Relish: a Christian podcast

Don shares some personal stories about trusting in God’s timing—lessons learned the hard way, and the beauty in recognizing His guidance when it happens. We also discuss how Satan sometimes tries to trip us up with shame and the importance of leaning into the Holy Spirit's guidance. Oh, and there's an insightful chat about the strength that comes from Christ, even when life feels like a race to the finish line! 🏃‍♂️

We also touch on some thoughtful questions, like our media choices and their impact on our walk with Christ. It's a great conversation that might just add a little spice to your life!

Hey friends! Welcome back to another thought-provoking episode of Relish with Rowan Miller and Don Patterson. This week, we’re taking on some of the biggest spiritual questions believers wrestle with.

💭 Can Satan read our thoughts—or just influence our surroundings? We dig into biblical accounts to see how the enemy operates and how we can guard our minds and hearts.

🕊️ Is heaven our true home? We talk about how our time on earth can be more than just survival—it’s an eternal investment.

🔄 Then, it’s time for the big one: Free will vs. predestination. Do we choose God, or does He choose us? We explore what Scripture says, share personal perspectives, and challenge surface-level answers.

This episode isn’t just a conversation—it’s an invitation to wrestle deeply with your faith, expand your view of God's sovereignty, and grow closer to the truth.

Is God really hidden—or are we just not looking closely enough? In this episode, we explore how God’s presence shows up in both ancient miracles and modern moments, even in the chaos of daily life.

We also reflect on Mary’s incredible courage—a young woman who said “yes” to God’s calling, showing us the power of surrender and trust. What can her story teach us about faith today?

Finally, we journey with Jesus to the cross, uncovering how His sacrifice reveals the depth of divine love and how every act of surrender can serve a greater purpose.
