Bought + Beloved With Kirby Minnick

We will eventually have to walk through the fire, the trials, the suffering, the season of loss or barrenness, and it's so easy from our limited perspective and point of view to believe God is the one burning us. But as we will discuss today, God will not burn His people. He will repurpose the fire and the flames to refine us, to become more resilient, and to be redeemed out of His for His glory! I pray this encourages you today.

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!

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 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!

The shame of our past and the lack of certain skills can easily stop us from making the difference God wants us to make.
