The Tension of Obedience: John 7:1–24: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Rachael Groll looks at John 7 and the tension Jesus faced between obedience to God and the pressure to please others. She unpacks how Jesus responded to misunderstanding, criticism, and timing with wisdom and humility: and what that means for us today. Through this story, Rachael reminds listeners that faith sometimes means waiting on God when the world is pushing for action. When we trust His timing and listen for His voice above the noise, we learn how to walk in quiet confidence, even when others don’t understand. ☆Go Deeper and Learn to Hear God’s Voice: Knowing Jesus Course ☆ This podcast devotional is a companion to Knowing God’s Voice, Grab Your Printed Copy Here! ☆To Learn More About Sponsoring a Child, check out Compassion International here:  ➤  Sponsor a Child ☆Go on a trip with Rachael: Bible Study Live ☆Have a question for Rachael?

Proximity does not guarantee belief. Timing matters in the kingdom of God. Not every opportunity is an invitation from God. Knowledge is not the same as revelation. Spiritual discernment isn't about intellect. God values people over rule following. The aim of Jesus is to honor the Father. The world is going to hate him because he is light.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
