God is the kindest person you will ever meet in your life. He's so good, that he answers even the smallest of prayers - the ones that are so small you might be forgiven for thinking they don't even count as thoughts let alone prayers. If that sounds too good to be true, we’ve got a bunch of stories from the Bible, our own life and even give you a 5 step process to partnering with the goodness of God.
We're all looking for a way forward in life. A quick browse through social media and you'll find plenty of people offering to help you navigate to the top and crush the competition. On this week's episode, AJ offers ancient wisdom found in Psalm 23. If you've been looking for a blueprint for life, check out this episode.
Favor. It’s that thing that’s hard to describe, often misunderstood and sometimes the mere talk of it is divisive. However a life filled with favor is a delight and it’s your inheritance. In this episode we unpack some of what we’ve learned from living with favor.
Last minute bonus: learn how you can offer practical help to those fleeing Afghanistan.
You had lots and lots of questions about relationships. Things like how do you know when a relationship is over? What do you do when friends don’t prioritize you? How to you practice vulnerability? What about building friendships when you have small kids? Is it ever okay to end a friendship with church people? How do you handle friendship when you’re in ministry? How do you avoid cliques? What about new friendships when you’re already relationally full?
These are just some of the questions we answer on this episode.
Our final episode in the back to basics series is all about giving! This episode we talk about God’s design for giving, how to partner with his design and why we’re often so reluctant to give.
It's hard for us to comprehend that we've got this far in and haven't recorded an episode on the kindness of God, but to our shock we hadn't. Consider this our efforts to correct that oversight.
Yes, sorry, horrible title. But in all honesty, we do have a lot to catchup on. This week we bring you up to speed on the last few weeks, talk about Alyn vs the toad, Alyn's birthday and AJ's plants. It's more listenable than this description sounds, we promise.
We tried to have our friends Ben & Sarah Jackson on this week, but it was too hot in the studio. So instead you have to settle for just us, talking about blessing and all the controversy the topic brings with it. Plus we go bed shopping and watch Arrival.
A random find while packing the house leads to some thinking about our past, our present and our future. Plus a question on the orphan spirit from a listener. Shorter this week but blame that on the house move.
In response to listeners' feedback that we have longer episodes and that we answer more listeners' questions here's a new longer length episode with an answer to a listener's question! The orphan spirit is the way of thinking that keeps us trapped so tightly that we can't experience God's best for our life. Find out what it is and how it works in this week's episode of Keeping Up With The Joneses.
You and I have a glorious future, yet too often we can't see it because we're focussing on the wrong things. This week we get distracted by a new game, get revelation from our kids and talk exciting date nights. But most of all, we talk about the nature of God, His eternal optimism and our happy future.
This one's a winner. You've got AJ's whistling nostril, AJ's story of how she started smoking and some talk about the most disbelieved verse in the Bible. Also, stories of how you can kick start blessing in your life and we answer a listener question about soaking.
A special episode with our friends Sam & Tink McLeod continuing our recent chats about favor and destiny. We invited these guys to share their story that started with a fleeting thought and has now transitioned into moving countries. Plus, how to make poached eggs for 10 people at a time and great ideas for children's books.
Favor is awesome. Favor opens doors you didn't even know existed. This week we talk about what it is, how you get it, how you steward it and how to follow it. Don't worry, there's a fish taco update too and we talk Apple Watches.
I mean seriously, who doesn't love Josh & Sarah Parsons? Following on from last week's episode on destiny, this episode we ask Josh & Sarah to tell their story of moving to Nashville, finding favor, watch their dreams die, working hard and stepping into their destiny. This is a great episode that will be an encouragement to any of you who feel "stuck".
