QUOTES FROM TODAY’S EPISODE

As He corrects me, He’s bringing me forward.
Shea Watson, The Pantry Podcast, How to Be the Best Disciple

I realized in that moment why I’m so tough on quitting. When I was a kid I was allowed to quit. I had so much anxiety when I failed, when I didn’t get it right instantly, when I just didn’t know what to do from the jump, that I would beg to quit when I got my first correction.
Michelle Watson, The Pantry Podcast, How to Be the Best Disciple

In the harder moments of my walk, in the more embarrassing moments, in the shame-filled moments…God comes to you and He corrects you, but He picks you back up as He corrects you, He puts you on the solid rock and He says, “I’m doing this so that you can be a partaker of my holiness. I’m doing this so that you can yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness in your life moving forward with others, with those people around you. And that’s invaluable.

Do you struggle with telling the truth or hearing

Do you struggle with telling the truth or hearing it? As a believer, it really isn’t a suggestion when we read that we are to love correction because it is loving! We can camp out on the hill of, “but I won’t lose salvation over it,” but that honestly reveals a lack of maturity as a follower of Christ. If hearing correction and truth is still hard to do, camp out in proverbs and ask God to give you wisdom, discernment, and the strength to act on the truths you hear. When our actions reveal our beliefs, we see who and what we hold our faith in. #dailybible #dailydevotional #dailydevo #butfirstjesus #faithinchrist #jesusislord #sharethegospel #truthinlove

Make sure to ask yourself if you’re hearing confirmation for something that tickles your ears that you want to be true or if it actually aligns with the Word of God. #discernment #bibledaily #dailydevotional #butfirstjesus #godswordistruth #prophetic

Don’t believe the enemy’s lies. Don’t make plans rooted in the world’s ways. Discern with the Word and be bold in your obedience to rest in Him. #dailywisdom #christisenough #bibledaily #trustgodbro #godlywisdom

Season 7: God Intentions is all about discernment.

Season 7: God Intentions is all about discernment. We may mean well, but a quick check of the Word would prove it's not of God. Now, God is the ultimate source of good. What we're saying is that we can often call something good that actually isn't, which can lead us (and entire generations) farther from our Lord. Season 7 is UP and ready for your binge listening wherever you podcast. #dailydevotion #dailydevotional #godlyliving #godisgoodallthetime #christianpodcast

The Lord is faithful to finish His work in us, so we aren’t all on the same page to the letter all at once. But with every re-wiring from the broken to the Biblical, we unite more and more with the Lord and one another 🙌🏽 #dailybiblereading #dailydevotional #butfirstjesus #rewired #godlyliving

In 2022, the plan is to bring a lot more bread to the table for communal consumption. Starting today. The plan is to be all caught up shouting out amazing past episodes by the end of the month, with a lot of yummy snacks in between.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Pick something small as a January goal that can lead to a February goal that snowballs (it’s snowing here!) into a year of intentionality and obedience unto the Lord this year. It’s bound to be a crazy time, so arm yourself with the Armor of God. Talk to you soon. 🙌🏽

P.s. Calia is so happy that y’all liked her Christmas special. Thank you for all the support!

Life can be a maze. Like this one Calia guided us

Life can be a maze. Like this one Calia guided us through on Monday afternoon. The bean plants were just tall enough to be over her head, but she only took two wrong turns. The first was easily corrected because the dead end came fast. The second took a lot longer to correct even though it looked like we were almost out. Shea and I were with her the whole time, but we let her lead the way until she asked for input. Then her daddy let her ride on his shoulders and she could more clearly see the way and we got out in just a few more minutes. Be still in that you’re still in motion, but riding on your Father’s shoulders, letting Him lead you out of life’s mazes one by one. When He is our foundation, we can more clearly discern which way to go.

It’s been a minute while we bounce back from eve

It’s been a minute while we bounce back from everything we had going on (check out last Wednesday’s episode for details!) and we’re playing catch up discussing all the amazing episodes that dropped over the last several weeks. This is my (Michelle) bestie gal @rebekarwhite who blessed us with an a amazing convo on episode 6 of Season 6! She also sings so amazing. If you struggle with feeling like you are never enough, you’ll get a lot out of that episode. 🙌🏽

Y’all. This episode is amazing. What lies do you

Y’all. This episode is amazing. What lies do you believe? Happy lies. @coffeejeansandjesus @iamnickruffin @heyshawnq

What is The Pantry Podcast?

There are things we’re wise to consume and store up in this life. Yet there are other things that lead to poor health, disappointment—even death.

Choose Jesus, not junk food.

Best and God bless,

Shea & Michelle

Give praise to the Lord, proclaim His name; make known among the nations what He has done.

Psalm 105:1 NLT
