The Unexpected Podcast

Who were the Pharisees, and why did Jesus rebuke them so harshly? How many of us have Pharisee-like traits? Let's talk about it.

Most people feel lonely at one time or another. Let's talk about it.
 
" Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you. Loneliness is rarely about empty rooms. It is about carrying words you cannot say and truths you do not feel safe to share. Healing is learning to speak what matters most so you are no longer alone with it. This is the work of letting yourself be seen and known for who you really are." Carl Jung

Lee and Amy discuss powerful truths embedded in Isaiah 55.
Key scripture:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9

What does it mean to bear one another's burdens? Let's talk about it.
 
"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load." Galatians 6:2
