Stirring Faith

Oh, Mylanta! Do we need help when it comes to controlling our tongues? If we want to get serious about leaving behind timidity and marginal living, the key has something to do with how well we gain control over our mouths. James leaves his bulleted style to camp on this one issue for quite a while which should tell us, it's pretty important. We need it in every facet of life. This is an episode you won't want to miss.

Have you ever felt stuck? Struggled with timidity? Felt like you couldn't put your finger on it, but something is holding you back from moving to that next place with God. Maybe God is beckoning you to live more courageously for Him. James calls us to do just that, developing a faith that is able to stand in the face of difficulty. But this requires bravery and the ability to encounter badness with joy. How can we possible do such impossibilities? And what are the benefits? That's what this episode is all about.

If you are looking for practical ideas to express gratitude to God and others, this is your episode! You and I are supposed to be thankful and able to articulate our gratude. But sometimes it's just not so simple. Sometimes we are simply unable to articulate it or express our thankfulness adequately. Forget helping others do so when we are in such a rut! Not anymore! Cheri guides the listener through eight practical ways you and I can practice gratitude from the Psalms and also offers ideas for expressing our thanks in creative, yet meaningful ways.

You and I know we are supposed to be thankful, but sometimes we can feel indifferent. The chaos of daily life drives us in the fast lane and we often lose sight of what matters. The Psalms are filled with the words we forget. In this episode Cheri focuses on seven reasons each of us has to be thankful as an encouragement as we head into the next few weeks.

There is so much for which to be thankful. This episode marks the beginning of a new series on the She Yearns Podcast called Psalms of Thanksgiving. In this opening, Cheri focused on what she considers her own Psalm of Thanksgiving by making it personal with refreshing honestly and candid openness about her own experiences dealing with a sense of insignificance or invisibility that lingered for decades. The Psalms are perfect for illuminating God's faithfulness by showing us God does not leave His own lost in the shadows but draws them out in Truth.

How Do I Start Again? It's the final question in the "How Do I Do That?" series and this is a Bonus episode to finish up the series. What we can take from this time is the assurance that God has a history of helping His people get back on track. What He has done in the past, He can do in your life and mine today. The Bible provides examples and Cheri helps articulate steps for taking up whatever we have put on the shelf --even if it's us--to begin again.

We've all experienced it. Sometimes you and I can find ourselves off track, distracted, or maybe even in a mess of our own making. Let's say we know to run to God for forgiveness and restorations. But how do we start again? That's a whole different dilemma. Because everyone needs a re-start from time to time, this is a genuine question we face. How do I start again? Because we need to know how to get moving down the road to experience the fruitful lives God intended. This is where we can learn how we do that.

You have probably been there like I have. There are times when you and I can go through experiences that cause us to distrance ourselves from God. Just like in any other relationship, in order for it to grow beyond the WHATEVER has caused the relationship to cool, barriers develop. We find ourselves wondering if we can find restoration and if so, how do we obtain it. Even in these wonderings the Bible offers hope and direction. God has a history of restoring all sorts of people from various predicaments. How can my relationship with God be restored? That's the all-important question Cheri addresses in this episode of the She Yearns Podcast.

How can I be restored? It's a question many of us hold but few want to ask. Sometimes the state of our relationship with God is not what it should be or anything like we would want it to be. We want to ask but we can't or we don't. If this resonates, know you are not alone. A quick Google search proves it is a common quandry. Cheri brings it to the surface and talks about the Who God restores and helps us see how to get there.
