<p class="p1">In episode 11, Krysta and Traci discuss another listener question, “What are some biblical reasons to switch churches?”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> Each of them shares personal experiences including the challenges that come with leaving a congregation they have been in fellowship with for many years.</p> <p class="p1">The sisters explore biblical themes of keeping in step with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, examining the heart, the fruit of the Spirit, and discerning false teaching. Ultimately, Krysta reminds listeners to approach God with confidence and to search His Word. She encourages listeners that making the difficult decision to attend a new church is not the same as leaving the body of Christ. Traci ends with an example from the classic story Pilgrim’s Progress about avoiding false flattery in our Christian journey.</p> <p class="p1">Key Topics Include:</p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">Being “wise as serpents and innocent as doves” as you discern sound teaching (Matthew 10:16).</li> <li class="li1">Looking for Spiritual fruit.</li> <li class="li1">Remaining aware of and avoiding selfish reasons for attending a church.</li> <li class="li1">The peace that comes from following God’s will.</li> <li class="li1">There is a difference between conviction and condemnation.</li> </ul> <p class="p1">Scripture Verses Mentioned: In the New International Version</p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16</li> <li class="li1">“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” Matthew 10:16</li> <li class="li1">“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:15-20</li> <li class="li1">“Those who flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet.” Proverbs 29:5</li> <li class="li1">“Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” Galatians 5:25</li> <li class="li1">“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22, 23</li> <li class="li1">“Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> Philippians 4: 5-7</li> <li class="li1">“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28</li> <li class="li1">Read about the “yeast of the pharisees” in Matthew 16:5 – 12.</li> </ul> <p class="p1">Other Resources Mentioned:</p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">“Beautiful Outlaw: Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus” by John Eldredge.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Outlaw-Experiencing-Extravagant-Personality/dp/1455525707/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PEE130Q9Z3WE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.avy8WshXH0D_mLbHIHWhAyOsUAfNnSG1mYZKsAA0DUUVkc48dXm4ok_A3O_BYOZRfMds9PJiieoiialO97-DPJqzTwFiXZgxDIS4kd95R0nHCx21O7EK3KhA7Br_9N-rnfDgEUDoSngdpx2G_fXAtpqQjwfnzCdcmEwJbD4J1os3enjjR6ZUZrvtE_qhVe7UVSCVYioG1C2UrpiGu0zZrLHXqSda3m37CFJlbNqXpBs.2wjJRQusuiR0dqDMgOyWzfEr5Sd83zszmhb4CGzgG7w&dib_tag=se&keywords=beautiful+outlaw+by+john+eldredge&qid=1717966845&sprefix=Beautiful+Outlaw,aps,106&sr=8-1"> <span class="s2">Find your copy at amazon.com</span></a>.</li> <li class="li2"><span class="s4">“Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyon. <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Pilgrims-Progress-John-Bunyan/dp/B08P29D9NN/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=38XVB8M2376QB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fJEQIKlh6ciNVfAQTiBI22uF_NJkINHi-d1uIsni8zogrCNZI_XYRYCCs4e7-g9XXyv_S0KVjYwx7oF8CQPAh8jjSPB_REc_r_bcNP-wF0iyB2BaWKMWFje3X9cyPgC48vV4zTHY_RSlOx3qouWcN2RCwhTCPmQhzzbCtsNdYUER8xnnn0unDt_7ZTgSAnpGDvYnZDTlw5fbtP8qPVNeFbXd9wvKjHG_6q89Qs-5Kxrxr-KeV8R4mxWVHlKjTGW_j_KJP-l7R1o32QWozb0qMjxeMUNW4dX095lWw5rust8.r11kwjfT3QUBNmRzBx6m8-hItYTRu41dLWzhRFn2WLY&dib_tag=se&keywords=pilgrim's+progress&qid=1719278251&sprefix=pilgrim's+progress,aps,150&sr=8-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1"> <span class="s2">Find an original or abridged version at amazon.com.</span></a></span></li> </ul> <p class="p1">Traci and Krysta encourage listeners to read the full passages listed above, and to seek to know Him more through prayer and searching scripture.

