In Psalm 18, there is consistency in words like rock, fortress, and shield. Emma Dotter & Teegn Sisson unpack how David uses those words to show the protection of God. Not only that, looking at passages through the lens of Christ’s finished work on the cross is called looking at passages “Christologically”. Teegn encourages listeners to re-read the passage with the lens that the deliverance that we are experiencing is from our sin.

Why do our words matter? Why do our words matter? Today, Emma Dotter talks through Psalm 12, where David is crying out to God for help because he sees how people are hurting one another with their words. As Proverbs 18:21 says, the tongue has the power of life and death, which means our words can either tear people down or build them up. Maybe you personally have been hurt by the words of others, whether careless or intentional. We can find hope knowing that God sent His Son, the Word made flesh to dwell among us and bring life abundant to those who trust in Him as Savior and Lord. Take some time to reflect on how Psalm 12 encourages us to be careful with our words. Additional Scripture Referenced: Proverbs 6:16-19, a lying tongue is an abomination to the Lord Proverbs 12:22, “lying lips are detestable to the Lord” John 8:44, the devil “is a liar and the father of lies” Revelation 21:8 Proverbs 18:21, “death and life are in the power of the tongue” Colossians 4:6, “let your speech always be gracious” John 3:16 Proverbs 15:1-2, “a soft answer turns away wrath” John 1:14, “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” Grab a NEW Join The Journey Journal for 2024: https://a.co/d/7rt0H3g Got kids?

The Lord is the one that we have to take refuge in! When Psalms compares the attacks of the enemy to a bow and arrow, what does that mean? Today, Emma Dotter & Watermark Staff Member Tess Brag unpack arrows and the Lord’s being a refuge of the heart. This passage shows that the enemy will come for the hearts of people, and that’s why we must look to God as our refuge. Additional Scriptures used in this passage: Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, this is not your own doing, it is a gift of God, not a result of works so that no man may boast.” John 10:10, “The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy.

How do we practically think about God’s thoughts and ways being higher than ours? Our desire for control can result in us wanting control when in reality, the judgment and control of God is best.

What does the Bible have to say about entitlement? Today, Hannah Staubs is joined by faithful Watermark member Nate Roberts to talk through Job 41 and 42. It’s easy to think that if we obey God, we deserve a good life. Gratitude turns what you have into enough, but entitlement ruins our ability to see God. If our identity is rooted in Christ, we are reminded that our hope is not in worldly things of this life but in eternal life with Christ.

Does our actions have anything to do with the suffering experienced? Is it all random, or is there a cause? Today, Hannah Staubs interviews Watermark staff member, Emily Hope to answer this question.

In Job 31, Emma Dotter & Brent Buuemi ask the question: “How to keep up spiritual morale in dry season.” Brent compares suffering to having our face pressed against stained glass. Oftentimes we see the shattered glass and not the full picture. Brent & Emma talk to both types of listeners: those who have experienced severe suffering, and some maybe haven’t. Brent encourages us to solidify our beliefs before the trial that we experience so that when we are in the trial we are ready. Additional Scripture in this Podcast: Colossians 4:2, “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving…” Proverbs 19:3 “When a man’s folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against the Lord.” John 16:33, “In this world, you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.” 2 Timothy 3:12, “Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,” 1 Peter 4:12, “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange was happening to you.” Daniel 3:18, “But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Hebrews 12:1, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…” Hebrews 4:15, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin…” Grab a NEW Join The Journey Journal for 2024: https://a.co/d/7rt0H3g Got kids?

Suffering is designed by the enemy to destroy our faith, but God’s design for suffering is to strengthen our faith. So how do we have this perspective of suffering? In today’s podcast, Emma Dotter is joined by a faithful Watermark Member George Dalton to unpack this question. George leaves us with this thought, “I welcome the scalpel of the Spirit to continue to cut away the ugly dross in my heart so I can see God and be an effective tool in His hand.” Additional Scriptures in this Podcast: Romans 5:3-5, “Not only that, we rejoice in our suffering, knowing that suffering produces endurance, endurance produces character, produces hope…” Isaiah 48:10, “Behold I have refined you, not as silver, I have tried you in the furnace of affliction.” 1 Corinthians 10:13, “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability…” The book of James: the whole book reminds us of how to respond to suffering. Matthew 5:8, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Grab a NEW Join The Journey Journal for 2024: https://a.co/d/7rt0H3g Got kids?

