Welcome to the Journey Podcast

We all think there’s a destination that we’re aspiring to, but what’s really important and overlooked is the Journey.

Transcript follows:

Do you ever feel like you started out walking with the Lord, and you were so excited, and everything was so amazing and so vibrant, He was so big and so real and so in your face, and so alive and so tangible and all the things.

And then as you walk out your relationship, suddenly you’re like, “Lord, where are You? Lord, are You still here? Lord, did I leave You, did You leave me? What happened? What’s changed?” Continue reading “Welcome to the Journey Podcast”

Holy Moments

Feel like you just washed up on the shore, like driftwood from 2024? Wondering how to pull yourself together for the next wave, 2025? I discovered a life buoy that might help in this new season.

I recently enjoyed a wonderful afternoon, three friends catching up after a year of losses, battles, upheavals. Ready to wrap up 2024 like a half-eaten biscuit and embrace this new season with excitement.

After laughing, growling, prepping for what’s next, we parted ways, basking in the bliss of being together. Being with friends you can cuss and spit with, as you help each other sift through the turbulence, knowing they will always have your back, always be there for you is time well spent. What we don’t often realize when we meet with good friends is that we are experiencing a holy moment. Continue reading “Holy Moments”

Abiding in the Hands of a Merciful God

A guest post by Bill McPherson . . .

CHAPTER ONE

I recently experienced a horrendous fall off a cliff. I live on the side of a mountain which has a pitch of about 45 degrees (no exaggeration). A construction project 2 years ago included construction of a concrete retaining wall 12 feet from the house capped with a concrete patio (with a deck 20’ above). The drop from the patio to the ground is roughly six feet. You see it coming, don’t you? Don’t get ahead. Listen.

Honoring the Sacrifice of Fellowship

I had someone contact me this week to interpret a dream.  Basically, she had a dream she was in college.  The next thing she heard was Leviticus 3 and 4.  The highlight of these scriptures is “… sacrifice of fellowship offerings …”

What an incredibly interesting God we serve! And He never ceases to amaze me with the way He plays with words, symbolism, and His unexpected sense of humor.

Dedicating Your Home and Land to God

Here is a testimony regarding sin/curses passing with the land and the beautiful process of consecrating your land to release the blessings.

When my husband and I moved to our property 22 years ago, almost immediately, we started ending every argument with the word “divorce.” Strangely enough, we had never used that word prior to moving to Dahlonega. Before long, we began to feel that divorce was our only answer. Thankfully, we both turned to God for direction. The Lord prompted us to repent for any sin/trespasses that had occurred on our property. (Not only ours, but also with anybody that had owned the land before us.) We followed the processes of consecration, pouring new wine, oil, new grain into our land, planted a Bible, and took communion as a family.

We later discovered that every time our land had been sold, it was because of broken relationships. The curse of broken covenant had passed with our land, and we were starting to reap the fruit of it. That took place 22 years ago, and the word “divorce” has not been a go-to for us any longer. As a matter of fact, we have lived safe, peaceful, blessed lives on our land. As well, others who visit have commented about how quiet and peaceful our home and land are.

Liminal Space: The Act of Observation

I recently had a session with a friend who started out by saying, “Everything in my world is spinning. I can’t get any peace about anything that is happening in my world.” (It might be important for me to say that this lady has everything in the world to be content. She has an amazing husband, lives a very successful lifestyle, a beautiful career in a field she is gifted in, and two beautiful children … and this is not an exhaustive list of her blessings. I was surprised to hear her say how frustrated she was, and I was intrigued as to what we were about to explore.

Wearing a Matter

As many of you may (or may not) know, my son just picked a university!!! Not without many visits, many explorations, etc. that go along with such an important decision.

Finally, we had it narrowed down to two schools. One has an incredible sports program, is more than 36 “driving” hours away from our house, and offered him an incredible scholarship. The second school (and my personal fav) offers an incredible Biomechanics (also sports med but more robotic) program, is only 5 hours away, and offered him an even better scholarship.

In the end, we told McKinley he was the one who was going to have to live with his decision and we would support either. So, the process began. I offered advice (as usual). My suggestion when choosing between one or more options is to “wear it.”

Sabbatismos!

If you’ve been around me for any amount of time, you’ll know that one of my favorite words is “katartismos.”  This Greek word comes out of Ephesians 4:12 and refers to “fitting together in proper order” (referring to gifts, etc. in the Body of Christ).

Another definition of this word (which is my personal favorite) is “a chiropractic adjustment in the Spirit.”  Many of you experienced this during our most recent retreat.  You will also experience it many times during your ongoing prayer ministry sessions.

Today, however, I would like to introduce you to my new favorite word!!! “Sabbatismos!”  (Ref. Hebrews 4:10.)

Questioning Everything

Inner healing, identity, and dark night of the soul

Have you ever felt like one day you woke up and everything you believed was in question? I’m experiencing this right now but am quite sure I am not yet even fully awake. So, not only am I questioning all of the things that I have always “known” for sure, but I am also groggy from the process of getting here. It took a lot of upheaval to get me here.
