Our God Who Rescues
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Psalm 140, a raw and honest prayer for rescue in the face of violence, evil, and hidden schemes. As David cries out for protection, the hosts explore how the psalm moves from urgent plea to confident trust—reminding us who God is when circumstances feel overwhelming. The conversation highlights God as the strong rescuer, the One who sees hidden traps, opposes pride, and ultimately brings justice to the oppressed. Curtis and Sally discuss the tension between praying for deliverance from enemies and praying in a way that honors God’s justice and glory, drawing connections to Jesus’ call to love and pray for those who persecute us. This episode invites listeners to bring their fears, frustrations, and concerns about evil in the world directly to God—trusting that He sees, He protects, and His plan for justice will prevail. Whether in seasons of peace or turmoil, Psalm 140 reminds us that the godly will dwell in the Lord’s presence, confident in His rescue.

My People Will Again Live Under My Shade
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally conclude the book of Hosea by walking through chapter 14, a powerful invitation to repentance, healing, and restoration. After the warnings and judgment of chapter 13, Hosea 14 offers hope—calling God’s people to return with confession, humility, and renewed trust in the Lord alone. Together, they explore God’s clear instructions for repentance: acknowledging sin, renouncing misplaced trust in idols, power, and self-reliance, and returning to the One who truly saves. Curtis and Sally reflect on God’s promise to heal faithlessness, remove His anger, and restore His people with mercy and unfailing love. The conversation highlights the rich imagery of the chapter—refreshing dew, blossoming lilies, deep roots, spreading branches, shade, fragrance, and fruitfulness—contrasting the dryness and barrenness of life apart from God with the abundant life found in relationship with Him. They discuss how confession restores intimacy with God and how true flourishing comes not from human strength or substitutes for security, but from abiding in the Lord who hears prayers and cares deeply for His people. This episode is an encouragement to anyone seeking restoration: a reminder that God eagerly welcomes the repentant, offers healing and renewal, and provides the shade under which His people can once again live, grow, and bear fruit.

Search My Heart

Search My Heart
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Psalm 139, a deeply personal prayer that invites God to search, know, and lead the human heart. Together, they walk through David’s words that proclaim God’s complete knowledge of us, His constant presence, and His intimate role as Creator—knitting us together even in the hidden darkness of the womb. The conversation explores the tension within the psalm: the impossibility of hiding from God, paired with the profound comfort of knowing we are never lost or abandoned by Him. Curtis frames Psalm 139 as a prayer of discipleship—an ongoing posture of surrender where God examines, corrects, and shapes us into who we were created to be. Sally highlights the imagery of darkness and seclusion, showing how places we often fear or avoid are revealed as spaces where God is already at work, guiding and sustaining us. The episode also wrestles honestly with the psalm’s challenging verses about enemies and hatred, noting how David ultimately turns his anxious and conflicted thoughts back over to God. Rather than resolving tension through human strength or intellect, Psalm 139 models bringing fear, anger, and uncertainty before the Lord and trusting Him to lead the way forward. As the episode closes, Curtis and Sally emphasize that spiritual growth is a continuous process—one marked by testing, failure, and grace—and that true resolution and peace come not from endlessly replaying our worries, but from submitting them to God in prayer. This episode invites listeners to make David’s closing words their own: “Search me, O God… and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”

Dust in the Wind

Dust in the Wind
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis explore Hosea 13, a powerful chapter that highlights the culmination of Israel’s long pattern of unfaithfulness. Building on chapter 12’s warnings, Hosea 13 opens with a sobering reminder that Ephraim—once a tribe whose words carried weight and inspired fear—has now fallen into idolatry and self-reliance, sealing its own destruction. Through vivid imagery of mist, chaff, and smoke, God reveals how fleeting the nation’s strength has become apart from Him. Sally and Curtis reflect on the themes of misplaced trust, forgotten dependence, and misused influence. They discuss how Israel’s prosperity led them to pride, causing them to forget the Lord who provided for them in the wilderness. Curtis draws attention to the responsibility that comes with influence, while Sally highlights the warning embedded in Israel’s story: when comfort replaces devotion, hearts drift. Even as the chapter describes fierce judgment, the conversation emphasizes God’s patience, His desire for His people to return, and the hope that ultimately finds its fulfillment in Christ. The episode closes by pointing forward to the restoration promised in Hosea 14 and with Paul’s triumphant reminder from 1 Corinthians that through Jesus, God brings victory over sin and death.

