Savor the Seasoning with Bethany Rogness

Central Lutheran Church - Elk River

Have you ever wondered how life's trials can shape and strengthen us? Join me as I recount my transformative journey from graduating Bethel University to working at Feed My Starving Children, with profound experiences like getting married, having three children, and moving to Austria as a missionary. Discover how our return to the U.S. and becoming homeowners through Habitat for Humanity taught me the power of faith and prayer in navigating life's transitions and new beginnings.
Imagine the legacy of love and hospitality symbolized by a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. In "Seasoning the Heart," I draw parallels between the restoration of a skillet and the spiritual growth of our hearts. Reflecting on the life of Peter and key biblical passages, we explore how life's challenges and God's anointing prepare us to pass down a legacy of love and faith. This segment underscores the importance of embracing our spiritual journey and the lessons we leave behind for future generations.
From miraculous catches of fish to walking on water, Peter's journey with Jesus offers profound lessons on faith and resilience. "Faith in the Storm" dives into these pivotal moments, illustrating the interplay between faith and doubt. We also examine the significance of self-care and spiritual renewal, using Jesus' retreats to pray as a model. In "Seasoning Through Life's Ups and Downs," the focus shifts to the compassionate relationship between Jesus and Peter, encouraging us to recognize our weaknesses and trust in God's unwavering support. Through heartfelt reflection and prayer, find strength and comfort in your faith, especially during life's toughest times.
