Here we are, standing at the summit of our journey, and the view is so breathtaking, it's hard to find words to describe. Because we've learned to abide in Christ, we'll also enjoy the privilege of abiding in His LOVE. Yes, we've probably felt ...

I have to admit, this episode is one of my favorites I've ever recorded. We get to talk about one of the most amazing gifts that comes from abiding in Christ: the privilege of experiencing HIS joy. It's a joy unlike anything we've ever tasted--...

As you've been trying to shed your fig leaves and abandon all your hiding places, have you struggled with an inner reluctance to let go? Many of our coping mechanisms came into being to protect us from pain and to cover up our brokenness, so th...

As we continue walking farther away from our hiding places and closer to Jesus Christ, there's more we can learn about the transformation process. The Lord doesn't just want to change our behavior--He wants to bring our dead hearts back to life...

This one took a lot for me to record. We're talking about something so close to my heart, it was difficult to find words to describe it. Yes, we've had to spend some time in the desert tackling some really tough stuff. But this is the point whe...

Our journey is taking us through some pretty intense territory, so we're going to take this episode to slow down and explore how to navigate it. Leaving behind our comfort zones and coping mechanisms is an incredibly difficult process, so we're...

At this point in our season, we've now reached a crossroads. It's a place where the path splits in two completely different directions. We know that, to truly find life in Christ, we need to forsake our aprons and escapes once and for all. But ...

It's time to dive deep into the powerful concept of repentance by exploring the idea of confession. Don't shy away from this idea, because it's the way we get really real with the Lord. If we're intent on building a personal relationship with H...

Repentance isn't the most popular subject. You may even be tempted to skip right over this episode. But we can't skip it today, because it's one of the Lord's main calls to His people all throughout the scriptures. Thankfully, there's another w...

I absolutely love the content in this episode. It completely shifted my mindset when it comes to how and why I draw near to Christ. Join me as we dig deeper into what it really means to know our precious Savior and how we can truly become one w...

It’s time to pause and look back at everything we’ve learned so far from Adam and Eve. It’s fair to say that the path they walked—and we walked right along with them—will never move us from spiritual death to eternal life. So how in the world d...

As we wrap up this last detail in Adam & Eve's story, we're going to switch gears completely and look at other ways we blame that we may not even be aware of. Believe it or not, our accusation may in fact be directed at those we love--at ou...

This is the last detail we're going to explore in the story of Adam and Eve--and it's a big one. When asked if they've eaten the forbidden fruit, Adam points his finger in blame at Eve, and Eve points her finger at the serpent.  We also ha...

For those of us who are active in our religion, it's easy to believe that we're not the ones in hiding. That unlike Adam and Eve, we're not the ones running off into the trees. But could it be that, just like the Pharisees, we have times where ...

As we begin to look at the next detail in Adam & Eve's story, our goal is to evaluate how we choose to run off just like they did. In what ways do we hide ourselves "from the presence of the Lord God" (Gen. 3:8)? Initially, those of us who ...

In this episode, we'll wrap up our look at different kinds of fig leaves by talking about why they don't really work. While it's true they can feel really comforting in the moment, these types of counterfeit clothing hold us back from finding t...

As we continue to discuss ways we reach for counterfeit clothing just like Adam and Eve, today we're exploring a really sneaky fig leaf apron that can hide deep in our subconscious. Slowly and subtly, it often wraps its leaves tightly around ou...

To begin to explore the path that will lead us to life in Christ, we're going to follow in the footsteps of Adam & Eve. Like them, we too have eaten the forbidden fruit and experienced spiritual death. But there's much more we've chosen to ...

Today’s content was truly a game-changer for me. We're going to talk about a new perspective on eternal life that may just knock your socks off. When it comes to escaping the ravages and misery of spiritual death, the Lord has prepared a way ou...

In seasons 1-4, we've explored many different aspects of physical, mental, and even emotional health. Now it's time to turn our sights to the most important pursuit of all: SPIRITUAL health. I'm not talking about a few little changes here and t...

We're ending Season 4 with a bang: our last trait is to LIVE OUT LOUD.  In other words, our job is to talk, share, post, and testify in every way we possibly can of Christ's amazing power to deliver. Of His ability to save us from food add...

One of the most vital things we learned in 2020 was how crucial CONNECTION was to our mental, physical, and emotional health. Especially SOCIAL connection. Connecting with others fills a place deep inside us and buoys us up through both the goo...

This was a big one for me. Trait #8 is the COURAGE TO BE IMPERFECT. It comes from Brene Brown’s TED talk, The Power of Vulnerability, but we’ll also find this idea repeated all throughout the scriptures. The contrast is glaring: our world belie...

We're touching on two different traits today in our top ten list for Christ-centered health. They are FEARLESSNESS & HUMILITY. (For more on fear, see Season 2, Episodes 4-6 for my three-part series). While humility may not seem like an impo...

I'm pretty sure Trait #5 isn't going to be anyone's favorite. It's PATIENCE. Just the thought of all the long-suffering patience requires is enough to drive any of us crazy. We want a quick fix. We want our suffering and our struggles to stop A...
