Obedience in daily life is... H.A.R.D! What does it look like? How do I know I'm obeying God? What if I wait to obey God? Obedience is a topic that we sometimes shy away from because it can lead to conviction of our lack of obedience. Today we get the chance to talk with Emilee about what obedience looks like in her life and a big step of obedience she took recently with God! She is one of those authentic friends that you just can't get enough! I love what she shares and how she encourages us to keep following God!

Emilee is a wife, writer, and creative that loves drinking coffee, studying Scripture, and playing Catan with friends! Emilee loves partnering with Christ-centered clients using her gifts in graphic design and marketing. She equips women through local discipleship, coaching at With The Shepherd, and she is always, always writing! Connect with her on Instagram @emileekkurt

Key Take Aways!

• There are different personalities in the authors of the bible and it helps us relate to scripture more
• Seek God in your calling and let him be your prize
• Obedience is your responsibility but the outcome is God’s
• let God fill you with grace and truth
• look at what your motive is for your obedience, is it for praise or for your love of Jesus?
• Our fears can keep us from fully obeying God
• you do the natual and let God do the supernatural
• train your brain to hear god and obey him when he speaks
• when you don’t obey what god has asked of you, it is a sin for you
• What God asks of you isn’t going to be what he asks of others, do what God has called you to do

This week I had the opportunity to sit down with Pastor Greg Lindsey, a trial attorney turned church planter who has been the lead pastor of Discovery Church in Colorado Springs for over fifteen years. He is also one of the founding leaders of COSILoveYou, a Colorado Springs-based organization committed to uniting and igniting the local church in love for the city. Greg and his wife, Stacy, have been married forty years and have four daughters and nine grandkids.

He just recently released his book, The Rest of Your Story: The Path to the Christian Life You Want ! Our conversation has so many amazing take aways and I listed just a few below... but can I tell you one thing... go get this book! It will bless you!!

Big Take Aways:

• People have left Jesus and been in religion
• We can’t believe or behave our way to the life we want
• We understand the significance of our sins but we don’t have adequate context about our stories
• Jesus came to rescue us
• We live forgiven because of what Jesus did on the cross, but do we live today like it matters?
• Sin isn’t the win for Satan
• Be aware of the Devil’s schemes
• The enemy is after your identity
• We need to live as if we need saved every day from sin, because we do!
• Invite Jesus back into those hurt moments & see how God sees you in them not what you see
• Don’t diminish your story because of someone else’s
• What is the theme of lies the enemy is using against you to go after your identity?
• You can’t win a battle you don’t believe exists

Today's episode is with my new friend June Chapman. She is the real deal folks! She is authentic and shares with us how to have peace in the waiting, who doesn't need some help with that? We've all experience waiting periods in our lives and walking through them without peace is miserable! We talk all about it today!

June's greatest hope is that she might come alongside you in your journey of waiting and help redirect focus to brazen trust, broken surrender, and bold worship before Jesus. By the Lord’s great, abundant mercy, my writing led to a book: Peace in the Waiting: When You Love People Who Don’t Love God. Learn more and order your copy!

She hopes her writing will point you to the truth of John 1:5 and to the glory of God. His light really does shine in the darkness. When life is hard, and things don’t make sense, she hopes her words direct you to a God who meets you in sorrow, confusion, and doubt and says He is with you. She hopes together we can run our race well – exalting the name of God, doing His will in the world, and living on mission to spread the good news of the gospel far and wide.

Connect with June & get the book!

These are some of the main take aways I wanted to share with you!

• Hopelessness isn't fixed over night, it's a process
• Join God in the waiting, get your focus off of yourself and onto Jesus
• Learn the habits of how lament and worship go hand in hand
• Prayer is a way we can experience peace in the waiting
• If you don’t know what to pray, pray scripture
• We need to accept that we are only intercessors in prayer, God does all the work!
• Take your pain and lament to God, not to the world because it will consume you
• There is a vast expanse between waiting and waiting well
• Focus less on what you don’t know and more on who you know (God)
• Take your thoughts captive and fill your mind with scripture
