Summary

This may be a passage that can cause confusion to the believer, but today Emma Dotter is joined by Jaclyn West to unpack a deep conversation. This passage has a beautiful example of repentance with three takeaways: the people had high regard for the Word of God, they had recognition and sorrow for their sin, and they knew that true repentance of sin does cost us something.

Additional Passages of Scripture:
Deuteronomy 7 & Exodus 34:16, God does not want Israel taking the sons and daughters of other lands in marriage
2 Corinthians 6:14-18, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers”
Proverbs 20:12, “the hearing ear and the seeing eyes the Lord has made them both.”
2 Corinthians 7:10-11, “Godly grief produces repentance”
Luke 9:23, “Deny yourself, take up his cross and follow me.”
Proverbs 14:16, “A fool is reckless and careless.”
Acts 3:19-20, “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out…”

0:00.0	Reading our Bibles regularly can be a challenge,
0:03.5	but we're all on this journey together.
0:05.6	We're praying that this podcast inspires you,
0:08.5	helps you better understand God's word,
0:10.6	and builds your faith.
0:12.1	This is Join the Journey with your host, Emma Daughter.
0:17.1	Thanks for joining today, we are reading Ezra 9 and 10, but before we get there, a quick announcement. Today is Friday, the day on which this episode's releasing, if you're catching us live, is Friday. And that means that there is a new episode of Join the Journey Jr. coming out today. So if you've got little ones, kids, nieces or nephews, neighbors down
0:39.4	the street, encourage them to check that out so they can hear the Bible come alive in a kid-friendly
0:44.2	way. But all that said, I am here with today's adult devotional writer, Jacqueline West.
0:51.0	Hey, guys. Jacqueline, so good to have you here. Thank you so much for having me. It's an
0:55.4	honor to be here. You're welcome. I know this is a fun change of pace for you. You're not used to coming on
1:01.4	podcasts. Nope. But I'm glad you took the step of faith and you're here. And we would love for you
1:07.9	to share just a little bit about how you're using the gifts God has
1:11.9	given you to service church. Sure. So I've been a member at Watermark for about 11 years now,
1:19.1	going on 12. Amazing that it's been that long. And the Lord has really used this place to help
1:26.3	grow and expand my view of him. I serve on the
1:31.4	Believe team, and I've served on Equipped Disciple. Both ministries have really ministered to me
1:37.1	in their own ways. Equipped disciples helped increase my intimacy with the Lord, and that's something I
1:42.0	love to just pass on to other people who are looking
1:44.6	for it. And the Believe Team is a place where I get to encourage people toward clarify and share
1:50.3	the gospel. And so Believe Team is a part of the membership process in essence. Many people
