11
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Say the Bible. I'm your host, Nicole Unis, and I

12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: am so glad to welcome you to twenty twenty six.

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 2: Here we are another year, another year on the podcast,

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: really looking forward to what God has for us, where

15
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: He's going to take us together this year. So if

16
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: you're new with us, if you're just discovering this podcast,

17
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: we're so glad that you're here. Each and every week

18
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: we look at a passage of scripture and we just

19
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: ask questions together to discover what God has to say

20
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: to us. And I think what we find over the

21
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: weeks as we just continue to take on a steady

22
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: diet of listening to God's word and asking him to

23
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: speak to us. What we discover is that with a

24
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: little bit of work, with a little bit of intention,

25
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 2: we are able to actually experience how real and relevant

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 2: God's word is to our life. And that's what we're

27
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: here to do. That's my passion. I'm so glad that

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: I get to share it with you and that we

29
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: can journey together. So as we enter into this new year,

30
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: we as a community are taking the entire month of

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: January to reflect on the year before and to respond

32
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: and reconnect with what God has for us in this

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: year to come. So what we're doing here, what we've done,

34
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: we did a couple of years ago and it was

35
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: very You guys really told me you really enjoyed it

36
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: and appreciated it. Is that I spent the last couple

37
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: of weeks really praying and asking God, where are you

38
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: leading us as a people? Where are you leading your people?

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: What are some of the challenges that we see in

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: the world, and how are you asking us to respond

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: to those challenges? And in doing that, I have six

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: words that I would call spiritual intentions, ways that you

43
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 2: could think about how God might be growing you this

44
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: year that I want to offer to you alongside of

45
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: some scripture and some characters in the Bible that I

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: think really represent that spiritual intention. So over the whole month,

47
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: we are going to be looking at those six words. Now,

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 2: the idea here is that perhaps God is going to

49
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: draw your heart toward one of those words. You're going

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: to reflect back on twenty twenty five and you're going

51
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: to say, Wow, there's ways and things that I think

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: God's inviting me to grow in, and this word really

53
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: resonates with me, and I'm going to capture that. I'm

54
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: going to take that on and if so, great, that's awesome.

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: Can't wait to hear from you about that. I'll share

56
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: with you the word that God is put on my heart,

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: and we are going to then have a year together

58
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: of like, Okay, this is the way that I'm paying

59
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: attention to how God is inviting me to grow in

60
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 2: this way. Now. Of course, these six words are not

61
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: any more gospel true than anything else in the Gospel.

62
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: These six words are not the only six words that

63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: God could possibly be using in your life, of course,

64
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: But I did want to give you some frameworks a

65
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: place to start. And I do believe that God in

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: his spirit like works through a people group, and we face,

67
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes very similar challenges in our world and

68
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: in those different periods of time, I believe that God

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: is calling us to more courage, more confidence, more faith,

70
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: whatever that thing is. So I do think that we

71
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 2: can also have collective experiences where God's inviting us to grow.

72
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: So what I want to do here on this first

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: podcast of the year is just kind of review how

74
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: we might go about spending a month being very intentional

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: to listen to God. And then from there I'll share

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: what words we're going to be looking at and how

77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: we're going to go from here, and then each week

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: for the rest of the month, the next three podcasts,

79
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: we'll focus on two words per podcast. So I'm going

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: to share with those words with you in just a moment,

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: So if you're ready and you want to just take

82
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: a deep breath and relax, I'm going to share with

83
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: you first from Philippians One. I thought it would be

84
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: great because our focus is always on what God has

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: to say to us. To look at the way that

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: the Apostle Paul opens the Letter of Philippians, and I

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: just want to invite you to listen to this letter,

88
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: which it is just words written to us to encourage us.

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: And just imagine this being written to you right now.

90
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: You just you know, maybe you got Christmas cards in

91
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: the mail this year. I want you to imagine as

92
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: if you got a Christmas card from the Apostle Paul.

93
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: He knows you, and he's writing directly to you into

94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: your community. Let's just imagine together, and I want you

95
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: to imagine receiving these words. Dear friend, I thank my

96
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: God every time I remember you. In all my prayers

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: for all of you, I always pray with you joy

98
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: because of your partnership in the Gospel from the first

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 2: day until now, being confident of this that He who

100
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: began a good work in you will carry it on

101
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. It is

102
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: right for me to feel this way about all of you,

103
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: since I have you in my heart, and whether I

104
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: am in chains or defending and confirming the Gospel, all

105
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 2: of you share in God's grace with me. God can

106
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 2: testify how I long for all of you with the

107
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: affection of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer that

108
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: your love may abound more and more in knowledge and

109
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: depth of insight, so that you may be able to

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: discern what is best, and you may be pure and

111
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit

112
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory

113
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: and praise of God. This is God's word. This was

114
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: Philippians one, verses three through eleven. But as we hear

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: it and experience it as a letter, what do you

116
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: notice here in this letter? There's quite a few things

117
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: that stand out for me, of course, because I've been

118
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: thinking about this and praying about it for a while.

119
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: The word that jumps right out at me is this

120
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: idea that we can have confidence, that there is a

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: confidence available to us, and that confidence is actually that

122
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: we will be growing, that he and that he hears Jesus,

123
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: that Jesus, who began a good work in you, will

124
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: carry it on to completion until he returns. And there

125
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: is a sense of okay, there's a confidence that comes

126
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: from something outside of our own strength. But there is

127
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: also a reality that when we pay attention to what

128
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: is happening outside of our own strength, we are changing,

129
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: we are growing, we are becoming more and more. Now,

130
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: this is a very important concept that we want to

131
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: pick up here, that we can I feel like I

132
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 2: can never overestimate or never speak about enough, which is

133
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: the idea that it is by grace that we are saved,

134
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: meaning there is nothing that you're bringing to the table

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: that is making you worthy of the love of God.

