  • Summer Series: Safe in the Father's Heart-How Our View of God Shapes Everything
    Jul 10 2025

    What if your understanding of God as Father has been shaped more by wounds than by truth? In this deeply restorative episode, Elizabeth and Kimberly guide listeners through a profound exploration of how we view God and the ways our misconceptions limit our experience of His love.

    Drawing from personal experiences, including Sylvia Gunter's transformative journey from performance to belovedness, this conversation reveals how our relationships with earthly fathers often color our perception of our heavenly Father. The revelation that changes everything? As Jesus demonstrated by using the tender term "Abba" (similar to "Daddy"), God delights in you simply because you are His. This isn't just theological theory—it's the healing truth that can transform your spiritual walk from duty to delight.

    Through a beautiful portrait painted from Scripture, discover a Father who is faithful when others abandon you, generous beyond measure, compassionate in your struggles, and attentive to your every need. His love isn't earned through performance but lavished freely as a gift to His beloved children.

    Whether your earthly father was absent, abusive, or amazing, this episode will help you release distorted views and embrace the fullness of who God really is—your safe place, your provider, your protector, and the One who rejoices over you with singing. Ready to experience the Father's heart as never before?

  • Devotional-Comfort All Who Mourn
    Jul 8 2025

    Amidst the devastation of recent Texas hill country flooding, this heartfelt devotional emerges as a beacon of spiritual comfort and hope. We begin by acknowledging the profound loss many are experiencing – loved ones, homes, possessions, and livelihoods – while lifting up earnest prayers for victims, rescue workers, and those coordinating relief efforts.

    Drawing from Isaiah 61:1-3, we explore Jesus's self-defined mission to "bind up the brokenhearted" and "comfort all who mourn." These ancient words take on renewed significance for those facing the aftermath of natural disaster. The devotional doesn't shy away from the reality of suffering but instead offers the reassurance that God remains present even when circumstances suggest otherwise. For those struggling to find words in their grief, we share the beautiful concept of tears as "liquid intercession" – precious to God when verbal prayers fail us.

  • Summer Series: Safe in the Father's Heart-The Journey of Forgiveness
    Jul 3 2025

    What if the key to your freedom lies in letting go of what someone else did to you? Deep within us all are wounds waiting to be healed – perhaps from a parent who abandoned us, a friend who betrayed us, or even expectations of God that went unfulfilled. These hurts can silently poison our relationships, our joy, and our spiritual growth when left unaddressed.

    In this vulnerable conversation between Elizabeth and Kimberly, we unpack the transformative power of forgiveness – not as a quick fix, but as a courageous journey toward wholeness.

    "Forgiveness is more about freeing your own heart than changing someone else's behavior," we discover, as we navigate the complex terrain of letting go while still maintaining healthy boundaries. We confront challenging questions: How do you forgive someone who's no longer living? What does it mean to forgive God himself? And what if you've been the one causing harm?

    Your freedom awaits – not in changing what happened, but in changing how it holds you captive. Join us for this life-giving conversation about coming home to the safety of the Father's heart through the challenging but liberating path of forgiveness.
