How to Stay Consistent with Jesus (And Completely Surrender to Him)

In this episode of The Disciples Journal, we explore the often-misunderstood concept of Lordship—where Jesus moves from being merely our Savior to becoming the sovereign ruler of every aspect of our lives.Through profound insights from Erica Diggs, we uncover why many believers remain stagnant despite years of church attendance, and how the fundamental issue often traces back to a misunderstanding of true surrender. This discussion will teach you the practical journey to deepening intimacy with Christ, and understand the transformative power of making Jesus not just Savior, but Lord. Whether you're feeling stuck in your faith or seeking to deepen your relationship with Christ, this conversation provides the biblical framework and practical steps for moving from religious activity to genuine relationship with Jesus.

If You Struggle To Accept God's Love (This Is For You)

Have you ever found yourself striving for perfection, thinking that your efforts will make you worthy of God’s love? In this episode of The Disciples Journal, we explore the powerful truth of justification—that we are saved by grace through faith, not by works. No amount of striving or perfection will earn us God’s approval because it has already been given through Jesus. We’ll break down what it means to be justified in Christ, understanding that our relationship with God is based on His love and grace, not our performance. You don’t have to work for God’s love, but rather live from it. Join me as we unpack how God declares us righteous through faith, freeing us from the impossible burden of perfection.

How to Hear God's Voice

Do you struggle to hear God's voice? In this episode we take a deep dive into the nature of listening to the voice of God, and the importance of discernment in our faith journey. I share methods to improve tuning into God's voice by providing three principles: removing distractions in our lives, giving God our undivided attention, and staying in constant communication with Him. I also discusses what might happen when we don't offer God our full attention. The podcast wraps up with emphasizing how simple yet important these principles are. We encourages everyone to maintain discipline in these principles to begin to clearly start hearing God's voice in your life. This episode was recorded awhile ago but felt it was still so applicable.

Season 1 Trailer

Most of us have a problem—we know what the Bible says, but we don’t truly understand what it’s saying. In this season of The Disciples Journal, we dive into the foundational principles of our faith, asking key questions like, “What is the gospel?”, “What am I saved from?”, “How do I break cycles of sin?”, and much more. Some of us have heard these phrases without fully grasping their full meaning. So expect practical, Bible-based discussions that not only explain these concepts but show how to apply them in everyday life. The first episode of The Disciples Journal drops on September 18th, with new episodes releasing every Wednesday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

145. Becoming Out Of Touch

Are you as humble as you think you are? A question that may seem simple, yet it unravels profound truths about our nature. In this riveting episode, we examine the intricate relationship between self-righteousness and humility. We invite you on a journey that navigates through the deep waters of empathy, compassion, and grace. We challenge the notion that we are ever 'out of touch' with the struggles of others. Instead, we affirm how our experiences intertwine, influencing our evangelism and overall human interactions.Diving into Biblical parables like Luke 18:9-14, we illuminate the importance of humility in leading a righteous life. We explore the symbolism of 'light' and 'darkness' as it pertains to knowledge and ignorance, and how these concepts shape our understanding of our faith.

So, join us as we explore these profound truths, and remember, humility isn't thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.Listen & subscribe to Human Hope - https://tinyurl.com/HumanHopePodcast

144. A Deeper Look at Obedience

What does it truly mean to be obedient? In a year like this, obedience can sometimes feel like a challenge too high to conquer. Yet, obedience might not always yield immediate results, but it promises a bountiful harvest at the proper time. As we muse upon experiences and stories from our lives and the biblical fathers - Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, we try to understand the perseverance, faith, and the power of obedience in difficult times. Ever wondered how Paul's words in Romans 12:1, that call us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, translate into our everyday lives? This episode is a deep dive into the concept of surrendering control and letting God be the driver, a concept that can be particularly daunting during uncertain times. We try to shed light on the struggles and beauties associated with this surrender, and how it can truly help us to rest, especially when the road ahead seems uncertain.We wrap up our conversation with the intriguing story of Moses and the Israelites from Numbers 20.

143. Flirting with Sin

Could God trust us with His  assignments if we're still flirting with sin? That's the provocative question we wrestle with in today's episode.

Our attention can easily be diverted by distractions and stumbling blocks, and what we focus on can ultimately control our lives. But by maintaining our focus on Jesus, we can preserve balance in our lives.Finally, we delve deep into the process of seeking God with all our hearts, and how our perspective can influence our view of Him. Like adjusting an iPhone's portrait mode to focus on one thing and make the background blur, we emphasize on unwavering devotion to God, eliminating distractions. We discuss the woman at the well, whose perspective radically shifted upon realizing who she was speaking to, and how we can also have that transformation.

Drawing lessons from Philippians 2:5, we take a deeper look at Jesus's attitude as a model and ponder the coexistence of godly ambitions with humility.We then turn our focus to the realms of conviction, responsibility, and representation, as believers carrying the weight of representing the King in every space we inhabit. Highlighting the stark contrast between conviction to avoid sin and that to walk in the fullness of power, we stress the importance of nurturing the latter. We bring to the table the topic of accountability, shedding light on the need to establish systems that discourage regression to old habits. To top it all off, we delve into the magnificent privilege of being chosen by God and how surrendering to His will can bring forth immense power.

