Psalm 23 is known as the Psalm of comfort during times of trial and suffering for many. I think we can all agree, in the year of 2020, we need some comfort during these days of suffering and unknown. Join Dot for a 5 week series looking at the heart of God through the eyes of a shepherd in Psalm 23 and John 10. 
In week one, Dot teaches us out of Psalm 23:1-3, how to fight the fear of the unknown and how to find comfort in the Great I Am who provides for our needs. David reflects on God as his Good Shepherd to show us that God is a God who cares for us, who makes all things new and brings life out of death. 

Write This Down:
I think. I feel. I want. I value. 
God, what do I think about you? Do I know and understand you are my Good Shepherd?
Do I feel that You have my best interest at heart?
Do I want what You want?
Do I value our relationship so much that I run to you and ask you to be the Shepherd of my life?
Ask God, what do I really think, feel, want and value?
Go before God and ask Him these questions, when we begin to be real before God and share our hearts to our Good Shepherd, we are able to see His heart.

Episode 1: The Heart of a Shepherd - Part 1

Waiting on God and keeping the faith in the process is one of the most difficult things God may ask us to do. Dot begins a 3-part series on what it looks like to faithfully wait on God by looking at the life of Abraham. 


Write This Down:
Genesis 12:1-8
Genesis 13:4
Hebrews 11

How do we keep the faith while we wait on God for directions for our life, for God to come through or for His will fulfilled in a certain situation:
1. We do what we know to do and take the first step of faith
2. We pray consistently throughout the entire waiting process

“Waiting on God does not mean doing nothing. It means not going outside of His will while you do something.” Tony Evans

Episode 7: Waiting on God - Part 1

Bible teacher, author and Cup of Joy Ministries founder, Dot Bowen, teaches listeners what it truly looks like to know, love and follow Jesus by diving into Biblical Scripture each week. Dot’s honest transparency, quick wit and insightful wisdom invites listeners to dive deeper into Scripture and ask honest questions before God. She has come to realize in her own life that as we grow in our understanding of who Jesus is and who we are, we grow in our love for Him as He deepens our desire to follow Him faithfully. 

Whether Dot is teaching, speaking, or simply grabbing coffee with a dear friend, she can often be heard saying with excitement, “Write This Down!” Her heart for the listener is to take the things she asks you to write down, before the Lord, and ask Him to open your eyes to His truth and love. John 8:32 “and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.” 

So pull up a chair, grab a pen, listen in and be sure to Write This Down! With Dot Bowen.
