Faith to Witness 99

This is Faith to Witness 99 Motivating us to leave the 99 and go find the one. Ezekiel 34:11-1911 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. 13 I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. 14 I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 16 I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice. It is so illuminating to see our Heavenly Father, the Divine Father as the Shepherd, first. The entire Old Testament is the story of God with his people. Of course His nature would bring shepherding. His people were shepherds. Their days were filled with rods, staff, wandering and all the levels of idolatrous lost. King David was a shepherd. This God, our God laid down a covenant of peace with his sheep. Jesus came to fulfill his Father’s covenant.

This is Faith to Witness 99 Motivating us to leave the 99 and go find the one. I keep thinking about the mustard seed. And the parable Jesus shared with us. I am not sure why. But I know it comes from understanding that we all have soil to till. We all have conversations running through our days, and some that may feel like they went wrong, are going wrong now, but are actually the soil that will root a mustard seed, planted by the Son of Man. I want to have more clarity about what role my witness has in planting a mustard seed. What happens when a mustard seed is planted in a person’s conscience? In a person’s heart? Stay with us for the conversation. e213Matthew 17:20 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Stay with us for the conversation. e213E213 How to Prepare the Heart-Soil for A Mustard SeedListen to the full episode on your platform here: pod.link/1648558274Read today’s show notes: Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/ Receive episode alerts | subscribe at kathrynbise.comConnect with Kathryn: [email protected] Need a church home, local or online? https://www.templecity.church#MustardSeed #ParableOfTheMustardSeed #KnowingGod #SpiritofGod #HolySpirit #RiskSharingMyGod #RiskofWitnessing #PersonalTestimony #SharingGod #PersonalNatureOfWitnessing #FindTheLostSheep #LeaveThe99 #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithToWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

This is Faith to Witness 99 Motivating us to leave the 99 and go find the one. Here are three affirmations that travel well from this week’s episode. 1. The Bible as the authoritative resource is not typically the way into a deeper conversation. This makes me nervous and feeling at a loss for words. When I claim God as the authority based on a book that someone has no connection to, for some people, there is no connection. 2. A person’s perspective on his personal life is where my witness sits to listen.There may be no mention of God, Jesus, a higher being, or some connection to the creation. My witness breathes through the listening.3. My conviction is where my testimony starts.My personal conviction is being called out here, to stand spiritually tall and testify in front of someone whose perception of God may not be an active agent in their daily life. 1 Corinthians 2:1414 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.. Stay with us for the conversation. e212E212 The Knowing — The Spirit of Sharing My God (part 3 of 3)Listen to the full episode on your platform here: pod.link/1648558274Read today’s show notes: Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/ Receive episode alerts | subscribe at kathrynbise.comConnect with Kathryn: [email protected] Need a church home, local or online? https://www.templecity.church#KnowingGod #SpiritofGod #HolySpirit #RiskSharingMyGod #RiskofWitnessing #PersonalTestimony #SharingGod #PersonalNatureOfWitnessing #FindTheLostSheep #LeaveThe99 #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithToWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

This is Faith to Witness 99 Motivating us to leave the 99 and go find the one. Here’s a takeaway that travels well from this week’s episode. How someone responds is not a reflection of my witness. My witness is not a debate of perception vs perception. Jesus has already won the argument. There are uncomfortable moments and potential outcomes in any conversation: Not being able to scripturally feed someone who has opened up with spiritual hungerHaving the same conversation over and over againNot knowing the answer Blowing the moment, what you perceive as the only chance to connect Feeling a relationship go lukewarm, and begin to slip awayFeeling a relationship turn colderLosing a relationship completelySometimes we abandon spiritual truth in exchange for immediate human camaraderie in this life. We compromise his image and live as if Psalm 139 is just so long ago.We turn away from that which endures every conversation, every relationship.  Yet our beloved John, the apostle tells us:1 John 2:17The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever. Stay with us for the conversation. e211E211 The Knowing — The Risk of Sharing My God (part 2 of 3)Listen to the full episode on your platform here: pod.link/1648558274Read today’s show notes: Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/ Receive episode alerts | subscribe at kathrynbise.comConnect with Kathryn: [email protected] Need a church home, local or online? https://www.templecity.church#RiskSharingMyGod #RiskofWitnessing #PersonalTestimony #SharingGod #PersonalNatureOfWitnessing #FindTheLostSheep #LeaveThe99 #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithToWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

This is Faith to Witness 99 Motivating us to leave the 99 and go find the one.Here’s a takeway that travels well from this week’s episode. Bearing my witness is deeply personal. It requires I share personal convictions that live privately, in the most sacred corner of my heart. Taking these convictions public compromises my privacy. Yet nothing is private to my divine God. I can go forward with his sovereign confidence, that he will protect what we have together in the space between those who may try to reduce him to something other than sovereign by their words.Jeremiah 32:17: "Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you."God puts you in conversation with someone to represent who he is by how he made you. Stay with us for the conversation. e210 E210 The Knowing — The Personal Nature of Sharing My God (part 1 of 3)Listen to the full episode on your platform here: pod.link/1648558274Read today’s show notes: Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/ Receive episode alerts | subscribe at kathrynbise.comConnect with Kathryn: [email protected] Need a church home? https://www.templecity.church#Psalm139 #PersonalTestimony #SharingGod #PersonalNatureOfWitnessing #FindTheLostSheep #LeaveThe99 #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithToWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

Suppose you need a little motivation to leave the 99 and go find the one.Here’s the Top 3 Take from this week’s episode. 01. You give them something to eatWe must see a crowd without the Shepherd. Compassion makes that possible. It triggers accountability as we stand with Jesus on whatever hillside our sheep are roaming.02. Freewill defines your offeringWhen we take into account what we have, free will defines our offering. Like Jesus, we lift up what we have to God in thanksgiving. Our offering, submitted to him, so we can feed his sheep. 03. Save what you learn God fills our spiritual basket with sustenance, foresight, wisdom to feed the next crowd gathering in our day, our life. Or that lone sheep that is wandering through the dusk… hungry. So, do this: save what you learn for the next time. Stay with us for the conversation. e208.

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 205  (Most Downloads All-Time... and counting)Re-release - When I Confess My Brokenness Daily (God draws me closer with His mercy)(originally published February 7 2024) When we confess, it is like saying “here” at roll call. It is our time to tell God when we did not choose Him, when we did not choose His Will, His way, when we tried to get out ahead of Him, when we tried to rule alongside Him, when we treated His people poorly, or when we gave our minds and hearts to something, anything, other than Him. When we name our sins of separation, God shows us mercy. Proverbs 28:13Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.#God’smercy #confessionstoGod #GardenofEden #IfellwithEve #myinheritanceinheaven #God’spropheticvoice #Godissovereign #God’sstory #Moses #God’sStory #forGodsoloved #thegoodandperfectgift #whattogiveforChristmas#theperfectgifttogive #theperfectfruittogive #thedivinegift #theperfectgift #whattogiveforChristmas #fruitoftheSpirit #Iamfound #christianpodcast #christseekers #christfollowers #hopewriterscommunity #truthtotablecommunity #faiththatrocks #mywitness99 #askGodforinsight #howtogrowmyfaith #buildingspiritualcharacter #growmyfaith #God’spresenceFind today’s show notes and links at https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/Listen here: Pod LinkInstagram (link in bio)Never miss an episode  | subscribe at kathrynbise.comConnect with Kathryn:  [email protected] to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com
