In Ephesians chapters 4 through 6, we read practical instructions for how believers should live in response to God's grace. Key teachings include living with unity and love, putting of the "old self," Godly relationships, and the armor of God. This includes the famous instructions for husbands and wives. I have really enjoyed Ephesians and hope you have as well.

Tonight we have another highly requested reading--the book of Ephesians. There will be two parts. The first part covers chapters 1 through 3. Paul is writing a letter to the early Christian believers in the city of Ephesus. Paul begins by highlighting the incredible blessings that believers have in Christ. Ephesians reminds us that salvation is a gift of grace.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing moms out there, including "fur" moms and those longing to be moms.

It is bittersweet tonight as we wrap up the amazing story of Job. God finally speaks and addresses Job and his friends. The ending will give you so much hope! Praise God that He makes all things new and works everything out for our good.

At the beginning of the episode, I share a little bit about my Job season and one of my "whys." I became suddenly chronically ill at the very end of August 2022. It's been quite the journey and the scariest years of my life. I won't go into too much detail but I've been to the ER several times (for the first time in my life) and at times thought I was dying. Insomnia was one of numerous symptoms and I knew that the lack of sleep was preventing my healing. I started searching for Bible stories that I could fall asleep to, but I could never find exactly what I was looking for. I felt this tug on my heart (God) and this push, telling me that I should start my own. A few months later, Bedtime Bible Stories for Adults was born.

There have been challenging moments since shortness of breath is one of my symptoms, but praise God that is improving! I look back now and see how far I've come. I'm working with a functional doctor and working on reframing my thoughts and my brain. Your messages bring me so much encouragement (and tears!). Thank you for your prayers, your donations, and for sharing how the podcast has helped you. I appreciate all of you.
