HeyJaredLeaving the Kid's Table
Do you remember the “kid’s table” when at family holidays or dinners? I do and that is right where I feel I am at, still, in my walk with God. Some look at it as being “ankle deep” in our walk. Either way, I am at a point where I am tired of being in this state.

Episode Title: The Blessing in the Hard Word Episode Description: Jacob is dying, and he calls his twelve sons together for the last words he'll ever speak over them, not comfort, not sentiment, but truth and prophecy about who they've been and who they're becoming.

Read excerpt
Episode Title: The Pause Before the Border Episode Description: Jacob hasn't seen his son in twenty-two years. Pharaoh has sent carts. Every reason in the world says go, don't wait.

In Genesis 46, we look at why he paused at Beersheba before the best news of his life — and ask whether we do the same, or if we only seek God when things fall apart. In This Episode: Why Jacob stopped at Beersheba instead of rushing straight to Joseph What
