  • #8: The Haggai Housing Crisis
    Mar 6 2022
    Let’s face it, we’ve all neglected God in favor of staying focused on our own selfish plans. Toward the end of the Old Testament is a little two-chapter book written by a prophet named Haggai. Join us as we take a deeper look at a “housing crisis” that seemed to be occurring with God initially getting the short end of the stick. Thankfully, there’s a happy ending to the story. Thank you for listening today. If this episode has whet your appetite to read God‘s word, we have a free gift for you. Download CJ’s eBook “Fuel for the Soul” for free at www.IlluminateShow.com.

  • #7: Lingering
    Mar 6 2022
    Sports fans linger outside a stadium hoping for an autograph. Fans of a popular band do the same after a concert, hoping for a quick selfie. The more we enjoy a person, place or event, the more we want to linger or tarry. In this episode we look at three examples of lingering in the presence of God from scripture. Joshua (Exodus 33:11), Anna (Luke 2:36-37), and Mary (Luke 10:38-39) Thank you for listening today. If this episode has whet your appetite to read God‘s word, we have a free gift for you.

  • #6: Gone Fishin'
    Mar 6 2022
    Those of you who like fishing will enjoy this episode. Even though Jesus grew up as a carpenter’s son, he seemed to know a thing or two about fishing on the Sea of Galilee. Our main passage is John 21:1-19 while also referring to Luke 5:1-11. Both passages involve legendary fish stories that seem almost too good to be true. Thank you for listening today.

  • #5: New Year, New Day, New Mercies
    Mar 6 2022
    We’re at the beginning of another New Year which means new goals, new aspirations, new resolutions for many. Before long, March rolls around and some of these great intentions begin to fade or get swallowed up by daily life. In this episode, CJ & Shelley look at four passages that have a “newness” theme: Isaiah 43:18-19, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Lamentations 3:22-24, Revelation 21:4-7. As we’ll see, our God is all about “new" for our days, weeks, months and years. Thank you for listening today. If this episode has whet your appetite to read God‘s word, we have a free gift for you.

  • #4: The Greatest ADVENTure in History
    Mar 6 2022
    As we move into the fourth and final Advent Sunday before Christmas, CJ & Shelley look at some of the significance of both the first and second coming of Jesus. Advent literally means "the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event." A couple key passages we'll look at are Isaiah 9:1-7 and Revelation 19:11-16. It's also good to remember that the Kingdom of God is not a democracy...but...well...a KINGdom. We also discuss the expectations and how we can easily be disappointed at times with our limited earthly vision. Thank you for listening today.

    Mar 6 2022
    In this first episode, we take a look at the story behind the podcast title, “Illuminate”, and where we hope to take our listeners. Psalm 119:105 will help “light our way” as we mine some nuggets from this popular verse in scripture. We touch on agates, ultrarunners, journaling, and luminaries.
