The Scripture is one of the Lord’s best ways to talk to us, a way for us to converse with God. It is also a good reminder of who Jesus is and who we are to Him. Most say praying with scriptures is good, but how do we do that? In this episode, we will offer some initial guidance on praying with scriptures and provide some good practices that might be helpful for us to have a more fruitful relationship with God through the scriptures.

A Father And Son Moment
There’s an intense vulnerability to letting people into your most tender moments. Allowing someone to witness a private, cherished part of life is no small thing, and being a witness to one of these moments is an honor.

Older Son (Literal Sense)
Have you ever felt frustrated, overlooked, or distant, even though you find yourself doing the “right” things?

And what starts to emerge is something deeply human: a struggle with comparison, entitlement, and not fully receiving the Father’s love.
They unpack how easy it is to stay close in proximity but far in relationship and how the older son’s experience can quietly mirror our own spiritual lives.
Join us as we take an honest look at the older son and allow the Father to meet us right where we are.
