The God Who Fills {Stephanie Rousselle- Genesis 1}
September 21, 2022 11:00 - 48 minutes - 33 MBDo you ever think of God as stingy? Do you focus on the things that He hasn't given you? The opening scene of Genesis shows us a different view of God. As we see the waters teaming with life and the birds filling the sky and plants popping up everywhere from the ground, we see that God is a generous God and fills the world with ample abundance. Joining me for a short segment is Kelly Needham (who was with us last time). Kelly is an author, Bible teacher and new podcast host! Please check ou...

Eden's Grand Potential, The Colossal Fall, and Our Solid Hope {Nancy Guthrie}
September 07, 2022 11:00 - 38 minutes - 22.7 MBKnowing your origin story matters. Think about if you walk into a movie half way through, or open a book in the middle.

It's like being slightly sad at the funeral of someone you never met, but secretly wishing the funeral would be over so you can get back to whatever you wanted to do with your day.

August 31, 2022 11:00 - 10 minutes - 7.17 MBWhy do the weeds grow and the flowers die? Why is there cancer, and divorce, and death? And why, even when my life is so full, do I feel so empty?

But then they ate the forbidden fruit and were driven from the Garden into the wilderness. This story helps to make sense of the curses and conse...

July 27, 2022 11:00 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MBWhat would you do, if God asked you to give Him everything? What if you were already reeling with struggle and loss, and He asked you to sacrificially give what little you have, to Him? That's exactly what we're going to see in this story about the Widow of Zarephath from I Kings 17. Today's episode is part of my Summer Standout series.

April 06, 2022 10:00 - 46 minutes - 32.3 MBWhen somebody is being arrested, who's the person with the power? Who seems to be in control? Ordinarily, you'd think it was the guy putting the handcuffs on, right? Not the one with his hands behind his back.
