What does it look like to trust God when you can’t see the outcome?In this episode, Bernie and Pastor Dee walk through Ecclesiastes 11:1–6, a passage that calls us to live with open hands—sowing, giving, and trusting God beyond what we understand.Using the simple but powerful image of breadmaking, Pastor Dee reflects on what it means to release what we’ve prepared and trust the unseen work of God.

Send a prayer. Gospel Community explores Paul’s vision of a people shaped not by preference or proximity, but by the grace of Jesus Christ. This week’s reflections invite us to see the church as a shared life—formed by the gospel, sustained by love, and sent together for God’s glory.In "Three-in-One in the Middle of the Mess," 1 Corinthians—a letter is written to a divided, conflicted church, yet it still bears clear traces of the Trinity. Through key passages on spiritual gifts, holiness, embodied life, and love, this episode highlights how Paul speaks of the same God at work as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: the Father who calls and sends, the Son who redeems and forms one body, and the Spirit who indwells, reveals Christ, and empowers unity. Rather than abstract doctrine, the Trinity becomes lived theology—an invitation to participate in God’s shared life right in the middle of the mess. Continue the Conversation We encourage you to keep this conversation going with God—through prayer, reflection, and time in His Word. Consider reading and meditating on these passages as you listen (or after you finish), asking the Father to draw you deeper into life in the Son through the Holy Spirit:·         1 Corinthians 1:4–9 — Grace in Christ; called into fellowship with the Son.·         1 Corinthians 2:10–16 — The Spirit searches God’s depths and reveals God’s wisdom (the mind of Christ).·         1 Corinthians 3:16–17 — The church as God’s temple, indwelt by the Spirit.·         1 Corinthians 6:11 — Saved and made holy: in Jesus’ name and by the Spirit of our God.·         1 Corinthians 6:19–20 — Your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit; glorify God with your life.·         1 Corinthians 8:6 — One God, the Father… and one Lord, Jesus Christ… (a key Trinitarian pattern).·         1 Corinthians 12:4–6 — Same Spirit, same Lord, same God: unity and diversity in the church.·         1 Corinthians 12:12–13 — One body in Christ; baptized by one Spirit into unity.·         1 Corinthians 13 — Love as the “more excellent way” that shapes every gift and every relationship.·         2 Corinthians 13:14 — A classic Trinitarian blessing: Christ, God, and the Spirit together.·         Ephesians 4:4–6 — One Spirit, one Lord, one God and Father: unity rooted in God’s oneness.·         Matthew 28:19 — Baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.Source for this podcast: Gorman, M.

Send a prayer. Jesus didn’t only rise from the grave—He ascended and took His rightful place as King. In this episode of From the Well to the World (series: The Risen King Reigns), Pastor Dee and Bernie explore the power and purpose of the Ascension. Drawing from Acts 1, Psalm 110, and key New Testament promises, they unpack why the Ascension matters: Jesus has all authority right now, the powers of darkness have been disarmed, and our King is not distant—He intercedes for us from the throne. You’ll also hear practical encouragement for everyday life: how Christ’s enthronement frees us from living defeated, from carrying the burden of control, and from striving in our own strength—and how the Holy Spirit empowers us to walk with the reigning King. Close with a heartfelt invitation to surrender afresh to Jesus, our risen and enthroned Lord.  Scripture UsedActs 1:9–11 — Jesus is lifted up and taken by a cloud (the Ascension).Psalm 110:1 — “Sit at my right hand…until I make your enemies your footstool.”Matthew 28:18 — Jesus has “all authority…in heaven and on earth.”Colossians 2:15 — The powers of darkness are disarmed through Christ’s victory.Ephesians 2:6 — We are raised up and “seated…with him” in the heavenly places.John 16:7 — It is better that Jesus go away so the Helper (the Holy Spirit) comes.ResourcesEvans, Anthony T.

Send a prayer. In this reflective episode of From the Well to the World, Pastor Dee and Bernie linger in the “in-between” days of Acts 1:14—after Jesus’ ascension and before Pentecost. Through the themes of waiting, whispers, and the wind to come, they invite you to see how prayer, unity, and remembering Jesus can shape you in seasons when God has promised—yet hasn’t revealed the timing. If you’re waiting for clarity, healing, or direction, this gentle meditation offers hope for the pause and courage to trust what God is forming before the outpouring. Scripture ReferencesActs 1:9–14 Acts 1:11–14 Acts 2:1–4 Psalm 25:3 Luke 24:44–49 John 15:15 John 16:7 Joel 2:28–29These passages anchor the waiting between Ascension and Pentecost, remembrance of Jesus, prayer, and the promise of the Spirit.Resources Bruce, Alexander Balmain.

