Her Portion

Who am I? What should I be known for? What’s God’s will for my life? Did I miss His purpose for me? 

Make Jesus the center of everything, and you will see that you haven’t missed out on anything. 

His calling is to be lived out daily in 100% surrender to bring Him glory and honor, making Him know to all people. 

If you feel broken, start in Ephesians 1. Know God’s heart for you, my Friend!🫶🏼💕

This episode is from our guest, Laurie Billings. Laurie has been a pastor’s wife since 2006, and has such a genuine heart for women. 

Laurie and I became kindred spirits and the best of friends when she invited me to her ladies conference. There I saw her tender heart for God, her sweet spirit, and understanding and genuine concern for people.

One thing I know about Laurie is that she walks with God. Her spirit of prayer changed my life in such a powerful way at how she makes prayer a priority in the everyday. 

I know you are going to be blessed by this episode!

Some of y’all quit church over a Judas. Some of y'all quit over a Martha.
When did the disciples quit? They didn't!
If anyone had a reason to give up on church it was them.

We have to learn to keep our eyes on Who is important and let the other people blur in the sides of our vision.

🎙️ New episode is up.

And stick around until the end for a sneak peek of next month's topic!

Our purpose in studying church hurt should be to protect ourselves from being either the “offender” or the “offendee."

First, we must understand the importance of being involved in a local, Bible believing church. It truly is God’s design for New Testament believers which we can find all throughout Scripture. God’s design for a church is unity in doctrine, service, and purpose. At the same time, God has created each of us to be different with unique personalities, talents, and tastes. It is only through the love of God that so many different people can come together in a church unified for the purpose of sharing the Gospel and edifying one another. 

However, any time people are brought together there is potential for problems…

Yes, the church should be different. We should be different.

Different...not perfect. 

So how can we be careful not to hurt or offend others? How can we be sure that when we are the ones hurt, or offended, that we respond according to the Bible?

Listen as Crystal shares some thoughts on this difficult topic.

Spiritual growth is never comfortable, but it’s  always compassionate. This is a topic that churches can tend to shy away from, but if we are being sensitive to the Holy Spirit we will use understanding through God’s wisdom to restore ones who have been hurt in church. 

Listen to Jackie’s episode as she discusses this topic on church hurt.

Bible study has changed my life more than anything else, period. It’s truly been life-changing. It’s not hard, and it doesn’t have to be intimidating. 

I hope this one episode will help you start studying your Bible if you haven’t started yet. Or  maybe if you feel a little stuck after years of reading your Bible, maybe you will feel renewed in your purpose of the importance of your  personal Bible study. 

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
