The makingtodaymatter90's Podcast

Following Christ is not the norm. At least true followship isn't. There are so many fans of Christ, but I wonder how many genuine followers of Christ there are? Don’t follow your feelings, follow Jesus. Don’t follow your heart, follow Jesus. Your heart is deceitful.

Following Christ does not mean you have to be perfect but rather accept the fact that you are loved in your imperfections. It doesn't mean that you necessarily have to give up everything, but rather remember that God gives and takes away but He is still good. 

“Jesus fed 5000 but only 500 followed Him after lunch. He had 12 disciples, but only 3 went further in the Garden and only 1 stood with Him at the cross. The closer you get to the Cross, the smaller the crowd becomes.”  Are you a fan of Jesus or a follower of Jesus?

What do you do when someone you love is gone sooner than you would have ever expected? Join me in this conversation with Jessie Tanner as she shares how her love story began and how she is now navigating her life after loss with three children. Truly, God's grace and God's provision is evident in her life.

Setting goals is great but growing is the true goal. You may not reach all of your goals but the important thing is that you grow in the process. Remember, failure is not fatal but rather failure is vital to success.

Abigail has been a friend of mine for the past 17 years! We have served together, attended high school and college together and are raising our own families together even though we are in different cities. In our conversation, she encourages us on how to biblically raise our children, love our husbands, and continue serving Jesus with our whole hearts.

In this interview, Amy shares her experience as someone who served in the military, had a spouse in the military, and was a military mom. She shares practical truth on how she navigated through the tough seasons and encourages us as wives and moms of the importance of having a relationship with Jesus, with your family, and the necessity of having a church family.

Cassandra and her family are missionaries to Uganda, East Africa. She shares a little about how they are adjusting to their new home, new lifestyle, and new ministry. Being on the mission field has its own set of struggles and Cassandra demonstrates such grace as she embraces this season that she is in and continues to fulfill the calling that God has on her life. She encourages us to keep on going -- to not give up-- on the Lord, on our spouses, and our families. She also shares why it's vital for our children to see us walking with the Lord, loving the Lord, and loving others. Tune in and be encouraged!

Kristine reminds us that we are not alone. She shares how we can encourage our children to live godly in a godless society and how we can encourage other pastors' wives while enjoying our service to the Lord and to our families.

It's not enough to recognize your priorities nor to remove any hindrances so you can better prioritize. These steps are great to get your life in order but it's vital to replace those hindrances or stumbling blocks with helpers or stepping stones. Take the time to replace that which may have caused you to stumble.
