Be Still Be Free

In Chapter 9, once again he gives us the reasons why we should be invited by “wisdom,” but he also tells us why we should not accept an invitation by “folly.” That is just who God is. He is so for us that He wa...

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) It's part 2 of our discussion on Proverbs 8, and in this week’s #podcast, we wrap up our dissection of Wisdom's remaining "be" words -- eternal,  delightful, persistent. We go deep into discussion about how maybe we're holding onto things that are negotiable and not foundational truths...and how wi...

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) Instead of looking at Wisdom as something we look for and seek out, this week we examine how Wisdom is looking for us. She is out in the highways and hedges to show us herself in our own culture and our own day-to-day life. This week we get really practical, and spend a lot of time in dialogue about wisdom in our own perso...

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) Have you ever felt like you repeat yourself to your kids when trying to really make a point on an issue? Isn’t that what Solomon must have been feeling while writing Proverbs? There's no doubt that he wants his son to hear him and listen to his words. God must feel the same way. If we believe that the Word of God is i...

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) In Proverbs 3, Solomon gets excited (or "geeked up" as Sara would say) about sharing the rewards that come from living out wisdom in everyday life. It’s a back-and-forth volley of if/thens: IF you keep God’s teachings, THEN you’ll have long life and peace. The premises and promises continue throughout the entire...

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) "Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting the tomato in a fruit salad," the ever-wise Chris Goede is noted as saying. What is wisdom, though? It might feel like a word that has no context or is so abstract that we cannot wrap our minds around it. Yet it's a very distinct word chosen by...

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) Raising kids is no joke, #amiright? Being an intentional parent (in today's culture especially) is an exhausting undertaking, but one that can reap the greatest rewards if we are diligent and do not grow weary in doing good. (Although moments of weariness or even all-out breakdowns are allowed and even expected!) #han...

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) There are stigmas surrounding mental wellness in our Christian culture, but slowly, we're starting to see them crumble and fall. Where once no one would open up about times of depression or struggling with thoughts and emotions, we're recognizing this very real struggle for so many of us. In this week's epis...

And what a better time to talk about physical wellness -- when we should be celebrating with cake. :) We admit, when it comes to physical health, IT'S HARD.

Send us a text, and leave your number or email so we can get back to you :) Wellness. What does that word conjure up in your mind? Physical health? Mental health? What about spiritual health? Where most people would agree that physical and mental health are of paramount importance, rarely do we assess our spiritual health, let alone work diligently toward increasing in it. This week, we dive into...
