Episode 69 - Stephanie takes us deep into two very, maybe overly familiar stories: the bleeding woman Jesus heals, and the young daughter Jesus resurrects. And yet today, we invite you to discover new flavors in this "common" recipe. We dive deep in the meaning of the 12 years, and the tassels on Jesus' garment, the famous "tzitzits." We discover the deeper meaning of the prayer shawl He wore, and the color of the Throne Room of Heaven. It has to do with being seen, and never invisible to the God who loves us personally, and fiercely.

This is 2021. What does this year hold for us? Are you daring to hope, like you did maybe as 2020 was still young? Or, are you taking the cynical stance to wait and see? Either way, Jesus is the rock-solid foundation. He still heals, and He can definitely resurrect dead dreams and passions. He is the Transfigured One, whose glory was revealed to those who had eyes to see, fully known and perfectly loved. Do you believe you are fully known, and perfectly loved by Christ, even in 2021?

Did you know there is a powerful link between the bleeding woman’s encounter with Jesus, and the transfiguration Luke places just afterwards? It’s part of our 2021 narrative, too. And it has to do, of all things, with the meaning of the name, Judah.

Take a listen today to start off 2021 steeped in Scripture—and in God’s revealed purpose for YOU!

Celebrating all fathers and men in our lives! Go to gospelspice.com/father to sign up for a gorgeous, Christ-centered, free 4-day email devotional written by the men of Gospel Spice: Donald E, Ohi O,  and Jonah R. Enjoy!

We know how deeply a man’s faith can shape a home, a community, and a legacy. As women of the Gospel Spice family, we want to honor the men who walk in faith—whether they are husbands, fathers, brothers, or friends—by offering a devotional that speaks directly to their journey with Christ.

This four day devotional was created as a heartfelt encouragement from the men of the Gospel Spice family, gifted to uplift other men who are faithfully walking with God. We believe that their quiet strength, their courageous faith, and their pursuit of God’s heart are worth celebrating—and worth strengthening.

We invite you to send this devotional to the men in your life as a simple but meaningful way to say: "Your faith matters. It impacts us more than you know."

BONUS: While this devotional is designed with men in mind, its wisdom and truth are for everyone. 

From our Gospel Spice family to yours, may this devotional be a reminder that faith is powerful, inspiring, and absolutely worth building your life around.
