Becoming His Vessel Podcast

Send us Fan Mail We have lots of ways to start the new year. Instead, let's ask God how He wants us to start. Jo and Sydney remind us of the Israelites' wandering and what God's Word tells us in order to intentionally live our lives for Him -- putting Him first every day and in every way.  Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner Stay conne...

Send us Fan Mail Do you struggle to remember what God has done in your life in the past? Did you know that the Scriptures say we are to "remember" God? This week, Jo encourages us in the spiritual discipline of journaling, and how not to make it a burden but how it helps us grow deeper in our relationship with God.   Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate...

Send us Fan Mail As we begin the new year, set aside some time to seek the Lord with all your heart, soul, and strength -- more than just prayer but adding fasting. May we be challenged this year to live in a way that we do "whatever pleases the King."  Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner Stay connected with His Vessel Ministries https://ww...

Send us Fan Mail What are your favorite things that help you remember what Christmas really means?

Send us Fan Mail We're not talking about the blessing over the meal. From the account of the birth of Christ, we see many blessings that were spoken, touched, and gifted. Let's be instructed by God's Word as we seek to encourage others and glorify God.   Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner Stay connected with His Vessel Ministries http...

Send us Fan Mail Because we miss God, because we've missed living the Word, we mess up. We mess up by not living God's Word and not showing the world around us truly who God is. So, what do we do? We return to God -- by His goodness and His mercy.  Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner Stay connected with His Vessel Ministries https://www.his...

Send us Fan Mail While you're cleaning, cooking, or maybe have a few minutes before the next errand or guest, listen in and pray with Jo for your Thanksgiving gathering, for your family, for thankfulness for and faithfulness of God and more. We are praying for you and a blessed Thanksgiving!     Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner Stay connected...

Send us Fan Mail Don't miss this thankful season. It's easy to let our flesh get caught up in being overwhelmed or comparing. But, that's not the call of Christ on our lives. Our call is thankfulness. Let's prepare our hearts God's way and truly be thankful. Others will take notice too.  Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner St...

Send us Fan Mail This is not a moment to say that we're defeated as Christians. It happened to the Israelites. It happened to the early church. What if ...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Jo and Sydney talk about the practical, daily, step by step faith of following God.

Send us Fan Mail This week, Jo gives us five truths about Halloween, five Scriptures, and five questions.

Send us Fan Mail Let this sink in: God is good. That means that God Himself looks down into our lives, into our situations, and He sees what we need to make all things well around us. In this week's podcast, Jo encourages us not to miss the opportunity of seeing God and His goodness no matter our situation.  Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner S...

Send us Fan Mail This week, Jo and Sydney sit down to discuss success. Can we have success in the Christian life? Or is it only applied to the world's ways?

Send us Fan Mail While making our wedding garment, we want to be pure, clean, bright, radiantly white for the Bridegroom. In this week's podcast, Jo explains that examining the heart means that God, through the Holy Spirit and without fear, may need to cut away or circumcise our hearts.  Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner Stay connected with Hi...

Send us Fan Mail No, we're not talking about the wedding dress in the physical, but the spiritual wedding garment. In this week's podcast, Jo explains what it means (in Revelation 19:7-8) to get ready for the Marriage Feast of the Lamb, the Bridegroom...Jesus. We don't know when it will be.

Send us Fan Mail We want to train up our children in God's ways. And one of those ways is praying for them and with them.

Send us Fan Mail Jo and Sydney continue their conversation on more topics related to the family such as: to what end are we doing this activity; is this draining or life-giving for our family; predeciding with confidence and peace; having margin to serve; expectations of others vs. of God; having time alone with God to receive discernment and wisdom and more.  Support the show And, Partner With Us...

Send us Fan Mail Take a moment. Let the Word of God sink deep down into your heart as Jo prays over you and for you today. And, it will be here to replay as many times as you need. Or maybe a friend is waiting for you to share -- not just a prayer, but God's living Word spoken out blessing us.     Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-partner Stay connect...

Send us Fan Mail Or is God waiting on you? Sometimes we need the time and focus for praying and fasting. It is a privilege to pray for your needs and the needs of others -- needs from health to direction. But, as Jo encourages us this week to consider fasting, maybe God is waiting on us to move in a supernatural way.   Support the show And, Partner With Us! https://www.hisvessel.org/donate-and-par...
