    I just felt like sharing a real moment of grace, redemption, and sweetness. Joined me as I talk about the struggle of being the disciplinarian verse the safe place. Sometimes one must lose.

    Sep 21 2024

    Send us a text

    We've been told to love the Church. We've been told love is not a feeling. Join James as he dives into Scripture to see what the Word has to say on this highly debated issue. What does Jesus and the Bible actually say on the matter?

    Ephesians 5:25-32
    1 Peter 4:8-10
    John 11: 32-35

  • E37: We're not taking applications: Why we stop adding friends
    Sep 1 2024

    Send us a text

    Join James as he dives into why we stop making friends later in life. Is it because we have our core 4? Or are we afraid to risk it... again? After many years of using the mantra "We must be a Safe Place", James is still digging into why it's so hard to do this. After experiencing a powerful online community, he has some new insight. We hope you find it helpful!

  • E36: What is the purpose of the local Church?
    Aug 25 2024

    Send us a text

    If you're anything like me, you struggle with Church. Maybe you have some church hurt from poor leadership, gossip, money grubbing, or the barrage of other ways sinful people mess up what God intended for good. I'm not here to tell you to join a church, but I am here to tell you not to do it alone. The local Church just happens to be the most convenient way to do that. So let's take a look in the Word and see what God desires our gathering to look like.

    Scripture:
    -Hebrews 10:24-25
    -1 Corinthians 12:12, 14:23-26

  • E35: Let Him father you.
    Aug 7 2024

    Send us a text

    As humans, we are well acquainted with disappointment in others. Maybe even our own Dad's. What if we truly let God father us? In the midst of an imperfect life with imperfect people who love us imperfectly, can we let Him fill the gap? Do you believe He can? Does your soul need restoration... or just... rest?

    Join James as he shares some hurt, and hang-ups, but chooses to turn it back to The Lord. There is a power there that your heart desperately needs to feel complete.

    Verses:
    -Mark 2:27
    -Matthew 11:28-30
    -Exodus 20:5, 34:14
    -Deuteronomy 32:35-36

  • E34: I was preaching to myself!
    Jul 30 2024

    Send us a text

    James recalls a recent story of encouraging another, while feeling as though he was preaching to himself. We do this don't we? The Spirit is gracious to remind us of verses for the edification of the body... but often ourselves as well.

    Verses:
    -1 Peter 3:18-20 & 4:8
    -Hosea 14:3
    -Psalm 119:11
    -John 13:35
    -Revelation 12:11
    -Matthew 15:8-9

  • E33: You are a valuable part of the body!
    Jul 20 2024

    Send us a text

    James recounts some discouragement, isolation attempts from the enemy, and how to push through it. It is easy to feel devalued when you feel like an island. Press into Jesus when this happens, stay a part of the body, and God will surprise you! You are a valuable part of the body of Christ... but sometimes that means you feel different than others. That's ok. God made you that way!

  • E32: What is Spiritual Warfare? Pt.2
    Jul 17 2024

    Send us a text

    These 2 episodes were first called "what is spiritual warfare?" due to the nature of Satan's involvement. However, this one particularly speaks to the divisive nature of the Enemy. James digs into speaking life into each others differences. We must stop tearing down the church. We call out false gospel's, and speak truth to lies always, but we cannot deny the power of 1 Pet. 4:8, to love deeply the harder it gets. Therefore, spiritual warfare, and seeking unity among His people are very, very closely linked. We hope you enjoy it and feel encouraged. You are not alone, no matter how much Satan wants you to think you are.
