Faith is a Verb

The heart is the control center of a person, and it is always deceitful...without YHWH Like we said in this weeks episode, the concept here is simple. The heart will always lead us the wrong way- but YHWH will always lead us to His truth. Application of this is where we get tripped up- it requires incredible patience and fortitude to stop and pray before making any decision. Especially in those hi...

Sometimes, the Delay is Deliverance. We need to be repeating this phrase daily. Every time you feel as if YHWH isn't paying attention- or not moving quick enough- or maybe even He just doesn't care about the situation you are praying over....get into the habit of looking at every area of your life how YHWH does. What is He delivering me from? Is this roadblock actually His mercy? Is He cal...

Faith is divinely inspired by the spirit through the word of YHWH...So it's time to get in it. As you heard in this weeks episode, this topic came about in such a simple- small as a mustard seed- kind of way. And then it grew deep rooted in all of our hearts. Because what YHWH does best is create. We drop a seed- and He tends it like only He can. If you are like the three of us, you have spent you...

We've all heard this verse more times than we can count. In this weeks episode we took one of the most recognized Psalms and looked at it through a few different lenses. Isn't that what we all do with scripure- look at it through our own lens? We must be careful in doing so, as we don't want to lose the most important lens- YHWHs. While looking at Psalm 23, we applied the ancient Hebre...

Temptation is not sin in itself, but yeilding to it is. We are all grownups here- people who are actively seeking out how to live life the way YHWH has asked us to...so I am going to be blunt here, just as we were in the episode itself. You have been given a job. Read His scripture, understand His word, apply it to your life. So thaty is exactly how we defeat our flesh. That is exactly how we resi...

Living out YHWH's Truth- boldly- might be the most important thing we can do on this Earth. Being an introvert has a way of making this life mighty difficult for so many of us- the anxiety, the loneliness, the overwhelm, the fear, etc etc etc But our Elohim is bigger than that, right?! We read many verses in this weeks episode that speak on the importance of walking out our faith in a way that...

In order to find the Narrow Gate- we must shed the weight of this world. This is quite often a difficult topic to discuss, but that just means we need to do it more often. We must get comfortable with hard conversations- mainly with ourself- that will convict us and lead us to repentance. Many will find the path to distruction- but very few will find the path to everlasting life in the Kingdom. VE...

Who likes drinking lukewarm water? We spoke this week about The Church of Laodecia- and how we are so very similar to their mindset today. Or that was atleast part of the understanding we discovered. No matter where your study this week took you, I am certain we can all come away with the same main theme: YHWH wants our WHOLE heart, not half-cocked attempts- or boxes checked. So how will you move...

Repentance. Trust. Action. When we come before YHWH in prayer—whether in repentance, in waiting, or in trust—we are acknowledging that  He is in control.  True prayer isn’t just about asking; it’s about humbling ourselves, surrendering to His will, and being willing to  walk in obedience. When we pray for forgiveness,  are we truly repenting, or just saying the words?  When we ask for an answer, ...

When we pray- we are asking The Most High to entrust us with greater responsibility to glorify Him. Read that again...let it sink in. When we pray to YHWH, whether it be for healing, help with a situation, asking for conviction to deny our flesh, blessing a meal, or anything in between- we are asking Him to give us something that we can in turn use to glorify Him. When He heals you of that illness...

You shall  keep  the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.-Exodus 31:14 Did you know that the word we have translated into English to be keep - more accurately means to guard. We are commanded to GUARD His Sabbath day. To protect it. To fight for it. To stop anything from &...

We are busy working on our character when we employ spiritual practices. Regardless of where you were before- or even where you will be in the future- YHWH is always faithful, always present, and always waiting for you to open the door to let Him in. So do not be discouraged if you have "fallen off" with your spiritual practices, or maybe you have never even really done any with consistency, all y...

We were never promised an easy life- && this refining process is HARD We want to first and foremost, take a moment to apologize to each one of you who listen to our meager attempts to bring Glory to the Father. We disappeared without a word. You deserved more than that. We know that bucket of grace you all have for us has been there the whole time, but still we are very sorry to have let o...

