Suppose you need a little motivation to leave the 99 and go find the one.Here’s the Top 3 Take from this week’s episode.  01. You give them something to eatWe must see a crowd without the Shepherd. Compassion makes that possible. It triggers accountability as we stand with Jesus on whatever hillside our sheep are roaming. 02. Freewill defines your offeringWhen we take into account what we have, free will defines our offering. Like Jesus, we lift up what we have to God in thanksgiving. Our offering, submitted to him, so we can feed his sheep.  03. Save what you learn God fills our spiritual basket with sustenance, foresight, wisdom to feed the next crowd gathering in our day, our life. Or that lone sheep that is wandering through the dusk… hungry. So, do this: save what you learn for the next time.  Stay with us for the conversation. e208.

This is Faith to Witness 99. Motivating us to seek a deeper faith, stronger witness.  Season 4 Episode 207 When Jesus Says “I am willing” (notes from a healed leper) Here’s the Top 3 Take from this week’s episode. A little motivation that travels well, human. 1. Lay down your spirit When we ask our Savior to lay his hand on our wound, we must recognize the sovereign nature of his power to respond.  2. Ask from a convicted heartConviction brings us to kneel before Jesus, with an open and honest perspective of our open wound.  3. Steward the Savior’s touchThe healing that our Savior does within us must live amongst a crowd of unbelievers, within a community of lukewarm believers. And as praise in the inner circles of those who are overjoyed by our healing.  Stay with us for the conversation. e207 Listen to the full episode on your platform here: <a href="http://pod.link/1648558274" rel="nofollow">pod.link/1648558274</a> Read today’s show notes: Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/  Receive episode alerts | subscribe at <a href="http://kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">kathrynbise.com</a> Connect with Kathryn: <a href="mailto:deeperwater@kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">deeperwater@kathrynbise.com</a> #Savior’sTouch #JesusIsSovereign #WhenJesusHealsAWound #JesusHealsTheLeper #FindTheLostSheep #LeaveThe99 #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithToWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast  Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

Here’s the Top 3 Take from this week’s episode. A little motivation that travels well, human. 01. Count the costGod is faithful deep inside his nature. And we travel deep when we count the cost of giving everything we have to get there.  02. Help carry the lostWe all share the same purpose. To help Jesus carry the lost home. Our earthly shoulders. His divine power. 03. Seek your authentic witnessWhen we go finding the one God has put on our path, we will need his nature for the rescue. This is where our authentic witness lives.

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 205  (Most Downloads All-Time... and counting)Re-release - When I Confess My Brokenness Daily (God draws me closer with His mercy)(originally published February 7 2024)  When we confess, it is like saying “here” at roll call. It is our time to tell God when we did not choose Him, when we did not choose His Will, His way, when we tried to get out ahead of Him, when we tried to rule alongside Him, when we treated His people poorly, or when we gave our minds and hearts to something, anything, other than Him. When we name our sins of separation, God shows us mercy. Proverbs 28:13Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.#God’smercy #confessionstoGod #GardenofEden #IfellwithEve #myinheritanceinheaven #God’spropheticvoice #Godissovereign #God’sstory #Moses #God’sStory #forGodsoloved #thegoodandperfectgift #whattogiveforChristmas#theperfectgifttogive #theperfectfruittogive #thedivinegift #theperfectgift #whattogiveforChristmas #fruitoftheSpirit #Iamfound #christianpodcast #christseekers #christfollowers #hopewriterscommunity #truthtotablecommunity #faiththatrocks #mywitness99 #askGodforinsight #howtogrowmyfaith #buildingspiritualcharacter #growmyfaith #God’spresenceFind today’s show notes and links at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/" rel="nofollow">https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/</a> Listen here: Pod LinkInstagram (link in bio)Never miss an episode  | subscribe at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/stay-connected/" rel="nofollow">kathrynbise.com</a>Connect with Kathryn:  <a href="mailto:deeperwater@kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">deeperwater@kathrynbise.com</a> Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 204Re-release - When You Say, “It’s Complicated.” (I Say, “God Chose Complicated.”) (originally published October 8 2025) Here’s the gist, human. We find solace in repeating decisions that allow us to retreat from what is uncomfortable. We think we are making good decisions. We ask God to direct us. Yet because we cannot see how it is possible that he can navigate the decisions of people out of our control, well, we stand at the window like a child, watching for his next move when barely a minute has passed in the presence of a timeless God. We fall into resignation when our situation, our relationship continues on with no change, no turn for the better. This sounds like some spiraling indie reality, but we actually do this in lives that aren’t half-bad. Tolerable. We let what we don’t like, no longer want to deal with “go dark” inside.So, we don’t have to work through a life that is just too complicated. God chose complicated. Join us. E158.

