WITH LOVE JILLIAN

I struggled with this episode after posting a graphic about it and then receiving some unkind feedback. I share a little about it in the episode but I want to also say that I was hoping God would give me this profound message for myself and you all - and I felt like this episode just fell flat. However, I realized afterwards that I was focusing on "being right", after receiving pushback comments about the episode's subject, more than conveying an encouraging message of being mothers having their priorities right before God. I pray you'll be encouraged though and that God will be glorified through the principle being discussed.

Is self-care Biblical? Let's talk about it.

So often you'll see women's ministries focus on "stepping into our true calling." But what is that calling? Is it pursuing our dreams: health, wealth, fame, and popularity? Or does God say something completely different than that in His Word?

Who and what are we called to be when we're in Christ?

Let's talk about it.

Jacob and I have been married for over 14 years. 2+ years ago, I was introduced to Reformed Theology after growing up and being committed to "the Restoration Movement" (Church of Christ). My theology was RADICALLY changed, while my husband's wasnt.

How do we handle this within our marriage and honor the Lord in our disagreements? Tune in. <3

Once we are Justified in Christ, we PRACTICE Holiness until we are glorified with Him in eternity.

DISCIPLINE AND SELF-CONTROL are things we must continually practice.

Practice, not to be perfect in this life but to grow in Holiness as we look forward to PERFECTION in HEAVEN with Christ.

When we choose to say YES to the flesh, we are waging war against the Spirit. We need to grow in self-control and in telling our flesh "NO!"

Let's talk about it.

Sloths, as much as I hate them in real life (yes, I do lol) is nothing as horrible as the sin of being slothful. As women in Christ, we are commanded to work hard unto the Lord. We have responsibilities and need to be fighting the sins of laziness. Let's talk about it.

How often do we cling to worthless idols and then when trials hit, we run back to God and seek His help? Our hearts are divided. In this episode I talk about idols, sin, and even good things that keep us from worshipping the Lord fully and solely.

"GIVE US AN UNDIVIDED HEART, LORD...."

My wonderful husband Jacob joins me on the podcast to give his thoughts and perspective of our marriage restoration: after years of pain and hardships, sin and trials.

We had a lot of fun making this episode. I cried, of course but there's lots of laughs. We pray it encourages you and mostly that it points you to turn to Christ in all areas of your life.

In this episode we talk about the SIMPLICITIES of being in Christ and how the world do easily can distract us with it's glitter and comforts from what REALLY matters.

This episode is specifically speaking to (WARNING) Christian women who are committing sexual sins. May the Word of God convict your heart and lead you to repentance: a turning away from your sins and into righteousness.
