Staying Savvy

Welcome to Staying Savvy. I created this podcast to help women feel confident about their faith, connected to community, and savvy about things such as nutrition, finance, style and more. There's this misconception that being a Christian means your life is dull and boring and I just want to debunk that from the get go. I believe God has the best plans and I'm so excited to talk about all the things that life has to offer us from a biblical perspective. My name is Maya and I am SO glad you're here.

Today Raphael and I are talking about Engagement Season :

How we met

Dating non negotiables

Engagement highs and lows

Why Spain as the destination for our wedding

Perks / Challenges for a destination wedding

Pre-Marital Counseling and navigating differences

What are we looking forward to in marriage

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Hey guys welcome back to the Grace Room Podcast, I am so excited to introduce Morgan Pearce.   Today we are going to talk about how to operate from a place of rest in Jesus.  How to press into God’s presence and why that is so good for our souls.  We also talk about identity and the importance of placing it in God rather than in other things that will ultimately leave us wanting and disappointed.  It can be hard to trust in God’s plans but part of learning to do that is to rest in knowing WHO God is and WHAT he has done! With that said, we are wrapping up Season 1 with Morgan's episode! THANK YOU for spending time with me in this season of your life! I am humbled and honored that I get to host this podcast for the women who need community but more importantly need Jesus! Check out the website for the show notes! Link below.

Hey guys welcome back to the Grace Room podcast, I am so excited to introduce my new friend Reagan.  Reagan has an unbelievable story of redemption where time and time again has had to lean on God in the middle of doubt and fear.  Today we are going to talk about what that looks like. How to press into God’s presence and blessing when it feels like the answers are grey and vague. How to trust that God is going to come through for you, even if it’s not the answer you wanted or were expecting.  I know in my life there have been times where I have felt scared, unsure, and nervous about the future - and I’m sure I’m not the only one, and that’s why I am so excited about this conversation.  Being stuck in an in between place can feel really discouraging and my hope for this conversation is that you walk away from it feeling at peace with wherever you’re at because you will know that God is good and sees you.  With that said, here is my conversation with Reagan.

Welcome back to another episode of the Grace Room, if you’ve been around for a while you’ve heard these ladies before on previous episodes. Bree and Makenzie are two women who love Jesus with their whole hearts and have revived their blog, two little birds wander west, to share the good news of Jesus, write about their own transformations, and express their vibrant personalities through their heart for beautiful photography, fashion, and blogging. God has truly changed them both through the several years that their blog has been silent.  What started as a blog with two single girls who were still figuring out their faith is now a blog that professes the name of Jesus on the daily.  I am so excited to talk with them about how God has completely changed them from the inside out.  We will also be talking about the importance of reading your Bible, stepping into community, and allowing God to lead your steps. I am so excited to share this conversation with you guys, so here is my conversation with Bree and Makenzie.

Hey guys I am so excited to introduce Krista Hengesh. Krista is the creator and founder of LIVE SALTED, an online community that creates scripture based resources and spaces to cultivate a culture where women live intimately with Jesus and boldly in their communities.  We know that God is alive and well, that he is here and present,  and Krista helps women create a community that believes in just that!  LIVE SALTED started Krista’s senior year of college out of the shed in her backyard and God has blessed this ministry in so many ways when everything was still so UNKNOWN. And that’s exactly what we are talking about today.  Do you doubt what God can do in your life? Are you unsure of your future? Are you ready to be obedient in what God has asked of you? What does it look like to move towards action and carry the presence of God in you? We are meant to be a light to the world and the salt of the earth. We are meant to be different - so what does that look like? We talk about all that and more today and I cannot wait to share this conversation with you.  Let’s get into it.
