Remembering

In today's episode, Jana and Reata reflect on their favorite tangible takeaways from the previous two series, "Change" and "Be Ready". During this discussion they mention verses and quotes that are meaningful in their everyday lives and help inspire spiritual growth. Reata also shares a personal experience with trusting in God and using "what was in her hand" to help friends in need with a seemingly impossible task in order to receive medical treatment.

Verses mentioned:

1 Chronicles 28:20 David also said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the Lord is finished.
1 Corinthians 13:4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
Exodus 4:2-4 Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?”
“A staff,” he replied. 3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 4 Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand.
