   Season 4, Episode 6: What are we preserving?

   As nurses, we understand preservation. We preserve life, protect healthy tissue, prevent harm, and intervene before deterioration becomes irreversible. But spiritually, we need to ask a deeper question: What is God asking us to preserve—and what are we fighting to preserve that He may be asking us to surrender? Through the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8, Paula and Melinda explore the remarkable way Jesus holds truth and mercy, holiness and compassion, conviction and grace together. He preserves the woman’s dignity and offers mercy without preserving her sin. In this episode, we consider what it means for Christian nurses to preserve the Gospel, our compassion, integrity, tenderness, unity, and witness—even in environments that can leave us weary or cynical. And we confront a challenging question: Are we preserving Christ’s truth and His people, or are we simply trying to preserve our own comfort, reputation, control, and right to be right? Maybe spiritual resilience isn’t about becoming harder or learning to protect ourselves from everything that hurts. Maybe it’s learning what must be protected—and trusting God enough to surrender everything else. Don’t spend your life preserving what God has asked you to surrender. Preserve the truth. Preserve compassion. Preserve your witness. Preserve the Gospel. And trust the One who has promised to preserve you.

   Season 4, Episode 5Remember and Trust: Looking Back to Move Forward

   Why does God repeatedly tell His people to remember? In this episode of The Anchored Nurse Podcast, Paula and Melinda explore how God's repeated reminders of the Red Sea, manna from heaven, water from the rock, and His victories over Israel's enemies were designed to strengthen His people's trust during new trials. Together, they discuss how remembering God's past faithfulness fuels present-day faith and how this biblical principle applies directly to nursing. Just as God builds trust through unwavering faithfulness, nurses and nurse educators cultivate healing, learning, and resilience by consistently demonstrating compassion, integrity, and reliability. Join us for Scripture, practical nursing application, reflection questions, and encouragement to trust the God who has never failed His people.

   S4 E4: New Every Morning-Living in the Mercy of God

   🎙️ New Every Morning: Finding Hope in God's Endless Mercy Have you ever replayed yesterday's mistakes, wondering if you've failed God, your family, or even your patients? As nurses, we often carry the weight of difficult shifts long after we've gone home. As Christians, we can be tempted to believe that God is disappointed in us, waiting for us to "do better." But Scripture tells a different story. Inspired by Micah Tyler's powerful song **"New Today,"** Paula and Melinda dive into one of the most hope-filled promises in the Bible: > *"Through the LORD'S mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."* (Lamentations 3:22–23, NKJV) Together, they explore what God's mercy truly means, the difference between conviction and condemnation, why the blood of Christ frees us from yesterday's failures, and how every sunrise is a reminder of God's unwavering faithfulness. Whether you're coming off a difficult nursing shift, wrestling with regret, or simply needing encouragement, this episode reminds us that we don't have to carry yesterday into today. ### In This Episode * Why Jeremiah proclaimed God's faithfulness in the middle of devastation * The difference between God's mercy and God's grace * Why believers often struggle to forgive themselves * Psalm 103 and the compassionate heart of our Heavenly Father * The Prodigal Son and the God who runs toward repentant sinners * How God's mercy transforms the way we care for patients, coworkers, and our families * Practical encouragement for beginning each day with renewed hope ### Scriptures Discussed * Lamentations 3:22–23 * Psalm 103:8–14 * Romans 8:1 * Hebrews 4:16 * 1 John 1:9 * Ephesians 1:7 * Isaiah 43:18–19 * Philippians 3:13–14 * Psalm 30:5 * Isaiah 40:31 * Luke 15:11–32 (The Prodigal Son) 🎵 **Listen to Micah Tyler's "New Today" (Official Music Video):** [Micah Tyler – New Today (Official Music Video)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svahd4Gx0Cs&utm_source=chatgpt.com) ### Reflection Questions 1. What "yesterday" are you still carrying that God has already forgiven? 2. Is there a difference between conviction and condemnation in your life right now? 3. How would your relationships change if you extended mercy as freely as Christ has extended it to you? 4. Does your view of God resemble the compassionate Father described in Psalm 103 and Luke 15, or do you tend to picture Him as perpetually disappointed? 5. What practical reminder could help you begin each morning with gratitude for God's new mercies? 6. How can remembering God's mercy change the way you care for your patients, coworkers, students, or family this week? **If this episode encouraged you, we'd love for you to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs the reminder that God's mercies are not only sufficient—they are *new every morning*.** *"Great is Your faithfulness."* (Lamentations 3:23) ([youtube.com][1]) [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svahd4Gx0Cs&utm_source=chatgpt.com "New Today"
