Courageous Radiance

Hi friend! It’s that time again!

Yes, we are talking about it. Today, I want to share a story from someone who is in the middle of marital mess. She is undergoing verbal and emotional abuse, not to mention the overall reality of failed marriage expectations.

Hebrews 11:1 defines faith “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

What do you do? Do you decide for yourself? Do you seek God?

Let’s talk about it!

Connect with me on IG @courageousradiance and join the Facebook Courageous Radiance group. It would be an honor to pray for you and hear about what you want to share!

How is your heart friend?

When the heat turns up, or during defeatist times, is your heart okay?

Jesus cares about you. He adores you. Let that marinate.

I know for me, especially in troubling circumstances, God’s love feels far away. The concept of God’s love can sometimes seem foreign for non-believer and believer alike. But, His love is enduring and it is timeless.

In the life of Hannah, we can read her story, and quite possibly, or at least I hope, feel her heartache. 1 Samuel 1:1-19.

Hannah’s agony and desperation doesn’t end in defeat friend! Like us, and everyone who has Jesus as an anchor, we can experience victory in spite of obvious times of defeat.

In Jesus Christ, we can shift our circumstantial suffering, hurt, and disappointment to a new experience with God.

Victory carved out in the middle is heat proofed & tested so that no enemy or trouble can remove it’s reality.

Friend, are you ready for an unshakable victory?

Please share how you are doing in the middle times and if there are any praise report victories. Also, subscribe to the podcast and blog (www.courageousradiance.com).

I’d like to connect with you on Instagram @courageousradiance!

Joining the podcast this week is Tara Davis, she is a very close friend. Tara and her husband lead a non-for- profit company called The Haven Marriage, which is all about helping marriages to grow and become stronger. She is also a mother of 3 children.

As wives, we face challenges within both ourselves and the marriage. Join our discussion of Abigail, whose account is in 1 Samuel 25.

Abigail’s marriage to Nabal was far from happy, and her challenges came to a collision with her household’s fate to be wiped out due to the ignorance of her husband.

What should she do? What would you do? How do you intercede, yet remain in alignment with God.

In Mark 8:34, we are called to deny ourselves, accept our crosses, and follow Jesus. Following God transforms us, and sets us apart. This distinction becomes our navigation, our North Star, in the spectrum of horrible to great marriages.

Thanks for tuning in!

Hi Friend! 💜

Each of us is brave in our own way and I’m so grateful to share the “let’s talk about it” story of my brave friend Stephanie.

Stephanie is up against a boulder that rolled down the hill of the enemy into her campsite. What does she do? How should she respond to the boulder called infidelity and abandonment?

In Matthew 19, there is an account of Jesus’s position on divorce and marriage. As anchored women, we do well when we seek what God says above anyone else, ourselves included.

Jesus sets the record straight as to why the decree of divorce was even given by Moses. But, y’all, this is hard!!! There is no judgment and in Christ there is certainly no condemnation (Romans 8-1.)

How do we guard our hearts against bitterness, fear and the feeling of failure?

In Stephanies story, just like there are others, the courageous thing means dealing with all that comes with this pain. However, God can redeem our pain and there is never anything lost when we remain connected to God,

I’m so thankful that we have a faithful Shepherd in spite of the circumstances we have to walk through. Stephanie is boldly believing God, and I am cheering her own in her faith.

Hey friend! Glad you made it this week, it’s week 3 of being Set Apart.

Influence and influencer are trending as how we identify ourselves and even occupations.

God is the Influence by which we can influence; everything flows from Him. Living in His influence means accepting and bossing up the resume to include “ambassador.” We are distinguished within society, as believers, or at least we should be.

Our lives, habits and goals should look different. This week we are talking about being set apart, through the life of Jehoshabeath/Jehosheba in 2 Chronicles 22:10-12.

Jehosheba may seem, by little mentioning, insignificant, but her life greatly & impacted the Kingdom of God.

Jehosheba was faithful, brave and compassionate to the purposes of God. She embodies faithful and distinguished living.

What an amazing daughter, wife, aunt, princess and woman of God to know more about! Tune in friend!

Thanks friend, praying for you!

Let’s kick off “Talk About it Tuesday”!

Whether it’s a vulnerability moment, praise opportunity, or sharing what’s going on with you, I would love to hear your moment to talk it out!

This week I’ll start by sharing what is on my heart, and a vulnerability moment. Tune in!

Matthew 11:28, Jesus invites our heart, mind, and body to a spiritual rest in Him. There is no vacation, retirement, wealth, workout or sedative substitute for this Jesus type rest!

He may not free you from the pain, but He promises to help with the burden, and to give us a spiritual reprieve in the middle of it all. Y’all! He literally takes our broken, haggard, and toast burnt and replenishes our soul.

Whether married or single, my husband joins the podcast to discuss ways that every marriage can thrive. These tools with strengthen your marriage. For those who are single with or without any prospect of marriage, or if anyone is engaged, these tips can greatly impact your view of marriage.

This is a tough discussion for those married and in what feels like the desert. If you are at the end of your rope, I pray that God’s clarity and provision meet you in this rough area.

If your marriage is already thriving, amazing! There is always room for our marriage to go from good to great and great to greater.

1 Peter 2:9, our marriages are meant to be distinguished. Our set apart mindset anchors us into the reason why, which gives us a shared vision.

Marriage struggles? Marriage apathy? No marriage vision? Tune in today for how our marriage was meant to be set apart from the “normal” way of doing things.

Hey friend hey!

Early week check in with your heart! I know I have been ridiculously hard on myself for dropping the ball here, unable to be stretched there, and just overall feeling like there’s more to do.

Y’all! Pause! Time out. Read Psalm 91:1-2 and let those verses wash over you and fill you. God is your save space, even if the attack is from within you!

Give yourself grace friend. Know you are loved immensely.

How are you doing? No, like…really?
