New episode of Love&BLoved Platform! My guest says: ‘I want others to see the brighter side of the difficult things we go through and how to hold onto hope through it all’. Joining me today is Mae Renfroe.
Mae is a wife & homeschooling mother to 10, Mae Renfroe is passionate about bringing women to a closer & more intimate relationship with God, and encouraging those that have gone through difficult things in life with the hope & love of God's word. From her own experience with loss & grief, ( having lost three family members to sudden death within three years ) she brings new hope, new purpose and new energy to broken hearts with big dreams.
Statistics show child loss can take a serious toll on marriages. "I want to encourage you to stay strong in the Lord for your help and strength as you navigate this journey together. Commit to walking this out together no matter how rocky it gets. Remember you are both grieving, both together and separately in your own ways. Give each other space and grace for that, and look for ways you can support each other in your grieving. But commit that nothing, not even this tragic loss, will separate you. I believe on this new journey you are all walking in, your kids need your strong unit more than they ever have before. Hold them close. And bring them before the Lord."- Mae Renfroe.

I’m excited to share that I’ve graduated from the Christian Leadership Life Coaching program and received 50 hours of coaching and audits, becoming a certified coach. It took time to figure out my niche, but through my experiences as a wife, mother, and survivor of drug addiction and human trafficking, I realized I have a deep passion for helping women navigate major life transitions. Faith has been my foundation, sustaining and protecting me, but I wouldn’t have made it without the support of other women. Now, I want to be that support for others, reminding women that they are not alone, that they are loved, significant, and that their lives are valuable.
That’s why I chose to be a Coach4Women in Transition, helping them navigate changes in relationships, career, and motherhood. I’ve gone through these transitions myself, and I’ve learned how to overcome them with strength and purpose. Now, I want to help other women find balance and clarity through my coaching services and workshops.
If you’re looking for support, encouragement, and guidance, visit my website to learn more about my services and upcoming workshop: ‘Finding Balance in Transitions: Relationships, Career, and Motherhood’.

P.S. Just to clarify, my faith and coaching are not about religion, but about building meaningful relationships. You don’t need to belong to any denomination to be part of my circle. I will love and respect your beliefs and your story. Everything we discuss is completely confidential and built on mutual trust and respect.

Verses I was talking about on this episode
”Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.“
Ephesians 6:10-12 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/eph.6.10-12.NIV
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

New episode of Love&BLoved Podcast/YouTube! “Christmas Addition” My guest says: “I will put on my preacher hat today ” Joining me today is Reverend Mark Sowersby. Pastor Mark has been an ordained minister with Assembly of God for over 26 years and is currently the Pastor of Calvary Community Church in Dudley, MA.
For a while I was planing to have this kind of conversation where I ask my guest common faith based questions and share my story of forgiveness as well. When I recorded our conversation with pastor Mark, and heard his story of overcoming, check out previous episode, “Forgiving The Nightmare”, I knew he is the perfect person to ask these questions. No matter where you stand with your faith you can benefit from this conversation. Maybe you know all this but maybe, like me, you will learn something new.
On today’s episode Pastor Mark and I will discuss:

Salvation Prayer for those of you who wants to explore relationship with God
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior.”
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.”
