Wider Lens with Dr. Kim Kimberling

Welcome to the very first episode of Wider Lens, a brand new podcast that allows me to go broader than the topic of marriage. To kick it off, we are interviewing Mr. Joshua Ryan Butler to discuss his new book. .  In this episode, we explore what it really means to receive from Jesus instead of striving on our own.

Together we wrestle with why we resist His help, how to cultivate spiritual...

This is such an incredible conversation to wrap up our Fridays in the Fall, Wider Lens series. Jerry Flowers is bringing encouragement about the patterns of your life and posture of your heart as we talk through his new book Heart Rehab: Finding the You God Created You to Be. Lean into the discomfort, create disciplines for preparedness, and surrender your need for control in order to step into your true calling as a son or daughter of the Lord Almighty. He loves you, he is for you, and we can trust him with our hearts!

 

Episode Highlights:

Stop blaming everyone else. Take time for self reflection. 

If we invite God in, He can use all seasons for our good and growth.

Intimacy with the Lord allows us to grow into the people God created us to be. 

Discipline and preparation go hand in hand. The more disciplined you are, the more prepared you are for what God has next. 

Culture influences us to mislabel our fears, thoughts and anxieties. Make sure you are labeling them correctly.

Strong core beliefs help us combat the lies of society and satan.

 

Quotes from Today’s Episode:

I recognize many times, our placement in life isn't just because of problems, it's because of patterns. -Jerry Flowers

Patterns reveal character. -Jerry Flowers

Patterns are one of the ushers to certain seasons. -Jerry Flowers

We want to blame the enemy, but we have to look at ourselves too. -Jerry Flowers

Be aware of the enemy, for sure. But I think sometimes that keeps us from taking responsibility for our part. -Jerry Flowers

It may not make sense right then, but later it’ll make sense. -Jerry Flowers

I see things that God put me through, before we got married, that helped me when I got married. -Dr. Kim

We want to be whole enough where the Lord can pour into us and we can pour back out.- Jerry Flowers

If you want results, you lean into discomfort.- Jerry Flowers

What changed for me is realizing that my mind can lie to me. -Jerry Flowers



A Wider Lens: Questions for Self Reflection

  1. Look at your daily life and identify one unhealthy pattern you’ve grown comfortable with.

  2. What one discipline could you start practicing to combat this pattern and prepare for what God has next?

  3. Identify an area of your life you haven’t fully surrendered to the Lord. Choose a Scripture verse to meditate on as you commit to trusting Him completely.
