This week, we share what we learned from our September memory verses in Colossians 1, and Fran shares our new memory verse for October, plus her takeaways from a powerful ministry event with Jaco Booyens on Union's campus last week. We talk about the power of confessing our sin and praying protection over one another, plus the prayer Jesus prayed over us in John 17.

We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.

Did you memorize Colossians with us in September? What is the Lord teaching you through these verses?

"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father,who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:9-12

"It's time for us to be done with shallow, surface level faith. There is so much to learn, and the Lord wants to be engaged with us through his Word." Fran

We have a new scripture memory verse for October: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment." 2 Timothy 1:7 CSB

John 17:11-19 "I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."

Our hearts are so tender after the last two weeks and yours probably is, too. We recently spoke at the "Rooted and Rising" event with our dear friend Susannah Lewis and loved being with those precious ladies (it was so fun seeing several of our listeners there!) In this episode, we continue that conversation including what the Lord is teaching us and what we are constantly being convicted of.

As always, we hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives. We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.

In this week's conversation, we have more hot takes and some big wins to celebrate! We also consider whether we are really walking the walk or just talking the talk, and the importance of good coaching plus accountability. We wrap it all up with the beautiful prayer found within our September memory verses, Colossians 1:9-11 "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience"

"I want to sit at the feet of Jesus and let him grow what he wants to grow in my life. What do you need to do that requires some discomfort? Don't be afraid of doing hard things!"

This week’s conversation begins with our usual fun, lighthearted rambling as we get caught up on all kinds of things, but then becomes more serious as Fran elaborates on a Facebook post she wrote several weeks ago about a scary situation in our hometown. Fran shares how jail ministry gave her new perspective as the Lord continues to teach us so much about this world and all the people in it.

We hope this conversation causes each of us to consider who we are, what we believe, and what we hope for those desperately in need of Jesus. Every single one of us is broken. We all sin. Our sins aren’t the same, but sin is sin. Good works can’t save us. Religion can’t save us. Only Jesus saves. The cross is proof that our greatest need has already been met in Jesus. “We’ve all wandered off, but the Good Shepherd came looking for us.” Isaiah 53:6.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” John 14:6

“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish, but will have everlasting life.” John 3:16

If you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus and have questions or want to talk further about any of this, please reach out! We love y'all and always love hearing from you.
