Grace, at its core, is a word used to describe what God does. And here's my question for you: How do you see your life in relation to what God does? Be honest. Do you see yourself close to the work of God? Does He move constantly in your life? Or are there times where it seems like He's not present, like He's visiting other people this month? Do you pray to a God who is close or a God who is far away? And when you say "amen," do you live with fear or with expectation?

I don't know your struggle or what is hurting you. But, I know this: God's grace is sufficient for you. And with His grace, you can win. And that's today's episode. Sure love you bros.

Have you ever felt like someone in your life was loving you from a distance?

They say they love you, but they're never present, never there when you really need them.

Well, the Bible says things like, "God will never forsake you..." But, if we're honest, life with God can feel the same way many times, like God is loving us from a distance.

Romans chapter 8 addresses this issue in a huge way. And despite Christian familiarity with this chapter, I believe there's still something big here that we've missed. That's today's episode.

In the love Christ and without AI,

-Jonathan Lobota & Vincent Fontes

How do you tackle problems? And when I say problems I mean a king signs a decree (a decree which cannot be annulled) that 11 months from now, you, your family, and everyone you love will be eliminated from the breathing population...

So, how do you fix that?

Well, today's podcast unravels the inspiring narrative of this very problem within the 10 short chapters of the book of Esther.

And God's solution... well, it might not be what you'd think.

We pray this podcast inspires your hearts to trust our Heavenly Father in the challenges that are facing you. And we pray that God would provide His answers of healing, wisdom, peace, and power to you and in you, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Colossians 1:13:

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness...

Psalm 68:9:

Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your hearts before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah

What does it mean to pour out your heart before God? If I tell God all the secrets of my heart, am I praying honestly? Or is there more to it...?

Because ultimately, we want answers to prayer. I mean, truly, wouldn't that be wonderful? If we could go to our Almighty Father, ask for something, and boom! We get it! Well, that's tonight's question: What is honest prayer? And how do I get answers to my prayers?

You ever had a 10 foot tall, 120 lbs of bronze armor-wearing, shield & sword-carrying behemoth of a man want to fight you? Typical Thursday, I know. Well, David took on such a man, with no armor, no sword, and at half the height... And David won.

How?

Seriously, how is that possible? David was a shepherd. He hadn't been in a battle. How's he going to fight Goliath of Gath?

Well, I believe God records these stories to teach us how to win, how to overcome the impossible and beat all the odds. It doesn't matter what you're up against if God is on your side. And this chapter 17 of 1 Samuel holds the great secret to victorious living.

In episode 10, The Secret to Righteous Living, we read Acts 2:40, where Peter exhorts the new believers to

“Be saved from this perverse generation!”

Then we read Romans 12:2 from Wuest's Expanded Translation:

And stop assuming an outward expression that does not come from within you and is not representative of what you are in your inner being but is patterned after this age; but change your outward expression to one that comes from within and is representative of your inner being, by the renewing of your mind, resulting in your putting to the test what is the will of God, the good and well-pleasing and complete will, and having found that it meets specifications, place your approval upon it.

Today is a continuation of these truths in application.

Because clearly God wants to see us transformed. Okay. But, how? How do we experience this newness? How do we actually live this out when it feels like we're being hit from every other direction? How do we get rid of the things we know we should get rid of, but can't seem to? That's today's episode.

And if you're looking for more, need help with this "renewing the mind" stuff, or want to connect to move the Word together, reach out to us at ResearchingTheTruth.com. We are one Body. We love you bros.

Ezekiel chapter 3 literally changed my life. And I'm just realizing as I'm typing this summary, that I've never actually recorded anything about this chapter before. I'm so blessed to share this with you all.

Ezekiel 3 woke me up to the reality of my calling in Christ, the solution and comfort I had been missing, and corrected the improper balance I'd let creep into my walk. My prayer is that the Truth in this chapter empowers you in your life too.

Sure love you bros. Keep on speaking God's truth in Christ. For it is Truth that frees, it is Truth that enlivens, it is Truth that saves.
