Candy Gibbs's Podcast

Join my good friend, Meagan Brown, and I as we talk about the difference between being "nice" and being "kind" and how that plays out in our day to day lives! True Biblical kindness leads to us to action, which ultimately allows for the demonstration of the Gospel!!

This month, we begin a series on "Brotherly Kindness!" My dear friend, Chonda Brent and I discuss the difference between being "nice" and being "kind" and how that plays out in our relationships. Hear how Chonda's application of kindness through honest, yet sometimes difficult conversations, has resulted in some of her greatest friendships.

Have you ever found yourself stuck feeling offended at people or at God? The word "offense," actually means, "bait-stick." It's a trap of the enemy that leads to un-forgiveness and bitterness. In a culture that is offended about anything and everything, it's vital as believers that we guard our heart diligently. This week, Jake challenges us to release offenses and walk in forgiveness with others, ourselves, and toward God to ultimately walk in complete freedom! 

Candy wraps up this series talking about the Apostle Paul. There are few found in the Word with such a radical transformation than that of Paul! From being blinded spiritually, physically, and bound to a religious spirit; to leading the charge as one of the most profound leaders and evangelists in the New Testament. There is truly not one outside the reach of Christ and His transformative power!

Let these truths sink deep and run free into all Christ made you to be! Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!! 

In part 3 of the series, Candy addresses the issue of shame and its attempt to keep us trapped in isolation and bondage. His Word says, "confess your sins one to another so that you may be healed." He has already forgiven us, but our sinful choices result in wounds requiring His healing touch. According to scripture, that healing is found in confessing in the company of trusted believers. 

The enemy preys on those who are isolated and he uses shame as his sheepdog. Don't fall in his trap! His Word says the accuser of the brethren has been cast down! We overcome when we take hold of the authority found in His sacrificial blood and testify of what He has delivered us from! Rise up today and come out of the shadows of shame into the light of His freedom!

This week, we look at the life of Jonah as we continue the, "No Longer Bound" series. When we don’t quickly obey we force the lord to turn the heat up and put the pressure on. Could it be our discomfort is the result of His grace to draw us into freedom? He is in it to restore and see us free, to see us to accomplish what he’s called us to! Don't resist Him, when He asks, "do you want to be well?" be ready to respond with an emphatic, "yes!" 

This week, my dear friends, Brian and Julie Sims share the ins and outs of raising Godly children, learning to truly love people, and establishing the standard of "Godliness" as a family in both the big and small. Their story is one of true faith!

This month we are focusing on the topic of Freedom. The truth is, as believers, we have already been set free by the blood of Jesus! We have the choice of whether we receive it and walk in it! Are you battling depression, anxiety, feeling paralyzed by fear? Then this is for you! There is freedom for you today, the opportunity to truly walk and live, "no longer bound!"

Don't miss this week's episode with one of my dear friends and brother's, Pastor Stan Cosby. With decades of pastoring under his belt, Stan's wisdom and insight into truly living a godly life, is bar none. We talk about the state of our world and our role as christians to be set apart, bold in faith, and not be silent!

This week, Tiago, Missions Pastor at The Church at Bushland, joins us! Born and raised in Brazil, Tigao and his wife, Nina, followed God's call in the middle of Covid to begin the process of moving to the U.S. God miraculously opened the door for them and continues to do so time and again! You do not want to miss his story and the testimony of miracles he's encountered by trusting in and conforming to the wishes and desires of our good Father!
