It’s easy to think about the hard things that COULD happen to us. That often leads to overwhelming anxiety. But this verse promises (and I’ve found to be true) that when the hard times come the hope of Christ’s work to defeat death meets us with supernatural peace. We can rest knowing that nothing takes God by surprise, and he is with us in the trials and will provide us with peace when they come.

Because he lived, died, and resurrected we can face our trials and even have the option of faith resulting from it! But here is the best part. You don’t have to squeeze out fruit on your own. You don’t have to muster enough faith to produce fruit. Our fruit is an extension of his work and flows from him through us.

For me, the new year feels like it starts in November, so it feels appropriate to have this conversation now. Every October my new planner arrives at the perfect time in October, so I can get started thinking through my new year! By late December I’m way too tired to be objective.
Why is planning important? I’ve talked to people before about how I plan and they look at me like I’m a three-headed monster.
Thinking about time in seasons
What is your favorite question to intentionally ask yourself before a new season? How to decide what is lifegiving.
We see time as a gift that we choose how we use it.
What’s the hardest part of planning? How to hold plans loosely!

A sacrifice of praise is shifting the heart’s position to recognize you don’t create the good in your own life and that good things don’t come to you by luck, attraction, or manifesting. All good is given to you by God. When you choose to do something, even pleasurable for the right reasons, or recognize your own story in the middle of God's bigger story.

Discover the unique way God created you to connect most deeply with Him!
I love a good personality test. Seeing who we are as individuals in light of the whole community has really helped me kick some of my comparison tendencies.
I took the test and absolutely no one will be surprised I got "Word Nerd"
Can you tell us what all of the options are? Which one are you?
How does knowing our type bring freedom and joy to our relationship with Jesus?
What are some things that tend to rob us of joy?
Have you had a phase where your faith "Joy" was zapped? How did your joy in the Lord become restored?

No matter how dark life gets, we give thanks that he has entered our darkness and brought the light of hope. This is why we eat in remembrance of him. The world is broken. Things were not as they should be, and yet Christ entered it to make a way to restore us back to himself. He was broken in the place of the brokenness we encounter, so the hope he is can be ours. So take heart and remember Christ’s body broken for you.

The food and traditions our families have are so important. Jesus told stories and disciples around the table with his followers. You may noticed there are so many themed cookbooks that are out there to inspire and disciple us into things like "The World of Hogwarts" or "Gillmore Girls." Trillia has done something really neat. She's taken the stories of Black heroes of faith and combined it with discipleship and mouth-watering recipes! To make learning history a joy!
How have stories of your family and how food has played a role in that?
I come from a different culture. You've said, "Knowledge doesn't equal understanding." But how does taking time to dive into things that bring joy give better understanding?
It's wild so many kids hate history. How have you used food to change that for your family?Do you have some favorite heroes of faith? How have they impacted you?
How have you found food drawing people in, especially your kids? How do we use that for discipleship?I've linked Trillia's book "Celebrate Around the Table" and you can find her HERE on Instagram.

Life takes a lot of twists and turns that we don't see coming. What we do with those and how we spend our moments is how we spend our lives.

This verse and this story is a reminder that God sees those who are being abused, subjugated, and sinned against. In Old Testament law looking out for the underprivileged and foreigners were directly tied to blessings, and God promised judgment for abusing them to build up one’s self.

If an alien were transplanted to earth, it wouldn't take long scrolling any social media platform to realize humans don't want to age. In fact, they will spend a lot of money not to look like time is passing. I'm encouraged by the way my friend Maryanne talks about how we can age in wisdom when the promise of eternal youth rings hollow.
This topic is coming at such an amazing time for me. I'm turning 35 this year, and our season has very much shifted. We went from being the youngest wherever we went to now moms with just toddlers asking me what it was like parenting for me when my kids were "little." I feel like I had come to terms with that, but I still very much feel myself freaking out.
What encouragement would you have for me or women my age? When you look in the mirror... not how have you changed, but rather how has the way you've seen yourself changed over the years?
What have your 40s revealed about what is important? How does it reveal who we are becoming when things we once defined ourselves by are stripped away?
I think many people fear the way their marriage will shift as they get older. How have you seen marriage change as you and your husband have aged?

It’s easy to limit how we think of God’s healing power. We jump to physical healing and provision. But The Bible shows us times when God healed physically (2 Kings 5:10), emotionally (Psalm 34:18), mentally (Daniel 4:34), and spiritually (Psalm 103:2–3). Jesus reinforces the idea of holistic healing by doing the same during his ministry.

It’s easy to think if we just work hard enough we can get anything we want. The messages of manifesting tell us that if we can dream it we can do it, we just have to want it badly enough. Tara sounds a lot like me when she self-describes as a “control freak." She was chasing her dreams until one day she heard the voice of God saying “You aren’t supposed to be here.” That changed her life.
What happened after God spoke to you? What did you do next?
How does the “girl boss” movement affect Christian women? Have you found yourself tempted toward limitlessness?
What have you lost when you don’t slow down? Have you seen this in the lives of others?
How have you seen God guide people to move forward, and also to stop? Does this depend on the season?
We are told to be “strong independent women.” What does independence get us, and what does it lose us?
How have you grown to know God better by leaning on him?

It also means you are designed to reflect a creative God! When you work and create you’re living out your design. Your work, creation, and worship are all tied together. The daily dishes and sweeping after meals are the work of creating order. If we choose not to rush through our days with scrolls and swipes, then what we do is a reflection of God’s creation of order and is a form of worship.

I've briefly mentioned before that I had a crisis of faith soon after I had my first baby. I long story short, I threw away my Bible because learning who Jesus really was felt too overwhelming. A few months later God brought Nancy's "Seeing Jesus in the Old Testament" series to my attention. I used that to re-learn what I believed the Bible taught. At the time I wished she had some New Testament resources too. Since then she has written resources on Revelation and now Acts!
What ignited Nancy's passion for going deeper into the Bible
The whole Bible as the story of Jesus
How themes influence the way we read the Bible.
What stands out in Acts
You can find these resources by Nancy Guthrie:
The Biblical Theology Workshop
"Saved" a Bible study on Acts, or
connect with her on her website.

I hope understanding where this name comes from combined with this verse reminds you that you don’t have to sin or pull strings in order to have your needs met by God. He is a shelter for you. As you live in trust that God keeps his promises you live in the nearness of God. According to this verse, you will be close enough to be in his shadow.

Living in community with other believers is mentioned in scripture to help us grow in our faith. But culturally we are moving away from it are we losing anything?
Why are you so passionate about community that you've chosen to encourage people toward that for so many years?
What benefits do believers get from living in a community?
What does it look like to live in a community?
Does it have to be local, or can people do it online?
What do we lose if we don't have an in-person faith community?
What if I can't find a church or discipleship group that aligns with what I believe?

Our grief at death is often overwhelming. It’s because as humans we weren’t created to experience death. We were created to exist in a world of eternal fellowship with God and perfect relationships with others. The fall marred the blueprint for our existence in a horrific way.

I thought parenting would be easy. I read all the books looking for the perfect formula and became more and more frustrated that I wasn't being given one. I realized with time each child is so individual that even if someone offered me a formula it wouldn't work. I then entered a phase of overwhelm and fear.
Has flourishing always defined your family, or was there a time of desperation for you?
How does seeing our failures in our kids help us lean more into Jesus?
You talk about framing the concept of obedience in trust. How does that change the way we view our children's behavior and our reaction to their behavior?
What do we do with the guilt when we don't respond in an ideal way?