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 203 Re-release - What is Your Truth on the Ground? (Part 2, Spiritual Maturity, Peter)(originally published February 11 2026) Here’s the gist, human. Peter’s first letter is impassioned, truth-seared, and glorious. It comes from his experiences, that he has lived his life trading measure for measure, that what he does in action, will receive a reciprocal spiritual strengthening. That spiritual maturity is embracing the glory-bound spiritual gain of things. His life convinces us of this: that a full investment in our obedience yields the highest spiritual return. We can’t not hear Peter.My faith is defined by my spiritual maturity in action, my truth on the ground. God’s Word illuminates my faith by what I do. So I ask us, “how much clearer does God need to be?Peter speaks.

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 202 Re-release - Are You Captive to Anxiety? (let God be the measure of its depth and scope) (originally published February 25 2026) Here’s the gist, human. Nothing new here. Who doesn’t have anxiety, who doesn’t work hard to not worry and perpetuate more of it in the process? For so many of us, that is an ongoing rhetorical state of mind. We don’t even need to answer. We know it’s true.  Let’s call anxiety exactly what it is. Let’s name it to God. A petition of the heart. That we take it to him, and let him measure the depth of our anxiety against the scope of its reach in our life. Because our God is sovereign.Join us. Philippians 4:66 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Listen to full episode on your platform here: <a href="http://pod.link/1648558274" rel="nofollow">pod.link/1648558274</a> #donotworry #anxiety #giveyourworrytoGod #worrying #spiritualmaturity #God’ssovereignty #faithtowitness #honoringstruggles #spiritualmotivation #knowingGoddeeply #fiercefaith #becomingpoorinspirit #faith #witness #findthelostsheep #instagramreels <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/christfollowers/" rel="nofollow">#christfollowers</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hopewriterscommunity/" rel="nofollow">#hopewriterscommunity</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/truthtotablecommunity/" rel="nofollow">#truthtotablecommunity</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mywitness99/" rel="nofollow">#mywitness99</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/howtogrowmyfaith/" rel="nofollow">#howtogrowmyfaith</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/buildingspiritualcharacter/" rel="nofollow">#buildingspiritualcharacter</a> #growmyfaith #leavethe99 #boldChristianwitness #God’sstory #Iamfound #christianpodcast #christfollowers Find today’s show notes with links at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/" rel="nofollow">https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/</a>Never miss an episode | subscribe at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/stay-connected/" rel="nofollow">kathrynbise.com</a>Connect with Kathryn: <a href="mailto:deeperwater@kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">deeperwater@kathrynbise.com</a> Instagram (link in bio) Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