"Haggai may be only 2 chapters- but man it packs a wallop" We learned this week just how easy it is to allow ourselves to be derailed from the task at hand. We got to witness the Israelites come home with a purpose, start that important work for YHWH, then fall to their own fleshly desires. We can't look too harshly at them though, can we? Aren't we all doing the exact same thing...

Jonah is a perfect example of how we struggle not to let our fear rule us, the importance of trusting YHWHs story, and the value of repentance. For such a small section of scripture, We learned this week just how powerful the story of Jonah can be. I then proceeded into the following weekend being Day of Atonement- which found me learning from Jonah all over again. I also got the joy and beauty of...

"Rebecca, Naomi, && Mary" While the mothers discussed this week have very well known names- they certainly felt their identity was tied up in their job as a mother. In their relationships. In the outcomes of their children's lives. Don't we all? It is part of the package-to be so immersed in the assignment we have been given that we lose a sense of who were are outside of...

Life can throw us off course at times, and when that happens we just need rest. Tracee & Amy are taking the week off, so you get the very professional podcaster that I am to read a segment of the book, “Jesus, A scandalously devoted, conspicuously Uncool, super-transparent homage to who our Savior is and how much He loves us devotional” Hope you enjoy my incredible reading skills and my daught...

"Samson's Mother, Moshe's Mother, && Samuel's Mother" We are very excited to be starting this new series of studies! Looking forward to learning with all of you from the examples we have been given in scripture on how to fulfill this role that YHWH designed just for us: Motherhood. Whether you are feelings like an unnamed woman in your life currently ( like we have be...

"A woman who fears YHWH is to be praised." Remember in the last episode- we spoke about what it means to Fear YHWH? Well todays episode boils down to the very same idea. As does most of Scripture. When we see a common theme such as this repeating itself over and over in His word- we better start paying attention! Maybe you have nailed being that Proverbs 31 woman, maybe you get it someti...

"Yirat Adonai" is a Hebraic term that cannot be properly translated into "Fear the Lord"- it has much more meaning. We hope that this episode spoke to you on a soul level. In the way that planning a tree into the earth does. Taking root, growing taller, and then producing fruit. Fearing our Elohim (God) has never been as archaic and basic as being fearful of Him. The fear of th...

The action of having self-control allows all of the Fruits of the Spirit to bloom in our character. In true FIAV fashion, this weeks episode was H A R D to get done. We were all tested thoroughly in our ability to have self-control. We all stumbled. We all slipped up. We all fell. We all got back up. That is always going to happen in this fallen world. So do not be discouraged. Do not give up. DO...

Someone who has grown the fruit of gentleness is of GREAT value to Elohim! Congratulations to Natasha for winning our SparrowsxWildflowers giveaway! We hope you are over the moon excited to go purchase yourself a custom bible or journal with your $50 off! This weeks episode seemed so hard to get out into the world- from stumbling over words, to distractions during our study/recording time- the ene...

Faithfulness is a quality YHWH will never miss, and we should forever chase. In this weeks episode, we unpack a LOT. We hope it was not overwhelming for you- incase it was...here is the main point... He wants us to choose Him. He wants us to follow Him. He wants us to receive His guidance and provision. He wants us to be justified, then move to sanctification, so that we may be glorified at the en...

Goodness an internal quality that we develop through our relationship with YHWH! Goodness is a ministering love. It is a gentle rebuke, a push for repentance, a guide to get us back on His path. Remember that it is narrow and FEW will find it. I think I can speak for anyone listening to this weeks episode, that we all desperately want to be included in the few who not only find His narrow path, bu...

Showing kindness to another is never JUST showing them kindness, it is ALWAYS also showing YHWH kindness. It is incredibly easy to be kind to a friend who is kind to you, right? No one really struggles with that. When everything is sunshine and rainbows we do not struggle to offer a kind word or gesture to those we love. But being called to build your character in the way of kindness doe not just...
