In this episode of Tethered to Eternity, Noelle shares her personal journey of standing firm in her Christian beliefs while navigating bullying, loss of friendships, and cultural pressures. I share how my past experiences with bullying and rejection were part of God’s preparation to help her grow stronger in her faith. She wants to encourage you to stay rooted in Christ, even when it’s difficult, and offers practical advice for remaining true to God’s Word in a world that often disagrees with it.

“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”

“‘Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.’

Then I said, ‘Ah, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.’

But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, ‘I am only a youth’; for to all to whom I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.

Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you, declares the Lord.’”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

In this episode, Noelle dives into the pro-life movement from the perspective of bold Gen Z women. From the dark influence of occult practices around abortion to a Christian understanding of life and the image of God, this video explores crucial topics surrounding the sanctity of life. She discusses the biblical perspective on abortion, human sacrifice, and why Christians should stand up for the unborn.

Join Noelle as she unpacks the fear many feel in speaking out on abortion, especially within college culture, and why being pro-life is a matter that goes beyond politics—it’s a God issue.

Today, Abigail basically applies the Counteract USA model to Christmastime: What are the themes we see in so many of the traditions and movies and music during this time of year? What do words like “light,” “joy,” “hope,” and “believe” say about our deeper desire or admiration for those things (that can ultimately only be fulfilled in a relationship with Jesus Christ)? Where does the gospel fit into all of it?