Faith to Witness 99 Season 3 Episode 201Re-release - What Breaks My Heart in All the Right Places (a view from Mount Nebo) (originally published November 5 2025) Here’s the gist, human.  What do you imagine God has prepared for you? Moses lived a hard-fought testimony and died in the arms of God. (or so I envision it). Today we consider obedience gone rogue, two strikes on a rock and a God who represents his holiness. We explore a shepherd’s mental path: Forget not. Accept. Trust. We climb Mount Nebo to see how Moses left this earth. An obedient servant. With a distant view of the Promised Land alongside the God he served. It breaks my heart in all the right places.Thanks for listening.1 Corinthians 2:9But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him.”Listen to full episode on your platform here: <a href="http://pod.link/1648558274" rel="nofollow">pod.link/1648558274</a>#obeyGod #trustGod #God’sholiness #disobeyingGod #consequenceofdisobedience #Mosesstrikestherock #MosesdiesonMountNebo #ForgetnotwhatGodhasdone ##giveyourlifetoChrist #Romans 10:9 #gettingsaved #fiercefaith #becomingpoorinspirit #faith #witness #findthelostsheep #instagramreels <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/christfollowers/" rel="nofollow">#christfollowers</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/hopewriterscommunity/" rel="nofollow">#hopewriterscommunity</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/truthtotablecommunity/" rel="nofollow">#truthtotablecommunity</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mywitness99/" rel="nofollow">#mywitness99</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/howtogrowmyfaith/" rel="nofollow">#howtogrowmyfaith</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/buildingspiritualcharacter/" rel="nofollow">#buildingspiritualcharacter</a> #growmyfaith #leavethe99 #boldChristianwitness #God’sstory #Iamfound #christianpodcast #christfollowersFind today’s show notes with links at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/" rel="nofollow">https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/</a>Never miss an episode | subscribe at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/stay-connected/" rel="nofollow">kathrynbise.com</a>Connect with Kathryn:  <a href="mailto:deeperwater@kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">deeperwater@kathrynbise.com</a>Instagram (link in bio) Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd. Season 3 Episode 200 When the Enemy Exploits Your Vulnerability and Vantage Point (Jesus bears witness in the wilderness) Here’s the gist, human. I have always thought of the wilderness days of Jesus face to face with Satan as pretty much hands off, spiritually. Just so powerful. Actually, scary. Unfathomable. But my Bible read-thru right now stopped me here, on Matthew, Chapter 4. On this read-thru it became so personal. Boldly put, that the enemy is always searching for when you are deeply vulnerable. Satan will try to take you to the highest earthly vantage point, to whatever worldly temptation will send you into a spiritual spin. He will con you with kingdoms promising independence with earthly crowds chanting your name. If you bow down and chant his name.Matthew 4:8-108 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”So we go there today. Join us for this final episode of Season 3. It will prepare you for a deeper assessment of your own vulnerabilities during our season break.

I am all in on seeking wisdom. Being chased by spiritual conviction about this sure improves my commitment to it… coupled with God’s Word. Plenty of his Word in this episode because the truth works on shaping a discerning heart in each of us. Every word, every verse. Join us as we work our way to why wisdom will cost us everything.  Because when we seek wisdom we are pursuing a life lived deep within God’s character. And, although he brings discernment one thought at a time, one decision in a moment, one reflection in our past, we can embrace the nature of his wisdom through obedience, and, through something as simple as a walk through his creation.  And seeking the mystery of his Son.  Colossians 2:2-3 2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

We’re sharing space with a king’s insights today. We are giving wisdom a longer leash as we consider a few words from the king who God made “wiser than all the people of the East.” I wasn’t preparing to focus on wisdom. Or, for a two-part episode. But God has a plan. So now I’m curious. And we need to hear it. 1 Kings 3:8-98 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”Join us for a little heart to heart talk about wisdom.E198 Listen to full episode on your platform here: <a href="http://pod.link/1648558274" rel="nofollow">pod.link/1648558274</a> #Wisdom #KingSolomonWisdom #WisdomfromGod #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithtoWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #FaithWitness #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #Leavethe99 #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast  Find today’s show notes with links at Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and  <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/" rel="nofollow">https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/</a> Never miss an episode | subscribe at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/stay-connected/" rel="nofollow">kathrynbise.com</a>Connect with Kathryn: <a href="mailto:deeperwater@kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">deeperwater@kathrynbise.com</a>Instagram (link in bio)Substack: <a href="https://substack.com/@kathrynabise1" rel="nofollow">https://substack.com/@kathrynabise1</a>  Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd.  Season 3 Episode 197 Jesus Saves You By Your Name. (human for human) Here’s the gist, human. The world tells us we are one of many. The world tells us we are one of too many. A face in a crowd. A follower on a dashboard. A buyer of the best-selling item. An ancestral spec on the canvas of centuries played out.  But when it comes right down to who we really are, life is personal.  Today is undeniably personal. We live from moment to moment through our senses, our intellectual acuity, our emotional energy, gliding on the breadth and depth of our spiritual wing span. Does that even need to be said? Yes. It does. Because this is the foundation on which we have a relationship with Jesus.  John 10:3: &#34;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.&#34; Humanity was not saved by a divine army of heavenly chariots carrying kingdom warriors. Humanity was not saved by a divine power dictating from Heaven’s throne. No, a divine being became flesh. A divine being, the Word, became the Son of Man, one human who walked this earth in perfect harmony with his Heavenly Father.  He hung on the cross human for human.  Join us.

