Navigating the Christian life is harder than it looks, especially when balancing relationships, spiritual growth, and living a life of purpose. Go With God is for the curious and the committed, the one with a dusty bible and the theologian, the busy believer and the deconstructing evangelical. You can expect in-depth Bible teaching, practical guidance, and real-life perspective to equip you for every step of the faith journey.

Empty Hands + Narrow Doors: Bible in a Year Recap (Pt. 1)

In this episode, we dive into the first leg of Kaley’s "Bible in a Year" journey, reflecting on the profound lessons found in the first few months of last year. From the ancient covenants of Genesis to the challenging teachings of Jesus in Matthew and Luke, we explore a recurring theme: God doesn’t want our "work"—He wants our hearts.

We discuss the "Graves of Craving" in the wilderness, why God whittled down Gideon’s army to empty hands, and what it truly means to walk through the "narrow door." If you’ve ever felt like you aren’t enough or that you’re carrying too much, this recap will remind you that God’s provision is exact and His faithfulness is true.

In this episode, we cover:

The Power of the Whole Story: Why reading the entire Bible helps us spot what God is doing in our lives today.
Covenant vs. Contract: Understanding why God’s faithfulness isn't dependent on our performance.
The Danger of "Working" for God: A deep dive into Matthew 7 and the difference between knowing God and just doing things in His name.
Portions, Not Rations: Lessons from the Manna and the feeding of the five thousand.
The Weight of Influence: How the faith of Rahab and the sin of Achan impacted their entire families.
Empty Hands & Narrow Doors: Learning to drop our idols and our "swords" to follow Jesus through the narrow path of self-sacrifice.

Scripture References Mentioned:

Genesis 15 & 17: Abraham and the Covenant
Genesis 40-41: The waiting and rescue of Joseph
Exodus 16 & Numbers 11: The Manna, the quail, and the "Graves of Craving"
