A Conversation on Sensitivity to God's Spirit, the Body of Christ, and False Prophets with Liv DooleyDuring this episode, we discuss the benefits of slowing down to hear from the Lord. As the Scriptures tell us, we serve the God who speaks, the God who leads us into all truth, the God who leads us when we invite Him, too. In a world that is consumed with false prophets (and rightfully so), we have to be concerned about what it takes to learn the voice of the Lord for ourselves. MATTHEW 7:15-20 CSB15 “Be on your guard against false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravaging wolves. 16 You’ll recognize them by their fruit. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 In the same way, every good tree produces good fruit, but a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit; neither can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 Every tree that doesn’t produce good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.RESOURCESGrab My Resource to Shift Your Shallow Bible Study to a Sincere OneConnect with Me on IGFind the Episode on YouTubeSELAH: A STUDY OF 1 AND 2 SAMUELPurchase your copy of Selah: A Study of 1 and 2 Samuel

I know no one may have ever said this to you before, but it's possible that marriage is NOT the answer. 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3-8 CSBFor this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you keep away from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you knows how to control his own body[b] in holiness and honor, 5 not with lustful passions, like the Gentiles, who don’t know God. 6 This means one must not transgress against and take advantage of a brother or sister in this manner, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you. 7 For God has not called us to impurity but to live in holiness. 8 Consequently, anyone who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.RESOURCESGrab Liv's Resource to Shift Your Shallow Bible Study to a Sincere OneConnect with Me on IGFind the Episode on YouTubeSELAH: A STUDY OF 1 AND 2 SAMUELPurchase your copy of Selah: A Study of 1 and 2 Samuel

Slowing down is often associated with complacency, laziness, insecurity, and failure. It can also be mistaken for backtracking, forfeiting, missing out, and regret. However, none of that is actually Biblical.I’ve found so much more joy and peace in the opportunity to slow down than I ever knew possible, and it has changed my life. So we’re talking about it this season. James 1:19-25 CSBMy dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like someone looking at his own face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of person he was. But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer who works—this person will be blessed in what he does.QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER JOURNALING IN PRAYERWhat would you get back if you were to slow down? What might you be able to step into if you were to slow down? Who might you grow closer to If you were to slow down?What prayers might the Lord have room to answer or to show you how He is currently answering if you were to slow down?How many old patterns might He continue to strip away that you know, that He knows that you know are not healthy if you were to slow down?What might He revive? WATCH THIS PODCAST ON YOUTUBEhttps://youtu.be/pUo4_TmGozUSELAH: A STUDY OF 1 AND 2 SAMUELPurchase your copy of Selah: A Study of 1 and 2 SamuelOTHER LINKShttps://livdooley.com/https://www.instagram.com/candidliv/

After she married her college sweetheart, Bryan, she moved him there too. Together, they run a family business and live on a farm with their two children, Will and Kate, and two doodle dogs named Buster and Penny.Rachael spends her days taking care of their farm and home. When she isn’t doing something with or for her family, she loves to get together with friends, cook, take walks, and read Christian nonfiction. Her writing and podcasting journey began when she was sitting in church and saw a love offering envelope in the pew in front of her. She sensed the whispering to her heart that we are his love offerings to the world. So Rachael began having conversations with women who were living faithfully and loving the world around them in practical and tangible ways.Through the conversations she’s had and through her own personal experience, Rachael discovered that many of us don’t believe our contributions or offerings matter. It is Rachael’s hope that this devotional and her ministry can change this narrative. She wants to encourage women to realize their God-given purpose and believe their lives are significant to His kingdom. Because in God’s hands, small acts done with great love can have an enormous impact.Connect with her by visiting rachaelkadams.com, @rachaeladamsauthor on social media, and by tuning in to The Love Offering podcast every Tuesday on your favorite listening platform.RESOURCESPurchase A Little Goes A Long WayConnect with Rachael on IGJoin Liv's Email FamilyConnect with Me on IGGrab Your Copy of Selah hereSELAH: A STUDY OF 1 AND 2 SAMUELPurchase your copy of Selah: A Study of 1 and 2 Samuel
