Vespertinal
Why does God let bad things happen to good people? Because of sin. But, that doesn't mean God abandons His people through the bad times.
The kingdom of God is at hand! I know the time is coming soon when Jesus will return for His bride, but until then, I just want to remember how faithful God is to keep his promises. Let us be faithful too then, shall we?
The time is near when Jesus will return. I've been diving into Matthew 24 and Revelation 6 to grow in understanding about what's coming and what we have to look forward to as followers of Christ. I hope you'll appreciate these insights and take these thoughts to heart, pondering them for yourself.Prophecy Pros podcast: https://spotify.link/HCBsY4ZZUDb
If you can't guess what this is about, maybe you've been living further under a rock than I have, which is really saying something.

We're in this world, but we're not called to live of it. We're called to live for Christ. For more thoughts on this topic, listen here for the latest Simply Pondering Podcast!
Who are you? Do you even know who you are? Are you who you want to be? Are you becoming who you want to be? Am I repeating myself here? No, but I probably will in this pondering...
Hey, do you fall short of who God wants you to be and what he wants you to do? Yeah, me too. This is kind of just a reminder that we're all screwed up, but I'm gonna add that we should also be willing to admit when we mess up. I mean, you never know who's watching...
Kids are often told to enjoy their childhood while it lasts, but are they being provided the space, time, and resources to do so? Or are they growing up in an environment that is pushing them to always be busy and grow up faster than they're ready for?
After reading Make Me Like Jesus by Michael Phillips, I was inspired to contemplate the question, "What does it look like to live like Jesus?" Here's some of my (and Phillips') thoughts on the matter.
A vast, broad, general synopsis of my latest thoughts on the Christian life. Definitely a springboard for conversations to come.

I'm stressed. You're stressed. We're all stressed. In this episode, you can probably hear the stress and exhaustion of where I'm at today.

I'm pulling from and focusing on a lot of what Romans has to say here, but I think it's important to answering this question. I'm not perfect. You're not perfect. But we can still be devoted to God despite these things. So, here's some thoughts by Paul and myself. But doesn't it sometimes feel like we're expected, or even called, to be perfect based on the law? Like there's expectations we can't meet?

Warning: the following contains various random thoughts about the Church as a whole, Christianity, and God and Jesus that you may or may not agree with or want to hear. And I've got more thoughts too... I also definitely was walking around outside, in the cold, with a heavy backpack so, don't mind the background noise... (and if you do mind it, you can just turn the podcast off).
We all want and need to have people in our lives we can turn to. We all desire community. I've been pondering what people are and are not looking for in community, and how we can build the kind of community that we seek. Just some of my thoughts, but I'd love to hear yours!

More to come? Perhaps...
