He is Enough - finding true contentment in Jesus whether single or married
Leslie continues the He Is series with an inspiring reminder that Jesus is enough to satisfy us at the soul-level, no matter our season of life or circumstances. Many women struggle with finding contentment during singleness, while others feel frustrated and dissatisfied in marriage. It's all too easy to base our happiness on human relationships instead of our relationship with Jesus Christ. While it’s true that God designed us for relationship with others, it is not true that He alone isn’t enough to fulfill us at the deepest level, even if every form of human companionship is stripped away. As Leslie shares in this episode, the entire Bible is a love story — a romance between Jesus Christ and His Bride. Our earthly marriages are meant to showcase the ultimate marriage that we will one day share with Him. But even if we never experience earthly marriage, we can be completely fulfilled by our relationship with Jesus Christ.

He is my Righteousness - overcoming legalism and self-righteousness
Leslie continues the He Is series with a Biblical look at what it means to find our righteousness in Jesus Christ alone. Leslie unpacks the Biblical pattern for being clothed in the righteousness of Christ instead of relying on our own self-effort and human rules to be right with God. She explains that as healthy as personal convictions can be, they must always be an outflow of our love for Jesus Christ, not what we find our hope and identity in. When personal convictions are placed above Christ, they make us susceptible to self-righteousness and spiritual pride. And when that happens we completely miss the miracle of Jesus as our righteousness. This episode reminds us of the importance of abiding in Christ and placing our hope and identity in Him instead of in our own self-righteousness.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

He is my My Wisdom, Part Two: cultivating Biblical discernment
Leslie continues the He Is series with Part Two of her message on walking in the wisdom of Christ. There are many ear-tickling messages in the church today. Often, these ear-tickling messages come in attractive packages. When a little bit of truth is carefully blended with an ear-tickling lie, it’s easy to become convinced that it must be on target, simply because it sounds so pleasant and right. In this episode, Leslie offers practical ways to apply the wisdom of Heaven to new thoughts or ideas that we encounter and cultivate Biblical discernment in our Christian lives. Though there is much confusion in modern Christianity, Jesus has promised that those who seek His wisdom diligently will find it.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.

He is My Wisdom: reasoning according to a Heavenly pattern
Leslie continues the He Is series with an exploration of Jesus as our Wisdom. We often reason according to human logic, but Heavenly wisdom reasons according to an entirely different pattern. The modern Church is filled with subtle error, so we must apply Heavenly wisdom to every message or idea we encounter. As Leslie explains in this episode, Jesus Himself is the Wisdom of God. Knowing Jesus, walking with Him and being rooted in His Word is what equips us to proactively protect our souls against the enemy’s insipid lies and walk in His Heavenly wisdom.For more resources from Leslie, visit https://setapart.org/.
