We Are Wayfarers

We talk about the hope that 1 Corinthians 15:12-26 brings to our hearts and how everything we believe hinges on Christ's resurrection from the dead!

In Episode 4, we spend some time in Philippians 3:20-21 and trace some of the wayfaring themes throughout Scripture as we identify some implications and privileges of being a citizen of Heaven.

In this episode, we talk about God's beautiful promise in Isaiah 40:28-31; a promise to provide strength when we need it the most. We discuss the 3 paths that the promise can take: to soar on wings like eagles, to run and not grow weary, and to walk and not faint.

In Season 6: Episode 2 we talk about the deep impact that God's Word has on our lives and center our conversation around the unique look that Hebrews 9:28 gives us of our Savior and King, Jesus!

In our first episode of Season 6, we take a deeper look at Titus 2:11-14 and the way we are to live AS WE WAIT for our blessed hope, the return of our Savior Jesus!

In our season finale we talk about the importance of Revelation 22:20 and the power of praying, "Come, Lord Jesus!"

In Episode 9, we talk though some of how our hearts respond to Colossians 3:1-4 as we think about the things of Heaven.

In this episode we look at Paul's prayer for the believer's spiritual growth in Ephesians 3:14-21 and God's ability to do immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine!

In this episode we talk the imperative commands to "Be Strong and Courageous" given to Joshua in Joshua 1:9...commands that are repeated to many others throughout Scriptures...and to us...for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

In this episode we talk about Matthew 11:28-30; Jesus' precious promise of rest to those who are weary and carry heavy burdens who will come to Him.

Episode 5 centers around John 16:33 and some of Jesus' comforting last words to His disciples before He goes to the cross.

We take a look at Lamentations 3:19-26 in this episode of the podcast, talking about how God's Word gives us a license to lament, values a starting point of honesty and provides a lens of hope over suffering. "Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: the faithful love of the Lord never ends..."

In this episode we talk about one of Benjamin's favorite passages, Romans 8:38-39.

In this episode we read Hebrews 10:35-11:1 and talk about why this passage has been so impactful in our lives! We would love to hear how God is using these verses to encourage and disciple your heart as well- please send us an email or message to tell us some of your thoughts!

We've taken a bit of a break between podcast seasons, so we spend some time bringing listeners up to speed on what's going on in The Brave Way Home and then share some of what to expect for Season 5!

In our season finale, we talk over what hope is and what hope isn't, as well as what comfort is and what comfort isn't.

We continue our discussion of how we hold on to hope by building on the foundation of previous episodes, culminating in living in a Holy Procession. Based on a study of 2 Cor 2:14-16, we as wayfarers can live in confident expectation because Christ leads us in a triumphant procession as we spread the aroma of Christ to every corner of our world. As we go, so goes the gospel!

We continue to embrace the "P" alliteration and dig into the Holy Purpose that God has for our lives, even through pain and grief. We talk about the Holy Purpose we can see through inward transformation and its outward expressions, as well as the importance of trust when we can't see the purpose in our circumstances.

Wayfarers are called to be holy, like God is holy and they're also called to travel Homeward together. In this episode we talk about some of the calls to holiness outlined in the gospels and challenge listeners to surround themselves with the holy people - The Church!

Our conversation centers around the dogged determination to allow a holy perspective anchored in eternity, to propel us through the troubles we face in this life. This essential ingredient is a part of the holy process, outlined in Romans 5, that ultimately results in a hope that will never disappoint.

Continuing our discussions about the essential tools in our backpacks as we learn to hold on to hope, today we talk about the Holy Presence of God on our journey through this world toward the promised land ahead. The Holy Presence provides partnership, peace, truth, provision, power and promise on the brave way Home!

Living with a holy perspective and running with a holy pursuit will result in yielding to a holy pace. In this episode we talk about some of the phrases God has used to refine our pace; teaching us to stay tethered to Him, to hold out for the eternal, to praise even in pain and to walk the brave way home with fellow wayfarers.

Adopting a holy perspective will give rise to a holy pursuit. When we pursue the things over which Christ presides we refuse the temptation to chase after what the world offers and doggedly follow Jesus (the Person we were made for) to Heaven (the Place we were made for). Wayfarers don't settle and wayfarers don't quit...we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and our hearts set on Heaven, living...

Adopting a holy perspective is crucial to grieving with hope. In this episode we talk about what impacts life perspective and some characteristics of a holy perspective.

We begin our Season long discussion of hope by acknowledging the reality of grief and building a toolbox metaphor to help us meet moments of suffering well. We share some of the the truths we have discovered as reluctant learners in grief on the brave way Home and trace the trajectory of faithful endurance all the way to its promised end in eternal hope.
