Undaunted Pursuit Podcast: Back to Hebrews Bible Study – Understanding Our Savior (Hebrews 2)

Welcome back to Undaunted Pursuit with Marshall and Aaron! After several weeks of exciting guests, we’re diving back into our Bible study in Hebrews. This episode focuses on Hebrews 2, where we are reminded of the importance of paying close attention to the message of salvation to avoid drifting away. We reflect on Christ’s superiority and how crucial it is to hold firm to our faith in Him.

Understanding Our Savior (Hebrews 2:1-18)

• Recap from Chapter 1: Jesus is greater than the prophets and angels.

• Why We Must Listen to Christ (Hebrews 2:1-4):

  • The consequence of neglecting salvation leads to eternal death.
  • The warning: "Do not drift away," especially in today’s distraction-filled world.
  • What distractions cause you to drift from your faith? How do you stay anchored?
  • We look to passages like 1 John 4:1-6 and 2 Timothy 4:2-4 for guidance on staying firm.
  • The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-17): How each piece helps us remain steadfast in faith.

• The Authoritative Voice of Christ (Hebrews 2:2-3):

  • Galatians 3:24 and James 2:10 highlight the importance of Christ’s message over the law.
  • If people who ignored the law were punished, how much more for those who neglect Jesus?

• God’s Testimony through Signs and Wonders (Hebrews 2:4):

  • The Holy Spirit works through us, distributing gifts according to God’s will.
  • His gifts serve a specific purpose and may change based on the circumstances.

Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Undaunted Pursuit Podcast! In this week's episode, we are honored to have Strahan Coleman, the best-selling author of the upcoming book Thirsting: Quenching Our Soul’s Deepest Desire, joining us for an in-depth discussion. Strahan is not only an accomplished writer but also the founder of the popular ministry Commoners Communion, a teacher at Practicing the Way, and an award-winning musician. His poetic exploration of our deep spiritual thirst and how to rediscover communion with God is profoundly moving and relevant in today’s world.

• Exclusive Insight into Thirsting: Strahan Coleman shares the heart behind his latest book, Thirsting, set to release on October 1, 2024. He delves into the universal issue of spiritual thirst and how the only true solution is a personal connection with God. As Strahan poignantly writes in his book, "Having it together doesn’t qualify us for Christ, only desperation, only need, only thirst. The issue is universal, the solution personal."

• Rediscovering Communion with God: Through years of chronic illness and personal trials, Strahan discovered a deep friendship with God, filled with vulnerability and unceasing prayer. In Thirsting, he shares his journey and offers readers guidance on identifying their God-given thirst and experiencing the fullness of God’s presence.

• The Soul’s Deepest Desire: Strahan reminds us that “This world dehydrates us, it’s what sin and disorder do.” From personal struggles like lost dreams, sickness, and grief to broader societal issues like political divisiveness and mental health challenges, our souls are in a constant state of thirst. But Strahan emphasizes that only God can quench this thirst, urging us to turn to Him in our moments of pain and confusion.

Strahan Coleman is a writer, poet, and musician living in Aotearoa, New Zealand, with his wife and three young boys. His life experiences, particularly years of chronic illness, have led him to a deep, vulnerable relationship with God, which he now shares through his books, prayer schools, and spiritual retreats. In Thirsting, Strahan invites readers to transform the aches of life into their truest prayers, leading them to discover their divine purpose and connection with God.

This week on the Undaunted Pursuit podcast, we’re thrilled to welcome a special guest, Grace Parker, the voice behind the Ashes 613 podcast! In a unique collaboration, we dive deep into the world of podcasting, sharing the ups, downs, and everything in between. Ever wondered what it’s like to run a podcast? We’re pulling back the curtain, comparing notes, and having some laughs along the way.

Grace shares the inspiring story of how she launched Ashes 613, a podcast dedicated to spotlighting indie Christian artists. You’ll be amazed at how her journey mirrors our own beginnings. From humble starts to growing platforms, it’s a conversation full of encouragement for anyone thinking of starting their own podcast—or just chasing a dream.

But that’s not all! We explore the idea of finding rest in unexpected places, like living in a bus or RV for a season. Tying it all back to the rest God took on the seventh day, this part of our chat will leave you thinking about how to find peace in the chaos.

And for some light-hearted fun, tune in to hear about Florida’s quirky weather—did you know iguanas can rain down when temperatures drop? Plus, Mrs. Parker’s Dalmatian made a surprise appearance that had us all in stitches. Let’s just say, Dalmatians can be quite the handful!

We also dive into how Grace’s podcast sparked the beginning of a new ministry, proving that when God is in the mix, amazing things happen.
