In today's podcast, Beth Jones interviews Paulette MacQuarrie, Radio Show Host and Author. Paulette recently published a unique cookbook, Ukrainian Food Flair: Authentic Recipes from Canada's West Coast.

This cookbook celebrates the vibrant culinary heritage of Sylvia Molnar, a beloved educator and well-known figure on Vancouver’s culinary scene.

Within these pages is a treasury of genuine Ukrainian recipes—a heartfelt tribute to Sylvia’s memory.

In this podcast, Beth and Paulette also dive into Paulette's interesting career as a radio show host and podcaster, ghost writer, and now a publisher/author.

We discuss how God inspires our hearts with dreams and how He helps us to make those dreams come true--even if it takes longer than we thought! Never stop dreaming and going after your dreams! God is the Dream Giver and the Dream Fulfiller.

Are you following Jesus, or looking at the other disciple?

In John 21:22, Jesus commanded Peter to follow Him, after Peter asked Jesus, "What about him?" (referring to the other disciple). Jesus told him not to worry about John.

You and I don't need to worry about what other people are doing and saying, but to keep our eyes on Jesus and to stay in our lane, following and obeying Him.

We need to let go of our loved ones who may not be saved yet or who are backslidden, and let God, entrusting them to His merciful, gracious care. The same God who reached out to you and me and saved and delivered us can do the same for your and my loved ones.

You follow Jesus.

Verses:

Matthew 28:19

Matthew 3:13-17

John 21:22

Hebrews 12:2

Technology is always changing. I am doing a test video podcast on Riverside.fm since Spotify now uses Riverside.fm for people to record video podcasts and audio only podcasts. Testing to see if this time works.

I'm testing Riverside.fm for video and audio only podcasts.

The Queen of Sheba came to King Solomon as she heard of his great wisdom and wanted to meet him and see the riches of his kingdom. But she didn't come or leave empty handed; in fact, she left with more than she brought for him! Recently, I flew to attend minister Kay Nash's prophetic women's conference in Fort Meyers, Florida. Kay and her other two anointed speakers, Jennifer Moore and Kimberly Moses, did great teachings on the Queen of Sheba, Queen Esther, and the Proverbs 31 woman. I also share in this episode about the Crowne Plaza beautiful hotel where I stayed for the conference, the Fort Meyers beach where I got to go to and relax for a little while (the beach is my place of happiness), and the new friend I met there, Stephanie. I observed everything that Kay and her speakers did for this amazing conference, which was done with such excellence.

Recently I flew from Kansas City, Missouri to Fort Meyers, Florida to attend Minister Kay Nash's prophetic women's conference on Saturday. I knew that the day before, Friday, was the only time I would have to go to the beach/ocean, which is my place of happiness and peace. I reserved an Uber ride before I left for my trip to pick me up at the airport to go straight to the beach. I was so excited when I got to the beach, that I got distracted and left my travel purse in the back seat of the Uber where I was sitting, with everything in it - my iPhone, my driver's license, my passport, my keys, over $200 cash, my bank cards, and papers printed out for my hotel and plane flights' info. God did a miracle with my purse and I still got to the beach a little while. He is so good. Tune into hear this amazing story.

Cinderella went from rags to royalty, and not only did she dance with the handsome Prince at the big ball, but she winded up marrying him! God has so much more for you and me than we can even think or imagine.

He has chosen and called us to greatness in His Kingdom, using you and me in powerful ways for Jesus' glory. Listen as I share 3 points from the story of Cinderella about how to step into your royal position through faith in Jesus.
