Jen- Tired? Surrender

October 21, 2022 13:00 - 47 minutes - 43.8 MB

A little bit about Jen Kosuda: While I have been writing my entire life, I started to work on this four-part series, The Art of a Messy House, eight years ago. Then, after a time of fasting in 2019, I was prompted to let go of the past and “become who I needed when I was younger.” This turned my childhood wishes into my work, and I started publishing. In addition to this, being a middle school English Language Arts teacher adds experience to not only my writing but also my passion for my pu...

Inside today's podcast, I have with me, Clarissa Moll.  I have just started reading The Art of Dying, written by your husband, (Rob Moll), and I find the concept of "living fully into the life to come" very intriguing. I initially thought you wrote it after the loss of your husband but then noticed he was the author. So I was curious, were you both writers, or did you pick it up after he passed? (Do you hold the same belief as him that dying well is a part of living well?) You've written a...

Do You Place Your Value Only in "Work"?

May 03, 2022 19:53 - 10 minutes - 9.48 MB

God has not called me only to work for His kingdom., but to peace, rest, refreshment, and delight in Him. A somewhat new realization on my journey. I always think that only my work counts in the eyes of God. Do you feel like that too? Ephesians 2:10 tells us, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” So in my mind, that means getting to work so that I can honor God and fulfill my purpose!

Courtnaye and I love reading the Bible, not because there is something extra special about us, but because we've experienced the transforming power of God's written word! Some have claimed that reading the Bible comes easier to me than it does to them, but in truth, it has nothing to do with me! It's not about what I'm good at or what you're good at its about this: Who do you love, who do you want to hear from, how do you want to live, who do you want to love?

October 21, 2021 20:44 - 41 minutes - 38.7 MB

“Joseph has become one of my favorite characters of the Bible and not until fairly recently. Hopefully, you have been able to feel my excitement for God’s word throughout this book so far; the story of Joseph convinces me that the plans of God are indeed good and inspire me to stand firm in the Lord.

Speak Life & Win!

October 15, 2021 13:00 - 44 minutes - 41.1 MB

Wilma Hollis and I had a wonderful conversation about our lives with God. My favorite part was when she compared living and a child of God requires that we speak a different language to overcome adversity! She said what I've felt for so long. Not in just speaking differently but living differently. I feel like she does. So many take Salvation, but that's it! "...When we're believers, and we're excited, but we only take salvation. We don't realize that we're supposed to change our language to...

October 07, 2021 20:37 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MB

We've read a lot about Jacob, but as we wrap up his story I was reminded once again that we don't have to be perfect to be used by Him.  Jacob is improving and growing in the ways of the Lord, and that's what's important. Personally, I was disappointed that after all these years he was still showing favoritism to Rachel; It frustrated me. But Jacob doesn't need to meet my expectations. He is complete in the Lord!

You're Already Seen

September 14, 2021 20:13 - 22 minutes - 20.7 MB

This might just be my favorite chapter in The Relevant Old Testament!! I love the message of Saul and David's story. Are you a Saul and David? Tune into chapter 7 (pt. 2) in its audio version!! Saul was not a bad guy, just like there are so many of us who aren't "bad people," but our relationship with Jesus is very much at a surface level. We might get heavily into our religion for a while, into our church, into outreach programs, etc., and those things are great, but if we aren't digging ...

He left his home after deceiving his brother Esau (with the help of his mother Rebekah) and has been staying with Laban (her brother) in the land of Paddan-aram.

Ep. 2 Chapter 1- Adam and Eve

August 14, 2021 20:02 - 35 minutes - 33.1 MB

Chapter 1 of The Relevant Old Testament. Where better to start this journey than at the beginning. Before there were Bible characters, there was the creation story. It wasn't until much later in my life that I learned how significant this story is and how it draws me into the presence of God's love. I know that if you take a deep breath and pray for God to focus your eyes on this text He will meet you. Please take your time as you write down your answers. The new free audio version is avai...

Is Faith Just a Five Letter Word?

August 06, 2021 13:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MB

Today's conversation is AMAZING!  We talk about the Holy Spirit and all that He means in our lives.  The core message that shone through was about faith and how it requires action. Faith without action is just a five letter word. James was telling us this in chapter 2:17. "Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself." I used to hold the mindset that unless I was doing the works, I wasn't saved.  This is good news because we don't have to worry about the work we're supposed...
