Bible Said What

Why does God make promises with His people? More importantly, are His promises trustworthy? Why can I truly, deeply rely on God's strength when I am weak?Moses felt all of these questions, and chose to step into obedience through apprehension. God calls us to big things, but never leaves our side. This episode highlights how God is a promise maker, and because of His nature, a promise keeper. Because God always keeps His promises, we can confidently obey His commands.

Comfort zones can be good, but they can also hold us back. When we prioritize our comfort over God's commands, our disobedience prevents us from fully participating in covenant with Him. In this episode, I discuss difficult obedience with my good friend Keilee Webb. We take a look at Abrahams life and God's faithfulness to define what it means to be comfortably uncomfortable.

One can can still idolize relationships while having a significant other, as well as without. This episode debriefs how we can idolize relationships during singleness, dating, and even breakups. Originally, this Q/A was a precursor to a similar episode, but as I recorded the two became one. I had so much fun filming this episode and answering all your questions about Christian dating such as: "Will God really give me a boyfriend when I least expect it?""How do I know if someone is equally yoked with me?""How do I handle relationship anxiety Biblically?""How do I prevent marriage from becoming an idol when surrounded by married couples?""How do I draw closer to God and keep my head up after rejection?"

How can we be present during difficult phases of life? It is so tempting to desire a "fast-forward" button that lands in a more comfortable place. Here's the thing: Christians aren't called to be comfortable, we are called to pursue conformity into Christ's image and seek the Lord's goodness in every circumstance. In this episode, we dig into Philippians 3 and Jeremiah 29 to see how God taught His people to remain present during difficult times. (Also I debriefed my first semester of seminary, but that's not quite as important 😂)

Worldly control and Biblical control are two different things. The world tells us that control is having autonomy and authority, but interferes with relationships and wellbeing. Scripture highlights that control is living in the discipline and temperance from the Holy Spirit. Join me and my friend Stefany Spencer as we discuss what it truly means to have control in our lives!

Kicking off our new series, I am joined by Amy Rozo to discuss the idol of approval! People pleasing is a tool the enemy uses to drain us slowly and harm our relationships. Amy gives amazing advice and scriptural basis against seeking validation from man, and I hope this episode encourages you to find freedom from this sneaky trap!

HAPPY SEASON FOUR!! 🎉 It has been two years since the beginning of the podcast, and SO MUCH has happened since. This episode is a little catch-up on how the Lord has worked in my life and calling throughout college. Also, we will look at how scripture defines idolatry, and preview the next few week's episodes!

In a generation full of voices, it can be difficult to discern which are good and true. On this episode, I am joined by Rachael Adeline to discuss wisdom, and how to spot it in those around us. We talk about the differences in wise, foolish, and evil people and how to surround yourself with encouragement.

The city of Ephesus was the hub for pagan worship, including to the fertility goddess Artemis. In a similar way, our modern culture continues to idolize and distort God's design for sex and marriage. On this episode, we wrap up our mini-series on Ephesians by discussing covenant relationship and guarding guarding our hearts against the enemy. You don't want to miss this one!

Where is "the line" between dating someone and just being friends? In a generation with unpredictable dating culture, the boundaries between friendship and romance can blur, causing confusing and heartache. On this episode, I am joined by one of my oldest guy-friends to discuss boundaries within mixed-gender friendships. We talk about everything from the heart of dating to the purpose of friendship, and how we can steward the hearts of those within the church!
