January 09, 2023 S5.1| What To Do When the New Year Starts With Discouragement & Disappointment
It's the first episode of Season 5!!!! Thanks for being here!

This is not the typical podcast episode you'll find this time of year. Instead of talking about vision, goals and setting intentions for the year, Carla is sharing the very real story of how her new year has started - filled with disappointment and discouragement. When the year ahead looks like it is filled with struggle and trials, how do you move forward in faith? Carla shares what she is preaching to herself these days, and hopes it will be an encouragement to your heart.

December 29, 2022 S4.Bonus|What I'm Leaving Behind in 2022
This is the last episode of Season 4!!!

Carla normally uses this time to set intentions for 2023, cast a vision and plan out goals. But in this season of waiting, she is putting "new year's resolutions" on the back burner. Instead, Carla has been reflecting on things that got in her way of living out God's plan for her life in 2022 - and is committing to leaving them behind in 2023. She encourages you to reflect on the same - what do you need to leave behind?

Season 5 kicks off January 9, 2023. See you then@

December 18, 2022 S4.15| Suicide: Let's Have a Conversation.
This is not your typical Monday morning episode from Affirming Truths.

This past week, I have been overwhelmed in my thoughts and feelings about suicide after hearing about TWitch's suicide. I am a suicide survivor. I have had a family member die from suicide. And I have seen the world react in shock and mourning when suicide happens.

But what about before the suicide? How are we showing up for the suicidal and depressed? Why do we become judgemental, uncomfortable and avoidant to people's pain but sorrowful in their death? Let's talk about it.

December 05, 2022 S4.13| How is God Calling you to "Consider Your Ways" - a Lesson from Haggai
The Israelites abandoned the building of God's temple to focus on building their own lives. Oh how we are guilty of this too! It's not that we are doing "bad" things - caring for our homes and families is good! But often - if we are honest with ourselves - we let the good things take precedence over the BEST thing - walking with God in His will.

Come along with Carla as she looks at how we need to consider our ways.

S4.Bonus| 4 Reasons Why My Family Doesn't Do Santa

This is a conversation Carla had over her Instagram stories and wanted to bring to you here.

But listen - there is no condemnation in what you choose to do with your family. Carla doesn't believe that Santa is a heaven or hell issue - but one each parent must consult the Holy Spirit on. In this episode, Carla doesn't throw scripture at you but shares what she believes to be practical reasons not to promote Santa as a true, living entity that brings presents.
