When the spirit is at work in your life that means you are hidden in Christ. This doesn't mean you are hidden from all sin. It simply means you are covered by him and hidden within the bounds of his will and way. So much so that it creates in us a desire to be bound by His way and not our own. His box is not confining, it actually is freeing because that is our new home - only in Him.

In this week’s episode, we cover what it truly means to trust the Lord. Surrender looks different in each season. But the heart of surrender is the one whose trust belongs fully to their savior. To let Go and Let God is the goal of the Christian who is after the will of the Lord. We get there by believing that in everything, He is better.

Message from the Porch by Kylen Perry

In this week's episode, we discuss the wedding garment that God gives us to attend His beautiful Wedding Feast. He is Love and life and gives you the greatest invitation to have communion with Himself. This invitation for us now is to be His servants and hand out invitations to all. Not just to the ones who will RSVP yes but to all. He loves all His children so much that He intentionally sent out a handwritten letter to his servants to tell them He wants to dine with them. How intentional is our God!

Hosea shows us that we turn to deeds instead of devotion. We value doing instead of dwelling. We prioritize deeds that we have made idols of instead of deep intimacy with the Father. But Jesus's blood promises us a different story. His blood washes us clean to remove the barrier and allow us to return back into a deep relationship with Him in His freeing presence.

We tend to place a lot of other things on the pedestal of our lives. We elevate people and things to the position where God deserves to be. When we place other things on the pedestal of our lives, we tend to worship them subconsciously. God wants to be put on the proper pedestal because when he is magnified in our lives, His glory shines brighter.

Surrendering control to Jesus becomes easy when you sit with Him. The answer to all the chaos ensuing in your life is not to have all of the answers. The only answer that brings true peace is Jesus. To know that God holds your future is the answer you need to trust. The most beautiful way to get to a place of true understanding of that peace is by sitting with him. In this week's episode I talk about an experience I had with Jesus that changed everything for me. The Lord moved mightily through that experience in my life and I'm blessed to be able to share that experience with you all. Thanks for tuning in :)

We need to realize the weight of Grace. God was, is, and will forever be so good to give us grace that not only displays itself externally but internally. His overwhelming grace helps us not get out of circumstances but recognize that he saved us and walks with us. He has given us everything we could ever need in each day.

New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp

In this week's episode, we talk with Brooke Ledbetter, author of Closer Than A Brother: An Invitation To Cultivate Friendships That Last, about navigating friendship breakups. The sad reality is that friendship breakups happen often, are not often talked about, and can leave both parties feeling stuck in resentment if not handled with the grace of Jesus. She talks about personal testimonies and how to go about navigating a friendship breakup with others, in community, and how to navigate that when you are in the same circle of friends.
