Follow the Shepherd - Episode 7
October 22, 2024 • Josephine Mary Schmidt • John 10:14

Fine Wine - Episode 6 - Part 3
October 6, 2024 • Josephine Mary Schmidt • Jeremiah 2:1–13, John 2:1–10
Jesus filled six empty stone jars that the Jews used for ceremonial washing. They had exchanged their Glorious God for rituals and worthless idols. There is no sanctification pleasing to God than faith in Jesus and obedience to God's Word. I hope this message strengthens your faith in the many trials we are destined to face.
Fine Wine - Episode 5 - Part 2
John 2:1–11, Matthew 1:1–14, John 19:28–29
The mission of God is to send His Son, to find us, and capture us in His love, to fill us with the Holy Spirit, and to transform us into the image of Christ and be ready for the Rapture. The Wedding at Cana is Jesus' first miracle, a picture of His mission, and the inspiration for the song and lyrics of "Fine Wine."
Fine Wine - Episode 4 - Part 1
April 3, 2024 • Josephine Mary Schmidt • Ezekiel 8
My hope is on Jesus,” verse lyric for the song “Fine Wine.” I use a difficult passage to discuss our need to lay down our lives and not allow the devil to provoke our Lord Jesus to jealousy. We are the temple of God, and our responses should be very different from those of the world who don’t know who Jesus is.
You Lead Me (Psalm 23) - Episode 3
March 20, 2024 • Josephine Mary Schmidt • Psalm 23
Our confidence in the Lord and our Salvation is clearly seen in this Psalm and song.
How Precious (Psalm 36) - Episode 2
March 7, 2024 • Josephine Mary Schmidt • Psalm 36:7–12
In times of panic and trouble, there is a place that is very real to us as Christians—to be under God's precious and loving wing and arms. I talk about the current day of Leo, my husband, who has a life-threatening infection and is an ocean away from me and draw on this song and Psalm. I pray this podcast encourages you that in times of trouble, words that may be easy to say but difficult to do are a very real place of refuge and relief.
Leaving This Room - Episode 1
February 22, 2024 • Josephine Mary Schmidt • Matthew 11:28–30
"Leaving This Room" starts with these harsh words, "Dry your eyes. No one's coming for you." Josephine discusses the birth of this song, the pain surrounding these lyrics, and how Jesus redeems us out of terrible situations, too strong for us to escape, like being in a locked room all our life until He finds us. It is the first song she decided to put on her album to praise and honor the One who opened the door and changed her life from death and destruction to life and promises in Him. Jesus rescues those seeking to escape the kingdom of darkness, trying to destroy them through people, circumstances, and life here as we know it.
Come and join in this incredible discussion and learn how to escape from the tactics of the Devil, who is responsible for keeping us in these chains.
