Wake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 138 When we ask for help God we believe God gives us what we need. It might not always be what we wished or hoped for but we trust that God only gives us what is best. Psalm 138 concludes by essentially saying, "God fulfill your purposes in my life!" Let's pray the same for us today! 2025-07-2908 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 121 Psalm 121 holds a special place in our heart. It is one of the first passages of scripture we memorized as a family. It tells us that God not only watches over us but he protects us day and night and in our coming and in our going! Join us as we see what we learn about God and ourselves in this chapter. 2025-07-2609 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 100 While praise and worship can take many different "shapes and sizes", this Psalm is all about loud shouts of praise and joy filled worship songs. In this podcast we'll discuss who God is and what he has done! 2025-07-2013 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 84 Blessed are those whose hearts are set on pilgrimage! (Psalm 84:5) We were created for a relationship with God, and the Psalmist says those who go through the ups and downs of this life focused on God will be blessed. Let's unpack this encouraging chapter that wraps up reminding us that God doesn't withhold any good thing from those he loves! 2025-07-1710 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 73 The Psalmist names something we have all experienced at some point - envy of those in the world and are successful. We wrestle with the idea that the "grass is greener on the other side" when in reality it rarely is. Let's unpack Psalm 73 together. 2025-07-1511 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 63 We all go through "wilderness" seasons but we all go through these seasons differently. Is our focus on the Lord or our problems? Regardless of what we're going through King David invites into praise. 2025-07-1310 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 51 In Psalm 51 King David walks us through his confession in light of his adultery with Bathsheeba and the murder of her husband. In the midst of the pain, this Psalm is a beautiful gift for us today as we too need to be walking to continual repentance. 2025-07-1112 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 40 Psalm 40 begins with thanksgiving and ends with lament. It talks about trusting in God and doing his will while pleading for protection from enemies. The Psalmist gives us a reminder to always focus on God's faithfulness, regardless of our circumstances. How has God been faithful in your life? Let's unpack this. 2025-07-0810 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 32 Psalm 32 shows us that confession is a great gift. While it can be terrifying to confront our sin it is definitely a gift and something God calls us to. Join us as we unpack the gift of confession (and food poisoning)! 2025-07-0711 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 19 In this chapter the Lord and his word are described as: perfect, refreshing, trustworthy, wise, right, joy giving, radiant, pure and eternal. We are to desire God and his word more than "precious gold". The question is do we? 2025-07-0413 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 4 In Psalm 4, it seems there is chaos breaking out all around the Psalmist. Often when life gets hard we're quick to say, "God help! Change my circumstances!" But in this Psalm, we are encouraged to ask God to change our heart first in the midst of our circumstances. The Psalmist joins Jesus and Paul focusing on prayer directed toward heart change. Let's see what we can learn from them! 2025-07-0109 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayJames 4 How do we act when we don't get our way? Clearly the early church was foul mouthed, jealous and bitter about something! If we're honest with ourselves we can relate to some extent. Let's look at James 4 and see what the Lord has for us. 2025-06-2511 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayJames 1 Why should trials and hardships be considered a good thing? James 1 breaks it down for us and gives us practical steps to take in the midst of the difficult time. 2025-06-2208 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayHebrews 13 Hebrews is written to a "religious" group of people and right away in Hebrews 3, "Fix your thoughts on Jesus...". Why? Because it seems their focus has been on angels, Moses, the prophets, the priests etc. How do we keep our thoughts on Jesus? Live out verse 13, by encouraging one another daily - let's go! 2025-06-2109 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayHebrews 8 So Jesus is greater than ... Moses, angels, the high priest ... the list goes on and on. What's the big deal? Jesus' kingdom and way of life is different and greater than anything humanity had ever known. God's law isn't on a stone tablet anymore it's on the believer's heart. It's not something we take off and put on, he's forever with us. 2025-06-1613 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayHebrews 6 Today we respond to a question that has been asked for a very long time, "Can a believer lose their salvation?" Let's interpret the Bible with the Bible as we address some seemingly difficult verses. 2025-06-1411 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayHebrews 1 Hebrews 1 makes one thing very clear, Jesus is God and is to be treated as such. The author uses the Old Testament to describe Christ and his Kingdom. In the description we're told the Lord loves righteousness and hates wickedness. How does our love/hate list compare to God's? What adjectives would you use to describe Jesus? Let's dive in! 2025-06-0910 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayRuth 2 Join Pastor Klarc and Bobbie for a few podcasts on the book of Ruth. While it may be small and short it's impact on our understanding of God's grace and the coming of Jesus is great! 