Episode Highlights:
The Transfiguration. The Power of Faith. Embracing Discipleship.
“Because of your little faith,” he told them. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” - Matthew 17:20
In this episode, we explore Matthew Chapter 17, where the divine nature of Jesus is vividly illustrated through the awe-inspiring Transfiguration. We witness Jesus transformed, His face shining like the sun and His clothes dazzling white, alongside the Old Testament figures of Elijah and Moses. This profound moment is accentuated by the voice of God from the clouds, reaffirming Jesus as His beloved Son. As we delve into this chapter, we look for signs of Jesus' authority and divinity, understand the critical role of faith—emphasized through the disciples' struggle with unbelief—and contemplate Jesus' foretelling of His own suffering and resurrection, which puzzles yet prepares His disciples for the challenges ahead.
Our journey through this scripture brings us several impactful takeaways to enhance our walk with Christ. We are reminded of the importance of growing in our understanding of Jesus’ true nature and His teachings, recognizing that even a faith as small as a mustard seed can lead to miraculous outcomes. The episode encourages us to nurture our faith and rely on God's power in our lives, especially in moments of doubt and difficulty. Lastly, we embrace the journey of discipleship, learning to carry our crosses with perseverance and hope, and to trust in God's plan through the challenges of life. These reflections not only deepen our faith but also inspire us to live out the values of commitment and trust in our daily lives

Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