<p class="p1">In episode 10, Krysta and Traci continue their conversation about Jesus, expressing how they desire to know Him more and want everyone to know Him more. The sisters begin by asking listeners, “Whose yoke are you under?” as they discuss the meaning behind the words of Jesus recorded in Matthew 11:30, “For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” </p> <p class="p1">As the conversation unfolds, Krysta and Traci explore the contrast between Jesus’ teaching and the teaching of the pharisees, and the parallels that exist in present day between church culture and the personality of Jesus. Ultimately, the hosts encourage listeners to seek to know Jesus in His word, asking the Spirit for wisdom, and to approach the kingdom like infants – that is, in complete reliance on our Father.</p> <p class="p1">Key Topics Include:</p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">The yoke represents the teaching of a Rabbi.</li> <li class="li1">Some yokes choke out the message of who Jesus really was, “violating the Spirit of the Law while pretending to follow the letter of the law” (John Eldredge, Beautiful Outlaw).</li> <li class="li1">It is important to understand the distinction between church (congregational) culture, or the personality of the person in charge, and the Way.</li> <li class="li1">Jesus is the head of the Church, our great high priest, and he can see right to the heart.</li> <li class="li1">If you do not know why Jesus is good news, how can you share him with others?</li> <li class="li1">On the cross, for the first time in His existence, Jesus became separated from God. He willingly subjected himself to all the pain, loneliness, and hunger of the human condition so that we could be saved.</li> </ul> <p class="p1">Scripture Verses Mentioned: In the New International Version</p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.</li> <li class="li1">John 10: 1-5<span class= "Apple-converted-space"> </span> “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. <span class= "s2"><sup> </sup></span>The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”</li> <li class="li1">Psalm 48:14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.</li> <li class="li1">Acts 7:56 “Look,” he said, “I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”</li> <li class="li1">Luke 18:15-17 People were also bringing babies to Jesus for him to place his hands on them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them. But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. <span class= "s2"><sup> </sup></span>Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”</li> </ul> <p class="p1">Other Resources Mentioned:</p> <ul class="ul1"> <li class="li1">“Beautiful Outlaw: Experiencing the Playful, Disruptive, Extravagant Personality of Jesus” by John Eldredge.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span> <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Outlaw-Experiencing-Extravagant-Personality/dp/1455525707/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PEE130Q9Z3WE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.avy8WshXH0D_mLbHIHWhAyOsUAfNnSG1mYZKsAA0DUUVkc48dXm4ok_A3O_BYOZRfMds9PJiieoiialO97-DPJqzTwFiXZgxDIS4kd95R0nHCx21O7EK3KhA7Br_9N-rnfDgEUDoSngdpx2G_fXAtpqQjwfnzCdcmEwJbD4J1os3enjjR6ZUZrvtE_qhVe7UVSCVYioG1C2UrpiGu0zZrLHXqSda3m37CFJlbNqXpBs.2wjJRQusuiR0dqDMgOyWzfEr5Sd83zszmhb4CGzgG7w&dib_tag=se&keywords=beautiful+outlaw+by+john+eldredge&qid=1717966845&sprefix=Beautiful+Outlaw,aps,106&sr=8-1"> <span class="s3">Find your copy at amazon.com</span></a>.</li> <li class="li1">“Jesus & Women, In the First Century and Now” by Kristi McLelland. <a href= "https://www.lifeway.com/en/product-family/jesus-and-women-bible-study"> <span class="s3">Find your copy at lifeway.com.</span></a></li> </ul> <p class="p1">Traci and Krysta encourage listeners to read the full passages listed above, and to seek to know Him more through prayer and searching scripture.

Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.</p> <p dir="auto">· 3 John 1:10 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.</p> <p dir="auto">· Ephesians 4: 1-3 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
