Season 2 Episode 12 Spiritual Armor
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
Tuesday Jul 20, 2021
I recently saw an ad on the marketplace where someone was selling two life-size knights' of armor. I thought to myself, "Who would pay that amount for an item that isn't needed in our lifetime?" However, there is a different kind of armor that is available and it's FREE -- the Armor of God. As we read today's Scripture in Ephesian 6 God tells us how to spiritually dress from head to toe every day so that we can win the war raging against us in the spiritual realms.

Imitate God? But how does one do that? God's Word gives us very specific instructions on how to be imitators of God -- WALK IN LOVE. Today, we are reading together in the book of Ephesians chapter 5.

Season 2 Episode 10 Living The New Life
Tuesday Jun 22, 2021
Tuesday Jun 22, 2021
We all do it! Hold on to a piece of clothing that has a few stains and perhaps a hole too. It's comfy, right. But guess what -- it doesn't look good. Today, we read in Ephesians 4 how this also applies to our walk with Jesus. Once we are forgiven, we live a new life in Christ because He removes the stains fills the holes, then clothes us fully in HIS righteousness. What part of your "old self-closet" do you need to discard today?

From death to life -- wait, is that backward? Nope -- as Christians, we are opposite from the world. We are not living to die, we are dead in our sin and because of Christ, we can live! Join me today as we read together God's Word in Ephesians 2. In verse 8 circle "this is not from yourselves" and sit in that for a while. We are saved ONLY because God provided for us what NO ONE else could -- His son, Jesus Christ. So then, rise up! Live your life every day in unity with Christ.

Season 2 Episode 8 Know Who You Are In Christ

Journey with me to a book nestled in the New Testament - Ephesians. A time when Paul was in prison yet he wrote a letter of encouragement to the church of Ephesus. Today, we will begin reading all six chapters of the book of Ephesian starting with chapter one. Here we read about the Doctrine of the Gospel which is our foundational beliefs as Christian. Then we enter into a sacred section where Paul prays for spiritual insight. I love how he is so specific in his prayer. When is the last time you asked God to give you spiritual insight into your own life? Then we end the chapter reading with God's power in Christ. Did you know that the word Christian means little christ? As image-bearers of God, we should make it our daily goal to live a life that pleases HIM.

Friends, we are finishing up reading Psalm 119 during this weeks episode. The number 7 in the Bible means completion. I didn't plan for it to turn out this way but it just so happens to be episode 7 in season 2 that we wrap up reading through the longest chapter in the Bible. My hope and prayer is that your desire to delight in God's Word daily is growing day by day.

Season 2, Episode 6 God, As Our Only Friend
Tuesday May 18, 2021
Tuesday May 18, 2021
This week we pick back up reading together at Psalm 119 beginning with verse 73.
- Have you ever felt like God was your only friend?
- Do you remember the last time you asked Him for understanding?
- What about discernment?
- Do you believe with all of your heart, mind, and soul that God's Word is forever and firmly fixed in Heaven?
- Do you love His instruction?
- Do you hate every false way?
At the end of today's reading I encourage you to find a quiet place and ask yourself these hard questions. Then, ask God if you answered honestly.
Putting all of my hope in God's Word,
Heather

Season 2 Episode 5 The Excellence of Love
Tuesday May 11, 2021
Tuesday May 11, 2021
From a retro-style hotel room in downtown Durham, NC Glenn and I sit down together the day after celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary to record an episode on LOVE. Join us as we go back to the beginning and share our own side of the dating season and answer the question, "why did you choose me as your lifemate?" Our "I-Dos" quickly ushered us into a season of trials and testing that eventually brought us to our knees in prayer and saved what we affectionately know as, "The Lamps." We've learned and are still learning (from both mistakes and wins) on the excellence of love. The reading of God's Word in this episode is found in 1 Corinthians 13.

Journey with me in today's episode as we read together Psalm 119: 33-72. Together, we will learn how Ezra's spiritual diary was penned so that we could know how to use God's Word as the Sword of the Spirit in our own lives. Teach us, Lord to:
- Read God's Word like Jeremiah & Ezra
- Study God's Word like Daniel
- Memorize God's Word like Hannah & Mary
- Meditate of God's Word like Joshua
- Use God's Word like Jesus, David, Paul, and Ezra
