She gives 6 points along with some bible verses that can help us hang on during the process of being consistent. We can remain faithful to the lord and firm in our faith through the process. When we feel like giving up, together, let us get back up and continue to move forward.

On this episode Ali talks about Intentional prayer along with our throughout the day Spontaneous prayer. She gives about 6 points to help us jump start or pick back up on our prayer life. The verse that carries this episode is Mark 1:35. Use the verse as a guide/example to get away from all the distractions to have some quiet time. Some time carved out of our day to press into Jesus and pray!

On this Episode Ali talks about a time when she had a hard time viewing others in the image that God created us. She brings up a few points about how we as humans are crafted in Gods image and likeness. How we reflect His image mentally morally and socially. Enjoy!

On this episode, Ali tells some personal stories to share with us a part of who God designed her to be in hopes for others to discover a part of who God designed them to be.

There are some things that can hold us back from living out certain parts of who we are. For example: situations we go through that try to hold us back, attacks we may face, or when we experience/feel the opposite of who we are called to be. Listen to this episode to hear her story about how she recognized that sadness tried to taint the joy she is called to experience and live out!

"Rejoice Always" is the verse she encourages us to hold on to in 1 Thessalonians 5:16. This helped her hold on to Joy, a part of her identity that the Lord shared with her. Even through the trials we can lean on the truth in scripture to carry us through.

On this Episode Ali asks a few questions. "Do we believe God hears us? Do we believe God knows our hearts? Do we believe He is in the details and takes care of the details?"

She shares some stories and testimonies to help us see that the Lord is a personal God. One who hears us and speaks to us. We can walk away from this episode with confidence and hopefully the ability to answer YES to these questions.

On this episode Ali talks about servanthood. She asks us to ponder the question "What does Godly servanthood look like?"

She mentions points that can represent some aspects of Godly servanthood... one of the main points is being spirit led in our service and serving others with love while also being dedicated and devoted TO GOD!!! Receiving God's heart for others really helps us serve them well. Let's pray for that together?

We should be careful, so that our self worth does not come from how much we serve or who we serve! What is our motive in serving others?

On this episode Ali talks about seasons changing and how sometimes it can be challenging to adjust but needed at times. The 2 things that do not change are the Lord's Word and His Love.

Through this episode there is one quote we can hang on to that can be an encouragement to us, when we may need it most, "Though the Seasons Change His Love Remains." An interesting point made with this phrase is that we can use it as a prayer or say it in our daily conversations. "Though the seasons change Your love remains" (when talking with God) and "Though the seasons change His love remains" (when sharing with others).

On this episode Ali talks about when hardship hits and we experience bad thoughts we should lean on others in our community. We have become more comfortable with being "independent" and walking through life like we are "all good" most of the time. Some people may not know how to be there for us but it is important to be honest and communicate what may be going on.

Connection and relationship building can be a cure for many things (along with building our relationship with Jesus). We can learn to bear each others burdens, to be real, and to grow while we build the kingdom. Together! Rather than walking through the day to day in the dark, alone or away from others.

As we connect with others we can walk towards Jesus. Then the dark heaviness is not just ours to carry. We can feel lighter while we share life together.

The Fight for Connection in the Midst of Isolation!

No more isolation!

much love! reach out if you ever need support!

On this episode Ali talks about Phil 4:5-7 and what it looks like to run to the father instead of sitting in our anxious feelings and thoughts. When the Lord is trying to speak something to us he tends to bring it up multiple times and for Ali this has been the case with these verses. Join us on this episode with some testimonies and diving deeper into these verses. We will learn why prayer with thanksgiving is so important and to make our request known to the Lord is something we should have confidence in. Why? Because the Lord cares for us. He cares about the details, even when we forget about the details. We can turn to the Lord with our anxious thoughts!
