In this episode, Jennie continues her exploration of the book of Galatians. This time, she focuses on the tension in chapter 5 as Paul presents a contrasting message. Throughout most of Galatians, Paul emphasizes that our salvation is not dependent on our performance or adherence to the law. However, in this passage, he lays out a list of behaviors that he warns will prevent us from inheriting the kingdom of God. Jennie shows us while it may be tempting to judge others or focus on external behaviors, the key lies in understanding the inner transformation that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit. MAIN POINTS: 00:00 Jennie continues her deep dive into Galatians in Made for This Season 15 00:10 The book of Galatians emphasizes that believers are no longer subject to the law but to Christ. 2:09 Jennie reads from Galatians Chapter 5 2:26 Paul lists the works of the flesh, such as sexual immorality, idolatry, and jealousy, warning that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 2:47 On the other hand, the fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. 3:56 Jennie explains why each individual's salvation is a personal matter between them and God, and only they can truly know if they are saved. 6:17 The evidence of salvation is a changed heart and a desire to turn away from sin. 9:43 Jennie emphasizes the importance of recognizing the spiritual realm and the battle between darkness and light. 18:15 Jennie explains what this passage means for her practically. 19:23 Jennie talks about the rule Billy Graham had about other ministries.

In this episode, Jennie takes us through Galatians 2, focusing on the situation where Titus, a Greek, wasn't compelled to undergo circumcision despite being with Paul. Jennie shows us how this chapter teaches us as Christians grace is by faith, not our ability to adhere to rituals and laws.

When's the last time you said 'I'll just do it myself'? You are never truly alone. In this episode, Jennie takes us through Galatians 1:6-10, where the apostle Paul is mad people are confusing others and making God’s love more complicated than it is. We learn people have always grappled with salvation because so often we think of Christianity as our actions and behaviors. The parallels Jennie draws between Paul's message and her personal experiences help us to see God’s grace; and that it is not about our efforts to please Him but rather our relationship and trust in him.

When we take inventory of all the pieces that make us whole, it is unlikely they are all thriving at the same time. In this episode, we talk about how to seek God’s guidance when we feel lacking, and how to trust Him with a child-like faith. We all feel pressure to a different degree. When that happens, our identities can become tied to our achievements. But know this: God is after a relationship with you. He doesn’t want you to do more or achieve more.

Are you ok? We all would love to have a quick answer when someone asks us this, but life is not that simple. When we realize that our identity and who we are is made up of a combination of many parts that are feeling and experiencing different things at a given time, we are able to work on the different parts without sabotaging the whole. Join us for 12 weeks, 24 episodes where we take an honest look at the parts of you and the God who makes us whole. I want to walk beside you in this tension and remind you what Scripture tells us that God wants for us. Forward this to your friends, gather your people, and process this in community.

What we are witnessing right now is the decimation of the country and people of Afghanistan. The Taliban has a hit list of known Christians that they are targeting to hunt down and kill. But these believers are not hopeless... I've had 3 conversations this week with my friend Pastor X and his team that have changed my faith. History has shown that persecution grows the church and you guys.. these Jesus followers on the ground in Afghanistan are still on mission, hopeful, and willing to die for their faith.

Nothing is more dangerous, more compelling, more freeing, more radical, more real, more satisfying, more powerful than a person holding a smidgen of faith. A sincere faith in Jesus and all He wants to do around us wakes us up, rattles our lives, shifts every perspective, issues hope in pain, and ignites purpose.

NEW YEAR, NEW SEASON and we missed you!! If there’s ever been a time where we need people to grab us by the shoulders and tell us what is true and what is real, it is right now. We don’t need big fancy words to get us through our days, we need to go back to the simple and pure things God has given us to stay close to Him and love people well. There is a way out of the chaos in our minds, the fear, the confusion and lack of vision - it’s in clinging to our Bibles and knowing what to do next because of it. Let’s spend 10 weeks going back to the basics every single one of us needs to know… things like how to pray, what to do with sin, how to read your Bible, and why we all need to have fun sometimes. These 10 weeks will give you practical steps you can take right now and challenge you to follow God and go deeper with Him.

This season we’ve talked about the struggles we’re facing during COVID, and the God who sets us free. We’ve been forced to face the hard emotions we normally avoid by staying busy, entertained, and numb. It has been an incredible journey as we work through things like shame, isolation, bitterness, and anger together. We want to remember some of our favorite moments with you!

We all feel a little fragile during this pandemic. But despite our fragility, God isn’t impatient with us, he isn’t shaken by our questioning, and he can handle our sadness.

