Journeywomen

Last week, we discussed creation and the rebellion of man, and today we’re digging deeper into the reality of our rebellion with Dr. Rebecca DeYoung. Rebecca DeYoung has extensively researched the topic of sin, and while sin and rebellion might not seem like the most encouraging topics, we hope you’ll see in this conversation that as we grow in awareness of our brokenness, we only grow in our recognition and awe of God’s grace to us despite our sin! We pray that as you listen to this conversation you come to a deeper understanding of what God has rescued us from.  FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How might better understanding your sin be a help to you and spur you on towards Christlikeness? Are there patterns of thought or rhythms of desire you’ve fallen into that are thwarting the good life God intends for you? How does Christ having paid the penalty for your sin change how you now live and fight your sin? How does remembering how much God loved you, even in your sin, change how you move towards and engage those around you in love? What are you going to do or implement as a result of what you’ve learned this week?  FOR MORESubscribe: iTunes | AndroidFollow Us: Instagram | FacebookSupport the podcast by writing a review Interviews do not imply Journeywomen’s endorsement of all writings and positions of the interviewee or any other resources mentioned.  Affiliate links used are used where appropriate.

We pray that as you listen to this conversation you grow in your knowledge and your love for God and that it makes you eager to pick up your Bible to know and love him more!   FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How, why, and for what purpose did God create us? How did Christ save us from our sin? How does your understanding of the imago dei affect how you view your brothers and sisters in Christ? What about how you view non-Christians? How does understanding your sin affect how you see and receive the redemptive work of Christ? What are you going to do or implement as a result of what you’ve learned this week?   FOR MORESubscribe: iTunes | AndroidFollow Us: Instagram | FacebookSupport the podcast by writing a review Interviews do not imply Journeywomen’s endorsement of all writings and positions of the interviewee or any other resources mentioned.  Affiliate links used are used where appropriate.

If you know much about him, you know there’s nobody better than John Piper to speak on the topic of God’s Providence. Our hope is that this episode will offer you an opportunity to reflect upon and meditate on the providence of God.   FULL SHOW NOTES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What feelings does the topic of God’s providence elicit in you? Does it make you feel comforted? Awed? Encouraged? Overwhelmed? Thankful? All of history, including eternity past and running forward to eternity future, points to the goal of the glory of God. What steps can you take in your life to magnify and point to God’s glory?  How does your understanding of God’s providence lead you to awe and worship?
