Bearing Fruit

Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast! 

This week I wanted to do a bit more of a light-hearted episode. So naturally, I asked you guys on Insta stories a few days ago on what your red flags are when dating as a Christian, and boy did you have some good responses - we get deep into it! Thank you for being so passionate about the Lord and not being afraid to speak up. I think when you get into a relationship, it’s so easy to neglect your relationship with THE LORD, so I love that these red flags run true for you, and you are able to discern what it is that you will, and will not stand for! 

I truly enjoyed this episode, and I hope you do too. If so, please let me know if you would like to see a Part 2, or an episode on the Green Flags.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. 

In this week’s episode we talk about the war within - the flesh vs. the spirit. A lot of people assume that when you start to give your life to Christ, life becomes “easier”; everything settles, and it’s all sunshine and roses. So when they don’t expect the war that begins when they give their life to Christ, they begin to blame God. You guys, let me make this as clear as it can possibly be. When you give your life to Christ, the enemy works overtime to ruin your life. The war within is a spiritual war that attacks your spirit, but feeds your flesh. When you live as the world lives, you feed your flesh, meaning your spirit already lies with the enemy, so your flesh no longer is in conflict with the spirit.

However, when you give your spirit to Jesus, the flesh begins to fight. It tries to win every battle. However, scripture says, if you walk by the spirit, you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. It doesn't say you will never experience the desires of the flesh - but "gratify" the desires of the flesh.

How about we get straight into this week's topic, as there is so much to unpack. Join me as I share more on this spiritual and never-ending war within.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast! I missed you guys last week, and sorry for not uploading an episode. 

In this week’s episode, prepare to get uncomfortable. I love talking about topics that make our flesh uncomfortable, because it means that we are on the right path to keeping our spirit pure. This week, we are going to be talking about taming the tongue. I didn’t realise how many verses and mentions there are in the Bible about the power of the tongue. Our tongue has the power to either speak life or death, and it’s so wild to see that this generation say whatever they want, whenever they want, and however they want without considering what they are actual speaking over themselves, or others. Don’t get me wrong, I still very much struggle with what I allow my mouth to speak over, however, I am nowhere near what I used to say and do. This topic is one I wish our Church placed an emphasis over, as Proverbs 12:18 says “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.” Join me in this week’s episode, as we learn about the power of our tongue, and the dangers of using it foolishly. 

Happy Monday and welcome back to the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, we are going to be breaking down some of the works of the devil, and what that actually entails. As much as this is not a common topic of conversation within the church, I believe it is so important to distinguish the works of the evil one and what is actually from the Lord. As the world spins, darkness becomes greater than ever before, which is why I believe when we are able to gain an understanding of these works, we are able to use discernment where necessary. I share the most common known works of the devil that the Bible highlights, what these look like in today's world, as well as how this world is now saved from these works, should we use to apply this form of salvation. This episode is not one that goes into specific detail of each and every work of the devil, however, I share my own take of how I see the works of the devil woven into today's world, and what the enemy's main motive is for humanity.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. This week we are going to be talking about the joy of being single. Yes, that’s right, joy!! Society deems singleness to be this lonely, isolating, boring and unhappy season of life. When in actuality, it’s this beautiful, freeing, joyous and exciting season of life. A season you get to grow in your personal relationship with God, a season where you get to learn more about yourself and about what you want in a life partner, and a season that builds you into be an individual who’s not scared or uncomfortable in asking for what they want. Whether it be the pressures of friends, family, culture, or social media, just know that your singleness is a season of life God gets to create the most beautiful version of you. Don’t hurry that process up because often times you can miss out on this beautiful gift. Todays episode is a long one, so strap in, and I hope you can take comfort in knowing that if you are single, THIS IS YOUR TIME! 

Happy Monday and welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode we talk about the importance of surrounding yourselves with good people - and not just good people, but kingdom-minded people. People who chase you towards the kingdom, people who pray over you, people who boost your faith, people who fast for you and encourage you with scripture, people who love the Lord with all their heart, people who are true representatives of Christ... As important as it is to be kind, loving and of service to everyone, just as Jesus was - no matter their beliefs, it is equally as important to recognise who you invest your time and energy into. The older I have gotten, the more intentional I have become in who I share my company with. Although Paul warns the people of Corinth with this specific verse; bad company does corrupt good morals to this day, due to the fact that we still live in a fallen world. Join me as we talk about this verse from Paul, how bad fruit can ruin the whole branch, and the importance of having friends who are on fire for the Lord.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode, we talk about how as Christians, we tend to become so comfortable in waiting on God - not all of the time of course, but we can get too comfortable and say "oh it's a part of God's plan, just waiting on him...". All of that might be true, but what if you've become too comfortable on waiting on God to make his move, that you totally miss out on God waiting on you. Your relationship with God should be this beautiful friendship and partnership. He will most definitely have the best plan for you, but what if there are times in your life that he has supplied all these resources for you to make your move, and you totally miss this incredible window of opportunity. Join me as I share my own experience of what this has looked like for me personally, and more specifically how to discern what is from God, and what is our voice in our head making decisions based on our own emotions and feelings.

Welcome back to another episode of the Bearing Fruit podcast. In this week's episode we are going to be talking about the treacherous storms we go through in life, and how often times we feel as though Jesus is absent through these storms. I know for myself personally, I have questioned why God has allowed these hardships in my life, I have questioned whether anything good will even come out of this painful experience, and I have even at times, questioned if God is even real. The truth is, in hindsight, we understand why we go through certain trials, but what happens when you're going through a storm in the moment and you are on the verge of giving up all hope. In this episode, I share a story of an incredible man named Job in the Bible, who went through his very own storm, and I share the importance of keeping your eyes fixed on the Lord during these storms, because if we do even for a moment remove our eyes from the Lord, we could get swept away.
