Drink from the River of Delight

It’s the holiday season! I love celebrations with friends and family, and I anticipate a lot of good conversations. Let’s pray for wisdom—that we can spread life, light, and freedom with our words.

See Psalm 141:3, Proverbs 8, Proverbs 10:11, Proverbs 11:12-13.

As we behold Jesus, we will speak with wisdom, and our words will be more like His words! I am cheering for you, and praying for God’s glory to be revealed in your words.

“Th...

Are you in a tough season of waiting? Does God seem distant or silent? Do you drag yourself out of bed every day with little hope or joy?

Today’s podcast is for you! Tammy Kennington interviewed me for her podcast, From Hardship to Hope. She interviewed me about my life, my book, and the hope I have in Jesus. We talked about seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and despair, but how God has put us in these places for good reasons. “For s...

Do you ever feel like God has abandoned you? Do you wonder about His plan for your life? Are you in a season of waiting right now?

This podcast with Eric Mattie and Chris Russo was filled with Holy Spirit wisdom and encouragement for weary souls. We’ve had different journeys, but our stories of faith will inspire you to dig deeper in your walk with God, to see more fruit in your life.

No matter what stage of life you are in, I know G...

Today’s podcast will give you delight, practical ways to behold Jesus, and receive God’s full attention and presence. We can lean into God’s presence, knowing that He is delighting in us.

I had the pleasure of welcoming Asheritah Ciuciu, author of the book, Delighting in Jesus.

Robbers of delight include burdens, brokenness, and burnout. We mistake busy activities for discipleship, but Jesus is inviting us to sit with Him and savor...

Who do you consider to be “your people” or the community where you are seen, known, loved, and accepted? Where do you spend your time and energy serving others?

Today’s podcast is essential if you consider yourself a follower of Jesus Christ. Leaders and non-leaders in the church need to know how to live in the Body of Christ.

Find true wisdom from Bill Faris MPC who has decades of experience in leadership in the church, and has a s...

I just got back from the Revive Our Hearts True Woman 2025 conference in Indianapolis. It was a wonderful time, and I am so full of good Bible teaching, fellowship, and worship.

Today, I want to remind us to speak to ourselves and others with warmth, welcome, gentleness, and respect. Harshness is not a fruit of the Spirit.

Let’s continue to behold Jesus together, remembering John 1:14-18. We have received grace upon grace, and He is...

Looking for some wisdom today?

Here’s a replay of my first podcast with Bill Faris MPC from a few months ago (unedited), now in its entirety for the first time.

There is so much wisdom and godliness in this conversation. It’s worth a re-listen, and worth sharing with someone struggling with unforgiveness, relationship difficulties, or boundary issues. May you grow in your humility and faith and delight.

Have you ever fixed something with tape? It may work for a short time, but it falls apart with too much stress.

Have you been choosing a quick-fix for your problems? Do your relationships need some help?

Here’s some help fighting unforgiveness, pride, and foolish unbelief.

Let’s ask God to help us believe His Word. The Holy Spirit can make it real to our hearts. Receive the forgiveness offered to you by the blood of Jesus. Receive th...

Only God can tell you what the meaning of life is, because God made you.

God is Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and so God is relational. He created us to enjoy relationship with Him. The meaning of life therefore must be deep relationships.

First, we need to have deep relationship with God. Only then will we have healthy relationships with others.

Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinful people. Peace with God only com...

A plea for the purity and unity of the Church—let’s be the Body of Christ. We are chosen to be God’s treasured possession, and to represent Him, His message, His character, until He comes back.

Remember the grace of Jesus Christ.

Let’s read 2 Timothy 2:8-10 today, keeping in mind that we will endure difficulties and we will see the glory of God, which will make it all worthwhile. Our enemies are the world, the flesh, and the devil,...

What is hindering you from contentment?

Are you actively seeking contentment and fighting discontentment?

We will discuss what hinders contentment, what discontentment can do to you, and how to have the power of God in your life for contentment.

We discussed Philippians 4:11-13, Psalm 73, and Psalm 84.

Here’s the 6 reasons that contentment is power.

* God is providing, so nothing can harm me permanently. Psalm 91.

* Contentment is attr...

Do you feel the world is broken? Do you feel the shadows deepen? Is your soul weary and burdened by the sin, suffering, and rebellion all around you?

God gives us the solution: intercessory prayer. Lift up your voice in prayer. This is our new role—we are a kingdom of priests to our God.

Today we use Daniel 9 as our model for intercessory prayer, lifting up our churches, our leaders, and our country.

Also, if you would like a free c...

When is the last time you have enjoyed reading your Bible? Have you been hearing God speak to you? Do you experience the warmth of His love every day?

On this must-listen-to episode, Robert Cale and I unpack the essentials for loving the Bible. If you’ve ever found dust on your Bible, this episode is for you.

When you open your Bible, keep these things in mind.

* Necessary for Life- the Word of God is my food, water, air. I need ever...

Don’t listen to this podcast if you never make mistakes.

This podcast came out of a mistake I made last week.

Whether we are avoiding mistakes, or we just made a mistake, or it’s been a while since our last mistake, we can adopt the following attitudes:

* Focus on enjoying God. He is perfect, sovereign, and all-powerful.

* Let humility grow by receiving grace.

* Show grace to yourself and others.

Conceit and pride are deadly—much more d...

Today I sat down with Cathy Ben-Ameh, joining England and Alaska over Zoom!

We met on Substack through our friend, Paul Christopher, and the Salt and Light community. Cathy’s article about Jesus writing His story through us is worth your time.

Being together in the family of God, we have so much in common, and can encourage each other through the Word, and what God is teaching us through the Holy Spirit.

I know our deep and vulnerab...

Do you remember the day that Jesus tapped you on the shoulder saying, “Follow Me,” and you said yes?

We celebrate that day with you, and we encourage you to say the next yes, which is discipleship and disciple-making, following the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20. It’s as simple as telling stories, and asking questions, listening with the love of Jesus for others.

Kevin E Beasley has been gifted with a heart for disciple-making...

It is with great delight I release this conversation I had with Rebecca Riley, author of Deeply Rooted. She has a gift from the LORD to bring the Word, the Spirit, and counseling wisdom—she is wise beyond her years. Her passion is to help root out the sin and lies that we all carry deep within, so that we can flourish in the kingdom of God, all for His glory and honor. Healing is available in Jesus, as we learn to listen and live b...

Today I interviewed Bill Faris MPC about his latest book, Climbing Purpose Mountain.

Have you ever felt stuck? Are you staring down a deep, dark hole, that seems to be sucking you in? (Think Frodo in the swampy marshes!)

Today’s podcast will be life-changing and life-giving. You can’t dig your way out of the sinkhole. You can’t fill in the sinkhole. You can’t even resist the sinkhole.

But God can. And He will. Find out how!

Give Bill...

Do you feel hopeless and alone?

There is no place where God isn’t.

Join Robert Cale and I for our conversation about PTSD, Veterans, and God’s redemption of seemingly hopeless situations. He teaches the message of hope, that no one is broken beyond repair. Go to Jesus to get fixed—don’t try to fix yourself first. Shout out to the man who led him to Jesus, Jeremy Stalnecker.
