When Your Relationship with God Has Changed Over Time
The fire of your early faith has settled and the highs come less often. Learn what Moses told Israel to do with forty years of wilderness, and why verse 4 matters. You've been following Jesus for thirty or forty years, and it doesn't feel the way it did at the start. The worship service doesn't move you like it did when you were twenty-five. Then comes the thought that makes your stomach drop. You start wondering whether you've lost something, or whether you ever had it. That's a frightening th

What to Do When You’ve Been Giving Advice You Aren’t Following
You told a friend to rest while you were burning out. Learn what Paul's repeated verb in Romans 2:21 asks, and the one step that closes the split. You've done it. You told a friend to slow down and rest while you were running yourself into the ground. You told your kid to pray about something while you'd been avoiding God for a month. The counsel was good and you meant every word of it. You just weren't taking any of it. This episode opens with King Solomon, called the wisest man alive, with r

When You’ve Been Praying for Yourself More Than Others
If the whole shape of your prayer life has become you talking to God about you, something starts to shrink. Learn the two verses before Job 42:10 that change how you read it, and the one name to pick this week. Most of us pray mostly for ourselves. Our worries. Our needs. The job interview coming up, or the decision we've been turning over for a month. Nothing is wrong with any of that, since Jesus taught us to ask for daily bread and He meant ours. Here's the thing to watch for. If the whole s

What to Do When You’ve Been Hiding a Struggle From Your Spouse
The thing you're hiding is doing less damage than the hiding itself, and the upkeep is daily. Learn what the Hebrew behind will not prosper says, and the second verb in Proverbs 28:13 that most people read past. Some Christians have been keeping something from their husband or wife. A struggle with spending, or a doubt about God that's been growing for a year. You've told yourself you'll tell them when the time is right, and you've been telling yourself that for a while now. The time never does

When Your Church Has Gotten Political and You Feel Out of Place
The sermons reference political figures and the small group assumes how you vote, so you bite your tongue or stay home. Learn the request Jesus refused to make for His disciples, and what He asked for instead. A lot of Christians are uneasy about what their church has become. The sermons reference political figures more than they used to, and the small-group conversation assumes everybody in the room votes the same way. So you bite your tongue, or you stay home more Sundays and tell yourself it

What to Do When You’re Embarrassed of Your Past
You know God forgave what you did, and you still cringe at the person who did it. Learn where Isaiah 1:18 falls in the chapter, and why God picked the two stains everybody knew were permanent. A lot of Christians have pockets of embarrassment about who they used to be. Decisions you'd never make now, or a choice you look back at and wince about. Here's what's confusing about it. You may be completely settled with God about what you did. You've confessed it. You believe He forgave it, and the gu

About the Host
Bart Leger
I’m a husband, father, pastor, and lifelong encourager with a passion for helping people grow in their faith, especially when life feels full and fast-paced. After forty years of ministry and walking with people through both joy and crisis, I’ve learned that the most powerful moments with God often come in the middle of our everyday routines.
Whether I’m teaching the Bible, offering support during difficult seasons, or simply sharing a word of encouragement, my heart is to remind you that God is faithful—even in the chaos. I don’t believe you have to be perfect to grow spiritually. You just need a willing heart and a little space to pause, listen, and trust that God is working in your story.