2025-06-0611 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 27 Acts 27 is a jam packed chapter dealing with Paul as he sails stormy seas headed to Rome. Here is a takeaway from this chapter. The first is don't minimize the journey you're on. Often we're focused on the destination but God is with you on the journey. He speaks. We're to be obedient and listen even when it doesn't make sense! 2025-06-0310 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 24 In Acts 24 Paul is on his way to Rome and continues to have high-stakes conversations regarding Jesus and salvation. In this chapter Paul has a conversation with a leader named Felix. Felix makes a subtle but relevant statement, "I'll listen to you when it's convenient for me". How often do I follow God only because it's convenient? 2025-05-3109 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 22 In Acts 22 Paul shares the Gospel by sharing his story. We've all heard "the power of story" and for the christian our story becomes especially powerful when we acknowledge our inability and God's ability. 2025-05-2909 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 20 Devotion: strong love and loyalty; the use of time, money and energy for a specific purpose.The word "devotion" isn't used much in this chapter but this is what we see. Paul continues to lay in all on the line, speaking truth to "opponents", spending time in jail, traveling to far off cities, why? Because he's a devoted follower of Jesus. How devoted are we as followers of Jesus? What would it look like for us to be more devoted? 2025-05-2710 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 17 Acts 17 encourages and challenges us in many ways. Who can be part of the church? Anyone and everyone who confesses Jesus as Lord! Examine the scriptures yourselves - please don't be spoon fed whatever is floating around online. What does it mean to be God fearing? Let's break it down! 2025-05-2413 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 13 The Christians in this chapter encourage us to follow their example: fast, pray and listen for the Lord to speak. As we let this Biblical truth wash over us we're reminded that God has forgiven us not only from sin but from every sin. Let's live in this freedom! 2025-05-2011 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 1 If we didn't have the book of Acts - the rest of the New Testament would be very confusing! Who are these people? How do they have the "power" to do what they are doing? Acts connects the ministry of Jesus through the Holy Spirit to the Church, this is a game changer for us. Let's open up and explore! 2025-05-0810 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayLuke 23 "Hosanna!" ... "Crucify him!" ... Which one is it?! While the heart of humanity is ever changing, inconsistent and at times unreliable, the heart of God is faithful, gracious and on fully display in Luke 23. 2025-05-0610 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayLuke 16 In this podcast we aim to tackle what seems to be a doozy of a parable, "The Parable of the Shrewd Manager". Often we leave this passage wondering what to make of it, let's check it out! 2025-04-2910 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayLuke 9 We're discussing Luke 9 today, talk about a jam packed chapter! We're to walk in the authority of Jesus that he has given us in order to continue his mission. While words like "power" and "authority" are exciting to talk about it is also humbling when you realize what following Jesus costs the believer, which is everything. In the midst of this Jesus feeds 5,000+ people with the little they have to offer. But isn't that beautiful? God takes the little we have to offer and when we entrust it to him he does more than we could have ever imagined! 2025-04-2212 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayLuke 2 Today we're talking about Jesus humanity - something that often goes overlooked and not discussed. Jesus humanity + his relationship with the Holy Spirit has huge implications for us today as we too are led by the Holy Spirit. 2025-04-1512 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayMark 11 Klarc and BobbieJean discuss following Jesus in the mundane moments of life and also emphasize Jesus' teaching on the fig tree. Our prayer should be that our love for Jesus should be expressed in the way we live our lives. 2025-04-0813 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayMark 2 Join Pastor Klarc and Nyajaha as they talk about music, people watching and Mark 2! 2025-03-3019 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayRomans 8 Romans 8 is one of the most theologically dense yet beautiful passages in the Bible. Join Klarc and Bobbie as they discuss what it means to live a spirit filled life. 2025-03-2010 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayMatthew 25 Join Pastor Klarc and Bobbie in discussing the need to be ready, the call to be a good steward and for a final judgment! 2025-01-2515 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayMatthew 19 Pastor Klarc and Bobbie unpack Matthew 19 and address the reality of divorce in our world today and how when Jesus calls us to follow him he doesn't want just some of our effort and heart, he wants all of it! While the "Rich Young Ruler" was sad to give up his riches what might be holding us back from giving God our everything? Remember, he gave his everything for us! 2025-01-1918 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayMatthew 12 Who is "Beelzebul"? What's the sign of Jonah? Why this talk of the "Queen of Sheba"? Lots of questions. Join Pastor Klarc and Bobbie as they explore God's word for us today. 