I love to teach the Bible at my Cultivate Events across the country and also locally at my home church.

Think of it as Kelly’s Top Hits when it comes to narratives in Scripture, and how God has used these characters in His Word to teach her clear truths about her own life. The Cultivate Podcast is all about deepening your understanding of Scripture for a deeper love of Jesus.

Why is it important to set aside time to rest?
While we live in a world of busyness and rush, setting aside time to rest is a way of renewing our souls, telling the Lord we trust Him to handle all of life's worries, and celebrating our redemption in Christ! Who doesn't want more of this? If you're tired, worn down, and living without margin, this is an episode that will be so encouraging for your soul.
What does Jesus want to do in your life?
Don't settle for less than the healing Jesus wants to do in your life and heart! He often wants to bring us a deeper healing than what we're even looking for. This week we'll see Jesus not only heal a woman physically who had suffered for 12 years, we'll see Him remove the shame and isolation that plagued her.
What is simplicity spiritual discipline?
We often think of the spiritual discipline of simplicity as a life of lack or being in constant want. But, actually, living simply is about living freely. It's about greater availability to Jesus. And when we're available to Him, when we're not weighed down by all of our stuff, we're free to live the greatest adventure of our lives. There is positively nothing on earth like following Christ.
What happened on the other side of the lake of Galilee?
When Jesus brought His light and healing to the town, the people didn't want the disruption of change. Perhaps you know the feeling. On the other side of the lake, Jesus responded to the faith of a group of friends. Have you ever considered how much your faith in Christ affects the people around you? It's the third week of our Jesus Changes Everything collection in Matthew 8-9!
Where does Sarah Rodrigues live?
I can't wait for you to meet my friend Sarah Rodrigues, one of my dearest friends and a co-worker with Justice & Mercy International. She lives in the Amazon and serves the people of the river, many of whom live very simple lives. And, yet, their joy is boundless. She'll be walking us through Jesus' miracle of multiplying the loaves and fishes, reminding us that when we offer Jesus the little we have, this is when He often does His greatest miracles.
Who is ready for the one and only Kristi McLelland?
Who is ready for the one and only Kristi McLelland? Today we're talking sabbath rest, and few know this discipline like Kristi. She's a biblical culturalist who studies the Scriptures through a middle eastern perspective. In this episode she uncovers beautiful truths about how the Jewish people practiced Sabbath, how we're to practice it today, and how when we choose rest it's an active way of choosing Christ.
Consider the Birds
I was awake at 3:30 in the morning. My mind racing as it’s been doing non-stop the past few weeks or so. Certain realities of life that have mostly felt concrete, prior to very recently, are suddenly gone or simply up in the air. Where will it all land? We don’t know,...
The Nearness of God in Uncertain Times
If you’re anything like me over the past few weeks you’ve been vacillating between a confident trust in God and waves of panic and fear. For those of us who are Christ followers we want to trust the Lord but we get tripped up on wondering what exactly we can trust Him...
