Leaving the Shallows

In this week’s episode, we sat down with Christina Campos and Nadia Bradley to discuss the topic of transitions. Everyone goes through transitions. Some big and some small. But we can’t escape the changes that come our way. There is a tension that comes with transitions. The key is how well we navigate them. 

God likes to work in the middle of transitions to take us where He wants us to be. This really has to do with our relationship with Him growing deeper. He wants us to know Him in a greater way. The emotions we feel are very real in these places. It’s not always how we start out in a transition that matters but where we end up that will determine how well we land. 

Can’t wait for you to tune in!

Today we are beginning a series from the book of Nehemiah. There is so much wisdom to apply to our lives from this Old Testament book. 

Join Jackie and Heather as we sit down and have a conversation around the concept of pausing. What does this mean to pause and wait on God? How do we take steps in our everyday lives to live in the pause. Why is it important to pause and wait on God? Nehemiah did this well and gives us the tools to do the same. 

Waiting on God to give us the revelation we need in any situation allows us to move forward in His power, authority, and wisdom. Waiting requires faith, trust, and obedience and the fruit it produces is immeasurable.

Let’s learn to pause before we make major life decisions and even before we share that next comment on social media. So, grab your cup of coffee and join us! 

In this week’s episode we sat down with Christie Morrow of EDG Coffee. She is the VP of sales and a Q coffee grader. We are so excited for you to hear her story of how God called her to partner with Nicaragua, Mountain Gateway Missionaries, and coffee. She shares her story of how God interrupted her life and the amazing work He is doing in the beautiful coffee farm God had showed her in a dream. 

Have you ever been interrupted to follow God down a path you would have never guessed? To lay it all down and follow God at all cost? God is in the details and is looking for willing vessels to build His Kingdom. We know ou will be blessed by this story!

In this week’s episode Jackie and Heather discuss the topic of homeschooling. Are you a long-time homeschooler? First year homeschooler? Just thinking about homeschooling? Then you don’t want to miss this episode. We get honest and open about the daily grind of homeschooling as we share our hearts with the ups and downs. Maybe homeschooling isn’t just about teaching your kids at home. Maybe God has a lot more in store for us as we embark on this journey with Him. This is sure to encourage you on your journey no matter where you are! We can't wait for you to join in on this weeks conversation!

In this week's episode, we sat down with one of our Truth:Freedom Writers and had a conversation about the time she heard the audible voice of God. Yes, God sometimes speaks to people audibly! Holly Whitehurst shares her testimony about how she began to really hear from God during one of her most painful moments. If you have ever found yourself in the midst of a painful divorce then you don’t want to miss this episode. If you have ever wondered where God is during uncertain times then you don’t want to miss this episode.  Have you ever been disobedient and took matters into your own hands and wondered if you messed up too much for God to still help you-then you don’t want to miss this episode.  Holly’s story is about a forgiving, loving, and a gently leading Father. She learned that through surrender, humility, and forgiveness, God still had something wonderful for her. 

In this episode, we are also wrapping up our series on hearing God’s voice. If you haven’t had time yet to listen to this series we encourage you to do so. So many stories and perspectives were shared on how we hear from God. You will be so encouraged and convicted to linger with Jesus to hear from Him!

Do you wish that you heard God more often and more clearly? Do you often wonder why other people hear from God and you don't? Do you wonder if God is even speaking to you?  If you answered yes to the questions above, we know you will be encouraged and equipped to hear God more in your life through this week's episode. Join us this week as Jackie has a conversation with Pastor Wayne Boersma (Jackie's dad!) about how every single person can hear God speak to them through the avenue of scripture. You will get to hear story after story of how God has spoken to Jackie and Pastor Wayne through scripture. We can't wait for you to join in on this week's conversation!

In this week's episode we are continuing our conversation about the different ways in which God speaks to us. This week's conversation is going to be focusing on how God can speak to us through our friends or even through random people we have never met! In this episode, Heather and Jackie will be joined by their good friend Paula. They will each be talking about how God has often prompted them to step out in faith and give words to people they knew as well as to people they have never met before. 

Have you ever felt prompted to give someone a word? We know full well that it can be nerve wracking to take that step out and actually give the word! We hope that through this episode you will be encouraged and equipped to keep stepping out when God gives you a word for someone. We also hope this encourages those of you who are wanting to know more about how God speaks and how just like in the bible God spoke through the prophets, He continues to speak to people today through people! 

In today’s episode of the The Truth:Freedom Conversations Podcast we sit down with our friend Evelyn. We are continuing on in our series of Hearing God’s Voice. We explore the concept of journaling as a means of hearing from God. Are you a journaler? Maybe it is something you have thought about but haven’t fully understood how to get started.  Words are important to God as a means of how He communicates with us. It’s His still small voice that speaks to us as we write down His thoughts to us. So grab your cup of coffee because you don’t want to miss this episode.  

The two books that we mention in this series are , “The Prophetic Voice of God” by Lana Vawser and "The Divinity Code” by Adam F. Thompson & Adrian Beale. These are books we highly recommend as great resources on your journey of hearing God’s voice. 

We are so excited today to introduce our new series about hearing God’s voice. Did you know that God speaks to us in many different ways? God speaks to us through His scriptures, through other Christians, dreams/visions, signs/wonders, and even audibly. This is often classified in 4 categories: hearers, knowers, feelers, and seers. Join us over the next few weeks as we explore these different ways in which God speaks to us. 

In today's episode, we are having a conversation about the topic of dreams and visions. Are you a dreamer? If not, have you ever asked God to speak to you in this way? In Acts 2:17 we read, “ In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” This isn’t just for the people back when this scripture was written, but also for everyone of us since that day! Make no mistake God is speaking to us today! Do you trust that you hear from Him? We can’t wait for you to join in on the conversation with us today! 

In this week’s episode we sit down with Madie Hessler, who is one of our Truth:Freedom Ministry contributors. This is our final episode in our identity series-we so hope you have enjoyed it. Our conversation with Madie was so encouraging to us and we know it will bless you too. Madie shares how she traded her identity in worldly pursuits, especially in men, for who God said she was instead. She shares how she went from the feeling of complete emptiness and not loving herself, to filling full and being able to love the person who looked back at her in the mirror. She also talks about the importance of finding our identity in God vs finding it in a man. If you have ever gone through a season of trying to fill your heart with things other than God or found yourself going from guy to guy to be filled, then this episode is for you!
