In this episode, Emily tells us we don't have to change anything about ourselves. Transformation, growth, and change will come, but not when we try to force it. God is not waiting for us to change. He loves and accepts us just as we are. He is gracious and compassionate and welcomes us with our weaknesses and strengths. 

As we approach Thanksgiving, let this message teach you to be thankful for where you are right now and for all of the things that make you, you. Let your goal be self-acceptance in all of your quirks and abilities.

"Experience of life really helps you to walk alongside Jesus and really understand what it means to journey with him, and not to carry burdens. ‘Cause I remember being in church and going to church faithfully and just – I could not stop worrying, I could not stop fearing, I could not stop being depressed. But the more that I press into my relationship with him, the more things change in my life." – Leah Moore

128 In this episode, Emily unpacks the topic of fasting. Fasting is one of those things that we feel like we have to do exactly right or it seems like something to do to try to get something from God. It sounds performative and manipulative, right?  Emily reminds us that neither of those things are true and that fasting can actually be a great tool to grow your relationship with God.

Listening through this episode you will hear: how fasting was used in during the ancient times of the bible in many different circumstances, and as well as Emily's personal experience with fasting.

Everything that is happening around us is spiritual in some way, shape, or form. There's so much that's going on in the spiritual realm - which we miss when we're just continuing to live and focus on the physical that's right in front of us. 

This episode will help you be in tune with the Holy Spirit and as well as help you be more aware of God's presence and his voice. 

When we fast, we do not do it out of ritualistic feelings or unworthiness but instead out of self control from the power that God gives us through the Holy Spirit. You are not worthless. Begin your fasting journey with the Lord and grow deeper with him.