2025-01-1214 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayMatthew 2 Join Klarc and Bobbie as they unpack Matthew 2. The discussion revolves around the coming of the magi, the significance of Bethlehem and addressing a question you might have asked, does God speak through dreams today? 2025-01-0213 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayJude Jude is a dynamic and jam packed letter calling for believers to "contend for the faith"! Let's discuss the words of Jude and his encouragement to move from sensuality to sanctification! 2024-12-3113 minWake Before the DayWake Before the Day2 Peter 1 Pastor Klarc surprises Bobbie with a game - see if you can guess who is quoted! HINT: The quotes are movie character's final words. 2 Peter contains Peter's final words right before his death. If you knew when you were going to die what would your final words be? 2024-11-1914 minWake Before the DayWake Before the Day2 Corinthians 11 False Teachers. Presented before the Lord. Boasting in our weakness. Paul as a lot to say! How does this apply to us today? 2024-11-1111 minWake Before the DayWake Before the Day2 Corinthians 9 We're talkin' about money! Tithing. Offering. Generosity. Let's goooo! 2024-11-0912 minWake Before the DayWake Before the Day2 Corinthians 6 Paul knows he's not a great speaker, he's not flashy - that's not how he hopes to gain credibility from others. He points to his resume that is filled with adversity and hardship. His response to hardship - his ability to have peace and hope - hinge upon the reality of Jesus' death and resurrection. What does this mean for us today? 2024-11-0613 minWake Before the DayWake Before the Day2 Corinthians 4 What's the difference between repenting and renouncing? Treasures in jars of clay is a popular scripture but are we truly willing to let God shine through our hurts, pains and failures? Let's talk about it! 2024-11-0413 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 31 In this podcast we speak to the Biblical command to speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves and how Proverbs 31 is a blessing to us all, especially our women! 2024-08-3111 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 28 Ever done something wrong and then experienced paranoia thinking someone would find out? Proverbs 28:1 talks about this! Ever made a decision thinking you knew what was best, only for it to be a total failure? Proverbs 28:26 talks about this! Join us as we share our failure to live into these verses and our hope to do so in the future. 2024-08-2810 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 26 When someone is saying something hurtful, wrong, inappropriate when do we step in and engage in conversation and offer correction? When is it not worth our time and when should we walk away? Let's take a deep dive into Proverbs 26. 2024-08-2612 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 24 Let's be honest there are people out there who, when they fail, we have a little smile like the grinch show itself in our heart. There can be a real temptation to celebrate when "those people" fail! The Proverbs and Jesus encourage us to not live life that way. Let's discuss Proverbs 24 & Luke 6. 2024-08-2411 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 21 In this episode we discuss the motivation for our actions, caring about what God cares about, having peace remembering that in the midst of all the craziness King Jesus is on his throne and lastly we are called to trust, adjust and obey. Let's go! 2024-08-2112 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 19 If you love someone you'll be willing to have the hard conversation with them! As the Proverbs have mentioned before "discipline" is two-fold. In one sense "discipline" can be a consequence to negative action and yet in another sense "discipline" is sticking to the plan, the habit or the way you've committed to. Join us as we unpack Proverbs 19. 2024-08-1910 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 17 Does God tempt us? What does it mean when the Bible says "God tests us?" Let's discuss! 2024-08-1710 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 14 Many nuggets of gold in Proverbs 14! Should we apologize for "little sins"? Why does it benefit us to slow down and not be so "quick" in our words and deeds? 2024-08-1411 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 12 Proverbs 12 is all about our WORDS - our words matter. This chapter breaks down what the speech of the righteous sounds like compared to the speech of the wicked. Let's dive into this much needed chapter and examine the ways we talk to one another. 2024-08-1209 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 10 Hard work and diligence leads to profit, gain and growth. Laziness on the other hand leads to poverty and hunger. The truth of this statement can be applied to every arena of life but we want to press into our spiritual journey. Are we diligent or lazy? We also touch on the opportunity we have to learn from failure! Instead of burying your mistakes and trying to justify them let's learn from them! 2024-08-1011 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 7 Guard God's Word and keep it as the apple of your eye! What does that mean? What does it look like for us to practically do this? Let's unpack Proverbs 7 and see what the Lord has for us in this chapter. 2024-08-0711 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 5 This Proverb begins with **WARNING** PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO HEAR! The chapter continues to unpack how the ways of the "adulterous woman" are seductive and are not life giving. A question to ask ourselves is, "Who has my ear? Who's voice influences my thinking and formation? At the end of the day, everything is done under the gracious supervision of God. Let's unpack chapter 5! 2024-08-0509 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayProverbs 3 Join us as we enter into the book of PROVERBS! We begin by looking at Proverbs 3.

