God on the Mountaintops and in the Messes

Welcome, everyone, to the top of this episode and the top of Mount Sinai! It’s been a few weeks, but we are back with Moses and talking about all kinds of good things, like the benefits of taking time to recall what God has done, sifting through the details to get to the heart of things, and how we are designed for community—regardless of the mess.

Because the truth is God knew this would be messy. He knew we would need Him, He designed us that way, and He draws us to Himself because He loves us. Keep that in mind as we dive in, because if anyone is messy, it’s us.

Mo People Mo Problems

Hey, Friends! Welcome back to Light in Your Corner! We are in Exodus 18 and picking on Moses as we talk about leadership, mentorship, time management, ministry, and a hodgepodge of other stuff. Isn’t it great that God gives us the knowledge of His grace and love, and also some good pictures of what NOT to do?

ALSO:

• Where’s Corm?
• Speak up and see what happens
• Pious Bias
• Accessing the Word for ourselves
• Having/Being a Jethro
• Not aspiring to Christian leadership
• Delegating as part of God’s plan

When is Enough Enough?

Welcome, everyone, to our 70th episode! If God had only given us 10 episodes, that would have been enough, but He keeps on giving! And this episode has a lot to offer.

After all our book recommendations, we are going to dive into one of God’s most famous tests—the manna. Exodus 16 and 17 force us to ask the question, “What do I do when there isn’t enough?”

In truth, we ask a lot of questions today because we all go through our share of Eden and Wilderness seasons. So how do we navigate those seasons and trust that Jesus is the true answer to all our needs? Stick around and we will talk about it!

• Interrupting the forgetting process
• Comfort Books
• Valuing the Giver over the gifts
• The difference between grumbling and grieving
• True Sabbath rest
• Jesus is better than manna
