Good and Glory

Many times we hear people speak on the parable of the sower found in Matthew 13-18-23 but today, I want to look at verses 13-16 and also the parable of the weeds found in Matthew 13:24-30. These few verse are quite applicable to our daily lives and dealing with those who are not believers but yet have a place in our every day.

You know, I tried but I just couldn't end the year without one more podcast. This one is special to my heart. I wanted to share how Jesus and I walked through this year and just a tiny bit of the lessons I learned. I pray this brings you a glimpse of what a life full of Jesus would be like - if you don't already know. 

Join me as I share my personal year with Jesus. If you would like the share a little bit about yours, I would love to hear it. You can email me at [email protected] 

Until next time - may the grace of Jesus be with you!

Fear is something we have all faced this year. Election week alone is something we are possibly fearful of. But, as Christians, we are called to walk in boldness and not hide out in fear. Let's talk about fear vs walking with the Holy Spirit for a little bit.

Shame - it holds us under and keeps us from seeing our own potential through Christ. It wants to drown us and keep us from moving forward. But God wants to redeem and use us. So, let's talk about shame and how we can walk away from it once and for all!

Where do you find yourself - thinking all things are black and white or hanging out in the gray areas? Today, we will talk about those shades of gray and if we are ok as Christians living in those shades!

Relationships are essential for life but aren't always easy. Let's talk about a few things that can make or break relationships and why it's important to work at them.
