• When Truth Confronts Pride: John 7:45-52: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study

  When Truth Confronts Pride: John 7:45-52: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Rachael walks listeners through John chapter seven, focusing on how Jesus models truth, courage, and spiritual discernment in a world full of noise and opposition. She highlights the tension Jesus faced when people questioned His authority, and she draws attention to Nicodemus: one of the few voices willing to slow down, think clearly, and seek truth instead of reacting from pride or fear. Rachael unpacks the danger of making quick judgments, the way God often chooses the overlooked, and the difference between human authority and God’s authority. This episode invites you to examine your assumptions, notice where pride might be getting in the way, and open your heart to the possibility that God wants to show you more than you’ve experienced so far. ☆Go Deeper and Learn to Hear God’s Voice: Knowing Jesus Course ☆To Learn More About Sponsoring a Child, check out Compassion International here:  ➤  Sponsor a Child ☆Go on a trip with Rachael: Bible Study Live ☆Have a question for Rachael?

Courage and discernment are essential in faith. The authority of Jesus captivates and challenges human pride. Nicodemus represents a voice of reason amidst judgment. Judgment often stems from prejudice and pride. God chooses the overlooked and marginalized for His work. Divine authority transcends human systems and structures. Experiencing God may challenge our assumptions and comfort zones. There is always more to God than we can understand. Openness to God's movement is crucial for spiritual growth.

• Passion Vs. Romance: Love, Sex, and the Bible: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study

  Passion Vs. Romance: Love, Sex, and the Bible: Daily Devotional, Daily Bible Study In this episode, Passion vs. Romance, Rachael Groll unpacks the difference between fleeting passion and lasting, godly love. She explains that real fulfillment in relationships isn’t found in momentary excitement or physical connection alone—it’s built on admiration, respect, and a shared relationship with God. Rachael also addresses how chasing emotional highs or unhealthy escapes can leave us empty, while choosing commitment and spiritual intimacy leads to genuine joy. This conversation invites listeners to see passion not as something to chase, but as something that grows naturally within a God-centered, enduring love. ☆Go Deeper and Learn to Hear God’s Voice: Knowing Jesus Course ☆ This podcast devotional is a companion to Knowing God’s Voice, Grab Your Printed Copy Here! ☆To Learn More About Sponsoring a Child, check out Compassion International here:  ➤  Sponsor a Child ☆Go on a trip with Rachael: Bible Study Live ☆Have a question for Rachael?

Chasing the ultimate feeling of a fulfilling relationship is common. That craving is for God, not just physical intimacy. Addiction can take many forms, not just sex. People often discover too late the consequences of unhealthy relationships. True fulfillment comes from God-honoring relationships. The pursuit of fulfillment should align with God's design. Sex is not the ultimate answer to fulfillment. Healthy relationships require commitment and respect. Understanding the deeper needs behind desires is crucial.
