mom & me talk Jesus

Comfy blankets. Comfy shoes. Comfy pjs. Comfy. Or Comfortable. Who doesn't want to be comfortable? Join Callie and Mom as they recall their recent adventure into the land of the UN-comfortable. From breaking arms and hurting legs to infuriating red tape and unfamiliar territory, it's an eye-opening ride to a place where none of us want to be — UN-comfortable. 

Fear thrives in the unknown. When twelve spies entered the Promised Land, ten returned focused on the obstacles, but Caleb saw something different—God's faithfulness. In this episode, we study Caleb's unwavering faith and discover how trusting God changes the way we view impossible situations. From an eleven-day journey that became forty years of wandering to a promise fulfilled at age eighty-five...

Life. Food. Drink. Clothes. Jesus tells us not to worry about all of these because God the Father is our provision. And when we skip down a few verses, after He's gone through the whole discourse about birds, and flowers and grass, He tells us something else to not worry about. Matthew 6:34 NIV Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble...

In this episode, we dive into Matthew 6:25–33 and confront a struggle for many, if not all, of us—worry over appearance, possessions, and how we're perceived. King Solomon lived in extravagant wealth with a stellar reputation but when measured alongside the simple beauty of God's wildflowers, Jesus tells us even the greatest human splendor cannot compare to what God Himself creates and values. Sol...

In Lesson 4 of the Enough for Today Bible study series, we explore what Jesus meant when He said, "Do not worry about your life… what you will drink." (Matthew 6:25). Throughout Scripture, water represents life, provision, and God's sustaining presence. In this session, we examine the moment in Exodus 17 when the Israelites arrive at Rephidim—exhausted, thirsty, and convinced God has abandoned the...

In this relaxed podcast episode, we start with a little Winter Olympics talk, then we catch you up on our Bible study series, "Enough for Today," based on Matthew 6:25 and the five things Jesus tells us not to worry about. We recap our third session on "what you will eat" by walking through Exodus 16 and God providing manna for the Israelites. We talk about their grumbling, how they twisted their...

We went live from Bullard, Texas and I recapped our weekend at First Baptist Church Tyler, where we visited ahead of the Ladies Conference on April 17–18 (Callie will sing and I'm teaching Psalm 23, "He Restores My Soul"). I also shared how we celebrated Callie's birthday with bakery stops and family dinners, and I reminded everyone about our Deep in the Heart Ministries men's conference in Tyler...

Our Bible study continues the "Enough for Today" series (Matthew 6:25) by finishing Ruth, contrasting the unstable 'psuche' life with abundant 'zoe' life. We explain Naomi's ordered instructions to Ruth (wash, anoint, dress, go) as a picture of Jesus' redemption: washing of rebirth (Titus 3), anointing of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 1), and being covered in Christ's righteousness (Romans 3; 2 C...

In this episode, we catch up after a break and dive into the Book of Ruth, examining the contrast between living a life reliant on human logic (the 'psuche' life) versus one fully dependent on God's provision and guidance (the 'Zoe' life). We discuss Ruth's unwavering commitment to Naomi, her dedication to living out God's commands, and the providence of God in leading her to Boaz. This begins our...

Join us in this special on-the-fly Christmas edition as we discuss the true meaning of Christmas through the lens of the biblical nativity story. We explore how major characters like Mary, Joseph, and the Shepherds overcame their fears with faith. We dive deep into the themes of joy and peace, focusing on God's promises and the significance of Jesus' birth. Learn how the nativity story's message o...

We've heard the Christmas story so much it's probably become "old hat" by now. This session let's look at it from the standpoint of fear. Because all the principle players were told — "DO NOT BE AFRAID." And like Mary, we have no reason to fear. That little baby grew up to be a man who satisfied every requirement of God's wrath. Because of Jesus and the salvation God provides through His death and...

Living under the spirit of fear has been our series theme this fall. This session we will discuss living in fear of world events — things that are out of our control. When we live under the spirit of fear, the enemy can use ANYTHING that is unknown to intimidate us. World events are unknown. Not one of us can control the weather, or the leaders of other countries, or the citizens of other countrie...

