This week on Stevos Devos, Pastor Kait joins the podcast as we dive into one of the most influential Christian books of the last few decades, Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby and Richard Blackaby. What does it actually mean to experience God? Is it about chasing emotional moments, or is it about recognizing where God is already at work and joining Him? Together, we discuss Blackaby's seven realities of experiencing God, discerning God's voice, obedience, and why following God often requires faith before understanding. Pastor Kait also shares practical insights on recognizing God's activity in everyday life and how believers can grow in a deeper relationship with Christ. Whether you've read Experiencing God or are hearing about it for the first time, this episode will challenge you to move beyond simply knowing about God and begin living a life that responds to where He is already at work. Key Scriptures: John 15:5, John 5:19, Matthew 28:18 to 20, Hebrews 11:6.
In this episode of Stevos Devos, we're reviewing The Blue Parakeet by Scot McKnight, a book that challenges us to rethink the way we read the Bible. Do we approach Scripture looking for verses that support what we already believe, or do we allow God's Word to shape and transform us? Together, we explore McKnight's central ideas about reading the Bible as one unified story, the importance of context, and why difficult passages shouldn't be ignored but embraced as opportunities to know God more deeply. Whether you've read The Blue Parakeet or not, this conversation will encourage you to move beyond simply reading the Bible and toward faithfully living its story. Key Scriptures: Luke 24:27, Hebrews 4:12, Romans 12:2, Acts 17:11.
In this episode, Pastor Adam and Pastor Stephen explore the book of Habakkuk and its powerful message of trusting God in seasons of uncertainty. Together they discuss honest questions, unwavering faith, and what it means to live by faith when life doesn't make sense. Join the conversation as they unpack the hope found in this often-overlooked book of Scripture.
In this episode, Pastor Adam and Pastor Stephen discuss The Narrow Path by Rich Villodas and what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life. Together they explore the challenge and beauty of living according to the way of Christ in a culture that often pulls us in the opposite direction. Join the conversation as they unpack practical wisdom for walking the narrow path.
Why does God's Word matter so much? In this episode, Pastor Adam and Pastor Stephen unpack the beauty and depth of Psalm 119, exploring its call to delight in God's Word, trust His promises, and remain faithful in every season of life. Join the conversation as they discuss how Scripture shapes our hearts, guides our decisions, and draws us closer to Christ in our everyday lives.
What are you reading this week? Today, we’re diving into C.S. Lewis’s classic, The Screwtape Letters, to expose the enemy’s quietest strategy: the slow, comfortable drift away from God. We unpack the "Coles Notes" of the book and confront the dangerous illusion of the "spiritual fence." In a culture that praises neutrality, we look at why there is no middle ground in the Kingdom—because the fence belongs to the devil. Pulling in insights from John Lennox and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we anchor the conversation in Jesus’s ultimate warning: you cannot serve two masters. Are you actively pursuing God, or just comfortably drifting? Let's get off the fence. Scripture Mentioned: Matthew 6:24, Revelation 3:15-16 Books Mentioned: The Screwtape Letters & Mere Christianity (C.S. Lewis) Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share!
If God is sovereign, why do we suffer? In this episode, Pastor Adam and Pastor Stephen tackle one of the hardest questions Christians face. Together, they explore what the Bible teaches about God's sovereignty, the reality of suffering, and how believers can find hope and purpose in the midst of pain. Whether you're walking through a difficult season or wrestling with tough theological questions, this conversation offers biblical insight and encouragement for trusting God when life doesn't make sense.
In Episode 1, Pastor Adam and Pastor Stephen dive into the story of the Rich Young Ruler and explore how it connects to The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis. Together, they unpack the tension between following Jesus and holding onto the things we value most. What keeps people from fully surrendering to God? What are we unwilling to let go of? Through Scripture, conversation, and practical insight, this episode challenges listeners to examine their hearts and consider what true discipleship really looks like.
