Over the Rims of Mugs

The first time I met Melanie I knew I wanted to know her better. Her love for Jesus is infectious! She is a communicator, an author and shares her faith with everyone who will listen! She hails from Puerto Rico and uses her bilingual capabilities in many ways; including, publishing a second children’s book called, “My Super Dog”. Melanie shares her story of coming to know Jesus and how God continues to open doors for her to share her faith. You’ll be encouraged and inspired to use YOUR gifts and talents after hearing how Melanie shares hers!

The first time I met Brianna Evans, I was actually a guest on HER podcast! Instantly, I felt a heart connection with Brianna, and while she was the one asking all the questions that day, I wanted to turn the mic around and get to know her better!

Brianna is a Jesus girl, wife, mom, and fellow podcaster. She says her podcast, “Jesus Take The Mic”, is ‘for the faith-filled and the figuring-it-out’… and don’t we all fit in there somewhere?!! I love that she’s curious, and she’s passionate about Jesus and about helping people connect to Him and to each other.

You’ll be encouraged and probably filled with a little more joy by the time you wrap up this episode of our time together!

If you, or someone you love, struggles with depression and no matter what you do, there always seems to be a cloud hanging over you, this podcast may encourage you that there IS hope and help! My guest on this episode, Theresa Fiege, has dealt with clinical depression for a very long time. Theresa shares how she learned to cope and live life on the ‘up’ side thanks to God, a good therapist and medication. I asked Theresa to share what’s helped her in our show notes and she wrote this note to help you:

=> First and foremost, dial 988 if you are thinking of hurting/killing yourself. It will connect you to a live person who can help you. You should also talk to your primary care physician about what is going on.  

=> Stay close to God. I use the YouVersion Bible App. There are so many plans for mental health. Filling my mind with God\'s Word has helped so when I am feeling discouraged or down, I can turn to the verses I\'ve memorized to help. Psalm 42:5-6 is helpful to remind me that God has never failed me and He will not ever.

=> Christian music is a great help. I love the song \"\"Breakdown\"\" by Andrew Ripp. The line, \"\"If you couldn\'t feel further from redemption, you\'re the closest you\'ve ever been, ROCK BOTTOM IS A FIRM FOUNDATION\"\" God sees me where I am and He understands me. Music helps.

You may think that sex trafficking only happens in third-world countries. It certainly doesn't happen here! The truth is, human trafficking is happening right here in our local communities. It’s heartbreaking. It’s ugly. And it’s hard to imagine what we could do to make a difference.

Yolanda answered the call God placed on her life to do something about it. That’s how Zoe Ministries was birthed. Answering the call. This story may not be suitable for younger ones to hear (in case you’re listening with little ones in the room), but this story must be heard because you and I CAN do something to help save the ones who have been trapped and lied to over and over. There is hope for the hopeless, and maybe, just maybe, God is asking us to help provide hope and healing to those who desperately need to know that their identity is in Jesus.

Mandi shared her story with us several years ago (Episode 19). It was one of the first times she had publicly revealed her heartbreaking story of being trafficked from a very young age and how her life had continued to spiral out of control until she found Jesus.

Courageous to step forward and speak out, God has opened one door after the other to give her a platform for her bravery and boldness to help others find help, hope and healing. This part of her story - what God has done through her in the last few years - is the stuff only God could do.

It’s Genesis 50:20 written on the pages and lived out in the life of Mandi. To God be the glory!!
