Right now, in Romans 8, where I’ve been reading the first passage for at least 4 days now, I keep going over the first several verses. “And because you belong to Him the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God sent Jesus and declared an end to sins control over us…”...]]></description><link>https://www.angelaepowell.com/post/from-death-s-authority-to-life-s-power</link><guid isPermaLink="false">699e16a7e9360bd69c34791c</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2026 21:40:58 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Angela E.

And for some reason I became like a child who has been asked to clean their room and they suddenly have a million other things they “have” to do, or they go into said room and get distracted by every single toy and the cleaning process takes hours instead of minutes. Except, for me, it took months. At the time, I had a pretty good...]]></description><link>https://www.angelaepowell.com/post/when-god-asks-the-hard-things-lessons-from-hosea</link><guid isPermaLink="false">695d830c98add1bc1581989d</guid><pubDate>Tue, 06 Jan 2026 22:14:44 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Angela E.

I’ve been told a lot of things over the course of my 40 years about what is true about the Bible but haven’t really ever done the research myself. And it feels like I’m going through a season of unlearning, or relearning because I keep finding myself asking, “What would I say if someone asked me questions about such and such topic.” Many times, what my brain delivers to me is a mix of things I’ve heard in...]]></description><link>https://www.angelaepowell.com/post/keeping-sabbath-holy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">690bce12fd9ea664b1e355f3</guid><pubDate>Wed, 05 Nov 2025 23:39:58 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Angela E.

This includes all the Old Testament verses that are quoted or referenced in the New Testament, but also going through each Old Testament book and noting which books were written around the same time period, which ones overlapped, which ones mention the same events/people, etc. And because the Old Testament is so much bigger than the New, I’ve been parked in the Old for most of the...]]></description><link>https://www.angelaepowell.com/post/torn-to-heal-a-season-of-repair</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6905338f035059c53ba5b40c</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Oct 2025 22:25:28 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Angela E.
