Foundations and Faith

The end of the year is upon us and many of us are but lepherd crawling to the finish line. It is no secret that we are tired, burnt out and anxious BUT is that the way we HAVE to finish our year, or is there another way? 

Today Caitlyn shares her heart on how we can reclaim our power in this season despite our feelings.

Enjoy,

To Walk out on the Water takes faith but many of us may be jumping too quickly to do those BIG things that we feel called to. When we look at the life of Jesus, we see that He priorities intimate times with the Lord far above what He places on the life He lives on earth. Today Caitlyn shares with you the sermon she just did at Olive Tree Church in Kloof, where she preached on the topic Pray, and then walk out on water.

Faith doesn't exclude us from suffering. Rather, it, along with time spent with our Father, equips us to face the storms that lie ahead of us. Hope on the other hand is so difficult to cling to when our circumstances don't speak to an end result that we long for. In today's episode, Caitlyn chats to Jaci Mun- Gavin, a local speaker, pastor and author. Jaci shares her heart-wrenching story and how God gave her a message of hope to cling to despite her circumstances. It is a beautiful episode that will no doubt have you in tears but too one that challenges each of us on a deep level, and reminds us of the eternal hope we have in Jesus. 

Procrastination, the art of putting things off until a later date or even shelving ideas and dreams. I personally feel that the timing for this interview with pastor and speaker, Ang Keyter, couldn't be better. Many of us find ourselves exiting a world that was locked down and yet still we can't find it in ourselves to start new ventures, to dream new dreams, to un-shelf that which we've buried. Today Ang shares with us her personal experience with procrastination, what God has placed on her heart around why we park in a space of procrastination and how we can move out this space whilst still guarding our capacity.

Each of us has dreams and desires but even with full knowledge of these, it takes deep bravery to pursue these. Today I chat to Jodi, founder of Connected, an outreach program connecting people of society that have been forgotten, to a life of faith, love and fullness. I love her honesty and boldness and I personally have been so challenged by her message. I have no doubt you'll love this episode and its my hope that you'll find courage through Jodi's story to pursue YOUR dreams too!

We all have bad days, days when we doubt ourselves, our purpose and our worth. After reading a blog post by Laiela describing such a day, after which making the statement, 'I reminded myself that I have a shield that protects me from such darts… did I leave it behind somewhere?', I knew I had to get her onto this podcast channel. Today Laeila and I chat about the personal darts that have been fired at each of us recently, by the enemy, and how the need for a shield is every present. Laiela goes on to share with us some biblical background on shields and how this simple piece of scripture is in fact far more powerful than we may have previously realised. 

Life can often feel like one long train ride. Over the mountain tops and through the valleys we go, sometimes off course and then back again but in the end in each season of life we live and we learn and we come out better. Mordecai urges Esther in Esther 4: 13 - 14 “… who knows, if it is for a time like this that you have become queen?” 

Today I chat through this scripture and how time and time again I've felt like my life and career have been for such a time as this; only for the season to pass and a valley to follow. I go on to share 3 points on this topic of vague goals and how our lifelong journey matters more than we think.
