Each of us has a list of colossal moments in our lives that mark us, change us, and set a true turning point.

Learn how a shift in perspective can help you find confidence in the collection of God's colossal moments, the Bible.

The Middle Eastern Lens was first brought to us through Jesus & Women Study.  Not familiar to you?  Check out episodes 23 thru 33!  It helped us to better learn about the heart and character of Jesus through learning about His world in the 1st-century and to begin to look at the words in the Bible from the perspective of the original audience. Now we have an opportunity to once again sit under the remarkable teaching of Kristi McLelland through her new 7-week study, where we’ll begin to see through that same Middle Eastern Lens, the outward expansion of the early church and how the gospel began to spread along the ground. Today we wrap up this series looking to the future and what God calls us to until it is time to go home.

"When reading the Bible, have you ever skipped over a verse, because it just didn't make any sense? 🤨 The footnotes or cross-references don't lend a whole lot more help decipher its meaning, so you just keep reading, figuring that it must not be important.

"…We are always close to a wilderness season by way of being in one, emerging from one, or heading into one.  This reality affirms the importance of actively choosing postures that position us to receive the wealth God has for us in and through wilderness seasons." This is a quote from the author, Rebekah Joy, who we’ve been blessed to learn from these last six weeks through her study, Wealth of the Wilderness: A Middle Eastern Pathway for Transformation Through Difficult Seasons. And I’m excited to share that the Intentional Filling community was able to wrap up this study in the BEST way possible by sitting down and chatting with Rebekah.

I love reading a good novel from beginning to end, devouring the descriptions of the world that the author created. I begin to live as if the story were real. As if I know the characters in real life. What if I told you that you could read the Bible in the same way? Would you believe me? Let me show you how in today's episode of the Let's Grow with Bree podcast! - - - Show notes & full blog-excerpt are available to read at https://www.intentionalfilling.co/why-is-biblical-context-so-important And follow us on Instagram - @intentionalfilling - for more tips on how to explore the context of Scripture to become rooted in the Word of God! 

"As Christians, we can never forget that the Bible, from Genesis through Revelation is essentially a Jewish document." This is a quote from the co-authors, Ann Spangler & Lois Tverberg, who we’ve been blessed to learn from these last seven weeks through their study, "Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith". And I’m excited to share that the Intentional Filling community was able to wrap up this study in the BEST way possible by sitting down and chatting with Lois. We were able to ask some great follow-up questions and bear witness to such a tender moment with her. This conversation is long, but it is one that I’m so grateful to have been a part of. So grab your notebook, cause you’re gonna want it to take all the notes, and sit back and enjoy this conversation with Lois Tverberg, the co-author of Sitting at the Feet of Rabbi Jesus: How the Jewishness of Jesus Can Transform Your Faith and many more!

Grow through what you go through, it’s a phrase that I’ve used here on the podcast many times. It’s also an experience that I’ve been blessed to have.  Well, it didn’t always seem like a blessing. But now being 3.5 years removed from that season of my life, I can look back and easily see God’s fingerprints all over the trials I experienced. Not because He caused them, but because He used them in a way to help me grow as a person, as His child, and for His glory in the greater narrative. Today, I’m grateful to introduce you to Mackenzie Ryan, of Faith Storytellers, who has recently helped me to share that story.

As we near a new year, it is naturally a time for reflection and collection of memories and lessons learned. This year didn’t allow for quite as many monumental memories, but it certainly stretched us and provided new perspectives on the most important things in life.  Today we have an opportunity to also look at some of the things that were revealed about God and His character in this unprecedented year, thanks to Paige Phillips, as part of our “Grow Your Faith” series.

One of the first things that alert us to the Christmas season is often the Christmas music being piped in during our shopping excursions.  These age-old melodies are the soundtrack to so many memories throughout the years, and I think you'll come to a greater appreciation for the soundtrack of our lives through Gloria's words in, "Do You Hear What I Hear?", the seventh episode of our series, "Grow Your Faith".
