  • 52. For the Love of Friendship | Have You Checked the Health of Your Friendships? What Does God Teach Us About Friendship? [Szn 3, Ep 2]

    Hola Amiga, 

    Priscilla and Haley share their hearts behind Season 3 “The Joy of Conversation & Friendship.”  Jesus models the perfect friendship for us, and we get to emulate the Heart of the Father in our own friendships and relationships.  Relationships can be challenging, but we can always look to the Father to help us serve in relationships rather than seeking what we can get out of it. 

    In today’s episode Priscilla and Haley get real and vulnerable about the beauty of friendship, and what God is constantly teaching through relationships. God is a relational God, and He wants to give us good and healthy relationships, so what can we do to ensure we are walking in healthy and beautiful fellowship with one another as He commands us? Listen in, and we hope you find some encouragement! 

    Love your, 

    Amigas!

  • 51. The Joy of Conversation & Friendship | Life Friends with Lara [Szn 3, Ep 1]

    Hola Amiga, 

    We are back, and we are kicking off Season 3 “The Joy of Conversations & Friendship.”  Today we brought in Haley’s life friend Lara to talk all about what it takes to build a life friendship! “Friendship is not just to serve you. It’s to serve each other and that’s the way Jesus modeled as our bridegroom.”  “Friendship it’s not self-seeking it’s self-sacrificing.” 

    In today’s episode we get to know Lara a little more, and she shares with us her wisdom on friendships and what she has learned along the way from all her friendships.  We are excited for you to get to know Lara and hear the friendship story between Haley and Lara! 

    Love your, 

    Amigas!

  • 50. Embracing Summer | The Freedom To Be Truly You

    Hola Amiga, 

    Summer is here, and we want to encourage you look inward to check-in with your heart.  We wanted to encourage you to walk in the freedom God has given you to be truly you. God made you unique to be uniquely you, so don’t let the enemy steal, lie or destroy your sense of self or identity in Christ.  The comparison game is just a trick to distract you from what God truly has in store for you, and that is FREEDOM. 

    Take a deep dive on an inward look.  What is God calling you to this summer? Set your eyes on Him, and let Him direct your steps.  We promise He won’t let you down, because that is His Promise for you. 

    Embrace summer and walk in the freedom to be truly you! 

    Love your, 

    Amigas!

Her writings and her ministry knew a brief period of popularity, making her a friend even of the wife of Louis XIV. She greatly influenced the life of Fenelon, one of the two most famous clergymen in France's history and she earned the wrath of the other, Bosuet. The conflict between these two giants over her teachings led to her disgrace in the king's court and then her imprisonment. Three hundred years later she is still one of the most influential people in the lives of those who seek a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.” https://books.google.com/books/about/Intimacy_With_Christ.html?id=rcFvAAAACAAJ

    • 49. Moving Away From Perfection Into Progress & Trusting God with the Process.

      Hola Amiga, 

      We are half-way through the year, and we want to encourage you look inward to check-in with your heart.  What has been owning your heart lately that might need a closer look or to be fully surrendered to the Lord? 

      Have you given your worries, stress and anxiety to the Lord?  He is always inviting us into somewhere new and fresh, and wants to be with us in all details.  He does not require perfection, He just wants our “yes” to him, but are you trusting Him with the process? What are your goals and dreams for this year? And have you allowed the Lord to lead your steps? 

      Love your, 

      Amigas!
