Episode 160 (03/30/22): “God… please…” When our heart cries out in desperation, yet is met with what could only be explained as silence, where is God in the messiness of life when we cry out in our lacking to God while everything stays the same…? Heavy heart, in those moments of our brokenness when God doesn’t FEEL generous, may we lift our eyes to the Suffering Servant like we have never done before.

Episode 157 (2/23/22): There’s a depth to love that can only be understood when we are at our lowest. Despite the dark nights our feet may wander through… or the terror of the open seas that we find ourselves lost in… or the haunting voices and sirens of our unrelenting regrets and shames… heavy heart, may we rest easy knowing this truth: Even at our lowest... we are loved MORE than we can fathom. You are not a lost cause. Music Featured In Today’s Episode: Sam Ock, “The Best” (From The Album: Style Book)

Episode 155 (1/27/22): "... And when He took the scroll, the four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. And they sang a new song..."- Revelation 5: 8-9 No matter where today finds you, may everyday we sing a new song. To those who read this, you truly are so, so loved... May we never fail to see our lives as the precious gifts that they are. Music Featured In Today’s Episode: Jeremy Camp, “Let It Fade” (From The Album: Beyond Measure)

Episode 154 (1/19/22): There’s something about water. From the dependence that each of us have to it, to the peace and solace that it provides… each and every one of us can not go long without it. Continuing from Episode 152, join us as we look at Ezekiel’s vision found in Ezekiel 47 of a river unlike any other, and the abundant source of that river that we are more dependent on than we tend to realize. For those who long for a joy and peace beyond our chaos… may these longings lead us to the Well that never runs dry.

Episode 153 (1/12/22): Regardless of our upbringing, there was someone in our lives who clothed and fed us when we were not able to. From the fragility and dependence that a child naturally has for their caretaker or parent… to the prideful refusal of the same Creator, Savior, and Sustainer who has been involved in every aspect of this fragile life that we call our own... it’s mind boggling how quickly we can forget where we come from. When the chaos of life reminds us how small we really are… and when our circumstances tempt us to believe that our God is even smaller… heavy heart, though we are small, our God is not… you are not abandoned... and you are loved so much more than we could ever fathom. May the words of today’s episode wash over… and through us, today. Music referenced in this episode: Andrew Osenga, "Swing Wide the Glimmering Gates" (From the album: Choosing Sides)

Episode 152 (1/05/22): There are times in our lives when we long for, more than anything, to run away from the messiness of our overwhelmed emotions and thoughts... and we long to get away… get alone… and to find distance from the noise and relentlessness of our restlessness. In the moments of life where we long for our fears, questions, and hurts to cease… heavy heart, there is a refuge beyond any person, or place, that this world can offer. For those who long to run away… may our running lead us to the arms of Jesus, our Sanctuary.

Episode 151 (12/29/21): At times, surrender and trust can feel as if it is impossible. For some, the new day may great you with warmth and hope… and for others, painful hurts, needs, and questions may weigh heavy on the heart. No matter where the day has greeted you, heavy heart, may we never be afraid to trust and surrender to Jesus, our Wonderful Counselor. [Recorded live at Lakepointe Church, Shelby Twp. Michigan, December 5th 2021] Music referenced in this episode: Lincoln Brewster, “Have Your Way” (From the album: Perfect Love)
