Strength to Equal Your Days-Who am I When Everything Changes
"Who am I when everything changes?" It's a question we rarely consider until we're faced with a significant life transition—a graduation, an empty nest, a career shift, a health diagnosis, or a relationship ending. These moments shake not just our circumstances, but often our very sense of identity.The conversation centers on Romans 8:15-17, which reminds us we are adopted children of God—a core identity that doesn't shift with changing circumstances. While this truth seems simple intellectually, living from this reality during transitions proves challenging. The hosts emphasize developing deep spiritual roots during stable seasons so w...

When God's Favor Looks Nothing Like Instagram
What does it truly mean to be "blessed and highly favored"? The angel's greeting to Mary has become a popular phrase, but Mary's subsequent journey challenges our modern interpretation of divine blessing. When we examine Mary's life after this pronouncement, we discover a path marked by difficulty rather than ease. The transformative truth revealed in this episode is that Mary was blessed and highly favored not because her circumstances would be easy, but because God had specifically chosen her. Her identity as God's chosen vessel preceded any action on her part, and the pivotal moment came when s...