Pausing to picture the glory of God as Ezekiel experienced it is a weighty proposition. The sound of cherubim, the vision of a throne made of lapis lazuli, and a Spirit that pulls us to our feet. Glowing metal. Fire. A place for the soles of God’s feet. The weightiness of our Creator. A Creator who hovered over the Genesis waters to shape the only world we have ever known. A Heavenly Father who designed his own desire to dwell with us in the earthly space he created for us. I want to see that. I want to see what Ezekiel saw. Do you?Ezekiel 10:44 Then the glory of the Lord rose from above the cherubim and moved to the threshold of the temple. The cloud filled the temple, and the court was full of the radiance of the glory of the Lord. Join us for part 2.

This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd. Season 3 Episode 195 A Watchman Who Witnesses the Glory of God (I have a spirit-crush on Ezekiel)Here’s the gist, human. Ezekiel was a man that listened to God tell him about the “river” and a hope for the future. A man that God took further, beyond the exile, to the return, and the exacting nature of his glory and how he would dwell again with his people. A man that heard God describe his glory. And who showed him what it looked like. A man that heard God prophecy this: “The Lord is there.” A man living through his prophetic life with such spiritual endurance that it makes me feel closer to God. With all my senses.I mean. That is my spirit-crush.It comes in two parts. The first part is Ezekiel, the watchman. The witness. And the second part is what Ezekiel saw, what he experienced of the glory of God. Ezekiel 3:16-2116 At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me: 17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. Today we look at how God calls Ezekiel, and how God defines being a witness in the life of Ezekiel. Although I think it is something of a challenge to think of a prophet as a role model, Ezekiel makes me think it is possible. Join us.E195Listen to full episode on your platform here: <a href="http://pod.link/1648558274" rel="nofollow">pod.link/1648558274</a> TheGloryofGod #God’sGlory #Witness #WatchmanForIsrael #Ezekiel #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithtoWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #FaithWitness #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #Leavethe99 #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast Find today’s show notes with links at Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and  <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/" rel="nofollow">https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/</a> Never miss an episode | subscribe at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/stay-connected/" rel="nofollow">kathrynbise.com</a>Connect with Kathryn: <a href="mailto:deeperwater@kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">deeperwater@kathrynbise.com</a>Instagram (link in bio)Substack: <a href="https://substack.com/@kathrynabise1" rel="nofollow">https://substack.com/@kathrynabise1</a>  Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

We are faced with false gods all the time. Today, we look at three men who chose God, not false gods. Three men who were clear about who the Great Defender is. God. And only God. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Daniel 3:16-18 16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.” Join us to see righteous courage in action.

(gather God’s morning manna)Here’s the gist, human. We crave a blank slate. Starting again. I can picture the excitement of the Israelites packing for the exodus. Everyone loves a blank slate. But when the post Red Sea reality settles in, we begin to romanticize the past. The free fish, the cucumbers, the lemons, the garlic.We crave that which we no longer have now that we see it in the rearview mirror. Numbers 11:4-64 The rabble with them began to crave other food, and again the Israelites started wailing and said, “If only we had meat to eat! 5 We remember the fish we ate in Egypt at no cost—also the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic. 6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!”Sometimes God leads our exodus to a future we didn’t plan for. A future we didn’t want. I show up a little heroic in these circumstances, veiling my perspective in an undying commitment to God’s Will, but my soul continues to pine for what I am leaving behind. Join us to consider what happens when our past challenges God’s daily provision.E193Listen to full episode on your platform here: <a href="http://pod.link/1648558274" rel="nofollow">pod.link/1648558274</a>#BreadOfLife #MorningManna #HiddenManna #MannaInTheWilderness #Manna #God’sNature #SpiritualMaturity #God’sSovereignty #FaithtoWitness #SpiritualMotivation #KnowingGodDeeply #FierceFaith #SpiritualComfort #PoorinSpirit #Faith #Witness #LostSheep #FaithWitness #LifeFaithPodcast #FaithWalkPodcast #WomenFaithPodcast #Faith-BasedPodcast #FaithJourneyPodcast #ChristFollowers #MyWitness99 #BuildingSpiritualCharacter #GrowMyFaith #Leavethe99 #BoldChristianWitness #ChristianPodcast  Find today’s show notes with links at Substackhttps://substack.com/@kathrynabise1 and  <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/" rel="nofollow">https://kathrynbise.com/category/buoy-podcast-show-notes/</a> Never miss an episode | subscribe at <a href="https://kathrynbise.com/stay-connected/" rel="nofollow">kathrynbise.com</a>Connect with Kathryn: <a href="mailto:deeperwater@kathrynbise.com" rel="nofollow">deeperwater@kathrynbise.com</a>Instagram (link in bio)Substack: <a href="https://substack.com/@kathrynabise1" rel="nofollow">https://substack.com/@kathrynabise1</a>  Go to kathrynbise.com to sign-up for weekly podcast alerts. https://kathrynbise.com

