From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about how kindness is more powerful than you think. 
We often shrink kindness down to good manners, but Scripture paints it as something much bigger—an actual force that flows from God's heart and changes people from the inside out. In this episode, we dig into why God's kindness is what actually leads us to repentance (not guilt or fear), and why the kindness we struggle to give others is usually tied to how much of God's kindness we've let ourselves receive. It's a gentle, honest reflection for anyone who wants real Christian encouragement and a deeper way to hear from God in the middle of a busy, tired season. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Romans 2:4
"Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?" (ESV)

Question
God, who could experience your kindness through me today?
God, will you remind me of your kindness to me or show me how I can receive more of it?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about how patience is a trust issue.
Do you ever wonder if your struggle with patience is really about something deeper? In this episode of faith-based reflection, we talk about why waiting on God so often stirs up fear instead of trust—and how patience actually grows in us as we lean into His timing. If you're craving Christian encouragement for a hard waiting season, this conversation will help you trade striving for trust and hear from God about what's really going on in your heart. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Psalm 27:14
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."

Question
God, what am I afraid will happen if you don't act on my timeline?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about finding peace in the middle of the mess. 
If your house is loud and your heart feels even louder, this one's for you. Today's faith-based reflection unpacks the difference between the peace the world offers and the peace Jesus actually promises in John 14:27—peace that meets you in the middle of the mess, not after it finally calms down. It's Christian encouragement for anyone wondering how to hear from God in a season that doesn't feel quiet at all. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

Question
God, where have I been looking for a lesser peace, like the kind circumstances or the world can offer me? And God, what peace are you offering me instead?

From Today’s Episode

In today’s episode, we talk about the reliable compassion of God. 
When life feels heavy and you've been leaning on your own strength for too long, it can be hard to believe God still has grace for you. In this episode, Jen opens up Isaiah 30 to show that God's compassion isn't fickle — it doesn't ebb and flow based on how well you're doing. If you're wondering how to hear from God in the middle of a hard season, this one's a good place to start. 
Our Good God talks with us and we're created for life with Him, so let's experience more of it!

Verse
Isaiah 30:15, 16 & 18
"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you. Therefore, he will rise up to show you compassion." (v 18)

Question
God, what do you want me to know about your compassion for me?
