Such Things

We all say things we regret. But you'll never regret speaking words of love and appreciation to those you care about. So why do we hold back?

Through story and scripture, David talks about the power of the faith formula: when we line up our words, thoughts and behaviors with the Holy Spirit, faith is unleashed in remarkable ways. Jesus is still on the move and still seeking out those who will put their trust in him no matter the storm. But what do our words reveal about what we truly believe? In this episode, we continue our summer series on Living Your Best Life and observe how Jesus spoke to the storm in Luke 8.

Why do we so often fall just when we finally reach the peak? In this ongoing series on the life of King David, we see that though David navigated years of hardship, he nearly didn't survive prosperity. With times of ease came new temptations. He fell and he fell hard. But David shows us that the way we come back from our falls is key to being a man or woman after God's own heart. Though repercussions may linger, repentance is available. Grace can indeed come from tragedy. Enjoying the podcast? Send a little love! Write a review, share with a friend, and subscribe or follow wherever you get your podcasts!
