  • 497 // Beyond Easter: Embracing the Daily Power of Jesus’ Resurrection (Bible Study and Devotional)
    Apr 22 2025

    Hey Sis! 🎙️

    Today’s episode is a heart check and a celebration—a reminder to focus not just on what we present to the world, but the posture of our hearts before God. We dive into Matthew 23 where Jesus challenges the Pharisees on their outward religiosity, and then reflect on Paul’s raw honesty in 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, where he reveals his "thorn" and the sufficiency of God’s grace in weakness.

    Through our final day of our devotional from “Holy Week: Pause. Ponder. Pray.”, we’re reminded that the Resurrection Day celebration isn’t just a moment—it’s a daily reality. If you've been wrestling with personal limitations or feeling worn down by the pressures of life, this episode will encourage you to embrace God's strength in your weakness and praise Him not just on Easter, but every single day.

    📖 Matthew 27:62–66 | The Tomb Is Sealed

    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Welcome to Day 6 of our Holy Week scripture reading from the devotional "Holy Week. Pause. Ponder. Pray."

    Today’s reading is from Matthew 27:62–66, a quiet yet tense moment in the story. Jesus has been laid in the tomb, but the chief priests and Pharisees are still uneasy. They remember His words—and take every precaution to guard what they thought was the end. But we know the story isn't over.

  • 496 // Following Jesus' Example: Embracing Humility and Sharing It in Your Life (Bible Study and Devotional)
    Apr 21 2025

    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Today’s episode is a powerful reminder of God's unwavering presence and strength in our lives. As we reflect on the message of Easter, we’re reminded that Jesus conquered both Hell and the grave—truly the ultimate victory. We’ll dive into our scripture study of 2 Corinthians 12:7-10, where Paul shares his struggles and the profound truth that God’s grace is sufficient for us in our weaknesses. Plus, we’ll be continuing in our devotional “Holy Week, Pause. Ponder. Pray” as we focus on humility, reflecting on how Jesus, the Son of God, made Himself nothing, even to the point of taking to the cross for our sake. This week, let’s embrace the strength we find in our weakness and choose to follow Jesus’ example of humble service. If you’ve been battling fear or doubt, this episode will encourage you to stand firm in the promise that God is with you, strengthening you through every moment.

    Let today be a moment of realignment. Holy Week isn’t about performance—it’s about presence. And Jesus is inviting you to walk with Him, heart and all.

  • Holy Week Scripture Reading: Matthew 27:33-54 ESV
    Apr 18 2025
    📖 Matthew 27:33–54 | The Crucifixion of Jesus

    Hey Sis 🎙️ Welcome to Day 5 of our Holy Week scripture reading from the devotional series, "Holy Week. Pause. Ponder. Pray."

    Today’s reading is from Matthew 27:33–54, a sacred and sobering account of the crucifixion of Jesus. These verses take us to Golgotha, where our Savior bore the weight of our sin and gave His life in love. It’s a passage that humbles us, convicts us, and calls us to remember the cost of grace.

  • 495 // One Heart, One Savior: A Good Friday Reflection on Humility, Devotion, and True Surrender (Bible Study and Devotional)
    Apr 18 2025

    Hey Sis! 🎙️

    Today’s episode is a powerful close to our study of Philippians 2:1–11 and a timely heart check for Good Friday. We’re reminded that Jesus didn’t just model humility—He embodied it. From His divine nature to His servant heart, from surrendering to the cross to being exalted above all, we reflect on how His story calls us to deeper devotion.

    We also dive into our Holy Week: Pause. Ponder. Pray. devotional and look at the sobering example of Judas—how it’s possible to look the part, say the right words, and still betray Jesus with our lives. But Sis, this isn’t a message of condemnation—it’s a call to closeness. It’s a reminder that we don’t serve a Savior who is distant, but One who welcomes all of us, even our mess. If you’ve ever wrestled with the difference between appearance and authentic obedience, this episode will meet you right there—with love, truth, and grace.

    Let today be a moment of realignment. Holy Week isn’t about performance—it’s about presence. And Jesus is inviting you to walk with Him, heart and all.

    📖 Matthew 26:46–70 | Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested

    Hey Sis! 🎙️ Welcome to Day 4 of our Holy Week scripture reading from the devotional series, Pause. Ponder. Pray.

    Today’s reading is from Matthew 26:46–70, where we step into the intense and heartbreaking moments of Jesus’ betrayal and arrest. We hear His words in the garden, watch Judas arrive with a kiss, and follow Jesus as He’s taken before the religious leaders. Even in the chaos, His peace and purpose are unshaken.

  • 494 // How Can You Reflect the Humility of Jesus in Your Daily Life? (Bible Study and Devotional)
    Apr 17 2025

    Hey Sis! 🎙️

    Today’s episode is a powerful reminder of why Jesus is worthy of our devotion, our worship, and our lives. We’re continuing our study of Philippians 2:1–11, focusing on verses 9–11, where we reflect on the exaltation of Christ and the glory due to His name—Jesus, Yeshua, the God who saves. From His humility to His ultimate victory, we’re reminded that His name is above every name, and that one day every knee will bow before Him.

    We also dive into Day 4 of our Holy Week devotional, Holy Week: Pause. Ponder. Pray. by Thistlebend Ministries, where we’re invited to pause and consider the miracle of Jesus’ humility, His incarnation, and His gift of grace.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether your life is reflecting Jesus in your words, responses, or quiet actions—this episode will inspire you to live boldly, humbly, and reflectively in a way that draws others closer to Him. Even when no one speaks up—someone is always watching. Let your life be a reason they look up and see Jesus.
