You'll enjoy this blog post: "Faith for the Forgetful"

"We all forget things—where we put our keys, why we walked into a room, or even that one important anniversary (not saying who, but you know who you are!). But here’s the good news—God already knows we’re forgetful, and He’s built reminders into His Word to anchor us in truth. That’s why He tells His people, over and over again: Don’t forget to remember!"

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Joshua 1:1-5:1, where we see God setting up His people for success—not worldly success, but the kind rooted in trust and obedience. We’ll unpack how right theology shapes our courage, why obedience isn’t just personal but communal, and what Rahab’s faith can teach us about stepping out in trust before we see results. And we’ll ask the big question: Are we setting up spiritual reminders in our own lives to remember God’s faithfulness?

💡 Key Thought: "Courage isn’t about self-confidence; it’s about God-confidence. So if you struggle with self-confidence—good news! You’re already halfway there."

So grab your Bible, take a deep breath, and let’s remember together. God is faithful, and He’s leading us forward. Are we paying attention?

• Joshua 1:9 – “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
• Joshua 4:6-7 – “What do these stones mean to you?”
• Hebrews 4:8 – “If Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on.”

Heirs of the Gospel - Children of Promise....this phrase is packed with meaning, hinting at our identity as heirs to God's promises. We explore why the law was given (hint: it’s not to save us) and how it points out our need for a Savior. We learn that faith in Christ transforms us from being bound by the law to becoming full-fledged heirs. Paul brilliantly explains that in Christ, there’s no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female. We’re all one, wearing Christ as our identity.

See the beauty of adoption as sons (yes, sons—because it signifies being an heir). This isn’t about exclusion but elevation, showing how everyone is brought to the highest privilege in God’s family. Are we living as true heirs, embracing grace over legalism, and inviting others into this incredible promise? So grab your Bible, open your heart, and let’s embrace the freedom and intimacy we have as children of promise. You won’t want to miss this enlightening study that ties it all together with God’s amazing grace!

🙌 I meet with women like you for pastoral care. If you need a safe and encouraging place to share your heart, be prayed for, and pointed to the life-giving truth in God's Word, please reach out. My contact information is here: https://www.jennifergrichmond.com/contact/ The Dwelling Richly podcast and Bible study is for women who love God with heart, soul, mind, and strength.

We are women who enthusiastically and intentionally dwell in the Word and let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly.

"Galatians: Free and Filled." Sept-November, 2024 - a 12-week study through Galatians. Details/Register here. Looking for the lessons? Get those here: JenniferGRichmond.com/galatians-free-and-filled-lessons/

Dwelling in the Word and letting the Word dwell in us richly is different than reading the Bible or reading a devotional with Bible passages. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly and return the favor by dwelling in the Word - not "doing" Bible study, not simply reading - but moving into the Word with heart, soul, mind, and strength. It's being intentional in making a shift from treating the Word of God like a self-help book to letting it dwell in us as the living Word of God that it is.

Every relationship and even our self-talk should be filtered through the lens of the gospel. Because, let's be real, life throws a lot at us, and staying grounded in the gospel is key. I even share a personal story about a recent challenge with my husband that taught me the importance of forgiveness and letting go of bitterness. Spoiler: It all comes back to the gospel!

Join me as we unpack the importance of keeping in step with the gospel, just like Paul did when he called out Peter for his public misstep. We'll also touch on the five solas of scripture and how they can help us stay focused on the truth. So grab a cozy spot, maybe a cup of coffee, and let's grow together in understanding the radical transformation the gospel brings. 🙌

The gospel is not just about tweaking a few behaviors but completely transforming us from the inside out? We're diving deep into the book of Galatians and exploring how the gospel is designed to reverse us, not the other way around.

We often think we can figure things out on our own, right? Whether it's trying to do better politically, culturally, or spiritually, each generation believes it can finally get it right. But history tells us a different story. As we unpack the message of Galatians, we'll see how each attempt to create systems promising freedom often ends up leading to more control and bondage. And guess what? It's the same with our spiritual lives.

Join me as we explore Paul's powerful words and his own transformation by the gospel. His life, once dedicated to persecuting the church, became a testament to God's grace and power, glorifying God through his radical change. Let's challenge ourselves to not rationalize our positions but to truly embrace the gospel's call to become new creations in Christ.

So, grab your Bible, maybe a cup of coffee, and let's dive into the transformative power of the gospel. Are you ready to let the gospel reverse you? 🌿

Galatians: Free & Filled is a verse-by-verse Bible study through one of the most fired up - maybe the most! - epistle of Paul's! He comes in to right the "ship" to bring the churches in Galatia back on course with the truth. They needed this strong correction then and we need it today!

In Galatians we will be called to check for any legalism and live to uncover the pure, unfiltered gospel of grace. We'll laugh, we'll learn, and we might just get a little fiery as we explore Paul's passionate plea to the early church.

In this episode, we tackle the sufficiency of the gospel, the dangers of adding to God's word, and the incredible freedom we have in Christ. Whether you're new to the faith or a seasoned believer, this study promises to challenge and inspire you to live freely and fully in God's grace.
