With everything that's been going on the last few years, we wanted to share some good news and good stories. So this episode kicks off this series of telling inspiring stories from women. You're go...

Friends, we have made it to episode 9 in the Trusting God Series! Can you believe it? I am emotional as I think about wrapping up our study on the life of Abraham. I am sure we will revisit this material and the life of Abraham time and time again. It is rich with the truth!   Today we are at a passage of Scripture that is always associated with Abraham. In Genesis 22, Abraham is asked to sacrific...

This week we are covering Genesis 18, 20, & 21 (Sorry for stating the wrong chapter in the podcast recording)   Welcome to episode eight of Abraham’s journey! Friends, things about to get interesting for  Abraham and Sarah. A phrase that is meaningful in the Old Testament is Little by Little . This phrase describes how God delivered the Promised Land to the Nation of Israel. It was not big. It...

Welcome to episode seven in our journey through the life of Abraham! We are in Genesis 17. This week we will continue to see how God never forgets His promise. God is a promise maker and a promise keeper! Friend, we have a daily opportunity to be “all in” with God. What does “all-in” look like? God’s encounter with Abram in Genesis 17 provides a perfect example! Being “all in” leads to a life mark...

I am noticing something about Abram’s journey that is helping me to process my journey. Abram had ups and downs. He had twists and turns. There were moments of clarity and deep faith. There were also moments of deep struggle and real doubt.   Can I be honest with you? (You know I always am!) There are days when my focus is clear. I have a clear vision of what God is doing in my life, and I am taki...

Abram was plugging along with life and trusting God for a child. This child would lead to a nation that would lead to the Messiah. Waiting is hard! Honestly, it stinks. Our faith is tested in the waiting process as well as our desires. What do we really want out of life?   I am sure Abram had highs and lows, just like us. He probably wondered if he blew it and disqualified himself. He probably won...

Welcome to episode 4 on Trusting God! Each week I am learning more and more about Abram, Lot, God, and myself. Our world faces many of the same circumstances that Abram and Lot faced. We live in an unpredictable time, yet God is calling us to live by faith.   Our time on earth as believers in Jesus Christ falls into the following categories: Salvation: Coming to faith in Christ. Sanctification: Gr...

Welcome to episode 3 in our Trusting God Series! We are well on our way in the study of Abraham. We have seen God-sized moments in Abram’s life, and we have seen him blow it. (I know all of us can relate to both!)   I want to pick up on a thought we introduced last week. During hard times, we will go the route of faith or fear . The route of trusting God or trusting Self .   This is what each path...

Welcome to the second episode in our trusting God series on the life of Abraham! As we walk through Abraham’s life, we will see what it looks like to trust God. We will also see what it looks like to blow it. (I know all of us can relate to both possibilities!)   Open your Bible to Genesis 12:10-20. In today’s passage, we find Abram in a pinch. Let that truth sink in! Abram faced trouble and hards...

Hey sweet friend, I am excited to bring a nine-week study on the life of Abraham to you. This study was originally shared in my Girl on the Go with Andrea Lennon private facebook group. As we look at the life of Abraham, we can learn how to trust God.   Let’s start by talking about trusting God. Anyone else struggle with trusting God? I struggle with trusting God and have claimed the word “faith!”...
