War can’t stop discipleship in Southern Lebanon
Welcome to the It Just Is podcast, I’m your host, Michael Smalley. Today I have another special update from my missionary friend currently living and discipling in Southern Lebanon. Please remember, as you hear his voice, that he is currently surrounded by Hezbollah. I lived one floor above him in Southern Lebanon, the risk is real. One of the key leaders of Hezbollah lives across the street! You can find out more about their music ministry and discipleship work and support them financially by visiting https://www.horizonsinternational.org/jeremy-and-zaheda-fletcher

Step Seven - Mistakes lead to growth but only if you do this one thing
Welcome to the It Just Is podcast, I’m your host, Michael Smalley. We’ve reached Step Seven - Humility - We ask God to help us change and remove all our signature sins. If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we...

Step Five - you must share that thing you swore you'd never tell anyone
Welcome to the It Just Is podcast, I’m your host Michael Smalley. Step Five - We admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another person the exact nature of our wrongs and signature sins. Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. Elijah, for instance, human just like us, prayed hard that it wouldn’t rain, and it didn’t—not a drop for thre...
