Everything about GOD is HOLY. & today as we continue in our PRAYER SERIES we are joined by the lovely Gabrielle Mccullough as we talk about holiness, and how confession of our sins brings us closer to God, and one another. 

Gabrielle  is a 21-year-old, Minnesota born and raised, evangelist and bible teacher who is eager about reaching all people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Her greatest passion is to specifically fight for her generation to be found faithful by knowing God, fearing God, and loving God, so that they would live a life consecrated by holiness.

She currently resides in Waco, TX where she has the privilege of being on mission with the local body at Harris Creek Baptist Church. When she’s not with her college ministry girls, you can find her sipping on a latte, searching for vintage antiques, or doing something fun and creative with her husband Cooper!

In this episode we chat about...
-The freedom found in confessing darkness to the light 
-The importance of being all who God has called us to be in this generation 
-Why holiness as believers in Jesus is curtail to our walk with Him 
-Gabby's prayer for our generation 
-What Brie, and Georgia have personally struggled with and how they move forward with repentance 

I pray this episode blesses you and meets you right where you're at. God is so good. & everything about Him is HOLY. & because of His goodness, and holiness--being made in His image and likeness, as His children, we are called to the same! What a beautiful process. 

You're so loved. I'm grateful for this journey with YOU!

A NEW Christina film is hitting the big screen THIS WEEKEND!

I am beyond honored to introduce to you, Jeffrey Smith, the director of the new film, SOUTHERN GOSPEL.

This film is about the REAL LIFE STORY of Samuel Allen, a 1960's rockstar, finds himself in jail after struggling with years of anger and blame toward organized religion that has led him down a road of rebellion. In a moment of divine intervention, the judge dismisses drug charges against him under the pretense that Samuel speaks to local schools and churches about the dangers of drugs. Given a second chance, he follows in his father's footsteps to become a preacher, overcoming the influence of a powerful church leader with a personal vendetta against his family.

This film is PG-13 as it doesn't sugar coat the consequences for your actions when it comes to HARD drugs and alcohol. Personally, I would recommend this to a mature audience... late teens and up! :) 
Click HERE for the trailer! 

In this BONUS episode, Mr. Jeffrey & I talk about...
-the beauty of filmmaking 
-how important it is for us as Christians to put beauty into this world 
-how the entertainment industry has changed over the past few decades
-what makes this film, Southern Gospel , special 


Y'all know I LOVEEE movies! They're just so fun. Growing up, my dad and I always got a large popcorn and shared a large sprite and we'd have two straws poking out the top of the lid. Those are some of my favorite memories. It's sweet because I'll be HOME the weekend this movie releases and I can't wait to see it with my dad... who's an AWESOME guitar player. He loves music so much! This film will be fun for him, too! 

Love y'all! See ya FRIDAY as we continue in our prayer series!

It's quite the lie we believe that WE are in control. And many of us live like we are. The more we feed into this lie, the more we become our own, little g god. YIKES.
FRIENDS--Let's avoid this at allll costs!

Today we are chatting with Tara Sun, a sweet sister in the LORD who has learned the beauty of SURRENDERING YOUR STORY. There is  freedom to be found as we  in trust Gods timing with our stories. We can trade control for profound peace, and REAL joy through CHRIST! 

In this episode we chat about...
-Exposing the enemies lies about control
-Tara's story of surrendering her will for His
-How surrendering control is a beautiful life long, daily choice and process 
-How Tara heard the audible voice of God tell her, "You're not supposed to be here" 
-The joys of letting God write your story 
-The freedom that follows with exchanging your good, for His best! 

I pray this episode encourages, equips you, and inspires you to let go, and let GOD do His thing in and through your life! Just as we echo the prayer, "THY WILL BE DONE"!

The early 2000s brought us the Left Behind film series with Kirk Cameron
2014 brought us Left Behind with Nicholas Cage