136
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: There's nothing that you can do to earn your way

137
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: into the right standing with God. That it's absolutely one

138
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: hundred percent because of Christ's love and grace that we

139
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: can experience right standing with God. That we are identified

140
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: as sons and daughters of God, that we have a

141
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: secure identity that can never be taken from us, That

142
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: we have a secure position with God in which He

143
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 2: experiences us through Christ righteousness and brings us his everlasting

144
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: love and faithfulness and compassion. And we have that. So

145
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 2: we have that, but we also have this opportunity to grow,

146
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: So we don't grow to earn our salvation. We grow

147
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: because of our salvation. And this is capturing that idea

148
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: here in this really enthusiastic letter that Paul is writing, saying, Hey,

149
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: I am feeling this way about you. I'm feeling so

150
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: good about our partnership because I know that there's good

151
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: work happening in you, and I am praying that over

152
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: this period of time as he writes this letter right

153
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 2: and for our purposes over this year twenty five twenty six,

154
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: that we can have a really clear direction that God

155
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: is always inviting us to experience more of His love,

156
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: and that by experiencing more of His love we will

157
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: grow in knowledge. We will grow an insight, which of course,

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: insight is our ability to rightly interpret the world. Right,

159
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 2: we're going to be able to grow in discernment. We

160
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: are going to be filled with the fruit of righteousness

161
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: that comes through Jesus Christ. So we're not doing these

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: things to prove that we're good Christians. We're not doing

163
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: these things to prove that we deserve our salvation. We

164
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: do these things as a response to all of that,

165
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: Like we've been lavished with all of this love and

166
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: compassion and all of this grace, and then we respond

167
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: to all of that love and grace with a desire

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: to pass that love on in a more pure way

169
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: through our year. So we can think about how God

170
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: might be growing us spiritually without condemnation, without judgment. We

171
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: don't have to like beat ourselves over the head with

172
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 2: it and kind of rehash all the ways that we

173
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: failed in the last year. That's not what this is

174
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: about at all. This is actually about saying, Oh, God,

175
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: you're always doing something in me. You're always desiring that

176
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 2: I might know more of your love, that I might

177
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: abound more in your love, that I would have deeper discernment,

178
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: and that frankly, I would become more and more like Christ. Okay, God,

179
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: how are you inviting me into that in this year?

180
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: So with that question in mind, how are you inviting

181
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 2: me into ways that you're growing me to be more

182
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: like Jesus this year? With that question in your mind,

183
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: I've put together just a way for you to think

184
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 2: through that over the next month. This is an invitation,

185
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: this is not a demand, but if you would like

186
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: to join us in really allowing this month to be

187
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: a month of discernment where you say, God, I want

188
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: to reflect back on twenty twenty five and I want

189
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: to look ahead to twenty twenty six. I want to

190
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: ask you what you might be drawing me to. I

191
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 2: put together just a very easy guide for you. It's

192
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: at Nicole Yunis dot com slash New Year. You can

193
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: grab that downloadable guide. It helps you think through ways

194
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: that you might think about twenty twenty five as we

195
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 2: enter into twenty twenty six, and within that I also

196
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: then give you these six invitations, six words to consider

197
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: that God might be calling you to this year, and

198
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: I would encourage you. Maybe one's going to jump right

199
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: out at you right away, but I would encourage you

200
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: to just take time over the next few weeks and

201
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: just let some thoughts marinate and see what God leads

202
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: you to. I'm going to give you a key verse

203
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: and a story and a quote for each of these words,

204
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: and so over the next three weeks we'll get into

205
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: each of those words. You'll get to hear a little

206
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,479
Speaker 2: bit more. But without further ado, here are the invitations

207
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: for twenty twenty six. The first word that you already

208
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: probably got a hint on is confident, and the key

209
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: verse here is going to be this one from Philippians one,

210
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: where I am confident of this that he who began

211
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: a good world or you will carry it on to

212
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: completion until the day of Christ to Jesus. The first

213
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: invitation is God calling you to be confident, not in

214
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: yourself but in Him. The second word that comes to

215
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: mind for us as we think about how we explore

216
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six is going to be grateful. Now the

217
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: word grateful. The definition I have under there is I

218
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: choose to be content and compassionate. Content and compassionate. And

219
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: the idea here would be from the key verse one

220
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: Thessalonians five sixteen, to give thanks in all circumstances. And

221
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 2: we'll talk a little bit more about that in the

222
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: coming weeks. The next word that I have for you

223
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: is diligent. Diligent is I am focused on purpose. I

224
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: am persevering in what God has called me to do.

225
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 2: The key verse here will be Galatians six'. Nine let

226
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: us not grow weary in doing. Good the next WORD

227
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: i have for you is. Peaceful the DEFINITION i have

228
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: here IS i can access in or calm in any.

229
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: Situation and this concept is going to come from the

230
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: key verse will be for Us john fourteen twenty, Seven my,

231
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: PIECE i leave you my. PIECE i give. You the

232
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 2: next word we have maybe a little bit, unexpected and

233
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: this word is. Enthusiastic. ENTHUSIASTIC i live in hopeful, expectancy
