Made For This with Jennie Allen

So last week we talked about the Holy Spirit and this week we are going to talk about actually praying. On today's episode we are talking about the fact that most people say they pray and they actually don't. Let me ask you a question: "When is the last time you actually formed words to God?" If God is in control why do we pray? Visit Audible.com/madeforthis or text madeforthis to 500-500 to start your free 30-day trial.

Imagine you're sitting at dinner with us and we're talking about the Holy Spirit and truth and how we cannot separate the two. It's the only way forward. I cannot wait for you to hear this episode!

We're going to talk candidly today about what I think we're missing out on when we don't believe God is who He says He is and that the Holy Spirit can change us. And I want to fight for you to get free.

This is one of those stories you won't believe! Meet my friends Luke and Daniel. They live risky, bold lives with Jesus and have seen God move in people's lives as a result. Listen all the way to the end. Don't miss this episode and share it with a friend! Fireplace www.fireplacenashville.com Wilco United www.wilcounited.com

In the middle of our spiraling, we need something to hold fast to... someone and it's Jesus. But what does this really mean in our day to day life? Let's start our 10-week journey right here.

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. The good thing about fragility? It leads to dependence on God and the community around us.
