The Visions Network

Onto our second episode of the new season, which will dive into friendships and going through changes within that area. Separating is one thing, but being able to move-on peacefully, and also still have grace and love for whoever you've parted ways with, is another. We're all still very much on that journey but today we'll give you some insight, throwback stories and advice on how to deal with making and parting with friends as a young adult.

We hope you're blessed by this episode, so please share with others, as well as sharing your thoughts with us privately or leave it down below

It's been a while, and we have returned, hyped and ready for where God is taking us with the platform. We're glad to be making content for you guys again!

In today's return, we are discussing the importance of letting go of our own perfect plans for our lives, how we deal with whatever anxiety we've experienced, and how we can become more at peace and joyful by reminding ourselves of God's thoughts about us and self-reflecting on our own thoughts, actions, and words.

A reminder to you all that our uploads for the foreseeable future will be every fortnight from today, so please keep your post notifications on when the time comes for you to tune in!!

Hi everyone!

We hope you've been keeping well during our break. We will return with our conversations but before that, we've been blessed to collaborate with Neuff and have a conversation with Destiny about what he wish he knew before he started sprinting. We hope you take some nuggets from this and apply it to your own journey, whatever stage that is. Feel free to check out Neuff's website below and engage with their and our social media channels below

today we're discussing how we can grow in faith to discern and hold each other accountable, based on things that some churches/church leaders may do that completely goes against God's instructions.

how do you deal with conflict?

how are we told to deal with it according to the Bible?

NEW INTRO SONGGGGG! We're back and we're getting better. Massive shout out to Abz Rapero, for helping us out with an intro song. He's a great talent and that song entitled 'Me, Myself and Christ' is out on Spotify, YouTube, and other streaming platforms, so please check him out and support his growth as an artist!

At various points in life, we can be at a crossroads, where there are huge or important decisions to make that affect our future. Sometimes we get caught up in the here and now, that we lose sight of what lies ahead of us. Outside noise, comparison, and our own intrusive thoughts can give way to this.

This episode is an encouragement from us - we're still going through these same changes and tough decisions as you guys are, so through the strength of Christ, we'll all testify of his faithfulness during the trials and testing seasons of our life.

Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things

Philippians 4:8

Fear is not your future, neither should it be something halting you from doing what God is laying on your heart to do/achieve in the present moment. 

There’s purpose in whatever steps you take and whatever consequences follow. Whether the consequence is painful or peaceful, you’re being moulded to learn from it.

who's at the centre of your life?

what unintentionally takes priority in your life?

we're here to empathise and encourage you guys to put God as the centre and recognise Him as the source of our strength and joy throughout the ups and downs that life brings. He can pour into us, enabling us to pour into other people and other areas of our lives that need it.

seasons change, people change, God stays the same.

to quote Madison Ryann Ward's song 'Seasons'...

"for anybody out there feeling afraid that you're gonna be stuck in the same old place, seasons ALWAYS change"

be encouraged guys, be still, and know God is in control (Psalms 46:10); enjoy this episode and we'll catch you next week!!
