The Bible provides many examples of how faith and a positive attitude are central to living a happy life. It states, “All things are possible for the one who believes” and that dwelling on things which are “true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good report,” will result in the peace of God being prevalent in our lives. But what do you do when focusing on positive thoughts isn't quite enough to maintain your joy and peace of mind, or when “believing” alone doesn’t bring about the manifestation of what you've prayed for?

In this episode, entitled, “Faith & Manifestation: A Christian perspective on manifesting your vision,” Pastor René François explores an important faith principle that is often the missing element in our efforts to see the things that we have prayed for come to pass. Pastor René contends that the likelihood of seeing the manifestation of our prayers greatly increases when we make this one important principle part of our faith journey.

The way that we respond to heated situations can have a major impact on our lives in terms of our ability to maintain our peace of mind, as well as our ability to conduct ourselves in a manner that is in accordance with being a citizen of the kingdom of God. In this episode, pastor René provides some useful insights on how we can approach these oftentimes unexpected challenges in a way that preserves our peace along with several tried-and-true tips on how to be proactive in defusing these tense situations.

The Loving Life Podcast with Pastor René François aims to be an encouraging and healing presence to our listeners as well as a source of information on a variety of topics related to faith, relationships, spiritual health, and more. This podcast also strives to provide helpful tips that the listener will be able to apply to his or her own life.

The word of God instructs us to be discerning in our lives and to use wisdom in our decision making. There is a quote that says, “Discernment is the ability to see things for what they really are and not for what you want them to be.” However, this can be particularly challenging when it comes to matters of the heart.  In the haze of love and romance it's easy to lose sight of how things really are because you are so desperately hanging onto the ideal of what you want the relationship to be.  

Dating a narcissist can be an emotionally and spiritually damaging experience that results in long-lasting effects on one's self-esteem and mental health. Narcissists are often very controlling, manipulative people who use a combination of deceit, secrets, and head games such as gaslighting to keep their partners confused and unable to trust their own instincts and emotions. 

The aim of this episode is to help you know what to look for in order to avoid stumbling into the pitfalls of being the next unsuspecting victim of a narcissist.

As Christians, one of the most important things that we can do is to regularly spend time alone with God in solitude praying and meditating upon his word. In this episode, Pastor René talks about the beauty and benefits of re-prioritizing our lives in order to achieve that purpose.

In this episode, Pastor René  encourages listeners to think of the season of Lent in broader terms than “fasting” as it relates to food. He states “The season of Lent provides  us an excellent  opportunity to remove things from our lives, such as the negative emotions of anger and unforgiveness, which are not only self-destructive but are damaging to our relationships with both God and humanity.  “Letting go“ of these negative emotions places is in right-standing with God and leads to living in the abundance of God‘s peace and joy.“

In this podcast, Pastor René delivers a message on how we can increase, or “Supercharge” the effectiveness of our prayers by adding several often overlooked biblical principles to our prayer routine. The benefit is that we will live a more empowered life through prayer and enjoy an overall better quality of life, spiritually and  emotionally.
