You can mark it down. Satan will bring up your past sins, and he will keep on bringing them up. Perry’s so familiar with this and though it never gets easier to stand firm, he’s grateful he knows what to do when the fiery darts relentlessly pelt him.

Then, have you ever struggled to discern God’s timing? Shawna was challenged by Esther’s resolve to draw close to God and wait on Him.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me.” We are encouraged to come to him with the heart of a child. Lisa Anderson, Executive director of Grace’s Table shares a time that a child’s dirty feet were a palpable reminder that we can come to Jesus just as we are.

Then, some days are so hard you wonder if you’re going to make it. On those days especially we cling to the faithfulness of God, come what may.

Perry shares, “When I feel prompted to share the gospel and don’t, those are moments I think I’m ashamed of the gospel.” But Shawna has some great insight about how that might not be the case at all.

Last, when you step into God’s purposes you’re probably going to feel like you’re in way over your head. Danneh Gresh, author the tween bible study, Esther, Becoming a Girl of Purpose joins us. She says, “When you’re in over your head, Jesus has all the overwhelming under his feet!”

There are passages in the bible that warn us about assuming we’re a child of God, other passages seem to indicate that only God knows. How do we balance these super unsettling passages with the gospel that tells us we can know we are God’s children?

Bible scholar Jeremy Grinnell joins the team to answer tough bible questions. Jeremy has his PhD in Systematic Theology from Calvin Seminary and shares his amazing story of redemption in The Bellowing of Cain.

Dr. Jeremy also takes on the following questions: What is the difference between wisdom, understanding and knowledge? What's the difference between worldly wisdom and Godly wisdom?

In Nehemiah God commands the Israelite men to divorce their pagan wives. Why would God do this when he clearly commands against divorce?

And, Nehemiah was passionate about rebuilding the wall in Jerusalem and calling people back to the ways of God but at one point he pulled out people’s hair in anger of their rebellion. What’s up with that?

More than anything Shawna wanted to be a great mom. That’s why she’s struggled with forgiving herself in her failings as a mother more than anything else. How do we forgive ourselves?

Diya was as wicked as they come and her wickedness made her extremely wealthy. Then she has a vision of herself in hell and it crushed her. It’s a conversation about how following Jesus is not a ticket to heaven but about life transformation.

Maybe you’ve grown up ending prayer with the words, “In Jesus name we pray. Amen.” What does it mean to pray “in Jesus’ name”?

Perry shares about a moment when he spoke to his bride in anger and wounded her heart. His sin made him sad. It’s a conversation about how the sadness God lets us feel for our sin is used by him to free us from committing the same sins over and over.

Forgiving someone who’s wronged us is shifting from “because of what you did, you owe me” to “even though you did what you did, you owe me nothing.” When God forgives us he goes so far beyond that. He forgives, cleanses, reconciles, and empowers us to forgive others!
