Made to be Free

Dr. Sandy Richter is an Old Testament scholar, author, international speaker, and professor. We couldn't wait to sit down with her!

She is known for her work on Deuteronomy and Deuteronomistic History. She brings the Old Testament to life by exploring the real people and real places from which it comes.

She has not only led student groups in archaeological excavation and historical geography classes in Israel, but has also taught at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wesley Biblical Seminary and Wheaton College. Dr. Richter is the author of The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament and is currently working on a second in that series; The Fifth Gospel: A Christian Entry in to the Book of Isaiah (IVP Academic). Her current research involves a forthcoming commentary on Deuteronomy with Eerdmans.

We continue our conversation about repentance, what is truly means and what might get in our way. Our prayer for you is that you allow God to change your mind and view repentance as a beautiful return to His way of thinking.

What does repentance mean to you? We find that many people have a negative belief of what it means, and often associate it with guilt or shame; when it's actually a beautiful process that God leads us through as we learn to listed to His voice and walk in His ways.

We continue our conversation on mindfulness and our journey of hearing from God and fully understanding what He is saying. So we know what He has called us to do, while operating from our identity that is defined and secured by Him!

We have a conversation around a topic that needs some clarity; mindfulness. The term is used by many and some Christian circles have a problem with the term, so we wanted to get into it a bit and share our thoughts on why it can be a great part of our daily spiritual formation.

We invited our friend and burnout coach, Krystal Burke of Fortify and Grow coaching, to chat with us about the far-too-common affliction of burn out.

We want everyone who may be experiencing burn out to know that, first, you are in good company and second, there is freedom from it!

We had more to say about what it looks like when God is trying to break through to you, so we just kept it rolling! Join us as we conclude one of our favorite topics.

How do you know it's the Holy Spirit breaking through? What is the evidence we can lean on? We share personal stories of how we know it's God trying to get our attention and change our minds. Are you ready for God to change your mind about something?

We love talking about how God speaks to His saints. We believe He's always talking to us and trying to break through the noise of the world. What is God saying to you right now?

Join us as we reflect on Season 1 and what we learned over our short break. We are so happy to be back with you and can't wait to show you what we have in store!
