Rising 365

Episode Title: Love (Genesis 29) | Rising 365In this episode, we dive into Genesis 29 and explore what real love looks like—through the lens of dedication, commitment, and sacrifice. Jacob’s story reminds us that love isn’t just a feeling—it’s something we prove through what we’re willing to give, endure, and pursue.We also reflect on a deeper truth: even when others overlook us or make us feel unseen, God sees us fully. He is able—and willing—to do incredible things through our lives when we choose to trust Him.As we step into Holy Week, we unpack the ultimate picture of love found in Romans 5:8—God’s perfect demonstration of dedication through Jesus. This week is more than a tradition; it’s a powerful reminder of a love that pursued us first.Key Takeaway: Love is not just spoken—it’s shown. And no love has ever been shown greater than what God has done for us.If this message encouraged you, you can go deeper by grabbing a copy of the Rising 365 book.

RISING 365Trust Your GutGenesis 27The light isn’t always what it seems.Genesis 27 draws us into a story filled with tension, manipulation, and quiet betrayal—a father losing his sight, a mother carrying out a calculated plan, one son hesitating, and another receiving a blessing that wasn’t meant for him.But this isn’t just a story about deception. It’s a story about discernment.Isaac sensed something wasn’t right. “The voice is Jacob’s… but the hands are Esau’s.”He paused. He questioned. He felt it.And yet… he overrode that feeling.How often do we do the same?In this episode, we explore the subtle ways deception shows up—not just in others, but within ourselves. We talk about the danger of ignoring that inner warning when something doesn’t sit right, and how emotions, pressure, and familiarity can cloud our ability to discern truth.We also take an honest look at how God continues to work, even through messy and flawed decisions.This episode invites you to reflect on a deeper question: What is God trying to show me that I’m choosing to ignore?Because sometimes the voice sounds right… but something deeper is telling you—it’s not.Trust your gut. But more importantly—train it to recognize truth.If this episode encouraged you, don’t forget to like, share, and follow to help others find hope.
