Everyday Faith with Kalie Drake

In this episode we look at Mary and Martha from a different angle. Martha opened her home. Mary sat at his feet. And for centuries we've been told which one got it right. But what if that's not actually the point? Because most of us are a house divided: running on Martha energy while starving for Mary's posture. This episode is about what changes when you let presence come before produ...

In this episode, we look at the kind of faith that doesn't quit-not a feeling, not a surge of confidence, but a woman who had run out of everything except the decision to keep going. And what Jesus called it when she finally got to him. Twelve years. Every doctor. All her money. And she was worse. Most people would have accepted the verdict. She didn't. When she heard about Jesus, she push...

The widow of Zarephath had nothing — and God asked for it anyway.

In this episode, we're studying Ruth and letting her teach us what it looks like to sacrifice self, take risks when the outcome is unclear, and trust that your posture of faith will position you exactly where God needs you to be. She lost her husband. She left her homeland. She walked into a field as a foreigner with nothing but faith and a mother-in-law who needed her. And somehow, Ruth ended...

Offense feels personal. Maybe even justified. But what if holding onto it is doing far more damage than you realize?

So many of us are asking God for things He’s already done: peace, identity, clarity, closeness.
