Overflow

We can spend so much energy trying to figure out the “right” path that we forget the God who is already walking with us. The Father has made His will clear: He wants His children to become more like Jesus. And He doesn’t ask us to accomplish that through our own effort or perfect decision-making. We live in the Overflow by responding to the love of the Father, following the example of Jesus, and l...

Sometimes the hardest part of processing what we feel is actually talking about it . In this episode, Jim and Kate continue their eight-step journey into healthy emotional processing by exploring what it means to verbalize our feelings. They discuss why we need safe people, what makes someone trustworthy, why listening often matters more than offering solutions, and how Jesus gives us a model for...

The Thessalonians were thriving in their faith—but they were still growing. In 1 Thessalonians 3:6–13, Paul shows us that spiritual growth doesn’t come from simply trying harder. The Father goes first, working within us to increase our love, strengthen our hearts, and transform our lives.  🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Devos and Conversations!   📬 Want your inbox Overflo...

What’s on your emotional spice rack? Anger? Fear? Joy? Disappointment? Maybe your rack has four spices. Maybe everything tastes like Tabasco. Maybe everything tastes like black licorice. Or maybe the whole thing is empty. In this episode, Jim and Kate tackle the third step of healthy emotional processing: identifying your feelings. Looking at Jesus in Gethsemane, they explore why naming an emotion...

Spiritual warfare can be an uncomfortable subject, but Paul treats it as a normal reality of following Jesus. In 1 Thessalonians 2–3, he identifies Satan as the force behind opposition to his ministry and worries that the enemy might interfere with the spiritual growth of the Thessalonians. That doesn't mean every struggle is demonic, but Scripture calls us to consider spiritual opposition al...

What if the problem isn’t that you feel too much, but that you don’t let yourself feel at all? In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus gives us a radically different model for emotional health. He doesn’t stuff his grief, minimize his distress, or pretend he’s fine. He allows himself to feel deeply and fully, even as he remains surrendered to the Father. Jim and Kate talk about the ways we learn unheal...

What does the evidence of genuine faith actually look like? In 1 Thessalonians 2, Paul points to a church whose faith wasn’t merely something they claimed. It was visible in the way they loved one another, received God’s Word, and remained steadfast in the face of suffering. Their lives had become evidence that the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was doing something real in them.  🔔 Subs...

Where did you learn how to handle your emotions? For most of us, the answer is not Jesus. We learned from our families, our culture, our experiences, and sometimes from people who never learned healthy emotional processing themselves. In the first episode of "8 Steps to Healthy Emotional Processing", Jim and Kate explore what it means to choose Jesus as our emotional teacher. Looking at...

What if the real question isn’t simply, “What is God doing through me?” but , “What is God doing in me?” In 1 Thessalonians 2:1–8, Paul gives us a glimpse into the heart behind his ministry. His boldness came from God, his motives were shaped by a desire to please God, and his ministry was fueled by genuine love for people. In this episode, we explore how God’s work in our hearts ultimately shapes...

What if you could see what God is doing in the people around you? What if you could recognize the fingerprints of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in your own community and your own story? That is where Paul begins his letter to the Thessalonians. Their faith, love, and hope had become visible evidence of God’s work, and their lives were beginning to impact everyone around them. As we launch this...

What does your story have to do with the Kingdom of God? More than you might think. The passions, wounds, relationships, and ordinary moments that have shaped you may be exactly what the Father intends to use through you. Today, G. House joins us to talk about what happens when you keep saying yes to the Holy Spirit—and why you don't always have to climb a mountain to hear Him speak. 🔗 The Q...

What if you prayed something as audacious as, “God, what good does it do You if I’m miserable?” David does exactly that in Psalm 30. But beneath the audacity is a profound truth about God's glory, our suffering, and the kind of life our Father actually wants for His children. What if sometimes the most faithful thing we can do is ask God to deliver us—not just for our sake, but for His? 🔔 Su...

When someone wrongs you, anger can become consuming. Psalm 37 shows us a different way—not ignoring injustice, but refusing to let it take over our hearts. We’ll look at what David means when he says to “fret not,” “commit your way to the LORD,” and “be still,” and what those commands look like when life feels deeply unfair.  🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our Devos and Conver...

Are we really making disciples—or have we simply become better at talking about discipleship? Bobby Harrington joins us to dive into the difference between a church that runs discipleship programs and a church that actually cultivates a culture of disciple making. We talk about the role of love, obedience, relationships, and mission—and why the goal isn't simply to make better churchgoers, bu...

Overflow isn't the absence of burdens. It's knowing where to take them. Psalm 55 invites us to trade striving for trust, exchanging anxious self-reliance for the sustaining strength of our faithful Father. In this episode, we reflect on why we carry burdens we were never meant to bear and how a life of continual surrender becomes a life marked by peace instead of pressure. 🔔 Subscribe n...

We live in a world obsessed with image, but God is after something deeper: integrity. Psalm 101 asks what happens when we stop managing appearances and start letting the character of our Father reshape who we actually are. David has some strong words for people who lack integrity, but before we wield them against the world, we have to let them search our own hearts. Because integrity begins with b...

The world is constantly telling us what abundant life should look like. Bigger. Faster. Richer. But Psalm 16 and John 10 point us in a radically different direction. In this episode, we examine how the world's promises quietly shape our desires and why lasting joy can only be found in the presence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  🔔 Subscribe now so you won't miss the rest of our De...

What’s your go-to verse?” Not just a favorite verse—but the one that anchors you when life feels hard, the one you keep returning to in every season. For me, that verse is found in Psalm 143:8–10 , a passage that has become a daily prayer and a steady place of grounding in both peace and crisis. In it, David cries out from a place of exhaustion and desperation, yet his first request is not for del...
