Set Apart Podcast

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series by diving into Proverbs 31. As modern women we can often feel unhealthy pressure when we encounter this portion of Scripture. But when we understand what Proverbs 31 is really about, it can completely change our mindset. In this episode, Leslie unpacks Biblical keys to understanding Proverbs 31 not as a standard to rise up to, but as a promise to stand upon. She offers practical ways to lean on the supernatural enabling strength of God to live out the seemingly impossible calling upon our lives as daughters of the King.

As part of the Steadfast Heart series, Leslie unpacks a little-known secret to emotional health - living for God's glory instead of for ourselves. While it seems counter-intuitive, when we choose to get out of the way so that Jesus can be seen through our lives, we experience lasting joy and peace. There is tremendous emotional freedom that comes from choosing to step out of the way, so that Jesus can clearly be seen in and through us - just as John the Baptist did when he said "I must decrease, but He must increase." (John 3:30) When we fix our gaze on Jesus and let others follow our gaze upwards, we will experience a soul-level emotional peace that can never be found in focusing on ourselves.

Leslie continues the Steadfast Heart series with a powerful look at what it means to seek the right comfort - God's comfort - when we are hurting or struggling. There are many forms of counterfeit comfort in our culture that may provide temporary distraction, but won't truly heal us at the soul-level. In this episode, Leslie offers Biblical keys to experiencing the lasting healing that comes from the God of all comfort, and offers practical ways to keep our emotions grounded in Him even in the hardest of times.