Send a prayer. On this sacred Good Friday episode, we begin by reading John 18 and 19, allowing the story of Jesus’ suffering, trial, and crucifixion to wash over us once again. We do not rush past the cross. We linger there.Jesus on the cross still reaches us—reaches our sinful, broken, weary hearts. In His silence before accusers, His wounds beneath the weight of love, and His final breath given freely, we see the depth of God’s mercy and the cost of our redemption.This is not a story to observe from a distance. This is an invitation. Join us at the foot of the cross, where sorrow and hope meet, where guilt is laid down, where forgiveness is poured out, and where love holds nothing back. Here, beneath the sign that reads “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews,” we remember that He chose the cross for us.This Good Friday reflection is a space to listen, grieve, repent, and worship. A space to sit quietly in the shadow of the cross and allow Jesus to truly reach your heart once again.Come and remember. Come and be still. Come and stand at the foot of the cross.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Join Pastor Dee and Bernie as we journey from the well… to the cross. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer. Holy Wednesday holds two stories side by side: extravagant worship and quiet betrayal. In this episode of From the Well to the World, Pastor Dee and Bernie walk through Matthew 26:1–16, where an unnamed woman pours out costly perfume on Jesus while Judas slips into the shadows to sell Him for thirty pieces of silver. Together we’ll ask the heart‑searching question this day confronts us with: Am I offering Jesus my best—or trading Him for something less? Listen in, and invite the Lord to form in you a devotion that is unashamed, wholehearted, and true. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer. On Holy Tuesday, Jesus moves from intense public confrontation to quiet, intimate formation—teaching His disciples (and us) how to endure when the world feels unstable.

Listen, reflect, and ask the Lord to strengthen your faithfulness for the journey ahead.Hookhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer. Holy Week continues with Holy Monday—a day that calls us to renewed reverence, repentance, and wholehearted worship. In Matthew 21:12–22, Jesus enters the temple and clears what does not belong, reminding us that God desires His house to be a place of prayer. We also encounter the fig tree, a sobering picture of outward appearance without spiritual fruit, as Jesus teaches His disciples about faith-filled prayer that trusts God completely.  To keep walking through Holy Week with daily Scriptures and reflections, read the Prayer Path blog: https://deeanntackitt.cw.center/https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

In this episode, we walk through Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the meaning behind the crowds crying “Hosanna.” As we trace Scripture from Matthew 21:1–11 and Zechariah 9:9, we’re invited to receive Jesus not only as the promised King, but as the humble Savior who brings peace through surrender.  For daily Holy Week reflections and worship resources, read the Prayer Path blog: https://deeanntackitt.cw.center/ https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

