The Warrior Raiser® Podcast

Join Angela Johnson and Kerry Smith as they discuss the necessity of intentionality in selecting those in your tribe. Jesus surrounded Himself with specific people during specific times, and they were people whom He sought out and chose purposefully. Jesus did not select His closest companions haphazardly. So let's take a cue from The Master and model His example.

Think through your closest relationships and answer the following questions:

If, after completing this list, you feel confident that you have a tribe of people who are for you and have your best interests at heart, then consider yourself blessed.  Conversely, if you've completed this list, feel a bit dejected, and aren't quite sure what to do next, pray and ask the Lord for help.  Ask Him to bring godly friends and companions into your life. Just remember, though, you have to be a friend to have a friend!  We have to be a bit brave and put ourselves out there!

Let's continue to Aim Our Arrows Well!

Join Angela and Molly Smith on the episode as they discuss the importance of vulnerability in motherhood and surrounding yourself with other women who have a strong foundation of faith.  Molly also shares that the desires of our hearts can shift as our focus shifts to follow Jesus.  She shares that nothing is wasted and even in the day-to-day motherhood grind, our parenting has a cumulative effect on our children.  

We can share BIG love in small moments. Enjoy the conversation!

Loving others is NOT easy. And maybe you struggle with wanting to give limits to your love or setting parameters on how much grace is enough. Loving others is something we all struggle with, and if you don't, you're probably the one people are struggling to love. Just sayin'! But 1 Peter 4:8 tells us, "Most important of all, continue to show DEEP LOVE for each other, for LOVE COVERS a MULTITUDE of sins." 

Join Angela as she dives into this verse to uncover how we're to love others -- even the "trolls" in our lives! In this episode, she also reads an excerpt from Bob Goff's Everybody Always: Becoming Love in a World Full of Setbacks and Difficult People.  So, If you haven't read it, it's worth it!

We close the year out with Mary, the earthly mother of Jesus, as our final Warrior Raiser for 2021.  In this episode, we learn how most divine interruptions are not always beautifully packaged; in fact, they can be downright scary!  But if we make room in our lives for God to interrupt us, we can fulfill His heavenly assignments.  And spoiler alert -- we don't have to have it all figured out!  When it's a divine assignment, God will equip us to fulfill it -- for our good and His glory! 

Merry Christmas from The Warrior Raiser Podcast!
