Delve: Spirit+Truth

#42 Strongholds: Protection or Prison?

In this episode of the Delve Spirit and Truth podcast, Casey and Jenny explore strongholds, particularly why we create them and how to tear them down. They discuss the types of strongholds, including demonic and godly strongholds, and delve into the emotional and psychological needs that often underlie them. The conversation highlights the cycle of addiction and compulsion, and the steps necessary for achieving freedom from these strongholds through spiritual warfare and a renewed thought life. Casey and Jenny emphasize the transformative power of Christ in breaking free from strongholds and the necessity of tearing down negative thought patterns to find true freedom.

#41 Alone, but Not Lonely

In this episode, Casey is joined by Asa Reinke to discuss what it means to be alone without being lonely. Whether in singleness or marriage, loneliness is a divine invitation to make a deep connection with your Creator, the Lover of your soul.  Being alone can be a sacred place of refinement and intimacy with the Lord.  

# 40 Face to Face: Near Death Encounters with God

What happens when we die? Do we cease to exist? Is there a heaven or a hell? Is what the bible says about the One True God factual? Today, Jenny and Casey talk about what thousands of people say happened when they had a near-death experience. These experiences are discussed in a new book called Imagine the God of Heaven by John Burke. You can find out more at https://imagineheaven.net/
 

#39 The Cost of Discipleship

In Luke 14, Jesus makes it clear that following Him comes with a cost. Unfortunately, many Christians today have forgotten or downplayed this reality, letting the fear of others and a desire for comfort take precedence over their devotion to Him. In this episode, Casey challenges us to return to the heart of Jesus—who gave up everything to be with us for eternity. Are we willing to make the same sacrifice for Him? If we are, our hearts will discover the fulfillment they’ve been longing for.

#38 The Cost of Grace

In this episode, Casey delves into what scripture says about grace. Some believe it has to be earned through works. Others cheapen grace by living without repentance. Neither is a correct view. A true understanding of grace will lead to a transformed heart, mind, and life.

#37 Activating The Gift of Discernment

In this episode, Jenny talks with author Dawna DeSilva about her book Shifting Atmospheres. It’s a powerful concept that allows you to use discernment to “read” what’s going on in the spiritual realm. Dawna gives practical advice on how to tell if what is taking place in and around you is from God or the enemy. If it is the enemy, it is possible to displace his presence, or "shift the atmosphere," and replace it with the presence of Jesus and His kingdom.

#35 The Great Faith Obstacle

One of the biggest obstacles to building a deeper faith and a closer connection to God is disappointment. Jenny discusses how disappointment can help create false beliefs about ourselves and God that can lead to isolation, bitterness, anger and fear. However, those beliefs can be uprooted by Jesus and replaced with truth, peace, joy and a deeper intimacy with Him. 

#34 What is Biblical Masculinity?

The idea of masculinity has changed throughout the centuries. Casey talks with Jeremy Morris, founder of Wild Courage Ministries, about emotions, courage, and leaving a legacy.

#33 The Messy Middle

We all want a happy ending, but that doesn't always happen. When it doesn't, we may think that our story and testimony can't be helpful to others. However, it's just the opposite. Your Messy Middle is exactly what people need to hear about. We can all use our pain to help others feel known, understood and cared about. Jenny talks with author and television producer Cheryl McKay Price about her story of wrestling with fear, depression, singlehood and infertility. Cheryl turned part of her journey into a tv series called 'These Stones.' You can find out more about Cheryl and her tv series at www.stoneimpactmedia.com.