As we journey through the heartland of America, from Louisville, Kentucky to Tulsa, Oklahoma, then on to Dallas, Texas, we grapple with this puzzling aspect of procrastination.

We unpack this bold notion alongside Jerry Flowers' impactful quote, illuminating how procrastination can be seen as an abuse of God's grace.As this enlightening journey progresses, we're compelled to ask ourselves a tough question: Are we so focused on our comfort now that we're willing to trade-off our future peace?

124. Cheap Offerings

Imagine your daily comforts, pleasures, or even time on social media becoming your offering to God? Quite a provoking thought, isn't it? We promise, this episode is going to challenge and provoke you to rethink what sacrifice truly means. It's more than just the grand gestures, the quality of your offerings to God is mirrored by the quality of your relationship with Him. We explore the teachings of Malachi 1:6-11, highlighting that every season of our life presents unique offerings that we need to surrender or 'put on the altar'.Our discussion doesn't stop at just identifying sacrifices. We all are familiar with the easy-to-give offerings, the ones that don't cost us much. But what about the ones that demand our self-control? This episode encourages you to examine your life and identify those hidden areas where gluttony sneaks in, indicating a lack of self-control, and turns your offerings into leftovers rather than the best. Moreover, we delve deep into how our attitude towards giving to others sharply contrasts with our attitude towards giving to God. So, get ready for a riveting conversation that might just revolutionize your perspective on what it truly means to sacrifice for God.Today's Sponsor:ELIC - http://elic.org/justdifferentListen to our Playlist:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1f5gqYjB4Di8QL8RHvzCUs?si=90d88120e4ad4aafApple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/puttin-you-on/pl.u-b3b8VPGSKqymRqa

123. Be the Church

Have you ever stopped to think about what it truly means to seek the kingdom first? In a world that cries out for our attention at every turn, we dive headfirst into exploring the meaning of genuine kingdom-seeking. In drawing from the apostles' example, we uncover how they weren't interested in the crowd, they were focused on the kingdom - and in turn, the crowd found them. This deep and thought-provoking discussion is an invitation for us all to be more intentional and proactive about sharing our faith, no matter where we are or who we're with.Stepping beyond the confines of Sundays, we challenge the notion that Christianity is a once-a-week affair. Every Christian is in full-time ministry, and the danger of becoming passive in our relationship with Jesus is real. We reflect on how our modern church culture can inadvertently turn the gospel into a consumable product rather than an active lifestyle. The apostles didn't just share the gospel; they lived it - and we are called to do the same. This conversation is a gentle but firm call to action, reminding us that evangelism and discipleship should be a daily commitment, not just a Sunday routine.Finally, we navigate the delicate balance of seeking God's face and hand. Both are integral to our spiritual journey, but the priority has to be seeking His face. We dig into scriptures like 1 Timothy 6:6 and 1 Corinthians 12:31 to better understand this balance. We also acknowledge the pressure to follow God's will and how it can distort our full experience of His grace and love. In discussing this delicate balance, we hope to encourage a shift in perspective - viewing our relationship with Jesus as a desire, not an obligation. So, join us as we journey together in discovering more about our faith and growing closer to Jesus.Today's Sponsor:ELIC - http://elic.org/justdifferentListen to our Playlist:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1f5gqYjB4Di8QL8RHvzCUs?si=90d88120e4ad4aafApple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/puttin-you-on/pl.u-b3b8VPGSKqymRqa

We provide insights on aligning your energy towards intercession and the role of a 'quiet life' in gospel ministry. Drawing inspiration from Luke 5:1-3, we unpack the power of separating oneself from the world's hustle, not as an act of exclusion but a dedicated effort to spread the gospel.

120. Celebrity Worship

Ever wonder how the intoxicating lure of fame can easily tip into idolatry? We unpack this complex issue, stirred by recent real-life events where a Twitch streamer's giveaway spiraled into a riot. Drawing wisdom from the Bible, we scrutinize King Herod's story, reminding us that God's gifts are meant to serve people and the glory should, without fail, be directed heavenwards. We don't just stop there. We also dissect the responsibilities that come with fame, particularly for those using their platforms to promote God's word. Remember John the Baptist? His life teachings offer stellar insights about leading by example and pointing people back to God. But the pitfalls of fame are many and we don't shy away from discussing them - from the intoxicating admiration that fuels pride to the mental health implications of always being under scrutiny. We also draw from Romans 8:5 to emphasize the significance of the mind's diet in shaping our actions.As we wrap up, we tackle the thorny issue of performance pressure that comes with fame, especially in this era of social media. Incorporating lessons from how Jesus retreated when his popularity surged, we stress on the need for caution and intentionality when using these platforms. We also revisit the command of Sabbath and its relevance in today's times. Lastly, we examine the necessity of a quiet life, away from the prying eyes of the public, rooting our discussions in the understanding that misplaced worship can be detrimental. So tune in and let's journey through celebrity, fame, idolatry, and humility, guided by Jesus' teachings.Join our Community: https://just-different.circle.so/checkout/communityListen to our Playlist:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1f5gqYjB4Di8QL8RHvzCUs?si=90d88120e4ad4aafApple: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/puttin-you-on/pl.u-b3b8VPGSKqymRqa
