Send us Fan MailWelcome back to Tangible Talks podcast! We’re diving into Episode 2 of our Fellowship Series, and this time, we’re talking about something foundational, powerful, and beautifully designed — Fellowship in Marriage.From the very beginning, marriage was part of God's plan. Genesis 2:24 paints the picture, and Jesus reinforces it in Matthew 19: “The two will become one flesh.” Marriage is more than a social contract — it's a divine union, an expression of deep fellowship and intimacy created by God Himself.But as we all know, humans have a way of twisting what was meant to be a blessing. Still, the sacred design of marriage stands strong, echoing the profound relationship between Christ and the Church — His bride.Join us today, as we explore how marriage mirrors our fellowship with God, what it means for us today, and how we can walk in the fullness of the blessing of marriage.Scripture Referenced: Proverbs 12:4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones, 1 Peter 3:7  Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus. Show Music: "Brand New Day" by ReveilleShow Credits: Creative Producers & Hosts - Jana Hunt, Reata StricklandEditor - Jana Hunt Sound Design & Graphic Artist - Reata Strickland Website: https://www.tangibletalks.org/Instagram: @tangibletalksFacebook: tangibletalksContact: [email protected]#tangibletalks #tangibletakeaways

Today, we're hitting pause to reflect on the first quarter of 2025, sharing the highlights and our favorite takeaways from January to now. This episode is all about looking back, revisiting powerful moments, and connecting with the insights that have impacted us the most.Join us as we revisit two of our series from this quarter. First, we dive into the Rest Series, specifically “Tracing Rest,” where we explore the profound meaning of stopping, resting, and embracing the Sabbath as an invitation from God to cease from our labor and join Him in rest. It’s a practice that points to something far greater than just physical relaxation—it’s about reconnecting with God’s design for us.Additionally, we discuss our favorite takeaways from the Attitude Series, and the lessons we've been applying in our daily lives since. These takeaways include: "choose your hard", "our temporary home" and "feelings are not fact". CS Lewis Quotes: “Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why thelittle decisions you and I make every day are of such infiniteimportance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategicpoint from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on tovictories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence inlust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgeheadfrom which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.”C.S.

Send us Fan MailOn today's episode of the Tangible Talks podcast, we continue our conversation on complaining in our "Attitudes" series. During the discourse we explore three sources or root causes that can frequently lead to complaining, such as lack of rest, hunger, and grief. During the episode, Reata leads us in a study of two biblical examples that illuminate this topic. The first with Elijah in the old testament and the second with the disciples exhausted from grief in the New Testament. Join us today as we unpack the root causes of complaining and seek tangible mitigations for this toxic behavior. Scripture Referenced: 1 Kings Chapters 18 & 191 Kings 19:6-9 All at once an angel touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again.7 The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. 9 There he went into a cave and spent the night.Luke Chapter 22 45 When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus. Show Music: "Brand New Day" by ReveilleShow Credits: Creative Producers & Hosts - Jana Hunt, Reata StricklandEditor - Jana Hunt Sound Design & Graphic Artist - Reata Strickland Website: https://www.tangibletalks.org/Instagram: @tangibletalksFacebook: tangibletalksContact: [email protected]#tangibletalks #tangibletakeaways 

Send us Fan MailOn today's episode, we continue our "Attitude Series" by addressing the topic of complaining. Ever heard the phrase, "complain and remain"? Well, it's true! Complaining can trap us in the very situation we're grumbling about and stop us from moving forward and thus reaching our full potential.In this episode, we take a look at the Israelites in the wilderness, who complained about everything from their food to their circumstances, and even God! Their attitude of complaining led to fault-finding, ingratitude, and irresponsibility, ultimately keeping them from reaching the promised land.Join us today as we discuss the negative implications of complaining in our lives and study biblical examples to learn how God responds to complaining; ultimately seeking tangible takeaways to combat this destructive habit.  Scripture Referenced: Numbers 11: 1 -2Jeremiah 12: 1-4Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus. Show Music: "Brand New Day" by ReveilleShow Credits: Creative Producers & Hosts - Jana Hunt, Reata StricklandEditor - Jana Hunt Sound Design & Graphic Artist - Reata Strickland Website: https://www.tangibletalks.org/Instagram: @tangibletalksFacebook: tangibletalksContact: [email protected]#tangibletalks #tangibletakeaways 

Send us Fan MailIn today’s episode, we kick off a brand new series on “Attitudes” with a deep dive into negative mindsets and the impact of contentment vs. discontentment. We all have moments where our attitudes slip, but it’s often easier to spot in others than in ourselves. Reflecting on personal experiences and biblical wisdom, we discuss how discontentment yields a negative mindset often followed by complaining and murmuring. Furthermore, we inquire how a negative mindset keeps you stagnant and prevents you from receiving God's full abundance. We’ll discuss how attitudes, both positive and negative, shape our lives, and how the Bible encourages us to renew our minds and embrace a Christ-like mindset. From the wilderness journey of the Israelites to practical tips for overcoming negativity/discontentment with gratitude, this episode is packed with insight and encouragement.  Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus. Show Music: "Brand New Day" by ReveilleShow Credits: Creative Producers & Hosts - Jana Hunt, Reata StricklandEditor - Jana Hunt Sound Design & Graphic Artist - Reata Strickland Website: https://www.tangibletalks.org/Instagram: @tangibletalksFacebook: tangibletalksContact: [email protected]#tangibletalks #tangibletakeaways 

