Proverbs 16:24 says, "Gracious words are like a honeycomb sweetness to the soul and health to the body." 

The definition of authentic is: sincere, no pretense, true to one's self and true to the one who I identify with.

Luke 7: Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman 

Kristie King:

"We are not truly authentic because we are looking to the world to validate us."

We want to all be available to the Lord and one another right? 2020 is calling us to Christ and one another.

Kristie encourages us all to do just that in today's episode.  We must surrender to Him, die to self day after day. Matthew 16:24 encourages us to deny ourselves and follow Jesus. We want to walk in your ways, Lord.

It's not about me!

Be available to what the Lord has called you to today.

To listen to what someone has to say is one of the most loving things we can do.

We must fight for a spirit of gratitude!

Set alarms in your phone to remind you to be intentional: mid-morning alarm, remember to walk in the Spirit. In the afternoon, text someone and encourage them.  An evening alarm can remind you to pray for your people.

Verbally check-in with all your people, family and friends, often and ask them how they are doing. "Fine" is not a good answer.

When you are anxious, what are you running toward?

Fight for the appropriate voices that will feed your soul and not add anxiety to your life. Proverbs 16:24

Galatians 5:16 says "So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh."

In this episode we talk about Jennie Allen's book, "Get Out of Your Head" and the fact it wrecked our world this summer with a  group of ladies.  Grab you a girlfriend or 3 and read AND discuss this one together! Is it too much to make it mandatory reading?

We also talk about one of Fran's greatest parenting lessons.  Reaction vs response.  There is a BIG difference between the two.  

Enjoy! And y'all be sweet. 

You gotta start somewhere right? Voxer, meet the podcast world.  Thanks for having us! The app Voxer is where it all began actually.  Thanks for listening to the first of many episodes as we ramble about the serious and not so serious in everyday life!
