Burning Hearts with Rachel Herbeck

Part of willing the good of the other is building others up in love. Paul encourages us to express our commitment and love for Jesus through building up the body of Christ with Chairty.

Today we dive into the reality of what it means to will the good of your neighbor. We need the grace of Christ to show us what it truly means to love another for their good and we ask for the strength to do this.

As we continue in Romans 15, we talk about how we practical endure with each other, both with our weaknesses and our failures, but also with our burdens. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us endure with one another.

This week we dive into Romans 15, where we read specifically what it means to offer our lives as a sacrifice in the context of our Christian relationships. We begin by discussing what it means to bear one another’s weakness.

As we wrap up this week, we hear from Paul that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. This shows us that we belong to God and that we are empowered to live a life in Him and through Him.

Together we dive back into Ephesians 1:11-14 and focus on the two words “in Him”. Christ dwells in us, but our reality is that through His blood, we are in Him. Existing in Him, redeemed in Him, and alive in Him.

Today we wrap up our interview with Heather Khym and dive into the amazing reality that Christ dwells in us. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us believe and experience this reality.

As we continue our interview with Heather Khym, we discuss what God has given us through His grace and real live practical situations where we need to lean into God’s providence.

We end this week discussing the importance of living in the light. If we want to walk with god, we must be committed to continual repentance and reception of grace in relation to Jesus, who is the light and brings light into the darkness of our hearts.

Today we focus on the amazing reality revealed in this Word that the eternal life that was with the Father has now been given to us. Today we ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten our hearts with the spirit of revelation so that we may live in this truth.

The truth about God that John proclaims is given through his testimony – what we have seen, heard, touched. We are encouraged today to share what the Lord has done in our lives with those who don’t know Him.

This week we dive into 1 John 1 and immediately see John referring back to the beginning of the Gospel of John where he states that we “beheld his glory”. He makes clear that what he is communicating is not a story but the truth about God.

Peter takes his conviction even further, stating that those who do not bear these qualities in a godly life and ineffective and unfruitful. God is calling each and every one of us to live in his love and to be effective and fruitful for the Kingdom of God on earth.

Peter outlines a reality that a godly life isn’t just possessing faith – it is a faith that is supplemented with godliness, steadfastness, self control, knowledge, affection and love. And we have to choose these things every day!

In today’s episode, Peter encourages us to take what we have been given in Christ and to make every effort to put it into action in our lives. We focus on the reality that grace isn’t opposed to effort and God is calling us to put in effort in our spiritual lives.

God not only gives us power, He gives us promises about who we are, where we are going, and how much God loves us. Living in these promises changes us into new creations.

This week we dive into 2 Peter and hear about God’s divine power that lives in each and every one of us. This power changes and transforms us into children of God and we discuss how to live out this reality.

Finally, the Holy Spirit searches the mind of God and actually gives us the mind of Christ. Today we discuss how to live in this reality.

One of the realities of being a follower of Jesus is that the best is yet to come. Today we examine the beautiful truth of the amazing depths and heights of what God has prepared for us.

The Holy Spirit reveals to us the secret and hidden wisdom of God! Today we discuss what that secret and hidden wisdom is and how the Holy Spirit enlightens us.

As we continue in 1 Corinthians, we confront the weakness of our own hearts and how the Holy Spirit strengthen us.

This week we dive into 1 Corinthians and discuss what the Spirit of God does in our hearts. Specifically, today we discuss the reality that Jesus is the testimony of God.

On Good Friday, we reflect on the cross as God’s instrument for victory. This place of death becomes the place of triumph and glory, a symbol of hope and great love for each and every believer.

Before He went to the cross, Jesus confronts the weight of all evil in the world in the garden of gethsemane. There, Jesus accepts the cup of wrath the Father gives Him to drink, experiencing the weight of sin and death.

Through His passion, Jesus submits perfectly to the will of the Father. Through His obedience, he gains salvation for the world. He also gives us an example on how to obey God’s will.

In today’s readings, we see that for Jesus, the place of true glory is the place where he suffers. This suffering is honored and valued by the Father, showing us what is important in the Kingdom of God.

We begin this Holy Week by going through the daily readings. As we walk together, we ask the Lord to give us the special grace to journey with Him through this Holy Week in each step of His passion.

As we wrap up our week together, we hold onto the reality that in Christ, we have a destiny of supernatural love. Instead of eternal death, God has given us eternal life and a life of love in him.

Having wrapped up our conversation with Katie McGrady, we ask the Holy Spirit to speak to us about Ephesians 1. As we read, the Lord convicts us of how much blessing the Lord and giving him gratitude matters in our spiritual lives.

Today we wrap up our interview with Katie McGrady and we continue to go through the beginning of Ephesians 1. As we talk, the Holy Spirit leads us to a deeper reality that God is always thinking of us and has chosen us.

We continue our interview with Katie McGrady and we dive into Ephesians 1. In this conversation we focus on the reality of being adopted sons and daughters of God the Father, and what that means for us.

This week we begin a series of interviews with Katie McGrady recorded on the Good News Cruise. As we start our week, we hear about how the Lord transformed her own life and about her own approach to God’s Word.

Ultimately, we don’t walk in holiness on our own effort, but because of the blood of Christ. Today we reflect on the reality that Christ has ransomed us from a futile life.

As we walk on our spiritual journeys, we need more of the fear of the Lord so that we can see God and ourselves rightly and walk in righteousness.

Today we are encouraged to be holy as our heavenly Father is holy. This requires recognizing the holiness of God and the reality that we belong to a Holy God.

Continuing in 1 Peter, we are encouraged to walk in obedience considering our calling to set our eyes on Christ. This helps us during lent to walk in childlike obedience.

This week we dive into 1 Peter 1 and we see Peter communicating what the true end and goal of the Christian life is; the revelation of the Jesus who will come again in glory.

Finally, Jesus’ call to follow him asks for and requires total surrender. That total surrender asks for full gift of self, but in response, Jesus gives us His entire self as a gift.

One of Jesus’ most essential teachings on discipleship is following him to the cross. As we walk with him, we need to grow in our love for the wounded, crucified Christ.

A confusing yet powerful teaching of Jesus is the call to hate your life in this world. Today we discuss truly what it means to be detached from our lives here in a healthy way.

As we continue through Jesus’ teaching about following him, we see that true discipleship first helps us confront in us what is disordered and through encounter with Jesus, He reorders our loves.

This week we dive into Luke 14 and hear Jesus’ convicting words regarding His vision of discipleship. We ask the Holy Spirit to help us respond to Jesus’ words even when they are challenging.

In Galatians, St. Paul makes a distinction between the flesh and the Spirit. What are three desires of the flesh particularly prevalent in today’s society?

What does it mean to live by the Spirit and to walk by the Spirit? What differences can we expect in our lives when we do?

Wrapping up the first week of Lent, we read the prophet Isaiah chastising Israel for their heart posture as they fast. The Holy Spirit convicts us today to be truly concerned with the pursuits of God and not just what we desire.