A Psalm of David

A Psalm of David
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on David’s heartfelt praise in Psalm 138, a song filled with gratitude, trust, and confidence in God’s unfailing love. Together they explore how David’s worship—offered “with all his heart”—reminds us that God’s promises are backed by the full honor of His name, giving us assurance even when circumstances remain unchanged. The conversation highlights the comfort of God’s immediate encouragement when we pray, the strength He provides in troubling times, and the promise that He faithfully works out His plans for our lives. Curtis and Sally also discuss the psalm’s forward-looking hope: a future in which all people recognize God’s glory, and how our own testimony becomes a way of praising God before others. Grounded in David’s example and supported by New Testament encouragements, this episode invites listeners to trust deeply, pray continuously, and live as gentle, confident witnesses to God’s goodness.

Hanging Up Our Harps
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Psalm 137, a passage that captures the experience of the Israelites living in exile. The psalm describes their sorrow, their memories of Jerusalem, and the difficulty of singing joyful songs in a place that feels far from home. The conversation explores how the psalmist’s longing for Jerusalem reveals a renewed appreciation for what was lost, as well as the honest emotions that come with hardship—grief, frustration, and the desire for justice. Curtis and Sally discuss the historical context of the Psalm, the role of perspective during challenging seasons, and how these ancient experiences invite us to consider our own responses when life feels unsettled or uncertain. They also reflect on how followers of Christ today can continue to honor God in difficult circumstances, drawing attention to themes of hope, forgiveness, and trusting God’s timing. Even in moments that feel like “exile,” the episode highlights the steady truth that God remains present, just, and faithful. A thoughtful, grounded conversation about remembering where our joy comes from and how to stay connected to God in every season.

The Lord's Judgment and Love for Israel

The Lord's Judgment and Love for Israel
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally explore Hosea chapters 10 and 11—two striking passages that reveal both the severity of God’s judgment and the depth of His enduring love. Hosea paints Israel as a once-fruitful vine whose prosperity led them away from the Lord and deeper into idolatry. Their misplaced trust in altars, idols, and military strength exposes a hardened spiritual landscape in need of breaking up and renewal. Yet woven through the warnings is a tender reminder of God’s fatherly compassion. As Hosea recounts, God taught Israel to walk, lifted the yoke from their neck, and cared for them with kindness—even as they drifted further from Him. In chapter 11, we hear God’s heart break as He refuses to abandon His people completely: “How can I give you up, Israel?” Instead, He promises a future restoration, a gathering of His people when He roars like a lion calling them home. Curtis and Sally reflect on the themes of spiritual sowing and reaping, the danger of misplaced trust, and the hope found in God’s persistent love. Drawing connections to Galatians and the teachings of Jesus, they invite listeners to consider the call to surrender, to cultivate righteousness, and to trust the One who leads with both justice and compassion.

Hosea Announces Israel’s Punishment

Hosea Announces Israel’s Punishment
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally read Hosea chapter 9 and reflect on the painful consequences of Israel’s unfaithfulness to God. As Hosea announces the nation’s coming punishment, the chapter reveals both the grief and justice of God—how His love has been betrayed by those who turned to idols and false gods. Israel’s worship has become distorted, their festivals corrupted, and their trust misplaced in fertility gods that cannot bless or sustain them. Curtis and Sally discuss how God’s judgment in this passage is not arbitrary but the natural result of Israel’s choices. When they reject His covenant, He allows them to experience the emptiness of what they have chosen. Yet even in these harsh words, the story reminds listeners that God’s discipline flows from love—a desire to bring His people back to truth and life. Drawing parallels to today, the hosts explore how humanity still resists God’s correction and dismisses His messengers as “fools.” Following Jesus means humbly listening, turning back when corrected, and surrendering self-made paths to walk in His way. Though Hosea 9 speaks of rejection, it ultimately points toward restoration—when “not loved” will once again become “the ones I love.”

The Whirlwind

The Whirlwind
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis read Hosea chapter 8, where the prophet declares that Israel has “planted the wind and will harvest the whirlwind.” Through Hosea’s message, God warns His people that their idolatry, self-appointed kings, and misplaced alliances will lead to destruction. Israel has built altars meant to remove sin, yet those very altars have become places of sin. They’ve forgotten their Maker and trusted in their own strength, seeking security in palaces, fortified cities, and foreign powers instead of the Lord. As Sally and Curtis reflect, this passage reveals the danger of turning to anything other than God for hope and stability. Like Israel, we may strive to secure life through our own works or alliances, but these efforts are fruitless apart from the Lord. Curtis draws a parallel to modern faith, noting how our attempts at righteousness can drift into legalism when we depend on our own strength rather than Christ’s finished work. Sally reminds us that life and fruitfulness come only from seeking God first—echoing Matthew 6:33: “Seek the kingdom of God above all else…” Even amid judgment, there is grace. God still sends warnings—signs of His steadfast love calling us back to Him. As the hosts conclude, the true hope of this chapter is not in avoiding discipline but in trusting the Maker who loves, warns, and redeems His people.