In Job 29, Job is looking back and remembering his life before all these hard things happened. Sometimes, this is something that we can also do. However, something we see throughout Scripture is that suffering and hardships are what lead to intimate friendship with God. Emma Dotter and faithful Watermark Member Emily Hill unpack these truths and more in today’s Join the Journey Podcast. Additional Scripture in this Podcast: Jeremiah 17:7-8, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream,” James 1:2-4, “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds…” Lamentations 3, You get to see the feeling of God not being there, but the reality that God is there.

How can I fight the enemy with my actions? A common question for Christians, with many different answers. Emma Dotter interviews Lucas Esteves as he gives the listeners what may feel like a simple answer, but if you are willing to truly apply this practice, it can be radical. Lucas says we are simply to “Praise the Lord.” By using additional Scriptures throughout the Bible, Lucas articulates the example of Jesus in praising God amidst all circumstances. Additional Scriptures used in today’s podcast: Matthew 12:33-37, “for out of the abundance of the heart man speaks… I tell you on the day of judgement Matthew 15:11, “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” Job 1:21, “blessed be the name of the Lord…” Job 2:10, “You speak as one of the foolish women would speak Psalm 22:1, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Psalm 103:1-5, “Bless the Lord oh my soul, let all that is within me…” Matthew 27:46, “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, elm sabachthani?’ That is ‘My God, my God why have you forsaken me?’” Grab a Join The Journey Journal through the book of Psalms: https://a.co/d/7rt0H3g Got kids?

How do I have peace when I feel far from God? All of us have a desire to have the answer to this question not only for ourselves, but also to help others. Emma Dotter connects the moon, man, and maggots to how God’s faithful character can give peace in the hardest trials. Additional Scripture in the Podcast: Romans 3:23, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” Gen. 3, Evidence of humanity’s sin. Gen. 1-2, Humans are made in God’s image and therefore have value. Luke 12:7, “Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

Job is asking the exact questions that we may be feeling as we read. Emma Dotter interviews Ben Krejci, a Watermark member and consistent friend of the podcast. Ben articulates two common problems believers can have when trials come: we have a hesitancy to ask God questions, and we have a hesitancy to be frustrated. Job gives us an example of how to disagree with God. Yes you can ask questions, and yes you can be frustrated, but also doing those without sin. Additional Scripture in Podcast: Ecclesiastes 7:15, “There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing.” Psalm 62:8, “Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us.

Why do the wicked prosper? Today, Emma Dotter is joined by faithful Watermark member Casey Uphues to talk through Job 21. When bad things happen, it is easy to wonder why God allows suffering when it seems like everyone else’s life is perfect. God is kind and patient with us as we wrestle through hard questions. Ultimately, God has conquered death and evil through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ.

If I am suffering does that mean I am wicked? Today, Hannah Staubs is joined by fellow Watermark Institute student, Patrick Camp, to talk through Job 20. Patrick explains that our suffering is not always a direct result of our sin, because our sin is paid for either in hell or on the cross. If we are in Christ, our sin has been paid for by Jesus on the cross, and there is no condemnation left for us. SCRIPTURE: Job 4 – Eliphaz’ advice Job 5:17-18 – do not despise the discipline of the Almighty” Job 6: 28-30 – “Is there any wickedness on my lips?” Isaiah 53:5-6 – “He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities” Romans 3:23 – “all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God” Psalm 19:14 – “let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart…” Psalm 51:10 – “create in me a pure heart” LINKS: For more information on Watermark’s College ministry, check out this link: https://www.watermark.org/ministries/college Grab a Join The Journey Journal through the book of Psalms: https://a.co/d/7rt0H3g Got kids?

Can I trust God's sovereignty when I don't see the wicked being punished? Today Emma Dotter is joined by Lauren Fricke as they talk about Job 18.
