12.22 Behind-the-Scenes Conversations, with Asheritah & Hannah
What image comes to mind when you hear the word prayer? What if prayer became less of a regular spiritual chore and more of a conversational friendship with God? What if God invites us to an ongoing exchange of whispers throughout our day—us whispering to Him and Him whispering right back to our hearts? What if our prayer lives reflected equitable amounts of both talking and listening? In those places in our lives where we feel burdened, broken, or burned-out, God invites us into this rhythm of ongoing communion with Him. And as we commune with God, conversing with Him throughout our day, He will restore our joy.

12.20 Behind-the-Scenes Conversations, with Asheritah & Hannah
The way we approach reading the Bible NOW is usually not how Jesus Himself approached the Word of God! Yes, a daily “quiet time” is a beautiful thing. But up until about 400 years ago, Christians did not have personal Bibles in their homes! What can we learn from them, and what can we learn from the ways Jesus delighted in the Word? As a human, He took on all the limitations of flesh, which means when He was memorizing Deuteronomy (when Satan tempts Him, Jesus quotes Deuteronomy three times!), He had to learn like every other human child does. In Scripture, we see that Jesus listened to, memorized, sang, spoke, and taught the Word.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:My brand new book – Delighting in Jesus: Rhythms to Restore Joy When You Feel Burdened, Broken, or Burned-Out https://amzn.to/3Zb5HAiJohn 1:14Romans 6:23Simply Bible: https://www.simplybiblestudy.org/John 5:39John 15:26-27John 16:12-13Join the FREE Online Book Club with Asheritah and Hannah: https://www.delightinginjesus.com/bookclubNow through Christmas, we have thank-you gifts for everyone who orders Delighting in Jesus!

12.18 Behind-the-Scenes Conversations, with Asheritah & Hannah
We tend to think of worship as the singing that happens in church on Sunday mornings. Some of us enjoy that more than others, and it’s easy to dismiss worship as something a worship team does. But the biblical view of worship is actually much broader and encompasses all of life, not just the singing parts. For those in the kingdom of God, all of life is sacred, and all of life is worship. How we live, how we work, how we parent, how we eat, how we love, how we play, how we make out or make up . . . it’s all worship. Or, it can be, if it’s offered as a gift to the One who made us and delights in us.