Send us Fan MailOn today’s episode, we wrap up our Rest series with a deep dive into "Rest in Hebrews"! In this episode, we explore the powerful concept of rest as presented in the book of Hebrews, and how it connects to our faith journey today.We unpack the story of the Israelites and why they failed to enter God's promised rest in the wilderness, and how their unbelief and disobedience prevented them from experiencing the blessings of rest. But there’s good news! Hebrews encourages believers to enter God’s rest—not through striving, but through faith. This rest isn’t about earning salvation, but about walking in faith and experiencing God’s peace in our lives now, as a preview of the ultimate Sabbath rest to come.We also talk about the spiritual nature of rest: it’s not just about physical relaxation, but about ceasing from our own work and trusting in the completed work of Jesus. We’ll explore how spiritual rest is essential for our well-being, how it helps us let go of fear, anxiety, and the need to prove ourselves, and why the rest found in Christ is a blessing.Join us as we unpack these themes from Hebrews, reflect on the significance of the seventh day rest from Genesis, and look forward to the final rest promised to believers in Revelation. Verses Mentioned:Hebrews Chapter 3 & Hebrews Chapter 4 Revelation 14:13 13 Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: ‘Blessed are the dead, those who die in the Lord from this moment on!’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “so they can rest from their hard work, because their deeds will follow them.”  Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus. Show Music: "Brand New Day" by ReveilleShow Credits: Creative Producers & Hosts - Jana Hunt, Reata StricklandEditor - Jana Hunt Sound Design & Graphic Artist - Reata Strickland Website: https://www.tangibletalks.org/Instagram: @tangibletalksFacebook: tangibletalksContact: [email protected]#tangibletalks #tangibletakeaways 

Send us Fan MailIn today's episode, we explore "The Rest of the Story" as we dive into Jesus’ teachings on the Sabbath by reading four examples found in the Gospels. We examine the clash between Jesus and the religious leaders over Sabbath observance, highlighting how Jesus viewed rest not as a burden, but as a gift from God. Through His actions, like healing on the Sabbath, Jesus redefined true Sabbath rest, emphasizing worship, community, and focus on what truly matters. Additionally, we discuss how Jesus did good despite the Pharisees motives to set him up and condemn him, and converse about Jesus being the Lord of the Sabbath. This leads into further discussion about Jesus showing us that he ruled over the Sabbath instead of letting the man-made laws and traditions rule over him.  Join us as we reflect on the deeper meaning of rest and its relevance in our lives today. Scripture Mentioned: Matthew 12:9-14 The Man with The Withered HandMatthew Chapter 9: Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed ManLuke 13:11-13 And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Tangible Talks Podcast! In today’s episode, we continue our series on "Rest" with a deep dive into the New Testament. Our title for this episode is "The Rest of the Story", and we're exploring how Jesus viewed the Sabbath and the concept of rest.Throughout the Old Testament, we see the Israelites trying (but often failing) to "honor" the Sabbath. While the Sabbath was meant to be a sacred day of rest, by the time Jesus arrives, the religious leaders had turned it into a list of restrictive rules. This led to some major clashes between Jesus and the Pharisees, who accused Him of breaking Sabbath laws.But Jesus brought a fresh perspective on the true meaning of Sabbath rest. He didn’t see rest as just avoiding work but as a time to focus on what really matters—like healing, community, and worship. In this episode, we’ll look at several times Jesus healed on the Sabbath—encounters that outraged the religious leaders but revealed deeper truths about rest. We'll discuss why Jesus’ actions weren’t violations but were, in fact, demonstrations of the rest God intended for us.We’ll also dig into key scriptures like Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites us to find true rest in Him, and reflect on how this rest is a gift—a break from our busy lives, and a chance to refocus on God, not work or worldly pursuits.Tune in as we unpack the Rest of the Story and discover how the Sabbath is more than just a day off—it’s an invitation to embrace God’s peace and purpose!Tangible Talks podcast conducts conversations about applying the teachings of God in everyday situations that reveal Jesus. Show Music: "Brand New Day" by ReveilleShow Credits: Creative Producers & Hosts - Jana Hunt, Reata StricklandEditor - Jana Hunt Sound Design & Graphic Artist - Reata Strickland Website: https://www.tangibletalks.org/Instagram: @tangibletalksFacebook: tangibletalksContact: [email protected]#tangibletalks #tangibletakeaways
