As we slow down and create safety, Sarah connects with a younger part of herself that holds deep-seated beliefs about being different and misunderstood. Through our session, we navigate the emotions tied to early experiences of shame and isolation, leading to an organic unburdening and a shift in how this part relates to her present-day self.Key Takeaways:Self-doubt...2025-02-1749 min

People think you are smelly, a likely thief, a bit odd and not deserving of much respect.

Our Advent becomes less about preparing for Jesus and more about the busy schedules and expectations we’re carrying. Our hearts feel dissatisfied and are searching for something that can’t be bought in a store. So, we spend less. Instead of mindlessly shopping and spending more than we can afford, we take the time to think about our purchases. We resist the empire of more and declare that Jesus is worthy of our praise.

Like God’s people in Babylon, our hope, our salvation, our justice, and our future are intricately tied to His story, and like God’s people in Babylon it’s hard to hold on to hope when things feel hopeless and culture pressures us. But the story isn’t over. God’s not done. Throughout your day come back to Jeremiah’s words. Let them challenge you to risk and redirect your hope.

Worship is a state of your heart. Look at the Christmas narrative and see how the central characters expressed their worship in a variety of ways: Mary was moved to sing a song of gratitude to God. Joseph obeyed and followed God’s plan. The shepherds stopped their work to go find and worship the Christ-child. Magi confronted anything that stood in the way of worshiping the one true God. Elizabeth opened her home in an act of hospitality.

But people on the outside can be just as imprisoned as those serving time. Just ask those who have been released—Are you free now? Truly free? Jesus sets captives free, and it has nothing to do with being incarcerated. Will Smith hit rock bottom when he was put away behind bars. Then Jesus set him free.

Even followers of Jesus still experience the pain, trouble, and distress of this world. But God meets us at our worst, inviting us to cast our anxieties and burdens on him. He gives us permission to pour our hearts out to him by learning to lament. In the story of David, we find the man after God’s own heart expressing his unfiltered emotions to God, and God meets him in his fear and weariness. He wants to do the same for you.

But where are those who refuse to talk bad of others? At all? Jesus gives us plain instruction on how to deal with those who have hurt us, and as we follow his method, we will be cured of talking badly about anyone. Ever. Again.

Yet Jesus does something to restore Peter and show him he was never disqualified, only unaware of his total need for the grace of God all along the way. Jesus is doing the same for each of us as he prepares us to receive his Spirit.

That Jesus calls out to you with words he has for you personally, specifically? How do you know the voice of the one calling you? This isn’t just something cool to realize—it’s life to hear the voice of God. And it is something he wants to waken you to practice.
QUESTIONS:

When he appeared to them after his resurrection, Jesus emphasized from Scripture this was God’s plan all along—to enter the pain of the world He came to save. It is the same plan for us as followers of a suffering Savior. You and I are most like God as we suffer alongside those who are hurting and broken. This is the path to glory.2021-04-1839 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastAwakened to Being Fully AliveAll of us have experienced falling asleep and dreaming so vividly we believe it is really happening, only to wake and need some time to figure out where we are and what’s really going on.

And he draws us into the larger story he is carrying out in this world.

Grace at Fort Clarke PodcastYours is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory ForeverWho IS this God we pray to? How big is he? What happens when we take in all that God is, and pray accordingly?

Why so many temptations? How does God want us to face these trials, and what is the devil’s design in all this? Does he have as much power as we credit him? Jesus teaches us to pray that we will hold up under trials and that God would keep us safe from the evil one. He wants us to hold onto some important truths so we work through life’s battles and emerge stronger and better.

The person who took advantage of you leaving you humiliated? Jesus says as we pray to be forgiven, we will only find true freedom—and forgiveness from God ourselves—as we forgive those who have hurt us. This petition in the Lord’s Prayer has powerful effects as we put into practice. Both for our offender, and for ourselves.
QUESTIONS
• Who do you find it difficult to forgive? What are you afraid of should you choose to forgive this person? Why is it near impossible for you to for...2021-03-0738 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastGive us this day our Daily BreadDo you have everything you need, or do you worry about having enough? Jesus teaches us to petition our Father in heaven for our basic needs—bread, food, sustenance—so he can provide everything we need. If he does this with basic necessities, how much more does he want us to pray for things that really last?
QUESTIONS
• When did God provide something you really needed in answer to your prayers?
• Has he been faithful to provide the things you need, or have you gone without when you asked?
• What have you been praying for with the same degree of desperatio...2021-02-2836 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastThy Will be Done on Earth as it is in HeavenHow many times have we stopped to think about what it actually means to extend an invitation to God for His will to be done in our lives? The covenant of Jesus is our model example of God’s perfect will from beginning to end. How can we be more like the angels who dedicate their entire world to worshipping and proclaiming the mighty name of our King? Let’s take a deeper look into our tendencies to suggestion box praying vs completely submitting to God’s will for us.2021-02-2133 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastMay Your Kingdom ComeWhen the Kingdom of God broke into your world, what was it like?