Praise The Lord!
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally read and reflect on Psalm 135—a song of worship that calls all who serve the Lord to praise Him for His goodness, power, and enduring love. From creation to deliverance, the psalm recounts God’s mighty works, contrasting His living presence with the lifeless idols made by human hands. Curtis shares how the psalm’s repeated invitation to “praise the Lord” reminds us to glorify God in every circumstance—remembering His faithfulness through all generations. Sally explores the deep contrast between a living relationship with the Creator and the emptiness of false treasures that cannot see, speak, or hear. Together, they reflect on how God’s Spirit continually reminds us of His justice, compassion, and the victories He brings even when we don’t yet see them. Psalm 135 reminds us that God’s name endures forever, His compassion reaches His servants, and His justice is sure. Through praise and remembrance, we draw near to the living God who reigns with power and love across all time.

Israel’s Love for Wickedness
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally explore Hosea chapter 7—a sobering look at Israel’s rebellion and God’s grieving heart. The Lord longs to heal His people, yet their sins run deep. They’ve become unaware of their spiritual decay, chasing foreign gods and trusting in human power instead of turning back to Him. Through vivid metaphors—an overheated oven, a half-baked cake, a witless dove, and a crooked bow—Hosea exposes how misplaced passions and pride have made the people useless to God’s purpose. Curtis and Sally reflect on the Lord’s perspective: He sees everything, hears every silence, and still desires restoration. Their discussion highlights the tragic blindness of those who seek fulfillment apart from God and the enduring mercy of a Creator who continues to call His people back. As the hosts connect Hosea’s imagery to the human condition today, listeners are reminded that true wisdom, strength, and renewal come only from turning fully to the Lord who longs to heal and redeem.

As pilgrims arrive in Jerusalem, they call on those serving in the temple—especially those keeping the night watch—to lift their hands and praise the Lord. Together, they explore the beauty of worship that involves not just our voices but our whole selves, and how both travelers and temple servants encourage one another in unity. The discussion highlights the challenges of serving in unseen or difficult circumstances, the reminder that God always sees and knows, and the promise of blessing from the Lord who made heaven and earth.

A Call to Repentance
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Hosea chapter 6, a passage titled A Call to Repentance. Hosea invites the people to return to the Lord with the assurance that God will respond as surely as the dawn breaks and the spring rains fall. Yet the chapter also reveals God’s grief over Israel and Judah’s fleeting devotion—love that evaporates like morning mist. The discussion explores God’s heart for relationship over ritual, emphasizing that He desires love and obedience rather than empty sacrifices. Curtis and Sally connect Hosea’s message to Jesus’ words in Matthew 9, where He calls for mercy instead of ritual offerings, reminding us that God has always sought hearts that truly know Him. They also consider the cost of discipleship: being vulnerable before God, allowing His Word to cut to the heart, and engaging deeply in scripture, prayer, and community. Amid judgment, Hosea points to God’s enduring desire to heal, restore, and make His people whole. The episode closes with the reminder that obedience and love are greater than any outward act of sacrifice, and that God’s promises of renewal are as steady as the morning light.

Harmony
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on Psalm 133 and its powerful imagery of harmony. David compares unity among God’s people to the anointing oil flowing over Aaron and the refreshing dew of Mount Hermon—both symbols of blessing and life. Together, Sally and Curtis explore how true harmony cannot be manufactured by individual effort but comes from God’s Spirit, covering us like oil and refreshing us like dew. They discuss the rarity and preciousness of harmony, connecting it to Paul’s call in Philippians 2 to live with humility, put aside selfishness, and consider the needs of others. Harmony, they note, is not just pleasant but eternal—pointing us toward the blessing of life everlasting. Through stories, analogies, and Scripture, this conversation reminds us that when we live in God’s truth and love, we join in the beautiful, Spirit-led symphony of unity that reflects Christ’s character and promises life both now and forever.

