Parenting is such a gift but it is also not without its trials too. As believers, we know that it is through Christ that God wants to equip us to parent our children well. Galatians 5 tells us that as Christians we are to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Today, my guest Erica Lerisse joins me to share how the Lord is teaching her to parent in His power vs. the strength of her own flesh. We know that like Corrie Ten Boom once said, "I cannot but Jesus in me can!"

Thanks for tuning in today for our second episode of Season 5, themed "I Cannot but Jesus in Me Can," words that were once spoke by Holocaust survivor and Christian, Corrie Ten Boom. One of the greatest lessons that Corrie spoke of was that because of Christ in her, she was enabled to forgive one of her once Nazi captors. Corrie traveled the world for 30 plus years after the war sharing this lesson of forgiveness made possible through Christ.

As Christians we can become equipped and enabled to extend Christ's forgiveness to others but then can find it hard to receive that same forgiveness for our own sins and short-comings. We become our own worst enemy held back by guilt and shame. Today, my friend Chris Segers joins me to share her story of overcoming her past and how God has enabled her to live a life of freedom from guilt and shame to love Him and serve others.

During the month of December my husband J.R. often preaches a series of Advent sermons that prepare our hearts so well to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. This past Sunday morning he preached the following sermon, "The Significance of the Swaddling Clothes" depicting the wondrous fullfilment of the prophesied Messiah - the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world. I pray that like me you will find yourself moved to worship our Saviour, a miraculous gift to a sin-cursed people. Happy listening friends! May it bring hope to your heart and help from His Word.

Welcome back listeners! Today begins Season 5 of the podcast! We've started this season by inviting Wendy Burks back to the podcast to share the story of Corrie Ten Boom and her courageous witness in the face of evil. Each month after, you can look forward to unique stories of overcoming adversity, healing after an abortion, parenting in the power of the Holy Spirit, one woman's story of battling mental illness and how to respond when life goes off script. I look forward to sharing these episodes with you - the conversations that I will have with women, who like Corrie Ten Boom can say, " I cannot, but Jesus in me can!". Happy listening, friends!

The holidays are quickly approaching and as they do, two words come to mind: hospitality and relationships. Two words that come with both blessings and burdens. Linda Wilkerson joined me for episode 29 in season 2 for a conversation centered around Hospitality: the Gospel Invites us Home. This episode is full of both practical tips and biblical truth to help prepare your heart to receive guests in your home this holiday season. Opposed to preparing our homes to be seen, It's a timely reminder of the importance of preparing our homes to serve. Happy listening friends!

The holidays are quickly approaching and as they do two words come to mind: hospitality and relationships. Two words that come with both blessings and burdens. In season 1 of the podcast, my good friend Julie Tarr joined me to discuss relationships and the topic of "Boundaries and Benefits: God's Plan for Difficult Relationships." This holiday season, for some, may include navigating difficult family dynamics. I can assure you that Julie's testimony and lessons learned will both equip and encourage you as you head to your next family gathering. So perhaps, you're new to the podcast, missed it the first time around or just need a refresher - we wanted to hit the play button again as we prepare our hearts to give thanks and celebrate our Saviour this season. Happy listening friends!
