Join me as we set out to ponder with purpose the goodness of God.
A season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward. Rather than begrudge your problem, explore it. Ponder it. And most of all, use it. Use it to the glory of God. ~Max Lucado

As we continue our study of The Screwtape Letters we'll be diving into Chapters 8 and 9 to understand Screwtape's use of the term "trough period" to describe a period of dryness in a believer's faith.

Today we are looking at a line from the fourth chapter of The Screwtape Letters that reads: It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.
What valuable God-ideas are being omitted from your consciousness? Stay alert to the reality that the enemy desperately wants to divide your attention, keeping you distracted, forgetful and negligent of God's ways. Pay attention!

Today I'm celebrating 50 episodes as your host! I'm so excited. This is going to be a great episode! It's so funny, but God will keep saying the same thing through different mouthpieces until His message clicks in our spirits. That's what I hope happens today. Join me as I reflect on and highlight the threads of knowledge that God has woven together through each interview of this last season. It's remarkable that God would see fit to even use humanity at all. How much more beautiful it is when He builds a common, united theme within His body? Let's take note of that message and open our hearts to the voice of the Holy Spirit today. Don't miss this celebration!

How important are your personal goals? Do you value them more than you value being in God's will? Could you surrender your aspirations just because a parent or authority figure says to? What if your own obedience was the greatest obstacle to your success in this life? Join me as we dive into history and explore scripture to understand the challenges and rewards of obedience.
I've been struggling with hope lately. Have you been there? Join me as I'm reminded of the fruits of the Spirit and the roll hope plays in each fruit.
In the 20th episode of A Musing, Heather gets real about her confused view of encouragement and how it began to negatively effect her family. Encouragement does not equal control.

Join me today on A Musing as we purpose to expand our understanding of the armor of God through examination of the priestly garments.
Today we’re studying the Biblical concept of a mantle. Some questions we’ll ask are “What is a spiritual mantle? What examples do we have of mantles in scripture? How does one wear a mantle? Can we still receive a mantle today?” Grab your Bible and a cup o' joe and be ready to listen tonight at 5pm EST/ 4pm CST.
Today we are doing some spiritual laundry sorting. We'll be talking about the risks of continuing to wear our old nature and the hope we gain when we choose to put on salvation. Have your Bible handy and be prepared to do some self-examination.
Love and compassion are a choice. Truth is something we can either cloud over in emotion or seek with all our heart. Today we are talking about the natural leaning of our flesh towards criticism (even of self) and judgement. We'll meditate on scripture and remind ourselves to seek truth in all situations.
Join me as we study the physical and spiritual connection points of a shadow and examine what it means to be in God's likeness.

Join me in Acts 17 as I study Paul's use of the "Unknown God" to create curiosity in the unbeliever. I'll talk about how he helped Athens stumble upon the true God through the use of their secular writers while encouraging you to recognize the influence your own experiences could have on those around you. God has not dismissed your human experience from ministry. It's His desire to use every area of your life for His glory. Will you let Him?
