Sunday was so exciting, and we're kicking off the episode with our first reactions to our nephew getting baptized! We're talking about missions, generosity in the church, and a Bible character you might want to dress up as for the next "Dress like a Bible Character" event you go to (are those still a thing?) You ARE a Bible reader. You CAN understand God's Word. You WILL be changed by what you learn. And, in turn, the Word of God will change your family, your community, and your world. SOC...

112- Sunday Recap with Christina Link: The King is Coming

Welcome back to the Sunday Recap! What the Lord was trying to speak to us during the service today was confirmed over and over and over again: Get ready, the King is coming! Throughout our opening, the song set, the message, and the altar call, the Lord was faithful to remind us of his return. First, I got a little side-tracked talking about making sure the songs we sing are theologically correct, but we got back on track to talk about Bro. JJ's message. "The question is not if you be...

Welcome back to the Heaven and Hale podcast and to another episode of the Sunday Recap. Today we're talking about our favorite hymns, how Wednesday night small groups have been going, and we're recapping Pastor Joseph's message from Sunday morning: "Set Free to Live Free" "Jesus broke the curse, so you can break the cycle!" Galatians 5:16 "I say then, walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh." You ARE a Bible reader. You CAN understand God's Word. You WILL be change...

110- Sunday Recap with Christina Link: Jesus Loves You

Welcome back, friends! In this episode of the Sunday Recap, we're recapping the March Hope Kids' Service, and it's all fun and games until it's time to get serious. We start this episode with a game of "This or That" that we played during service to build community, but it will help you get to know the two of us as well! We're recapping today's message, too, which was "I Believe Jesus Loves Me," and we've decided it's a message that adults need to hear just as much as kids do. In the m...

109- The Sunday Recap with Cohost Christina Link: Hope at the End of the Rope

Welcome back to the Heaven and Hale Podcast, the Sunday Recap Edition! This Sunday was all about Hope-- not Hope Apostolic, the place, but the Hope we have in Jesus. In Pastor Joseph's message this morning, he talked about three things that take away from our hope: panic, self-pity, and negativity. He also talked about three things that build up our hope: looking to Jesus, surrounding ourselves with the body of Christ, and an earnest prayer. If you're at the end of your rope, tie a kno...

108- Sunday Recap: God is Bigger than This and That

We put God in a box, and we're not just talking about the things we want Him to do... It's what we believe about who He is. He is so much BIGGER! This episode is chaotic, and we talk ALOT, but the premise is simple: we need to take the limits off God. Whatever your expectations, whatever your thoughts, your plans... He is greater. "It's not a God-sized dream if you can do it without him." You ARE a Bible reader. You CAN understand God's Word. You WILL be changed by what you lear...

Welcome to another Sunday Recap! Christina says this is our "Hot-Take" since we recorded this episode within minutes of ending today's service. We're sharing our song set (spoiler alert: it was about heaven), our favorite one-liners from Bro. JJ's message today, and we're taking a deep dive on what happened between Jesus' death and his resurrection. "Wherever you sit is where you will stay" "You cannot resurrect what has not been killed." You ARE a Bible reader. You CAN understand God...

106- Sunday Recap with Christina Link: "Letting Go of the Past"

Welcome back to the Sunday Recap! We're covering a lot of ground in this episode, so I'm adding some time stamps for you. We want to start by expressing our gratitude for the love and support poured out for our family over the past two weeks. You all are the real body of Christ-- thank you. Pastor Joseph's message this week was about letting go of the past, and we can't talk about it without a deep dive into the cycle of shame, how the Lord works through our neuroplasticity (that's all Chris...

105- Sunday Recap with Cohost Christina Link: Let God Change Your Story

We're kicking off this week with our first actual recap of a sermon. This Sunday was definitely one of those "had to be there" kind of experiences, but we're doing our best to share it with you all. The sermon was "You Can Win: Changing Your Story," and we found out that we all may have a Goliath in our life, but we are not underdogs. Goliath brought a knife to a gun fight. In a surprise turn, we also talk about what it means to be anointed, and the narrative that the Pentecostal...

