Names of God MINI: Does El Roi See You?

2024/10/03

This verse and this story is a reminder that God sees those who are being abused, subjugated, and sinned against. In Old Testament law looking out for the underprivileged and foreigners were directly tied to blessings, and God promised judgment for abusing them to build up one’s self.

113. Aging in Wisdom with Maryanne Challies Helms

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2024/10/01

If an alien were transplanted to earth, it wouldn't take long scrolling any social media platform to realize humans don't want to age. In fact, they will spend a lot of money not to look like time is passing. I'm encouraged by the way my friend Maryanne talks about how we can age in wisdom when the promise of eternal youth rings hollow. This topic is coming at such an amazing time for me. I'm turning 35 this year, and our season has very much shifted. We went from being the youngest

Names of God MINI: Can Jehovah Rapha Heal You

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2024/09/26

It’s easy to limit how we think of God’s healing power. We jump to physical healing and provision. But The Bible shows us times when God healed physically (2 Kings 5:10), emotionally (Psalm 34:18), mentally (Daniel 4:34), and spiritually (Psalm 103:2–3). Jesus reinforces the idea of holistic healing by doing the same during his ministry.

112. What Happens to Faith When Dreams Die? with Tara...

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2024/09/24

It’s easy to think if we just work hard enough we can get anything we want. The messages of manifesting tell us that if we can dream it we can do it, we just have to want it badly enough. Tara sounds a lot like me when she self-describes as a “control freak." She was chasing her dreams until one day she heard the voice of God saying “You aren’t supposed to be here.” That changed her life. What happened after God spoke to you? What did you do next? How does the “girl boss” movement affect

It also means you are designed to reflect a creative God! When you work and create you’re living out your design. Your work, creation, and worship are all tied together. The daily dishes and sweeping after meals are the work of creating order. If we choose not to rush through our days with scrolls and swipes, then what we do is a reflection of God’s creation of order and is a form of worship.

2024/09/17

I've briefly mentioned before that I had a crisis of faith soon after I had my first baby. I long story short, I threw away my Bible because learning who Jesus really was felt too overwhelming. A few months later God brought Nancy's "Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament" series to my attention. I used that to re-learn what I believed the Bible taught. At the time I wished she had some New Testament resources too. Since then she has written resources on Revelation and now Acts! What

I hope understanding where this name comes from combined with this verse reminds you that you don’t have to sin or pull strings in order to have your needs met by God. He is a shelter for you. As you live in trust that God keeps his promises you live in the nearness of God. According to this verse, you will be close enough to be in his shadow.

Sunshine in my Nest ·

2024/09/10

Living in community with other believers is mentioned in scripture to help us grow in our faith. But culturally we are moving away from it are we losing anything? Why are you so passionate about community that you've chosen to encourage people toward that for so many years? What benefits do believers get from living in a community? What does it look like to live in a community? Does it have to be local, or can people do it online? What do we lose if we don't have an in-person faith

Our grief at death is often overwhelming. It’s because as humans we weren’t created to experience death. We were created to exist in a world of eternal fellowship with God and perfect relationships with others. The fall marred the blueprint for our existence in a horrific way.

2024/09/03

I thought parenting would be easy. I read all the books looking for the perfect formula and became more and more frustrated that I wasn't being given one. I realized with time each child is so individual that even if someone offered me a formula it wouldn't work. I then entered a phase of overwhelm and fear. Has flourishing always defined your family, or was there a time of desperation for you? How does seeing our failures in our kids help us lean more into Jesus? You talk about framing

It’s easy to let our mental growth go on pause. Some of us who loved reading in high school go for years without reading a book. We talk about holding space for our kids to create, learn, and explore, How do we reawaken that desire for ourselves? There’s a concept in Charlotte Mason education that we are to expose our kids to many beautiful things so that their minds have a large room. What areas have you found joy in your continued growth?

We try to DO a lot in life. We live in a culture that finds pride in being "busy." This trickles into our spiritual lives also. Often we don't see the rub until something comes along and knocks our feet out from under us. These end up being acts of grace where we truly understand Jesus' completed work for us. Do you tend to be relaxed or more anxious and tempted by hustle culture? What has Jesus' example in earthly ministry taught you about priorities for our earthly

Kristie is here to talk us into taking a peek into and fall in love with some of these more obscure Old Testament books. How do we answer the question "What's your favorite book of the Bible?"

For many of us doing “quiet time,” “Bible time,” or “Devotions” with our kids feels like an all-or-nothing experience. We have in our mind what we think it should look like, and if we fall short of that we just give up. What impact do parents have on faith? Can they just leave that for Kid’s church? What happens if we try to copy the way other families teach faith? How do we find our family’s why? How do I have that conversation with my husband or wife?

Many are living out the dream of adult life we had as children. Then some days stressor after stressor keeps piling on, until we wondered why this is something we ever even asked for. It can feel especially guilt-inducing when it involves being a parent to our children. The feelings come up with the wish that we could quit motherhood. How do we give ourselves a time-out?
