Do you ever struggle with confronting a loved one’s sin? Is God calling you to speak the truth to someone you know? As Jesus walked through life, his greatest desire was to be obedient to the Father. He confronted sin; but also engaged, loved, and leaned into all kinds of relationships. We are called as people of integrity to align our emotions, words, and actions in pursuit of a God-honoring life...

What does it mean to seek restoration in our relationships? Are we willing to do the work to reach mutual peace and understanding? In this episode, Nicole breaks down the narrative between Peter and Jesus in John 21. In this passage, Jesus models what true restoration looks like including the need for forgiveness, reconciliation, and repentance. We learn that we are forgiven in Christ because of t...

What does it mean to lead a life of love? In this episode, we are looking at the narrative between Pilate and Jesus in John 18-19. In this pivotal story, we learn about the nature of humanity and the difference between leading a life of fear and leading a life of love. It can be so easy to step out of a place of love and step into a place of fear. So what do you fear? What do you fear in your rela...

When did your heart start to wake up to God? Can you pinpoint when you fully understood the victory of Jesus? The promise of victory is a foundational truth for how we understand ourselves, engage in growing with Christ, and engage in loving others. The promise of victory states that you cannot mess up enough to leave the dominion of God's love, and you cannot condemn yourself enough to be separat...

There is a kind of joy present when you understand your salvation. It changes the way you look at trials; you begin to see that those trials are important to your faith. And when you have joy in your salvation, and you experience those trials that are important to your faith, you get to remember these deep promises that come with salvation - that you have been made new, that you have a new birth,...

Out of this story of Jonah’s failure (and obedience), we see God’s grace extended not only to the people who are wicked, but also to the person who is considered righteous. God extends his grace in both directions because God isn’t just looking at actions, he looks at our heart. What Are the Principles in Jonah? 1. God loves the people you think are against you. Think of the people or place you le...

In this episode, Nicole unpacks Jesus' authority on earth through the fullness of David’s heart in Matthew 22:41-46 and Psalm 110. In Matthew 22:41-46, we see the Pharisees relentlessly asking Jesus questions to trap him. However, Jesus turns the tables on them prophetically and profoundly through Psalm 110. Jesus reveals to them that he fulfills any prophet, priest, and king of the time. David wa...

The book of Ruth is a love story... but maybe not in the way you think it is. In this episode, Nicole unpacks the Old Testament book of Ruth. Ruth was so valuable and crucial to the life of Jesus Christ that she is even named in his genealogy. The book of Ruth is a love story of redemption. In this episode, Nicole covers: 1. What a Kinsman-Redeemer is (Ruth 2:19-20) 2. What moral righteousness mea...

This story is mysterious and frankly, a little weird. But when you know what it means in the context of the narrative of Scripture, it makes so much more sense. Context: In this part of the exodus, the people are impatient to get to the Promised Land. “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?” In doing this, they speak against God’s grace. When God withdrawals his grace, h...

Through Abram's belief in and commitment to God, we can hold fast to the promises of The Lord. In this episode, Nicole covers: 1. Abram's belief in G...

Over the next two weeks, Nicole is going to teach us about two characters in scripture that are reinterpreted in the New Testament to help us understand Jesus' promise.
