Have you ever done anything crazy, silly, dangerous, or stupid in order to fit in?
Today we are diving right into Galatians 1:10, and we can be encouraged by Paul’s example of not seeking the approval of man, but the approval of God. This single verse brings a valuable lesson for us and it’s one you do NOT want to miss!
We all want to fit in, not only in our personal lives, but we can feel the pressure in the church as well.
Today’s million dollar question of how to live free from people pleasing is discussed on the podcast this week. (And the answer is quite “simple”.)
So tune in today and listen to Paul’s story and how we can operate outside the box to seek God's approval and not man’s.

Breaking the Enemy's Scripts to Embrace Your God-Given Purposes
19 juin 2023
00:42:46
In this episode, Jen and AJ highlight an excellent conversation they had with Sojo Academy members. This week, they had so much encouragement from the members about the false narrative that the enemy tries to give us the truth of the gospel that we must all cling to. And how that allows us to be beautiful before the Father, because of the beauty of Christ.
Our June Bible study aimed to look at how people from the Bible recognized and fulfilled their God-given purposes, so we can better understand our purpose, and calling. Even if that purpose is found in mundane days and a seemingly endless to-do list of small tasks. Really to help our audience to gain clarity and uncover their unique purposes aligned with God's plan.
If you're not in the Academy, take this opportunity to hear from these women and their takeaways from this month's study that covers finding their God-given purposes.

Don't chicken out on your calling
12 juin 2023
00:25:58
Sometimes when you have a lot of responsibility, when you feel the weight of said responsibility, sometimes it's just easier to not lean into that responsibility, yes? We shy away from it or even ignore it. The question then becomes, will we continue to walk down in disobedience? Or do we step up?
Today's episode talks about confidence. About a man named Saul who lacked confidence and was disobedient and really failed in his calling, and how we, as we're discovering our God-given purpose, can succeed in ours. (and we use the word succeed loosely because it's not us. It's all God.)
Enjoy the story of Saul and learn how to stand firm in your calling and not chicken out.

Takeaways from Nehemiah: Insights from Sojo Academy members
05 juin 2023
00:40:06
In today’s episode, Jen and AJ are pulling the curtains back on Sojo Academy and doing something a little different! If you are not familiar, inside the Academy, we meet every week on Zoom. One of our calls is called “Coffee chat”, where we and other members share our takeaways on the Bible study that we're going through that month!
We wanted to share the Coffee Chat from the Nehemiah study with you because there were so many important points that were brought out that the Holy Spirit really just pinpointed in the lives of our Sojo members. And we were able to see how they directly apply to us today.
If you're not in the Academy, take this opportunity to hear from these women and reflect on what God has to tell you through this beautiful book.
Prayer isn't just about making the request or seeing if God's gonna answer. It's about confidence, assurance, boldness, and power.

From broken to whole: the life-changing influence of the Word of God
29 mai 2023
00:21:13
In today’s episode, Jen and AJ are looking at Nehemiah's chapter 8. At this point, the wall was rebuilt, but they were not ready to end the togetherness that they had and the centrality of God that they had experienced through the building of the wall.
“All the people gathered as one man, so their hearts were completely united around. The desire to hear the word of God.”
No matter where you are in your life, if you're aware, if you're convicted, if you feel that to any degree, that's a grace from God.
God wants YOUR heart as well.
Give this episode a listen if you need an encouraging reminder that God can build that desire in your heart.

Deadly distractions and learning to say no
22 mai 2023
00:27:15
in today’s episode, Jen and AJ are looking at Nehemiah's chapter 6 and talking about the different types of distractions that Nehemiah faced and how this relates to our lives today.
Do you have a problem setting boundaries? With saying “No”? Nehemiah is an example of saying no to quite a few different things. He had the discernment to understand why he needed to say no, and why it was actually imperative for him to say no.
And that’s what we are talking about today! We can see from the life of Nehemiah, a great example of somebody who was a leader, yet lived in constant dependence on God. Let's use today’s episode to remember our mission, and remember the reason that we MUST sometimes say no.
Our mission is to build the kingdom of God and to glorify him so that he can draw others unto himself.

Two types of opposition we face and how to overcome them
15 mai 2023
00:38:38
In today’s episode, Jen and AJ are discussing Nehemiah chapters 4 and 5, and looking at two different ways we encounter opposition + how to overcome them!
We discuss what that means for us as believers in Christ and what takeaways we can bring to our everyday lives.
AJ also shared that the body of Christ is only as strong as the weakest link. The Christian life isn't a solo sport. Recognizing how we ourselves may need to strengthen our walk is really important. We can't fix the wall in our lives, culture, or generation unless we know what the breaches are.
If you want to dive deep into what the two oppositions we face as Christians are AND ways to overcome them and strengthen your faith, this episode is for you!

