It’s a new year and a new episode of the All Consuming Grace Podcast, and Paul and Rebecca Turner turn their attention to Luke 19 and the familiar yet often overlooked events of the Triumphal Entry.

Rather than focusing solely on the crowd or the King riding into Jerusalem, this episode zooms in on the people involved—especially the two unnamed disciples Jesus sent to retrieve a colt. Their simple, unquestioning obedience becomes the centerpiece of a powerful challenge: be a “horse thief.”

These men acted with humble obedience to Jesus’ word, even when the instruction seemed strange, uncomfortable, or risky. Their obedience mattered. It impacted others. It stirred excitement. And it ultimately served the glory of God.

But not everyone celebrated. As always, there were those who were bothered—those who preferred “the way things have always been done.” Paul and Rebecca explore how this tension still exists within Christianity today, where humble obedience can unsettle the comfortable and expose the resistance of the so-called “normies.”

This episode calls believers to examine their own response to God’s Word. Obedience may be terrifying to some, but it is always transformative. When we humbly obey, God is glorified, lives are changed, and God's work moves forward.

Will you stay safe within the norm—or will you be obedient enough to "steal a horse" for Jesus?

In Part 3 of our December series on Peace, Paul and Rebecca Turner turn to Philippians 4 to address a reality every believer knows well—life often feels like a meat grinder. The pressure, noise, conflict, responsibilities, and anxieties of this world have a way of pulling us in and wearing us down. Yet in the middle of that grinding, God offers something the world cannot: His peace.

This episode carefully walks through the process the Apostle Paul lays out for experiencing the fullness of the peace of God—a peace that is not accidental, emotional, or circumstantial, but intentional, rooted, and guarded by Christ Himself.

Paul and Rebecca begin by reminding listeners that peace starts with perspective. When our citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), our eyes must remain fixed on Christ rather than the chaos around us. From there, believers are called to stand fast in the Lord (Philippians 4:1), refusing to be moved by pressure, opposition, or confusion.

The conversation then turns to the importance of knowing God’s Word and handling it rightly—understanding truth in its proper context (Philippians 4:2). Peace erodes when truth is misunderstood or misapplied, but it flourishes when God’s Word anchors our thinking. This grounding allows believers to stay focused on the work God has placed before them and the people He has placed around them to minister to (Philippians 4:3), rather than becoming consumed by distractions or personal conflicts.

From there, Paul and Rebecca emphasize the call to rejoice in the Lord always (Philippians 4:4)—not because life is easy, but because Christ is faithful. True peace flows from joy that is anchored in the Lord, not circumstances. That joy is meant to be visible, as believers allow their identity in Christ to be evident to others through gentleness, consistency, and grace (Philippians 4:5).

The episode then addresses one of the greatest enemies of peace: worry. Rather than carrying anxiety, believers are invited to release it—to let God deal with what is beyond their control (Philippians 4:6). This surrender leads naturally into prayer, where every concern is brought before God, trusting Him to work according to His wisdom and timing.

As this process unfolds, Paul and Rebecca point listeners to the promise at the heart of Philippians 4—that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Even in a world that feels like a relentless grinder, God provides a peace that protects, sustains, and steadies His people.

This episode offers both encouragement and practical biblical guidance for anyone longing to experience real peace—not as a fleeting feeling, but as a daily reality in Christ.

In episode two of our Christmas series on peace, Paul and Rebecca Turner turn our attention to the most essential peace of all—peace with God. Long before the angels sang, peace was shattered in the Garden of Eden when sin entered the world, creating a separation no human effort could repair.

This episode traces the connection between the Babe in the manger and the Man on the cross, reminding us that Christmas cannot be fully understood apart from Calvary. Jesus was born as Peace incarnate so that, through His death, burial, and resurrection, sinners could be reconciled to a holy God.

Paul and Rebecca explore how the angelic announcement of peace was not sentimental or symbolic, but deeply redemptive—declaring that the way back to God had arrived. As we continue toward Christmas, this episode invites listeners to move beyond the scene of the stable and embrace the Savior who came to restore what was lost, offering lasting peace with God through faith in Christ alone.
