From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about what mature faith recovers from childhood. 
Ever feel like spiritual growth means needing God less? In this faith-based reflection, we look at what it really means to become childlike—not childish—in our walk with Him. If you're craving some Christian encouragement and want practical help learning how to hear from God, this episode offers two simple questions you can bring to Him today. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Matthew 18:1–4 ESV

"At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

 Mark 10:13–16 ESV

"And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them."

1 Corinthians 14:20 ESV 
"Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature."

Question
God, what have I outgrown that you want me to recover? 
God, how can I receive that from you as your child?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about making prayer a way of life.
Prayer doesn't have to stop when you say "amen." In this episode, Jen wraps up our series on the Lord's Prayer with a look at how asking God to deliver us from temptation and evil can lead to real faith-based reflection and a deeper sense of His care for us. If you're looking for Christian encouragement on how to hear from God throughout your ordinary, busy day—not just during set-aside prayer time—this one's for you. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Matthew 6:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; John 10:27

Question

In today’s episode, we talk about what forgiveness isn't.
Forgiveness feels simple until you're actually facing the person who hurt you. In this episode, we walk through what Jesus really meant when He taught us to pray about forgiveness, and why you can forgive someone without rushing back into trust or pretending the hurt didn't happen. If you're ready for some faith-based reflection on what it looks like to release someone into God's hands, this conversation offers real, grounded Christian encouragement for the one who is tired of carrying what was never theirs to hold. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Matthew 6:12
Hebrews 12:1-3

Question
God, who or what are you inviting me to release into your hands?