This episode is about faith, fear, and Jesus' miracles. We share our personal stories, including a touching testimony about miscarriage and the hope found in Jesus. We also discuss the Biblical story found in Mark 5 of the woman healed by Jesus after 12 years of suffering, emphasizing the importance of honesty and embracing Jesus' unconditional love and peace. Join us as we explore how these lesso...

In this session we are studying the fear of being honest with God. We as humans are funny. We think we can hide from an all-knowing, all-seeing, ever present God — the Creator the Universe. You'd think we learned our lesson from Adam and Eve, or Jonah, or David, or Sarah — all those who tried to hide from God what they'd done or didn't do. I don't know a single time it worked out. This session we...

In this episode, Mom and me share our thoughts and experiences from our recent trip to Branson where we saw 'David the Musical'. We dive deep into the story of David and Goliath, discussing the musical's portrayal and exploring themes such as faith, fear, and God's sovereignty. We reflect on how David's unwavering trust in God helped him overcome monumental challenges. Through historical insights,...

We've established what we fear — others and their words, our enemies, honesty with God, and world events. Last time we looked at Saul and his fear of man and how that fear dictated his life. This session, we are going to examine fear of our enemies from 2 perspectives — King Saul and a shepherd boy named David….. The battle is the Lord's. DO. NOT. FEAR. grjbministries.com

Saul is the picture of what fear does to us — whether it be fear of man, rejection, self or failure. As a believer, I have 2 choices — faith in God and His eternal word or embrace the fear the enemy uses against me. God's word says: For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV) And according to God's word, fear ain't from Him.   Video...

In this episode, Callie and her mom Gina discuss their first Bible study session of Fall 2025 titled 'Don't Waste Today, Being Scared of Tomorrow.' They delve into Genesis 3, exploring the origin of fear and how it relates to faith in God. Come along as these 2 discuss Adam and Eve's relationship before they ate the fruit and how doubting God's truth impacted their fateful decision. 

This fall, our series is titled "Don't waste today being scared of tomorrow." In preparation for this series, I looked up the word "fear" in the Bible. According to Scripture, here are things humans fear: man and his insults, being honest with God, enemies, world events and critical situations. For the next few weeks, we are going to take those fears and put them against God's truth. Hopefully, we...

An epic road trip to the Grand Canyon becomes the backdrop for mom and me as we introduce our upcoming Bible Study series on fear. We'll explore how fear shows up in our lives, what Scripture says about it and God's invitation to walk with Him instead of standing on the edge of fear. Enjoy our vacation antics out West, find encouragement, and be challenged to face God's truth on this episode! 

Dive into the powerful lessons from Deuteronomy 27-30 and Joshua 7-8 as Israel faces sin, consequences, and the grace of a second chance. Joshua and the people learn the hard way about the dangers of disobedience and the importance of staying true to God's covenant. This session challenges us to examine our own hearts, remove hidden sin, and center God's Word in our lives as a lasting memorial.  ...

In this episode, we stand with Joshua at the close of a remarkable chapter in Israel's history. After years of battles, miracles, and divine guidance, the Promised Land is finally at rest. But before his final breath, Joshua gathers the leaders and people for one last plea: Choose this day whom you will serve. We unpack: What true service to God looks like How God's faithfulness sustains us in eve...

We kick things off with some fun real-life chatter — from candle favorites to everyday moments — before diving into the story of Joshua and the Israelites stepping into the Promised Land. This episode unpacks what it really means to obey God, even when His ways don't make sense to us. We talk through the shift from the Mosaic covenant to the new covenant through Jesus, and why God's laws still mat...

In this week's episode, we talk about the story of Jacob—and not just the flannelgraph version. Jacob dreamed about a heavenly ladder, wrestled with God and ended up with a life long limp. His story rich in symbolism… and sometimes that's hard to wrap your head around. Callie opens up with her own struggles to understand the deeper meanings in Scripture. Gina shares how God's invites us to explore...

In this episode, Callie and Gina discuss their upcoming Deep in the Heart Women's Conference and the true meaning of the conference slogan, 'Real Women, Real Stories, Real Jesus.'
