This is the second part of the discussion Katie Lewis from Bountiful Living and I have about what we can learn about suffering from the book of Job and the Bible.

James1:2-4
2Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
 
John 16:33b
"In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

Job 13:15
Though he slay me, I will hope in him;
yet I will argue my ways to his face

Jess welcomes her very good friend Katie Lewis from Bountiful Living to discuss the book of Job and how we as Christians can take truths from it to help us in our own suffering. We talk about what it would take to say, "no matter what happens to me, I will put my trust in the Lord."

Job 1:21
And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Welcome Back! Jess has been off for the last month recovering from sickness and con crunch! In this episode she talks about how people weaponize scripture, using condemnation to manipulate people to fit their agenda. She talks about the proper way Jesus shows us to talk with fellow believers when in sin, and to always use the model of patience, gentleness and love when correcting someone. She also talks about when we are falsely accused of things that are not true.

Condemnation leads to fear, shame and death
Conviction leads to repentance and life 

Matthew 18:15-17
15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hebrews 1:1-4

New Living Translation

Jesus Christ Is God’s Son

1 Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2 And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. 3 The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. 4 This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.

2 Corinthians 5:17-21

New Living Translation

17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,[a] so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

Jess catches up on the last month of holiday craziness and talks about the season we are in with Christmas just a few weeks away. There is a time for everything under the sun as the scripture in Ecclesiastes says, so let's try to make this time the season for joy, dancing and laughing!

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2     a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3     a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,

4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6     a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7     a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8     a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

This week I have a special guest Dr Andrew K. Fox from Cultural Clarity with me to talk about how we as Christians should approach a Holiday like Halloween and other celebrations through the guidance of the Word of God. 

1 Corinthians 13:6
"Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth."

Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

"I love to teach, engage, lecture, debate, and educate. I love to help people think and learn. I love it when people become inspired to think for themselves. It’s like waking a giant!"

Jess talks about last weekend at VisionCon in Springfield MO


Psalms 136:1-3
1Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness (graciousness, mercy, compassion) endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Jess talks about her latest builds and digs into 2 Peter 1:5-8. She goes to the Greek roots words of these scriptures to see how Peter shows us to be useful and fruitful for the Kingdom of God. 

2 Peter 1:3-11

Growth in the Faith

3 His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by[d] His own glory and goodness. 4 By these He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, 6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, 7 godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins. 10 Therefore, brothers, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble. 11 For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

Today Jess gets to speak with a special guest Stephanie hodges about her book Daniel Fast Journey.  We cover the how's and whys of why Christians should fast, and the benefits of caring for yourself body mind and soul.

to set the oppressed free
    and break every yoke?

She's Back! Jess talks about how Paul showed us in 1 Corinthians  3 to be servants of Jesus working together that will build something that will last.

1 Corinthians 3:5-17
The Role of God’s Servants

5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 Now the one planting and the one watering are one in purpose, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s coworkers.[a] You are God’s field, God’s building. 10 According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on that foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 each one’s work will become obvious, for the day[b] will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire; the fire will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If anyone’s work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, it will be lost, but he will be saved; yet it will be like an escape through fire.[c]

16 Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s sanctuary and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s sanctuary, God will destroy him; for God’s sanctuary is holy, and that is what you are.

John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise—dwell on these things.
