Way back when before sin came crashing into creation in the Garden of Eden we find God walking & talking with Adam & Eve.

Recorded for us in Genesis 1: 2" And God blessed them. And God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." God later issues this same command to Noah and his sons and their sons.

God is inviting us to continue in the work of creation, by populating the earth with children. Parenting is a beautiful way to impact generations for the Kingdom of God. However, not all are called to parenthood.

In today's episode, we explore being fruitful and multiplying through the lens of parenthood, mentorship, discipleship, service, ministry, and the parable of the talents.

We serve an UNLIMITED creator God, he is not stunted, his imagination has not run dry, he is not without inspiration, he has not surrendered hope, he is still in the business of MULTIPLYING. Y'all get on out there and be fruitful.

Let's light it up!

In a world that would have us believe that every choice we make or road we take is absolute, it's imperative that explore the option to PIVOT.

Paul is writing to the church of Colossae, he himself, is bound in prison for his work for Christ. He tells the Colossian people that he has been agonizing for them, for the people of Laodicea, and for others (churches/people of Christ) who have not seen him.

The Colossians are living for Jesus and standing strong in their faith, but he has spotted some potential problems. The problems may stem from their past, their known traditions, and reversions to ways of old. Paul is writing to help encourage and strengthen their faith, and in Col. 2:1-5 he is giving them beautiful imagery of knitting hearts together in encouragement and the strength and fullness found in living life together in Christ.

Today, my dear friend Jenna & I speak on friendship, highs, lows, seasons of silence, being authentic, showing up, standing in the gap, and living for the Lord.

Christ is ENOUGH.

Our hope is that you may be encouraged in Christ, grounded in his word, and know how very loved you are.

Dirt is dirt, is dirt...is soil wrong...(see what I did there?!

As we move through this series we are now focusing on the soil from the angle of feeding its needs, in doing so we are able to yield a mighty harvest in due season.

Soil beyond the surface has a purpose.

4 purposes that we cover in today's episode are:

1. To host.

2. To store.

3. To protect.

4. As a medium for growth.

We can join the expert to meet the needs of our soul to keep us in perfect peace in the season of work and rest, after all our Creator knows best!

In today's episode, we're anchored in Matthew 13, beginning in verse 24 and positioning our hearts to hear the parable of the weeds. We take the stance of the disciples and glean from the sower what he means by the parable of the weeds, as explained beginning in verse 36.

Skandalon, in Greek, as explained by Bible study tools, means to trap, snare, a stumbling block; any impediment placed in the way and causing one to stumble or fall, and can be used to define: any person or thing by which one is (entrapped) drawn into error or sin.

We set our hearts to understanding Jesus as the sower, the Kingdom of God as the seed, and the field as the world.

May we anticipate the harvest! "Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. (Matthew 13:43)  

Today we explore the parable of the sower found in the three synoptic gospels: Matthew, Mark & Luke. We are reading from Matth. 13 (ESV).

We dig into Jesus, the Son of Man as the sower, the seed as the Word, and how Jesus lovingly and graciously sowed the seed of the gospel for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God on earth as in heaven.

4 types of soil are identified in the parables: the path, rocky ground, thorny soil, and good soil.

Our human hearts can be so fickle, just as the believers gathered to welcome Jesus as their King " Hosanna! Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" as recorded in Matt. 21:9 we, too, can find ourselves rejecting the living, active word of God and all it's sanctifying, edifying, empowering, enlightening goodness because it doesn't fit well with our agenda, aspirations, or attitudes of the day.

God is gracious and knows this about the believers of the Old Testament, the Israelites, and tells them, "And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26 This is TRUE of us today. Jesus is in the business of healing the hurts & hangups and working the soil of our tender hearts- ask, and you will receive.

Hello Sweet Friends, 

Come on in and celebrate with us! TODAY is one of the books. We had the best and most blessed time recording the inaugural guest interview, with guest speaker Virginia Green. 

Virginia is a beautiful lady of the Lord who is faithfully engaged in her roles as wife to Chelse, Air Force Spouse, Mother, a dedicated member of her church family, and a Personal & Work Life Consultant. 

I recently had the joy of attending a communication workshop she hosted, and through prayer and watching her present the content that she was speaking from a Biblical perspective. 

Today she shares Biblical truth with us centered on communication, here on Salty, Lit, and Spiritually Fit. 

Scriptures shared include James 1:19-21; and Proverbs 16:24. 

This episode is a rerecording of the original Episode 3: Full Send. 

Through prayer, intentional time in the word, fellowship with other believers, and eyes that seek to see the goodness of God in the land of the living are actualized the messages, themes, thoughts I bring forward to this platform and to you my sweet friends. 

God's word is NOT timid. Weak. Diluted. Or meant to be substituted. 

His power is on FULL SEND. 

In today's episode I'll unpack a precious gift my not-so-little guy gifted me and how the Lord rushed me with Acts 1:8 on replay. 

The enemy may try to silence, corrupt, kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus made a WAY and he gave us a helper and his power is on full send. Will you receive it? 

Rename! In EFFECT: 3/3/23. 

Same ol' Brandy ..but by the grace of God better every day! 

Same ol' scriptures. Truth is TRUTH. 

Same principles and purpose: Edify, encourage, and testify. 

Today we focus on being a living sacrifice and read out Romans 12.

When Jesus came on the scene it changed EVERYTHING. 

When we enter his presence and accept him as our Savior there is a sanctification process but make no mistake about it the power of the holy spirit takes residence IMMEDIATELY. 

Have you given up places of power, authority, and influence in your life? Do you find yourself waiting to be empowered?  The world isn't waiting for your power, your perfect, your plan BUT, it is waiting for HIS power, His perfect, and His plan. Be about your Father's business and let him enter YOURS. 

Let's journey beyond the ends of our noses, our driveways, our neighborhoods and live out the commission of Acts 1:8 TODAY.
