Fear Is Not The Root
1w ago00:06:59Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Teddy unpacks how fear influences our actions, but how it also reveals what is going on deeper in our hearts.Walking through these chapters, Teddy highlights how Israel’s rebellions and grumblings were rooted in fear of not having enough or being enough, exposing a lack of belief and trust in God and that He is enough.Teddy then points us to the way forward: fear isn’t defeated by trying harder, but by believing what is true—that God is with us, that He has provided and will continue to provide, and that He is enough.Digging Deeper Reflection Questions:1. Where in your life are you believing you don’t have enough, even as God is providing?2. In what areas are you seeing yourself as small or inadequate?3. Where might you be believing that God is not good, or that He is not for you?We pray this week’s readings, episode, and Digging Deeper questions both challenge and encourage you as you continue to grow in your faith.

Apr 1300:08:18Tap to summarizeIn this week’s episode, Brian kicks off our time in the book of Hebrews, showing how Jesus is greater than all the figures of the Old Testament—Moses, Abraham, and others—who themselves were looking ahead in faith to His coming.Brian also explores the truth that Jesus and God are One—that Jesus is the exact representation of God and the final, ultimate revelation of Him to humanity.He encourages us to be people of the Word, to read and meditate on Scripture so that our lives are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in every season. At the same time, he challenges us not to limit Jesus’ communication to the Bible alone, but to pursue a real, ongoing relationship with Him marked by intimacy and connection.Digging Deeper Reflection Questions:1.

Transcribe →Meet With Me
Apr 600:08:07Tap to summarizeIn this week’s episode, Mickey walks us through Leviticus 19–27, highlighting God’s desire for His people to be like Him. Our God is holy, pure, and completely “other,” and He calls His people to live set apart—distinct from the cultures around them.Mickey also explores the seven feasts in Leviticus 23, showing how they were given by God as a rhythm for His people to regularly meet with Him and celebrate His goodness. These appointed times remind us that God desires to be with His people and invites us into a consistent pattern of worship and relationship.Each of these feasts ultimately points forward—they are shadows of what was to come and are fulfilled in the Messiah. They are rich symbols that lead us to Jesus.He also encourages you to check out the YouTube video “The Holy Days of Our Lord” by Zola Levitt for further insight. Digging Deeper Reflection Questions:1. Do you plan a regular time each day to meet with Jesus? He wants that time with you.2. Consider asking Him: what do you want me to know about You today, what do you want me to know about myself? What do you want me to do in light of what You have revealed?3. What areas in my life need to be more “set apart” as I follow Jesus?We pray this week’s readings, episode, and Digging Deeper questions both challenge and encourage you as you continue to grow in your faith.
Transcribe →Close To A Holy God
Mar 3000:07:26Tap to summarizeIn this week’s episode, Teddy explores how a holy God teaches His people to live near to Him—and how, when He draws close, every detail matters.He highlights that God is not casual about His holiness. He will not be treated as ordinary, and neither should His people. God alone defines what is clean and unclean—what is good and right, and what is not.Finally, Teddy encourages us to intentionally honor God with our lives and our bodies. Holiness is not about perfection, but about being set apart—living differently because we belong to Him.Digging Deeper Reflection Questions:1. Where in your life have you begun to treat God as common, rather than holy?2. What is one area where God is calling you to draw a clear line—between clean and unclean, between what is right and what is compromise?3. What would it look like today to live set apart—not perfectly, but intentionally—for Him?We pray this week’s readings, episode, and Digging Deeper questions both challenge and encourage you as you continue to grow in your faith.

Where have I begun to downplay sin in my life?2. Am I treating my faith as something private, when it’s meant to be lived in community?3. Am I truly making space for God to take over every part of who I am?We pray this week’s readings, episode, and Digging Deeper questions both challenge and encourage you as you continue to grow in your faith.

How have you, like the Israelites, turned a blessing from God into a golden calf?2. Are you willing to stay in the wilderness with God rather than go to the Promised Land without Him?3.
