The Daily Grace Podcast

This is the second episode in our Mistakes We've Made in Bible Study series and we're talking about the mistake of reading with our heart and not our head. What do we mean by reading with our heart and not our head? We mean that we decide what Scripture means by feeling only and not by fact. While our hearts should absolutely be engaged in Bible reading, when we read with only our hearts and not our heads, we run the risk of an incomplete or incorrect interpretation. And that can lead us to misunderstand who God is and how He relates to His people.   So… learn from our mistake! Come listen to this episode and let us teach you how we’ve learned to read with both our heart and our head.   Sign up for the Daily Grace Podcast Newsletter and receive the free resource "Scripture for Every Season.”   Time Stamps: 1:01 - Favorite Things 2:12 - What does it mean to read with our heart and not our head? 6:42 - What happens if we only read the Bible with our heart 9:50 - Reading with your head AND your heart 13:08 - Don't miss out on God's story by making the Bible about yourself 13:55 - How to get started reading the Bible with your head and your heart   Favorite Things: Adidas CloudFoam Shoes Kirkland Banana Chocolate Protein Drinks   Resources mentioned in this episode:  Quiet Time Tips Podcast Series Beyond the Basics Workshop   Connect with us: Subscribe to Daily Grace: on iOS, go to our Apple podcast page and click subscribe.  On Android, click this podcast RSS feed link and choose your podcast app.  If needed, you can copy this link directly into your favorite podcast app (like Stitcher or Overcast).

This is the first episode in our summer series: Mistakes We've Made in Bible Study! In today’s episode, we chat about a mistake we’ve made more times than we can count—quitting before we even get started. We chat through the reasons we might call it quits on Bible study—from apathy to overwhelm. We also share what helps us continue on in deep Bible study when we want to call it quits. This quick and easy to listen to episode is only 16 minutes long, but we pray it encourages you to press on and press into deep Bible study!

In today’s episode, Bible teacher Elizabeth Woodson shows us some helpful places to start when it comes to Bible study! She talks about ways we can study in order to avoid major interpretation traps as well as the heart behind why we study. We shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes in our study of Scripture. (Because we will make mistakes!) Instead, we should let it draw us closer to the Lord, relying on the Spirit to help us as we learn biblical truths. If you want to grow in your ability to rightly handle the Word of God, then you won’t want to miss this conversation!

In this episode, Krystal and Shelby chat with author Amy DiMarcangelo about holy discontentment and how the craving we all feel for more is a God-given desire. Amy specifically encourages those who are in seasons of life that feel easy to continue to seek the Lord rather than become complacent and comfortable. We also chat with Amy about what it’s like to be a woman pursuing a seminary degree and she shares her hope that more women will pursue higher theological education. We know that you’ll enjoy this chat with Amy and we pray it encourages you to see your craving for more as a craving for the Lord!

What is the one thing that you deeply desire? Maybe it’s a relationship, a job, an opportunity, or a positive pregnancy test. We all know what it’s like to want something, yet not receive it. We also know what it’s like to watch others receive the very thing we want while we sit with empty hands. Today on the Daily Grace Podcast we talk about how to untangle all of the emotions associated with the question, “why not me?” We’ll discuss how to be honest about our emotions, honor others, and honor the Lord when we feel disappointed and discouraged. We pray that this episode meets you right where you are and offers you gospel hope and practical help.

In this episode, Shelby and Krystal chat with Caroline Saunders about a theology of home. Caroline helps us look at Scripture and see what it tells us about our homes. We will see that God is the very best home maker, that He is a home defender, and that He is preparing a perfect home for us in eternity. Caroline’s relatable and thoughtful explanation of the theology of home will change the way you view your home and all of the sorrows and joys it holds! We pray this episode encourages you to be thankful for the way Jesus came and made His home with us so that we might be able to live eternally in the home He is preparing for us.

Anger is something we don’t often want to talk about. We can minimize our own struggles with anger, or we can neglect to see anger in our own hearts. However, we believe it is extremely important to discuss how anger impacts our personal relationships and our relationship with the Lord.  In this conversation, Shelby and Krystal address some key questions: is anger a sin? Can it be controlled? How can we identify and work through our anger? How does the gospel inform our perspective and our response to anger? These are ones we have both wrestled with over the years and we hope it is helpful to you as we go to God’s Word to find these answers. We pray this episode is a practical reminder of God’s saving work in our lives as we honor Him in our words and actions.
