Bible Said What

Why does God make promises with His people? More importantly, are His promises trustworthy? Why can I truly, deeply rely on God's strength when I am weak? Moses felt all of these questions, and chose to step into obedience through apprehension. God calls us to big things, but never leaves our side. This episode highlights how God is a promise maker, and because of His nature, a promise keeper....

Comfort zones can be good, but they can also hold us back. When we prioritize our comfort over God's commands, our disobedience prevents us from fully participating in covenant with Him. In this episode, I discuss difficult obedience with my good friend Keilee Webb. We take a look at Abrahams life and God's faithfulness to define what it means to be comfortably uncomfortable.

One can can still idolize relationships while having a significant other, as well as without. This episode debriefs how we can idolize relationships during singleness, dating, and even breakups. Originally, this Q/A was a precursor to a similar episode, but as I recorded the two became one. I had so much fun filming this episode and answering all your questions about Christian dating such as: &quo...

How can we be present during difficult phases of life? It is so tempting to desire a "fast-forward" button that lands in a more comfortable place. Here's the thing: Christians aren't called to be comfortable, we are called to pursue conformity into Christ's image and seek the Lord's goodness in every circumstance. In this episode, we dig into Philippians 3 and Jeremiah 29...

Worldly control and Biblical control are two different things. The world tells us that control is having autonomy and authority, but interferes with relationships and wellbeing. Scripture highlights that control is living in the discipline and temperance from the Holy Spirit. Join me and my friend Stefany Spencer as we discuss what it truly means to have control in our lives!

In a generation full of voices, it can be difficult to discern which are good and true. On this episode, I am joined by Rachael Adeline to discuss wisdom, and how to spot it in those around us. We talk about the differences in wise, foolish, and evil people and how to surround yourself with encouragement.

The city of Ephesus was the hub for pagan worship, including to the fertility goddess Artemis. In a similar way, our modern culture continues to idolize and distort God's design for sex and marriage. On this episode, we wrap up our mini-series on Ephesians by discussing covenant relationship and guarding guarding our hearts against the enemy. You don't want to miss this one!

Where is "the line" between dating someone and just being friends? In a generation with unpredictable dating culture, the boundaries between friendship and romance can blur, causing confusing and heartache.

We were created for relationship by a Father who pursues us and invites us to dwell with Him. Ephesians is one of my favorite epistles, and I love chapters 1-2 specifically as they highlight God's consistency and faithfulness throughout the old and new testaments.

The question we all have, but is rarely talked about. On this episode, I am joined by Monica Ritchie to discuss the balance between God's holiness and life's brokenness. As image bearers, He calls us good, yet we still live amongst sin and lots of "bad." Join us as we talk about reacting to trials and hardship as salt and light!

Why do people thrive by living according to the world? The lifestyle that doesn't follow Jesus looks incredibly appealing, and seemingly harmless.

Closing out the Romans series is chapters 12-16, which emphasizes unity within the church! This episode is about using our spiritual gifts to find our "fit" in God's kingdom, as well as addressing things that cause disunity among the church. Too many people have experienced "church hurt," which Romans 12-16 gives us the roadmap to avoid!

God always has a plan! These chapters in Romans highlight the Lord's sovereignty over time, people, and darkness.