104- Sunday Recap with Co-host Christina Link: Get in the Fight While the Fighting is Good

Welcome back to another episode of the Sunday Recap! We're recapping the first service of the new year, and, well, sometimes things just get weird. We're trying really hard to de-mystify the process of what is goes on when something goes wrong, but we're a little mystified by it ourselves. In this episode we talk about how wonderful it has been to see the kids at our church learn how to pray, the identity shift from "a human having a spiritual experience" to a "spiritual being having a human ...

101- Sunday Recap: Nights of Hope with Joseph Hale

Are we officially old if being away from home at 8:11pm makes us anxious? That's where Joseph and I were when we recorded this episode after a jam-packed weekend of Christmas festivities (pun intended... we literally "jammed out" on instruments, and ate some cookies with jam in the center.... obviously still tired as I type this). We're recapping our favorite cookies of the weekend, our favorite songs from the weekend, sharing our favorite Christmas songs of all time, and recapping the...

100- Home Bible Studies with Christina Link, Jessica Link, Hannah Crouch, Lauren Pitts, Rachel Pitts, Lauren Gammons, and Rayann Smith

Yay for Episode 100! This year has been a journey for both the podcast and my home Bible study. I'm so thankful to have all the ladies that I've been studying with on Tuesday nights on this episode to talk about everything we've learned. By asking questions like "What do these scriptures teach me about Jesus?" and praying "Lord, correct anything I've misunderstood," our lives have been changed by Bible study. We hope, after listening to this episode, that it will be your heart's desire to sta...

099- Sunday Recap: Choose this Day

Welcome everyone to another Sunday Recap! It's been an eventful few days around here, and I'm doing my best to recap it all for you. Pastor Joseph's message today was "Limping Between Two Opinions," and it was taken from 1 Kings and the account of Elijah when he asks the crowd to choose between the Lord and Baal. As it turns out, the world we're living in today is very similar to the world of 1 Kings, and we all have a decision to make! As we learn in this episode, it's not to late to decide ...

098- 12 Days of Christmas Quiet Time Day 9: Luke 15

I would love for you to read the book of Luke with me this Christmas season. Each day there will be an episode where I will read a scripture from that day’s chapter and try to remind us all to keep our eyes on Jesus. Today I'm reading from Luke 15, in which Jesus tells three parables that have become very dear to my heart. You ARE a Bible reader. You CAN understand God's Word. You WILL be changed by what you learn. And, in turn, the Word of God will change your family, your community, ...

097- 12 Days of Christmas Quiet Time Day 8: Luke 11

Let's take a moment to pray.... but for what? Maybe you have the Lord's prayer from the gospel of Matthew memorized, well Luke gives us instruction on that too! The Lord's prayer is a great outline for how to pray, but following these scriptures in Luke are more familiar scriptures that we have come to love: "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you." As it turns out, these scriptures weren't written for you to just ask for anything you want......

Yay! It's Friday, and the weekend is here! In December, that often means running around and doing all. the. things. Maybe you just need a few quiet moments to focus your eyes on Jesus. I'm glad you're here. In Luke 8, we see that Jesus truly is a great teacher. He sees that his disciples need another lesson in faith, and Jesus knows just the people to help teach that lesson! You ARE a Bible reader. You CAN understand God's Word. You WILL be changed by what you learn. And, in turn, the Word o...

095- 12 Days of Christmas Quiet Time Day 6: Luke 7

When I think about what I need, and what I want to provide for you, my listeners, it’s this: a quiet, still moment, to center myself, and readjust my focus, to put my eyes back on Jesus, my thoughts back on Jesus every day. It feels so cliche to say “He’s the reason for the season,” but He is! And I want this podcast to serve as a reminder of that. One of my favorite questions to ask when I read the Bible is "What does this section of scripture teach me about Jesus?" The answer to that quest...

094- 12 Days of Christmas Quiet Time Day 5: Luke 6

During the month of December, I like to read the book of Luke. Honestly, mainly because it’s 24 chapters and I can read the whole book if I read one chapter a day. But also because it’s a book written to the Gentiles, and a sweet reminder that Jesus came for all of us, and that he came, ultimately to die as a final sacrifice for our sins. The birth of Jesus would mean nothing if it weren’t for his death and resurrection that happened some 33 years later. In Luke 6, we find Jesus with h...