The Failure of Israel’s Leaders
In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Hosea chapter 5, a sobering passage that exposes the failure of Israel’s priests and leaders. The text reveals how arrogance, idolatry, and misplaced trust in foreign powers led God’s people into spiritual ruin. Despite their sacrifices, the Lord had withdrawn, leaving them to experience the consequences of their rebellion. Curtis and Sally discuss how this chapter shows the depth of Israel’s brokenness—their deeds would not allow them to return to God without His intervention. They explore how God’s judgment, though severe, carries the promise of restoration when His people confess their guilt and earnestly seek Him again. Drawing connections to Jesus’ teachings, they reflect on the cost of discipleship, the danger of idolatry in modern life, and the enduring call to repent and turn back to the Lord. Even in the midst of judgment, Hosea 5 reminds us of God’s steadfast desire to be known by His people and His readiness to heal and redeem those who humbly return to Him.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Psalm 132, a psalm that recalls God’s promises to David and His desire to dwell among His people. Together they trace the psalm’s echoes of David’s devotion, Solomon’s prayer, and ultimately the eternal fulfillment found in Jesus—the true anointed King from David’s line. The conversation explores the tension between human longing to build a place for God and God’s deeper desire for relationship with His people. They discuss the psalm’s reminder to remain faithful to God’s calling, to remember His promises, and to find strength not in work or blessings but in abiding in His presence. From David’s restless pursuit to build a house for the Lord, to God’s declaration of Jerusalem as His eternal resting place, the episode highlights the unshakable covenant that points to Christ, the worthy One who reigns forever. Listeners are encouraged to see God’s heart not as seeking labor or ritual but as longing for communion—an invitation to dwell with Him, receive His strength, and rest in His faithful promises.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis reflect on Psalm 131, a short but powerful psalm about humility, trust, and finding true peace in God. David reminds us not to trouble ourselves with matters beyond our understanding but instead to rest in the Lord with childlike faith. The conversation explores how humility allows us to release pride, entrust the unknown to God, and experience the calm of His presence. Like a weaned child who no longer cries for comfort, we can mature in our faith by finding contentment and security in the Lord rather than in circumstances or other people. Drawing connections to Hebrews 6 and Proverbs 11, this discussion highlights the anchor of hope God provides and the wisdom that comes through humility.

Together, they explore how this passage reveals the depth of God’s commitment to Israel despite betrayal and idolatry, and how it points forward to His covenant of love fulfilled in Christ. The conversation highlights how true love is rooted in relationship and care rather than physical desire, and how God’s unconditional love calls us to extend grace to others who may not meet our expectations. Curtis and Sally also challenge listeners to consider where they may be seeking peace, security, or identity outside of God, and remind us that our calling as followers of Christ is to shine His light and embody His love to all people. The episode closes with a look at God’s promise that, in the last days, people will tremble in awe of His goodness, recognizing Him alone as the true source of life and hope.

They reflect on the difference between a lifeless house and a love-filled home, emphasizing that true value and blessing come only when God is at the center of our work, our provision, and our security. Drawing connections to Ecclesiastes and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, they discuss the futility of striving in our own strength, the peace that comes from trusting God, and the rest He gives to His beloved. The conversation also celebrates the gift of children as a tangible expression of God’s life-giving work, pointing to the deeper truth that all creation flourishes when rooted in His presence.

Ahaz Imitates Assyria
In this episode of Arise+Abide, Curtis and Sally explore 2 Kings 16:10-18 and 2 Chronicles 28:16-25, tracing the tragic reign of King Ahaz of Judah. Faced with military threats from Israel, Syria, Edom, and the Philistines, Ahaz turns not to the Lord but to Assyria for help—paying tribute with treasures from the Temple and even remodeling Judah’s worship to imitate pagan practices. Instead of rescue, Assyria brings further oppression, and Ahaz sinks deeper into idolatry, closing the Temple and filling the land with altars to false gods. Curtis and Sally reflect on how Ahaz’s decisions reveal a familiar human pattern: seeking success by imitating worldly power, trusting in human alliances instead of God, and hardening the heart when things go wrong. They contrast this with the call of Christ’s kingdom, where true greatness comes through servanthood and trust in the Lord. The conversation challenges listeners to examine where they place their hope, to repent when tempted to rely on their own understanding, and to remember that ultimate victory belongs to God alone.

In this episode, Curtis and Sally reflect on Psalm 126, a song that captures the surreal joy of restoration after a long season of sorrow and waiting. Described as a dream fulfilled, this psalm celebrates God's faithfulness in bringing His people home, prompting laughter, singing, and praise—not only from His people but also from the watching world. Curtis shares how moments of joy, like graduations or major life milestones, can feel almost unreal after long anticipation—reminding us of God's perfect timing. Sally highlights the beauty of how God's acts of restoration become testimonies of His goodness to the nations. The hosts draw powerful connections between the psalm’s imagery of planting in tears and harvesting with joy, and Jesus' words in John 4 about the spiritual harvest. Whether we’re sowing seeds or gathering fruit, the work is God's—and both the process and the result can be filled with joy.
