Hey Friends, it’s that time AGAIN! Your questions meet the podcast.Blog/podcast show notes can be read here:https://courageousradiance.com/2022/09/05/episode-114It’s Talk About it Tuesday. This is an opportunity to answer some questions or just talk about all of the things that may be at your door step, making it’s way to your couch or festering within your heart. But, through the lens of Christ is how we ought to find our answers.Jesus is our Savior. Even if the Bible doesn’t specifically speak to a issue, it’s God’s redemptive story, full of principles and God’s rescue mission for us. We can glean from it and are transformed by it.Today let’s kick off by defining what authenticator we should use to grow in wisdom. What we use to identify ourselves will either help to encourage our surrender to Christ, or hinder due to the attempt to validate apart from the Creator. As 1 Corinthians 10:23 says, all things may be permissible, but it being beneficial requires God to lead & guide us. Whether we are discussing the questions in this episode or other unanswered ones, the Holy Spirit is a trustworthy Teacher. Scripture is grounding & reliable. Head to the blog for more!

Consider the lemonade stand on a hot day, you stop and support the child and get your need met. What about if you drove by and saw a sign marketing for your marriage to get better, would you stop? The marriage formula wouldn’t be complicated in context, but in execution it would require some things from you. 1) Surrender to God and 2) Realizing the foundation and purpose of marriage. What if your marriage, even if it is jacked up, is the best thing that could happen to you? What if God knew you would choose the worst guy, yet grow you. Could God have allowed you to go your own way with the purpose to prune and stretch you? Marriage is more than what you think. First off, it is about God’s glory, not our convenience. Furthermore, it works for you even when it isn’t working. Tune in via any podcast or video today!!

Hey friend!New month! Are you excited about the new adventures ahead?! While our lives and even the season may be shifting, let’s grab our anchor and break into the rock and foundation we build from; which is Christ. Our footing flows from a place of stability, contentment, peace and joy. Why?! How?! Glad you asked! It’s because of Who identifies us. I will never fly to a destination, achieve an award, acquire enough money in my bank account, or hear enough applause that will substitute the weight of my identity and worth in Christ alone.

Have you ever broken down, to the smallest level, what you are praying and asking God for? For me, sometimes everything is swirling in my head, but I haven’t truly thought through what I think I want, and I haven’t really believed God for it. Do you believe God for your heart desires? He has an answer for them. It may be a few different answers, but believe that not only does He have an answer, but it is the BEST for you. His will is in alignment with the greater purpose of the kingdom. One thing that encourages me, and I pray it does for you, is that God already knows what we want before we ask, and His love crosses all boundaries! I’m excited for you to listen in!

Hey friend-Week 3 is here! We are in this month of discussing what prayer is about and how to implement it into our daily lives. This week is all about cultivating a grateful heart. Thankfulness is a lifestyle we adopt & discipline ourselves for. Our grateful hearts radiate into dark places and reveal the light within us, which is Jesus Christ.Maybe this season, or compilation of seasons makes it impossible to practice gratitude. The Bible invites us to live like this, yet our real problems cloud our ability to execute.How do you stay grateful? Even in times of sorry. Let’s jump into this discussion, about how thankfulness in our prayer life correlates to our mindset. Thanks for joining! Please subscribe to the blog:www.courageousradiance.com and the podcast. By subscribing to the blog, each month you will get God-resources to your inbox!I am excited about messages I have with women via the Facebook group ‘Courageous Radiance’ and IG @courageousradiance.
