I am completely blown away that this is the last episode of Season 5 of the Confidence in Christ Podcast!! God has been so faithful!

We are ending season 5 and 2024 with a wonderful send off. I was able to chat with Dustin George about his new book, Before Dawn: Knowing God's Presence in the Dark Seasons of Life. I have to say... what a timely message. I feel like winter brings about a bigger chance for depression, anxiety & sadness just because of the drab weather (at least in my neck of the woods). Plus... the holidays aren't always joy filled & happy for all of us. I know this all too well.

One of the biggest ah-ha's for me during this conversation was when Dustin talked about how God has never failed. That isn't anything new to me but when we are in grief we add the word 'me' to the end of that statement... God has never failed me. But when we stop and look over all of history we see that God hasn't only never failed US personally... he has never failed ever! And he never will! That alone gives us hope in the midst of the trials and hard seasons.

Dustin C. George is a lead pastor, a writer, and a conference speaker. He has served for nearly two decades in various pastoral positions across all age ranges. Before entering full time church ministry, Dustin taught high school English for ten years. In his free time, Dustin can usually be found fly-fishing in the Smokies, expanding his skills as a craftsman, or enjoying his next adventure. He and his wife, Rebecca George, live in East Tennessee.

Key Takeaways!

• God is always with us, even in the dark seasons whether we feel it or not
• If you’re a follower of Christ, you are never alone - He is with you
• Be still - in seasons of grief, sorrow and trials, silence can be healing
• Remember that God’s word is eternal truth and our feelings are fleeting
• God Has Never Failed!!
• It’s not only that God hasn’t ever failed you... but He has never failed ever!

Have you ever gotten a nudge from the Lord and thought... that couldn't have been real. No way God would ask me to do THAT! I'm so unqualified and the least likely person to carry out that task......but then you realize God was talking to you and he did indeed ask youth do THAT thing!

That's sort of what happened to my guest today! God revealed an amazing plan for a unique gospel presentation through a dream and she had all the reasons ready not to do it. But God had other plans and my oh my where they wonderful!

Joni Wolf is a happy wife, grateful mom, proud grandmother, enthusiastic storyteller and maker, author, and storyteller of the Immanuel Quilt--a traveling ministry quilt ALL about Jesus. It's the dream made into reality that is now an amazing ministry!

She shares today on the podcast how God brought the quilt into becoming what it is today and how we, every day people, can be equipped by God himself to carry His amazing story of redemption to the world.

You are an ambassador for Christ and that means sharing the amazing story of Jesus with others. We all have our own unique way to doing that, Joni's just happens to be in quilt form.

How is Jesus asking you to share His story with others?

Key Takeaways:

God can use us for unlikely callings, we just have to obey & walk into it

God can use anything to prepare us for what He has planned

When we look back on our lives we can see God’s fingerprints every moment

Each name of Christ draws us more into Him and shares His great story of redemption

The Lord is with us every step of the way as we follow him

God is faithful in all times

Are you craving for a change in life that will lead to actual transformation? God's word is the answer.

The Bible is our #1 way to know God, hear God, be led by God and truly understand anything in life. One question we as humans ask all the time is how do we get into scripture and really experience that life change that we are so craving?

Dan Jacobsen is on fire for the Lord and passionate about seeing people like you and I experiencing transformation in our lives because of God's amazing work through scripture. That's why he finished the book his grandfather started.. wait until you hear about it!!

Dan Jacobsen is the lead pastor of Heartland Community Church and grandson of the late Warren Wiersbe. Warren, a renowned Bible teacher and former Moody Church pastor, who published more than 150 books throughout his lifetime, including the popular BE series.

Years ago, an unpublished manuscript tucked away in a dusty manila folder was unearthed by the Jacobsen family. Dan spent two years preserving his grandfather’s original writings, completing the unfinished work. The result is Becoming New: A 100-Day Journey of Transformation through God’s Word , a powerful continuation of Warren’s legacy.

Within these pages lies a culmination of decades of Biblical study, thoughtfully written for any Christian to embrace and deepen their love for the Lord. It’s not a typical devotional book, rather, it focuses on one theme - the daily transformation of your life and world through the truth of God given by the Holy Spirit. Each of the 100 days in Becoming New offers a distinct theme, allowing readers to explore different aspects of their spiritual lives

Key Takeaways:
Gain grandfatherly wisdom with a rich Bible commentary through this book

Learn how to prioritize God’s word, grow in your understanding of what God’s up to and see how He’s changing you in your daily life

Let the Bible interpret and illustrate itself

If you want to take your faith walk seriously but also want to know God’s word in a way that gets deep in your heart, this devotional will help get you there

We only understand the New Testament because of the history shared in the Old Testament
