No matter who we are or how strong we may feel at times, we are all prone to grow weary in our own human strength. The circumstances of life can feel heavy. When we think "business" is equivalent to "productivity", it can be easy to run ourselves exhausted. When we associate our identity and worth with what we do, it can be very easy to become tired very quickly. When we believe the lies of the enemy that the work we are doing isn't making an impact, it can be very discouraging. There are so many different avenues in which we find ourselves growing weary, but in Isaiah 40 that God "does not grow faint or weary" so it is through resting in Him that we can be strengthened and refreshed. I hope today's episode encourages you to redirect your focus to the One Who is sustaining and wants to give you strength that is sustaining through Himself.Spring Collection: https://clothedinloveboutique.com/emma-mae-jenkins-collection/

How is it that we can be holy? What does it mean that children of God are referred to as His holy Temple? In my alone time with the Lord in His Word recently, I came across Ezekiel 43:12 which addresses that the law of the temple is holiness. This brought so much joy to me as I came to think about how through faith in Christ and being filled with His Spirit, we are God's Temple, made holy in the eyes of the Lord. I hope this message encourages you today in the power of the gospel and the reality that the Lord longs to dwell with us and us with Him.

Temptation is a guarantee, but how we each choose to daily respond to the temptation is exactly that - a choice.

We hope to encourage you in God's Word and that you may be equipped to be obedient to the Lord in the face of temptation.

Would you ever put confidence and humility together or do you think that they are separate - that you are either one or the other but never both? Well, I hope this episode encourages you differently. Humility and confidence can go hand in hand because to walk in confident humility is to walk in complete dependency on the Lord. It is to walk in acknowledgment of how great and able He is. It is to walk in assurance that He is with you and fighting for you. Confidence and humility actually do go together

Have you gotten comfortable in bad habits? Comfortable in not knowing or using the gifts and strengths that God has entrusted to you? Comfortable in thought patterns that aren't truthful or helpful? Friend, in God's Word we read that Jesus came so we may have abundant life, yet how often do we as believers settle or get comfortable in what God clearly says He has set us free from? In today's podcast, we are being challenged to go deeper and seek the face of the Lord. We are being encouraged in the promises and the character of God. We are being inspired to refuse the option of settling. You are loved.

Happy week of Easter folks! Join me in the Word today to learn more about how awesome the Lord is. He is the Lord Who burst through the grave and defeated sin and death so that through Him we can have eternal life and be in relationship with Him forever. He is the peace that bursts through anxiety. He is the hope that bursts through despair. He is the light that bursts through the darkness. I pray you are mightily encouraged today.

We all want to be seen, thought of as beautiful, pursued, and valued. We all want to have purpose and know that we are significant. We all have certain plans as to when we want to be in a dating relationship or get married or when we want to have kids. Wanting these things is not a bad thing in and of itself but we will be left unsatisfied when we seek to meet these needs and fulfill these plans apart from the Lord. Today Bethany and Kristen from Girl Defined Ministries are joining us to talk about how it is only in the Lord that we can discover our true value and purpose, and it is only by putting our trust in Him that we can have peace when plans don't go our way. What God says and Who He is is trustworthy no matter what.

I think many people who have been set free in Christ are continuing to live as captives because there is a misunderstanding of grace and a lack of taking God at His Word. I pray this podcast encourages you in the power of what Jesus has done and how this is offered to anyone who surrenders to Him - no matter what your past looks like, and that you are encouraged to step forward in forgiveness and faith because God has so much in store for you on the other side of your trust in Him.

Hey lovely humans! Welcome back to part 2 of this sweet conversation with my man! Last week we discussed the importance of preparing your heart before stepping into a relationship by seeking the Lord first because He is worthy of our first pursuit. Josh shared what that looked like for him in his journey leading us to us dating. Today I will be sharing what God taught me by stepping into this relationship with Josh. While yes - it is so important to prepare intentionally and proceed with prayer and community - it is also important not to think you have to be "perfect" before you can step into a relationship. If this is the case, you will be waiting your whole life. I pray this episode encourages you and challenges you in a good direction. We love you!! What a sweet journey :)
