Bible Reading Tip
- Ask yourself, "Have I seen something like this before?" When you recognize a theme or similar story in the Bible. Then, rest in it. Meditate on it and what God could be saying to you.
In this episode we seek to trace the theme of choosing/fearing God, or choosing evil. From Eve in the garden, to the midwives, to prophets, to Jesus, we see choices for good or evil throughout the Scriptures. And we too have a choice - trust God or trust the snake’s deception.

Can our prayers be selfish and is that a bad thing? Tune in with us to talk about these questions and about a practical example of living out what it means to be a "non-anxious presence."
We’ve all been there. We get a message about something—a new job opportunity, a hospital that wants us to call back, a loved one who says, “We need to talk”—and our mind fills in the blanks. We imagine the best or worst case scenarios and our minds spin. We watch videos on social media or call our friends to discuss every possible outcome rather than operating in trust and peace that God is in control.
Join us as we discuss what it looks like to be a non-anxious presence in a world filled with anxiety.