In Episode 4 of Garden Theology: From Eden to the Empty Tomb, Pastor Dee and Bernie arrive at the garden tomb—where the curse that began in Eden is reversed and the firstfruits of new creation break into history. Centering on John’s striking detail that Jesus was buried and raised in a garden, they explore the resurrection as God’s decisive “yes” to life: death defeated, shame undone, exile ended, and communion restored. Along the way, they linger with Mary Magdalene in the dawn light—grief giving way to recognition as the risen Christ speaks her name—and consider what it means that Jesus is mistaken for the gardener: the True Gardener returning to tend a renewed world. If you’re carrying sorrow, wrestling with doubt, or longing for hope that holds, this episode invites you to stand in the garden and hear the resurrection promise: new creation has begun—in Christ, and in you.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer. In Episode 3 of Garden Theology: From Eden to the Empty Tomb, Pastor Dee and Bernie enter Gethsemane—the garden where Jesus wrestled in prayer and chose surrender. Beneath the olive trees, the Second Adam faces the cup of suffering and answers with holy obedience: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Together, they reflect on the anguish, the watching and waiting, and the quiet strength of Christ’s yes—a victory won before the nails, where redemption’s path is embraced in tears. This episode invites you to bring your own fears and questions into the presence of God, and to discover that surrender is not defeat, but the doorway to resurrection life.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer. The Temple: Eden Restored in Jerusalem In Episode 2 of Garden Theology: From Eden to the Empty Tomb, Pastor Dee and Bernie step into Jerusalem’s Temple and discover it as far more than Israel’s national shrine—it is Eden remembered and symbolically restored. From carved cherubim and palm trees to the guarded holiness of the inner sanctuary, the Temple replays the garden story: God dwelling with His people, sacred space protected, and access mediated through sacrifice. Together, they trace the deep biblical echoes between Eden’s commission to “work and keep” and the priests’ calling to “serve and guard,” showing how the Temple points beyond itself to Christ—the true Temple—who reopens the way into God’s presence. This episode invites you to see worship not as routine, but as God’s relentless pursuit to bring His people back into communion with Him.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer.  In the first episode of Garden Theology: From Eden to the Empty Tomb, Pastor Dee and Bernie return to the place where the human story begins—the Garden of Eden. More than ancient scenery, Eden is revealed as God’s first sanctuary: a holy meeting place where His presence, purpose, and blessing flowed freely. Together, they explore Eden as a pattern for worship, a vision for meaningful work as stewardship, and the theological blueprint that echoes through Scripture—from tabernacle and temple to the resurrection garden and the promise of new creation. https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer.  What makes someone part of God’s family? In this episode of From the Well to the World, Pastor Dee and Bernie unpack Jesus’s surprising words in Matthew 12:48–50 and Luke 11:27–28, showing how belonging in the kingdom isn’t defined by bloodlines, status, or tradition—but by hearing God’s Word and living it. Along the way, they explore the cost and promise of discipleship (Mark 10:29–30), the equal footing of believers as brothers and sisters (Matthew 23:8), and what spiritual family can mean for anyone carrying the ache of strained relationships or loneliness. Expect Scripture, encouragement, and a fresh invitation to step into a bigger, grace-formed family.Jesus doesn’t shrink the idea of family—He expands it, inviting you into a grace-built belonging.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

In Episode 4 of From Cain to Christ: Sibling Stories, we step onto the shores of Galilee with two sets of brothers—Peter & Andrew and James & John—and watch what happens when Jesus interrupts an ordinary workday with an extraordinary call. As nets are dropped and boats are left behind, we explore what immediate obedience looks like, how sibling relationships can strengthen our response to God, and how Jesus redirects ordinary lives (and even thunderous personalities) into kingdom purpose. Scripture: Matthew 4:18–22; Mark 3:16–17.Jesus calls ordinary people in ordinary moments. Sibling strength: Peter & Andrew and James & John following together, encouraging one another, and answering the call.

In Episode 3 of From the Well to the World, Pastor Dee and Bernie walk through the powerful (and painfully relatable) story of Miriam, Aaron, and Moses. From a sister’s courage by the Nile, to a brother’s struggle with people-pleasing, to a leader who doesn’t feel qualified, we trace how God weaves imperfect siblings into His plan of deliverance. Along the way, you’ll hear a quick, engaging summary for anyone new to this part of Scripture, the key biblical principles behind the story, and practical ways to apply humility, obedience, and faith in your own family and everyday life.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer. In Episode 1 of From Cain to Christ: Sibling Stories, Bernie and Pastor Dee step into the first and most sobering sibling conflict in the Bible: Cain and Abel. Two brothers come to worship. Two offerings are brought. But only one is received—and what happens next exposes how quickly disappointment can turn into jealousy, and jealousy can turn into destruction when a heart refuses God’s correction.This conversation goes beyond “what they brought” and gets into how they brought it, because the real issue isn’t agriculture versus livestock—it’s faith-filled worship versus religious motion without surrender. Along the way, we’ll sit with God’s mercy that shows up before the worst decision is ever made, and we’ll unpack that vivid warning: “Sin is crouching at the door… but you must master it.”If you’ve ever felt overlooked, compared yourself to someone else, or struggled with anger that keeps knocking—this episode will help you hear God’s invitation to “do well,” choose humility, and walk in the freedom that comes through repentance.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

What begins as a decree of death becomes a story overflowing with courage, divine timing, and supernatural deliverance.Together, they explore how God exposes the enemy’s plans, elevates the humble, and turns mourning into joy. From Haman’s downfall to Mordecai’s rise, from fear to celebration, this episode reminds listeners that God is always working behind the scenes—even when His name is not spoken.Join us as we unpack the tension, the triumph, and the legacy of Esther’s obedience… and discover how God can bring a holy reversal to your story too.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Send a prayer. There are moments in Scripture where God never speaks aloud—yet His providence resounds in every detail. In Episode 2 of From the Well to the World, we step into Esther 5–6, the quiet hinge where history turns.A queen enters the throne room uninvited. A king lies awake through the night. A proud man builds a gallows—and unknowingly prepares his own fall.This episode explores the sacred intersection of fasting and courage, patience and action, humility and honor. As Esther waits for God’s timing, unseen forces begin to align: forgotten faithfulness is remembered, pride is exposed, and reversal is set in motion—not through spectacle, but through precision.Pastor Dee traces how God works through ordinary details and delayed moments, teaching us how to move wisely when the stakes are high.

