Psalm 130 | Lectio Divina

Last updated on: October 12, 2026 at 8:25 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Long before this Lectio Divina, Psalm 130 – the song – started playing in my mind. I looked it up. Ellie Holcomb Wait For You – Psalm 130 I listened to it over and over again. Then I added it to a playlist where I keep songs that stick with me like this. It’s currently the last song on the playlist, but that may change tomorrow. I like the song for a couple reasons. First there is a gentle flow... Read more

Vernell Ingle | I’ve Just Called to Encourage You

Last updated on: October 1, 2026 at 4:06 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Dad just called to encourage me. I’m driving Spark, waiting for my Medicaid paperwork to be processed so I can serve as a counselor, begging God for an answer about the timing… 5 months – Neth called yesterday before church. Medicaid got backed up with applications, so they moved the applications to another department. Neth said it’s the first time they’ve done something like that in years. So it will probably be 2 months of waiting on the general Medicaid.... Read more

Be Still and Know That I am God

Last updated on: September 12, 2026 at 6:56 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

“Be still and know that I am God,” is one the most beloved promises in the Psalms. It is found in Psalm 46. The version for this article is the New Revised Standard Version. First, I want to take a look at the Psalm in general surrounding the “Be still” command. Secondly, I can provide a little bit of background. For instance, did you know this is the very Psalm which inspired Martin Luther to write his famous hymn “A... Read more

Scripture to Combat Fear

Last updated on: August 20, 2026 at 11:56 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

When fear rears its head. Entirely out of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving. Ephesians 5.4, NRSV There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love. 1 John 4.18, NRSV For it is better to suffer for doing good, if suffering should be God’s will, than to suffer for doing evil. 1 Peter 3.17,...

Prayers in the Now

Last updated on: July 19, 2026 at 8:30 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Sometimes future prayers invade the now. 06.26.26 If there is an Egypt for either one of us that we have been delivered from, then I pray there’s no going back. I pray we would press on through the forty years for our inheritance, our promised land. 06.27.26 I pray that she would be responsive to me now, that she would see me for who I am now. 06.30.26 When I pray for our needs of course my mind goes there...

Praying for Love

Last updated on: July 1, 2026 at 2:01 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

05.28.26 I’m asking that my future wife would fall in love with my children as she falls in love with me. And may I love her kids in the same way if she has any. May we love each other’s children as we love our own. 06.04.26 I pray that when she shows up it will be the right timing and it will be of God. 06.09.26 Something supernatural like a healing may be needed for the future wife and...

I Think I’m Forgiving Her…

Last updated on: June 17, 2026 at 5:27 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

I think I’m forgiving her, not my future wife that I’ve been praying for, but my ex-wife. Maybe a month ago I discovered Samantha Ebert’s song Forty-One I’m on a journey and this song expresses how real it is to me. I have cried, listening to this song. Then my son flew in from Virginia to spend nearly a month with me. We always listen to music so I played the song for him. He said that his mom knows who Samantha... Read more

Continuing to Pray for Her

Last updated on: June 10, 2026 at 4:06 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Continuing to Pray for Her 05.04.26 Is it too much to ask for her to be baptized in the Spirit and that she would experience the fire of the Holy Ghost? 05.07.26 Can we both be ready for the same level of a relationship, so there won’t be a tension between us as far as expectations? 05.09.26 I haven’t prayed this before but I pray she doesn’t hurt me. And if we do hurt each other we would both be... Read more

Praying Through to Listen

Last updated on: June 2, 2026 at 5:54 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

There are times when prayer becomes more of an act of listening. There are seasons we go through when we hear little to nothing from the Lord. Then there are times when His words pierce the soul. I can’t say how much self-doubt I have experienced, especially in my calling. Is it possible? What does it look like now? Your calling has not been revoked. Your ministry will actually carry new authority and compassion because you have suffered. Lord I... Read more
