  • Phenomenal and inspiring

    Oh my goodness! I’ve listened to Annie for years and she always brings the diamonds. Recently listening to Lauren and Thomas Rhett and their latest adventure is just so beautiful. I’ve heard interactions between Annie and them in past years and it’s always good to hear them be everyday people, but this latest trip to Africa and everything that came with it was so beautiful to hear how they dug deep, kept listening to God, and grew their family’s faith in walking out their own. Thank you, Annie... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Understanding Holy Week Through Its Original Historical and Cultural Context with Rabbi Jason Sobel- Episode 1042
Q: How do the Passover elements foreshadow Jesus' death and resurrection?
The Passover dinner, the four cups, and the afikomen all point to Jesus as the ultimate Passover Lamb, with his death, burial, and resurrection aligning with the three sprinklings and the third cup, showing a greater redemption than the historical Exodus.
Understanding Holy Week Through Its Original Historical and Cultural Context with Rabbi Jason Sobel- Episode 1042
Q: Can you talk about the significance of Palm Sunday in light of Old and New Testament connections?
Palm Sunday is about recognizing that Jesus comes as the humble Messiah, fulfilling prophecy but redefining expectations by moving away from a purely military victory toward a spiritual and redemptive victory that culminates in the crucifixion and resurrection.
Diving Deeper into the Lord’s Prayer with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson- Episode 1035
Q: How does prayer in general, can you pastor us for a minute? And then even into the Lord's Prayer, how does prayer help us feel less disoriented, less untethered, and less unmoored?
Prayer serves to anchor us, reminding us of truths that hold us up when we feel lost and providing a communal connection with believers worldwide.
Becoming a Prayer Warrior: Hearing God and Trusting His Voice with Lauren Tomlin- Episode 1033
Q: Is it different when we pray to the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit?
They're different for what they bring, while they are one; the Holy Spirit guides, God the Father provides love, and Jesus helps to take down mountains.
Becoming a Prayer Warrior: Hearing God and Trusting His Voice with Lauren Tomlin- Episode 1033
Q: How can we trust that sentence?
