"Dissed" • Skipped: Track 04
5d ago00:36:22Tap to summarizeSome passages make us pause. They seem confusing, uncomfortable, or hard to reconcile with the God we know. Sometimes what first appears harsh or confusing reveals something deeper when we stay with it long enough. And maybe that's true of some seasons in life, too.Maybe you're waiting for an answer, a breakthrough, or a prayer that feels unanswered. While things don't always unfold the way we hope, we're reminded that God is still good, we can trust Him, and one day all things will be made right.Until then, there can be purpose in the waiting.
Transcribe →"Uprooted" • Skipped: Track 03
2w ago00:33:54Tap to summarizeFaith can feel intimidating when we think it requires certainty, confidence, or having it all figured out.But Jesus points to something much smaller—a mustard seed. A reminder that faith isn't about how much we have, but where we place it.Sometimes we struggle to believe that change is possible, that God can work in our circumstances, or that He can do something meaningful in us. Yet Jesus sees more in us than we often see in ourselves. He specializes in taking small beginnings and doing what seems impossible.Because sometimes all it takes is a mustard seed of faith to trust that God is still at work.
Transcribe →"Denied" • Skipped: Track 02
3w ago00:37:59Tap to summarizeFollowing Jesus often sounds inspiring—until we come across a teaching that feels costly.If God is truly good, if He is for us, and if He can be trusted, then His invitations aren't leading us away from life—they're leading us into it. Sometimes the hardest teachings of Jesus begin to make more sense when we view them through the lens of God's character rather than our fears.Because trusting God means believing that what He asks of us is ultimately for our good, even when we don't fully understand it.
Transcribe →"Haters" • Skipped: Track 01
4w ago00:39:06Tap to summarizeYou know those passages we highlight, memorize, and come back to again and again. And then there are the ones we skip. The verses that confuse us, make us uncomfortable, or seem impossible to reconcile with the God we know.When we come across a verse that doesn't seem to fit, it's important to remember what we already know to be true about God: He is good. Sometimes understanding a difficult passage begins not with having all the answers, but with holding firmly to that truth as we continue asking questions and seeking understanding.

"Complaining" • Word Problems: Part 7
May 2400:37:09Tap to summarizeIt’s easy to focus on what’s frustrating, disappointing, or not going the way we hoped. Complaining can become so normal that we don’t even notice how much it shapes our perspective.But Jesus invites us to hold firmly to the good—to live with gratitude, grace, and an awareness of what we’ve already been given.Because what we continually focus on doesn’t just shape our attitude… it shapes the way we experience life and the people around us.
Transcribe →"Cultivation" • Word Problems: Part 6
May 1700:35:47Tap to summarizeWe often hold back encouragement because we’re thinking about the short term. What if it’s awkward? What if they don’t respond the way we hoped? What if it feels uncomfortable to say out loud?But encouraging words have the power to do something much deeper over time. They can shape confidence, strengthen people, and remind someone they’re seen and valued in moments they may need it most.And it doesn’t just change the other person—it changes our relationships too. Because the words we choose to speak today can help cultivate the kind of connection we experience tomorrow.
Transcribe →"Credibility" • Word Problems: Part 5
May 1000:39:04Tap to summarizeWe live in a world where words are thrown around casually, promises are broken, and honesty can feel optional. But Jesus teaches that our words are meant to carry weight.He invites us to become people of honesty and integrity—people whose words can be trusted. Not just in the big moments, but in the everyday conversations and commitments that shape our relationships.Because when our words lose their weight, trust begins to disappear with them.
Transcribe →"Contemplation" • Word Problems: Part 4
May 300:36:36Tap to summarizeOur thoughts move fast. Reactions come even faster. And if we’re not careful, what we think in a moment can shape what we say—and how we show up in our relationships.Jesus invites us to pause. To pay attention to what we’re thinking, and to take our thoughts captive before they turn into words.Because even a brief moment of awareness—asking why am I thinking this? and do I want to respond from here?—can begin to change the direction of a conversation.Try it: think about what you think about.
Transcribe →"Confession" • Word Problems: Part 3
Apr 2600:42:11Tap to summarizeWe all have things we’d rather keep hidden. Things we justify, ignore, or hope will just go away on their own.But what if holding onto it is actually what’s keeping us stuck?Jesus invites us into a different way—one marked by honesty and confession. Not to shame us, but to free us. Because bringing things into the light doesn’t just bring healing to others… it brings freedom to us.Confession isn’t weakness. It’s the beginning of real change.
Transcribe →"Conflict" • Word Problems: Part 2
Apr 1900:41:46Tap to summarizeConflict is inevitable. Misunderstandings happen. People say things they don’t mean—or don’t say what we needed to hear. The question isn’t if conflict will come, but how we choose to handle it when it does.Jesus invites us to approach conflict differently—not with defensiveness or assumptions, but with humility, honesty, and a desire to restore.This week, we walk through a better way forward:1. Check your motive.2. Check your story.3. Share your motive.4. Share your story.5. Listen to their story.6. Own your part (even if it’s just 1%).7. Ask for what you need.8. Take action and follow-up.Because it’s not about being right—it’s about getting it right together.