Ordinary people, Extraordinary mission: Lessons from Nehemiah 3
08 mai 2023
00:32:14
This month, we are talking about the fascinating book of Nehemiah and today especially Nehemiah chapter 3.
This chapter is pretty much a list of all of these different people with different roles and different socioeconomic statuses. They have different jobs, different titles, and yet they're all working together for one common mission.
We see this beautiful picture of our differences not mattering when we have the commonality of a goal in mind.
We see this in the New Testament as well in the body of Christ. We're different members, but we're all part of the same body, and that means that no one of us is any better than anybody else.
This is a good example of how the entire word of God is important for our lives because even a chapter like Nehemiah 3 with just a list of names can speak to us in such a powerful way if we allow the Holy Spirit to do that.

Rebuilding Broken Walls: Lessons from the Story of Nehemiah
01 mai 2023
00:34:47
In this episode, Jen and AJ will talk about Nehemiah: the background, the historical context of this book, and some of their biggest takeaways from Nehemiah 1 and 4.
We see how God used one man's burden to fulfill this incredible rebuilding and restoration.
Nehemiah goes to God in prayer and he worships God. And that is a great foundation for us when we are in those times of waiting and when we are painfully crying out to God.
What we do in these moments is so telling for our hearts, isn't it? It just reveals the state of our hearts. Are we gonna worship him? Are we going to keep believing Him in those moments of painful waiting?
Nehemiah went to God in prayer. He turned to God in his pain.
And If you're listening to this podcast, that means you are in the top percentage of people in this world. You have been given things. You have the ability, you have the technology to listen. You have either a computer or a phone.
Are we allowing ourselves to just sit in that ease? Or are we using our influence to better the kingdom of God?

Since we started this podcast, our community has grown so much that we decided to do a fun and encouraging BONUS episode to answer some of the questions we get!
We really hope that by the end of this episode, you know a little bit about us, but also learn a bit about some of what we do + tons of pieces of advice along the way!

The best experience is being rescued from our sins. And from God's wrath. But knowing who He is and knowing who you are in Christ as a believer, does more for your confidence and your identity than anything else. And that comes from the Word of God.” - AJ

Learning from the Rechabites how to live set apart
24 avr. 2023
00:27:17
This week, Jen and AJ introduce us to the story of the week: the Rechabites - from Jeremiah 35 and how it compares to Romans 8:12-13!
The Rechabites were nomads, always wandering from place to place. In Jeremiah 35, they were tested by God through Jeremiah when he offered them wine.
Rechabites are an example to us. They said no to cultural norms. They had to give up land ownership and certain other things in order to obey the commands of their forefathers. And that's what it is for us as life of a believer too. We have to say, yes, I'm going to follow Christ. When we are trusting in Christ, we are living in the spirit, and yet we are given commands, we are given things to do that can only be done by Christ living in us.
As believers, we have something so much more powerful than rules and the law. The law points out what's right and wrong, but what it is not able to do is empower us to live accordingly.
We have something so much more powerful than just the law because we have the spirit of God, which indwells us. He is giving life to our mortal bodies.
This is a story about obedience and faithfulness. Listen to today’s episode and fill your heart with reminders of the goodness of following God’s Word. We hope you see the Rechabites as an example to us believers.

Recreated, reclaimed, and brought back to life: Ezekiel and the dry bones
17 avr. 2023
00:28:48
In this episode, join Jen and AJ as they look at Ezekiel 37, and compare it to Romans 8, showing how even when you are in the middle of your despair when there seems to be no life left, the Spirit of God will breathe new life into your circumstances.
This is one of the times when the Old Testament clearly points to the truth of new life and resurrection.
When we are dead, we are dried, we're absolutely helpless and hopeless apart from Jesus Christ, He breathes his new life into us and we are actually dwelt by the very spirit of God.
Tune in today and dive into Ezekiel’s third vision where God showed him in the middle of a valley full of bones a picture of what God does for us spiritually.
When you are in a place where you just can't see past your own dryness, failure, or despair, you can trust your Creator and your Recreator. Remember that God has reclaimed you.

The bronze serpent and the cross
10 avr. 2023
00:30:56
This month we are starting a new series: Romans 8 Revealed in the Old Testament! And today we are talking about snakes! Snakes in Scripture are not portrayed as the best of creatures. So when we look at the whole fact that God chose a serpent in the story we are discussing today is significant.
So tune in and let’s dive into Numbers 21:4-9 and be reminded of the promises from Romans 8 and that God has always provided a way for us to be saved from the condemnation of sin. We just need to believe and cling to Him.
Do you think that your sin (in any circumstance you've been through) is bigger than God's mercy?

Hope blooms from suffering
03 avr. 2023
00:23:41
In today’s episode, we're finishing up the Praying the Promises of the Cross series and looking into Jen’s favorite verse.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. - Romans 8:18
If you open up to the beauty of this verse in the Bible, you will be transformed. Your entire perspective on your earthly existence will be changed.
And this episode will help you with this perspective. We rejoice in our sufferings knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character. Character produces hope. And hope does not put us to shame because God's love is poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
