"It's TIME to Get Up from the Table" - A Journey of Faith and Relationships - Part 1

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the intertwining of faith and relationships, delving into personal stories that highlight the challenges and rewards of both. Celebrating 24 years of marriage, I share the journey my husband and I have taken—marked by loss, love, and growth. As I attempt to document our milestone anniversary, I grapple with the tension between my desire to create something meaningful and God's gentle nudge to focus on Him.

This episode reflects on the need for intentionality in both marriage and spiritual life. Drawing lessons from John 13, where Jesus washes the disciples' feet, we explore how love and service require purposeful action, especially when the initial excitement fades. Ultimately, this episode challenges us to not just gather knowledge but to actively apply it, ensuring our faith shapes our relationships with God and those around us. It's a call to rise from the table and live out our faith with intention and love.

Welcome to our podcast, where we dive deep into the journey of learning to love yourself and love God. In this space, we explore what it means to walk in obedience to God, even when it costs you friendships or puts you at odds with the world. The Bible reminds us that when you choose to follow God, there will be those who don't understand or even dislike you—sometimes simply because your presence brings conviction.

We'll discuss how loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind isn't just about feelings—because, let’s face it, our feelings don't always align with God's truth. It's about understanding what God requires of us and how that impacts the way we treat ourselves and others.

Through stories from Scripture and real-life examples, like Abraham's struggle with Sarah's barrenness and the challenges of trusting God's promises, we’ll see how these ancient truths are still relevant today. It's all connected—learning to love God, loving ourselves, and making choices that honor both.

Join us as we explore how to navigate these complex emotions and decisions with grace, wisdom, and a heart fully committed to God’s path.

As a young woman, I was figuring out how to be attractive, noticing boys, and learning what it meant to be a lady, all while trying to accept myself as a believer. I struggled with the pressure I put on myself to fit in without compromising my values, and I realized that this challenge didn't end with my teenage years—it followed me into adulthood.

I had to learn how to be okay with who I am, even when others had opinions about my choices. It took time, but I eventually understood that loving myself and setting boundaries was crucial. My daughter taught me that we teach others how to love us, and that really made me think about what it means to love myself.

This script dives into the importance of renewing my mind, aligning with God's commandments to love Him and love others, and recognizing that I need to know how to love myself first. The question I keep coming back to is: How am I loving me?

When the Bible talks about renewing your mind, it’s deeply relevant to learning how to love yourself, especially if you’ve ever battled with insecurity. Many of us have felt at times that we weren’t enough, that we didn’t have much to contribute. But renewing our minds is key, especially in

What does it mean to renew your mind? It’s not just about reading the Word of God; it’s about meditating on it and letting it transform the way we live. It’s asking ourselves, “How can I apply what God is saying to me in my

We’re constantly bombarded with lies from the enemy, and sometimes, we don’t even realize we’ve believed those lies. Some people harm themselves because they’ve accepted a false identity, one that’s far from the truth of who they are in Christ. We have to renew our minds with what God says about us, not what the world or the enemy tries to tell us.

There’s a story I came across about people who were wrongfully accuse and imprisoned. Over time, they began to believe the lie that they were criminals, even though they knew deep down they were innocent. This is what

Sometimes, we treat others better than we treat ourselves, and that’s because we haven’t fully grasped the truth of God’s love for us. When we renew our minds, we start to see ourselves as God sees us, and that transforms

In this powerful passage, we're reminded of a vital truth: we did not receive the Holy Spirit by following the law of Moses, but by believing the message of Christ. Hallelujah! It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we can perfect ourselves through our own efforts. But how foolish is that? After beginning our new lives in the Spirit, why do we try to go back to relying on our human strength?

Think about it—God doesn’t give us the Holy Spirit or perform miracles among us because of our obedience to the law. No, it’s because we believe in the message of Christ. Just as Abraham believed God and was counted as

Verse 11 makes it clear: no one can be made right with God by keeping the law. The Scriptures tell us that it’s through faith that a righteous person has

This week, this scripture has been on my heart, and I just can’t shake it. It’s such a powerful reminder that our inheritance isn’t something we earn—it’s a gift of God’s grace. Hallelujah, glory to God! I’m so grateful that

From our newest series, "From Trying to Trusting" in this video we discuss faith, specifically the faith of Abraham. As WE learn to BELIEVE God discusses how Abraham's faith in God defined him, despite his moral imperfections. It also touches on the broader idea that having faith in God doesn't mean one will be perfect, but what matters is the belief and trust in God's plans.
