Oswald Chambers said, “there is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus.” This statement is Biblical and true, but the enemy doesn’t want us to believe it. He is a master of excuses, constantly seeking to hinder us from building a thriving relationship with Christ. In this episode, Leslie offers Biblical, practical ways to overcome excuses and draw closer to Jesus Christ. If you would like to take a set-apart season to build a thriving relationship with Christ, we invite you to join us in Colorado for one of our upcoming Ellerslie discipleship programs this summer/fall. Learn more about our Weeklong Intensive program and our 5-Week Classic Program https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/.

Leslie continues her Most Asked Questions series with a Biblical look at responding to manipulative people.  Many women struggle with feeling controlled or strongly influenced by manipulative friendships, and it can be confusing to know how to respond to this challenge in a healthy and Christ-centered way.  As Christians, we are to be controlled only by the Spirit of  God, rather than by human manipulation.  In this episode, Leslie shares three Biblical keys to becoming set free from manipulation.  If you have struggled with being manipulated, you will be amazed and the freedom and joy you find once you allow God to remove the unhealthy control of others over your life, so that you can make yourself completely and fully available to Him.

Is it possible to be healthy and balanced in both family and ministry? While ministry is a wonderful way to showcase Christ’s love to others, the enemy can often use our good intentions to serve others as bait for stress, chaos and overcommitment. Many Christians who start enthusiastically in ministry end up in a place of burn out and disillusionment as time goes on. In this episode, Leslie draws from her own ministry experience to share key Biblical principles that can help us approach ministry in a healthy and Christ-centered way. She offers insights into how to balance ministry with other responsibilities such as family relationships, and gives practical suggestions for avoiding ministry burnout.  This episode casts a vision for ministry that goes the distance. To learn more about our 2024 Ellerslie Discipleship programs, visit https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/.

Leslie offers key principles for exchanging concern over what others think for the desire that others would see Christ in and through our lives.
