beholding

Writer, spiritual director, and award-winning musician Strahan Coleman joins Blake to talk about how his journey of pain, depression, and anxiety moved his working relationship with God to a deep friendship. In his book, he invites readers into a richer life of prayer by giving up consumer Christianity for a beautiful life of seeing and being seen by God. Listen in as they talk about why prayer is a way of being with God in the every day through our minds and bodies.

“How can I change?” is an often-asked question among believers. We must remember that it is the Spirit who helps bring about change and transformation. We cannot change ourselves, but by the help of the Spirit and by beholding the glory of the Lord in the Scriptures, we are transformed into His image. Are you changing day by day to look more like Christ?

Ruth Chou Simons joins me today! We have a powerful conversation about the ways GRACE intersects our everyday lives. Because, as Ruth says, the grace of God HAS TO MATTER in our everyday, ordinary, slightly boring, sometimes disappointing lives - or it’s not real at all!

This episode will help transform your WEARY with WONDER … as we gaze at grace together, assured that no circumstance is too ordinary or too forgotten for the LORD to meet us there in worship.
