The most important feature of anything that is built is the foundation. The health, stability, strength and integrity fully depend on having a foundation that is prepared to stand the test of time. Nicole Theis, founder and president of Delaware Family Policy Council (DFPC) is our special guest today as she shares about how the team at DFPC works daily to equip and embolden Christ followers in Delaware to take action to advance, defend, and intentionally preserve foundations of faith, family, and freedom in all the arenas that shape the culture.

Can we live life to the full when we find ourselves in an unexpected season? Psalm 1 talks about living planted by the rivers of life. This spiritual analogy shows the truth that our roots need to go deep into the Word if we want to bear fruit, but what about when we are no longer ‘planted by the river’ we used to be planted by in our past season? Using the lemon tree as an analogy, Debbie and Laura discuss how to steward these seasons.

We often talk about how hard it is to be in the middle of a season, but another significant challenge takes place when a season ends leaving you feeling empty and out of place. Looking at the life of Jesus today, we discuss today the correct way to respond and how to steward the journey out of the season you are in.

We have a special guest joining Debbie and Laura today on Beyond the Building to walk us through Psalm 23 where we see the Good Shepherd’s presence and His strategic plan unfolding in our lives in the different seasons we might find ourselves. You can learn more about Valerie by visiting her website You Can Know Ministries with Valerie George.

Join Laura and Debbie as they begin their April podcast series called, “Seasons”. This week we focus on the important reminder in the Word of God that we are to steward well every moment we are in…in every season. We should practice being present in the moment rather than wishing we were in the next season.

Any God-given dream will come with resistance. This week, Debbie and Laura look at Joseph’s journey in Genesis 37-41 to see that while we may have resistance in our circumstances, from other people and in our own hearts to the dream God has given, nothing can stop what God has planned. Be encouraged today if you are feeling resistance to your dream. It is actually evidence that God is on the move!

Join Debbie and Laura as they jump into an Old Testament great whose nickname in some circles was Joseph the Dreamer. Genesis 37 will be the main text of study as we take a look at the early dreams of Joseph and discuss the importance of using wisdom in who we share our dreams with and the timing of sharing.

Ever wonder what the difference is between a calling from God and dream from God? This week, Jenna Nicholson and Zoe Morris, the worship duo Jenna and Zoe, share an understanding of this distinction. Their testimonies will encourage your faith and spur you on to live out what God has called you to do while you trust God with the dream He has given.