Pay attention to how our whole person is integrated (ie heart, mind, body etc). Notice the people stand in awe how a "man" could have the power of God. Lastly, receive Jesus's invitation to "follow me" on a daily basis. 2021-12-1013 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayMatthew 7 God wants a relationship with you! He's not interested in us saying the "correct answers" in Sunday school and doing what we want the rest of the week. He wants us to live out what we say we believe.

Join us as we unpack this chapter in light of the other scripture passages. 2020-09-1111 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayPsalm 143 This Psalm begins and ends pointing out God's righteousness - let's call it a righteousness sandwich!

(7/22/20) Why are there so many different Bible translations? Which one should I read? These are the questions we respond to today. It really is incredible that God not only gave his word to us through the Biblical writers but that he also oversaw the compilation of the Bible that contains approximately writings from 40 different authors over the course of 1500 years! 2020-07-2213 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayEpisode #38 - How does our faith affect God's actions? (7/1/20) In episode #38 we address this question, "How do we find balance between submitting to God's will in our prayer life and then at the same time pray boldly with confidence that God will do the thing we're asking? How much does our confidence/faith affect God's actions? 2020-07-0116 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayHebrews 13 In wrapping up Hebrews we discuss angels in disguise, living a life of praise and praying for a full equipping to do with will of God. Let's go! 2020-06-2909 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayHebrews 10 Confidence. Assurance. Unswervingly. No giving up. This chapter is packed full with POWER statements. All of these are describing the promise and security we have in Christ and his promises because of his victory on the cross. So what holds us back from believing in God's promises? Living spiritually confident? Let's discuss. 2020-06-2613 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayEpisode #26 - Listening & Learning: A Response to George Floyd's Death (6/3/20) Episode #26 discusses our journey to listen and learn from our African American brothers and sisters in the wake of tragedy.

What a powerful chapter! We believe that everything written in this chapter is for the Church today - for the glory of God. Join us as we talk about these things! 2020-05-2911 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 8 Growing pains = growth. While the church is being hunted and harmed the Gospel is spreading all over the world. Cultural barriers are being torn down and we see that the Holy Spirit not only lives within us for sanctification but also comes upon us for empowerment. 2020-05-2713 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 6 What happened in Acts 6 has forever changed the Church - the role of deacon is created. The Bible teaches us the important role deacons are to have caring for the community. Not long after this persecution against the church breaks out and in the midst of the suffering God is working. 2020-05-2511 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayActs 3 Lots to unpack in Acts 3 - what do you give someone when you don't have much time or resources? A prayer in the name of Jesus! We also unpack the statement "your faith has healed you" which is found throughout the Bible. What happens when we pray but there is no healing? Does that mean I didn't have enough faith? Let's discuss! 2020-05-2210 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayLuke 20 In Luke 20 we look at "authority". Jesus is continually asked, "By what authority are you doing these things?" Jesus responds by telling a parable in which the heart of humanity is revealed but so is the heart of God. Tune in to hear all about it! 2020-05-1511 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayLuke 18 In Luke 18 we focus on Jesus' teaching on prayer. He starts off with a story about a woman who would not stop praying and was eventually granted her request. So we're encouraged to keep praying but we happens when our prayers aren't answered in the way that we hoped? 2020-05-1310 minWake Before the DayWake Before the DayLuke 13 When we hear "repent" we should be accepting this as a great gift! The reality is God has given us a way to get rid of the junk we are carrying ... that we weren't created to carry!