Send a prayer. In this episode of From the Well to the World, Pastor Dee and Bernie open the Book of Esther and explore the first four chapters—where the name of God is never mentioned, yet His presence is unmistakable. These pages reveal a powerful theological truth: God’s sovereign rule is at work even when He seems silent, hidden, or unacknowledged.Through the contrasting choices of Vashti, Esther, and Mordecai, we see how human decisions matter deeply—yet they unfold within the loving direction of a God who guides history. What appear to be small or accidental events begin to align with divine purpose, reminding us that there are no coincidences in the kingdom of God.Pastor Dee and Bernie walk listeners through the themes of feasting, fasting, and the great reversals that shape the narrative. What begins as royal banquets eventually leads to the desperate fast of Mordecai and the Jews—an echo of how God often moves most powerfully in moments of surrender. These early chapters prepare the way for Purim, the celebration of God’s deliverance through what appeared to be chance but was truly His unseen hand.At the heart of this episode is Mordecai’s challenge to Esther: that her royal position was not an accident but a divine assignment. Her story invites each of us to recognize that where God has placed us is purposeful, and that the influence we carry is meant to serve His people and His glory.Join Pastor Dee and Bernie as they draw out encouragement, insight, and practical application from Esther’s courage and God’s quiet orchestration in the background of every moment.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Jonah ran from God, hid in the depths, resisted grace, and struggled to accept that God’s compassion extends even to people he didn’t understand. Yet in Jonah’s rebellion, storm, and three days in the belly of the fish, we discover a truth that points beyond the prophet to Someone greater.Through vivid storytelling and biblical insight, this episode reveals how Jonah’s journey foreshadows Jesus—the true and better Jonah who didn’t flee from sinners but ran toward us, entered the depths for our salvation, and rose again to bring new life.Whether you’ve ever tried to hide from God, felt lost in a dark place, or struggled to show grace to others, Jonah’s story—and Jesus’ fulfillment of it—offers hope, conviction, and a reminder that God’s mercy is wider than we imagine.Join us for Jesus and Jonah, and discover the grace that finds runners, rescues wanderers, and transforms hearts.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

Together, we uncover the rhythm of a healthy spiritual life:  Hidden practices that protect humility and intimacy with the Father Public witness that points others to Jesus with love and courageWe’ll look at Matthew 6 and Matthew 10 to understand the difference between private devotion and public proclamation, then explore how God sometimes hides truth for a season—not to keep us away, but to draw us closer.With practical steps, heartfelt reflection, and simple questions to help discern motive and timing, this episode invites you into a life that is quiet before God and radiant before the world.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509

When Jonah runs from God’s calling, Scripture shows a dramatic downward spiral—from the port of Joppa to the belly of a great fish.

Listeners will discover how self‑righteousness and “sanctified excuses” quietly pull us away from God, and how His mercy shows up through storms, surprises, and even impossible circumstances.

In this second installment of our MythBusters Series, Pastor Dee and Bernie confront one of the most persistent and paralyzing myths in the Christian walk: the belief that certain sins are simply too big, too ugly, or too repeated for God to forgive.Many believers quietly carry the weight of past decisions, wondering whether they’ve crossed a line God won’t restore. But Scripture paints a radically different picture of grace — a forgiveness that is full, complete, and rooted in the finished work of Christ.In this episode, we explore difficult passages like the “unforgivable sin,” the warnings in Hebrews, and the distinction between failure and rejection. We address common misconceptions with biblical clarity and offer hope to anyone who fears they’ve exhausted God’s patience.If you’ve ever wondered whether your sin is beyond the reach of God’s mercy, this conversation will reassure your heart and draw you back to the well of living water that never runs dry.Join us as we replace myth with truth and let grace have the final word.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2532509
