Burning Hearts with Rachel Herbeck

Finally, the Holy Spirit searches the mind of God and actually gives us the mind of Christ. Today we discuss how to live in this reality.

One of the realities of being a follower of Jesus is that the best is yet to come. Today we examine the beautiful truth of the amazing depths and heights of what God has prepared for us.

The Holy Spirit reveals to us the secret and hidden wisdom of God! Today we discuss what that secret and hidden wisdom is and how the Holy Spirit enlightens us.

As we continue in 1 Corinthians, we confront the weakness of our own hearts and how the Holy Spirit strengthen us.

This week we dive into 1 Corinthians and discuss what the Spirit of God does in our hearts. Specifically, today we discuss the reality that Jesus is the testimony of God.

On Good Friday, we reflect on the cross as God’s instrument for victory. This place of death becomes the place of triumph and glory, a symbol of hope and great love for each and every believer.

Before He went to the cross, Jesus confronts the weight of all evil in the world in the garden of gethsemane. There, Jesus accepts the cup of wrath the Father gives Him to drink, experiencing the weight of sin and death.

Through His passion, Jesus submits perfectly to the will of the Father. Through His obedience, he gains salvation for the world. He also gives us an example on how to obey God’s will.

In today’s readings, we see that for Jesus, the place of true glory is the place where he suffers. This suffering is honored and valued by the Father, showing us what is important in the Kingdom of God.

We begin this Holy Week by going through the daily readings. As we walk together, we ask the Lord to give us the special grace to journey with Him through this Holy Week in each step of His passion.

As we wrap up our week together, we hold onto the reality that in Christ, we have a destiny of supernatural love. Instead of eternal death, God has given us eternal life and a life of love in him.

Having wrapped up our conversation with Katie McGrady, we ask the Holy Spirit to speak to us about Ephesians 1. As we read, the Lord convicts us of how much blessing the Lord and giving him gratitude matters in our spiritual lives.

Today we wrap up our interview with Katie McGrady and we continue to go through the beginning of Ephesians 1. As we talk, the Holy Spirit leads us to a deeper reality that God is always thinking of us and has chosen us.

We continue our interview with Katie McGrady and we dive into Ephesians 1. In this conversation we focus on the reality of being adopted sons and daughters of God the Father, and what that means for us.

This week we begin a series of interviews with Katie McGrady recorded on the Good News Cruise. As we start our week, we hear about how the Lord transformed her own life and about her own approach to God’s Word.

Paul teaches us today that we must continue to press on toward the goal of Heaven and being with Jesus face to face. We learn from Him that mature disciples actually desire to press into the sufferings of Christ so that we may learn to live in the power of the resurrection.

Today we see Paul laying out for us his central desire in following Christ: to know Him, live in the power of His resurrection, share in his sufferings, and become like him through his death. This is a challenging word and we ask for the grace to desire to share in Christ’s sufferings so that we may obtain the resurrection from the dead.

Today we discuss the amazing truth that through are baptism, we are found in Christ. Not only do we belong to Him, but we are made a part of His body, so He is in us and we are in Him.

Paul continues to expound on the surpassing worth of Jesus. As we continue in Philippians 3, we reflect on the reality that the only thing of true worth and value is to gain Christ.

We begin this week by diving into Philippians 3, where Paul expresses to us that Jesus Christ is the only thing that will satisfy us. We ask for the grace of the Holy Spirit to see Jesus as worth giving everything up for.

Ultimately, we don’t walk in holiness on our own effort, but because of the blood of Christ. Today we reflect on the reality that Christ has ransomed us from a futile life.

As we walk on our spiritual journeys, we need more of the fear of the Lord so that we can see God and ourselves rightly and walk in righteousness.

Today we are encouraged to be holy as our heavenly Father is holy. This requires recognizing the holiness of God and the reality that we belong to a Holy God.

Continuing in 1 Peter, we are encouraged to walk in obedience considering our calling to set our eyes on Christ. This helps us during lent to walk in childlike obedience.

This week we dive into 1 Peter 1 and we see Peter communicating what the true end and goal of the Christian life is; the revelation of the Jesus who will come again in glory.
