17: The God of Change

Guest: Brian Delamont

• “As followers of Jesus, we build on this foundation that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, forever - and yet, He’s always changing something because He’s also in the process of making all things new.”
• Acts 13:1-3
• “God knows who I am, knows what I’ve gone through - good, bad, ugly - and still has this amazing plan for me. This is the Gospel.”
• “You are not your past mistakes, and nothing is wasted.”
• “Spiritual disciplines give us some great insights into how God recalibrates our hearts.”
• “Worship is incredibly powerful for understanding God’s leading in the midst of change.”
• “One of the first and simplest ways to find discernment in a changing context is to be engaged in connecting my heart with the heart and purposes of God.”
• For more on “daily calling,” listen to Episode 3
• “Fasting is giving our desires to Jesus in every way.”
• “Prayer is coming to God with our hearts, our ears, and our minds open.”
• “Gathering invites us into the welcome of God.”
• “Unity is not unanimity.”
• “You may not ever get every box ticked before you make a decision to take one step forward and to follow, but He is good and He is trustworthy.”
• “Having this heart that is inclined to listen to God through these spiritual disciplines sets you up to be able to be confident that God is good and He loves to lead.”
