    About this Episode

    There is a difference between living according to the world system (working for it, in awe of it, intimidated by it; even religion is part of the the world system which relies on man's flesh to work for it) and living according to a relationship with Someone who loves me. To illustrates what this looks like in my life, how you live in this reality, Judi asks some poignant questions that are often asked of us by those we talk with around the country. The questions deal with complacency?/ waiting over a period of time for answered prayers/ healing/ finances/ abusive past/ etc. God is not as results-oriented as we have thought Him to be. He is relationship oriented. Support the show

    If I Were A Little Bit Better

    If I Were A Little Bit Better

    The feeling of rejection was a common thread in my life. What if I was just a little bit better? This led to a journey of trying to be liked, measure up, and please others. It was exhausting. It wasn't until I understood the fullness of God's love AND like for me that my perspective changed and I experienced true freedom.

    It Pleased The Father

    It Pleased The Father

    God's heart is for reconciliation.

    "For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,  and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross." - Colossians 1:19-20

    Leaving Law-Law Land (Part 2)

    Leaving Law-Law Land (Part 2)

    “Law Law Land” describes a system where sin is at the center: trying to manage it, trying to avoid it, trying to be sure everything is fairly judged, trying to please or punish others, depending on their behavior. Here we are focused on keeping laws so that God can hopefully bless us. His approval is based on our abilities to do what is right. 

    In Jesus we escape into Graceland, a place where Grace flows freely and people are moved by love: the love the Father has for them as well as the love they genuinely feel and want for other people. Here we don’t operate under a contractual agreement, but rather through communion, which is based on unlimited reliability. Graceland is where we trust God, who is love, and commune with Him, relying on His goodness to carry us through the challenges of life.

    Leaving Law-Law Land (Part 1)

    Leaving Law-Law Land (Part 1)

    In Law Law Land, we operate under a contractual relationship with God.  We get caught up in obedience, trying to avoid God’s displeasure by trying to manage sin. Our world becomes consumed with a God who is not very warm or inviting.

    In Jesus we escape into Graceland, a place where Grace flows freely and people are moved by love: the love the Father has for them as well as the love they genuinely feel and want for other people. We have been taken by His love and it has given us a true peace and a sense of joy. It is a fulfilling place to dwell in.

    Light of the World

    Light of the World

    We are carriers of HIS light! As we get to know who Jesus is, we realize who we are, and our light begins to brightly shine into a dark, broken world.

    "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." - Matthew 5:16

    ME

    ME

    When we aren't aware of our eternal identity, we take on small identities. They may not necessarily be wrong, but they are small, temporary, and and unfulfilling. Our big identity is that of a child of God. The separation mindset allows us to exist oblivious to the truth, and we end up forgetting who we are! BUT God.... He kindly reminds us that we are sons and daughters and that we belong to His family. He welcomes us HOME!

    What Is Abundant Life?

    What Is Abundant Life?

    What is Jesus talking about when He talks about life more abundantly? It's eternal life in HIM that is better and more beautiful than we could ever imagine. It's rest instead of striving. It's fullness. We lack nothing!

    "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." -John 10:10
