Bible Said WhatBible Said WhatThe Idol of Living in the Future// First Seminary Semester DebriefHow can we be present during difficult phases of life? It is so tempting to desire a "fast-forward" button that lands in a more comfortable place. Here's the thing: Christians aren't called to be comfortable, we are called to pursue conformity into Christ's image and seek the Lord's goodness in every circumstance. In this episode, we dig into Philippians 3 and Jeremiah 29 to see how God taught His people to remain present during difficult times. (Also I debriefed my first semester of seminary, but that's not quite as important 😂)2025-05-1334 minLearn Smarter PodcastLearn Smarter Podcast347: All You Need to Know About Accommodations (Educational Therapy Series)Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET discuss accommodations in this episode.
