   Ep. 395: When Your God Has to Be Carried

   SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 395, “When Your God Has to Be Carried,” Kim discusses the striking contrast between the powerless idols of Jeremiah 10:1–16 and the all-powerful God who speaks in Job 38. While idols had to be created, decorated, secured, and carried by human hands, the true God laid the earth’s foundations, commands the seas, and orders creation by His word. This episode challenges us to consider the modern “idols” we may be depending on for security, identity, or control. Why carry something that can never carry you when you can trust the God who holds all of creation in His hands? Our focal passage for this episode is Jeremiah 10:1-16. 2 This is what the Lord says: “Do not act like the other nations,    who try to read their future in the stars.Do not be afraid of their predictions,    even though other nations are terrified by them. 3 Their ways are futile and foolish.    They cut down a tree, and a craftsman carves an idol. 4 They decorate it with gold and silver    and then fasten it securely with hammer and nails    so it won’t fall over. 5 Their gods are like    helpless scarecrows in a cucumber field!They cannot speak,    and they need to be carried because they cannot walk.Do not be afraid of such gods,    for they can neither harm you nor do you any good.” WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: This week, identify one good thing you may be asking to provide something only God can give, and intentionally put it back in its proper place by thanking God for the gift while trusting the Giver more than the gift.

   Ep. 394: The One Thing Worth Boasting About

   SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 394, “The One Thing Worth Boasting About,” Kim discusses what Jeremiah 9:23–24 teaches us about where we find our identity, confidence, and worth. While the world encourages us to take pride in our wisdom, power, accomplishments, and possessions, God points us toward something far greater—truly knowing Him. Through Paul’s words in 2 Corinthians 11–12, we also discover that even our weaknesses can become opportunities for God’s strength to be displayed. Join Kim as she explores why knowing God is ultimately the one thing worth boasting about. Our focal passage for this episode is Jeremiah 9:23-24. 23 This is what the Lord says:“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom,    or the powerful boast in their power,    or the rich boast in their riches. 24 But those who wish to boast    should boast in this alone:that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord    who demonstrates unfailing love    and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,and that I delight in these things.    I, the Lord, have spoken! WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: This week, choose one quality God delights in—unfailing love, justice, or righteousness—and intentionally look for one opportunity each day to reflect it in the way you treat someone else.

   Ep. 393: When Tears Aren't Enough

   SHOW NOTES In Podcast Episode 393, “When Tears Aren’t Enough,” Kim discusses the professional mourners of Jeremiah’s day and how God used the language of lament to warn Judah of the judgment that was coming. She explores the difference between simply grieving the consequences of sin and experiencing the kind of godly sorrow that leads to genuine repentance and a changed heart. Our focal passage for this episode is Jeremiah 9:17-22. 17 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:“Consider all this, and call for the mourners.    Send for the women who mourn at funerals. 18 Quick! Begin your weeping!    Let the tears flow from your eyes. 19 Hear the people of Jerusalem crying in despair,    ‘We are ruined! We are completely humiliated!We must leave our land,    because our homes have been torn down.’” 20 Listen, you women, to the words of the Lord;    open your ears to what he has to say.Teach your daughters to wail;    teach one another how to lament. 21 For death has crept in through our windows    and has entered our mansions.It has killed off the flower of our youth:    Children no longer play in the streets,    and young men no longer gather in the squares. 22 This is what the Lord says:“Bodies will be scattered across the fields like clumps of manure,    like bundles of grain after the harvest.    No one will be left to bury them.” WEEKLY ENGAGEMENT FEATURE: This week, identify one thing you've grown spiritually comfortable with that God may be asking you to take seriously again, and spend intentional time praying, “Lord, help my heart care about what matters to You.” Additional Resources and Scriptures: Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus X - https://x.com/eoinlovingjesus?s=21&t=YcRjZQUpvP7FrJmm7Pe1hg INSTAGRAM -  https://www.instagram.com/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/ “Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel: Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/@EncouragingOthersInLovingJesus I WANT TO BEGIN A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST.
