the Promised Land. But how often have you really put yourself in those shoes, (or, ahem…Sandles)? Today, I'll read straight from scripture here so I don't miss any high points. Beginning with Exodus 1: 8-22 MSG- …. After listening to his story, this is what we can conclude…Moses was an outcast, a murderer, and a man with a burden of feeling like he didn't belong. He was sometimes afraid and even full of doubt. Moses was just a man. And God chose him. Despite his weaknesses and likely because of them. God chose him. Moses goes on to do tremendous things on behalf of God and His people. He goes on to perform signs and miracles, meet with God on the mountaintop, and deliver the 10 commandments to the nation of Israel. He goes down as a founding father of the Jewish people. Flawed? Sure. But also chosen and called. This man allowed God to use him as a leader for God's glory and a rescuer of God's children. If you find yourself in a complicated and unexpected season, I urge you to take a breath and get excited because chances are, these are the EXACT areas, the very seasons, God is using to refine you and your story for His purposes. Today, I want to remind you. You were called to be different and set apart. So the next time you're tempted to believe what culture or people tell you about you, ask yourself if it lines up with what God has already told you about who you are. You are His child. Worthy and unconditionally loved. And that, is the only truth worth living by.
