Episode 289
Monday, 23 March, 2026
Got a question? Let us know!Host (Heather): Welcome to Made for Mondays—the podcast where we explore ways to bring Sunday’s message into our everyday lives. Who’s joining me today?Guests (Jamey and Tyler): Hey everyone!WEEKEND CHITCHATHost: Alright, before we jump in—what did y’all get into this weekend?Host Transition: Okay, now that we’ve established we’re real people with real lives…BIBLE READING CHALLENGEHost: How’s Jesus speaking to you through the Bible Reading Challenge this week?(Deuteronomy, Joshua, Mark, Luke)SUNDAY DISHHost: Tyler, this week you walked us into Step 11 by reminding us that connection with God grows through practice, not pressure. From Philippians 4, you showed us that prayer, meditation, gratitude, and steadying our thoughts aren’t ways to earn closeness with God—they’re ways to live with Him.Q1 – Personal Entry PointWhen you think about your current connection with God, what word or phrase comes to mind—and why?Follow-up: Has that felt consistent lately, or has it been shifting?Q2 – Joy Before the ChangePaul talks about rejoicing—even while under house arrest.How does that challenge the way we tie joy to circumstances instead of closeness with Jesus?Follow-up: What might change in our prayer life if we focused on being with God before asking Him to fix things?Q3 – Practice, Not PressureOur big idea is: connection with God grows through practice, not pressure.The Jewish people built their lives around rhythms with God, while we often try to “fit Him in.”What does that difference reveal about how we view our relationship with Him?Follow-up: How might even a few intentional rhythms reshape that connection?Q4 – When Noise WinsWe talked about both external and internal noise.What tends to drown out God most in our lives right now?Follow-up: How can community help us notice when life feels full—but our souls are running dry?Q5 – The Next Right ThingTyler, you tied connection with God to simple obedience—doing the next right thing.For someone who feels stuck, what’s one small step they could take this week?Follow-up: Why does God so often meet us in ordinary obedience instead of big breakthrough moments?JOIN US SUNDAY!Host: That’s all we’ve got for today! We’ll see you and your guests this Sunday at 9 and 10:45 as we take the final (yet ongoing) step together.If you can’t make it in person, join us on YouTube at 1PM.We know these Steps have been challenging—but we hope they’ve also been deeply rewarding.Remember—it works if you work it.Until next time… go BE LOVE!Stay Connected Website: https://believerschurch.org/ Bible Reading Plan: https://believerschurch.org/bible-reading-plan/Believers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/believerschurch.va/ Believers Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/believers_church/Subscribe to The Outlet: https://believerschurch.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=66f00f86238de86688d2480e6&id=729c3f381f
