061 Terese Talk: Memorizing Scripture



Scripture. It’s God’s love letter to us. It’s how He speaks to us. It’s our guide for right living. It’s so much more! And we’re supposed to know it. Psalm 119:11 says, “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” When we know God’s Word, and can recall it at a moment, we are better prepared to live in a way that glorifies Him. In this episode, hear three tips to help you keep scripture at the tip of your tongue.

060 Terese Talk: What Is Love?



Love is in the air. You’ve probably seen in at every store you’ve been in over the past month. But God doesn’t look at love like we do. While it can be sweet, there is no chocolate, or flowers. God’s love is more about how we treat one another. Let’s dig into how we all should love one another, through one of the most famous verses in the Bible.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

059 Terese Talk: Fighting Words



We’re in a battle. Every single day. It’s not like any war you’ve seen in the movies. Because we can’t see the enemy. And the battle is for your soul. God has equipped us with everything we need to fight…and to win. Scripture tells us the Bible is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. That’s from Hebrews 4. Today, we’ll hear from a woman who has put that weapon to the test. It’s Ellie Holcomb. She’s a musician, and a mom of three kids: ages 9, 6 and 3. It’s a busy season.

057 Terese Talk: Just Right



You know the story of Goldilocks–a little girl who struggles to find comforts that are “just right.” When we look at the Earth around us, we can’t help but think of God’s hand making it, because everything is “just right” for sustaining life. It’s a journey through Genesis–to find your purpose.

056 Terese Talk: Bible Friends



What does it take to make a good friend? We all have different standards and expectations. So, who, from the Bible, do you think would make a great friend? We asked that question on our Family Life Facebook page and the answers were amazing! It got me to thinking about what makes a great friend—and how to be a good friend.

055 Terese Talk: Who Was At Creation



In the Beginning. When you think of Creation, who do you picture there? Probably God, the Father. And it’s true. He is the Creator. But He wasn’t the only one present. If we dig a little into scripture, we’ll discover the entire Trinity was present, as it always been, and always will be.
