Life can get really busy, but we are reminded that when we live with a Kingdom pace we not only have time to grow more, ourselves but to also grow closer to our creator.
Kingdom Pace is a podcast about the ways we can make sure we are not running ahead, but rather staying right where we are supposed to be in life.
The Kingdom Pace podcast focuses on seven aspects modeled by Jesus:
Posture Priority Prayer Purpose Perseverance Petition Praise
Your hosts are Mark Moyer and Jessica Pape.
Part 2 of our podcast on sanctification. Last week we did a bird's eye view of sanctification and today we dig into the how-to application of ways you can grow in sanctification.
Conversion>>Commitment>>Confession
We are digging into what it means to go through the process of sanctification. Do you know what you are looking for?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back!!
We had a bit of a hiatus and we are back and excited to bring you a whole new season with a concept called S.E.E.D. This episode will give you an introduction to how this was developed, what it looks like in our lives, and gives a glimpse of what this season will cover. Get ready for a breakdown, a deep dive, and for your pace in life to be transformed and given new life and growth!
Life is all about seasons. In this episode, Jessica gives a quick update on what’s to come this summer and shares a quick reminder on staying on pace with Jesus.
Episode 26 starts looking at God's pace in everything, including creation! The fact that He is unchanging, always faithful, and completely steadfast gives us the hope and the model we need to stay on pace. It might seems easier said than done, but there are practical ways to stay right on with Jesus.
Genesis 1:1-2- "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."
Episode 25 focuses on God's sovereignty and Psalm 23! God is good, faithful, and His love and compassion are never ending. If you need some peace in your life, this episode is for you.
Psalm 23:6- "Surely your goodness and love with follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
Scriptures covered in this episode:
Psalm 32

In episode 24, Mark and Jessica discuss what it looks like to seek rest and unpack where it can be found. Seek and you shall find, indeed!
This week in episode 23 we continue our discussion on rest and what it looks like in real life with a family. Jessica's husband, Paul, joins for a candid conversation on how this plays out and looks in their life.
Episode 22 has us looking at different passages to determine what it means to truly rest, what burdens Jesus asks us to carry, and how boundaries play a role in all of it. If you feel like you have been carrying a lot lately, we pray this conversation and passages will help to lean into Jesus even more.

Kingdom Pace returns with a look at Psalm 119. In episode 21 Mark and Jessica talk about the power of God's Word and how it can lead us to rest rather than worry.

In this episode, Mark challenges James and Jessica to describe the color red to someone who is blind. What is God trying to describe to you that you're unwilling to see... that you're blind to?

In episode 18, we focus on how God gives us our true identity, not the identity we strive to create for ourselves.
We discuss:
- What is that you're holding onto that keeps you from persevering (aka, going through life with Jesus). What idols do you place before Jesus? Kids? Career? Money?
- When we try to carry too much it keeps us from living the best life. In episode 18 we discuss how Jesus helps us persevere by lightening our load, by setting the pace and through his grace.
- How can you not win every battle if you remember who you are in Him? When we forget who we are, that's when we lose to the enemy.
In this episode we focus on Purpose and our discussion revolves around how using Jesus as a model for being intentional and focused can keep you living in the right pace. Jesus was never in conflict about his priorities, nor was He ever not on mission. What a glorious example to model!
PURPOSE
MATTHEW 6:34 | ROMANS 11:36 | MATTHEW 28:18-20 | JAMES 1:19-27 | 1 PETER 2:5-8
Jesus taught to focus on today because tomorrow has enough worry of its own. Your purpose is to love God with all of our heart, your mind, your soul and your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
REFLECTION
Who is God asking you to share His love with and what is He asking of you today? Share with God what is overflowing from Your heart.