Grace at Fort Clarke PodcastPursuing Racial ReconciliationThe church is to live and lead by example in areas of racial diversity and reconciliation, because God has made the church a reconciling community. Why is it, then, the church is better known as a segregated community than a reconciled community? What are you learning as you listen to the experiences of people of color in our nation? And what must we do to pursue racial reconciliation to be the multi-cultural, multi-racial church made up of people from every nation and tribe and people and language?

Grace at Fort Clarke PodcastWalk in the Way of PeaceThe Christmas story teaches us the way of Christ is the way of peace—peace with God, peace with others. We choose to walk in the way of peace and we work for peace to those living in darkness. This virtue, recognized by many in the culture during the Christmas season, is the normal practice of Christ-followers every day of the year.2020-12-2029 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastWaiting on the Lord—Rethinking our TimeIs waiting something you enjoy or dread? Maybe you’ve been waiting for something for so long you wonder if it will ever get here. If God is all-good and all-powerful, why doesn’t he help us more quickly? In the nativity story of Simeon waiting to see the Lord’s salvation in baby Jesus, we learn that God’s timing is perfect…and purposeful. What does it mean to allow God to order our time this Christmas season?

Buying gifts, family pictures, asking for time off for vacation, getting the food ready—the list can go on and on. The question we must ask is if we are prioritizing the wrong things? In the story of Jesus’ Nativity, Joseph had some priorities that had to be re-prioritized once he learned God had other plans. What priorities might you need to adjust to tackle God-sized purposes?
QUESTIONS:
• Are you a Lists person? If so, what’s on your Christmas season preparation list?
• Can you tell about a time when your priorities and plans...2020-12-0632 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastOthers FirstIn the Christmas season people seem to be more open to be thinking of others. Yet Christ-followers are taught to do this every day of the year, even the least likely individuals. The story of the Nativity presents some characters who open our eyes to God’s care for others, even to those we least expect to be open to the things of God. For God is doing something in Jesus that is for the whole world!2020-11-2930 min
Grace at Fort Clarke PodcastEveryone Can Develop SomeoneJesus’ message centers on loving God by obediently following his Spirit, so he can lead us to love others in a new way—that only passes life to life. God restores the Masterpiece in us through others, and he calls us to lovingly invest in restoring the Masterpiece in others so that one life at a time, he changes the world! Invest in the few, like Jesus did, and you will make a huge difference in the world for eternity.2020-11-2241 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastSharing Jesus' Good MessageIn a generation devoid of much knowledge of God or the Bible it usually takes 6 months to 2 years for a person to find faith. And the process requires community and a “come as you are” environment. But what is the gospel—the good news? What is the kingdom Jesus announced? There is good news about God and Life, good news about Jesus, and good news about our part.2020-11-0839 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastSharing Their PainEveryone hurts; not everyone cares. But Jesus cares when you hurt. He suffers when you suffer. He became our wounded healer. The question is: Do I listen for people’s hurts and needs? Do I demonstrate God’s heart for hurting people? That’s how we become Jesus-with-skin-on to others.2020-11-0134 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastCalling Out the MasterpieceGod’s restoration plan is to first restore our Identity, rooted in our Creator, so we feel secure in our uniqueness and quit trying to be like everyone else. Part of God’s restoration work in you is to help you call out that Masterpiece in others. This means learning to create, learn and love in the image of God, the Imago Dei.2020-10-2534 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastRestoring ValueWhat you hold in your heart toward a person—the mental framework of how you picture them—is what people react to interpersonally. If muddy people are going to respond to the mercy and grace of God in Jesus, they must feel valued by his followers, you and me. If we want to become more like Jesus than the Pharisees, we must make ourselves available to God’s Spirit to see and value those in need more than we value our own agendas.2020-10-1840 minGrace at Fort Clarke PodcastA Glutton, Drunk and Friend of SinnersDo you see many people wanting to know about God because they see a glimpse in you of love, life and freedom? If not, maybe this disconnect is due to not having the heart Jesus had for other people. When we see ourselves, and others, through Jesus’ eyes, we are ready to participate with God in the greatest restoration project of all time—the reclamation of God’s Masterpiece, his image artistically incorporated in every human being we meet.2020-10-0430 min
