Bought + Beloved with Kirby Kelly

I see so many Christians living in insecurity, living in anxiety, and living in loneliness, but it doesn't have to be this way. God invites us to be with Him. In a world where we often work, strive, and seek to earn our place at the table, Jesus gives us an invitation to simply arrive. Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith joins me in today's episode to unpack this and the wonderful reality of what it looks like to be fully known and belong!

It seems as though every time we turn on the news, we hear about another pastor in a "moral failure" or caught in sin. Another day, another fallen leader. This can be so discouraging to Christians and unbelievers alike. Can we trust the church? How do we go about handling this and healing form this? My friend Hannah Williamson and I dive into this on today's episode!

We can experience every wonder with Jesus. We can experience safety and refuge with Jesus. We can experience strength and power through Jesus. In such a disconnected and discontent world where anxiety swarms us, things fight for our attention, and real help is needed in the craziest of season, Jesus is the real answer, and is healing and intervention is a real possibility! My friend John Eldredge joins me in today's episode to discuss this, and I pray it encourages you as much as it encouraged me.

The heart is deceptive, our feeling fades, and we do not have a full understanding of how clouded judgment can get. Scripture warns us about this and encourages us to trust in God's heart, God's plans, and God's will and way. I want to discuss why God is trustworthy today and how He can begin to transform our hearts to reflect His -- His good and pleasing and perfect will!

What if the valley had just as much to offer as the mountain? I think that because of certain poetic language in the Bible about the valley, we forsake it and idolize the mountaintop moments alone; my friend Jonathan McReynolds agrees! But God might be calling some of us off of the mountain to meet Him in the valley to develop our character, grow us in wisdom, and bless us with beauty we didn't know we could find there. I hope you enjoy this week's episode as we dive into this topic of conversation!

I have noticed the unfortunate trend of disunity amongst believers. I think it stems from our lack of unity over Christ Himself! When we share true communion with God, this affects how we perceive ourselves, links arms with the Church, and enables us to reach the world through the love and power of the Gospel! My friend Kyle Worley has noticed this reality and has written a book that tackles the issue head-on! Today, that is what we are diving into.

As believers, we are called to be in the world and not of the world. I know that sometimes I have been left feeling like an outsider because of that. When we join Jesus and follow Him, though, there is joy in being on the "outside" where He is! That is what my friend Patrick Miller is joining me to discuss today in a culture of rising tension where we are called to go into the world as Christ's representatives.

Elizabeth Tabish, who plays Mary Magdalene in The Chosen, joins me on today's episode to discuss the new movie, Between Borders. In this true story of faith, community, and relicense amidst oppression, we can take away how to endure with hope but also how to have empathy for those in hardships they never imagined for themselves.