This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd.  Season 3 Episode 192 When You Just Need a Joy Boost (David, Peter, Jesus to elevate your attitude) Here’s the gist, human. Sometimes we just need to jumpstart some joy. The kind of elation and inspiration that only comes from our Creator. We need God to pump us up. And he can. So if you are feeling, depressed, discouraged, distraught, disengaged, and maybe just plain low, join us for a little joy boost.  I had other insights in mind for today, powerful verses, scenes I just travelled in my Bible trek, I just finished living through 39 kings endnote ruling Queen in the divided kingdom… but God handed me a mighty mandate.  To talk about the power of his Joy today. And remember, human, that his Word is God-breathed. When you hear his Word picture God filling your spirit with a crazy, enduring energy, an eternal assurance that your life, your purpose, well, his purpose for you, is worthy in the name of his Son. An affirmation deep within your heart that defies all the crusty defeats your earthly life is throwing at you.  1 Peter 1:8-9 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. Today, joy boost 1, 2, and 3. Take it in and pass it along to someone who needs it BAD right now.

This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd. Season 3 Episode 191 Live a Life that Honors God’s Covenant (we need the wilderness) Here’s the gist, human. What happened in the wilderness for forty years with Moses and the chosen nation, seems like a long time ago. Time has changed things. Culture has moved on. Jesus came to save us, we can leave the wilderness behind.  No thank you. I need that wilderness. I need to know deeply, I need to embrace how God made his covenant with his chosen nation. Because Jesus fulfilled the covenant of his Heavenly Father. I need to live a life that honors God’s covenant. From the beginning to the end. I am traversing through God’s story right now, and realized I must stop and share words you may not have heard, the words of Moses. Not at the burning bush, not at the Red Sea, not when he struck the rock (although that is super important). No, words he spoke when he and the nation he was leading is on the threshold of the Promised Land. His words, his pouring into these people, his appealing to them to take God into their hearts, that God is near, his words to shepherd one generation out, and new generations in, as they are about to cross the Jordan. With dry feet.  Deuteronomy 30:11-14 11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. Join us in the wilderness, with a million+ men, women, children, the next generation. E191.

This is Faith to Witness 99, motivating us to hear God and share the Shepherd. Season 3 Episode 190 I Feel You Hovering, God (bring me from chaos to the light)Here’s the gist, human. God “hovered” over the dark surface of the deep. Genesis 1:1-21 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.The Spirit of God moved first. He hovered. A bird metaphor—like an eagle over her nest.Volumes have been written to interpret the beginning of creation. It is a truly joyous moment that we cannot possibly comprehend. We weren’t there. We have never seen such a thing as God creating our world to live in. Six days of creating that brings us our world and humanity. We know this. It started with God, hovering.So I can’t help but think about how God hovers over each of us, in any given moment. Hovering, his full attention on the right time to bring what? The light. His light. No less so than when he made that first move to breathe life into our creation. It leads me to this question: How long does the Spirit of God hover over the lost sheep until I, or you, follow the bleating and find this little, lost woolly creature? Because the Spirit of God is ready and waiting to bring this creature to new life with the 99. Join us to consider the power of surrendering to a God who patiently, expectantly, waits to bring the light, the truth, to our moments, our days, our path, our witness, our life. Right out of the scripture gate.
