What we want will shape what we do. Sometimes what we do is sin. Did you know that you sin because you want to? Before you get upset with me, that’s what James said. Whether or not we know what those desires are that will lead to sin, it is still a desire. We have to ask ourselves what we really want and why we want it. When we are rude to people, …

Bonus Episode: This episode is a bit light-hearted! Who went to 3 state championships for basketball and has an award named after them? Who can be bossy? Hannah and I answered some fun questions about each other and you might learn some things you didn’t know about us. I mean, we’re not the most “fun” couple, but we definitely have quirks.…

Truth vs Lie is a constant spiritual battle, but it’s not a battle against flesh and blood. People are not your enemies. When we see things that are trying to purposefully normalize ungodly things in our kids, there certainly is an initial reaction of anger. However, do we trust Truth enough to know that His Word stands true and not repay evil for …

Being blessed and being a blessing is not about the #blessedlife trend. It’s not about showing how great your life is on social media. I want to think biblically about what blessing means. Hannah talks about the new way she thinks about being a blessing. Seeing beyond people’s attitudes, their words, their mistakes– instead seeing them the way God …

There are a lot of different ways we experience the world. Some of us experience more emotions and some like to use their mind to process what they are experiencing. You have heard me say it before in my sermons that I am more of a thinker and my wife is more of a feeler. No matter how much I say this, that doesn’t mean we are locked into these lab…

In this episode, we share our experiences of practicing the presence of the Lord as parents. As we do this as parents, we bring it to the church, too. Hannah knew there needed to be more connection with God for the church, as always, but it’s easy to drift into a place of being unaware of God’s presence. And guess what? Practicing being in God’s pr…

You may hear a new yet familiar voice in this podcast and she is here for this season! (Maybe more!) Let’s welcome Hannah to the ongoing conversation! Tyler has had a few exciting changes in his family’s life so he is refocusing on some cool things for his family. As a lot of you know, I went on Sabbatical last year. Hannah and I were able to truly…

This episode we talk about our focus during the holiday season. We are about to begin the Advent season and there is so much that is trying to compete for our attention, but without intentional focus we allow our attention to drift where advertisers want instead of where the Word wants. It's funny that Josh asked us at the beginning about expectati…

Before people get too committed to arguing on social media about the holidays, specifically Halloween in this episode, let's look at the history. Typically, a lot of people look at holidays culturally, but not historically---usually absent of a Biblical view. There is no decision or activity that has NO effect on our souls, whether we feel it or no…

There has been much controversy over who is the leader in the home, but that is not what we are tackling today. How to we submit to one another in the fear of the Lord as husband and wife? I talk a lot about how I need to do better at submitting to Hannah. Then Josh talks about how he said to Audrie, early in their marriage, that he was the husband…

Have you taken one of those quizzes on Facebook that tell you which Disney Princess you are? Maybe we are not all a type of Disney princess, but we are all wired a bit differently and that's okay! You may have taken different tests to see what "type" of person you are, or why you do things the way that you do. Maybe you are able to get a general id…

There are not many things more frustrating than someone telling you how to grieve or what grief even looks like. Grief will touch every person on earth in some form. How we grieve is something we need to have a revelation of from scripture. We also need to know how to grieve with hope before the time comes that we experience it. Saying that grief w…

The Word says we do not grieve without hope. However, it doesn't say that we don't grieve. The point of this is not to avoid pain, but to feel it well. It is important to maintain an eternal perspective when we are going through grieving the loss of a loved one. In everything, we need to stay grounded in the Word. Staying connected to Jesus through…

We either overthink reading the Bible or we don't really think about it at all. Neither is good to start a habit of reading the Bible, right? My friends and I talk about, well--a lot of different things, but we had a great conversation about reading the Bible. There's a lot of different opinions about how to read the Bible, but it's mainly a story.…

The past is the past, but it's not irrelevant! Your past might be cheesy, especially if you grew up in the 90s, but it is still important! It is good to look back and ask yourself why you do what you do. What shaped how you make decisions? Jacob talks about the coaching he got from his dad, Tyler is sad that he never won a "Kenny" in a youth film f…

Tyler tells a story of how he got in trouble with me when I was his basketball coach and you will never guess what Tyler did to get in trouble. 🤔 I also may have handled it a little dramatically. Then Josh tells the tale of the time he got a C on a school paper, which is surprising but how his parents responded was important! These stories and more…

In this bonus episode of the Jacob Sheriff Podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with my friend Andrew Wommack to have a conversation about his life and experience.

In our Season 1 Finale we are responding to your questions! Ever wondered about that passage in 1 Thess. 4 commonly associated with the Rapture? What if Mary told the angel no? How important is historical context when reading scripture? and how do we avoid becoming too rigid in our spiritual habits. These questions and more are responded to in toda…

In today's episode we discuss "the season of waiting". We often live our lives in the waiting, wanting to get from "here" to "there". There are very few moments in life when we are "there". How then do we navigate the journey of life from a place of gratitude, and living in the present. Thank you for tuning in to this episode, we hope you enjoy! We…

We discuss practical ways to start habits and gain traction, and what to do when we hit plateaus. Books Referenced: Celebration of Discipline - Richard Foster Spirit of t…

Our faith is much older than we may realize. It's not something we get to make up or to have all figured out. We are a part of a much larger story. We have to do our part to keep that story moving forward.Jacob Sheriff által
