Ever had that the thought, I don't have a gift or can contribute to the church or the kingdom? I certainly have. Join Holly and Mallory as they discuss this feeling and exactly what spiritual gifts are, why all have one or many and why they are so important to the body of Christ.

Many times we can think sharing the gospel has to look like some lengthy story of the Bible, sitting with your Bible in hand, in a particular setting. Or that we have to share our entire testimony with others... Join Holly and Mallory as we discuss some tips and suggestions on fulfilling the great commission in everyday life.

Ever had doubt and fears about sharing the Gospel with others and get stuck in that mindset... Lets chat about the misconceptions and negative mindset we can have. Join Holly and Mallory as they discuss the gospel, how we are all imperfect people in need of the only perfect savior and how we can get past that imperfection to bring others to Him.

Ever felt like you in a fight, a battle and you're doing all the things, following all the instructions but not seeing anything happen? Well, you're not alone! Join Holly and Mallory as they talk Jericho... a major battle for the Israelites that took faith and complete and deliberate following of God's instructions. Bullet Points * Follow God even if the journey seems impossible * When we listen, we hear God speak to us * God is purposeful and planned * The outcome may not be instant so be patient in your waiting * We need God * Obedience in God matters. The plan will not be Go's but ours if we don't obey. * God is always fulfilling His promises Scripture References: Romans 8:28 Isaiah 40:31 Luke 11:9 Music: Songs of the Week Holly: The Saints- Andy Mineo. https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-saints-feat-trip-lee-kb/1533134185?i=1533134190 Mallory: Monday Morning Faith- SEU Worship. https://music.apple.com/us/album/monday-morning-faith/1636612484?i=1636612966

Sin is humanities curse to bear but it is a cycle we can break. Sin CAN be broken through recognition and repentance. You can change the spiritual attributes within yourself and the generations that follow. Start today setting in motion a different sowing and reaping process! * Recognize the problem * Discuss it openly with your spouse (don't forget the communication) * Forgive the people who sinned in your past that may have affected you * Give it to God Scripture References: Ezekial 18:20 Romans 5:18 Deuteronomy 5:9-10 Deuteronomy 6:5-9 Songs of the Week: Holly: While We Wait - Amanda Cook https://music.apple.com/us/album/while-we-wait/1612542994?i=1612543453 Mallory: Count 'Em - Brandon Lake https://music.apple.com/us/album/count-em/1696125997?i=1696125998

If you are in an argument:    Can you help me understand why you are so upset? I want to understand and solve this problem together.   Can you help me understand why you did that? I want to know what happened so we can solve this together.    Can you tell me more about how I made you feel? I want to understand how you felt. What can I do to make it right?    What needs to change for next time?  If you just want to engage in better conversation on an average day:   What was one thing that brought you joy today?    What was a low point in your day? What made it low?    Where did you see God move today?   What is something you are hopeful for?    What gave you energy today?    Did anything drain your energy today?  James 3:5-6, Ephesians 4:29, Matthew 12:36-37, Proverbs 18:21 Songs of the Week: Holly: Send me, Jenn Johnson Mallory: Trouble, The Chosen

Spend some time catching up with us and where the summer has left us spiritually. Summer with its long days and vacations can be relaxing and energizing but can also lead to distance in relationships. Spiritual and physical. Join us and hear where we are and how we are dealing with spirituality during the summer. Songs of the Week: Holly: Kind by Cory Asbury Mallory: Praise by Elevation Worship

Living life for an audience of 1. We were not created to seek approval from those around us, only the one above us. So often, especially in today's world, approval can be found in a heart, thumbs up, retweet or share of your post. We have misplaced our need for approval to the world around instead of to the creator of it. Martin Lloyd Jones said " We should realize that our supreme object in life should be to please God, to please Him only, and to please Him always in everything. If that is our aim, we cannot go wrong." How powerful and thought provoking right. So, I hope this devotional or my inner thoughts and questions in some way help you to do some reflection and drive you to access your motives and whose approval you are really seeking.
