What if life's biggest need isn't a quick fix? It’s easy to get caught up in wanting things *now*. But what if the deepest longing is for something more? What if it is a sense of peace that comes from within? Feeling like you're never enough? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t outrun guilt or find peace with God? In this message from Hebrews 10, we explore why all the sacrifices in the world - not bulls, goats, rituals, or even good deeds - could never do what Jesus did. This isn’t just theology; it’s the answer to your deepest need: to be fully justified, fully clean, and fully free.

Let’s talk about shadows, sacrifices, and the Savior who stretched out His arms to cover it all.

Today we're diving into something truly heart-changing. Have you ever wondered what our greatest need is, especially during these crazy, chaotic times? Spoiler alert: it's not more laws or policies. It's actually about getting a brand new heart! ❤️

Join us as we explore how true reconciliation isn't just about playing nice, but it's about something much deeper and more divine. We're on a journey through Hebrews 8, discovering how God's promises transform us from the inside out. So grab your Bibles because this passage reveals how we can all experience a miraculous heart change that'll leave us feeling truly hopeful. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this!

We're diving into some deep waters today as we explore the book of Hebrews together. Remember seven years ago when we first tackled Hebrews? Well, we're back! It's like catching up with an old friend. Today, we're tackling some of the most challenging yet beloved passages in the Bible. Hold on tight, because spiritual growth isn't for the faint-hearted, but it's oh-so-rewarding!

This episode focuses on leaving behind spiritual infancy and pressing on to maturity. We all start off as spiritual babies – that's normal! But as we grow, we need to move forward, beyond just the basics, and really embrace the deeper truths that lead to a fuller life in Christ. It's about trusting God to carry us forward – kind of like stepping off the high dive, even if the pool below looks miles away.

If you're feeling stuck or finding yourself asking, "Have I done enough?" this discussion is for you. We're talking about not just going through motions or treating our faith lightly, but really living it out, letting it transform us deeply. Dive in with us as we explore the exciting, sometimes daunting journey to maturity, ever clinging to the hope and assurance in Jesus.

This is such a challenging passage I included it in my "So Glad You Asked" series. Read that blog post here

And, as always, subscribe, follow, connect...all the things! I'm excited to grow this podcast and engage with you!

Here we are at the conclusion of our study through Joshua. In this closing message we'll explore covenant faithfulness, the challenges of serving the Lord, and the timeless call to choose whom we will serve. I think you'll be encouraged and strengthened as you listen and review these final moments of Joshua and see with new eyes the story of conquest, covenant, and the unwavering promises of God. This is a heartfelt call to live a life of devoted service and allegiance to our Creator. Your heart will be inspired to cling, serve, and remember the everlasting faithfulness of God!

What does it mean to truly possess the faith that God calls us to live out, not just the easy parts, but the deeply transformative walk of obedience?

Through the lives of Caleb, Achsa, and Joshua, we discover the unyielding faith it takes to claim our spiritual inheritance amidst life's giants and uncertainties. But more than that, we're unraveling how God places us intentionally in our life's geography, blending our stories with His purpose.

This isn't just history; this is about your story too. Are you ready to trace your spiritual map and uncover how God's promises unfold in your life? Let's talk about finding rest, joy, and a divine purpose in the place you've been planted. And if you're feeling weary, remember, Jesus is our ultimate city of refuge, welcoming us into a safe haven of grace and transformation. 💞

Ever feel like you’re standing on the edge of something God promised but hesitating to step forward? You’re not alone. In Joshua 10-14, we see battles won, prayers so bold they stopped the sun, and an unlikely group—the Gibeonites—who secured a covenant with God by accident.

💭 Key Quote: “The battle has already been won. The question isn’t if God is faithful. The question is, will we have the courage to claim what He has given?”

From Joshua’s sun-stand-still prayer to Caleb’s “Give me this mountain” faith, this message will challenge you to:

✅ Pray bold, audacious prayers

✅ Step into victory like it’s already yours (because it is!)

✅ Stop waiting for “good enough” and claim what God has promised

And yes—there’s even a Spongebob reference. Because biblical truth is best served with a side of humor. 😆