Season 6 is coming Sep 29th and we can't wait! Are you worn down? Burnt out? Are your hardest emotions feeling unbearable? The things we have used to prop up our pain have been kicked out from under us during COVID and what is underneath is exposed. We stay busy. We stay entertained. We numb out.

Do you want your relationships to change? Do you want to know God more? This season, we are going to spend the next 10 weeks facing things like shame, deep sadness, isolation, bitterness, and anger and get practical. We’re going to dive deep into our Bibles and stay there. We’re going to pull people in and get honest. We’re going to come out the other side different people. You ready? This season will have incredible guests, people with real stories, and even more ways to interact with this podcast community.

You get to hear from a new friend of mine from Kenya named Jey. We need some perspective and sometimes for me, perspective comes from hearing other people's stories. Jey has a story worth telling!

Little kids ask hard questions. Am I saying the right thing? Am I explaining that enough? You’re met with blank stares. Or maybe their curiosity is deeper and bigger than you could ever dream. Or let’s get real. We have hard questions about the things of God. But we rarely take the time to stop and dig for the answer and understand it down in our bones. Even if you don't have kids, don’t tune out on this. This is important for all of us to get the basics right. Why am I here? What is sin? Where is heaven? Do I know God? These are crucial questions and I want to spend the next 5 weeks going there. It’s going to be simple and clear and I don’t want you to miss this.

You will love my precious friend Annie. She is such a delight and finds joy in every moment in her life. We talk about everything from how she is staying connected, daily rhythms, what we all want to remember in this season. Listen to Annie’s podcast “That Sounds Fun” and her amazing books on Amazon.

I know it sounds crazy that we would talk about community in the season, but I believe we need this now more than ever. This is something we were made for, and we can all prioritize. Deeper, real, all-in friendship.

Now more than ever - it’s time for us to stop hiding who God has made us to be and step into the things he has planned for us. Doing the next thing, loving and leading in a hurting world. It will require us to link arms, it will mean we deal with our hurts, it will mean we take risks that are beyond our own abilities and watch God show up and move beyond our wildest dreams.

SEASON 3 STARTS ON JANUARY 28th! I hear all the time from people who feel stuck in patterns of frustration and defeat. In my search for a solution, I learned that the greatest spiritual battle of our generation is taking place between our ears. How we think shapes how we live. So it's crucial that we learn how to stop our spinning thoughts and refuse to fall prey to toxic thinking patterns like victimhood, anxiety, and distraction. In Season 3 of the Made for This podcast, we will focus on biblical truth and recent discoveries in neuroscience to show exactly how we can fight the enemies of the mind with the truth of who God is and who He calls us to be. "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." This means it's possible. Get your copy of Get Out of Your Head and read along with us: getoutofyourheadbook.com

So many of us live stuck. Stuck in trying to seem perfect. Stuck in sadness. Stuck feeling numb. Stuck pursuing more stuff to make us happy. Stuck in something we can't even name. These stuck places often go unattended inside of us and they are shaping our lives more than we would like to think. We've been trying to fix this feeling with everything but... God. He has a plan for these spaces inside of us, the places we feel broken, but we have to go to Him. Season 2 of the Made for This Podcast is here! And we’re going to get UNSTUCK.

Pressure produces some of the best work and the best creativity. It causes me to be intentional in my relationships and conversations. It forces me to depend on God because I can't accomplish what is required of me in a given day, week, or year without the power and strength of God entering in and helping me. Let's talk about 5 ways you can look differently at pressure in life and see it as a help rather than something to avoid at all cost.

One of the biggest barriers I think we all face in friendship is expressing our own needs. I struggle with this! A friend I love told me recently, “Jennie, I just don’t think you need me!” It couldn’t be farther from the truth, but she was right. I have a hard time telling my friends what’s going on in my life and what I need from them. We all just stay within our lines and wave politely at each other rather than getting into the everyday parts of each other’s lives. When I talk about these hard things on the show, just know I’m right there with you in this. I believe in us team!

I can't wait for you to meet my friend Tasha!

How do I make friends? This is a question we all ask no matter our age or stage of life. Join me as I talk about the biggest problem we face as we try to make friends. The Apostle Paul, the author of the letter to the Philippian church, knew this and knew friendship and community were not about him, it was about others and about living on mission. Let’s look at the book of Philippians together to see what happens when God is at the center of our relationships. Let’s also address the elephant in the room… co-dependency. How do we know if we’re in a co-dependent relationship and what do we do about it? We’re going there in episode 1… join us!
