Episode Summary:
- We were having our weekly meeting and we felt the Spirit move through many members of this group. We want to show up and speak-truth today. We also want to speak-reality today, and let you see behind the curtain a little bit about what it's like for each of us to follow Christ as we strive to do His will and seek Him in the struggle.
Key Points Covered:
- “I wrote in my notes, grace and peace together because I feel like those go hand in hand. I have to allow grace to come with peace. Not everything is going to be perfect. Not everything is going to be a Hallmark movie. Not everything is going to be the way I expect it to be. But with good intention, I can show up knowing God is with me and doing this hard walk together.” Jazzael Taylor
-”If you don't know how to start with the scriptures, you've got to start with the thing that's actually going to make those scriptures impact you completely, the full surrender. And that is hard. It takes courage. It takes bravery.” Brigette Heller
-”But sometimes we just have to pause. And think and ponder. And for me, it comes at times when I'm just sitting there and the thought will come into my mind saying, “Give your kids your time this Christmas, give them your time.”” Elizabeth Baker
-” Every day she went to that cupboard and looked in for the flour and the oil, and it didn't overflow, like the kind of abundance we want to anticipate as believers.No, it looked like there was not enough. Yet God's word says it will not run out. And essentially he's saying, I am enough for you. I am all you need. And until you understand that you are always going to be looking to someone or something else to meet your need. And it's never going to be enough.” Andrew Blackwood
-”I'm in a season where I am being continuously called to look to him. And I know that in the past I'd prayed to make me a vessel and help me lead by example and help me help others, see you. And I know that he's working on me this season. I know that things are going to change. And so I just keep pressing forward and looking to him and reading my scriptures and knowing that everything is going to be okay, even though I don't know how.” Tanja Bently-Ward
