For a few brief strokes of a pen, a signature carries a lot of weight in human society. Before pens were a readily available tool, people used stamps for the same purpose. Those stamps are called seals (nowadays you can pick up all sorts of cute wax seals for adding that olde worlde touch to your scrapbook, wedding invitations, or greeting cards). Did you know that some key verses in the Bible tell us that, as believers, need to be sealed, too? But what on earth does that mean, and how (without enlisting the aid of hot wax and an enthusiastic friend) can we be sure that we are actually sealed?Join Nikki and our team over at https://as-it-is-in-heaven.com for a closer look at this important topic!

The word meditation is inexorably linked to ideas of far eastern mysticism and new age spiritual practice, but as early as the time of Isaac (Gen 24:63), the Bible tells us that God's people have been meditating. So, how does one meditate on God's word?

In this week's episode, Jayden takes a look at the offensive weapons mentioned in Ephesians 6:16-17 as part of our series on the Armor of God.

In the wake of tragedy, it can be really difficult to reconcile the hope we have in our faith with the hopelessness and powerlessness we feel. But even there, in the darkness, God is reaching out His hand to us, offering us truth and life. Granted, neither of those things can really make us feel better in the moment - but with understanding, there is something more profound than comfort to be found: hope. Join Nikki and our team over at https://as-it-is-in-heaven.com as they take a closer look at what's in the word for times of tragedy.