PRAYER
LUKE 11:2-13 | MATTHEW 6:9-14 | ROMANS 8:26-28 | 2 CHRONICALS 6:40 | MATTHEW 6:6 Jesus provided us a model for prayer. (Matthew 6:9-14).
Prayer is our communion with God. With reverence we recognize and respect His authority and holiness. (9) We acknowledge His sovereignty in all things and that He alone is our provider and sustainer. (10-11) We confess our need for forgiveness as we forgive those who have sinned against us. (12) Finally, we ask God for guidance so that we yield to the Holy Spirit and not yield to temptation or to the evil one. (13)
REFLECTION
The importance of this prayer is your daily commune with Jesus. Jesus is your "daily bread" and in Him you have everything you need for this day. His provision & His presence is your blessing and your reward. As you reflect on this prayer, share the overflow of your heart with Him.
"Pressure in life always reveals your posture." (Mark Moyer)
In Episode 15, we explore the story of Mary and Martha's relationship and their posture when they met Jesus. Jessica, Mark and James discuss real life situations where our posture stops focusing on Jesus and how we can move back toward Him.
POSTURE
PHILIPPIANS 2:3-5 | PROVERBS 4:23-27 | PHILIPPIANS 2:7-8 | MATTHEW 10:38-39 | PROVERBS 3:5-8 | GALATIANS 5:22-26 1 JOHN 2:16
Your posture is your position before Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior. Every day, you need to take into consideration the condition of your heart and the fullness of our soul.
Are you in alignment with Him? What is your posture?
Your posture should allow you to be filled with Him, but it is imperative that you take inventory of yourself each day, each time you come before Him. Evaluate your posture and be aware of what things you may be placing ahead of Jesus, as well as things that may be holding you back. Work at being real and vulnerable with Him so your posture is one that is ready to receive.
REFLECTION
What is your posture before Jesus on this day? Are there things you need Him to empty you of or free you from? Are you experiencing the fruits of the Spirit? Are you battling fear, pride, or lust in your soul?
Pause and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into the truth to reveal the posture of your heart and soul before God. Share the overflow of your heart with Jesus as the Holy Spirit guides you.
Surrender. Diminish. Give up control. So why do we struggle to do these things more? Where, when and how do you most deeply connect with God? Have you found absolute peace within Him?
In episode 14, Jessica, Mark and James bring these ideas and questions to the table.
If you have questions, suggestions or want to give us feedback, you can send James an email to 'coach@jamesmayhew.com'.

PRAISE
PSALM 63 | PSALM 148 | LUKE 19:40
What needs have you had that God has met? What prayers has he answered or how has he revealed to you who He is in your life?
God is working when we see it and when we don’t see it. Consider the ways that he is working for you in the temporary as well as eternally. God created us to worship Him and he gives us ways to praise Him every day. In fact, even if we don't praise him, His Word says that the stones will burst out in praise. Even if you feel like you are in a season of sorrow, God gives himself. He in Himself is goodness and love, and faithful and true.
REFLECTION
How can you praise Him for who He is and what He is doing?
In episode 13, Jessica opens with a challenging question about what it means to truly petition God. What happens when you feel stuck in your effort to petition God for significant things? How do you petition God for things that we can’t even imagine?
Lord, are my prayers bold enough?
PETITION
PHILIPPIANS 4:6 | MATTHEW 7:7 | LUKE 11:9 | DANIEL 9:3 |1 JOHN 5:15 | PSALM 37:4
What do you need to bring before the Kingdom of God that is beyond your ability to achieve or receive? We pray to commune with God in fellowship with Him, but we petition God to call on Him to do what only He can.
REFLECTION
Search your heart and place your petitions before Jesus Christ and thank Him for His answer.
On episode 12, Kreg Tjelmeland joins Jessica, Mark and James to share an incredible story of perseverance and how God brought him through one of the most challenging business decisions he's ever had to make!
2 PETER 1:3-6 | JAMES 1:3 | 2 PETER 1:12-13 | PSALM 1 | ROMANS 12:12
The entire Christian life is defined by overcoming and being victorious over the power and pressures of sin in this world. Today you will encounter a trial, tribulation or distraction of some kind. Some days are more intense than others.
The trials, tribulations, and distractions from the world, because of your faith, should lead you to rejoice.
The trials, tribulations and distractions caused by your sin should lead you to repent. To persevere, you must be free from the weight and bondage of sin.
REFLECTION
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any unconfessed or unrecognized sin and receive God's grace and mercy so that you can serve Him victoriously today. Remember, truth always leads to freedom!
"They left it all on the field" is a sports metaphor about what it means to give it your all. No excuses. No regrets. Just knowing you lived the day fully. In episode 11, Jessica, Mark and James discuss what it means to live each day fully.
MATTHEW 6:34 | ROMANS 11:36 | MATTHEW 28:18-20 | JAMES 1:19-27 | 1 PETER 2:5-8
Jesus taught to focus on today because tomorrow has enough worry of its own. Your purpose is to love God with all of our heart, your mind, your soul and your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.
REFLECTION
Who is God asking you to share His love with and what is He asking of you today? Share with God what is overflowing from Your heart.

There's something supernatural that happens when we seek God first; the way He reshapes our minds. He reminds us that He's the one that gives people their gifts. He takes all of the chaos and brings it to order, no matter what's going on.

Our posture is our position before Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Every day, we need to take into consideration how our heart is and the fullness of our soul. Are we aligned with Him? Our posture as we empty ourselves should be one that allows us to be filled with Him but it is imperative that we take inventory of ourselves each day, each time we come before Him, to evaluate our posture, be aware of what fleshly constructs may be holding us back, and be real and vulnerable with Him so our posture is one that is ready to receive.
What is your posture before Jesus on this day? Are there things you need Him to empty you of or free you from? Are you experiencing the fruits of the Spirit? Are you battling fear, pride, or lust in your soul?
