God’s never going to give you more than you can handle” – it is really easy to look at punchy one-liners like this one on social media and take them as the whole truth. But do you measure them against God’s word before you take them as the whole truth? The Spirit calls us to use The Word as a measuring stick for truth. He is our guide and gives us wisdom as we walk through life.

The Spirit is meant to bring clarity to us and teach us. All throughout scripture, the Spirit clarifies who Jesus is and points back to the truth (the Son and the Father) teaching us how to be more like Him.

Colossians 3 says to put on attributes like kindness, compassion, patience, gentleness, and more). It is not easy to do everyday, but it is a choice we make everyday day. And if we practice it enough it becomes a habit. By surrendering to the Spirit’s work in us, He will enable us to walk in those attributes, lean into His wisdom, and walk in His Spirit.

The Spirit produces the fruit in us but that takes time. The more time you spend with the Spirit, the more you are nourished and grow. When we get frustrated that we don’t feel we are growing it is easy to be discouraged and bow out. But God is still at work within you. Don’t lose hope. He is developing the fruit in you. Be patient with yourself; He is patient with you.

In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss:

The importance of measuring everything against the Word of God.
How we are unified as the body of Christ because of The Spirit.
Learning from others with different opinions is healthy for you and your faith.
Why kindness is so important to Candace and the story behind her book “Kind Is The New Classy”
The Fruit of the Spirit – and how it is ONE fruit with 9 attributes, not 9 different fruits.
The difference between a transactional and relational partnership with the Spirit.

Scripture Memory of the Season:

1 John 5:1-4 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him. This is how we know that we love God’s children; when we love God and obey His commands. For this is what love for God is: to keep His commands. And his commands are not a burden, because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith.

Tara Leigh Cobble - The Spirit of God is always with us

Who is the Holy Spirit? This is such a common question that is asked when it comes to fully understanding The Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the most mysterious (and sometimes confusing) within the triad. Before Jesus went back to Heaven, He said “I am sending the Spirit who is better than me.” Better than Jesus? That doesn’t sound right. But it is. The Holy Spirit is not a force or power used by God. He is a person who has responsibilities and characteristics that help guide us through life. And Jesus knew we needed Him.

Candace and Tara-Leigh sit down and dive into the mystery of The Holy Spirit in hopes of helping us understand who He is and how He works in us. They also share personal stories from their faith journey; and Candace talks about the time her husband baptized her in the ocean (grab your tissues! It’s a beautiful story).

As you listen to this conversation, we hope you are inspired to take your relationship with God deeper through The Holy Spirit. Did you know you can read your Bible in ONE year just by reading for 12 minutes a day? That makes studying God’s word more, seem possible.

In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss:

Building good habits (especially with reading and studying your Bible).
The moment Candace began to understand and desire to read the Bible.
Who The Holy Spirit is and how He fits into The Trinity.
Baptism; what it is and why it is important to your walk with Jesus.

Tara Leigh Cobble - Prayer is about God communicating with us

1 Recommendations

Prayer is a conversation with God that He desires to have with us. He is never too busy for us, never bothered by our requests or prayers, and certainly is not bored when we talk to Him. When we pray, God is always there, always listening, and always receiving.

Prayer is a place where all 3 persons of The Trinity are at work. When we pray, we are talking to the Father, through Jesus (because of the connection He made possible for us), and the Holy Spirit is empowering us in and through prayer.

Two common questions people ask when it comes to prayer are:

How do I pray?
Why do I need to pray to God when He knows everything?

In today’s episode, Candace and Tara-Leigh dig into those two questions, and more. If you don’t know how to pray or feel like you aren’t good at praying, or you feel like you don’t understand why prayer matters – take a breath and rest easy. Let’s go on this journey together!

In this episode, you will hear Candace and Tara-Leigh discuss:

Prayer as a conversation with the Trinity and how that perspective of prayer will challenge the way we pray.
How prayer can be taught or developed; it is a skill Jesus taught His disciples and can teach us too.
What “in Jesus name, Amen” actually means and the power it carries when we pray.
Moments in their lives where they have seen their prayers answered (in ways they desired and in ways they did not expect).
Tips for listening and meditating in silence with God; it may be difficult but it is powerful.

Scripture Memory of the Season:

1 John 5:1-5 (CSB) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of him.

And His commands are not a burden, because everyone who has been born of God conquers the world. This is the victory that has conquered the world: our faith. Who is the one who conquers the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
