This podcast will help you grow closer to God, deepen your faith, and strengthen your trust in Jesus as we study biblical truth and apply it in practical ways each week so you can experience the full peace of Christ. Hey friend! I’m Riley- a wife, Frenchie fur mom, caffeine addict and Bible teacher who has been in the fiery furnace for so much of my life I’ve gotten pretty comfortable here.haha When health issues, emotional trauma, family arguments and financial stress came, I consistently found myself reacting emotionally, searching for a worldly solution, or seeking comfort in the hard season through all sorts of distractions…. But in Daniel 3, when Shadrach, Meshasch and Abednego refused to bow to anything “less than” God, they were thrown in a furnace, set 7 times higher than usual, and they survived (and actually walked away with a deeper, more rooted peace) by focusing on Jesus Himself not trying to quiet, strategize or organize the flames around them. I knew I needed to do the same because the solution to an overwhelming season of hardship, confusion and pain is and always will be Jesus Christ our Savior. I began to dig deep into the Bible and found a deeper love and desire for Christ. And in God’s abundance of grace, that led me to have more resilience, joy & peace in the midst of any suffering I was experiencing. If you are ready to reconnect deeply with God…. Fully trust Him at His Word... And experience a life lived with the true peace of Christ…this podcast is for you! ✝️Grab your bible 🍵An Iced matcha and nestle in- we’re turning our eyes back to Jesus and abiding in the fire together! 🤘💚😊

Do you feel a narrative being pushed on you? 
Are you wearing all the hats but not being fully seen by your friends, spouse or community?
Do you wonder what being honest with Jesus will actually do for your soul?
 
In today’s episode, we are celebrating the end of our series on Mary and Martha. We celebrate because despite what most sermons about these women focus on… they were way more than just overworked and busy sisters. While we don’t know the end of your story yet friend, we do know the full, victorious story of two sisters who approached Jesus as a dear friend with boldness, vulnerability and ended with beautifully transformed spirits who could serve and worship authentically.

Do you need a break? 
Does your soul need some quiet alone time with the Holy Spirit? 
Wonder if you’re “allowed” to pause something in your busy, crazy season? 
 
In this episode, we’re continuing our series on the sisters of Martha and Mary. Today we're at the end of John chapter 11. Through this section of scripture, we reflect and ponder the human-ness of Jesus and His logical response to public scrutiny. Most importantly, we are prompted by the Holy Spirit if we need to lay down our overwhelming season and mountain of expectations to take a soulful pause. Doing more isn’t always the answer, friend. Maybe stopping for a season can reconnect you with your God-given identity, heal some brokenness, and bring you closer to Jesus.
