My heart has been aching for you during this time. It’s so hard, and I can understand feeling angry as well as so sad. The grief can overwhelm you at times and you feel swallowed up by it. I relate. I relate to the anger and the sadness and the weight of grief as it lays on you and clouds your days. I relate to the questions and heaviness.
I relate to the constant “Am I evers” that roll over my mind again and again…
How to Get Into the Word
You want to be in the Word – but how? You head to your Bible…then what? You open to a book and feel a little lost…what next?
Reading the Bible and making the most of your time in the Word is a beautiful goal. This podcast is all about letting the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and returning the favor in a sense by dwelling in the Word – not “doing” Bible study, not simply reading – but really moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It’s being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.
I’m excited to teach through the Word in this new series “Dwelling in the Word.” Each episode will focus on how to read the Bible and even how not to read the Bible.
Ten minutes a day. Three times a week. A simple, Scripture-based podcast series to encourage and strengthen you.
Women Can
Women can, but exactly what they can do is the question. Can women teach in the church? Preach? What are women’s roles in Christian ministry? Should women have the same roles as men? This is the beginning of a new blog series as I share my own journey from complementarian to egalitarian while remaining orthodox and evangelical in my theology. It’s an important topic. It’s a personal topic. I encourage you to think and engage and maybe even join me in this journey.
You Might Have Missed the Point about “Feeding the Five Thousand”
Don’t we all just want to know that in spite of what we are dealing with, in spite of the little we feel we have to offer, how inadequate we feel – it’s inspiring to know that God can use us. – but like the disciples laying out their points to Jesus about the big crowd and small resources – also all true – they were missing the actual point.
Loved. Missed. Prayed for.
A year from now, you will never, ever say, “I wish I hadn’t gone back to church.”
Let this be the beginning of a new year when you are back and right and satisfied again fully in His love for you…and sharing that love with His family! We have missed that time with you! You will be welcomed and you will definitely welcome the love, the hugs, the community, and fellowship of the body of Christ into your regular life – no more saving it for “special occasions.” No more excuses. No more waiting until life settles down and you get caught up on laundry, work, weeds, bills…just go.
You are someone’s LMP- you are definitely my LMP…loved, missed, and prayed for. I hope to see you Sunday.
