surrendering to god

Often when we think of denying self, we think of abstaining from things that are obviously “bad.” We need to be aware that there is also a “lust of the flesh” that looks good - it is a desire to be good in our own strength and by our own efforts. We must deny this dependence on the flesh because even though it looks good, it keeps us from dependence on Christ. 

Simply put, to deny self is to look away from self and look to the Lord Jesus Christ. We were made for Him. Our lives don’t work when we live for ourselves. This command is an invitation to turn away from self and all the things that distract us, and enter into the life God made us to live.

Does our behavior define our identity or is our identity supposed to define our behavior? Often we wrestle with our identity in Christ because we still wrestle with old patterns and behaviors. It is paramount to our Christian life that we learn to bring our behavior in line with who we are in Christ. In this episode, Nate and Gabe share that this mentality is a key in learning to walk out the command to Deny Yourself. Denying self is just learning to walk out the reality of who we are in Christ.

Simply put, to deny self is to look away from self and look to the Lord Jesus Christ. We were made for Him. Our lives don’t work when we live for ourselves. This command is an invitation to turn away from self and all the things that distract us, and enter into the life God made us to live.

What does it mean to deny yourself? And what does it look like to deny yourself daily? Listen as Nate and Gabe discuss the freedom that comes when we forget ourselves and our own interests and begin to live for the Lord’s purposes. At the core of this command to “Deny Yourself” is that we learn to say “no” to ourselves and “yes” to Jesus every time.

Simply put, to deny self is to look away from self and look to the Lord Jesus Christ. We were made for Him. Our lives don’t work when we live for ourselves. This command is an invitation to turn away from self and all the things that distract us, and enter into the life God made us to live.

Do you ever hear the words “deny yourself” and interpret them to mean something austere and lifeless? In this episode, Nate and Gabe will challenge you to think about the lifegiving implications of Jesus’ command to Deny Yourself. Where living for self brings bondage, depression, and darkness, you will see that turning from self and following Jesus brings life, and joy and peace.

Simply put, to deny self is to look away from self and look to the Lord Jesus Christ. We were made for Him. Our lives don’t work when we live for ourselves. This command is an invitation to turn away from self and all the things that distract us, and enter into the life God made us to live.

controversial title i know. but He does. 

i recently bought a new macbook air... scary. i didn't want to spend that level of money, i was tight fisted, holding on to my money. but then i realised: it's not my money. it's God's.

i'm a frugal person and my first thoughts when spending money on anything are:

• is it necessary?
• does it harm my saving plans?
• (and the worst one) do i deserve it?

but if i truly sat and got in my word I would discover one thing: God is a God of abundance and He delights in blessing His WORTHY children. 

but i thought i was a sinner not worthy of anything? if you look at yourself in the lens of the enemy, you will see that, but if you look at yourself in the lens of Christ, you'll see the opposite. it's time to reframe your mind and let God show you how valuable you are and how much you deserve things that bring you value.

This time, they focus on the "emotional circle," discussing how emotions are intertwined with our beliefs. They examine the ways our emotions can inform us about how we are developing our beliefs, the importance of surrendering them to God, and viewing them as insights into our life's approach. This episode promises to shed light on understanding and harnessing your emotions to deepen your discipleship journey. Tune in for an insightful discussion that could transform your spiritual understanding and growth.

welcome to journey companions ministries

Developing communities of grace that care for the souls of others.

Journey Companions exists to help develop communities of grace that care for the souls of others, which results in spiritual deepening led by the Holy Spirit.

The evidence of this is men and women who are being transformed and are intent on building missional communities that reflect Christ’s love to lost people. (Acts 2:42)

We see ourselves as companions along the journey toward transformational, missional communities and deeper, more personal individual relationships with Jesus.

We come alongside people in existing relationships, whether churches or community groups, leadership teams or families, to offer training in Soul Care and doing the “one anothering” of the Bible. We as a team have tasted what it means to be in authentic, gospel rich community, and we want to share that taste with others.

Learning to Love the Master Book

This week, Brady is joined by host of Real Men Talk Podcast, Anthony Curnutt, to talk about the lies men are told and what true biblical masculinity looks like.

Anthony and Brady delve deeply into the transformative power of surrendering to God and the significance of apologizing for wrong-doing. They underscore the importance of treating our loved ones with respect and love, and the profound influence our actions can have on our children's future relationships. Anthony further elaborates on the essentiality of emotional leadership in fatherhood, underscoring the role of understanding our emotions in shaping our beliefs. 

Anthony and Brady navigate through the complexities of creating a safe space for men to express their vulnerabilities and the importance of supporting each other in our struggles. They also touch on the need for modeling forgiveness and repentance in our relationships, and the realization that our identity lies firmly in Jesus Christ, not in our own strength. In the challenging journey through life, the pair discuss how it still remains a choice to follow God and how our challenging circumstances can reveal the true nature of our hearts. Join us for this enlightening discussion; it's a conversation you won't want to miss.

As Christians, we can often keep ourselves in bondage by trying to control our lives, but when we surrender, Christ offers us freedom.

We will discuss:

• practical steps to letting go of control
• strategies
• biblically rich insight for letting go of control and moving forward in faith

I would imagine there is someone listening today who struggles with control and fully trusting God in every area of their lives. Our guest today, Tara Sun author of the book, Surrender Your Story: Ditch the Myth of Control and Discover Freedom in Trusting God, knows very well the burdensome and ultimately empty myth of control. She will share with us how to surrender it all to God to experience lives filled with joy, peace, and meaning.

This podcast is for everyone. Guest Rhyll Croshaw has had vast experience establishing and maintaining boundaries and helping women all over the world do the same. She applies the process of setting boundaries and surrendering to God to all family relationships and aspects of life. 

Setting boundaries with a spouse, child, or relative enables us to have real power over the chaos that can sometimes occur in marriage and family relationships and creates safety for those involved. When we don’t have boundaries, we risk being controlled and manipulated. Boundaries foster respectful and emotionally healthy relationships which can generate more joy and peace in our homes, and empower us to love ourselves and others more.

If you have struggled with setting boundaries in your marriage or have struggled with the effects of pornography in your home. I suggest reading Rhyll Croshaw’s book, “What can I do about Him? Me?” It is a great resource to help you find tools to overcome the effects of pornography in marriage and to find healing for yourself and your marriage. You can find it at: https://salifeline.org/. Also salifeline.org can be a game changer for those with these kind of challenges.

Pastor Luke, Joel Kobosh and Paul Sanders discuss God’s challenge to Israel, “Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me (Malachi 3:6-12)?” along with personal examples of how we can learn to give regularly and generously to our church. 
Some Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 9:6-8; Philippians 4:10-20

God doesn't need our striving, He just needs our surrender. Many times we believe God needs our ways and plans, but God's ways are always better than our ways. As we surrender our agendas to God, we allow Him to do what only He can do.
