Join Shelli as she breaks down scripture and personal testimony to show us how scripture is real, relevant and relatable.

So much can change in a single year. Plans shift. Roles change. What once felt significant may suddenly feel empty. In this episode, we unpack a downward stretch, the holy tension where God begins redefining what truly matters.

We talk about community and unity, success versus significance, and the realization that survival and achievement alone will never satisfy the soul. When “it’s not working” anymore and we’re tired of just keeping our head above water, God often invites us to surrender, not strive.

Through Scripture, reflection, and honest evaluation, we explore what it means to live a life that outlasts us. From Moses the murderer to Moses the leader… from David the shepherd to David the king—God is not afraid of changing our plans when it leads to purpose.

This episode challenges you to examine:

• What you’re building professionally, personally, physically, mentally, and spiritually

• Who is shaping your life?

• Where your trust truly lies when God changes the plan

Because things will not outlast us, but faith will.

And in the end, one thing remains.

Emmanuel: God With Us (Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow)

At Christmas, we often celebrate the story—but do we live in the reality of His presence?

In this episode, we unpack the powerful truth behind the name Emmanuel—God with us—not as a memory or a moment, but as a present-tense promise. From fulfilled prophecy to the supernatural faith required to believe the Christmas story, we’re reminded that we don’t serve a distant God or a seasonal Savior. We serve a God who came near, dwelled among sinners, and still lives within us today.

We’ll explore:

• Why presence matters more than preference

• The fulfillment of prophecy in Jesus’ birth

• What it truly means to believe in the supernatural

• Emmanuel as God with us then, now, and forever

• Why God is who He is—not who we want Him to be

Jesus didn’t just come to be admired, He came to save His people from their sins. And He is still with us.

If you’ve ever celebrated His birth but forgotten His nearness, this episode is for you.
