Declaring God’s Love Daily with Special Guest Elizabeth

Today we are diving into the concept of affirmations - is it ok to say these things out loud as a Christian? What does God think of this? How does it stack up to what we see in His word? All these questions and more are answered as we share our thoughts on declaring God's love over our lives each and every day.

Examples of Affirmations/Declarations of God's Love:

 

My body is the Lord's temple. I am healthy and strong.

 

I praise you God for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

 

I love my body and I am so happy and grateful I am taking the steps to be at my ideal weight. Lord, teach me how to be content in the process.

 

I wake up early, drink lots of water and give my day to the Lord by praising Him and reading His word.

 

I eat the right amount of food for my body. I never starve myself and I never binge.

 

I do not hold everyone else's emotions inside me. I release that to God and let Him build a fortress around my heart.

 

I am a great parent, wife, and daughter of the King. I walk by the Spirit, not by the flesh.

 

I am healing, I am getting stronger.

 

 

 

A True Story of Friendship - Aaron and Moses

Happy Easter weekend my friends! I wanted to share with you some thoughts on Moses and Aaron.

Aaron was a true friend who cared deeply for Moses, championed him and held him up when his arms were tired.

I hope this message encourages you to seek out friends like this, and to remember God is your ultimate friend in times of need. 

Do You Pause?

Today let's look at the all important "pause" we see throughout the bible. God calls us to pause and talk to Him before major life events, decisions, and even everyday emotional occurances. I pray this episode encourages you to press pause, pray, and talk to God at any time and at any moment.

Speaking the Truth in Love

Do you struggle with having conflict in your life? Do you shy away from necessary conversations because you can't bring yourself to speak out? I know how you feel friend, I've been there many times. God is pressing upon my heart the idea of using conflict as a tool to strengthen the relationship. God is with us in those moments and He never leaves us to do it alone. I pray that today's message encourages you to step forward in faith as you have those conflicts. 

Verses Mentioned: 

1 Peter 4:8 
"Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins."

Ephesians 4:29

"Let no corrupt talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear."

 

Questions to ask before going into a conflict:

1. What is the most loving thing I can do in this situation? Speak up or look past the offense?

2. What pain or damage is their behavior causing, and can my words shed light on this?

3. Am I people-pleasing, or peace-making?

4. Will I care about this tomorrow, in a few days or years to come? Is this a hill I want to die on? 

5. Is God calling me to speak up about this and let this person know the hurt they are causing me and others? 

40 Day Sugar Fast with Special Guest Emily

This week on the podcast my friend Emily and I are discussing the 40 day sugar fast and how it greatly impacted our personal walks with the Lord. We share about the pitfalls of perfectionism, meeting God and hearing His voice, identifying strongholds in our life, and even breaking the addictive nature of sugar. Be encouraged that even if you struggle in this way, God has great things ahead for you!!

Input Matters

As a society that is collectively afraid of "silence" we fill our days with undending noise - music, podcasts, shows, Netlfix, etc. We are constantly looking for the next thing to fill our quiet space. But what if we actually took the time to examine what inputs we are receiving? What if we sat with God and asked, "are these things ok to be putting into my soul?" Today I want to encourage you that the more you get honest with God, the more you are opening yourself up to receiving His peace. Our souls are moldable, we have to be careful what is coming in. Let's be mindful today and going forward and also be encouraged that God has something even better for us ahead.

God, Are You Proud of Me?

Have you ever wondered if God is proud of who you are and the life you've lived so far? I know I have, and I long to hear from God that He is proud.

Today I want to share with you my heart, some breakthroughs I've had lately in therapy, and how God wants to shower you with His love and affection each and every day.

When We Pray Small

Today I want to share with you a lesson God taught me this week of the importance of praying big instead of small. We limit ourselves and our faith when we choose to pray small, yet God invites us into a deeper relationship where we trust Him with everything. Join me today and fight against the doubt that God can't do what you are asking of Him.
